FASHIONS AT HARVARD.
WINTER CLOTHES FOR COLLEGE MEN
LAW INTO THEMSELVES.

Cambridge. Mass. oct i CspeciaD.-A leading
Boston tailor was asked recently. What styles
viii Harvard men follow In their clothes this fang"
Heavens" he said. don't ask me- ! don't ser
the styles. The boys DO that"
What the tailor said was true. No fashion
plate, however unique or fancy, ever produced the
facsimile OF q typical college man. and no mer-
chant whether q tailor. halter. bootmaker or
pipe manufacture. was ever able 10 introduce a
style here. The college men know what they
want They fellow no one. and they dress IN a
manner peculiar 70 themselves. Their clothes
shoes, pipes. hats. collars and nsckties are made
aisr their designs. and the submissive manu-
iaeiurer bows n silent resignation 20 his fate.
This year Harvard men will assert their indi-
Nouslity In more than ever before. With
pancake" hat, low "dinlSy" collar, coat well
moulded 10 the form, tapping bloomerlike trousers
