are really admirable in effect. serving
to relieve the over plainuess that some
times exists. The plaits are laid in the
usual manner. being only made double
or triple. in place Of plain, and show
white pearl buttons with button holes.
The tucks are more often seen In stripes
than plain material and are arranged to
bring these together in a uniform man
ner. Favorite materials are butchers

With these waists Is provided almost
endless variety In stocks and ties. One
Of the smartest Is a stock Of white

Their favorite Is white stock. with pom

OF plain colored mercerized linen; and
others again are all white stock and tie
OF the same. The ascot is a favortte,
but the unfinished square ends are not
satisfactorily worn with a shirt-waist,
and the "once-over'' tie is preferred to
the regulation one. The scarf III its
original form suits closed Jackets, that
conceal the ends and reveal only the
exposed to full view. The flowing ends
give grace and the simpler tie IS far
prettier when worn. as it new Is. with an
open eton or no coat at all.
Hats are essentially simple. For later
wear there are some charming ones of

as well as Tuscan, satin and other more
familiar foundations. Sailors are always
worn, but are not predominant this year
as has been the case. AS a rule. their
brtms are wider than those Of last year
and are slightly rolled up. The genuine

1t has perennial life and differs only in
detail from season to season, but for
the time being this modification is the
shape sought. The Marquis, or hat with
the pint at the front, has been hope
iessIy overdone-so completely IN fact
that it Is already passe. In addition
to the sailors. favorite golf models are
found IN walking shapes and the broad
brimmed, slightly-rolled Cuban straws
with soft pliable crowns. Panama
shapes are costly. Cuban and Manila
rivals are far less expensive, yet al
most equally light in weight. Rough. |
simple straws are always in vogue. "A
