In mems suitings the tendency is
toward home-spuns. cheviots ant
worsted effects. Extreme style fol
young men will be the semi militar,
cut coat, making the trousers a me-
dunn peg top.
For men, the tree and four buttor
sack will remain as good as hereto
fore. In little fellows wear from ~:
to wears old the Norfolk blouse viii
Ebe very popular For lads from to
i6 the regular Norfolk and two-piece
suits are all that are being shown, with
the Norfolk far in the lead.
In soft hats the tendency is toward
the extreme wide Trims with low
crowns. Many of the best hatters are
showing them with brims five inches
| in width.
There will be very little change in the
shapes of stiff hats from last season
with the exception of few very wide
brims which will be worn by those who
want something out of the ordinary.
| In straw hats, the Optimo will be
the favorite. 1t is a square crown, dir
front, somewhat after the panturis
STYLE The genuine panamas, which
were so popular last summer. will be
"passe."
In collars the tendency in the east is
toward the wing collar, but the double
band turn down has come to stay.
Dark effects in neck-wear are the
best.
| Many light shades in shirts will be
worn, altho all the good houses are
showing as large variety in dark eff
fects as last summer.
There is a leaning toward plain slate
blue as fashionable color for socks and
underwear.
