MEN LESS CONSERVATIVE
AS TO EVENING DRESS
The Best Allowing Themselves
Of Haberdashery That Go With Vests Collars
!, Ties and Gloves Show Many Minor Changes in Style.

There is a tendency towards less con-
servatism in evening dress which is max
ing itself felt in the various articles of
haberdashery that go with the full dress
suit as we'll with the Tuxedo or dinner
jacket, and it is especially apparent in the
styles of shirts and Waistcoats shown at
the fashionable shops. ,,
Whereas the plain white linen shirt used
to be the only one permitted by conven-
ton and the rules Of good form, we now
find piques of more or less pronounced
rib, figured linens or narselles, with spot
or line marking of white on white and
satin striped linens for wear with the
long tailed coat and semi-soft front linens
and fine white madrasses made up in
with the Tuxedo coat. Indeed, some of
the leading makers go much further than
this and exhibit embroidered shirts and
fronts with an edge finished with a mar
row ruffie,. but as yet such things are
hardly worth consideration, for, tho ex-
hibited in the shops, they have not gained
the sanction Of well-dressed men,, and I'M
til that important step has been attained
1t is not safe to run the risk of criticism
The shirt illustrated In this issue is OF
fine ribbed white pique, or rather the
bosom Is of white pique, and it may be
taken as constituting the smartest mode
of this seasons style, not too extreme a
departure from the old conservative stand
ard to take any chance Of the imputation

now SWEETEST Ito have the cuffs cut square
instead Of rounded, and small pearls are
the most fashionable style Of studs.
Except with the Tuxedo coat, when it
should always be worn, the black evening
vest is now almost thing Of the past.
Not only for dinners, dances and other
formal occasions is the white waistcoat
CONNIE il fault but it is worn almost ex-
clusively with the long tailed coat for the
aters, evening balls, ETC., no matter Of how
little formality. In point of fashion there
is little choice between the single and
double breasted shapes but the former
are a bit the newer in style and are ac-
cordingly given the preference by the
smart: haberdashers and many men who
observe the fine distinctions in dress. AS
said above: there is tendency towards
less conservatism in materials, and, while
silk or satin is not to be advised figured
piques, linens, marseilles and other wash
stuffs in self tones of white on white are
correct and good in style.

pockets, there may be four, three (as illus
trated), or only two, as preferred, and
tho rarely the case, the lower pockets are
sometimes made patched and sometimes
with flaps. Double breasted styles have
the same broad U shaped opening, but of
course one side overlaps the other, and

that will do away with the numerous i'm
pedimenta that must be carried along on
a long tour thru a country Of unknown or
doubtful resources, such as blankets, cook
ing utensils supplies and even water, to
say nothing of guns, fishing tackle and
extra clothing. The only point is that all
the matter should be easily lifted out for
portage and should leave the canoe as
light as possible. :
The material of which a canoe should
be made is another disputed point Birch
bark, cedar, paper and canvas each hay-
ing its warm adherents. But whatever
the material used, dryness is a point that
should be insisted upon. as there is no
form Of discomfort quite so disturbing as
a leaky canoe. A boat that takes in a
little water is toerable, because it may
have a false bottom, but such a device
for a canoe, besides adding unnecessary
weight, would not serve much use, be-
cause frequently one wants to sit down
in the bottom of the canoe. Even when
sitting on the low seat or cushion wet
skirts are sure to result unless the canoe
is, perfectly dry.
Another point of disputation is the sin

Of this question is too highly: scientific
for any but the very expert. It is con-

the Nez Perces nation, under the Leaders,
ship Of Chief Joseph rebelled and started
to leave the reservation. It was the in-
tention Of the Indian chief to get into the
British possessions and thus elude theI
supervision Of Uncle Sam. The race for
the boundary with the soldiers on their
trail was one Of the fastest marches In the
annals of modern warfare.
The Indians fought their way north as
far the Missouri river at the base of the
Little Rockies. General Howard and Col-,
onel Miles were on their trail. A detach-i
ment Of the Seventh cavalry and q few
soldiers Of the Second, numbering perhaps
$50 men, In command Of Captain Hale,
overlook the Indians while they were en-
camped in a basin on Snake creek. Cap
tain Hale had asked for the command OF
the detachment that he might avenge the
death Of certain fellow officers who fell
earlier in the Nez Perces war.
Death of Hale.
The Indians were taken by surprise,
but were in veritable stronghold On
one side of the creek bottom was a
precipitate cut bank and on the other
side was steep hill. IT. was
necessary for the soldiers to expose
themselves on this hill to get at the red
men, who had strongly entrenched them
selves behind breastworks. Down this
hill the troops charged with the gallant
took deliberate aim at the approaching
detachment. When the smoke had cleared
away and shelter had been secured by the
troops, Captain Hale, his lieutenant and
seventeen other men were dead It was
a costly charge but the troops secured a
position as strong as that occupied by the
Indians and held it until General Miles
with his reinforcements arrived. During
the three days fighting that followed there
were mo fatalities among the soldiers
Chief Joseph cherished an old-time
grudge against General Howard and re-
fused to surrender to him. He admired
Miles, however. and surrendered to him,
although General Howard was the rank
ing officer. After the battle the bodies
Of the two officers were sent to their
homes and the seventeen men were buried
on the side of a neighboring hill.
Chief Joseph is still active and spent

adjust certain claims of his people against

double paddle is considered preferable ex-
