 Summer dress" says the haberdash- CTS expert, which is more or less negli- gee, is not crcumscribed by those many little rules which quite properly surround attire designed for more formal wear and for cooler weather; therefore. one Is not tied down in making selection to any particular cut of jacket, or pattern in cloth, color in shirtings or eravatings. So long as good taste Is shown in the combinations, and the contrasts are not too marked, man may indulge in color freely and he may have a great variety of outfits, for summer calls us out doors, and we must be garbed correctly for a round of the links, sail in the yacht, a day at the races, or for any of the many diversions that must be dressed up for if they are to be properly and com fortably enjoyed. I say comfortable, for assuredly the man who who feels that what he wears is proper and suits the time. place and occasion is comfortable.
 For all ordinary occasions. and by this I mean for business town or country wear, the two-piece suits made with either the low buttoning single or dou- ble breasted jackets will be in good form In blue serge the double breasted jacket cut rather low and with a good bit of curve to the side seams, will be very popular. These jackets will be worn with turn-up blue serge trousers or with the always acceptable nannels. Of course hannels should not be worn in town. It is best when In the city on business to wear the solid blue serge suit. or one of homespun, or the soft worsteds. In the homespuns, grays are very good, and in the soft, unfinished worsteds the gray plads have come into great favor These fancy suitings are in any number of com binations and colorings, they are plaid, overcheclS mixed or in neat, almost in- visible striplngs. They are invariably made up in single breasted jackets, and the back of these has a single vent in the center of the back.
 Concerning Shirts.
 For wear about town or country one may have a great number of shirts. would recommend the fannels for out ing, the madras plain front shirts for days when the jacket could be buttoned. When the pleated shirt is worn with the coat unbuttoned the effect Is not good. These shirts muss up quickly and do not look as well after an hours wear as the plain front shirt. The shirts may be of light or dark grounds and in any of the very many striped patterns. So far as collars go there are but three styles. The wing will be worn as long as the weather is cool. When 1t becomes warm then the medium height fold collar worn either with a tie or four-in-hand is proper. great many young men will wear the old style turn down collar in warm wealth CT. This is the collar with rather wide band, deep rounded points and very little front opening at the band.
 "Waistcoats of washable fabrics have lost none of their popularity, but do not think that the many fancy weaves and colored affairs will be as correct as the plain single breasted white duck affairs. These may be worn with any of the summer suits and they will go. particularly well with pleated shirts. The hideous tan waistcoats have gone out of style and are only to be found in the cheaper shops The slate tones and the black and white mixtures as well as the spotted materials cannot be said to be unfashionable, but they are lit- tie out of place in a scheme of dress which possesses altogether enough tints and colors without them. If a man de- sires to wear eolored shirts, plaid suit ings and colored cravatings he should be careful either to wear waistcoat of the same material as the coat or of plain white duck.
 For the Country Only.
 "Norfolks are for the country only They are best in roughish cloths such as homespuns or tweeds. The suits are generally of one material. For golf or any of the ordinary country diversions the homespun tweed or flannel trousers will be worn with cheviot, madras or flannel negligee shirts, low turn down collars, narrow four-in-hands and plain saddler stitched black or russet belts, The half hose may be of lisle of fancy pattern and the shoes low cut calfs or Iussets With these suits a fancy hand lSerchiee of linen or pineapple silk or foulard is carried.
 ''Yachting clothes seldom change. The best outfit for day aboard of yacht where you are not expected to do any work consists of the double breasted blue coat white flannel or duck trousers, with channels low cut shoes white negli- gee shirt, wing or turn down or high band collar and black tie or four-in- hand The hat may be a Panama or the re gulation yachting cap. If you are to be one of the crew, then you may go aboard IT. white duck trousers, white canvas shoes. white negligee shirt with 1o VI, oaIIor opu l,loclx ffa and xx-bffe oa n.
