FASHIONS FOR MEN.
The Little Things in Mans Dress May
Often Count for Much and Be
inexpensive.

Little things in a mans dress may
often count for SO much that he may
lock well dressed even when he spends
comparatively little on his clothes
1t is much more economical, for in
stance, to buy two suits of clothes at
once than to get one and wear il ont
befor, Il second is provided. BY alter
Mating the two much more use can be
had out of them and the suits will keep
i'll much better condition. Even men vino
can afford to buy as many clothes as
they like have two pairs of trousers
made to every suit.
In the same way it is economical to
alternate shoes rather than to stick 20
one pair until they are worn out They
last longer and they keep in better
shape. This sort of economy is. Of
course, necessary only for men who have
to think twice before they buy. But
they are in the majority 1t may seem
an eXtravagance to buy two derby hats
ut once. but il pays i'll the long run. \
shabby hat will have more effect on n
persons appearance thnn any other sin
gle detail of attire. This duplication of
articles of dress may he carried as far
as the gloves, which like everything else
man wears, last longer and look better
when they are not worn every day.
Il is a singular fact that foreigners are
more particular about their linen than
the average American. \ New Yorker
MAY not shudder if his cuff is slightly
worn or his shirt front broken from the
starching. Such Il thing is regarded as
a calamity by foreigner from any of
the continental countries lie would he
as much shocked ut such an imperfec-
tion as an American would be at Il spot
on his coat.
Even the handkerchief has its effect in
creating the impression Il mans dress
may make. The sight of soiled,
crushed handkerchief is discouraging.
even though it came from the pocket of
the smartest cut coat On the other
baud a neat, fresh handkerchief. even
though its material he not of the finest.
mstinctirely preiudices one i'll favor of
its owner
Simplicity in handkerchiefS is tile mode
this winter The highly colorcd mauveS
nlnlS and green's are Il thing of the PAST
The handkercliefS brought this year
from Paris usually have little more than
a colored band about them. The mono
gram matches the color of the band
Very smart are the plain white handker-
chiefs with the letters done in color. In
such eases the monograms are very
elaborate.
IN plain white ii is possible to pay aS
mash rs one wants. Fine white hand
kefchiefs of sheer linen. crossed with
bars or stripes of Il heavier linen and
embroidered with Il heavy white mono
gram may cost rs much as IS apiece
They DO not wear well and soon become
crumpled and soiled looking But they
are regarded as the finest Thing in hand
kerchiefS for men.
Should men use scents ON hnndker-
chiefs That question would never he
asked abroad. There men use perfume
with no misgivings as to whether or not
il is good taste.
New York men are very Likely to use
perfume i'll moderation, but it is not to
be denied that it is better style not to.
The man who hahtually puts scent on
handkerchief is likely to become noted
for this pecuiarity.-New York sun
