ecru, with tiny green velvet centers,
Pale yellow silk is gathered into
stoles, which escape from beneath
the Iace-decorated vests and hang
their tasseled ends over the skirt. A
high girdle in broadcloth points
with strappings of velvet and braid
defines the waist.
A princess model of light golden
brown is beautifully trimmed in
French embroidery of silk pipings
and ,.bbon, done in the same shade
as the cloth, with velvet folds of a
darker hue. The tiny bolero has
vests fronts of Chinese embroidery
in black and gold on white satin, to
give the finishing touches Of smart.
IesS.
Nearly all the dress frocks carry
mote of black, usually in the belt
or collar. Girdles of soft black
mousseline of Liberty have a butter
fly bow of the top of the back, with
ends hanging long on the skirt.
Lots of the windows are showing
the latest styles of what men must
wear" this season and the tendency
is towards the gaudy. No color
seems to be too loud or too gay.
A variety of cravat sare shown.
One of the most popular of these col
ors is crushed raspberry made in
tie knit ties so popular now. 1t is
one of the loosely woven kind with
+ thicker silk thread than is usually
employed. These same ties come in
brown, deep green and even purple
ir spite of the extent to which that
shade for men was overdone several
jears ago.
Tie knit tie holds its supremacy as
the fashionable article for mems wear.
They come in the narrow four in
hand and are as expensive as they
ever were, although there are imita-
tions to be had at half the price. Some
of these knit ties sell for SO.
There has been a revolution against
the fancy waistcoat, which has been
so Cverdone and is now accessible
to persons of the most limited means.
Nobody seems too poor to afford a
fancy waistcoat. The coats are still
cut so as to sho wpart of the waist
coat, but it is nevertheless the. best
form now to wear the waistcoat of
the same material as the suit.
For this season of the year negli-
rec shirt is just as appropriate as in
winter. They are still made with
plait. and they still have the soft turn
back cuff if they are made in
accordance with the best style.
The high standing collar, turned
ov~i, still remains appropriate for
this season of the year.
Nothing Is more modish for this
season than tan shoes, which are
smartest when darkened and look as
if they had been well worn, although
th-;' must be no suggestion of shah
biness.
Patent feathers have no place in
the present style of evening shoes
except when pumps are worn with
the evening shoes at night. Biscuit
colored dog skin are the proper
gltr res for gentlemen.
Since the essentials of evening dress
allow little room for exercising per.
sonal taste, one must perforce look
to the incidentals for anything really
new.
A new idea is to wear a white shirt
with solitaire pearl stud and a
wa.stcoat with a single center button
also pearl. OF course, there are invis
ible inside buttons on the waistcoat
to keep ii from bulging and creasing
Co'or> studs and sleeve links never
accompany formal evening dress.
lonly pearl or moonstones are il
good form. With the Tuxedo suit
however, which is wholly informal
onc may wear any of a variety o
precious and semi-precious stones.
