dress are wearing these suits this fall with
the waistcoat made Of the same goods.
There has been a revulsion against the
fancy waistcoat, which has been terribly
overdone and il now accessible to persons
Of the most limited means. Nobody seems
too poor to AFFORD q fancy waietcoat. Thu
coats are still cut 30 as to show part OF the
waistcoat, but il is nevertheless the best
form now to wear the waistcoat OF the
same material "a the suit. Doubtless a
brief respite from the fancy waistcoat in
the fall months will reconcile well dressed
men to wearing them again when they are
dressing for winter.
For this season OF the year a neglige
shirt is just as appropriate as in winter.
They are still made with plaits and they
still have the soft turn back cCh IL they are
made in accordance with the best style.
The complaint against this style is that the
cuffs soil quickly! since they are not starched
and wear out where they are turned over.
This objection to them holds good, but the
fact that they wear out need not be Consid-
cred too great a fault. White cuffs are
alw ays as appropriate as those made OF the
material Of the shirt, and may be put on at
any time.
The high standing collar, turned over.
remains appropriate for this season Of the
year. There was an attempt last spring
to have the move collar not meet In
front. but stand open from the bottom.
This failed, al the styles for the autumn
show. The turnover standing collar is
closed along it's whole length. The success
that comes to a firm which turns out a
snart and comfortable collar is shown by
the experience OF an uptown h~aberdasher
Four years ago he invented a collar which
combines smartness with every other ad-
vantage as no other collar does. He sells
to-day as many Of those collars as he ever
did, and they are everywhere regarded by
well dressed men as the smartest collar
made in this country. They are. OF course,
modelled on an English original
Nothing is more modish for the hall
season than tan shoes. which are smartest
when they rave been darkened and look as
IL thew had been well worn, although there
must be no suggestion OF shabbiness. The
low shoes Of this kim may be worn with
tan spats. and they look very well. Buttons
on the shoes should be avoided. The day
for white spats is passed. and even the tan
! shoes with white canvas tops look out OF
season in town. They are still permissible
on warm days in the country. Patent
feathers have no place in the present sched-
ule Of shoes except when pumps are worn
with the dinner coat at night. Biscuit
colore dogskin are proper gloves. The
yellow channels is gone forever out OF the
toilet OF the well dressed man.

Changes the Automobile Has Effected In
Upper Broadway.
Upper Broadway, between Forty-second
street and Seventy-second street, has been
named Garage row by the automobilists.
In the last two years automobile garages
nave strung up there at a great rate.
Most Of the ground which the garages
now occdpy was vacant lots q couple OF
wears ago, some with squatters' shanties
on them. Then one automobile manu-
~facturer erected a temporary garage above
Fifty ninth street. 1t was a hit from the
start and other manufacturers followed
suit and erected garages.
At first the garages were only temporary
| affairs, the majority being only two stories
high. As business increased substantial
buildings took the place Of the temporary
ones.
Each builder tried to outdo his rivals
in the appearance OF his garage, with the
result that some OF the garages resemble
| private dwellings more closely than business
buildings. .
When all Of the available vacant ground
was utilized the manufacturers were forced
to look elsewhere. Some OF them bought
up buildings which were being used Tor
| other branches Of business and Transformed
them into garages. One Of them trans
formed a livery stable into a garage, while
another purchased q fat house, and after
o~verhauling the entire lower part turned
il into a garage.
AT that time the garage line extended
north only TO Sixty-sixth street. To-day
garages are being erected all the way up
Broadway. 0ne company rs building at
Seventieth street and Broadway.
Most Of the garages are four OF Ave stories
high, with a deep cellar for storing gasolene
and oil, where electric sparks OF FIRE can't
get at them. The buildings are all Of fire.
proof construction, with steel frames and
concrete floors.
In some OF the streets on that part Of
Broadway there is SO much auto trafic
through them daily that the asphalt h
stained a dark brown from the oil and
grease which drip from the machines.

Regarding Appointments.

Under the practice which has heretofore
prevailed, teachers who were appointed
after the 1st day of July in any fiscal
year and before the beginning of the school
year, and whose services began with the
commencement of the school year, were
paid in ten installments, beginning on
the LIST day of September. If their
services were continuous during the
school year they received respectively
the full amount of the salaries ap-
proprated. The teachers who were
promoted between July l of any year and
the beginning of the school year, and whose
services began with the school year, were
paid in like manner. in ten installments.
Teachers who resigned, were dismissed or
dropped from the rolls, and female teachers
whose situations were vacated through
marriage, between July l and the beginning
of the school year, received no pay for the
time intervening between the LIST day of
July and the dates on which they were re-
spectively separated from the service, nor
were any payments made to the legal
representatives of teachers who died be-
tween July l and the beginning of the
school year.
