The conditions governing the competition

This Is the Season of the Song Booster.

The other day at rehearsal one boos-
ter tried TO call to task young woman
from Chicago, who persisted in saying
glass for glass and eyether for either.
Cut that Cockney gag out!'' shouted
the booster sternly. You're not in the
West now See? II you don't, to the
tall timbers for yours
The young woman repeated the Of
tense and the booster went at her with
more emphasis than before.

either. See? Just plain English
You're the limit and II had my way

those woven of broad and striking
stripes made diagona1ly of the silk,
are considered very good style.
Thousands of these suits are some

made for several seasons and they are
rather shorter than those for more for
NAL dress and have the bottoms rolled
up and pressed fat with the trouser
legs. They are well hung and do not
break at the knees or instep mark
of good designing and fitting.
Flannels of a heavier weight than
what are being worn now will be much
in vogue and in this material stripes
will predominatc. especially slightly in
distinct stripes woven rather wide
apart. A dark blue showing a white
stripe, brown with tan stripe, black
striped with blue or white. any of these
have the stamp of approval from the
best tailors and cannot fail to make
satisfactory fall and winter suits.

pearls, with a delicate rim of gold on
studs and buttons. In his waistcoats
the smart man indulges his taste for
handsome materials with which to vary
his plain white ones. White honeycomb
silk. basket weaves or any heavy and
beautiful silk in pearl white or a
pearl gray are few of the things
which the elegant man chooses to dec
crate with his best set OF evening but
tons.
AS the dinner coat is never worn by
Englishmen, we must look to our own
tailors for fashion notes on this Ameri-
can production. There are to be very
few changes, though In general the
style will follow the lines already men
toned in regard to coats for other oc-
casions. with the differences usually
observed between. wholly informal and
semi formal dress.

While the lines of all coats follow the
figure much more closely than they did
formerly these garments fit easily and
comfortably. They curve In at the sides
and back at the waist and spring over
the hips only as much as is necessary.
The vent is in the center of the back
and is not made to button together.
Conventional evening dress follows
the same rule Of fitting the figure close
ly, and the shoulders have the new
droop. There. is very little change to
remark in this department of mans
attire Lapels are long and slope
gracefully from the notched collar and
they are faced with black silk. Ties
are shorter and are tied tighter than
they were last season. while waistcoats
are as elegant as ever and are adorned
either with three or six fancy buttons.

coat and is disclosed at the neck for
quite distance and below the fasten-
ing OF the coat A straight collar and
a narrow black silk cravat tied in a
small knot are the correct adjuncts of
this costume. AS with the old-time
frock coat, light gray-striped trous-
ers are worn with its successor, and
heavy gray or yellow suede walking
gloves. a silk hat and stick are the
finishing details of London's newest
afternoon costume
Brown will be a favorite color in
the realm of mems fashions, just as it
has been in that of the other sex.
though IL would be unfair to say that
the autumn choice has been Influenced
in any way by the particularly fetch
ing brown creations seen on the pret-
tiest summer women. For lounge and
its darker shades has always been
more or less OF a standby, but it is
to enjoy an unprecedented run very
shortly after a season in which the
majority Of men seemed to be addicted
to gray. Dull pIaids, stripes and mix
lures, as well as invisible effects in all
three designs. will furnish the material
to choose from in browns.
London offers two models for these
suits-a two-button and three button
coat Both are supplied with extra
long collars and lapelN They fasten
with a single row of buttons, and in
the case of the two-button style the
The three-button style comes straight
down the front. and is square across
the bottom, with a very slight round
ing of the corners Of the fronts, which,
however, meet all the way down from
the top button. Pocket flaps are a
feature OF these new coats, and the
number depends on individual taste.
The two-button coat sometimes has
two side pockets, while it's rival has
an extra one above the right pocket
Cuffs there must be if a man makes
any pretense Of keeping up with the
times. Every business or lounge suit
has its natty cuffs, scarcely more than
two inches wide and rounded at the
corners. Three buttons are put on the
sleeves, the first one fastening through
an end of the cuff.
With a coat cut as low as either
one of these models the waistcoat
must be high enough to show two
inches or more above the opening of
the coat. This may be made to match
the coat and trousers. or it may be of
contrasting material and color One
of the smartest combinations from the
hands of a Bond-street tailor is the
black and white mixture which gives
a gray effect to the suit illustrated
and which will be worn by Frank
Dekum in the forthcoming production
OF The House Of Mirth." The coat
and trousers are of the mixture and
the waistcoat is of fawn color cloth,
with pearl buttons to match. This
combination OF gray and fawn is very
modish at present In mems haber-
dashery.

NJ forth IN his newest sartorial
wv creation he is going to make
even the usually unobservant
person notice that several radical
changes have introduced themselves in
the attire worn by fashionable repre-
sentatives OF the sterner sex
And above all he is going to be the
recipient Of good deal Of praise for
having returned once more TO the con
servative keynote in mems wearing ap-
parel The general effect he will pre-

matter how much some Americans may
disparage English fashions for men, it
must be admitted that usually what
ever we have that is new has its origin
IN the great city OF Albion. What Paris
IS to the fashion world Of women Lon
don is to the world of men, Though
just as American dressmakers modify
and improve upon the models sent
over from the other side our tailors
adopt and change English notions to
suit American tastes and requirements.
With Joy let it be said that there will
be little or no exaggeration in the fig
ure OF this seasons man of fashion.

designer Of mems clothing. In addition
to these radical changes in general out
line there are dozens OF little aItera-
tions and novelties introduced in the
various departments OF mems dress
which only the fastidious will adopt at
once.
One OF the most important differ

fall weddings occur and when after
noon teas in town are again in full

Ills is the time when the song
booster is busy. Almost every
music publishing house In Tin
Pan alley employs a song
booster. 1t is his duty to attend re-
hearsals and see that the firms songs
are. presented to best advantage by the
chorus girls. says the New York Sun.
The booster is much at home with
the cheap travelling burlesque compa-
nies. He is an indefatigable worker,
last to. leave 1t. He is accompanied by
a pianist. who ceases playing only
when it is time to eat.
The task of training the choruses to
sing the song effectively and to per-
form the dance that accompanies It
presents difficulties The women are
employed through vaudeville agencies,
enced- They are expected to be
shapely; that's all. There are at least
seventy-five troupes touring the United
States and the demand for experienced
chorus girls exceeds the supply.
After greeting the chorus with a
genial Good morning" the booster be-
gins operations with the following
opening remarks:
Get busy. girls Look and act as if
you were educated"
Then the girls are placed In line of
six each and made to stand as erect
as possible. The prettiest and most ex-
perienced are stationed at the head of
the lines. They act as leaders.
The booster goes through couple
of simple steps and then urges the
girls to repeat what he has shown
them This is gone over dozen times,
or until the girls have some idea of the
steps.
Then he hands them, typewritten
COMES of the words of the song and
they repeat the lyrics, while the pianist
plays the music. Most of the women
