mate. though singie-breasted coats will also
be popular.
So far from the seashore and its multi
tude Of summer resorts the outing suit
IN tho west must also do service In
most cases as a business suit; conse-
uuently there IL a tendency toward combin-
ing the main features Of the two. Hence
the light, soft hannels are not as generally
worn here as they are in the east. popular
favor turning toward thin worsteds and
cheviots.
when on the Links,
Golfers who do not care to follow the
popular style OF the regulation plaid golf
suit will continue to wear the loosely-httng
outing coat with light flannel trousers. En-
tire suits of flannel will be worn consider
ably and will probably. before the end Of
the season. take the place to very great
extent OF the genuine golf suit. The
tendency away from the "fads" in mems
attire is marked in the case Of suitings,
and the old golf suit is likely to follow
the bicycle suit into oblivion.
Correct Thing in Caps.
| Even In caps the influence OF golf styles
is being relegated TO the rear in favor Of
the automobile type, though one Of the

combination Of the two. This is really
the very latest and II consists Of cap
modelled somewhat after the golf cap Of
former years with the addition OF ear
tabs, which. when not in use, are buttoned
| up over the top Of the cap with three but
tons The eartabs are contributions Of the
autolsts and they will be much worn by
machine drivers during the season. The
| material is an unusually fine-grained mo-
cha or simllar material.
! Corduroy caps with small visors and
large round tops after the Prince Henry
style are beginning to take the place Of
the leather caps worn for the last two or
three years.
Hats for the Men Folks.
In hats the only thing for the dressy
| youth is the new shape telescope with
| gaudy hat band. The new hat is modelled
after the style that was so popular last
year, but the crown is higher and the
brim slightly wider The most stylish shade,
| as in most other articles of masculine
wear, is pearl OF light gray. These shades
/ have the decided advantage this year OF
harmonizing with almost any color or COM
bination of colors. For quiet effect
hat band Of different shade OF the body
color or a plain black band is preferred
The combination of pearl and black will
be popular with a large majority of the
| older customers.
As in the novelty shapes, so in the staple
fedora, pearl or light gray is the only
thing In its proportions the shape OF the
fedora Of this year does not differ much
| from last year, except that II follows the
general rule that the crown is a little
higher in proportion to the width Of the
brim. The light body Of the hat is set of
we'll with black hat band.
Bands Make the Hat.
The fancy hat band which made its de-
but last season bids fair to be one Of the
most popular Of the recent innovations in
mems dress Il is especially sought after
by the youth whose mind is bent largely
on securing the most nobby effects in
! clothing The band comes separately from
! the hat and one of its advantages Is It can
be changed during the season. giving the
wearer practically a new hat. The bands
retail at most of the stores for fifty cents
and are very easily attached to the hats.
The manufacturers seem to have
searched through the markets for the
brightest and gaudiest Of colors when they
selected the material for the bands. They
may be found in all colors. hues and
shades and the figuring is not limited at

and stripes narrow and wide, so that the
most fastidious can surely nnd something
to please his sense OF color and design in
the various Varieties on exhibition.
Underwear is GRudy.
The more or less saudy tendency Of
mems clothing crops out even in under
wear in which bright colors are taking
the place OF the quiet effects of former
years Pink, blue. lavender and even pur-
pie are some of the startling shades which
are displayed in the show windows.
Back in the effete east they are SPRING
ing something new in underwear in the
shape OF a combination between the old
style under garments and paJamas. The
shirt Is built like coat and goes on like
one instead OF being drawn on over the
head. The pants are only knee length
and those who have tried them profess
they are great Improvement over the
old fashioned garment. They are said TO
be cooler in summer than the old kind and
do not roll up around the edges and bag
| at the knees like the longer kind.
So far the fashion has not struck Omaha
men very hard and dealers report very
light sales. n heavier run is predicted,
however. during the hot months, when It
is asserted the true value OF the new
! wrinkle will be manifest to everyone.
