IhiE summer, the youth in his fal,

as ever. Everything, say the clothiers
and haberdashers, will be emnhss;za5

In the way of clothes, the prevail
ing shades in suits will be olives
sort of modification Of dark green and
browns. with a few grays. The old
blue clothes, on which a really well.
dressed man can never go wrong, will
as always be worn.
Inc colors of clothes this fall win
not be greatly diversified. The brown
clothes and the notifications of the
oliVe green will be the ruling shades.
though, and the freakish colors OF
the summer garments will partly dis.
appear. For instance, nobody who
considers himself will dressed would
wear the smoke-colored shades OF the
summer Of the elephant-hide tint
that proved SO popular at the begin
ming OF the season.
The coats this fall and winter will,
be an inch or two longer than the
summer pattern and will be for the
most part Of the single-breasted nat
tern. Many Of the shops will show
single-breasted coat with two buttons.
although the old three button is the
popular standard.
Trousers will be full peg and he.
cause Of the prevalence Of fancy hosi-
cry, most trousers will come with cuffs.
AS was the custom inaugurated at
the beginning of the summer. trousers
will probably be hitched up a few
inches to allow for a glimpse of bright
stockings.
Vests will be made on the ordinarv
style seen in the last two seasons.
They will be made without collars and
Will not be especially noticeable.
There will appear on the streets,
though, quite a number of freak"
garments as If the tailor went as far
as he liked. One shop has to show a
suit OF brown with pear buttons at
tached. and this. it is predicted. will
prove popular.
Another thing about smart su,ts
this fall is the style Of carving a
handkerchief in the breast pocket OF
the coat. At the same shop hand
kerchiefs to match go with each spit
and are sewn to the inside of ths
pocket.
Overcoats will be worn largely in
the tourist fabric-the same stuff that
the stage Enslishman always wears.
Fancy fabrics will be the choice, ac-
cording to the coming displays. Ali
overcoats will be made in full back !.
and three-quarters length. The pad
docks so popular two winters ago are
not being looked upon with favor. and
the use Of the light top coat is falling
off.
Shirts will be bit quieter than the
summer styles. The prevailing rage .
will be tans and corn-color, with. Of
course. the variations Of blue that will
always be worn. All shirts this sea.
son-that is. in the really smart
shades-are coming with cuffs at.
tached. The bosoms will be stiff or
pleated.
Stockings will be more fancy and a
greater number Of bewildering pat
terms and colors will be shown. The
solid colors SO popular this summer
will also be worn. but there will be a
greater presence Of hosiery with fan
cy figures on solid color backgrounds.
Changing but little, the shoes worn
this winter will include both tan and
black. although black shoes seem t,
be in little more profusion.
All fall soft hats Of every color
and design will be worn. 1t is pre-
d.cted that the soft hat. with all its
vagaries Of shape. will come back into
public favor. The colors will be
pearl. gray. browns and modes, but
there Will be no more bands contrast
Ing with the color Of the hat.
The crown peaked in the cowboy
style will also be worn, even though
1t Is a revival Of the Spanish-war
times. The brim Of this hat and Of
the telescoped hats will be about two
and three-quarter inches wide. The
hat style this fall includes everything.
Wear your soft hat any way YOU like
1t and you will be in the fashion.
