would seem to owe their inspiration ia
various phases of nature. Fruits ANA
flowers figure very largely in the designs
now, as do all sorts of Towering plants
and vines. The newest scarfs Of tIis
type show another phase of nature in
their design. They have round balls If
color suggesting suns crossed by hees1
clouds. As the majority of these scarfs
are made of gray broeade, the cloud Of
feet is perfectly apparent. One had red
''suns," while dark blues and browns
also appear in some of the patterns.
One shop is showing shirts having lit.
tie round holes cut at stated intervals in
the alternate pleats. each hole being
backed" with fabric of another color
but matching the buttons. which are in
each instance of contrasting color TO-
the body of the shirt The edges of
the holes are embroidered in fancy but.
tonhole stitch.

A great many men are wearing black
satin waistcoats with their full dress
coats this winter. The opening is a mod
fled q and they button with either three
four or in some instances, five buttons
These buttons are very elaborate and are
made of moonstones or mother of pearl
and real pearl. Others are made Of
mother of pearl with diamonds set in the
midst of them and some gold buttons
are seen. For the most part these satin
waistcoats are made without collars
Some have collars, however, and one was
seen with the collar and the edges If
the garment faced with serpentine silk
braid.
The silk scarf which has taken the
place of the muffier for evening wear
now comes not only in white and black
designs but also in colors. One shop is
showing these scarfs made of orange
silk, while another is showing various
patterns iii gray silk.
In the fashionable russell boots the
lacings are put through a double row
of eyelets which extend all the way uD
the front of the shoe. The usual hooks,
which are so apt to wear out the trou-
sers. are no longer used. This, however
is a revival, not new style.
Holiday scarfs are made of ottoman
ground silk in crimson. myrtle and purple
and are decorated with irregular art
spots of applied silk velvet in ombra
stripes in black and white or blue and
white.
A new brown cheviot overcoat is made
with Il dark brown velvet collar and has

Pale tan suede gloves for formal day
wear have heavy brown stitching but
the gloves with the stitching of sell
color are more generally worn.
For the past month Il steamer rug has
been one of the most necessary of mans
possessions. Rugs have been very mHth
in evidence at the football games and are
always worth while as there are many
uses to which they may be put, both
indoors and out
The tabs of the wing collars seem to
be growing smaller and smaller as the
season progresses and these foreign
collars are being worn with the most
enormous scarfs by very exclusively
CARRIED men. These collars, however
are to be found, as yet, only in the most
high priced shops as the models are
thought by many to be little more than
a fad and not likely TO be adopted by
the majority of men.-Fairchilds Maya
