MEMS STYLES

THE color of the moment Is green
and suits of beautiful dark green
. cloths, varying in tone from deep
Lincoln" to the deeper olive brown, are
being displayed on all sides. Certain
dark browns and tans still obtain, not
the lighter shades which were so pOpu-
lar last summer, but soft warm shades
for the cold days of fall. are also in
evidence. These, with the staple blues
and blacks and the new stone grey, form
the fall offerings in most of the shops
at the present time As in the coats fol-
lowing the English models, the coats
shown in the clothing shops are a trifie
shorter than formerly, but it is doubt
full if any of the ready for r-service gar
ments will be as full in the skirt as
those which are made to order"
1t is, perhaps, necessary to remind the
prospective purchaser of fall clothes
that the wisdom of acquiring suit
made of the high color cloths of the
moment is questionable, if one pro-
poses to buy but single suit. For
daily wear it is always wiser to have
something inconspicuous. Stick to one
of the staple cOlors that are tried and
true" Greens. browns and stone greys
are delightful ''for change" but if
there isn't going to be a change, it is
wiser to profit by experience" and get
a blue, black or an inconspicuous grey.
1t is better taste, and the dictates Of
good taste cannot be ignored with i'm
punity.
There is reason to suppose that double
breasted suits will be popular this fall
with the "Cognoscenti.' as there are
decided indications of reaction from
the prevailing singlebreasted lounge
suit that has held sway during the tor
rid months. The men who care men
of the younger set who give good deal
of attention to their clothes. with whom
it is traditional to have their clothes
built" for them individually and who
continue to patronize my tailor" will
be seen this fall wearing their garments
cut after the prevailing English models,
the coats being decidedly shaped in at
the waist and having rather full faring
skirts. 1t will be found. however, that
the American version of these models
is less pronounced than those worn by
our British cousins, the coat in every
instance being cut to suit the physical
limitations of the wearer.
Single breasted waistcoats are worn
almost universally nowadays, and these
Are made without collars. The waist
,oats of frock coats, however. often
have a collar as being more ''dressy"
han the plain variety. The new over
oats. too. being made by the merchant |
ailors are palmer than has been usual
IF late, often with no cuffs at all or
with a plain French cuff embellished /
With but one or two buttons. A new |
model that is very striking in its sim
,licity is made without any side seams
It all-merely a seam in the back. A |
lew model being shown in England is
made like the familiar Chesterfield ex-
ept that it is double breasted 1t has
. good deal of style and has the addi-
ional advantage of being well adapted
or stormy weather without in any sense
a storm coat.-Men's Wear.

Lord Roseberry once compared his in
tellectual method to a sponge, always
ready to receive. John G. Woolley put
it more quantity: Il leave my mind
open and things get in" 1t may have
been that the breezy, progressive at
mosphere of the great young West
helped greatly to keep the spirit of the
editor referred to so long open to the
of progress. There certainly
is good deal in living in progressive
land, in progressive age. Then one must
advance, to certain extent, in spite of
himself. In "The Heart of Midlothian"
Scott makes the old philosopher put this
very well when he says to his young
charge: "Jock, when ye hae neathing
else to do, ye may be aye sticking in a
tree; it will be growing, Jock, when

!" UNTER DEN LINDEN ;
(. 4. ColIey Agrees With Attor. ney 0'Neill For Broad Street.

The following letter will be of in- terest to the taxpayers and those who would like to see beautiful Water bury:
 Waterbury, Aug 22. 1908. John o'Neill, Esq:
 My Dear John: I quite approve Of your "Unter den Linden" proposi- ton as set forth in the Democrat. But why not utilize in connection with 1t the broad thoroughfare from the Soldiers monument to Willow street? Then somewhere along the line would like to see an attractive fountain. There is something like it In Savannah, Ga, but it is not as i'm posing as this would be. Just lat present it might go if you would cali. It station approach. Yours,
 CHARLES A. COLBY.
 Aside from the personal satisfac- ton to see my idea taking root" said MT ONeill, T heartily approve of my friend Colley's suggestion, or amend ment. It would certainly be great thing for the city and would not cost so much after all. It would be great benefit to the town and would be just about as long as the Inter den Linden in Berlin. MT Colley has travelled some, been around the world l guess, and seen some fine places, and must know how fine approaches to cities are appreciated. I think the board of works ought to interest itself in the proposition without any delay"

ADMITTED GUILT
Canio Gersrdi VIII Probably
 Plead Guilty To-MorroW.

Canio Gerardi, who has been held for trial for the city court tomorrow morning before Judge Peasley, has, according to the police, admitted the charge against him, attempted crim- inal assault upon Mrs Frederick A. Tyrrell of Chestnut Hill road on Sun day evening. Last evening Gerardi was released on bail of s2,000, fur nished by Michael Guilfoile, agent for the Cudahy Packing Go. He will be defended by Attorney McEvoy.
 According to the police, Gerardi will plead guilty to the charge pre- ferred and will also further admit that he was armed at the time of the alleged and said to be admitted assault. What purpose he had in view in carrying firearms when there was no apparent reason for his doing so the police cannot say, or what he was doing with another man at pres ent unknown to the police in that lonely place they do not know either. It is therefore taken for granted that he has not been 'sweated" on these points and they are left to be devel- oped by the prosecutor in court to- morrow.
 Gerardi ran a close shave of being shot dead Had Mrs Tyrrell's re- volver been of heavier calibre than 22 and the bullet struck Gerardi ih the forehead he would not have lived to file any plea. The 22 calibre bulA let from the woman's revolver struck the man over the right temple and fattened itself against the skull. It seems the impact of the bullet did not even stun him for it was after the revolver had been emptied at him that he disarmed Mrs Tyrrell.
 If Gerardi pleads not guilty all the details of the shooting will be disclosed, and it is very likely that he will change his plea, for the com plaint is a very serious one.

 Agnes Horrigan and Mary Hor. rigan, Mary Watts and Thomas Me Evoy have returned from visit to friends in Boston.
 The health officer or sanitary iE- spector should take a look at the rear of block on Bank street be- tween North Riverside and North Leonard streets. The garbage is piled up there in such a way that 1t is an awful mess and is conducive to spreading diseases.
 St Patrick's church choir, the regular and the boys, went on an outing this morning to Stratford The car, which was a special, was decked out with green bunting and American flags, making a very pretty effect. On the fender was big ban ner with "St Patrick's Church Choir" on it. The party made plenty ot noise along the line and attracted much attention.
 Mrs William Roick of Smiths Landing. N. Y., who is visiting friends in Brooklyn, met with a paiG- full accident in front of Walkers drug store on Bank street yesterday afternoon about o'clock. She was about to hand Conductor McEnerney a s10 bill, but the wind blew 1t from her hand. The woman thinking that she would lose the money if she did not get 1t immediately became ex- cited and, losing her head. walked right of the car backwards. She was given a very bad fall. She was carried into Dr George W. Russell's office where an examination showed that the woman's left ankle had been badly fractured.
 A foreigner. Charles" by name, brought a large amount of trouble on himself this morning endeavorins to make a good fellow of himself. Walking into the saloon of Laskav- age & Marconis. near the corner of Bank and South Riverside streets, he asked everybody in the place to havo a drink. In this time Of depression when the smiles are not coming as fast as in the days of prosperity. sii accepted without much teasing. The round amounted to 45 cents, but Charles did not make a noise like nickel. When Mir MaTeonis asked for the change and none was forth coming he proceeded right away to take 45 cents worth out of Charlie's anatomy. Grabbing a rubber pipe which he had handy he walloped the good fellow a few times on the head and then threw him bodily through the door. None of Charles friends came to his assistance: they merely looked on. When the human football hit the gutter, his face went into the mud and his glasses were shattered But he pulled himself together and decided to storm the enemy. Bat his attack did not go far for Mar conis met him at the door and ad- nGnistered enough force to again send him into the gutter Charles began to whistle for assistance. bat after about ten minutes strenuous blowing he started for his home. The fight attracted many people.

The Kind of Boy He Was.

That Marshall Field of Chicago knew how to wrest victory from defeat and make stepping stones of stumbling blocks is shown by the following story told of him by friend:
 When a boy young Field went to great merchant and asked, DO you want boy2" Nobody wants boy" replied the merchant. Do you need a boy?" the boy persisted, not at all abashed. Nobody needs a boy" w;f the reply. But he would not give up. "Well, say, mister. do you have to have boy?" q think likely we do," re- piled the merchant, land I rather think we will have to have a boy just like you."
