They are putting all mankind into stripes thls season, the men who makes
 the styles, but the stripes are arranged to run up and down instead of the style affected at Wethersfeld. But there is such wide variety of stripes, from the fine military stripe to the broad herringbone weave stripe effect, that in. dividual taste has as broad choice in this regard as the matter of color. Fall suits sport the pleasing shades of brown brown with plenty of red in it-warm shades they are Then there are stone grays, smoke grays, leaden grays, London fog grays and just grays. And there are blues too, mostly darky and striped, of course. The new stripes present a number of new ideas. Coat lapels are long and rolling; pock- cts show various angles of slant; cuffs come in numerous fanciful forms, and buttons are used more freely than ever before, on cuffs and pockets. The styles are smart, as shown by Melgs & Co.,, to whom we are indebted for information regarding mems styles.
 While at Meigs & Co.'S store the re- porter noticed a splendid line of Fall suits at the popular prices. and the salesmen report that business has started up briskly in Fall suits. Ger t4inly Meigs & Co. never have shown such variety of colors and styles in mems suits as they show this season. The show is well worth seeing.
