FASHIONS FOR MEN

The newest negligee shirts are mad.
| Of line silk in pale yellow, heliotrope M.
pale blue. The fabric, which is ver-
sheer. is crossed by half-inch white SAT-.
stripes at intervals of about al inn.
and a quarter, the space between helm,
embellished with flower chain in whit,
They are made up with double Frtua
cuffs two of the white satin sfriI.
being included in each cuff.
| Many of the new shirtings have don
| BILE rows of pin stripes crossing the M
| terials at wide intervals, the space h..
tween being filled with dots or small
| figure designs in contrasting or sister rnr
ors. As some of these new shirtiu.s
suggest yeritable plague of flies. tie
designs are not as successful a. they
| might be.
| New blue shirtings have an all-oy,..
pattern like a trellis, which crosses f.,'.
conventional stripes of the fabric ami
makes n pleasing variation from the, now
ubiquitous striped effect, although when
! the shirts are made up the appearaI,..
is that of the familiar type which moth
/ ing as yet seems to have entirely sun-
planted IN popular favor.
| Monograms are embroidered on tl.

are. however surrounded by an embrofi-
cred square of the same shade the spara
between the square and the monogra,.
proper being filed in with hundreds ,r
| fine French knots.
Just as the moment there is revival
of canary colors in scarfs. Some OF the
shops are showing them in knitted silk
patterns of very elaborate char9cf,r
| 10 in, solid xrp1IoxRr al.
| horizontal stripes of pale blue.
A number of the men at the opera ar,.
wearing white gloves with black stitch
ing. The stitching, however is NOT
very wide, but it Is sufficiently striku.
| for all that. These gloves are remark
ably smart looking, and in spite of the
fact that they are not by any means
universally worn they look we'll and the
chaps having courage enough to don
them have quite distinguished air.
The men who have their dress sLirrs
made in England are having the boSoms
made to fasten with Il single stud This
| is apt to be an deliberately jewelcd af-
fair. Apropos it is interesting to note
that King Edward, who wears a single
jewel in his shirt front, does not wear
pearls with full dress, it being said thar
his majesty considers the pearl 4 vom-
ans stone and one that should only he
worn by the fair sex on formal occa-
sions. The King, however, has been
known to wear a pearl stick pin with his
frock coat.-Fairchild's Magazine.
Many of the shops are showing spring
scarfs of satin the patterns being mar
row stripes in sister tones. StrjprI
socks in sister tones are also shown to
| accompany these scarfs and some Of fb,.
stores have shirts also with stripes of

tone effects as those in the scarfs and
socks.
Flannel shirts of material having mar
row satin stripes crossing it Mt stated in
tervals are made up with bosoms hav-
ing Il number of box pleats on either
side of the front opening.
A new shirt is made of green madras
having Il basket weave. 1t is of very
| light green and has a dark green stripe
on the edge of the center pleat and also
on the edges of the cuffs.
Some of the spring scarfs are exceed
ingly narrow, long slim strawberries
models such as were worn by few men
| last summer, but which will probably he
more universally in vogue this spring
| AS the tendency is toward the narrower
scarf it is now possible to get the most
wonderful bargains in high class cravatS
which have a decided shoulder and
| which, i'll consequence, do not tie well
when they are worn with the fold col
lars of the moment AS these, however.
are better adapted for wear with the
wing collars than are the narrower ones
as the wing collars will certainly be-
in favor for early spring wear and for
the following fall season, it is a good
time to lay in stock of these scarfS
for cool days. They are, the majority

De Joinvile scarfs of rather sheer
material and having a heavy selvcdge
are being worn now as four-in-hands.
| They tie into a small knot and look rc-
markably swagger with the close looking
| fold collar now in vogue.-Fairchilds
Magazine.
A new blue shirt is crossed by white
vertical stripes, in the center of which
