This is assuredly the summer of the
perfect hatcher. He may be more
harmonious this year than he ever was
before. 1t Is possible for him not only
to have the color of his shirt, his socks,
his handkerchief and his tie match, but
also to have them Identical in material.
For instance, the socks with light
stripes on a darker ground which are In
vogue this summer are exactly copied
In the silk neckties made to be knotted
In a four-in-hand. Thus the perfect
hatcher may enjoy the pleasure of maxi
ing the ignorant believe that he has a
piece of his sock tied around his neck.
In addition, one of the haberdashers has
put on the market waistcoats which are
of exactly the same material as the ties,
and of course look identical with the
socks.
There is a tendency to restrict summer
neckwear tc rather conservative tones.
There is none of the tropical sunset eff
fects which sometimes seem to be re-
Earded as indispensable for summer. The
knitted silk ties seem to be looked upon
now as better suited to winter thar to
summer wear. Some Of them are shown
in solid colors and with such novelties
In the weave as squares and diamonds.
Few new designs in the stripes are on
the market.
summer BrocRde Ties.
Some of the shops are showing what
is a new use of an old material in the
summer brocades worn in winter, but
they are of very light material. They
come in pastel shades most frequently
and are to be found in pale grays, blues
and hard mauves

They are rather better suited to middle
aged men than 10 young rNoH. who tick
TO the silk knit ties of very decided eolOrs
to the university ties ana - ,.,e Iu~.~4us,
which are this summer imported in espe-
cislly attractive combinations.
The smartest OF these have the popu-
lar old sporting diamond on a ground
of contrasting tint. Sometimes on a pur-
pie ground the diamond will be in mauve
or IN green on a dark blue ground or in
brown on bright red-all making very
pretty and sporty combinations. They
come in the four-in-hand shape and in
the broader scarfs to be tied in the same
way and are occasionally made up in the
De Joinville or plastron. The last use
oc them is rare, however, and they must
be ordered in this style, which is very
smart for coaching.
There have never been more striking
combinations of color than are to be seen
this year in the university ties, as they
are called. They are not cheap, although
they cost less as a rule than the knit silk,
and they are never very successfully imi-
tated in the cheaper neckwear
Some of these ties have this year as
many as six colors entering into their
patterns and In spite OF the b~rillIancy
that such combinations produce there is
nothing loud about them. One of these
scarfs was composed of stripes Of ma
genta, dark blue, black, silver gray. white
and dark green. 1t is a proof of the in
nate distinction Of those ties that even this
combination did not look loud.
Some Simple Patterns.
There are much simpler patterns, such
as magenta-one of the most usual shades
and a very pretty and uncommon tint
with brown, with dark green and with dark
purple, and then there are such comblna-
lions as black. white and purple, which
might almost pass for half mourning II
such a thing were not of the past. There
are very effective combinations OF such
colors as green and brown and brown and
red. They come only in the four-in-hand
shape and one of their best qualities is
their durability.
Crepe ties come in greater variety than
ever before and hey are destined 10 be
more popular. They are in the hosiery
shops lying alongside the socks they ex-
actly match in tint. Then they are in the
haberdashers'. not only made up into four
ln-hands. but also in the larger shapes
that have perhaps one disadvantage that
the others do not possess. They must be
tied very tightly 70 keep In place. and
