white silk handkerchiefs with plain

The matching of dress accessories
still continues to be popular n the
fad of having scarf, handkerchief and
hose of one color seems to be on the
increase. During the summer the belt
also matched in color the other arti-
Giles noted above, one manufacturer
offering as a combination scarf, hand
kerchief, socks and belt, the latter
being made of silk to match the hand
kerchief and scarf. The cravat, hand
kerchief and hosiery combination,
however, is the one that meets with
popular approval.
Neckwear.
Pastel shades of French origin COM
mand much notice among the autumn
colorings in scarfs. This is doubtless
due to the fact that like tints govern
in shirtings this season. Gray, gray
and-black, white stripes and figures
upon black backgrounds n other
subdued mixtures intended to accom-
pany gray and shepherds plaid suits
are being offered by the best mani
~facturers. The tendency in scarfings
of quality is to avoid colorings and
patterns which are too pronounced
and too easy Of reproduction in low
and medium-priced goods. Plain color
ings having self patterns are con
spicuous among the favored designs.
Moire treatments, as foretold last
month, are very we'll regarded. Pur-
pie and its offshoots continue to be
approved. Altogether, the novelty of
autumn scarfngs lies rather in the
patterns than in the colorings. The
weavers frankly admit that they have
virtually exhausted the possibilities in
/ color blending. Hence the freshness
and diversity of the lines of the new
season must depend on the %quaintness
and originality of the figures and de-
signs.
Pearl gray, long the accepted color
for ascots, will have to contend this
