the silk neckties made to be knotted in o.,

haberdashers has put ON the market
walstcoats of exactly the same maternal
as the ties, which of course look Identical
with the socks.
There is tendency to restrict summer.
neckwear to rather conservative tones
There is none of the tropical sunset af
tects which sometimes seem to be Pc
garded as indispensable for summer. The
knitted silk ties seem to be looked mon
now as better suited to winter than +,
summer wear. Some of them are shown
in solid colorS and with such novelties i'm
the weave as squares and diamonds
Few new designs in the stripes are Oh
the market.
Light Brocades Popular.
Some of the Fifth avenue shops are
showing q new use of an old material
in the summer brocade. There are ties
in exact imitation of the heavy brocades
worn III 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.
The designs are usually all over and in
the conventional patterns of brocade.
They are rather better suited TO middle
aged men than to young men, who stick
to the silk knit ties of very decided
colors, to the university ties and to the
foulards, which are this summer import
ed in especially attractive combinations
The smartest of these have the popular
old sporting diamond on a ground Of
contrasting tint Sometimes on a purplr
ground the diamond will be in mauye
or i'll 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 JoinYille or plaStron. The last
use of them is rare, however, and they
must be ordered in this style, which is
very smart for coaching.
Color Schemes Striking.
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 success
fully initiated 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 brilliancy
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 distinction of these ties that even
this combination was not loud.
There are much simpler patterns. such
as magneta-one of the most usual
shades and very pretty and uncOm-
mon tint as the English manufacturers
turn it out-with brown, with dark green
and with dark purple, and then there are
such combinations as black, white and
purple, which might almost pass for half
mourning if such a thing were not OF
the past There are very effective com
binations 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 in Variety.
Crepe ties come in greater variety than
ever before and they are destined 10 be
more popular. They may De found in
the japanese exporters windows along
Fifth avenue, sometimes finished with
bits of embroidery that few men would
ever want TO wear Then they are IN
the hosiery shops lying alongside the
socks they exactly match in tint Then
they are in the haberdashers'. not only
made up into four-in-hands but also iu
the larger shapes that have perhaps one
disadvantage that the others do not pos
sess. They must be tied very tightly to
keep in place, and one result Of that
necessity is that they wear very short
time. 1t takes only a few tight pulls
to get them into hopeless creases.
The four-in-hands are lined and that
makes the strain on the Iie less, al
though even in this form the poor wear
ing quality of the crepe tie is its wurs,
defect. The ties come in very effecrive
shades, such as dark blue purple AMI
green. The puppies ere particularly rlcn
in shades, ranging from mulberry to rhe
deepest purple.
As a proof of their unsatisfactory
wearing qualities it might be said that
