Smart shops are showing very COM
plete lines of white flannel outing suits,
plain white serge suits and also self and
fancy striped affairs that are unusually
handsome. One is almost tempted to
consider the southern trip a necessity for
the sake OF an excuse to purchase one.
All sorts of hybrid overcoats are be-
ginning to make their appearance, it
seemingly mattering very little what
they are like, SO long as they, possess a
military collar. The result of this
fad is, in some instances, passing
strange" while in others these coats of
curious design are distinctly swagger-
The pique collar is the proper caper
now for wear with the dinner Jacket.
If possible it should be of the same pat
tern as the bosom of the shirt but even

With the full frock suit it is always
better to wear a double-breasted waist
coat as it is much more ''dressy" than a
single-breasted one, and the full frock
is the most formal garment for day wear
that we moderns have. The single
breasted waistcoat however, is the fad
OF the moment and may be worn with
perfect propriety. 1t is to be noted
however. that it should be worn with the
cutaway, according to the present mode
Some new stick pins have star sap
phires set in several shades of gold in APP
piled designs. There is also quite a
vogue for art craft jewelry, some of
which locks exceedingly smart, but this
kind of thing should anyways be chosen
with care. If it is too elaborate it is
apt to look correspondingly cheap

reaching from the collar to the bottom
of the garment. This is belted in in the
back with a wide belt about a foot long,
which is sewed fast to the ulster The
big peat above this bulges in most
strange and unusual manner, but it is a
smart coat for all that.

blue at the point of crossing.
