The Well Dressed Man.

The well dressed man OF today fo!-
lows the fashion in about the same
manner as his better-half. To be in
the height of fashion he must follow
the details. look into the small things
and pay particular attention 10 the
cut of his clothes.
As was the case last year. there
will be a great deal of gray worn by
men who wear good clothes. ms
gray is in mixtures and looks well
on most men who lean toward the
rougher fabrics this season. Browns
have also made their appearance IN
great numbers and will be much worn
English fashions are losing pres
tige in this country, especially amons
the younger men; but many OF the
older men will adopt the KING s
Mourning" colors. Chantecler mover
ties have had their day and will not
be much worn
The fall and early winter modes
in overcoats show only slight changes
from last year. The Overcoats are
probably a little shorter. but the rap
RIGS are the same soft, finished ones.
The cutaway coat is one OF the ne"
varieties OF the season. In some o.
those garments are noticed silk-braid
edges and cuffs. This silk braid h
also on the seams of the trousers.
Crocheted and knitted ties are hav-
ing their day with the discrlmlnatihE
dressers. These come in all sorts o.
fancy designs, many OF them very
nretty and attractive when worn with
the fancy shirts. All patterns in neck
wear hold TO the loud" patterns, ana
many of them are Of the lear OF
feather variety. They are in all
shades of the rainbow. The fourth
hand ties hold their supremacy over
all others, as they have in other sea
sons. The collars being close-htting
the ties are Just wide enough 10 ac-
commodate the knot.
The fall and winter shirts are oniv
slightly changed as to fabrics ana
weayes. The bold oOlors predomln-
ate. and stripes and dots make the
Garments quite attractive. Wlde
stripes are decorated with swivel de-
signs. flowers. leaves. vines etc biue'
gray. tan, white and black will be the
most worn. -,
There is very little new in the line
of mems fancy vests 1t seems pos
sible. though scarcely probable, that
they will return to the double-oreast
ed STYLE. There is little change IN
rho glove styles, and those best Sc
lected are in harmony with the tone
of the overcoat. The button enects
are in preference over the clasp va
riety. Browns and grays will be the
most worn.
