FALL AND WINTER STYLES
ARE TO BE CONSERVATIVE
BROWNS, TANs AND oRAYs WILL
BE POPULAR FOR MEN.
Shapes in Mems Clothes to Be Less
Athletic Than at Present.


Clothing merchants who have re-
turned from their purchasing trips
bring back the glad tidings that styles
for the fan and winter 1911-1912 are
To be conservative, and without radi-
cal changes from those now in vogue.
Patterns i'm mems clothes will be sub
dued effects in browns, tans and grays,
and women's clothes, though made of
rich, heavy materials, will be of bright
colored stuffs, richly faced with har-
monious Innings. The shapes in mems
suits will be less artistic, and the close
cut styles. copied from the European
models, will be followed. The trousers
will be narrower, without pegs, and the
coats will be almost entirely without
padding. They will be three buttoned,
principally, and with high set lapels.
The coats will be slightly fitted, the
lines drawing in sufficiently to add
grace to the garments.
The shapes in women's garments will
be practically what they are now. the
curveless figure and narrow skirt being
the rule. The principal feature in long
coats will be the use of heavy. doubled
faced materials. Unusually handsome
color combinations are displayed to
advance buyers. The reverse side is
often of some bright color, so as to
form the trimming. Large collars viii
be an important feature of the new
coat. A distinctly new creation is a
coat of heavy doube-faced material
TO be worn either side out, thus giving
the wearer two coats i'm one. Cheviots,
heavy sergcs, broadcloths and pushes
will be popular as materials The new
kimona sleeves will be generally seen,
but the regulation coat sleeves will
still be stylish. The cuffs will be large
and trimmed, or faced. with the same
material used in the lining, or reverse
side. The suit coats are cut so as to
give long silhouette effect, much the
same as last season, but the introduce
ton of new and attractive fabrics gives
the lines an entirely different appear
ance. The Jackets will be straight cut,
measuring twenty eight to thirty in
ches in length.
Mems overcoats will be made in
bright colors this winter The materi-
ais will be mostly the heavy rough
effects. They will have belts that go
either half way around, or entirely
around, according to the choice of the
wearer. The convertible collars, so
popular for the past two seasons, will
still be worn. In general style, they
will be long and loose, hanging in folds
around the wearer. Black coats, with
the velvet collars. will be worn among
men who make point of dressing con-
servatively.
In hats, the prevalent styles will be
the low-crown black derbies, with the
modish wide brim, and heavy ribbon
Rough finish soft hats. i'm browns, tans
and grays will be worn, and the soft
velour hats, which came irWlate last
winter, will still be correct. The caps
will be of rough finished, heavy mater
ials, made up i'm large. gaudy patterns,
and a long, prominent viZor will give
them a jaunty effect A new style,
lately introduced in the aviator's cap,
the styles of which are various.
Mems shoes will be much the same
i'm style as those worn during the past
season, except that they will be more
moderate in cut, and the toes will be
lower. The tendency is to adopt low
heels, but there are no extremes i'm any
particular. Ladies' shoes will follow
the mems in style, and for both ladies
and mems winter wear water proofed
feathers are considered stylish. Tan
leather will be as popular as it was
last year, and as stylish as ever.
