Another novelty Is crocheted
scarf. around the production OF which
is entwincd a little story. Not long
since it was reported that an i'm
portant parsonage reputed 10 be an
arbiter OF fashions was seen, wearing
an Ascot. A maker OF crocheted
scarfs thought he sa'st this report
an opportunity TO br..1 forth some.
thing new and a crocheted Ascot was
the result. II was truly an exquisite
production. but the Ascot failed to
come back"
Admiraing one OF these scarfs one
day. q gentleman folded one OF them
about his thumb In the manner OF
salesman demonstrating TO prospec-
| tive customer how four-in'hand
would look when tied. The idea fash
ed upon him. Why not four-lnhand
that would tie in small knot and
spread Immediately below the knot.
| The result was an order FOR
crocheted scarf three and half TO
four inches wide except at that part
which goes about the collar and that
part which forms the knot. This
scarf worn with the popular high-cut
waistcoat. gives the wearer the maxi
mum OF scarf within the minimum OF
waistcoat opening.
Later in the summer the narrower
forms OF scarfs will be more called
for, when the diagonal stripes, cross
stripes and below the knot patterns
will be the favorites when worn with
out the waistcoat Mogadore stripes
will be prominent There will be
fair generality Of colors, none OF
which can be said to lead.
That silk shirts will be the rage
this spring ia practically certain. SILK
shirtings Will form the major part or
the offerings Of the shirtmaker and
the haberdasher. q new idea which
will be apparent in the shirt offerings
OF the exclusive haberdasher this
spring arc silk crepes in fancy de-
sign. both figured and striped. Soft
shirts I'm line with the demand for
silk shirts are sure TO De popular.
Striped effects will be called for, par.
ticularly in the hairline variety or
patterns. these permitting the pattern

the waistcoat opening. The soft de-
tachabe collar to be worn with the
shirt, II is now believed, will be as
popular as ever. The function or the
soft collar. however. Is confined prin-
cipally to outing uses or recreations
and for lounging While worn by
some. on the streets OF metropolitan
centers, II cannot be said to be In
altogether good taste. The careful
dresser may condone its use for a

wearer intends to devote the remain

tennis court, or some other form or

this collar may come into more gen.
eral usage for just the purpose that
the soft collar is licensed by the bet

Madras collars are TO be shown than
heretofore. In linen collars the cut
away styles are gaining In favor as
distinguished from the close-ntting
types which for so long time have
retained the lead. The spring Will

4 The proper tning in gloves will be
those with the embroidered backs.
They may be of chamois, Mocha. kid
or silk, but the black embroidered
hacks are said to be the prevailing
vogue. The chamos is the thing for
early spring. while later in the sea-

! The city man, according TO the die
tates OF fashion, should be gloved
most of the time when on the street
or in the open. In the sweltering
days of the summer this may seem to
be incongruous as a protection against
the weather, but when one reflects up
! on the subject of how much OF the
dust he picks up each day the reason
for wearing gloves is obvious. They
save one OF the embarrassment Incl.
