a matter of custom.
For instance. all of us can remember

would be outlandish. Getting back to

the demand is to be supplied by waist

sarily intended only for the man Of

being expensive in cost. it would re-

Murray. Of course. was the author OF

he was a keen admirer of everything

we wear with our evening clothes. But,
happily for our comfort. there is not one
man in a hundred who obeys this rule.
and SO it has come to be more honored
in the breach than in the observance.

leads one to the thoughts of collars and
cuffs Of the latter nothing need be said

but little need be said. and this despite
the fact that the styles in collars proba-
bly, change more frequently than the
styles in any other one article of mans
apparel. A while back. for instance. it
was the thing to wear a collar which
"came together In front. To insure this
coming together" one wore the narrow

was completely hidden.

individual. Obviously the bat-wing style
is i'll suited to some men. for instance,

scroll-like designs and patterns which
seem to have had their inception in the
far east-probably Persia.
But there are other so-called little
things besides linen to be looked after
by the man who is well dressed. There
are hats. for instance. Now If you can
catch a haberdasher in a confidential
mood, he probably will confess to you
that he doesn't think much of the latest
styles in hats. Once in every so often
one encounters a man to whom they are
becoming, but in the vast majority OF
cases they are decidedly not.
Speaking broadly. the styles in hats

half as commonly as one year ago, and
not one-fourth as commonly as two years
ago. 1t has been replaced by soft hats
and caps. of seemingly every variety and
description. One of it's successors Is the
hat of heavy cloth, commonly known as
the English rain hat" This hat has
one advantage. 1t can be placed on ones
head in almost any way-cOrrectly. hind
side-before, or sideways, and look just
about the same This Is for the reason
that. as Its name partly implies, it has
no fixed shape.
The English rain hat had a big vogue
in the earlier days of the winter, but now
this is passing. The very latest thing in
hats Is felt hat with an extremely high
crown and notably narrow. curling
brim. The crown is creased. but under
no circumstances are the sides to be
crushed in. Instead they must remain
smooth. Also, the brim must not be
turned down in front.

The formula does not apply to dress.
The big things relating to mans attire

the little things makes the care Of the big

His suit may have come from the most

The hosiery itself may be Of finest silk.
And the hole may not be much larger
than a pin point. All this doesn't mat

Such faults as these are. of course, the
