the latest shaped silk hats with the
flat brims and the crowns that slope
toward the top and you'll either look
like can amateur gentleman on "The
Broad Highway or French duelist.
There is a distinct leaning toward
the picturesque in present day male
style and attire that fills the aesthetic
with hope. Stocks are the first step
and either in plain black satin or re-
lieved by the white piping they are
very effective, swathing the collar
once iwth ends crossing in the back
and then returning to tie in bow
under the Adams apple. For those
not extreme enough to take any stock
in the stocks, the regulation four-in-
hands come in lovely new Persian pat
terms of rich color blendings.
If dress shirts keep on being more
extravagantly tucked it would seem
they'd soon be all tuckered out. The
masses Of tiny tucks and infinitesmal
pleats are the despair of the home
wash lady and delight to the eye,
Last season saw the advent of these
softly pleated dress shirts, the swagger-
ct ones with the body of delicately
tinted china silk and the pleated
bosom of the softest white lawn.
Going Step Farther.
This season the haberdashers are GO
ing step farther and showing shirts
whose pleated bosoms have also broken
into the striped and colored day-wear
shirt class and are made up with the
stripes running cross-wise on the bosom,
a style guaranteed to give one that
chesty look.
Even the evening waistcoats are a
mass of tiny pleats Or tucks also with
plain lapels. One untucked but stun.
ming one is of black satin piped in
white to match the black and white
satin stock
The male love of jewels is still much
restricted. Ornate scarfpins are taboo
and only plain white or black single
pearls are in the best taste. The birth
stone is permissible and moonstones
and cats eyes, simply mounted, very
good. For day wear thin disks Of gold
with an enameled monogram Of dark
blue or white are very smart fol
sleeve links. The passing of the watch
fob is complete and chains Of platinum
links for dress or lapel straps for in
formal wear are now de rigeur. The
up to the minute watch is thin as Q
wafer and open faced. 1t also is elab
orately monogramed
Sticks to be Used.
The formal stick comes in clouded
malacca mounted with an egg SHAPED
silver head engraved with a linked
monogram. For the lounge stick thu
lighter woods have lost favor and they
now come in medium dark woods will
crooked handle tipped with silver.
Hideous fancies have been allowed
to run riot in the bulky mackinawi
/
and many weird soft hats, but the wei
dressed man knows them not, Ont
must draw the line somewhere and
mackinaw is a good place to draw it.
Since Paul Poiret has night gowneC
and fingered the fair sex in the i'm
pressionistic manner of tinted liner
bordered in vivid contrasting tones, j
is only meet that the impressionistiC
paiama should take its place in thu
up.to.date wardrobe Some stunning
effects come in plain shades Of ole
blue bordered in purple and mono
grammed in the same or a combination
of old rose and green, ecru and cerise
The futurist pajama undoubtedly fiji
long felt want and make it now pos
sible for peachy Paul Poiret to re
tire appropriately accompanied,
