But speaking about styles. have
been telling the women what they
should wear and all about the pretty
things I had seen and hadn't said
word to the men Poor creatures
they are the ones should have been
talking TO- for they don't have time to
study the styles as the other sex do
and can't find out for themselves so
easily I admit IT does take great
deal OF time TO keep up with fads
and a gentleman who must needs be

men haven't time for that, for they
are nearly all business men and have
other ways to employ their hours
Now. have you seen what is known
s the stackpole shirt for evening
wear with the full dress or the tux

queerly. There is a cross plating
and then up and down plating. which

with the fashion Of mf1ady's new

In the matter Of ties, again the
mems fashions are similar to the
feminine tastes this season. The

to simple patterns and pale colors.
while plain necl1ties of crepe de chine
are correct and the figured scarf IS
very little worn by men in London
and New York.
It is rumored that silk dress shirts
