TIROUGH the little narrow street
Crawled funeral procession

ward toward the Williamsburg Bridge.
on either side of the street rickcty
houses reared their shabby fronts
toward the gray sky Dragged women
and plaintive babies crouched on dilap-

grimy children slouched on the side

made of material almost as fine as,

bination of GOODNESS and n%eatness.
Instead of directly copying the
bronze green that tickle Paris 50 we'll
liked during the past season, the
younger men on this side have taken
to green of the darker shade.
Goats of the favored suits are cut
straight in front, the waist line in
most cases raised slightly and the
corners rounded; the lapels medium
in width. sleeves plain and finished
with plain buttons. The pockets are
quite plain with a double row of
stitching on some of the suits,
although most of them show the
severe and strictly plain pockets.
In outer coats the checked pat
terms and the bold shepherd plaids in
heavy goods have just the dash that
the well-dressed man prefers.
Footwear styles lean decidedly to-
ward the button effects both for day
and dress, with patent leather a con-
siderable favorite for Ssall possible
occasions.

have gathered, among the many styles
of collars the smartest we're the COL
ored starched linen collars, matching
the material of the shirt. These col
lars are very popular with the best
dressed men and have been for some
time past. The only difference be-
tween those worn earlier and those
popular now is that the stripes form
erly ran up and down, now they run
around the collar, horizontally, and
if the stripes are wide apart, only one
may show on the collar. The ground
is, of course, always white, only the
stripe being of color. The collars are
cut more comfortably than ever, be-
ing high in the back and low in the
front.
Many of the younger men have
worn the long-pointed soft collars,
but these are not decidedly in favor.
: Nor are the long-pointed starched
Unite collars seen as much as the
tripod collars.
The soft, "undress" collars seem to
have been replaced by those of very
thin starched material. These are

WORD FROM PARIS.

In Paris, where, as you know, the
frock coat has never been very popu-
lar, it is being worn more frequently.
Now the smart man of Paris wears
it to every occasion tinged with the
least formality. The smartest are
fastened with a link button placed
just below the high waist line, and
between a double row of buttons
down the front. The narrowness Of
the waist accentuates the %broadness
of the shoulders and the fu1ness of
the chest. The lapels are soft and are
faced with dull silk. They are of
moderate width. The notch in the
lapel is now perfectly horizontal, and
the skirts of the coat are rather full

In England double-breasted lounge
suits are coming back, though one
sees very few double-breastd coats
in the more formal dress. In the
lounge suits striped material and solid

are decidedly prominent:

right-hand side of the coats have re-
appeared. These are shown in the
smartest and newest coats. The vent

the broadening of the shoulders.
Trousers remain moderately tight,
though not extremely so, and do not
seem as short as during the season
just past.

With these catas are worn vests of

White vests of pique seem to be

with morning coats, but the really

mentioned above, of buff pique.

sleeves, which are comfortably long,
are finished with three buttons on the
cuff set very close together.
With this frock coat is worn a
double-breasted vest of white pique,
trousers of black cheviot with wide
white stripes, a wing collar and pulled
crayat Of solid black heavy satin.
The Paris morning coats have wide
shoulders, the chest being prominent
and the waist very close-ftting. Some
few are cut high, but usually the waist
line is normal. Some fasten with a
single button, some have two, placed
very close together. Most of these
coats are decidedly cut away in front
