PRESIDENT AT HELM.

Among the many fine sentiments of
the President of the United States, of
whom the people. without distinction of
party. are proud, is that contained in a
letter to Representative Doremus, in
which. Mr.. Wilson says that America is
bigger than any party and cannot prop
erIy be served for a moment by any man
that measures his interest against his
country's advantage. He sees the days
to come as big with destiny for the
United States as for the other nations OF
the world.
Mr.. Wilson says that parties will fare
well enough without nursing, IL the men
who make them up and who lead them
forget themselves to serve a cause and
to get a great people forward on the
path of liberty and peace.
In this considerate sentiment the head
of the nation points to the necessity for
a unity of American feeling and action
in these great times, so that the country
may be in the best position to engage in
the work that will fall to 1t, of aiding in
securing again the peace Of Europe

SHIRTS.

1t is a happy fallacy OF the masculine
world that they are not under the infiu-
ence of things sartorial, and they can at
will assume a delightfully."- superior air
toward their feminine kinsfoIk when the
question OF clothes comes up, but only
mothers and sisters know how many
shirts and socks and ties are discarded
in a frenzy when a man dresses to call
upon the one and only" and only those
same mothers and sisters know how
much Of q weekly stipend goes for gaudy
handkerchiefs or silk socks to display on
manly ankles.
A mans clothes must be cut as his
tailor DEGREES, in fact, he is denied even
the individuality allowed a woman in the
designing of her costumes as to both
color and cut, and so he expresses his
individuality in his shirts and ties, and
if the modern mans individuality is as
wide and as startling as the stripes on
this seasons shirts, this is a remarkable
generation.
The more expensive the shirt, the
gaudier the stripes this year and the
man seeking the neat, narrow pin stripes
or conservative designs-so-called stock
patterns content himself with the
cheaper shirts. The new silk shirts are
of much heavier and better quality than
in former years, and they are broadly
striped with vivid satin stripes Of black,
lavender, blue and all the tints of the
rainbow. Some have plated bosoms, but
,, the majority are made quite plainly and
when one realizes that only a tiny bit of
the shirt at the throat shows above the
high vest and at the cuffs, the vividness
| isn't really so bad as 1t appears at first.
The vogue Of crepe de chine for women
has at last slipped over the border into
mems attire, and there are some beauti-
| ful shirts now made Of this soft and at
| tractive silk. They are more conserva-
tive in their colorings than the silk shirts
but rank among Sc and 81 garments with
their gsudier fellow-shirts.
The shirts with finely plated bosoms
| in colors are no longer in vogue. and in
fact colored shirts have gone out" to a
great extent, a few pale tan shirts with
black stripes or a dull blue shirt with a
| pin stripe alone being allowable for the
| well-dressed man.
With the colored shirts have also gone
| out the gaudy socks and the colored
handkerchiefs. The latter have igiver
place to plain white ones with a tiny
lozenge Of color in the corner containing
| the monogram. As for socks, Sir Style
DEGREES that they should match the foot
wear. They may be tan or black ol
| white-but their only bit of CONTRASTING
/ color is-elocks up the side, but these are
seen only on the most expensive of the
socks, and are, at it were. a price tae
TO make other men know that you buy
expensive socks!
The corded and plated effects in sock:
are still seen in many shops, and in some
instances dark blue socks are shown &c
be worn with tan shoes. while gray silk
socks, very pale In, color. are worn BY
ultra-smart men with their dancing
pumps.

SPORTING CLOTHES.

The call Of the out-of-doors has always
been strong in the hearts Of men, some
strain Of the primitive surviving in the
midst Of the hurly buriy OF modern life
and leading them to dangerous tungles
in searchjo of big game! or urging them
to spend all day tramping a golf course
or waiting for the willy trout or speeding
through the country in a throbbing mo-
tor In consequence out-of-door clothes
are always important to a man. and ev-
cry year sees new developments for COM
fort and ease.
Especially for the out-of-door man are
the new shirts in madras, soft linen or
silk with collars that may be folded back
wide and loose away from the throat or
drawn up closely and buttoned under a
tie in such fashion that the shirt Is
equally appropriate for the ONCE or the
open air.
Other shirts that are convenient for
the outdoor man. are those whose tails
merge into drawers. thus preventing the
bulging OF the shirt above the belt, also
aiding in a quick toilet when man
