One other point of especial distlnc-

the fact that they fasten with a

to the discard. it may be well 10
look once lingerinsly on the man OF!
fashion who goes forth this season
for a morning stroll on Fifth avenue.
The point of his apparel which hrst
| strikes the observer is the long,
snug. high-waisted. cne-buttoneo
cufaway he wears. The particularly
| individual thing about it is the light
ness of the gray material of which
| il is made. Men have rarely worn
SO formal a garment in SO light a
shade. The buttons are cloth cover

much darker than the coat. are strip
ed and hung straight. This man OF

white cloth buttoned uppers- There
Is touch of contrast again in the

of fashion has rarely taken SO pro
iieaIly to colors. The silk hat may
have the distinction of a somewhat
rakish bow in the back, distinctly

For the sumner the whole scheme
of mems wear is dominated by the
tropical cloth idea. Suits OF Palm
beach cloth have been growing in
popularity for several seasons until
this year they. with a following OF
| imitators, will be almost the only
thing worn. While garments of this
| material began exclusively In the
solid coIors. mostly tans. there is a
marked development this year. The

In many varities of stripes and
checks and much nobbier effects
than of old are thus secured.
Silk pongee suits will also be eX-
tensiveIy worn. mostly in tans. Then
there is the grass cloth which IS
newer than either of the others 1t
is made in coarse woven and home
spun effects True to its name, this
material goes in for greens and other
vegetable colors. All these materials
lend themselves to washing or dry

Approaching the tendency toward

summer. the manufacturers of light
I wcolen outer garments have hasten
ed to compromise in their product
They have made up their suit in
very light colors and have made
every compromise to GOODNESS. Many
of the ready-to-wear suits are made
with no padding about the shoulders
at ala concession to comfort that
tailors have refused to make through
the decades. Almost the only dark
coats surviving are the blue Norfolk

built along the lines Of semi-Norfolk
