Neckwear.
The neckwear fashions for the season
cover wide variety of ideas. Almost
all colors are shown and a great latitude
Is allowed in combining these colors to
effect attractive color effects. Plaids
are very popular and next to these are
all-over floral designs of large pattern
ing and diagonal stripes. Black and
white effects will be even stronger this
fall than they were this summer when
they began to assert themselves. The
textures for the most part will be light
In weight, indicating that pongees and
foulards will have the call over the
heavier satins and corded silks. Knitted
ties are very little shown. A pattern

number Of hairline stripes all running
diagonally across the fabric. Coin shot

two-tone effects and popular combina-

fan and winter. In fact bow ties OF all
kinds except the Windsor or large but
terfy shapes. The Piping Rock tie with
large loose knot is a decided favorite,
and many collars are launched with
widely separated wings just to meet this
vogue. These Piping Rock ties are
shown mostly in fine stripes. and all

shapes pongees. light poplins and fou-
lards are favored fabrics. The patterns
are two-tone conventional, floral. and

these ties are shaped for square ends
and others for blunt ends. These take
preference over the pointed ends
