peciaIly one that means a sacrifice
OF comfort and it is established that
the soft shirts are both more COM
Portable and more wear-resisting
than the stiff shirt in combating the
machine laundry
There are no prescribed colors IN
shirts for the season, as the schemes
shown cover the entire gamut of the
snectrunn. Greens and lavender are
used prolifically and light pinKs,
blues and violet are used great deal
in solid tones on sateens, silks,
mercerized materials and Japanese
crepes. Matched collars are showing
some prominence. Cuffs will De OF
the French follower sort on all the
soft shirts.
Hoosiery is showing strong ten
dency toward a return or patterneu
6esiens. Small stripes, conventional
and floral embroidered figures, small
accordion and hair-line stripes, polka
dots and cross stripes are profusey
shown in the new hosiery. The max
ers of guaranteed sox are now apIe to
design patterns in their weaVes anu
this is in a large measure RESPONSE
BILE for the new vogue, as men Wet7
heretofore satisfied to deny thems
selves patterns in order to saLeg ua n,
the wear. OF course, many solid col
ors will be worn in the Isle, silk ana
merino sox and several new shades
are now introduced. These are
beige. mustard, amethyst, burgundy
and apple green The staple colors
also are still much in fashion. White
sox and white and black polka oots
or stripes, are also in popular vogue.
There Is but little variation in the
decree for the season in gloves, ex-
cept during the early autumn, SILK
gloves in grey, steel, gun metal, tan
and champagne will be largey
worn. The almost prohibitive prlce
Of hides will naturally influence
large sale of silk gloves. Chamols
also will be exceedingly popular
Handkerchiefs show an increasing
tendency toward fancy borders ana
all-over patterns of small squares.
Paiamas are Of the military style
with vertical stripes or solid colors,
with small conventional treatments
of pattern on cuffs, collars, pocket
heads and front panel. -
Mufflers are for the most part SOLID
coIors in knitted materials. In
iewelry, the popular fad will be dec.
orations Incorporating the natlonai
emblems in flag, banner or shield
form, showing the tri-color scheme.
For full dress pearls of either gray
or black tone are in the highest vogue
for shirt studs and cuff links and also
for waistcoat buttons. Now that
wrist watches are so generally worn
in, the army. the suggestion of femi-
niness in men wearing them is re-
moved and great vogue for wrist
watches among men is prophesied.
Whether this actually develops to a
pronounced degree is speculative.
In fobs the designs will be either
monograms or national emblem eff
fects and lapel buttons will be mostly
emblems of our national colors or
red cross design. Ribboned monagams
are also popular as watch chains. :
Many appeals to misplaced pa
triotism are launched by the intro
duction of national colors and en-
blems on ties, handkerchiefs and
hose, but men of good taste and good
patriotic impulses will not wear them,
as 1t was never intended that our ma
tional colors should be so used.
Collars, both soft and stiff, show
tendency toward long points, COM
ing either to an acute angle or slight
ly cut away.
