nual convention voted to have the
vest worn on the outside OF the
coat. Finally, however, It was de-
cided 70 let the matter up to the
taste of the wearer. Vests with
soup stains. however, will be as
popular tEis year as last.
The C2at.-Coats will be worn by
every man who doesn't appear In
his shivt sleeves. The scalloped
coat-tail and beaded pockets will
not be IN vogue this year, current
reports to the contrary.
Trousers. - Strange to say, but
trousers will be more popular this
Winter than they were this Sum
mer. They will cover most OF the
lower anstomy. At the designers
convention there was some hint OF
knicker5ockers, but the spider
legged and bow-legged finally won
the decision that they should be full
length. The pockets this year. es
pecially after Christmas, will be the
same as last year-no change.
Neckwear.-Cravats will be worn
this year where collars are evident.
Many ties received at Christmas,
however, will not be worn. The
large fou,-in-hand tie will be very
popular this year, especially for
those who have on soiled shirt.
AS last year, the knot OF the tie
should come Just south Of the
Adams Apple. The plea to have
the knot in the back Of the collar
was not passed this year by the
fashion experts.
Collars. - Collars will be clean
and otherwise. Some of them will
fit like the lads" you see in the
street cars, but most OF theL. will
not. TIE collar will be in close
prox:o,ity with the cravat this year.
Handkerchiefs. - Handkerchiefs
will be carried in the hip pocket
this year since men have nothing
else to carry there. Some will be
linen and others will shrink twice
as much when sent to the laundry.
Gloves.-Gloves will be kept on
hand by the natty dresser this year.
Woolen and fur gloves will be worn
by those who want to keep their
hands warm, and kid, mocha and
buckskin will be worn by those who
wish to keep their hands from get
ting soiled Few boxing gloves will
be seen on the street; however. as
last year, many men will don them
indoors who ought to be driving a
cart.
The acknowledgements will be
worn over coats. Many will be long

~ experts to the Fashion De-
signers' Annual Convention
and they have come back chock-full
of Just what the well-dressed and

ter. One Of the striking features
of this years styles is the return
of the ear-muff. Heretofore 1t has
proven mighty unpopular. as a fell

What are you gonna have?" How
ever. since this expression has

well-known reasons, the ear-muff

Before buying your Winter seen
cry we suggest that you glance
over the following:
Socks. - Woolen socks will be
worn by those who wish to keep
their feet warm, and silk will be
worn by those whose sweethearts
think they are the more stylish.
Shoes.-Shoes will pinch as many
feet this year as last. Most Of
them, too, will have soles on them.
However. those who wish may wear
them soleless in the early Fall, but
in the late Winter this mode will
not only be out of style, but also
very uncomfortable.
Overshoes or rubbers will be
worn by walters, income tax collec-
tors, agents, ETC., for the purpose OF
sneaking up on the unsuspecting.
Hats.-The Winter style DEGREES
that hats shall be worn. They will
be worn by the fashionable dresser
on the street, in hotel lobbies, sub
WAYS, etc. Elsewhere the hat, no
matter how stylish it may be, will
be taboo.
Soft kcts will be worn by mush-
heads and the hard-headed man will
prefer the derby. The soft hat
should not have a crown over three
feet in height, nor a brim over a
foot and g half in width. The pro-
portion of the derby should be
somewhat less than a peck and a
quarter.
Shirts. - This season the shirt
will be worn under the vest. The
colors ara varied, bright red, grass
green and purple. for some unknown
reason, holding very little favor.
The colors. however, will be fast,
but will Of exceed the speed limit
The cuffs this year will be some
what nearer the sleeves than for

well, these boys are quite
friendly for some considerable
spell. and when they see each
other coming along the street in
the morning they whale away and
shoot their salutations. When he
is two blocks away, Squinty hauls
of and perforates Luke's hat and
Luke hauls off and puts a hole
through Squinty's shirt about half
inch from his heart. OF course, 1t
is all in fun and good natured and
is their way of saying good morn
ing
But one day this Luke Peters
has been out the night before and
his hand amt so steady, and when
he sees Squinty coming from the
postoffice he hauls of and acci-
dentally shoots Squinty in the
wrist. This happens to be his deal
ing wrist and, though 1t amt much
of a wound, 1t makes Squinty some
peeved, as it will keep him out Of
the game that night. So he hauls
of and shoots Luke in the forearm.
Then they both get mad and begin
whalin' away like the battle OF
Gettysburg.
Everybody runs to cover, and
every time after that when they
see each other they begin shootin'
in earnest until finally II gets to be
kind OF a town scandal. A COM
mittee goes to see Judge Tubbs,
who has had his hat shot off
couple OF times, and he is in no
good mood about this battle He
calls these two birds in and
hollers:
You two guys are going to sign
a treaty of peace now. This is a
town we're running, not a battle,
understand that. Now lay your
artillery on the table Squinty and
Luke scowl at each other, but both
throw their skies on the table and
the Judge says: III there is any
more shootin' around here the
court will do IT,
"He makes 'em shake hands, but
he forgets to shake 'em for more

next day he rides into town and he
