A, and style.
A Whip Cord Suit
Whip cord has generally been as
ISOLATED with army clothes, but the
j. 3. Farrell Co. has a natty suit in
this material that is bound to appeal.
1t is deep brownish green with a
brown pencil stripe. Two buttons
fasten the fitted coat and the trous-
ars. which have graceful free lines,
ire either with or without cuffs.
The whole Kirschbaum line car
led by the Farrell company is we'll
.Torthy of attention. Other lines,
cod ones, too, are sold, but the
<irschbaum clothes form the leader.
Nearly square corners characterize
most OF the sack coats which are the
most numerous. The lines in all
cases are long and inclined to fit the
hn6y- Sr,al y
blacks, blues and browns, pencil
stripes Of green or blue or brown
on most any ground make up
the color scheme while serges,
tweeds and cashmeres are the lead
ing cloths.
Along with the business suits are
the new sports clothes. The coats
have four bellows pockets and bel
lows backs for the most part, though
some are more conservative.
Never has the Farrell line Of over
coats been so attractive as this year.
The ma iority are the full beltcd
models. Some are bit more con-
sentative with half belts while there
are light weight ovcrcoats of simple
straight lines-dress coats, as they
are generally called. No heavy black
oYercoats arc in stock, for the colors
run to all shades of tans, browns ana
grays with a few blues. Plaid backs
predominant while both patch and
bellows pockets are seen. One strk-
ing kirschbaum coat has the full
kmono sleeve, belt all round and
sleeve cuffs.
Tans, moroccos and biege are the
favorite colors of the Mallory hats at
the Farrell store. They are smaller
IN shape than hitherto with roll
brin. Hard hats are not shown at
all. Caps are varied, either in the
ht-pieco style, the whole top or
the plated back. Light colors pre-
dominate
Fine Tailoring Art
Excellent examples of the tailoring
art are shown by c. f. Bilodeau Co,
who are featuring Fashion Park and
Kupponhcimer Clothes. OF the suits
the beltcd models seem to predomin-
ate, with the coats Of slightly longer
length. Fancy models are also
shown in twceds, chcviots, sergcs,
striped worstCd and whip cord. There
is n sInartness to these models that
is sure to catch the fancy Of the
young man. Larger and more shape
~ trousers are noticed, while the
sleeves in the coats have a tendency
toward more room.
Overcoats shown by this firm have
a we'll built look that makes for
comfort. Mostly boltol models are
displayed in double texture goods
with plaid backs. Though the beltcd
models Will be in demand this year,
the plain Chesterfield will be worn
for dress. Narrower brims ana
slightly higher crowns are the out
standing features Of the new Berg
hats carried by the Bilodeau COM
pany. The lighter colors seem to be
the vogue at present.
A Shirt of Distinction
For real distinction, the H G.
! Barker Co. has a new shirt that is
| sure to be popular. Especially made
| for this firm by the Bates Street peo-
pie, this model Of shirt has not beer
seen since before the war. Two pat
tern plans are used, though there Is
but one color scheme. Cuffs and
central plat are of one design while
! the body is Of another. Buttons or
the center plait match the trim color
The whole effect is not only stylish
| but extremely pleasing.
| Equally attractive at the Barker
store is the new Leopold Morse
guard raglan overcoat. Made Of the
popular two-faced cloth with plait
back, the lines are full fitted, the
collar Of ample proportions and the
pockets of the bellows variety. The
material is the famous Worumbc
goods made at Lisbon Falls, one OF
! the finest overcoatings in the coun-
/ try.

The whole Morse line is interest
ing, for it has great variety. The
Chesterfield m d Ell overcoat Is
straight and conservative, while the
polo is very full with four patch
pockets. The roadster, double
breasted with set-in pockets, is un-
usual.
In suits, too, the Morse line is dis
! tinctive. The majority Of the sack
coats have three buttons with slight
ly rounded corners and set-in pock-
cts. Few double breasted coats are
in the line.
The sports suits very often have
both trousers and Knockers for the
