FOR MEN’S FALL WEAR.

ARTICLES OF APPAREL WHICH DAME FASHION REQUIRES. The Latest Thin* tn Neckwear—The C-n. tlneutal au<l the Rodney in Ve*ue— Styles in Coats, Trousova, and Overcoats Some suggestions as to the latest fall styles and what will be-worn during the coming season are- gleaned from th© Chicago Evening Pont. As neckwear appears to be one of the most important points in a man’s attire, the two most prominent styles of dressing the neck are illustrated. The first cut represents the latest idea for a full dress occasion. It is called the Continental collar, and is

made of the finest quality of white linen, with a flexible band that make.x it very comfortable to the neck, and of moderate height. The accompanying bow is made of the best grade of white lawn, and is what is called “The twice around*’ stvle. This combination is a revival, with slight improvements, of the neckwear of twenty-five years ago. For semi or half dress the same collar with a black silk bow should be worn. The second out is the Bodney puff or breast soars. It is a large-sized,

soft, easy-looking scarf on the neck, I and is supposed to cover the shirt front when the vest is buttoned. It should I be worn with a pin, and it will certainly be a very popular style during the comitg season. The third cut is an effect in neckwear that has long been sought after. It has proved a vex-

ing question how to obtain the little wrinkles of a tied “four-in-hand’’ in a made-up knot. For the full-dress coat, vest and pants the materials used are broadcloth, fine corded corkscrews and English crepes, the two last-named being more popular for young and middleaged men. The lapel is cut small and gracefully with a notch on points where the collar connects. The “shawl collar” is worn some, but is considered an extreme just at present. The vest is single-breasted and trimmed with serpentine or self-figured

braid put on flat and one-fourth of an inch ■wide, closed with three buttons, and the opening very slightly shaded between the V and’ O shape. The white or black silk single or doublebreasted vest cam also be worn with full dress. There ■will not be any parti c u 1 a r change of style in trousers. The double-breast-ed sack suit of black or dark-colored che-

riots is worn much. The three-button cutaway in black diagonals, with fancy silk or washable vest and light or dark trousers, still holds its own. The Prince Albert is fast working its way back into the ranks of popularity. Trousers will be worn a trifle smaller in the leg this season.
