Fall Fashions In Men's Footwear.

Nmn'i attire the hat. the tie

and the ahoea may be made the high lights of the apparel portrait, not obtrusively, of course, nor glaringly, but In a tasteful and subdued

manner. It Is getting to be almost as established a custom for men to wear black shoes for winter and tan for summer, as it Is for them to wear derbies tn the fall and winter season and straw hats during the summer days. Follow this trend. This Is to be a season of black shoes, calf, vicl and the dull finish effects to occupy the position of favor in the fall edicts. Patent leather boots, with their excessive glitter, are distasteful to many men, who prefer what Is known as varnished calf kin, a dull, soft leather. For tha early fall days, Blucher oxfords and two and three-eyelet tics promise strong favor, and for those who desire to cling to the waning summer by affecting oxford tans of a light chocolate shade. These tre shown with much prominence in the smart "booteries." Ox-bloods and trlnes are going out of fayor. They ever were very stylish and never will ee. There seems to be a strong lntiotency in some, quarters to perpetuate

the green shoes that were introduced last season with only a fair degree of success, and as green is one of the very fashionable colors for men this season, the green shoes may yet become a recognized fashion factor. All the smart shops now show them In a grain finished calfskin. Moat of them, however, are quite dark and the green Is of an indeterminate color. One argument that men of preciaeness find against these green effects is that such shoes, after a little wear, look nearly like badly polished black shoes, or black shoes which have been gone over with stove polish. Some of these green shoes have orange color stitching to accentuate the green. In most shoes this winter the edges 'will be trimmed fairly close and the toes in many new lasts will be shorter and thicker. The producing of a short effect in

patterns is being done away with ancfc

the shortening la produced in the last itself. Some of the new lasts look quite blunt and thick. In heels there la a tendency to vary the height considerably, there being extremes In both directions. Military heels are numerous and some of them are as high as 1 inches, to go with the new lasts. For

Slight Changes in Hat Styles.

the most part the word is "higher and lighter" heels. One and three-quarters Inches seems to be the maximum height, however. Heels this season are breasted with a deep concave and some of the smartest .models are made with small top lifts and trimmed in Cuban fashion. A popular edge is trimmed close on the inside, with a fairly wide extension on the outside. A number of novelties will be shown, with green or tan topping on black vamps, either patent or black Russian. As stated above, the popular mode for the season will be the black calf, Russia or vicl effects. Patents and tans in various tones are of courso shown and will be worn, but there Is no question but that for this season at least they are on the wane. In the high shoes the button effects, while probably not so much worn, are considered the more fashionable, and in the lace effects tha Bluchers are stronger in popularity than the straight lace models. Swing lasts are shown In great variety and those of the conservative shapes are more favored than the ex

treme "freaks." Blunt and "bull. dog"

toes are well within the edicts. . Strap

and buckle effects are shown for the men of affectation, but are not recognized as really good taste with discriminating dressers. Some bronze finishes also launched as bronze is to be very popular In ladles' shoes and a few daring' designers contemplate that this mode may Influence the men to adopt them, but there is nothing on record as yet that put them within the decrees. It Is so well defined that shoes are to be part of the harmonious color scheme this season ani as there are no shades ordained K men's suits, hats or neckwear that harmonlse with the bronze shoes, it is Illogical to presume that they will have any great popularity. Black shoes, and even some tans, have made their appearance in London with gray cloth tops aud extensive decorations on the toe cap-i They look remarkably smart when the cloth is of gray toning with the suit, and as this is to be a season of gray predominating, here as well as In London, we may expect to see many such, as well as gray spats with smoked pearl buttons. These imported suggestions are going to be noticed as soon as the gray aspect of the season Is well developed.

"a Mk

V hats the blacks predominate

this season and browns are very meagrely displayed. Orays are ' well considered from the general popularity of that color in outer gar

ments. Dark wine, purples and bluea In soft hats are widely shown, but they can hardly be givenxany decided position in the narrow confines of the hat shades decreed for this fall. In London many eccentric Innovations are being disclosed for fall and some will find their way to this shore, but we Americans are more radical In our hat fashions than any other nationality. Germany, England. France, Italy and Switzerland have sent us many novelties In headwear. but whenever they have been decided departures from the conventional, our best dressers have always disregarded them. Not only In hats, though It is more marked In this feature, the American Is developing an In

dividuality In dress that is becoming less influenced each season by what they

are wearing abroad. Those who fashion our headwear dic

tate for this season stiff hats of from I 6 to Hi -inch crowns and 1 to inch brims. The domes of these hats

tre fully oval-shaped and the brims de

cidedly curled. The tendency Is toward smaller shapes. D'Orsay shapes with flattened top, medium aet and wide binding, are much in vogue for middle-aged men. Most of the soft hats Worn by the conservative dressers, and this Is to be a conservative season, are confined to creased crown effect a The crowns on these are fall shaped and

may be dented or telescoped according

to individual taste and becomings esa. For the more extreme dresser the low

crown effects are preferred. Ia these many novel arangements of negtlgee brims are shown, intra, shades in these

hats are purples, wines aad dark ma

roons. The most fashionable, however, are those of the gray order, such as

stone, slate, fog and smoke shades.

There are also many rough materials shown and these are principally la mixed tones of grays, greens, olives, blues and oxfords. The trimmings on these are

ribands and edging of black or naif tones.

In silk hats the crowns are almost

cylindrical, very slightly belled, and the

brim is of usual pattern, not the flat. French-looking brim generally associated with unbailed crowna in silk bats. Silk hats for. young men are l crown from 1 to 1 brlma. and for oldee men 1 crown by from 3 to 1 brlma. The opera hat seems to be losing Ite popularity tn the very field It has always claimed aa Its own. More silk hat were worn last winter at the opera an at the horse show In New Tork than, were seen of the collapsible hat. In London it la also true that silk hats are usually worn at all eatertainmenta; affairs where the epera hat waa formerly In favor. For motoring, hats as well as caps of tweed and other woolen fabrics have taken precedence over the leather effect a. This Is well, aa It Is possible to put some style and smartness into this headwear while the leather effects axe not receptive to artistic fr-Tg.
