' NO NEW FEATURES IN HEADWEAR

HE changes In the shape of der

bias and soft bats thia aaaon are ao alight from the conventional abaoca of heretofore that It la

J extremely difficult to define them with anr decree of lucidity. Iet

toecomlngnesa be the primary consideration and yon cannot go amlsa. The ahapea abown thia aeaaon by authoritative designers are ao varied that no man, if hit Jndffment be good, need near an nnbecoraIng style. The atiff hats bare undergone little, if any change. The tendency is towards crowns that are leas foil In the tip showing a trifle more of the oral shape than was worn laat winter. The moat approved brims are medium set, terminating in a 3-inch round curt. The prevailing dimensions do not differ radically from the vogue of recent seasons. In height they vary from 5 to 514 leches and In width of brim from 1 to 2. Black haa the preference over everything else. A few graya, elates, aeal browns and tana are shown, but we do not look for wide popularity In the colored atiff hats thia aeaaon. Few D'Orsay ahapea are ahown in the beet shops, and when recommended at all are suggested for men past middle age. The silk hat for the season ahows a alight bell-ehape, and in general lines and curl of brim it la about the aame aa the derby referred to above. For young men the approved dimensions are B by 1 inches and for older men 5 by 2V4Soft hata will have a renewed popularity thia aeaaon, and there are no marked

changes in tog shapes no howa from those of last spring. There will be a prominence of gray abadea to work ia harmony with the gray suits. There will alao be various tones of brown shown, rnaaing from seal and chocolate to the light tans and champagnes. Dark blue ia gaining more popularity than haa been evidenced in recent seasons. The popular dlmeoalooa range from 4 to 4 by 2 to 3. Some of the gray hats now shown have bands, binding and edge stitching of contrasting colors, usually plum or blue. It is noticed that in the telescopes there is a tendency toward medium low crown, wide flat brims with rounded curl all around the edge. This Is one of the few new shapes shown this seaaon. In appearance it Is a mighty attractive block distinctly different from the deaigna of recent years. The one novelty note In caps for the season are those showing rather loud black and white checks. Aside from these loud Scotchy patterns obtain. Yacht and golf ahapea are decidedly more popular than the bulky ahapea previously in vogue. Aa to atraw hata, sennit and apllt atrawa In Bailor and yacht shapea will be the popular tblnga. Some aoft braid hata will be worn, but it is believed that their popu

larity of last summer will be found on the

wane aa the seaaon progresses. There are no extreme noveltlea shown in the atiff straw hata. The medium rough braid haa the preference over the coarser weaves. On

these the brims will be fottsd te t trifle wider than those ahown laat summer. The popular dimensions in straw hata for the eeaaon are 3Vs by 2, 39a by 2, and 2 by 2. There is every indication that Panamas are going to return to high favor. Adjustable fancy banda are going to be more fashionable than ever this summer and their adoption will not be restricted to the school and college boys but substantial business men, who keep In close touch with the trend, will surely wear them. One reason why theae will be taken up by maturer heads la from the fact that harsh contraats are no longer in vogue. Soft tones and color harmony is being in

troduced in subdued combinations that will appeal to the discriminating dresser. Until recently the business man who wanted fancy bands would have an array of college colore spread before him for his selection, whereas he now has the opportunity to take his choice from a good assortment of quiet combinations that will appeal to his fancy. It la a new mode for men to have a number of bands of various huee to flt the color scheme of hla general dreea, Jast as a quantity of neckwear la maintained for the same purpose. The new tones and shades shown this seaaon are truly beautiful. Of course, in college localities, college colors will still be worn. Two prominent colors that will be aeen a great deal thia aeaaon in fancy banda are gray and reseda.

,E are going to tone ear boys

down a bit this season that Is as to the at y ling of their garments. Perish the thought that we could suppress them ia eplrlt

'even though we wanted to, which

we certainly do not. We are going to let them wear stripes sad plaids as heretofore, bet their stripes are not going to be qalte ao atrlpey and their plaids not nearly so plaidey. which in approved English meana that we are going to subdue the character of the patterns that wlU be identified with the bey's slothes this spring and summer. Our boys are going to take their faahloa Influences from father that season rather than from mother, and this means that simplicity is golag te be the keynote as far as Is consistent an expressing Juvenile fashions. Grays and greens are to be the color tones with the former much preferred la the decrees. There is to be a preponderance of grays and a significant demonstration that atripea are the real thing. Of course there will be many color schemes aside from the graya and also many very

showy patterns, but those who lay down the juvenile fashion decrees countenance theae only as concessions to personal preference. The mandate to those who deaire te obey fashion to the letter will Influence if not coerce their lads te affect grays In modest atripea. For those who will not accept the atripea. and there are many, the more liberal designers say that your boy may wear shepherd checks, broken plaids, broken checka aad checked plaid combinations. There are so many beautiful deaigna displayed thia season In theae effects that It is safe te eay they will not ge begging for adherents. In all patterns, whether It be In plaids, stripes, checks or self designs, moderation sad email effects define the tendency toward simplicity. The color schemes are also subdued, the most popular combination being gray foundation with sprinkllnga of green aa the contrasting tone. In the materials, those that have been popu

lar for several aeaaoaa still obtain. These are the velours, cassltnerea. cheviots, tweeds and the more quiet Scotchy effects. These are for the spring months particularly, for In the mid-summer outing and vacation suits we shall see many of the tropical textures employed. Homespuns, crashes and light weight flannel effects are going to be tremendously fashionable during the dog days. Norfolk atylee are atlll the popular thing with the school boya aad after theae the two-piece single and double breasted sack a. For the little fellow? the Russian and sailor blouse etyles are to the fore, though several ualque departures from these hare been launched, but ae yet their popularity ia epeculatlve and hence cannot be given any definite position in the edicts. Eton linen collars with Windsor ties are going to be worn a great deal thia aeaaon with both these blouse atyles. Roth the ties and the collars being detachable. Next to the gray effects, blues ere established

as most acceptable for the Unto fellows. In the wahab effects there ere shown many butcher linens, kakhl aad wmI crashes. On these also some aeodeta Include the Kton collar and Windsor ties detached. Sometimes a fancy tassel cord of silk is supplied In lieu of the tie. Many of these n Id -summer effecta for the little) fellows are wade along negligee Hies with short sleeves and low necka for cool romping-. Bloouer trousers are given the prefer eace on all boys suits and these are net cut quite so full aa heretofore. The prescribed hat for the school bey this season ia the grey telescope with many natty and careless ahaplags ef the brim. Fancy bands will be worn a great deal on there, but of modest colon aad not the weird combinations that we are accustomed to seeing. The boys' sheet follow the aame shapes and leathers aa are decreed for their daddies. These are dull calfs, patents end tans, and the two-hole eyelet oxfords wlU be the popular styles.
