fl the death of King Edward
vpon the febrles In men's clothing for thli Fall and
Winter. Reports from England Indicate a strong rogue In London for dark materials, especially In pin check effects. As high class American tailors not onlr construct their garments along the lines depicted by the London fashion plates, bat Import practically all their fabrics from England, It la highly probable that American cloth mills and clothing manufacturers will follow this tendency. Pin checks In the lighter shades which showed
such popularity the past summer are
being transformed Into more somber
tones, the back and white predominating.
It Is quite pronounced In the ad-
rance Fall showings that there Is a strong leaning toward gray, both In
solid colors and In mixtures. These
materials are of the class known In
the trade as Bannockburn (a sort of
a tweed from a town of that name near Glasgow, Scotland) and ' pin checks, both of these effects being popular In England as "Kings' Mourning." A , predominance of black and
white and somber gray also reflects this tendency. i

The younger American element have for some time past been making a strong effort to throw off the yoke of English suggestion in their fashions and with no small degree of accomplishment. This will be especially noticeable this season as the English
fashions will lose much caste in this country since King Edward, the recog
nized dean of the fashion world, has
found no accepted successor. There
fore, while the more conservative men
will adopt the "King's Mourning" ef
fects, the younger element and their
adherents are coming out strong for browns In novelty patterns. The plaid effects are said to be the best, while some have the stripes in addition. Nothing Is shown in the solid shades
of brown. Everything shown for fall Is in the soft finish effect, cassimeres
and soft finished serges being most
prominent, both in imported and do
mestic materials. Besides the grays
and browns, blues will be very popu
lar.
Chanticleer novelties will be a
feature of the season. The Idea Is
used In the material rather than in the
style of the garment The fabrics are (soft finished ones, with small red or Ibrown pin dots sprinkled throughout
The effect is a reddish or brownish hue, very rich in appearance.
The fall models in suits and over
coats show practically no changes
The cutaway frock coat is the most
notable among the new fall garments. Some of the garments have silk braid
edges and cuffs, and on the outside seam of the trousers as well. This
style of coat can be appropriately ac
companied by gray striped trousers and fancy -waistcoat For semi-formal wear, as well as for business, it gives
promise of considerable popularity for
the fall season. The favored fabric
for the cutaway frock coat is the soft finished worsted. The suit styles are gradually. getting away from the ex
treme broad shoulders, and this season
decidedly favors the English natura. shoulder effect a narrow shoulder! The , coat is also cut closer fitting around the waist, defining the dip eft feet These coats, however, are cuti full in the chest The coats are also! shorter than has been seen In many, seasons; however, the extreme shorh coat has not yet arrived. The sackj coat is still the popular garment Thej peg-top and semi-peg-top trousers, which originated with the college) youth and were taken up later by thej
set lay-down collar, however, is still
the vogue on the finer garmentsnot -withstanding that the convertible col
lar adds much to the serviceability of
the garment.

considered proper. In overcoats, as In suits, there is a call for the wool and soft finish fabrics. This popularity Is caused by the great variety of patterns which can not be had in worsteds, except in
the higher priced materials. The com
bination military collars for overcoats
continue to make their appearance. Although constructed on many differ
ent principles, the effect obtained in
all are very similar. Ordinarily the lapel effect Is shown, and for stormy
or cold weather the lapel or collar is
and this in spite of the fact that It is not an easy overcoat to don when one
is wearing evening clothes. The man
who is wise and can afford it usually
has two of these overcoats of differ'
ent weights a rather light one for day wear with a cutaway or frock
coat and - a much heavier one for
evening wear. Both, i re of rough me
terial, with velvet collar and three
buttons. There t rsually a rather wide peaked lapel, and the smartest
men always wear these coats "with
only two of the three buttons In use,
Something rather new, noticed tha ;
other day, was an orereoat for ftyen lng wear, combining the style of a single breasted Chesterfield, with long soft lapels and the old-faabtoned In- .
verness Cape. - The front Is ,that of ' the Chesterfield overcoat potaibly' a '
little bit looserwhile the back, fitted with the capo, reminds one of the Inverness. It is rather smart look lng, and ono can get into It Terr easily without danger of disarranging kin ' tie or tho set of his waistcoat. The h lapels, faced with silk, are similar to
those of an evening ooat, only much
larger. This coat's advantage oyer the old Invemoss !s that It la very
much warmer. It is simply an tnnoYSv Hon and it to doubtful whether it wilt
command any amount of public favor.
The style changes in 4ress clothes are so slight as to make chronicling difficult of lucidity. The best models are practically tho same as those of last season. i . .
