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

CBOIC

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 . .

No man's dress will be complete unless his furnishing wearables are in keeping with correct style. If you've ever desired pretty shirts, according to your taste in dress, they will be found in complete assortments here. The same completeness in Hats, Neckwear, Fancy Vests Hosiery, Underwear, Collars You will never go wrong if you come here for your furnishing wearables and your clothing as well.
