ABERDASHERY
THE SEASON

" I of forethought and consider-
the haberdashery designers
each season to put nothing
In their bands that will sound an Inharmonious note In their entire ensemble appearance. Your haberdashery designer first infortna himself a to what are the decreed colors and pattern In your clothing for the season. If he finds It Is to be a brown season or a gray season, he follows along the lines of mak
ing yotir cravat, shirts, hone and gloves
harmonize or contrast In good taste a to color scheme. Or If the edicts ortfaln that plaids or checks or stripe are the thing, he designs your cravat or shirt so that, even If yoti are unschooled as to what goes best with the predominant pattern effect, he regulates his productions so that the good Hhopa have nothing to offer you except what yti can wear In perfect accord with artistic effect Tou probably have never rcnllxod this, nevertheless it ia true, and if you
but go lo the competent shops you will
find that the clever salesman will size
up your garments and offer you the
things that blend so that your refinement and good taste In dress Id as
sured. But why not know these thins yourself as an additional safeguard? Why not be ns sure from your own knowledge that you are right as your lady is
about her fixings? For Instance:
Neckwear At the present time It can hardly be
said that any one color will predomi
nate, but It is assured that browns are going to have a prominent position in the color scheme of the reason, and not at nil unlikely the most prominent place. Next to these come the black and white combinations" and then the grays. Then there will be a bewildering array of what are called the "off shades," such as mauve, wisteria, burgundy and dozens of such newer tones. Panel and striped effect are the pattern notes where patterns arc at all employed. We make this reser
vation, as there Is a strong tendency In favor of plain effects for this season. Then there are cross bars, Scotch plaids and checks to be considered, for they are well placed In the edicts. Narrow stripes are preferred over the wider varieties, as the shapes of the spring ties adapt themselves better to the narrow effects, for the width of the majority of ties will be such as fit comfortably with the close-fitting collar. Many of the high-class furnishers show some very attractive lines of Persian brocades and diagonal stripe
effects. In the brocaded lines the flo
ral and vine patterns nre leautiful. Among the higher grade cravats the Unit varieties are exceptionally hand
some and these ties are stronger than ever with the man who is willing to
Indulge himself with the expenditure of the price that real good effects
command. The cheaper grades of knit ties are passe, as it has been found Impossible to put good quality or distinctive patterning in a knit tie to sell at less than two dollars, and for those
that arc really Kmart you must pay from three to five dollars. The shaped tie that will be most in demand this season are the four-in-hands that run from one and three-quarters to two Inches In width. A promising novelty of the season Is a combination set consisting of a panel striped four-in-hand with a soft outing collar to match. Shirts and Collars An inspection of the patterns shown for spring reveals a great variety ot stripes and bars. Some of these have a skip stitch, or broken instead of a solid effect. Blue and white, green and white, hello and white and gray anil white stripes are shown most generally. Black and white has also an exceptionally good place in the decrees.
Knised self stripes of the hairline type, and wider, are also considered
sood stvle. Stripes form the chief
maUe-un of this spring's styles, the
strines belne not only in solids but
also In the broken varieties. The wide
strinod effect on fancy grounds are
very fashionable, and raised effects i:
stripes on the cord variety are also in
vogue. Cluster stripes are shown in many of the high priced grades. The styles which are the most popular in the pleated shirts are those with white grounds and fancy colored stripes.
French flannel shirts will be even more
popular than last season, when they came very strong during the outing
iays. The majority of these have
French cuffs and soft collars detached.
launched this season than has been
our fortune for some time. There will be soft negligee collars of various kinds of materials and a profusion of
patterned and color effects. The closeSttinj; starched collar will, of course, 'jo the leader, and some wing effects are making strong bid for popularity, but loo!; out during the mid-summer months for a prominence of the patterned soft collar, for few smart dressers will resist the temptation to make their necks comfortable and dressy
where such excellence of opportunity is
offered. Gloves and Belts In gloves, the chamois and gray
suede will be the two most popular
styles, and in belts all styles of neat, luiet effects in black, brown and grays
are safest and in best taste. There are also a number of green novelties shown, but their destiny is speculative. The narrow tubular belt promises to
be the feature of the season, and the
pis in black buckle the preferred trim ming.
Jewelry In cuff links, plain, ovaj-shaped styles vith flat tops and monograms cut into hem are as fashionable as ever. Semirecious stones in odd shapes and arrangements are preferred as jeweled lecorations with the most refined Iresscrs. The cravat pin is wellchos--n if matched with the links in jewel 'reatment, this tasty tendency even xtending to studs when worn with the stiff bosom shirts. Fobs for the time being have lost popularity, for

Hosiery - There Is nothing of great novelty t be chronicled ia, the hosiery fashions. The hose are beat chosen when match ed with the cravat, so what has been said regarding the fashionable color for ties also joes for hosiery. Modest
patterns and quiet colors are noted In the popular priced lines and ia the silk
or lisle goods the solid colors or the plain with quiet contrasting or selfblocks or figures are the preferred effects. In the" finest hosiery goods the accordion effects are splendid, and if these are matched in scheme with the knitted cravat the effect Is exquisite. Waistcoats The waistcoat this spring will assume a prominent place in the scheme of man's dress. For several years, since coats were worn buttoned up, the waistcoat has taken a secondary place, but more of it will be seen this season and more attention will be paid
:o it. With most coats, especially tus
sack and the business cutaway, the
waistcoat will be cut unusually high.
with a small opening, and will show at least an inch, and frequently considerably more, above the opening of ths
coat, even when the latter Is closed to

HERE should bo a strong bond of sympathy between those whose vocation it is to evolve new hat styles for men each season, and those
'who have to chronicle the charges, inismuch as both are sadly put to it by he meagre limitations that the subject offers. We must have new styles n headwear for men each season just is we must have new fashions for women, otherwise some of you provllcnt men would dig up last seasons' hapeau, spend a half a dollar or so ;o get It rejuvenated and cheat the
hatter out of his all too modest proflh
tit is to counteract this contingency
khat something has to be done to draw (down that crown a little lower than it Kvas Inst season or pull those brims ut a little further. Anything to make (last fall's hat look passe and prevent you from "getting away" with such litrocious economies. Russell Sage's
'.treat boast was that he saved three or four dollars a year by buying his hats at the end of the season when they were almost giving them away, and putting the hat carefully away for the next year. But Russell was never fin
icky about being right in style, so your
hatter had no chance with him but for you young man who demand just
the correct "kelly" of the peason, the
proportions and contours have to show
change to save you from any tempta
tion to make "last year's do."
And "believe us," it is some task.
because for the last fifty years men have never stood for any radical changes in either shape, fabric or color in their hats, which makes the scope for change a mighty perplexing problem. This spring, they tell us, your crown must be lower and brim wider, and as the limitations bring the proportions down to fractional inches you must not trespass this season beyond the boundaries. The bowlers or derby hat crowns must not in peril of ostracism be more than 5 Inches high or lower than 4 inches, and the brims must be at the narrowest 2 inches and the extreme in width 2. Can you imagine anyone having the temerity to tell yowr wife or your sis-1
ter that her headwear must keep with
in a range of a half inch in any proportion and that she has to stick to two or three materials and it most a half dozen colors? That Is what we
men are up against. And our brims
must be flat with only a slight curve
from front to back, and only one color
is considered good form this season, and that is somber black. In the soft hats we are given a
trifle more latitude, for we may wear
either Alpines or Telescopes, anrt we can twist the brims almost any way
we choose according to our inclination for conservatism or dash. The older men will wear a high full crown in
these hats and the fashionable textures
are mixed grays and brownish grays
The young men will, for the most
part, wear the pencil curl telescopes in colors of pearl, smoke, steel sod tans. Then there will be a lot of hybrid colored and patterned cloth hats worn, especially for traveling, and these are all of the gray and brown tones, or combinations of these shades. Caps are becoming more and more popular each year, and swagger young fellows take to them kindly because they offer great opportunity for a touch of smart color and pattern effect that hitherto has been denied men above the chin. In the hard straw hats the sennits and split straws are the things, with the former having a slight preference These bats will have a very square appearance in that the width of the brims and the height of the crowns are about equal. The dimensions quoted are 2x2, 2x2 and 2Hx2. In the soft straws the Milan and Mack
inaw braids are favored, these in the pencil curl effect.
A comparatively new hat Is bidding
for favor with o much response that
the Panamas are being crowded Into the background. This hat is called tb
Bankok. It is very light, therefore
very, comfortable hat for the hot sun mer months. These hats come from Japan and are even lighter in weight than the Panamas, though not Ughtei in cost. They are more economical however, in that they are very easiij cleaned and preserved.
