kBVER before in the history

of tbe trade haveibaberdash ers provided for the well-

l l dressed American such a

remarkable variety 'of shirts, neckties, and minor accessories to the toilet as they have in store for the

fall and winter season of 1911-1912.

The soft shirt, in all sorts of nice

fabric, continues to hold tbe market, In exclusive and ordinary wear alike.

But the much-vaunted soft collar has failed to meet the expectations of its progenitors. During tbe pmst summer

It was worn ' very little by men of

taste; for its appearance is nntldyand It proved no mere comnortable than the usual starched linen collar. For

the fall and winter it isinot in evi

dence at all, and probably) will not be

revived next sprlag. Practicalrjr all efalrts carry the French cuffs that la, the unstarched, turned-hack kind. These are worn almost universally at ail times except for more or less for malt functions that call for starched white linen. They may be obtained at all prices, from $1.60 up. Light-weight French batiste shirts average $5.50, so do silk negligees, custom made. These, and the less expensive grades, made from linen, muslin, and other fabrics. Including percales, madras and surah silks, are

worn to business by young and old,! by men of 'moderate Income and those

who can afford to gratify expensive

tastes.

A swell shirting, which will tbe made

up for tbe fall and winter In both negligee and pleated, is the Russian cord. This is found 'mostly in lavender, blue and tan, and will undoubtedly be extremely popular among the high-class trade. Pique and mercerized detachable collars are on sale, but haberdashers do not predict any extensive demand for them. Neckwear Is 6hown in an astonishing variety of weaves and patterns, both in four-in-hands and "bat wing" ties. The latter are in great favor for early fall, and may be had in accordeon weaves, solid colors, stripes, diagonals and "polka dots." The latter pattern has come into style again, and will be worn extensively during the coming season, especially in four-in-hands. So - far, the dots are confined to white against dark blue or some other solid color; they vary in Ise from a quarter to half an inch in diameter. The newest thing in neckwear, designed especially for the fall trade, is known as tbe handkerchief scarf. This is a four-in-band, of generous size; most of them are exceedingly gaudy, carrying brilliant combinations of colors in what is designated as Persian designs. "It is astonishing," said a prominent haberdasher, "to see how men's tastes change; this is no longer a feminine prerogative. Thousands of

men are wearing today the brightest combinations of color imaginable men who a short while ago would not have thought of wearing anything but black, white, gray, or the soberest combinations." But the preference for the quieter combinations still exerts an influence, and for the fall, besides the brilliant Persian designs inrumchundas and foulards, are many plain colors and combinations with neat, attractive effects in stripes and diagonals. In fact, I have been informed that fully 60 per cent of the neckties sold of late have been in solid colors or in "self stripes that is, stripes of the same color, but different shade, as the ' body of the tie. In the more exclusive trade exclusive, in this connection, usually means nothing more than expensive some houses show a striking novelty in a four-in-hand of bright scarlet, made of Irish muslin, which sells for $1.50. Netted neckwear is practically de trop. A new design, created especially for autumn, is of alternating stripes of gray and green, each stripe being inch wide, and composed of countless smaller stripes in the weave. This is a decided novelty, and extremely attractive to the eye. Fancy waistcoats are to be had practically without restriction as to style or pattern. Perhaps the most popular, and certainly one of the nicest in appearance, is made of silk or velvet,

with perpendicular stripes, less than a quarter of an inch wide, of black and silver gray. For autumn wear are some-of white vyelle flannel, with narrow stripes of blue or black. The Tuxedo and dress vest is of white French pique; with the dinner coat simple effects In gray and in black-and-white may be worn. In underwear, union suits vie with two-piece suits in about equal ratio; in the former, the suit with half arms and ankle-length drawers, which costs froni $1.50 up, seems to be in great favor. These come in crepe, soisette and heavier fabrics. Hardly any socks are to be seen except silk and silk-and-Iisle. It is actually true that real silk socks have been sold for 25 cents a pair; the average price for the fall trade is 35 cents, or three pairs for a dollar. Cotton and woolen socks are shown only when called for. They are all in solid colors, no stripes or other combinations being on view. Jewelry for men's wear, for formal dress or otherwise, is measured only by the contents of the buyer's purse. Almost everything is "matched" nowadays comes In "sets," including shirt studs, vest buttons, cuff links, and, when the studs are not worn, stickpin as well. These sets may be bought expensively or otherwise. The latest offering for fall has a tiny bit of platinum in tbe centre of a button of mother - of - pearl. Cat's - eyes, moon

stones and amethysts are all popular and not very expensive. Stickpins for the necktie may be selected from a million , designs, at all prices. The same is true of the watchfob but It must be pendant from a black silk ribbon. A plain, unadorned cane, with bent handle, will be carried this fall, but at the same time the buyer can indulge his individual fancy for decoration in silver or gold. Malacca, pimento and snakewood are among the more expensive sticks, while bamboo and olivewood are inexpensive and entirely proper. The latest novelty in canes is one with an electric light, which enables the late home-comer to find the keyhole in tho wee sma' hours o' th marning.

OR this snlendid time of

F year, the hatmakers have 1 rmvlilprt for the American

man the greatest variety of headgear ever shown within

the memory of the present generation.

'ew styled are prominently dis

played among the hat-stores, and tbe man who has pretensions of being

well dressed must let his wife giTe hia last season's hat to the janitor or

the Salvatlou Army, and provide himself with a new one.

The unbecoming derby vwita high

crown and flat brim that bas been In evidence for the last two seasons has

been thrown into the discard by the desisners for this fall and winter. In

its place they have given the public a nice, good-looking hat, with medium low crown about 5 Inches deep with a brim from 2 to 2Vi inches wide and a round curl at the edge. This makes a very attractive hat, one that

is suitable for all ages; it is in striking and pleasing contrast to the oth

er so much so. that a last season's

derby can be identified a block away.

The high silk hat, as designed for

tho fall and winter, 1911-1912, also shows a marked difference from that

of last season. It show a "fatf French curl, with a very slight bell

The crown is 5 Inches high; the

brim is 1 or 2 inches wide.

Soft hats, for early fall wear, are

in countless varieties. Many of the

best dressed men prefer a soft hat to a derby, and wear one for at least

two months after laying aside the

straw and before resuming the con

ventional stiff hat.

The majority of those provided for

this season are of soft, smooth felt.

in grays and browns, with bands of

darker shades than the hats them

selves. The brim of the new soft hat dips in front, and has a roll on the

right side. Sometimes a brown hat

may be seen with a gray ribbon band,

and vice vers; but as a rule the hat ribbons are of the same color, but dif

ferent shades,

A neat soft hat, affectsd mostly by AW.

younger men. Known mm u v-

bridge, is made In browns sad grays

mixed. It is o pliable that It can ha put Into almost any shape desired. It baa a drop tip that Is, the brim dips down In front and is turned up in the rear. The crown Is about 4 Inches high. The "King Ahenso" Is a semi-soft hat that derlres its name from the royal personage who first gave It sanction. The "King Alpnonao" has flat crown, SH inches high, and a flat brim 2H inches wide. It Is to be had in all shades of pearl, nutria or brown, with trimmings to match. This hat may not be worn by all, but

is extremely becoming to certain types of men.

One of the newest bats Is known as

the "rough scratch-up," wnicn iooks

as though It might be made of a longhaired rat's hide. Its crown Is five

inches high; the brim is stitched, with

raw edge, and may De turnea up or

down according to the wearer's pleasure. The "scratch-up" is made up in champagne colors, steel gray and dark

mixtures, and Is likely to become very

popular among the younger set

Never before, in the history of the trade, have so many caps been sold among well-dressed men as during the present year, and the supply provided for fall and winter Includes many new styles. As a rule, they are of uniform shape, with 2H-inch brim made of cassi meres, tweeds, home-apuns, "nigger-heads," and basket weaves. The check patterns, which bfcte been very popular, are now superseded by the home-spun s, which seem to stand at the head of the list The very proper cap is made from a piece of the same material of which the wearer's suit or overcoat Is constructed; but this rule is by no means arbitrary. Caps are worn chiefly for traveling, by rail or steamship, and for motoring or walking in the country ; but many men, who affect the English styles, do not hesitate to wear them to business.
