Nobby Apparel for Young America

Copyrighted, 1811, by X. 3. Robinson.

HE boy is father to the man'

so an old proverb says. At any rate, the American boy Is catered to by clothiers and haberdashers, batters

and boot-makers, quite as carefully as

is bis daddy, even though ccmpara-

jtlvely few of the various trades carry Juvenile departments. Probably the best place to provide for the wants of

Itbe growing youth, from Infancy to young manhood, is at one of the big ready-made stores that make a specialty of hoys' apparel. In almost any one of these may be found practically everything the youth needs for school. Dating or dress wear. Of course, many boys, like their fathers, have their clothes "made to order"; but there Is practically no difference between the Custom-made and "ready-made" boyish Styles for the fall and winter. For the lad from 12 to 14 years old, (he most popular everyday suit for fall

BT OBVUUB O. YICrOB

Is a double-breasted blue or gray coat

with trousers to match, knee length.

The time when the boy abandons bis

knickerbockers and dons long "pants'

depends not bo much -upon his age as

upon his height; but the period usu

ally arrives when he is about 15 years

old. When he attains to this impor

tant event, he exchanges bis double-

breasted coat for a single-breasted one. He also lays aside his blouse, puts on a shirt and suspenders, and wears a vest for the first time. Saxonies and cheviots, casslmeres and worsteds, are made up In enticing styles for -the boys this fall, mostly In grays and blues, the former predominating. For the late fall and the winter brown will be the most popular color, some plain, some In attractive plaids, with Just a suggestion of red or other color. Many of the grays are In stripes or diagonals, and some In plaids of lighter shade. For the little fellows, 10 yc&i'tf ofj

age or less, Russian blouses are au fait; even two-year-olds don "rompers" and blouses. The once familiar kilts are no longer in evidence. The older boy wears shirtwaists, too, made from cambric, percales and China silk. Ills neckties are just like dad's, except they are a trifle shorter and narrower. -Socks for little ones, of knit or crocbetted worsted, are so attractive that many mothers buy them for the girls as well. The older lad who has not yet put away bis knickers

wears a nice ribbed stocking of cotton or woolen, black,. In medium weight for fall and heavier for winter. Good, serviceable stockings of this class cost about 35 cents per pair, the price varying a few cents with the size. Some clothiers just now are showing a fine line of double-breasted Norfolk jackets with trousers to match, for boys small and big; they are made from merges, tweeds and cassimeres, in grays, bluea and browns. For the

smaller chaps Russian blouses and sailor suits- prevail, made of cloth for fall and winter, although some parents prefer to dress the little fellows In wash fabrics the year round, depending more -upon the underclothing for necessary warmth. Among the Xorfolks axe many very pretty patterns In a small black-and-white check, and others In a broader check with a silk thread, which gives the garment a decidedly "tony" effect. " The boy who goes Into society If he is 14 years of age or more, wears what is known as a Tuxedo suit; this is not like an adult's Tuxedo. The coat is practically a one-button cutaway; the vest Is full dress, with V-shaped opening and four buttons; the trousers are long or knee-length according to the height of the wearer. These suits are made of black unfinished worsted or Venetian' cloth. A white starched Bhirt, with regulation poke" collar and white bow tie, black stockings and patent leather pumps, complete the costume. Hats galore are provided for Young America; the bigger boys wear all sorts of headgear, Just like their fathers or older brothers; for the smaller ones a popular fall bat Is the "khaki," much like those worn by the Boy Scouts. . These are light brown In color, made of khaki cloth or linen. The little chaps are provided with the "Tyrolean," in colors, with contrasting ribbons. A hat which will undoubtedly "take" greatly with the boys this fall is the "English walking hat," made of cloth, with soft, rounded crown and roll brim, and band of the same material. These hats are well made .and will stand for almost any sort of usage. They are mostly in grays or black-and-white check designs. , Another hat, more dressy In appearance than the one just described, is shaped much like Father's "King Alphonso," with telescope crown and flat

brim, in grays and browns. Caps, of course, are always in demand, and may be bought in infinite variety of color and combinations. Shoes, for fall and winter wear, are built for the most part on lasts of broad, comfortable shape ; the soles are moderately heavy; the heels are low and flat. Extra heavy soles are provided for skating shoes, made for the most part In calfskin with the same broad, flat heel, to allow the clamps of the skate to secure a firnj hold.
