neckties,' handkerchiefs and all the various drew accessories which the baberdasnery shops have In stock for the spring and summer season of 1012.
Among the nicest of shirt-stuffs provided are the French zephyr prints; these are more expensive than the ever-popular' madras, but they stand the torture of the laundry well and always look nobby. These promise to lead all others in English markets, and will no doubt find general favor in the United States as well.
Expensive silk shirts, from 16 to $15
of light Japanese weave, tempt the pocketbook. Semi-stiff shirts will be worn more than last summer, when everything was soft; these are provided in madras, percale and gingham, in the less expensive shirtings, made up in stripes and figures. Russian cords, made up plain and in pleats, will

continue In firor with men who can afford to buy a good garment, tike the French zephir prints, the Russian cord wears exceptionally, well and is always dressy. These will appear
mostly in stripes. The turn-back cuffs, known as the French 'cuffs, will be quite as popular in soft materials as last summer. These negligees can be purchased in various materials for from $2.50 to $5.00. Another garment which will meet
with much favor Is the silk-and-llsle,
made up soft. In solid colors and stripes, with the turn-back cuffs and detachable collars. These look quite as well as pure silk, and may be bought from $3 up. These soft shirts will doubtless outclass the semi-stiff ones six to one during the coming season. Very light
weight English wool taffetas make a a
ideal garment for hot weather wear; so does vyella flannel. The silk and linen makes up finely for semi-starched shirts, being made mostly in narrow pleats, some in white and others In contrasting colors.
In the selection of neckwear the
buyer may suit his Individual fancy without stint. The big scrolls, known
as Persian designs, made of the best grades of silk, are appearing in par
ticularly attractive manner. But the knitted stuff is Tar and away ahead
of all competitors, and will be worn
more generally then ever before.

ia sure to be a great favorite, showing the black and orange of Prince ton, the violet and white of Amherst,
the purple and gold of the Northwestern University, the maroon and white of Lafayette, etc.. countless combinations, each one of which, has its own
special significance.
Not unlike the Persian scrolls are
four-in-hands of Japanese silk in "but
terfly" designs. These will doubtl
become quite popular, and will be made op In Ascot shape a little later. One of the newest and most striking color
combinations In these big, scarfs Is
known as "smoke" and red.
Ties of solid colors will not be wanting, either; royal, purple, dark
greens, blues and reds In numerous
hades will be worn plentifully. The
basket weave in attractive stripe com
blnations will sell largely in the expensive ties.
Some Imported English neckwear Is going to attract considerable attention and will doubtless become very popu
lar with men who pay particular at
tentton to this dress accessory. These include the Bplttalsneld and the Mae clesfleld silks, made up for the most
part In Persian designs, with wide
flowing ends.
