Show Ij New Things in Fall Haberdashery By CHARLES W. GAIiLOWAY. I fnp HOTJSAND PLAITS is ono of j! I tho names applied to the nov- H elty of the season in shirts, j At first the shirt which is, as tho name implies, mado up with a i bosom of innumerable pleats, came I out in plain white only, but it vras i soon followed with tho same style iu fancy patterns. Tliis one is said to be certain of an excellent run 'early this fall. One can be had at prices varying from $2 to .$3.50, and it Is said that a line is in process of preparation that will sell at $1.50. Of tho plaited varieties varie-ties there are some others that are suro to be popular. One is a combination, as a shirt with cuffs and front of different material than tho bo(bv, is called. This ono not only has plaited front, but also plaited cuffs, and the body is of a French novelty in a contrasting con-trasting color. According to somo authorities, au-thorities, stiff front shirts will again come into voguo. In some quarters they have been favored, and it is ox-pected ox-pected by many that this stylo will bo more popular as tho season advances. Worn with a vest, a stiff bosom shirt presents a smooth, clean front that no plaited or nogligeo can possibly present. Thoso who do not look with, favor upon tho stiff front shirt will, during tho forthcoming season, cling to the plaited variotics, of which, there are an endless array to bo had. Madras and percales are the favorite materials. Of the bottor grado madras the French novoltlon nro vory much sought after. Striped pattorus lead. ThiB is in line with tho vopjuo for which silk shirts of tho paHt season were responsible, Of silks it may bo said that they 'will not bo a great factor fac-tor this fall, becauso tlioy are essentially essen-tially a. summor shirt, and another reason is a scarcity of silks. Tho stripes of this fall are ovon louder than thoso of past seasons, in fact, all haberdashery is loudor. Tho reason for this is t'liat wo havo a somber suit season. With mon wearing tho plainer clothes, tho haberdashery may bo more colorful, though not; violent. Such colors as rose, pink, hollo, appear in most showings for fall. Tho small oponing in tho vest permits a range of colorings and fancy pnttonin which a larger ono might forbid. Gross stripes appear in many of the pattornn. Ro-vorting Ro-vorting again to the 7)Iaited shirts, it ought to bo said in that; connection that in many of these shirts made for fall the plaits do not run down to the waist or below tho waist. This is to prevent bulging whon tho wearer sits down, and as ho will woar a vest, tho fact that tho plaits stop a little bolow half tho distance from tho nock to the waist is unseen. For full dress, tho fine plaits will not bo worn, though tho3 may bo worn with perfect propriety pro-priety with tho Tuxedo coat. "With tho4 full dress a white piquo shirt, plaited and with ombroiderod figures, will, it is sain1, bo the favorite The long point collar, not the same as the ono which has had such a roign of popularity, but ono mado along similar linos, that is, in respect to the long points which fall upon tho shirt front, the principal difference being that tho collar will bo highor, is ex-poctod ex-poctod to lead, with tho cutaway collar a closo second. Collars with theso general characteristics are adapted to tho Homi-wido four-in-hands, which will bo much in uso this fall. Madras collars with self stripes aro expected to bo strong. Cravats, too, wijl incline in-cline to the larger patterns and bnghtor colors. Among tho leaders may bo noted some largo medallions, roses and noppies. Foulards iu an almost endless end-less array of spots and dots aro expected ex-pected to continue strong and some neat plaids aro said to bo well in the lead. Subdued Bulgarian colorings aTo taken to kindly, following tho Bulgarian Bulgar-ian crazo of tho soason just passed. A bow tic with ends plaited with fine plaits at tho cuds, vertical!' whon it is tied, is to be worn with plaited shirt and Tuxodo. Thero has been something in the naturo of a revolution in nockwear. Largo shapes havo come with von-gcance, von-gcance, oven in tho half dollar scarfs. Tho outlook at prosent is favorablo to plain bright colors. These in every possible weave will be shown. An economic condition is responsible for this. A striko in the silk mills has' had the effect of putting plain colors again into general uso for neckwear. The variety of colorings will bo almost endless. Tho nattier bluo is toned to both lighter and deeper shadings. There will bo various shadings of peacock pea-cock blue and green, sapphire blue and green, champagne and now poach blow. There will also bo a now shado of moss grcon, toning to an olive. Ono of tho most attractivo new shades ib betwoon a wino and magonta, especially adapted to men's nockwear. Ono special weave is a'peau do soio, with a Luasino finish. Anothor weave which Is coining to the front is a plain color dull satin, also with a Xdiesino finish. Crepe failles and botigalincs will, bo as popular as cvor. . Another shape that will bo soon this fall is made to tic into what is familiarly fa-miliarly called "tho onco over.". Tho large end is brought to a point in tho editor and prcssod out vory wide, to resomblo tho old-fashioned imperial. All this rofors to popular priced neckwear. neck-wear. In tho finer grades, most of which nro imported, somo novelties will be shown. Ono of these is called a rainbow drop. On plain ground is a largo indistinct splash of! coloring forms, narrowing down to a fino invisible in-visible showing of fancy coloring with more of the ground showing through. Tho finer grades aro largely of foreign origin. Men's hoso for fall will continue to bo all of plain colors. Black, blue, tan and gray are tho leading shades, and it is said that silk hoso aro principally in demand, with tho finer lislo and mercerized in second placo. Some whito hoso will bo worn by tho younger elomont, who took up tho fad during tho past summer. Tho loading gloves will bo gray, mocha and tan capes. Suodo kazan and chamois wiH also bo favored. Plain and ombroiderod backs will rival each other and thero is apparently no reason to beliovo that cither will ' lead. For evening woar whito silk gloves aro the thing. Tho one-button glovo continues to bo tho favorite in America. Tho tondency toward lighter weight underwear has boon growing for some seasons, and it is now said to havo culminated in the lighter stuffs being used oxtonsivoly by a largo porcontago of tho people. It is a peculiar fact, yot truo, that in tho west and middlo "west about 65 per cent of tho mon woar union suits, while in the east just tho roverso, 05 per cent woar two-piece two-piece suits. Tho closed or near closed crotch is tho favorite While light weight underwear may bo said to bo popular, there is a demand for tho athletic ath-letic kind, to tho exclusion of other styles. Tho kind with the full length drawers and sleeves of tho knitted varies va-ries ty, which fits snugly, is favored by many. A display of handkerchiefs for tho forthcoming season, which recently appeared, ap-peared, was made up cntireb' of fancy handkerchiefs. There wcro borders and fancy borders. It seemed that tho moro pattern that could bo placed into in-to tho handkerchief, the better. This may bo taken to indicate fairly the trend in handkerchiefs. It is believed that tho fancy patterns will bo strongly strong-ly in uso with the bost drosscrs; Very littlo jewelry will suffice to givo the mark of tho fashionablo man. With plenty of color protruding from the man's attire, supplied by his haberdashery, haber-dashery, jewelry ia not necessary to complete tho offect. Tho scarf pin and tho slender watch chain suffice. Good tasto in making tho combinations is the cssontinl thing to bo tastily and stylishly attired, and as tho accessories supply tho variety, hero is whero thoughtfulncss is required, that whon tho various articles of attire arc worn, thoy always blend into an effect that i is pleasing. |
