Millinery-
FASHION'S DECREE FOR COMING SEASON
Omaha's Tailor and Milliner Tell
of the Hewcst Things la Men's
Apparel and Women's
Ileada-ear.
Th Easter season, known from time
Immemorial as the sure opening of spring
time. Is but one week away, and romlng
hand In hand with It la the occasion for
the always gorgeous display of new wear
ing apparel. ' For over two months past
tailors and milliners have been busily en
gaged In making preparations for this fes
tival of show and now everything Is In
readiness for the ever eager public to array
Itself as Its judgment decides best.
A big demand has been made on the
men's outfitters for novelty suitings, and
from what can be learned th grey clothes
In 'double-breasted style will be most In
evidence. It has been a busy season so
far, and If future business Is to be judged
by what has just passed, all the garment
makers will have their hands full, a the
Easter tide Is only the forerunner and
marks but the opening of a season bright
on all sides for the merchants.
Milliners hav had but little cause to
complain, and but for a number of slightly
cool days the weather man has planned
everything to their advantage. Show 'win
dows and rases are aglow with these fairy
designs and artistic creations' In headgear
for the women. The styles tend to the
large, flat crowns, while the trimmings are
of the usual feather and flower effects, sr
ranged amid numberless yards of varied
colored chiffon.
It la the earnest prayer of every one that
Easter Sunday will prove' to be one of
sunshine and will be the real ushering In of
spring. '
Mr. E. II. Wilson, manager for the Mnc
Carthy Tailoring company, when' asked
about goods and styles for this spring,
Said: "Suitings and trouserings for the
spring and summer show a greater variety
of choice than for any recent season. The
fashion centers of the east have prescribed
that gun-metal grey shall be the leading
shade; it is to be the World's fair color.
Suitings, overcoatings, trouserings, shirts,
ties, hose. In fact almost everything wear
able, is made In the'' gun-metal shade. Thus,
we cater to the war spirit that Is ever
within u. . . ..
"A new thing that has come out of the
east this season, and Is gaining great popu
larity, Is the business frock. It is a
pleasing combination of cutaway and frock,
designed especially for business wear, and
lends dignity to the wearer. For a man of
medium height this cost Is cut thirty-seven
Inches long, th fronts but slightly cut
away, and lapels are long and narrow. It
has an out-breast pocket, hand pockets In
the skirt, and a flap-covered ticket pocket
In the-waist scam. Edges and seams are
single stitched one-sixteenth Inch.
"It Is at Its best In grey worsted, plain
or' fancy.
"After the gun-metals follows an endless
variety of pleasing browns and soft-toned
blacks and whites; in stripes and plaids
from shades subdued, to those of biasing
splendor; and, perhaps beat of all, the blue
in serges and cheviots of sheared and un
sheared finish.
"The coat that seem to have caught on
best IA Omaha Is the hew double-breasted
three-button sack. ' This coat, ' If properly
cut and made, -is a loose, easy-fitting, com
fortable feeling creation, with long shapely
lnpelst moderately wide, athletlo appearing
shoulder, with but little padding, and th
collar, put on with infinite care, Is straight
standing, and fits the shirt collar closely.
Th edges are single-stitched one-eighth
Inch, and seams are corded to match.
"The leading fashion plate show nobby
Single-breasted sacks, of the. three, and
f pur-button kind; shoulders are moderately
wide, and backs, shaped slightly, are fin
ished with two and a .half-Inch vent in
center seam. For the young man the sack
coat Is cut moderately short and the trou
sers, If the material be Scotch, cheviot,
flannel or homespun, moderately wide In
the hips,, tapered to small .bottoms and
finished with a two-Inch roll.
"For early .and mid-summer wear the
clean, cool, comfortable, Canadian crashes
and hand-made Irish homespuns will be
much worn.
"Vests usually are out moderately high
and peep slightly over the coat's lapels.
Worn with the double-breasted sack, they
are Invariably, single-breasted, with or
without a collar, aa the wearer electa. With
the coat single-breasted the vest may be
double-breasted. "
"A greater latitude Is possible this season
In rain coatings; because your talloit if he
be up-to-date, may have any suiting or
overcoating rain proofed with 'but Uttle
trouble, delay or expense. In making the
top coat Is where the artlstlo tailor shines.
Cut wide, loose and easy, of moderate
length, with collar of the same material
and of the neck-hugging kind, It Is one of
the nobbiest and nattiest garments made.
"Linings are of fine serges, alpaccas or
silk; and, If the tailor heeds hla patron's
comfort, they are light in weight, soft and
flexible, thus making the garment Ideally
comfortable far warm weather wear.
For genteel business wear no handsomer
suit has yet been devised, say Helgren tt
Giadmann, tailors at Sut South Sixteenth
street, than the three-button cutaway frock
with hip flap and patched on breast pock
ets, vest made double-breasted. The suit la
mad from a fancy cheviot.. For general
business the double-breasted sack,, made
from a cheviot and worn with a alngle
brcaated, no collar, fancy vest, Is decidedly
swell for th early spring. The three-button
and four-button sack suits are un
qualifiedly handsome whether made
throughout from the same material or with
a vest made from a fancy vesting. For day
dress, whether for morning or afternoon, Is
confined to the double-breasted frock suit.
and Is, we believe, more pleasing and at
tractive now than It haa been In any pre
vious season. The favorite top coat of the
season will be the Chesterfield and will be
more generally worn than any other. It Is
nearly but not quite straight, hanging In
the back, and Is of medium length. The
roll is plain If the collar Is of velvet, but If
tho collar Is of tbe material the allk ex
tends to the edge.
Mr. J. A. Kervan, merchant tullor at 1316
Fa mam street save: "This season's most
popular suits for young men will be the
four-button sacks, while the two and
three-button double-breasted sacks will be
a great favorite by many. These will be
made with wide sloping shoulders, and If
the customer has not the desired form the
tailor haa to do the rest. I had a customer
not long ago with 34 breast, 29 waist, who
wanted to look like a John L. Sullivan. Ii(
that case the tailor has to build the coat
out to make the man. The cutaway frock,
or. aa we call It. the English walking coat,
will be worn by many this spring. For day
weddings, receptions, ' formal dinners and
theater parties the frock Is and always will
be In good taste. In th way. of spring
overcoats, the short box or top coat and
Chesterfield seem to be the favorites, made
quite loose-fitting. The gooa tills spring
are black and white overplaida, Scotch
suiting siid EukI1Ii worsteds, bUvk mid
white effects and gcay mixtures."
These are gala.daVs. for the .fair sex. th
