T11U NOUKOMC DAILY NKVV8 : FK1DAY , MAIIOII 1(1 ( , ! OC THE TIE WILL BE KEYNOTE FOR MAN'S CLOTHING. GREEN AND PURPLE SHADES Men's Trousers Will Not be Pegtop Again How Philadelphia Tailors are Trying to Make the Fashions for This Country. The tlo will govern the clothes of the well-dressed man this spring and summer. It Is the keynote of his dress , it must be a light tie , ranging In color from gray through green to , . , ( < * ' 'Xy purple and arrange the rest of his cos- 1 i tumo to harmonize with It. Even his socks must bo of the same hue ns his tlo. Ills hat will bo cither of soft felt or straw. If felt he will find that to be Inconspicuously dressed ho must wear a light gray or some other shade J. which will satisfy the demand for . light colors , with a telescoped crown J.i. and slightly crimped brim. In the \\i. \ \ slraws the plain sailor of smooth . . straw will predominate , although In the east rough weaves promise to bo popular. The pauama continues In favor and will bo of standard shapes. A considerable drop In the price of first class Panamas promises to make this hat more widely worn than over. Other soft straws , such as the Leg horn , are also encroaching ou Iho fa vor of Ihe pauama. Black will bo practically the only color In derbies. The collar will bo Iho low double style which prevailed last summer at all Informal occasions. For more elab orate costuming the wing collar Is proper. This collar Is now recognized for wear with tuxedos although It has failed to make good with formal evenIng - Ing dress. The tlo will bo the keynote of the costume. Tints of green and purple will predominate , and the gray and "Alice" or "Longworth" blue will en joy considerable popularity. Wide four-in-hands will prevail. Shaped string ties will also be correct. Gray nscots will como to the fore on all oc casions which demand a frock coat. The coat will bo long and either single - glo or double-breasted. The notice able features are the long lapel and low opening , showing Ihe lop of the vest , slight shaping at the waist line and slight spring to the skirts. The deep vent either In the center or at. the sides will bo used somewhat The shoulders will not bo so broad as for merly. The walstcoal will be single- breasted and cut rather low. Fancy vests will bo worn In the west. Trousers will bo full but straight. The spring hip and pegtop effect are relegated to Ihe past. There will belittle little , If any difference In width from the thigh to the ankle. On outing trousers the cuff will bo employed but it will not be so prevalent as in for mer years. j Shotes will be both black and tan / , * " with a tendency to the dull finishes of ' , the leather. In high shoes buttons will be the rage , and some of Ihe younger set promise to hold with the button half shoe , but the more effec tive lace fastening will bo the favorite In Oxfords. Hosiery will be in solid colors and materials. Dotted and striped socks will be on the market with the open work goods but are losing In popular ity slowly. Gauze is the most proper thing. The colors In hosiery will de pend upon the shade of the tie. The overcoat will be light gray , broad In the shoulder , slightly shaped In the waist and daring jn the skirts , which fall a little below the knee. It will button even lower than the coat and with a deep vent In the back of the coat Is the most distinctive gar ment of the year. The plain box crav- anotto remains In favor as a raincoat and will bo worn very much. The top coat will liold Its own. GAY CLOTHES FOR MAN. Philadelphia Tailors to Lead Revolt Against the Sombre and Sedate. Gray evening suits for men , heavily braided day and walking suits , now art ideas In legs and sleeves , curios as vest buttons and gay colors for fancy vests these are some of the Ideas that the merchant tailors of Philadel phia are advancing In their revolt against London styles. War is on to the needlepoint and the Quaker city knights of the thimble and shears are calling on all true patriots to stand by them in their effort to create a gay and good-humored American style of dresa for men in. opposition to the Boinbre costumes In dieted every year by "Lunnon. " To give their now movement an Im petus the Associated Merchant Tail ors of Philadelphia are conducting an exhibition In one of the display rooms of a Broad street hotel. To show how much greater Is the merit of the "New American styles" over the English creations , about fifty London suits are exhibited alongside those made hero. The English suits are all upon the general lines that have prevailed for half a century stiff , somber and un compromising. If this exhibition brings the success that Its promoters expect , the Philadelphia tailors Intend to become the fashion setters for the nation. In one case every button Is a hand- carved dog's head , and In another golden half eagles are used. In the wide variety displayed there IB a four- buttoned white waistcoat and another of buff , all ablossom with green flour do Us. Braid Is a strong feature of the dross suit It Is of cording and ruim on all the seams of the coat and Irons ITS. The coat Is lined with gray ullk ! of a shade slightly darker than the outer material. ONE MILLION MORE. Codicil to Marshall Field's Will Made Additional Provision for Widow , Hov.

Unmindful of the Cold. In splto of hlH yearn , Perry IH as halo and hearty as a man of ' 10. When other people wore huddling up In their ovprcoats today Perry was braving the winlry blasts like n buck moose , lie looked the typical frontiersman.

He came to Sioux City llils morning from Emerson , Neb. , and wlillo trans acting business In one of Ihi ! HtoreH took a fancy to a letter carrier who ontoroil Iho store on his round. "Say , follor , " said Perry , beckoning with a linger. "Hullo , old wild and wooly , " said the letter carrier. "What d'yo want ? A letter from your banker or one. from your bcHt girl ? Wo keep all kinds on tap hero. " Tackles Mall Carrier. "I want a wife , " said Perry , with n serious face. "You do ? Whoso ? Ha ! Ha ! IIn ! " chortled the mall carrier , laughing at his own Joke.

You're so sharp , wonder you don't cut yourself. You're a hollow ground razor , Hint's what you aro. You don't need no grindstone. Go away , young man ; you make mo tired. " Nothing Doing Anywhere.

Now the woman I want must like music and take a joke. What's the use of always being grouchy , that's what I say. Why , wo can have all kinds of fun , mo playing the flddlo and she sitting acrost from mo , knitting or sowing or some such thing. " "How old must the woman bo ? " "I don't care how old she Is. But say , feller , she must not belong to any church. No , sir ; I don't want any wife of inlno to belong to a church. I like to enjoy my joke , I do , and take a laugh now and then. I don't want a long face all the time. " Perry has been a resident of Emerson - son , Nob. , for the last forty years and has often visited Sioux City , where ho does his trading.

The American Beet Sugar company saw nt oncn that If the Standard com pany erected a factory hero the Grand Island factory would get no boots from thin locality , whence It has been draw ing a largo part of Its supply during Iho liiHt three years. The agents of Iho American company got In their work very effectively with a number of the farmers who had contracted to grow beets for the Standard and suc ceeded In getting a sulllclont number of them to cancel their contracts with Iho Standard company. As soon as that was done the Standard company announced that no sugar factory would bo built hero this year. Then the agents of both Iho American and the Standard companies reduced the price of boots hero from ? 5 to $ ' 1.50 per ton and started In to obtain contracts lo supply their respective factories at Grand Island and at Ames. Now Gu- genhelmor has an agent hero with a proposition that ho will complete a million-dollar factory hero for opera tion this fall If the citizens here will put In ? 7.ri,000 worth of land nt cur- rout prices and take stock In the com pany for the same and ho guarantees to pay | 5 per ton for all boots , and a 10 per cent dividend to the stockhold ers. The matter Is being worked up and the probabilities are that they will have a factory In splto of the American and Standard companies. A DAUGHTER. Mr. and Mrs. E. J.
