INIIANS WEAR Mere Kales May Have Some Bright Thins This Season, COLORS REPLACE THE DULL GRAY OR BLACK Startling; taaevatlaa la Cat" af Girntsl bat the Tendency la Toward the Old Styles. What shall I wear for easterT This question, which by a kind of a fiction la supposed to be asked only by womrn, la In fart about this time of the year one of the Important problems In the minds of several thousand male scoffers, tlfouKh perhaps thoy are more discreet in discussing It. For It has come to be a settled fact that In order to be considered ' In the exclusive circles, husband and brother as welt, as wife and sister must' blossom out In new and brilliant raiment on Easter Sunday. Ths question of what to wear Is really the question what are they wearing In the east, for it Is to the east the people of the west look for their standards In clothing-. Notthat the west Is much be hind the east In adopting certain fashions or discarding them, because merchants of both sections patronise the same manu facturers, but the west Is not apt to adopt certain dogmas ef dress until they have been tried and proven popular In the east. This year Dame Fashion haa given man a variety of brightly colored garments to choose from and the general tendency appears to be away from the somber and toward the brilliant. In his business suits he Is told to select on grays or blues. Ills gloves must be gray or pearl and his hat the same shade If he would be strictly In style. The trimmings, such as the neckwear. hosiery, shirts and hatbands provide ample opportunities for bright colors, which op portunity will be embraced this spring as never before. Aside from a , desire for brilliant colors the general tendency appears to be rather towards conservatism In dress or rather a reaction from the extremes of the last few years. - 'Styles Move In Circles. "Styles go In circles," said a philosophical haberdasher discussing tha tendencies of exclusive people. "There are only seven primary colors and .tastes run from one oolor to another and then back over the same ground again. Every so often we And ourselves Just where we were a few years back. "This Is due to the desire of the exclu sive people to be different. They will begin wearing pink and In a few months the common herd catches on and wears pink too. Then In order to set themselves off from the herd the exclusive set adopts blue and for a time all Is well. Then the people adopt blue; too, and the exclusive set has to find some other color. B I say, fashions move In circles." Fashions have been to the extreme of the loose baggy effects In clothing and are now on the way; back tq. the- snug,' fitting gar ment. This season the advance has not been very marked, 'but the. tendency. Is plainly visible, , . . . . , . - . For the Bnalneaa Man. While the man wW Is a stickler for pro priety In clothing will be limited .to light grays and bluea for ordinary arid business wear, he will have a' Wide range within these limits. For the conservative man the plain goods will be the favorite, but for the youth who wants something louder all sorts of figures and weaves may be had. The tendency Is toward the hard-finish worst eds and away from the softer serges and cheviots, though both of the latter will be worn. There are large varieties of figures to select from. Plaids are beginning to wane In popularity. The cut of the coat this spring shows as much as anything else the swing of the pendulum from the extremes of the last season or, two. While there Is little change In length except, perhaps, that fewer of the extremely long ones will be seen, the big, flowing, full back la a thing of the past. The proper thing now Is a coat moderately full In the back, but drawn In slightly to fit the form loosely. . The skirt shows a tendency to flare out slightly over the hips, and Is cut either with or without a vent In the back. Double-breasted coats sre still favorites, but they will have to fight for first place with single-breasted garments. The wide effect of last year Is still retained In what Is known to the " trade as the concave shoulder. This gives the wearer the same stalwart appearance with less padding and consequently a more natural effect. There Is also a tendency toward a wider lapel on the coat. Testa with Blading. For both business and dress purposes the fancy vect Is a prime favorite and will be worn this year more extensively than ever before. In color they will follow the gen eral predilection for light gray and pearl ahades. This year the binding, which went to' an extreme In width last season, will be narrower. The fancy oraatlons which are being shown are of gray and pearl, with a very narrow black binding around the end and across the pockets. Both plain and fig ured goods are proper and many shades other than gray and pearl are being sold, especially a brown body with white binding, which seems to be popular. Frock Coats Hold Oa. . The frock coat, both for dress and busi ness wear, maintains a dignified .and con eervatlve attitude toward the changes that are going on In other lines of masculine wear. The double-hreasted Prince Albert eonservstlve In length, will be the most popular for dress purposes. For business use the single-breasted Prince Albert, about knee length, will be the proper thing. The usual accompaniment of light trousers and tall hat are demanded In the east, but In the west the derby Is permissible except In the most exclusive circles. For afternoon street wesr the Rngllsh walking coat of conservative length will be worn, though It cannot lnv claim this year as a rival of the Prlnc Alhrt. ' Fall Drr . The same tendency away from Innova tion Is noticeable In evening dress. The only change this year Is toward a broader shoulder and a slightly wider lapel. The white waistcoat la gradually growing In popularity and Is surely replacing the black vest for strictly dress occasions. The change has already been affected In the east and has made enough headway In the ex clusive sets of western cities to Insure Its permanent adoption here. It Is predicted the time will come when the black vest wltl be considered almost Improper for full dress occasions. Whether or not this time ever comes It Is certain the white waistcoat Is steadily growing In favor with the well dressed public Coat end Treasers Only. The two-piece outln; suit will lose none of Its popularity If ante-season predictions of clothes are true. It will take on many varieties of form and be very diversified as to material. As In business suits, hard finish goods will be popular and will vie with the light flannels for first plaoe. Of course comfort Is the first considers tlou and loosely . built' garments will be the only thing DouUe-breaeied sacks will predom inate, though single-breasted coats will also be popular. Bo far from the seashore and Its multi tude of summer resorts the outing suit In the west must also do service In most cases ss a business suit; conse quently there le a tendency toward combin ing the main featuree of the two. Hence the light, soft flannels are not as generally worn here as they are In tke east, popular favor turning toward thin worsteds and cheviots. Waea. a the Mnks. Oolfers who do not care to follow the popular style of the regulation plaid golf suit will continue to wear the loosely-fitting outing coat with light flannel trousers. En tire suits of flannel will be worn consider ably and will probably, before the end of the season, take the place to a very great extent of the genuine golf suit. The tendency away from the "fads" In men's attire is marked In the case of suitings, and the old golf suit Is likely to follow the bicycle suit Into oblivion. Correct Thins; la Caps. Even In caps the Influence of golf styles le being relegated to th rear In favor of the automobile type, though one of the popular creations Is In the nature of a combination of the two. This Is really the very latest and It, consists of a cap' modeled somewhat after the golf cap of former years, with the addition ef ear tabs, which, when not In use, are buttoned up over the top of the cap with three but tons. The eartabs are contributions of the autolsts and they will be much worn by machine drivers during the season. The material Is an unusually fine-grained mo cha or similar, material. Corduroy caps with small visors and large, round tops after the Prince Henry style are beginning to take the place of the leather cape worn for the last two or three years. Hats for the Men Folks. In hats the only thing for the dressy youth Is the new shape telescope with a gaudy hat band. The new hat Is modeled after the style that was- so popular last year, but the crown Is higher and the brim slightly wider. The most stylish shade, as In most other articles of masculine wear, Is pearl or light gray. These shades have the decided advantage this year of harmonising with almost any color or com bination of colors. For a ' quiet effect a hat band of a different shade of the body color or a plain black band Is preferred. The combination of pearl and black will be popular with a large majority of the older customers. As In the novelty shapes, so In the staple fedora, pearl or light gray Is the only thing. In Its proportions the shape of the fedora of this year does not differ much from last year, except that It follows the general . rule that the crown Is a little higher In proportion to the width o the brim. The light body of the hat la set oft well with a black hat band. Bands Make the Rat. . The fancy hat band which made Its de but last season bids fair to be one of the most popular of the recent Innovations in men's dress. It is especially sought after by the youth whose mind Is bent largely on securing the most nobby effects In clothing. The band comes separately from the hat and one of Its advantages Is It can be changed during the season, giving the wearer practically- a ntjw hat. - The bands retail at most of the stores for fifty cents and are very easily attached to the hats. The manufacturers seem te .have searched through the markets for the brightest and gaudiest of colors when they selected the material for the bands. They may be ' found In all colore, hues and ahades and the figuring le not limited at all. There are polka .dot bands, plaid bands and stripes narrow and wide, so that the most fastidious can surely find something to please his sense of coler and design In the various varieties on exhibition. Underwear . la dandy. The more or less gaudy tendency of men's clothing crops out even in under wear. In which bright colors are taking the place of the quiet effects of former years. Pink, blue, lavender and even pur ple are some of the startling shades which are displayed In the show windows. ' Back In the effete east they are- spring ing something new in underwear In the shape of a combination between the old style under garments and pajamas. The shirt Is built like a coat and goes on like one Instead of being drawn on over the head. The pants are only knee ' length and those . who have tried them profess they are a great Improvement over the old fashioned garment. They are said to be cooler In summer than the old kind and do not roll up around ths edgns and bag at the knees like the longer klr.d. Bo far the fashion .has not struck Omaha men very hard and dealers report very light sales. A' heavier run Is predicted, however, during the hot months, when It is - asserted the true value of the new wrinkle will be manifest to everyone. SHOES TO HAVE POINTED TOES Change la Shape Noted la Footgear for the Beasoa Not Pro aoaaeed. The pointed toe Is again In the field for popular favor with the shoe-buying public, and, while It . seems doubt ful If the style will. go to the extreme of eight or ten years ago, still the gen eral effect of the fad haa been to narrow the last. , There Is a vast difference be tween the pointed toe of 1906 and the needle toe of ISM, however, and In the minds of those who have aome regard for comfort the difference Is to favor of the present fad. The old. needle toe converged Inward from the ball of the foot on both sides with the Inevitable result the toes were crowded together in a very unnatural and painful manner. The present popular last demands a straight edge on the In side of the shoe, the outside only bending Inward enough to form the point. This Is more of a foot form last, and. It Is declared by those who wear them, is as easy on the foot as was the old broad toe last. One other difference between the old and the new Is the drop toe effect of the pres ent style. The old needle toe had 'an up ward bend, but the new style Is perfectly flat, the toe being on a level as nearly as possible with the ball of the foot. The present shoe Is considerably shorter than the old pointed shoe. This Is possible be cause the style conforms more closely to the natural shape of the foot. While the tan shoe has firmly established Itself in ths hearts of . the , publie for hot weather wear, It will not be aa popular this year as It was a few years ago. It will be worn. It Is true, to a great extent, especially during the heat of the summer, but It will not be able to displace the patent leather and enameled article In popular favor. The enameled shoe has come to be recognised as a labor-saving device and as such It Is strongly en trenched In the minds ef ehoe buyers and more than usual of the spring trade Is In this kind of material. While the enameled article Is popular, Its direct onrKslte the dull finish or gun mstal calfskin Is beginning to have a ran. It te an Indication, according to ehoeologlsts. of the coming reaction away from the highly-polished shoe. This change In the popular fancy la not due to be come marked for a few months, but It Is aaid to be surely on ths way. It s due to the httemot of the exclusive set to find something that has not been vulgar' Ised by popular use. As to high or low shoes the wearer can suit his Individual fancy. Oxfords will be extremely popular again this year, more so probably than the high shoes. Most of the high shoes are of the Blucher type. SHIRTS ARE SOFT AND PLAIN Fashion Promlsea gome Comfort for Man Daring the Hot Weather. As a compromise to comfort the man of today has adopted the negligee or aeml negllgee shirt aa the proper thing In the warmer months. The falling off In the sale of stiff bosom shirts has been so great aa to put them out of the running for popular fancy. The haberdasher only shows them when-requested to do so. In their place haa come In the box-pleats, which will be ex tremely popular during the spring and sum mer. The uppleated shirt Is also a heavy seller, but for a dressy effect the box-pleat Is the winner by all odds. The tendency is rather, toward a smaller, dainty pleat with a narrow fold rather than tha broad fold which was In vogue last year. This gives practically a single thlcknesa of the cloth. which will be appreciated lnot weather garments. The coat shirt, which opens all the way down Is an established staple now and the wise dealer exhibits nothing else to his customer. In general the popular shirt Is not at all gaudy In color. White aa a background, with small figures or dainty stripes, are very much In favor this season. What Is known to the trade aa self -colors, or figures of the same oolor aa the body of the gar ment. Is also considered quite the thing In the shirt line. For those who desire more color than the white body allows there la the pink shirt or the heliotrope or the brown from which to choose. Some of these are figured with woven plaids In self colors. ' For extremely hot weather soft, un starched shirts, with or without collars and cuffs, will be worn a good deal. There are some exquisite creations In these goods In the. local haberdashery stores, and it Is little wonder the publlo Is being drawn away from the hotter starched garments. One of the new details In the soft shirt Is the reverse cuff, giving the effect of an or dinary cuff turned back over the wrist. They are confined, of course, strictly te the unstarched garments, but appear to be very popular among these. Of course, stiff bosoms are not to be en tirely Ignored or relegated to the dress suit class. Most of them this spring are of the open front style and In color and texture they follow closely the same lines as their negligee brothers. The strictly correct style . has attached cuffs, though the de tachable cuff la popular among a large class of people. V COLLARS FOR THE MALE NECK Dame Fashion Shows Little Tendency to Chaage This Article of Attire. In collars there . Is a contest for su premacy . between the new styles of the turnover and the medium tall winged col lar, a, The turnover collar, on account of the . comfort derived In wearing It, will be very popular. The last year's style has been modified because of the general move ment toward larger neckties. One of the leaders In the . double collar Is medium In height, with considerable space between the points to enable It to be worn with large, neckties. For fat men with short necka Dame Fashion mercifully permits the use of the extremely low turnover,, but for persons of ordinary build a taller article Is demanded. In standing collars the wing eotlar ap pears to be the strictly proper thing. There are many varieties of these, made to fit all sorts of necks end for all kinds of dress. Straight fronts and slightly flared fronts will also be worn to some extent. NECKTIES AREJO BE BROADER fiomethlnsr In Width Added to Bow and Foar-ln-Haads for the lenses. Neckties, both four-ln-hand and how ties, . will be a little wider this year than last. There Is also a marked tendency toward strong colors. No color line Is drawn, however, and almost everything goes. There are plaids, polka dots, stripes and small figures of all designs. For the staid citizen some very beautiful creations In plain or slightly figured material are offered. Here, as In shirts, the "self color" fad prevails. Lavender and hello- trope with figures worked In by means of a closer weave are some of the more modest designs In colors. Pastelle shades In all colors are also something of a fad In the neckwear department. There are rather modest shades of all the popular colors and they appear to have struck the fancy of discriminating buyers. The four-ln-hand and the bow, the latter almost two Inches wide, are both pre. scribed for business wear. With frock coats, of course, only the Ascot Is per mlsslble, HOSIERY IS T0BE BRILLIANT Man Mav Deck .HIa Feet aad Ankles In Bright Colora aad Fancy . Patteraa. ' Gay colors may be had In men's hose aa well as In pearjy all other articles of clothing. The tendency this year is toward strong colors less sharply contrasted. They come In plaids, stripes and checks. Plain colors sre also popular, and while tans and blacks will be worn by the conserva tive element, they will not be considered In good taste for every day wear by those who pay attention to the dictates of fashion. This applies particularly to xthe man who wears Oxfords and exposes a goodly portion of his hosiery to the publlo gaze. To the delight of the mosquito, the open work hose will still be In good form during the summer. There Is something of tendency awsy from it,, but this tendency has not become strong enought yet to re strict the use of these fancy creations entirely to the vulgar. JEWELRY FAD NOT POPULAR Mea Little Inclined to Bedeck Them, selves with Special Eaater Gewgaws. The Easter Jewelry fad naa not gained very serious proportions among the man In Omaha and when they buy It Is usually for some feminine friend. For the adorn ment of the men there are special novel ties in charms and scarf pins which weU with the Easter season. These ar usually In the form of eggs, chicks or rabbits. The more serious phase of Karter Is represented by religious emklums. such as the qrots, but evidently moat of the purchasers consider the day a festival rather than a religious day and they buy accordingly. Some very pretty watch charms are oa the market with the Eeeter sentiment In terwoven in them, but they find, s Very re suicled sale La the west.
