THE COURIER. Men's Fashions for May written fob the courier. 1'he work of the artist who designs patterns for suitings is not easy. A good pattern must not bo obtrusive. It must be agreeable when seen, but above all it must not be pretty. That is an abomination to the critic of men's wear. The choice of patterns has much to do with the appearance of the wearer. A proper selection corrects the lankinees of the tall man and the tubbiness of a short one- Never before in the history of tailoring has there been so large a variety of weaves and colors. The most popular effects are in rough Scotch cheviots in fine pinchecks, stripe effects and plaids. The latter of many colors. These cloths made in the loose easy three button sack with patch pockets buttoned, a fly front vest and trousers bordering on the pegtop style, make a very neat suit. Handkerchief pockets are not put on the outside any more with frocks, cuta ways and most sacks, but there are two inside breast pockets wherein nothing of much weight or bulk must be carried or the coat will sag and bulge out of shape. The banishment of the breast pocket makes it a grave question where to carry one handkerchiefs which are now largely made in pure white, of course hem-stitched. In neckwear, collars, etc., the season is bringing many novelties. The latest fad which threatens us is the use of gold and enameled bands which loose four-in-hands and De Joinevilles. This stylo was in vogue 6omo twelve or fifteen years ago but apparently did not expire, but slumbered. The high band turn-over collar has lost ground in popular favor. There is 'talk of a collar that is to fasten alto gether at the back, like a clergyman's. Colored shirts seem to be the only proper thing for business and negligee wear. That is, the shirt with white body and patch bosoms and cuffs to match. Quiet patterns are preferred, for anything in clined to be "loud," carries date with it. The latest novelties in shoes is brown patent leather with cloth tops buttoned. L. A. B. For cl.aning the scalp, removing dand ruff, preventing the huirfrom falling out or turning gray, and promoting a luxu riant growth, no finer thing can be used than the electric treatment, given by MissDemarest at Herpolsheimer's store.
