"WORST IS YET TO COME"
So Says McNichol No Prosperity
Until G. O. P. Rules.
"Now we hear that prosperity Is about
to perch upon the Democratlc-controllcl
country. I predict that thn worst of our
timed is yet to come and that the best
times will not return to ub again un'il
the grand old Republican party Is placed
In control not onlv In Washington, but
here In our own city."
That was the prediction made last night
by Senator McNichol, who blamed the
Blankenburs administration for the dis
tress In the city during the winter and
said that by holdlntr up of work that
could have been awarded on city improve

In vain. Benator McNichol and Congress
man Vare were the principal Breakers at
the llth annual banquet of the 21th Ward
Republican Club, which was held la.it
night In Thrush Hall, Lancaster avenue
and Hamilton fcvreet. Senator Vare sup
plemented Benator MqNichol'n remark
by declaring that Mayor Blankenbuii:
had voted for Congressmen Donahue an I
Logue and said no city In the country
had suffered bo much from Democratic
politics aa Philadelphia.
Assistant District Attorney George A
Welsh was toastmaster, and among the
speakers were CongreMman Uarrow, Or
William D. Bacon. Russell T. Vogdes,
Stacy H- White and Blake D. McCaughn,

Golf Suit for Office ami Town Wear Will lie the Proper Thing
This Summer, Fashion Uxpertx Say, But So
Will High Hals, Cttuc and S))ats.
One of these dsvs William I'enn Is going to henr such a gn-plng In the neigh
borhood of Bioad nnd Walnut stiects that he'll "ciinie off his high lioise," to to speak,
nnd fur the tlrsl time In hlstnty turn his levered licail In see what the trouble Is.
And when he commits this uiipiecedenti'd breach nf beiiilug lie will seo one of Phila
delphia's leading cltlrens dressed in n smart Piccadilly cooluiue. walking up the steps
of a prominent clubhouse, with his arm chummily entwined Hbotit that of another
leading citizen attired in a Jaunty golf habit.
Gentlemen, the experts of the fashion plate predict n wholesale Invasion of the
most exclushe parts of the city by Scotch styles. The advance guard of golf cos
tumes has alrendy reached the urban communities. The effect of golf will bo seen to
a lemarkable degice In all manner of outing npparel for men this summer,
Nor will this effect be limited to the outing clothing. It Is confidently predicted
by the fashion authorities Hint men will wear clothes savoring of the golf links to
their ofllces nnd for regular cltv pm poses as well.
But, In the same breath, these constituted nutoi rata of male modes wain us to
watih out for the concct Slinnd ganuents They Mill be eicn tnoro "nil fait" than
over befoie. So betwixt gulf ami "plug hats," the man who would be "In style" faces
a teirible ptohleni. Hete is the deadly parallel in detail:
TOP HATS VS. TWEED CAPS
Silk "Stovepipe" Will Shine Against
Checkered Scotch Golf "Lid."
Golf A heavy, Scotch tweed cap will
be the thing. The gieater the number of
checker boards that aie delicately Inter
woen In the weave and design of tbe
cap the more proper will it be A sug
gestion timidly offered at this point Is tc
get a coloied picture of Harry Lauder
and then putchase a cap n closely ie
sembllng the one he has as can be found
in this city. Other caps will bo worn, but
avoid the gaudy blue oi the tlailng yellow
unless they are combined aesthetically
and In Scotch design. "There ain't no
hats in golf."
Plcadllly-The Plcadillian will know
Immediately that theie Is only one hat for
him to wear. That one is the soft, shining,
scintillating silk "top hat." The "piopei"
man In London has worn this kind of a
bat fiom time Immemorial, almost. This
vear will offer nothing dlffeient. unless it
be In that tbe silk will be more glossy
than heretofore. "Theie ain't no caps on
the strand."
For the henedt of those who ulsh to
remain neutial, for theie will be a small
number of these, other stvles will be
worn The good, old. straw-katy and the
Panama have been granted a continued
existence. Only don't get n hat with too
high a ciown or too narrow a brim. The
correct Panamas will have n tapered
crown and a rolled bilm.
COLLARS AND CUFFS CONFLICT
Not to Mention Shirts, Which May Be
Either Neglige or Stiff.
Golf Again the genial and sensible
Scotchman comes to the icscue of a long
suffering manhood. Collais are and will
be soft. Most men will take advantage
of the latest edict to wear neglige shirts
with collais attached. Shltta will be In
plain colois or broad stripes, collais must
be eithci founded or long-pointed, while
ties should be of either brilliant plain col
ors or In flashy stripes. Bolli the large
diagonal and the Dejolnvllle. or narrow
cioss stllpes. will he In vogue.
Piccadilly What Beau Brummel would
hesitate about the kind of shirt to wear
with a morning costume? A nice, stylish,
neat shirt, either of stiff bosom or soft, Is
perfectly correct. Anything with stiff
i uffa nnd some measure of decorum Is nl
was In style. Collars must be "stand
up." with wings, while ties ais the same
as usual, something that will set off In
contrast against the shirt and coat.
The "neutinllte" will undoubtedly take
mote kindly to the shirts, collars and ties
offered In the golf styles than ho will
to the caps. A neglige shirt and a soft
collar always have a strong appeal when
the temperature is hovering somewhere
up aiound the top of City Hall tower.
One Important feature In present styles, which will liavo an appeal for all thiee
classes considered, Is the appearance, at last, of loose-tlttlng, baggy spring topcoats.
For a number of years this fitless garment, which hangs from the shoulders, has
been making a strong bid for universal ndoptlon, und it has at last succeeded. This
variation on previous styles completes tho outfit for the year.
On Piccadilly and the Strand there has been no change In style, except In colois
of tbe vest, In the last quarter of n century. In the United States there have been
frantic efforts ut originality, but all have failed. Now the correct morning costume
is a silk top hat, cutaway coat, double-breasted white vest nnd white spats. A baggy
coat, light gloves and a cane complete the outfit.
Hut, don't forget, a full-Hedged golf lajout, minus the niblick, brassle and
mashie, Is also "au fait "

STOCKINGS, SPATS, SHOES!
Socks, Vests and Rest of Equipment
Run in Oppositcs.
Golf Woolen stockings, a la golf, will
nnturally go with knickerbockers, Norfolk
coat and tweed cap. As for hpats the
thought of spats on woolen stockings with
the lest or the combination Is ludicrous
enough today, but who can say what
191H. or even August, may bring? Vests
will be equally out of place.
Oxfords ' will take the place of the
