Spring and Summer Day
which gave way to a certain extent last
year, has been entirely eliminated in
the spring and summer styles, and
nothing remains that the most fastid
ious can complain at.
Plainness is the order of the season.
This is not only true as to materials,
but is also true of cut and trimmings.
The objective point in fashionable gar
ments will be pleasing proportions,
graceful shapes, and rich but unob
trusive material and trimmings. The
correct coat will be neither extremely
long or extremely short-; trousers will
lie neither large nor small, in fact ex
tremes have been elim.nated in every
form of garment.
Business suits, for which the demand
is always largest, will be largely on
the sack pattern, and the popular suck
will be double-breasted, made with n
center seam in the back. They will be
slightly drawn in at th waist, but not
close fitting, large enough at the hips
nnd in the seat to hang free, and in
length will be about six inches less
than one half the wearer's height for
and Evening Dress Suits.
arc worn for business purposes. The
cutaways will be decidedly proper aa
a business suit, but will not be great
ly worn except among the wealthier
classes. With the cutaway coat trou
sers of the same material may be worn,
but as a rule they will be of a lighter
color, generally a shade of gray in
stripes. But while stripes will lead
they are not the only things offered
from which to choose. Checks, plaids
and a combination of stripes with both
of these will be freely worn by those
wanting something a little out of the
ordinary.
Trousers this year will have more of
the peg-top effect thnn in the past sea
son. From 18 to 19', inches is the cor
rect measurement at the knee, and
alwut 16 inches at the bottom. These
measurements nre not only for trousers
for business suits, but for both evening
and day dress suits a well.
In evening dress suits the swallow
tail and the Tuxedo will both bevvorn,
although the swallow-tail is consid
ered the proper garment by the fash-

double-breasted coats and an inch or
so leas for single breasted.
The goods for these suits range from
the coarse cloths that have been pop
ular for several seasons to the finest
grades at smooth cheviots and serges.
Of the rough goods there will be com
paratively little of it seen in the really
fashionable garment, although much
of it is beinr sold for a cheaper class
of suitings. One at the handsomest of
the suitings offered is a cheviot with
either a herring bone or diamond ef

that bare bad & large sale axe made
on makers. The changes noted in the
,wnllow-tail is a less length and a
onger and lighter roll, with a some
vhat more tapering skirt. For triin
ning cording and cord binding will be
nuch used. On a few, however, ma
bine stitching will take the place of
ither trimming. Tho trousers will be
lecorated with a soutache braid down
he side scams and the legs will be
dightly creased to near the bottom,
vhere the crease wilt be pressed out.

silk or n fancy pattern nre worn double
breasted. Single-breasted vests are
usually made w ith four buttons, and for
n tbort-waiated man with but three.
The double-breasted vests have three
buttons on a side.
For dressy afternoon wear the real
ly correct thing is the double-breasted
frock. The rout should be of a dark
mnterial with vest either of the same
or of a fancy design, and the trousers
of u light stripe. The length of the
coat should be a little more than one
half the w earer's height. The skirts will
have only luffletent fullness to hr.ug
free, and should in no case be bell
shaped. For morning dress the same general
style of ault is worn as for afternoon,
but it should be made of a lighter col
ored material, a worsted of fancy weave
being preferred.
All undercoat! will DO padded about
the shoulders to produce a neut round
ed effect as well as add to the width.
In overcoats, how ever, this padding will
not be used, as that used in the under
coat has the desired effect for both.
In overcoats the Ilaglan, the return
ing popularity of which began to be
noticeable last year, will be in greatest
favor this season. It will be worn for
all purposes nnd upon nil occasions.

the place of the Iverness. It is also
made short for riding, in which case
it is given a boxy effect.
While the Raglan will be popular
with the swells, the Chesterfield will
be the coat for the well-dressed man
who does not cater to all the passing
fads. The Chesterfields of the coming
season will be made both with and
without the center seam in the bacTJ"

tle and unimportant changes that are
permissible, none of them are demand
ed and but few will be made.
Colored shirts are to be worn even
more than tbey were last year, and are
shown in the most striking-colors. But
there is one thing about the shirts this
yar that is nn improvement over those
of last. While the Koman stripes are
shown in great variety, the promiscu
ousgrouplng of colors that produced so
many nightmares last year has been
dispensed with, and the more pleasing
two-color effects are the leading feature
of the season's styles In shirts.
With the colored shirts will also be
colored collars. Every effort made to
kill this feature at the season's fancy
hns failed in the larger cities, and now
they promise to be one of the promi
nent features of the season.
The manufacturers of gentlemen's
neckwear have planned for a specially
busy season. The novelties that they
are offering, and there are many of
them, are of the higher priced kind.
The popular things in ties costs from
one to two dollars. Of neckwear the
puffs promise to lend the styies. But
the stylish puff has changed some from
that of last season; it now croi ses high
er up than before and hns more of a ,
pufliness to it. Another tie that is giv- ,

Both Together One Yearfbr Only $
THE delights of an evening spent around a well-lighted rend
ing table are not half understood. An illustrated magazine
with its wealth of illustrations, its stories of adventure and
love, its descriptions of travel which carry you to the remotest
ends of the earth, and its instructive articles for young and old these
are the first requisites for your own enjoyment and the entertainment
and proper education of your children. '
To secure for you the best and most interesting of the great illus
trated magazines at the lowest possible price has been the aim of the
editor of this journal. That we have succeeded we leave our readers
to judge. A special contract recently entered into with The Cosmo
politan, which seeks to become better known in this neighborhood, has
enabled us to offer you a year's subscription to the greatest of the illus
trated magazines together with a year's subscription to this journal,
9 00
In this way you secure your own home paper and an illustrated
magazine at a price that is only about a fourth of what some of the
illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has
undisputedly claimed that it reached the largest clientele possessed by
any periodical, daily, weekly or monthly, in the world. It was The
Cosmopolitan which sent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the world
know t lie real horrors of famine and plague. It was The Cosmopol
it;n which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondence
University which now has over 20,000 students on its rolls. It was
The Cosmopolitan which offered a prize of $3,000 for the best horse
less carriage and prizes for best plans for public baths, and best arrange
ment of sewer and pipe systems for cities. It was The Cosmopolitan
which t the presidents of great schools and universities seriously
discussing die defects of existing educational systems. It is The
Cosmopolitan whose enterprise is always in the lead in advancing the
world's civilization.
We have also succeeded in arranging for two additional offers m
connection with this journal and The Cosmopolitan. e
After placingon your book -table the best of the illustrated magazines
in connection with your home paper, probably the most important
thing in a household for every household, in fact is the proper
keeping of accounts. The only thorough system of Self-instruction
in Bookkeeping is the "Ellis." It is not only a complete instructor,
but with it, neatly put up in a box, go sales-book, cash-book, journal,
ledger, bill-heads, statements, bank-book, bills payable and bills re
ceivable, checks, remitting book and every conceivable appliance for
beginning and carrying on the business of the farm, the shop, the
manufactory or the store. More people fail in business because they
do not keep their accounts straight than from any other cause.
Farmers and mechanics, husbands and wives, students and proles
sional men, young and old, rich and poor, all need some knowledge of
accounting. By the "Ellis System" this is easily acquired through
borne study.
The cheapest price at which this is sold at retail is 1.75 (express
from Michigan unpaid), but The Cosmopolitan has purchased many
thousands of sets so that it may offer them if taken in connection
with this paper and The Cosmopolitan
All Three Together for Only $2.25
One other opportunity we offer you. You wish to keep in touch
with metropolitan life, through the medium of a great daily, l i
Thrice-a-Week World of New York is the equivalent of a daily and
is a marvellous fund of knowledge concerning the happenings of the
day. Each i:sue contains six to eight pages of eight columns eac i r
over ei"ht thousand columns of reading matter a year. In f
days this would have cost you probably as much as 6.00 a .
