In neckwear the club tie will be the
most fashionable this spring It Is sim-
ply the oldfashioned cinvat a rlblioii
of silk to be tied In n bow underneath
the collar Very wile black ties have
been muoh worn this spring nnd I fancy
that they will take tho lead as tho ten-
dency Is now to dies us sohurly as pos-
sible There are however very benull
rul ties In colors and figured silks Ihe
advantage of the tie Is that It enables
a wide expanse of shirt bosom to be
seen and thus creates a cool and com-
fortable Impression It will be a little
hard on gentlemen of limited means who
are not able probably to pay largo laun-
dry bills I am glad of Its adoption
however on the score of cleanliness No
man with a proper regard for himself
should wear a Boiled ehirt bidden from
the public view by an extensive silk or
satin arrangement
To be smart society having adopted
this terse and expressive Saxon word

THE HUNT1NC TIE
There la yet another form of neckwear
which Is bidding for favor nnd which ran
he made very effective It l what Is
known In England ns the hunting tie and
Is only used there in the Held 11 Is nn
oidltmry silk scurf something like the As-
cot but which must be wound twice or
Afternoon on Fifth Avenue New York
Bend to the scourer who will do It up
like new all for the cost of a few cents
It Is not difficult to arrange the simple
club tie In the convention 1 knot or bow
An effort however Is being made to In-
troduce fhe butterfly tie so popular
lusi winter with evening dress for ordin-
ary occasions In black silk or satin us
well as in co ora The butterfly has
been the despair of muny a young man
dressing tn a hurry for a dinner or a
dance To tie It Is an art It Is a we
el know made of verv stiff muslin cross
barred or of lawn stiffly starched The
enda nre shaped something like a decan-
ter so that when tied the Iww haa a re-
semblance to the wings of h butterfly
The art Is to tie the bow Itself very tight
and narrow nnd the two ends must be
very wide and perfectly square How to
do this without rumpling the cravat Is
a feat accomplished by few with success
In other materials the cravat becomes
limp and loses its symmetrical outlines
It will however remain the fuvorlte
nockweur for evening dress Very wide
white lawn ties are aUo much worn
They are tied in a large white bow per
fectly square
I hear that in order to meet what Is
known as a long felt want an enter-
prising New York man is tibout lo or
ganise n cravat tying bureau where
skilled persons who can manipulatethe
modern tie will be furnished at reason-
able rates lo subscribers These artists
will come to your house twice or three
tlmei a day and anange your cravat in
the very latest stjle
The scarf wlOh ihe flowing end I e
tli ordinary silk hcarf faohloncd some-
what as tho fournband only more
ample and familiarly known ns the De
Jolnvllle will also be very niueh worn
These are to be tied In a verv tight
Ixiw I believe it Is called the Princes
knot and the ends brought through
and arranged In wide spread luxuri-
ance over your shirt bosom There Is
a knack also of tying this knot wlilch
however I believe has been acquired
three times around tho neck before It Is
arranged and lostened like the ordinary
scarf This gives It somewhat the ap-
pearance of a stock These como In reds
and blue inthor vlyld with small white
figures In tho oldtime shape of polkn
dotB nnd crescents As yet 1 oan not
tell whether this scurf will prove n long
lived favorite 1 fear that there have been
too many variations of It sprung upon
the market by cheap manufacturers L
see them by the scores In all the shop
windows and they are worn principally
by very young men nnd by others who
have the reputation of dressing some-
what loudly In this connection I suppose
I should any something about the stock
which reems to be for the moment quite a
favorite form of neckwear You meet It
more on llroudwuy after matinee hours
than on Fifth avenue The man who
wears the stock Is usually beardless lie
parts his hulr with a wide orea In the
middle and then uses a piodlglous quuti
tltj of oil to make It extremely slick and
shiny He wenis it long behind and al-
most In bandeaux over his forhcad He
Is apt also to have one of the extreme
George IV overcoats grey or fawn in
i ilor with velvet collar nnd velvet otiffs
All of this Is not good fotm A stock Is
plcturesqpo only when It Is worn with an
1830 collart ns the standing lilgh with the
Lent ends Is pronounced when the niito
rlal Is blitck silk or satin wound several
times around the neck and then tied in
the very loose oldfashioned bow Stock
In colors niv not gdod form and one must
never wear a pin with them It
generally gives them away as be
ng leadymiide and at once di-
vests them of their only charm I
think at best thev are only a fad They
nre not worn In London and I have not
seen a single man who belongs either to
the Knickerbocker or Calumet clubs with
them This I think Is sufficient to rele-
gate them to the morgue of nil fushluns
the Bowery

SHE OVERHEARD
It was a winters night of piercing cold
nens In Amsterdam Banker Brounker sat
near his stove smoking a long pipe op-
posite was his Intimate ft lend Von Urote
Mme Urounker and her children were
gone to a pary so the two rrlends sure
of not being interrupted converged con-
fidentially
What ran be the reason said Gtote
to Brounker that you will not consent
to the marriage of your son with the
daughter of Blrkenrode
My dear lel ow I do not oppose the
match 11 is my wife who will not hear
ot It
ItBut
But what reason can she have to re
fuse her consent
I can not tell you answered Brounk
er lowing his voice
A mysiery exclaimed Grote come
you know how discreet I am let me
knowguli about it
llul you will promse to be secret
Do you wish me to swear It
Well It Is now Bixondtwonty years
since I was married and I frankly con
fess to you that I was excessively Jealous
of my wife
My position obliged me to sec a great
deal of company ut home and 1 feared
that some of my numerous visitor would
rob ma of my Clotildas affections one
or those particularly Colonel Birkcnrode
caused tne tho greatest fear
I could not deny him ucce to my
house us he belonged to u very powerful
fumly nellh r had anything In hla con
duct given me reason to do bo
At the time 1 speak of 1 bought this
house where I had previously had con
structed in secret behind this stove n
row closet from which I could hear
Uat passed In tills room wherein my
wife received her visitors
For a long lime lllrkonrode contented
himself with depleting In the most vivid
ooors the passion which consumed him
m > wife listened without making any
answer At last one day ho benme
more impatient that before und threat
ened to blow his brains out before her
e > es If she would not show him n llttlo
more pity
But 1 am not ut liberty exclaimed
n voice Interrupted by sobs
