DIGNITY IN NEW
STYLES FOR MEN
Clothing for Spring Gets
Back to Appealing Cuts
and Subdued Tones
PASSING OF FADS
NOTED IN GARMENTS

Dignity is the keynote Of the spring
styles. All the free-for-ali cuts, fadE
and fashions OF the last few years are
gone. America is country Of busi-
ness men. and so the styles Of dress
seem at last 70 have reached the nor
NAL, common sense basis that bust
ness men might expect.
Our wives and daughters, our sis
ters, cousins and aunts began taking
things off some years ago, and they
are now Sitting their skirts up to
their knees and running to all the ex-
travagancies of the Poiret craze and
those other crazes that have less rea-
son and less art than the French
dressmaker whose name Is in every
shop window where women's things
are sold
Men just had 20 preserve the bal
ance, and so they returned to the
conventional cuts and the staider pat
terms than those they indulged in
year ago.
So, too, modesty in dress has be-
come an asset, and now the typical
American is the well-to-do business
man who dresses with better taste
than he did before, because he does
not follow after strange vagaries IA
cut. and weird colors in texture for
his clothes.
Today tho American is the best
dressed man IN the world. The tail
ors are the most expert because they
are the best paid. The business is
not cursed as it is abroad, by long and
unreasonable credits. Everything Is
on a business basis. Conditions are
more favorable here than elsewhere,
and the American tailor, like the
American business man, adapts him
self to circumstances.-and like Ma
poleon, makes his own circumstances
so that he gets the best ideas from
all over the world and bends them
TO his purposes.
That is the reason American clothes
are the best made and IN the best taste
OF any in the universe The same
| conservation extends TO evening dress,
and even to clothes worn for golfng,
riding, shooting, aud al outdoor
sports. All in all radicalism is a thing
of the past, and the best dressed man
Is the least conspicuous.
