YOUNG MEN AND CLOTHES.
Is There Distinctively Young
Mans Style of Dress.

In looking over trade report the
other day, the statement was motto
ed that the ''young mems clothing
houses" were selling cerain styles.
This prompted the question, is there
distinctiyely young mans style of
dress? Across the line of sex no sucn
line appears. Elderly women fire.
quently dress as if they were trying
to call attention to fresh beauty. And
young women who could afford to
attract scrutiny frequently dress
very simply
In other orders of existence, it is
quite common for the male to be
decked out in fine plumage. The male
bird is apt to wear brilliant feathers,
while the female may be dull grey or
brown.
The human male seems to have
some longings for this display, and
to part from it, at least during
youth, with some regret. Up to the
past century, mems dress clothes
were of the most gorgeous rainbow
hues. In some branches Of sport like
hunting and golf, red and green are
still more or less popular.
The dominant feeling among ma
Iture men favors inconspicuousness
of clothes. This holds down formal
dress to plain and severe black. In
business life startling checks and
plaids are condemned as loud" and
ELUSIVE. There are many young
men, however, who apparently dis
like to be held down by these rul-
ings. Seemingly they would like to
array themselves in purple and fine
linen, to be physically Respondent to
the other sex.
And so it comes about that mems
styles originate many novelties ev-
cry year. They are not very pro-
nounced as compared with women's
fashions. But mems dress is so near
ly alike that any variation is no
ticeable. The clothing maker who
would sell to youths must stock up
on these changes. Young men dislike
to follow too much the beaten path.
They cherish their own individuality,
and seem to prefer something that
emphasizes it, and gives them some
mark Of distinction from their fell
lows.
