ed way men have about them this sea
son? The upper parts of their per
son have bunched-up look and seem
! closer to their ears than OF old. They
widen out from the waist upward and
have quite pugilistic appearance
| Well. that is merely a matter. OF
fashion. They are wearing them that
way this year Many men who never
before have been high-shouldereo
have that appearance this spring,
some of them being entirely uncon-
scious OF it. It is trick Of the tailor.
The effect is secured by moving the
waist line up three or four inches.
The public has been accustomed TO
| the movability OF the feminine equa-
| tor. which of late has been wander
! ing from the arm pits to the knees.
Now the masculine zone OF no iatl-
tude has begun to vacillate. and. IN
| its preliminary travels, has FOUND
Itself stranded on the points OF the
shoulder blades
The tailors describe these close
cut suits as being built along ma
| tural lines" This description pur-
| ports 10 carry the idea that they nj
the, masculine form as a glove II
| fact. the spring suits have been quite
snug. Those who know the ways
of taiIors. and who hold that suit
should have a usefulness OF more
than one season, have accepted TINS
sartorial dictate as an alarm OF the
| a approach of time of change Ana
now that the season is well along.
YOUR tailor will tell you that IN cuts
the suits are loosening up bit. AS
! 4 matter of fact. ii is clothiers
secret that mems cater garments
gre TO be loose and somewhat shape
Jess this fall. In six months a hoio-
over suit will be As conspicuous as
a straw hat in the winter time
One other point of especial distinc-
ton in these high-waisted coats IL
the fact that they fasten with a
single button. This is not only true
OF the ordinary sack coat, but OF
the more dressy getaways. During
rhe spring. fashionable coats have
also been characterized by very large
collars and lapels that gave one
front a fare of unusual dash rms
effect il also 10 pass. The new coats
viii have the long. narrow collar
which affects gentle roll instead OF
lying fat upon the chest.
Before passing from the spring
styles. which are now on the way
| TO the discard. it may be well 10
look once lingeringly on the man OF
fashion who goes forth this season
| for morning stroll on Fifth avenue.
strikes the observer is the ione,
snug. high-waisted. cne-bGttoned
cutaway he wears. The particularly
| individual thing about it is the light
/ ness of the gray material OF wnfcn
lit is made. Men have rarely worn
so formal garment in SO light
shade. The buttons are cloth cover
ed and oblong- The trousers arr
much darker than the coat. are strip
ed and hung straight. This man OF
/ fashion wears caIfskin boots with
white cloth buttoned uppers- There
| IS touch of contrast again IN the
polka dot tie and again in the yellow
| chanois gloves. Altogether the man
of fashion has rarely taken SO pro-
dtsaIly to colors. The silk hat may
have the distinction of somewhat
rakish bow in the back, distinctly
American depression from form
which has greatly shocked '.deah old
ionnon."
For the sumpter the whole scheme
OF mems wear is dominated by the
tropical cloth idea. Suits of Palm
beach cloth have been growing in
popularity for several seasons until
! this wear they. with a following of
imitators. Will be almost the only
thing worn While garments of this
material began exclusively In the
solid colors, mostly tans. there is
marked development this year. Inc
RAIN beach cloth Is now made uC
In many varities Of stripes and
checks. and much nobbier edecss
/ than of old are thus secured
! Silk pongee suits will also be eX-
tensively worn. mostly in tans. Then
! there is the grass cloth which is
newer than either of the Others IT
{! is made in coarse woven and home
spun effects. True to its name. this
material goes in for greens and other
vegetable colors. All these materials
! lend themselves to washing or dry
cleaning
Approaching the tendency toward
! the adoption of these light suits for
summer. the manufacturers of light
wooden outer garments have hasten
4 ed to compromise in their product
4 They have made up their suit IN
/ very light colors and have MADE
every compromise TO GOODNESS. Many
/ of the ready-to-wear suits are made
with no padding about the shoulders
at ala concession to comfort that
tai1ors have refused to make through
/ the decades. Almost the only dark
coats surviving are the blue Norfolk
/ jackets with the white or striped
\ flannel trousers. Many OF these are
built along the lines OF semi-Norfolk
in which the bale in the back reaches
but half way around.
The tango suit" is the type OF
thing that will be worn for sum-
mer. 1t is made OF tropical cloth
and Is moro likely to be striped or
checked than plain 1t still holds to
the wide Iapels. to the patch pockets.
TO the narrow sleeves and the mar
row trousers. A soft silk SHIFT is
regarded as the fittest thing with
the tango suit. but other soft shirts
with sof; cuffs and soft collars may
be worn.
