are no end of different variations and it
won't be long when we will see men
who said they would never be seen in a
green suit wearing them.
The man who wears suit of some
mixture will be in good style. Mixtures
are exceedingly handsome, especially the
gray ones that will be shown. There is
every reason to believe that mixtures

Serges also take a prominent part in

substance of the whole thing was that
stripes grew very tircsomc to the eye
But the stripe fashion this spring will
not be such bore There are scores
of them shown in advance displays and
there is no reason for them to become
common. Most of those that have been
created thus far are unusually clever
and distinctive and will no doubt ap-
peal to the fastidious dresser.
Plaids in most instances arc dying
out" They have had their turn at popu-
larity and are giving way to the striped
patterns. Of course, there will be a few
OF them and those that there are will
be very clever. The Glen lIrclslssa.y,tt
plaid Will again be the leader in this class
and makes d stunning appearance in
both light and dark weaves. Tartan
plaids have been on the decline for the
last few seasons and predictions are
that there will be few if any shown in
mems shops for spring. ..-.,..
Club checks are due for a moderately
heavy season. They are perhaps more
subdued than those Of previous years.
In fact, the whole tendency seems to be
for more quiet effects. Shepherd plaids
and checks have seen their best days
except for sport coats
Greens put in a strong bid for popu-
larity. In some clothing manufacturers
lines three-quarters of what they show
are composed of greens. There have
been some unusually striking greens
woven in both plain shades and mix
lures. They are sure of winning the
approval of the ultra-fa shionablc who
want something bit different than the

starts to blossom out in his brighter
and chcerier spring clothes
Easter is late this year--the latest in
thirty-one years, except in 1908 when it
also fell on April g. But the lateness
of Easter is not expected to interfere
with or delay spring clothes buying. It's
up to the weather, and if we have real
"sprlngy" temperature carly, undoubt-
edly those of you who tramp the boule-
wards with the object of seeing new
clothes will not be disappointed.
STRIPES THE THING
Perhaps never More. have stripes
been used so mueliIas they will be this
season. Stripes are undeniably the
vogue. They are shown by every tailor
and by every clothicr. There are, it is
safe to say, thousand different stripe
variations. There are all sorts of
stripes: wide stripes, narrow stripes,
double stripes, pencil stripes, pen stripes,
shadow stripes, contrasting stripes,
stripes, stripes, stripes, stripes and again
stripes.
DrOWns ana DllleS are gong to be
popular, too. il enough of them can be
obtained. It's peculiar thing, but
everything that is scarce is always in
demand. Browns and blues are very,
very hard to procure and they. are un-
usually expensive. Perhaps for those
reasons more than any others are they
in such demand. Browns arc to be worn
in very dark shades and are in most in
stances shown without any patterns.
Getting back to stripes again (for they
are the most important consideration for
spring. no doubt there will be many, but
not SO many as to make them look mo-
notonous. A few years ago there was
craze Tor stripes. Everybody wore
them; everywhere you went you saw
them; every tailor, every clothicr showed
them at about every price. But there
were very few variations-they were
mostly all the same and the sum and

much the ovcrcoats worn by many this
past winter. The single-hy ffonted
Chesterfield made shaped to the waist
and with long vent will also be IN
vogue. Loose fitting coats with set-in

worn last spring and fall will again be
popular. They, arc made up mostly in

There is nothing remarkably new in

again be used fer tennis and yachting

brains and energy for the planning Of
styles that will not only be adaptable
for the men of America but for the men
of the entire world. .t
Perhaps the biggest problem that
clothiers will have to face this spring
is the dye situation. America has, up to
this time, imported almost entirely its
coloring. Now its source of supply has
been almost wholly cut off. Whether
amer cans will be able to cope with that
situation is question. Large dye houses
have been built and the English and
German methods tried out. One thing
us certain, there will be plenty Of
colors and patterns shown, but whether
those colors and patterns will keep their
original shade for very long time is
the bothering part of it.
However, things are not as bad as
many people. think they are. A great
many manufacturers were foresighted
enough to gather tremendous supplies
as soon as the war started. Others have
perfected their dyes in such way that
they will positively guarantee them to
be lasting.
TO BE A DRESS-UP YEAR
Spring is surely the logical dress-up
season. Then it is when nature assumes
an entire new aspect-a CHEEKY attire
that is good for sore eyes" after the
dreary, monotonous garb Of winter.
Spring is truly dress-up time and no
matter how we'll man S winter ward

all about it and look to the styles for
spring.
When the birds begin to make their
way northward and the trees connnence
to sprout in their new spring uniforms,
then it is when a man (not forgetting

There are designers in America who
