DOPE FOR LORDsBURG DUDES
Expert on MEMS Clothing Outlines
the Trend of Fashion for
Men this Summer

Evidences are to be found on
every hand that the proposed
Dress-Up Week, from April ID to
%, is taking a firm. hold on the
minds of Lordsburg people and
there will be a dress parade here
on Easter Sunday that will eclipse
anything of the kind ever seen here
before.
All the merchants in town are
heartily in favor of the scheme and
have brought in stocks of clothing
that have never been surpassed for
taste and variety. The following
forecast of the summer fashions,
compiled by one of the towns lead
ing clothing statesmen, will be of in
terest:
Viewing broadly the fashions for men for
the spring and summer seasons. It may be
said that they are generally conservative,
as to form, pattern and color. This does
not mean that they lacking in novelties and
touches Of distinctiveness, for these are the
things that make for character and indi-
viduality in ones dress. When a man
joins the Easter parade. he will looks his
best IL he y wearing one Of the new slight
ly form tracing models, from which most of
the shoulder padding has been eliminated.
The coat follows the lines Of the natural
figure. and drapes very beautifully. The
most attractive feature Of the coats Is that
while they are smaller and form fitting,
they are very comfortable because Of the
lack of padding and stiffenine. The fronts
Of the coats are soft, with a roll effect.
H.. A. la.
tive in dress have that touch Of youth to
them which gives them a smart effect.
Plaids and sreys will be popular. but
the SO called banjo stripes and materials
flecked with bright colors by means of silk
threads will be much in evidence.
Florida has already given the cue for the
extremely warm weather. Palm Beach
stronger popularity. The addition Of a
suits. which made their appearance in this
city last summer, will be in evidence, and
new all-wool fabric. called Dixie Weave.
has been made to the group Of hot weather
fabrics. The finish Of this cloth makes
possible a great variation Of eolors and de-
signs.
Trousers for the season are narrow and
most Of them are worn with the cuff.
In hats broader brims are in evidence,
and the hats are lighter in weight, with
shades of green pearl and lighter shades
of brown most in demand.
Panamas for the coming season do not
vary greatly from the block shapes Of last
season. but the braided straws have slightly
wider brims.
This is to be a silk shirt year, with a ten
dency toward color. Wide stripes are the
most striking designs.
Tan shoes will be popular and blacks
will also be worn. but this will be the big
gest white shoe season ever known. Low
shoes will be worn, but the lasts and general
design show no changes of note.
Fancy striped silk hosiery is being shown
and in spite of the scarcity of dye mater
ials, color is the predominant note in neck
wear.
Dress and the manner of wear
ing it are matters of no mean
Importance. Dress does not make
the man nor the woman, but it
marks them, and it gives the one
ouwtard sign from which people in
general can, and often do, judge
the internal state of mind and feel
ing of a person, for the dress is
seen, while the mind is unseen.
Get in the game, dress up and
stay dressed up. You will look
better, feel better, and make ev-
eryone with whom you come in
contact have a greater respect for
kyou./
