BIT NORA KAY.

Nobody better try tell me that any
man would be seen in one Of those Toddle
Tux suits or candy striped hat bands.
raved one man who prides himself on his
masculine tastes, after hearing about the
newest innovations in plumage for tht
male peacock "Those things are jusi
freak styles not one man in a millior
would look at. bet if you take a loof
through some Of the old, established
mems stores you'll find them showing
ties and suits and B. V. DIS just like ths
ones they sold before the war. Maybe
the coats are half an inch shorter and tn.
trousers a bit more snug. but the othel
articles CT maL.s wardrobe don't change
For instance, did you ever hear OF a MAI
coming down to breakfast in a taffets
breakfast coat? Not outside Of Eric VoI
Stroheim's pictures!"
do you think so?" countered his
doubling feminine companion. what dc
you say to going over to one Of your
old, established mems stores and having
a salesman show US just what the real
men are supposed to wear this season
We will say Supposed but you'll have
to admit IL this particular store is show
tsg them, a good many Indianapolis men
can be counted on to buy them. But
you'll have to promise not to ruin the
investigation by making any critical COM
ments that might discourage the sales
man."
1t only took about one look at the
creamy pongee shirt edged around the
collar, cuffs and pockets with an emerald
green stripe to prove the warning was
well given. The mere mans face wore
a painted look that became worse as the
salesman called his attention to piles of
gay golf hose, in tan and green and
heather shades, striped, checked and bor-
dered around the top with all sorts OF
striking geometric designs.
"And you must see the golf garters,
too," insisted the obliging salesman, pro-
ducing two long knitted bands finished
at the ends with fat tassels "You Just
wrap them around the leg. roll the hose
down over them, and let the tasseled
ends hang down at the Sides" he ex-
planned.
DO the golfers really wear them ?" IN
qufred the feminine member meaningly.
Certainly, madam. One would feel
rather foolish on a golf course il he
were not properly dressed for the sport.
Most certainly they wear them"
"And what is this?" inquired tn elm
vestigator.
."That-er, that Is known as a mans
hose supporter. They fasten to 1he bot
tom of the shirt and thus serve to hold
both the hose up and the shirt down."
explained the embarrassed young man.
How about these kimono affairs. Are
they for the men. too?" questioned the
inqufring one, pausing before a rack Of
garments whose dainty hues Of pink,
heliotrope and maise could hardly be
associated with the stronger sex.
Those" explained the o. S." are
beach gowns. One wears them on the
beach over ones bathing suit
I'D like to meet one Of those heliotrope
robes wandering along the beach," mur-
INJURED the hitherto silent male member.
Let me show you some Of our really
handsome robes for the beach, urged
salesman This one In blue and
Sc, for instance" and he produced from
glass case a sort Of glorified silk
lmono that bore a striking esemblance
b the very garment the effeminate Eric
\reakfasted in. And this" before the
isgusted masculine onlooker could ex-
ress himself. .Another robe blossoming
