style notifications, all tending tt
give men better ready-for-servict
clothes. Never before in the history
of the business have such clothes ap
preached the custom-tailored variety
SO closely. And as a result more
men than ever are wearing bought
clothes--just because the makers
have removed all restrictions as tc
fit, etc.,
Fanciful ideas of recent years are
almost entirely discarded. OF course
some makers will continue to make
freak models, but they are so far in
the minority as to be almost negligi-
BILE in their effect on present day
style. There is the more conven-
tional note in spring clothes-both
tsuits and topcoats-a note that is
more in harmony with the exacting
tastes Of good dressers.
Trend to Conservatism
AS in other years young men will
wear something that is not on the
regular bill-of-fare, but such clothes
will be only passing vogue. Even
the radicals" are coming down to
earth and predictions are being made
that in a few years the wild ideas in
clothes making will be entirely dis
carded.
About the only thing that will be
out of the ordinary Is the four
button sack or semi-fitted coat. The
lapel of this model is narrower than
last season and the top button is
made useful instead of being an
ornament. The front of this coat is
soft, with very little padding, so that
when the top is buttoned the coat
shapes itself to the movements of the
wearer.
Another extreme idea which really
had its inception last fall, but prob
ably will be the vogue among a GER
tain class of the dressers this spring
is the full trousers. BY that we mean
trousers that are shaped in equal
fullness at the knees and bottom.
Normally there is a three-inch dis
crepancy at the bottom. This style
follows the English idea to large
extent.
DOuble-Breasted Popular
The single and double-breasted
styles will continue in popular de-
mand, with the former dominating
the field. The double-breasted styles,
however, have increased with each
year, because the makers have put
more style into them and have dis
carded the idea of making q mans
clothes look like a sack as in SEASONS
past.
T., As a rule the coats for young men
will continue to show the full
chested effects, but not quite as pro-
nounced as in other years. While
the skirts Of the coats will be fairly
long the fare has been discarded al
most altogether-at least It would
be as perceptible as in other years.
{, Belted styles will be in popular
favor with the wearers of sport
clothes. Halt and three-uqarter belts
will win the greatest vote, while the
spring pleats, much like those worn
In golf suits, will have the call.
There. are various styles to these.
Such clothes will be worn q great

4 Patch Pockets Win Favor
Patch and plain pockets are to be
favored, while the crescent-shape
pockets are taking a back seat in the
call again and it will be single
breasted. They will be very little in
the style parade.
The collarless vest will have the
way Of trimmings except in the sport
or novelty suits.
Among the best patterns are those
with stripes, but for business and
general wear fancy silk worsted her
ringbones in gray, brown and blue
mixtures will be the vogue at last
year. Prominent among the newer
styles are the sO-called MayflOwer
