Mems Spring Hats.

Spring hats to fit the face rather
than just the head, appear as the
dominating styles in the new showings
of mems headwear. The stylish hat
this spring is the comfortable hat. 1t
"sits" just right-looks even better
than it feels. Above all, the contours
provide a pleasing frame for the face.
Shapes, in many instances similar
to those of the fall season, occupy
prominent positions in the newest
trend, while a considerable group Of
spring hats showsa decided swing AMI
curl of the brim which lends much
vivacity to faces of certain t.pes. Most
of the shapes. however, are modelled
on lines suitable to make any man en-
JOY their companionship.
Flexibility combined with light
weight make the new styles more
comfortable, at the same time adapt
ing themselves for many occasions
such as outdoor sporting events. The
feasibility of this vogue is also re-
Elected in the summer straws, which
strive for even lighter weight than
their predecessors Of a year ago.
Topping all is the style element which
has been preserved to the highest de-
gree.
Light colors still reign sunreme
among the spring blendings. There
are plofty of pearl greys, smart tans,
and pea greens to lend variety suffi.
cient for any choice. Bands harmon
nize with the colors of the felt used.
while the alluring colored band ap-

Next to these come the grenadines

trend as noted in the knit ties.
Crinkly crepes are another new fabric
that will find much favor as most
stunning patterns have been devel-
oped in this character of tie. In fact
along into summer that the foulards
and these crepes will pretty much
dominate the vogue.
Flat or cut silks and mogadors will
always find adherents and there will
be 10 scarcity of these fabrics for
those that prefer them, but in the
main the man who knows his fashion
guide will adopt the things we have
emphasized above as the high lights
of the seasons neckwear styles.
In shirts the outstanding departure
of the season is the cOllar-tO-match
shirt. Not the soft collar, nor even
the attached collar as in late seasons,
but stiff Numbered collar with very
intricate patternings of checks, cross
stripes and even Bingham motifs such
as are sometimes seen in wOmen's
wash dresses. These, of course, are
for early Spring, as when the hot
weather comes men will hardly bur-
den themselves with Numbered co..
lars except for evening dress wear.
Shirts i'm Solid Tones.
Some of these shirts will also be
seen in solid tones, of which the new
powder blue" is considered to be the
faddish thing To this we add Tho

revived when summer comes and its
comfort giving properties will make
their appeal. In these semi-soft col
lars many pique patterns are shown,
but they are in the nature OF ven
ture and their popularity is yet to be
tested.
With the wing collars there Is a
tendency to return the bat wing ties
and there is strong indication that
these bows will be widely worn, if
the wing collar makes good the prom
Use it reflected in the East during re-
cent months.
Even Color in Hosiery.
Hosiery is not to be the least OF the
color notes in a mans attire this sea-
son. While the. fine plain color isles
and silks will always be in the lead
this season the younger men are turn
ing with no indecision to very fancy
effects - bold stripes, characterize
mixtures and even outlandish blocked
and checked patterns of the character
of Scotch golf hose. These will be
most in worsteds and the softer fab
RIGS while the silk hose will run to
stripes and neat embroidered treat
ments.
Golf hose will run a very riot of
color and design in wool, worsted,
light silk and camel's hair or brush
up textures.
Gloves in the lighter shades are
preferred for Spring. Bucks, chamois
and mOchas vie with the capeskins./
Handkerchiefs evidence much color
in borders and allover treatments.
A novelty venture of the season is
the silk belts in hatband colors and
patterns. feathers, however, will be
more commonly worn with ornamental
buckles, initiated and monogrammed
effects and the new beltogram.
There is very strenuous effort
being made in some quarters to re-
turn the use of suspenders and this
is meeting with some noticeable ap-
proval among well-dressed men who
contend that only suspenders will
hold the fuller, longer, trousers with
proper set

The well dressed man :; to be
a gay bird, indeed, this seasonal
least in aspect if high colors are a
basis of such expression. In his neck
wear, his hosiery, his shirts, his golf
attire and his handkerchiefs - all
are attuned this season to tones OF
brilliancy-we might almost say flam-
boyancy.
In neckwear especially bright col
ors are prescribed most arbitrarily.
Foulards have the call and these offer
new note in TIE patternings as well
as colors this Spring. Instead of a
predominance of floral effects as here
tofore in this class of neckwear the
designs run more to figures-conven-
tional designs of block effects, cubist
treatments and small geometrical mo-
tifs.
These ties are not cut quite as flow
ing as in previous seasons and yet
are ample in both knot and ends. TIE
colors are bright-more or less solid
in foundation colors but the designing
patterns are in bright reds, yellows.
green's, puppies, lavenders and some
pastel shades. There is much of the
Oriental tones that have become so
popular in womens dress silks that
will also be found in the neckwear
for men.
Knit Ties Are Liked.
Knit ties are again asserting them
selves in most elaborate patterns =
some so profusely interviewer with
color that it is almost impossible to
identify them as being of knitted
weaves. These ties also lean much
toward the brighter effects in very

TO hops there has been sstab-
lished q new conception IN the model
ling Of mems suits for Spring. This
style first manifested itself in London
and on the Continent; New York
adopted the style late last season and
now In its second hop this fashion has
landed fairly and firmly in what the
East il pleased to call the provinces, "

than heretofore and the coat cut
away a bit more than we have been
accustomed to, with NO vent In the
back.
Double Breasted Popular.
Double-breasted coats continue IN
popularity, especially with the
younger and sGghter built men. The
double-breasted vest is not quite so
fortunate. Last season the East
leaned strongly toward them, but its
popularity Is decidedly on the wane
now.
Not all men will take kindly 10
these English model suits-some be-
cause these models are discouraging
to the man who is keen for the nat.
tiness and trimness that is inherent
with more body tracing lines. Other
men will look askance upon them be-
cause it takes "a figure" to wear them
successfully and not all men are so
blessed in stature that their owl
figure can supply the grace which the
model itself lacks.
Hence Fashion Is not strictly arbi.
trary. More form-fitting effects are
offered as a compromise and these
compass total eclipse Of the athletic
style in suits.
Then, too, there are the sport styles
and in this day Of ,golfing, country
clubs and summer dancing and out.
ing occasions the sport styles will well
hold their own. In these sport styles
however, there is a noticeable influ.
ence Of the English trend which i.

chara cteristics even with their knick-
era This fashion finds its 'borning7
from the fact that many men in New
York and in the larger centers like to
play golf during the day, drop into
.tea- during the early afternoons or
evenings at the club and hotel places
and dance in the evenings without
changing their garments.
Four-Piece Suits Favored.
For such purposes the sack coat is
a trifle dressier, and it is because of
this tendency that the four-piece golf
suits are gaining in such popularity
because the man can easily discard
the Knockers at his office or his club
to the conventional trousers and have
his coat to match.
Plaids, checks and small mixtures
az vel las monotone pattern treat
ments have forced the previously pop
ular stripes into the background, aud
it Is these effects that you will note
largely in the Spring suits this season.
Blues are very strong. Powder
blues, Porcelain blues, Guard blues,
blue-gray and French gray are the
outstanding colors of the season In
the larger fashion centers. These may
be In solid colors or in modest mix
lures with the above shades as the
dominant foundation effects.
Topcoats Cut Looser.
Topcoats are cut a trifle looser than
heretofore and are in sympathy with
the suits in their English cut and al
most straight lines. Guard models
box models and Chesterfields are
mostly seen and many of the smartest
are in the blue tones mentioned above.
Golf knickers are cut straighter and
with not quite so much fullness and
they blouse deeper below the knee
| than in the earlier models.
As Spring blends into summer you
will naturally see more of the sport
style clothes especially in the two
piece suits. For the midsummer
term flannels and gaberdines will be
the dressy evening suits especially
for dancing and social wear. These
will be evenly divided between plain
sack and sport treatments.
Next TO these will be the finer
grades of mohairs, Palm Beach effects,
Tropical -worsteds and various novelty
weaves. Tweeds and pongee or silk
suits are not expected to be as favored
as last summer.

The Country Club Dance

~ OBERT came home for the Easter holt
X days, and because he too young to
have standards, there developed be-
| tween him and Julie a shy friendship. She
loved Matthew's son for himself, as well as
for the fact that he was like Matthew, and
she was freer with him than she was with
any one Bradford Pierce
Of course, she saw little of him and he
was shy of exhibiting emotions. But once
when he stOrmed into the house she slipped
her arm around his neck, and when he drew

gized with quick frankness.

"Oh, that's all right" he responded abash-
= eddy. LAS long none of the fellows hap
pened to be here, l don't mind" And he
had grinned up at her and squeezed her
around the waist. Julie remembered that
for days afterward.
Say he said to her once. How do you
stand Claudia? That up-stage manner of
hers. You'd think she a queen or
something"
Julie had laughed. and admonished him
with remark that after all she was his sis
ter. But after that she had felt bond be
tween herself and Robert. bond that was
all too quickly broken because he went back
to school so soon.
She wished vaguely that he were always
home. that he went to school in the neigh
borhood, but Matthew wanted him away at
OoaFdlnS school and, or course, he knew
best.
During the Easter holidays there had been

Q. How many building and loan associa-
lions are there in the United States? A.
M. H.
A AS of June 81, 1928, according to the
data Of the United States League Of Local
Building and Loan Associations there were
10000 such associations in this country.
Q. What is the difference between light
opera and comic opera? Which is Blossom
Time?' c. W. B.
A. Comic opera is literal translation of
the French opera comiQue, which is opera
having happy ending and in which the
dialogue is spoken. 1t is not necessary that
the piece introduce any really comic scenes
Light opera or operetta is generally of buffo
character Originally operas were of one act
only. The series of Gilbert G Sullivan
operettas set the fashion for pieces of the
kind in two acts. Blossom Time" was play
as comic opera.
Q. How are sizes of shoes calculated?
L. n
A. There are three general systems for
measuring shoes: English used in England
and the United States American; French.
The French unit length is the Paris point
equallng 2-3 of a centimeter or approximate
~ 4-l5 of an inch, ) points or sizes being
about 4 inches The English and American
measure is 1-3 Of an inch the former count
ed from the 4-inch mark, while the latter is
counted from the ILL Pinch mark 1t has
| been suggested that the English measure be
universally used. In the English measure
the sizes run from 1-13 for children For
adults, they continue in a new series Size
IL is therefore 1-3 inches long while an
adult size 5 is 10 inches.
Q. Is goats milk a satisfactory substitute
for cows milk? r. s. ~
A. In taste. goats milk is like rich cows
milk, except that it is somewhat whittier and
a trifle sweeter. The uninitiated would not
be able to distinguish it from cows milk
either by taste odor. 1t is slightly more
NiScous than cows milk, the consistency be
ing smooth like first-run cream Over
1000 goats are used by various government
hospitals for milk producing purposes Tu-
berculosls sanitariumS especially use large

that 1t is a good body builder for patients
suffering from wasting diseases such as tu-

safely be taken in a state. Goats are
considered immune from tuberculosis. so

JUSTIFYING OPTIMISM
BY II. AddingtOn Bruce


r INTERESTING and most suggestive are
/ the findings of novel investigation I'M
dertaken by British psychologist and
reported by him at a recent meeting OF
scientists.
For month, at the request of the psy-
chologist Prof j. C. Flugel, of London uni
yersty, nine persons kept close record in
notebooks of the sensations experienced
during their waking hours. Everything that
gave them an appreciate feeling of pleas
antness or unpleasantness went into the rec
ord at the time of it's occurrence.
At the end of this investigation period
the NOTEBOOKS were turned over to Prof.
Flugel, who proceeded to analyze their con-
tents He found in them ample justification
for those who contend that the pleasant in
life far outweighs the unpleasant.
Of all the experiences and accompanying
sensations listed 67.72 per cent were pleas
ant ones, and only 1928 unpleasant. More
over, studying the returns by individuals and
not whole, Prof Flugel found that the
person who reported the lowest number of
pleasant sensations had nevertheless scant
reason for turning pessimist. To quote from
a summary of Prof. Flugels conclusions:
THE tabulator divided the feelings in
his nine notebooks into seven classes rang
ing from plus 3, representing the most ex-
IRENE pleasure to minus 3, indicating the
exact opposite. The happiest man of the
a plus condition.
I'm his life there was sc per cent Of
pleasure, IL per cent of lack of any
particular feeling, and only 6 IL per cent
of 'unpleasure.' The gloomiest man Of them
all was happy As per cent of the time, and
just as definitely unhappy SO per cent Of
the time"
Manifestly, findings such as these are of
varied practical appica blity, and perhaps
particularly significant in their bearing on
the persuasion treatment of the habitual-
ly gloomy. They strongly reinforce for ex-
ample, the advice that the celebrated Dubois
of Berne used to give patients afflicted
chiefly with worry:
Every night, the last thing before you
go to bed put on one side of an imaginary
scales all the unpleasant things that have
happened during the day. On the other
side, put all the pleasant things.
"You will find, if you honest with
yourself, that the latter weigh down the
former, and consequently that it is foolish
and wrong to worry as you do"
The Flugel report Enthusiastically goes to
vindicate Dubois insistent optimism And
while, owing to the fact that it is based on
the experiences of only few people, it may
reasonably be objected that this reports
lacks absolute finality it will no doubt in
spire similar researches a larger scale
against the findings of which no similar OH
lection be raised.
