The WeU-D Dressed Man
 By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of Every Occasion
The RIazar Jacket

It is a truism that the Englishman is the best-dressed man in the world, but that the American makes the best appearance. In other words, the one has a wider range of garments; the other wears them better. The English man acquires a wardrobe the American buys clothes. We need more of his deference to the obligations of occasion, time and place. He needs more of our individuality and initiative. It is q difference in points of view, though they are drawing closer together every year.
 The blazer jacket is a style with which some Americans are only ac- Quainted by hearsay, but which is as much an. institution to Englishmen as Windsor Castle or Westminster Ab- bey. Originally worn at cricket, the national game over there just as base ball is over here, the blazer spread to tennis, country and knockabout wear until now it has become the preferred sporting, lounging and country club jacket for hot weather. It is unlined,, light, cool and, beeause1 of it's cheery colors, is as welcome as the postman on remittance day.
 Blazers come in all club, college and regimental colors, as well as in stripes which have no special significance. The flannel jacket, portrayed in the accom- panying sketch, is particularly smart style with its three buttons, low collar notch; short, broad lapels; rounded off front and patch pockets. It is worn closed, the lowest button being left un- fastened. after the fashion borrowed from the Tattersall waistcoat of the horseback rider.
 As for blazer colors, you can call your own, from primrose strines to purple
