The National Association of Retail Clothiers is
planning to spend million dollars year to teach
men how to dress Previous heavy expenditures along
that line for women have been justified, they think
and they believe that will respond to the treat

nowadays. What with boyish bobs for the girls and
rouge for the boys trousers getting wider and skirts
nearing the vanishing point, what either sex will do
next seems unforeseeable Now that the ladies have
taken over, in their clubs and committees much of
the political work formerly left to the men-and most
ly left by them-perhaps the gentlemen can use some
of their leisure looking into shop windows and dis
cussing the luncheon table the serious problems
of what their suits will be like and whether they
