and while regimental stripes do not
figure so prominently as during

any number of new striped effects
revealing interesting color COM

The element of color is still a
vital influence and is based upon
eight distinct shades which in
varying tones and different COM
binations are widely featured in
neckwear for autumn and winter.
Particular interest attaches to
the new striped effects obtained in
various ways. Frequently a sue

to property adjoining the line. The

pavement, following construction,
