Paris Suggests Pink VeIuet Dinner Coats

PARIS, Aug. G.=Pink velvet dinner jackets worn with green trousers of flannel or cloth are the latest Paris style suggestion for men.
 Europe was wont to say Paris is the undisputed home of femin- inc fashions, but London rules over mems styles" The startling departure in mems fashions was launched by it's sponsors to dis lodge the old prejudice.
 "The Salon of Masculine Styles" an organization for the furtherance of mems fashions. re- gently invited all the best known designers to submit ideas for a renaissance of styles for the sex One of their objects is free men from funeral and sombre evening clothes.
 One designer suggests pink violet or mauve dinner jackets as a way of brightening even ings. He would make them with close fitting, wasp waists, in the style of 1880. Designers who respond to the call of the Salon show general hatred of boiled shirts and starched collars Soft collars are the suggestion of most of them, but some presented models without any collars at all. These have been nicknamed the "guillotine necks."
