Paris Suggests Pink
Velvet Dinner Coats

Paris, July 81. P-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 feminine
fashions, but London rules over
mems styles" The startling de-
parture in mems fashions was
launched by its sponsors to dislodge
the old prejudice.
THE Salon of Masculine Styles, I"
an organization for the furtherance
Of mems fashions. recently invited
all the best known designers to
submit ideas for a renaissance of
styles for the sex. One of their OBJ
jects is to free men from funereal
and eombre evening Clothes"
One designer suggests pink, vio-
let or mauve dinner jackets as a
way of Frightening evenings. He
would make them with close fit
ting, wasp waists, in the style of
1880. Designers who responded to
the call Of the Salon show a gen
eral 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."
