horizontally striped-in blue or
tan or other color stripes.
Collar-Attached Shirts
Collar-attached shirts most In
evidence are white or solid blue
"a light blue. Tan, green and
gray are other solid colors pre-
ferred.
The collar point Is moderately
long-from 21a to 3A inches
long. Many wear a gold pin to
keep the attached collar from
looking too informal and floppy
Tab collars are more limited in
acceptance.
Some men who pay consider.
able attention to dress prefer
collar-attached shirts Of oxford
cloth. Particularly for warmer
weather. They find its wide.
loose weave cooler. they say.
But, of course, the majority of
collar-attached shirts are Of
broadcloth.
The pointed, medium-height
collar is strongest in fashion.
The points are from 21s to ~
inches in length. The trend is
away from the very long pointed
collar.
Among a few younger men
there is a vogue for the new low
rounded-point collar. High in
back, it taperS down to IA
inches in front.
Small Patterned Ties
Ties worn with these shirts
are seen (not heard) mostly in
small, neat patterns. Dots,
floral and diamond designs,
small stippled effects and geo
metrics are the choice Of most
men.
Foulards, Spitalfield silks
Chose soft, lustrous, neat-pat-
termed English silks), reps,
twillS and crepes are the IA
vorite materials. And they are
tied in small or medium knots
we'll up in the crotch Of the
collar.
The place of the striped tie
is gradually being usurped by
the solid color tie in crepe or
silk, but the striped tie, not SO
loud as formerly, is still popu
lar with many men. Four.in
hands are more popular than
bow ties.

their application.
This room is a rather formal
music room. with many long
windows, a big room. It's walls
are pale green, a soft color

other tones. The first thing
chosen was q hand-blocSed

greens. nauve, gold in several
tones, a bit of brown. a green

and a touch of coral. A truly
lovely fabric. with many colors
to pick up and match in other
parts Of the room.
Then the rug was selected, a
deep mauve that just matched
the mauve in the draperies.
Then portieres. Of green vel

linen. This same velvet vas
used for the valanceS to the
draperies.
The chairs and sofas were
then all covered with fabrics
that repeated the Colors in the
linen draperies. but no two in
the same fabric. Some designs
were large, others small. One
or two small pieces had cover

For instance, a large sofa
looked very well in an antique
gold brocatelle, a fabric with a
raised figure il Self-color.
Across the room, a love seat
was covered in brocade that
