New Suits Are
Closer Fitted

Perhaps the strong
est trend in mems suits
is that they are fitted
closer than they have
been for many seasons.
Not that they are ex-
treme or theatrical, but
coats are as close as
they may be without
binding or discomfort,
and a number of spring
suits we've seen in
Washington stores are
really tight-fitted. Even
the university mans
coat is fitted closer.
Jackets are longer to
balance this fitting,
and waistlines tend to
. be, a bit higher. Other
wise, there is very little
change from the cut of
fall suits.
A single-b rea st e d

than it's been for two
years. The monotony
of plain colors and
Spitalfields patterns is
broken by the introduc-
ton of small stripes,
dotted stripes, designs
in stripes. T hough
when the designs are
large, it is best to
choose them very care
fully, for they must be
done in perfect taste to
look well. This year
men started wearing

prints right after Christ

a tone that harmonizes.
The m a rity of
Washington men wear
a snap-brim hat for
nearly all daytime oc-
casions, but it is not
the hat that London or
New York sponsors
with the new more
fitted suits. A hat with
a high, tapering crown
and narrow rolled brim
is much more suitable.
There is one snap-brim,
however, that is better
than other s1la p-brims
for the new suits. 1t
is permanently rolled
up in the back so it will
not come down. The
front may be turned
down, but the whole
brim is very narrow,
the crown high and
tapering, so that it is,
less casual in feeling
than the usual snap
brim. This hat is shown
by, several Washington
stores. Some authori-
ties recommend a shall:
low crease in the crown
to make it look even
taller.

dies out, men couldn't
make the suit do double
duty for golf and of
flee. So now the
double-duty suit is the
belted-back jacket with
matching knickers, the
jacket good with flan-
mel trousers later on.
The knickers are worn
with a slip-over sweater
instead of a vest. These
suits are in plain shades
of tan mainly, which is
also correct with flan-
nels, or in a few varia-
tions such as hounds
tooth checks.
Knickers are shorter
and not so wide, giving
a trimmer appearance.
Later on, very light col
ors are expected to be
good in knickers, such
as yellows, light tans,
and silver gray, a good
sportswear color.
New sports jackets
for wear with flannel
trousers are of camel's
hair or gabardine, in
smart shades such as
reddish brown. Flan-
= nels are in colors and
in striped effects. For
real sum mer wear,
there will be gray flan.
mel suits. For beach
and resort wear, linen
suits in colors such as
light blue and orange
are mentioned. Linen
coats may also be worn
with flannel trousers.

Spring Brings
Three New
Color Ranges

There's an interest
ing color story in the
spring fabrics. All col
ors have more life,
more warmth, and will
be more becoming to
every man. The lead
ing colors are grays,
tans and browns and a
new gray-blue that is
sometimes called pow
der blue.
The grays are de-
scribed by the differ
ent houses as resem-
bling the tones of fine
old pewter, or as hav-
ing an overcast of an
other color to add
warmth and life, such
as grays toned by green
or blue. You must see
them beside the old
graH of other seasons
to apprecis a tie this
subtle change in their
tones.
The browns and tans
are wood tones. There
is a fine medium tan
that is a. lighter inter-
probation. of the wood
brown of fall, a clean,
becoming tone with a
slight feeling of gray
in it. Lighter tans such
as veilum retain ,the
warmth of the fall
browns.
The powder blue or
gray-blue5 that is COM
ing in for spring is ex-
pected to be very sue
cessful because it is a
soft, subdued tone that
will not glare under
artificial light. Men
like lighter blues, but
will not wear an ugly
blue. This seasons
grayed blue answers
every dictate of good
taste and smartness.
In patterned fabrics
or mixtures such as
sharkskin or herring
bones, there's a ten.
dency to use color on
color rather than color
on white, for a more
subdued effect. For in
stance, black is COM
bined with gray rather
than with white, and
brown with tan makes
for less contrast than
brown with white.
The Washington times., 1930-03-12
The Suit and Fur
nishings Must Go
Together

Together
The most noticeable
thing about modern
men and their clothes
, habits is that they now
buy the separate parts
of a costume to go to-
gether. No longer do
they buy a suit, a hat in
another color, a bunch
of ties and shirts, and
wear the first that
comes to hand. Now
shirts, neckwear, hand
kerchiefs and socks
harmonize,. and more
than thai, they go with
the suit, either in close
harmony or in contrast.
Two color ranges are
enough to carry out in
one costume. and are
much better than a
monotonous, one color
effect.
A good principle to
remember in selecting
clothes is that the suit
should be q back
ground 49, The man
should be more notice.
able, have more per-
sonality than his suit.
And his suit should not
only be a background
for him, but for his fur
nishings as, well. The
most obtrusive parts of
his costume e, focal
points we might call
them, are his hat, his
cravat and his shoes.
If more men were con-
scious of this fact, and
of the effect these ac-
cessories make, they
would exercise more
care in, their selection
and condition. There
would cert ainl,y be
few er battered hats
and stringy ties.

the good colors are

Art Is oppressed in this mechanical
age, Prof William A. Boring, director
of the School of Architecture of Column
bia University, declares in his annual
report, made public by President Nicho-
las Murray Butler.
"Our ideals are too cheap" asserts
Prof. Boring, who holds that great ma
terial advantages fail to give rise to
sublime music, great literature or great
art
Prof. Behring'S conclusions are in
agreement with the recently expressed
views of Ignace Paderewski, who be-
lieves that the machine age is working
against art, and that genius, and there
fore the creation of great art, is i'm
possible under the present system OF
living
Prof. Boring, long prominent in the
American Institute of Architects, said,
in discussing his report, that, like Pad
erewski, he looks for the renaissance of
art to take place in America. Like
Paderewski, also he feels that the hope
Of the world is in youth.
Mans achievement in art reflects his
ideals of beauty" Prof. Boring says.
what visions rule his mind, guide his
hands in his work, give beauty to his
creation, If, in his soul, he sees beauty;
but if he has not a fine ideal Of beauty
his work is without charm.
"In this mechanical age we are sur
rounded by new inventions of form
which show function, power and move
ment, forms which amaze and impress
