pocket, taere'I be handkerchiefs to
go into it and to show.
So let's please consider them i'm
portant enough to pick them right
in pattern and color. And to fold
them in such way as to keep them
neat and fresh looking.
White Is Right!
Just about the most right of
many right handkerchiefs is the
plain white one. Nobody can ever
make color mistake if he sticks
to that. Which is one good reason
why the all-white handkerchief
stays in fashion. It goes with
everything.
Now this plain white handker-
chief needn't be just a square Of
plain white cloth and nothing else.
Some sort of woven stripe design
still white, though looks better
sticking out Of the pocket.
Blue ranks after white as mems
favorite handkerchief color. But
you'll find plenty of greens, blacks,
grays, dark reds, browns, tans, pur-
pies and yellows, too, usually COM
bined with white.
Match Your Tie
And there's hardly any man, no
matter how much he likes white,
who hasn't some Of these cookbook
ing, colorful striped and patterned
hankerchiefs in his wardrobe.
When a man goes in for colored
handkerchiefs, his best bet is to
pick those that match or almost
match his ties. At least they should
be in the same color ranges. Then
he always has q pair that go to-
gether. Which is pretty safe rule
to follow.
If you're wearing q blue neck
tie, a handkerchief with a blue
border is right. Not necessarily the
same blue, but something from dark
blue to gray blue.
Green Goes With Brown
If q tie is brown, green hand
kerchief can be used. Because
green goes well with brown or tan.
And that's the important part-the
going together well. Tie and hand
kerchief colors should not clash,
even though they contrast.
Most in fashion are the popular
cross stripe designs. Usually with
narrow, hahd-rolled colored edges.
And wide areas of pencil stripes
crossing each other at the corners.
A few Of these designs are illus
trated
grounds with a stripe in another
color. Where the stripes cross each
other, a darker effect is produced.
Stripes are usually grouped near the
borders, leaving the center plain.
Next in order Of Importance are
bar designs-ranging from half
inch to two-inch bars. Frequently
combinations Of bars and stripes
are used.
Most of these have white back
Bandannas Are "Out'
All-over patterns are used, too,
such as Bingham checks and
woven hecks. But bandanna-lik
effects are no longer in favor.
The way you fold your handker-
chief in your breast pocket is i'm
portant. Don't bunch it up and
stuff it into your pocket. It's a
good idea to fold your handkerchief
into square, and then fold the two
side corners toward the center with
the bottom turned up, as in the il
lustration.
That's an effective way of keeping
the handkerchief clean and neat
looking-and in fashion. Because, of
course, it goes without saying that
there is nothing more out Of fash
ion than soiled, limp, bedraggled
handkerchief leaning sl1amefacedly
out Of breast pocket.

Folks Behind
The Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

TINE guitar craze at the turn of the
century caught Harry Reser IN
its net.
i The banjo craze of decade
later swept him to Broadway
London and later to the New York
studios of the National Broadcasting
Co.
There was no musical tradition in the
Reser family. no inkling that Harry
would be trained for a professional
musical career. His musical interest
was first stimulated by a neighboring
guitar enthusiast in Piqua, Ohio, his
home town.
After hearing his neighbor play the
guitar, plus the playing of many other
guitars by young romanticiSts and
| others, Harry induced his parents to
purchase him a half-size model. And
! since that date in 1901, Reser has led
musical life.
Within two years. young ReSer was
taking violin lessons and stunning a
mandolin. The mandolin also was
| quite the rage. At Is years of age. he
was the violinist of piano-violin-trap
drums trio in Dayton, Ohio, theater
Reser also at this time started to study
the piano.
The wanderlust OF youth led Reser
! to a Summer resort in the mountains
of Tennessee, where he played the piano
| for Summer boarderS for two Summers.
1t was not until he returned to Dayton
| and met Fenton Bott, president of the
| Dancing Masters Association OF the
| United States, that he was apprised OF
! the banjo rage Bott had been in Ne"
| York, where all the popular orchestras
! of the daV had a large banjo section.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-07-21

With his violin and banjo, Reser went
to Buffalo, N. Y. Two years later, he
was playing his violin in theater Or
chestra and his banjo in a dance band
at the old Iroquois Hotel. He also
taught a number Of students. After
three years, his health broke and he
journeyed to Bastrop, La, to recuper-
ate. He was there for year
At intervals IN those last few years,
Reser had learned to play many other
instruments, and in 1921 he came to
New York and began to make record
ings both with orchestras and as a
banjo soloiSt. He played a number
of short engagements with other or
chestras, most notable of all that as
banjoist for Paul Whiteman. Whiteman
asked him to accompany his troupe to
England in 1928 to Strum the Stringed
instrument.
Back In New York again, Reser or
ganiZed his own orchestra and began
directing. He first broadcast over the
Bedloes Island station, operated by the
United States Army, he says, in 1924
and then signed the original Gold Dust
Twins broadcast contract in 1924
After ending this engagement in 1925
Reser began directing the F.skimos
Orchestra, December 3, 1925.

DIRECT INCOME
TAX FOUGHT
Tim - taft Photo

Residents of Washington do
not want an income tax or an
inheritance tax added to the
fund raising activities of the
District Government.
Vigorous opposition to these
forms of taxation has been reg
istered with Senator William H.
King CD of Utah, who has an
nounced his intention of father
ing a bill which would impose
both of these taxes upon local
citizens.
Expected Here Soon
Since the Senator, who is rank
ino Democratic member of the
Senate District Committee, stated
that during the summer he would
make study of local fiscal con-
'ditiOnS with a view to intrOduc-
ing these two direct taxes here,
many taxpayers have written him
to protest against his proposal.
Senator King is expected back
in Washington late this week or
early next week, being now on a
trip to Haiti.
Immediately upon his return to
the city, it is understood he will
begin his local study with a view
to framing proposed new taxa
ton legislation.
