Overcoats, Too,
Are Conservative

Overcoats may not be a
necessity yet, but their style
points are already decided,
so they deserve discussion
now. They, too, will be of
fleecy fabrics, and some of
them of fine camel's hair.
South American hair is used
in many of them to good
advantage. Boucle is as good
as ever, and is the choice of

Autumn Crays

Gray is by far the out
standing color in both me-
dium and dark shades. This
is true of both suits and top
coats and we find gray run
ming the whole gamut of
furnishings, too. Browns and
tans are next, and they will
find some sponsors, as there

many men because it almost
never wears out. Even the
tweeds and herringbones are
rather subdued, and there
are more plain shades than
patterns, so that coats fol
low the same trend toward
quietness and modesty that
suits show. Sometime even
a herringbone weave will be
all in one color, so that it
will not be at all obtrusive.
The Washington times., 1931-09-23
Lines More Fitted

Suits achieve their feeling
OF dignity and formality
through lines that are a
little more shapely, a bit
better fitted in the waist,
no matter what type the
suit may be. Lines are
sharper, more clean cut,
with shoulders more squared,
and all outlines more clearly
defined. Such small details
as hand-stitching about the
lapels and other visible
parts Of the coat and vest
contribute to dignity and a
look of fineness and be-
speak a higher standard of
tailoring.
The Washington times., 1931-09-23
Gray, Too


Topcoats are all rather
light in color, and here again
we find the grays in first
place, with the browns and
tans next, often rather light
because Of the natural cam
els hair color that is often
used. Harris tweeds make
smart topcoats, too. The fab
RIGS are often fleecy, though
some of the finer camel's
hair coats are very soft and
smooth.

are men who always prefer
brown. There will be a few
blues also, true blues, such as
dark navy and off shades.
The Washington times., 1931-09-23
Back To Formally

The conservative aspects
of the mode are the dark,
plain colors that are used
for suits and overcoats, the
plain colors that are used
for shirts, and the dark
hues that color the new
ties. In perfect harmony
with this feeling is the
more formal, ele CANT
trend, expressed in suits a
little more fitted, in starched
collars and cuffs, and in
small details of workman
ship throughout all the
wardrobe. Men will wear
more double breasted suits,
and more Homburg hats
this year than they have
for some time. Perhaps it
is due to the fact that
women dress with so much
more elegance, and to move
in their society, men feel
that they, too, must dress
with dignity and distinction.
The day of the casual,
shapeless suit is going, and
in its place we have clothes
that give a man a look of
importance.

. Quiet Distinction
Marks the We'll
Dressed Man

Conservatism is again the
keynote of clothes for men.
But with their modesty
there is quiet elegance, a
formality that is quite dis
tinctive, and that gives a
man a very we'll = dressed
look. Now that competition
between individuals h a
taken a keener edge, men
dress to look successful, to
impress their fellow man
with their ability to order
all things well, including
their own appearance.

From the parish Of Stoke Poges,
England, whose immortal history runs
to the Domesday book Gloss A. ID
and whose church history Is fairly
complete back to the year 1107, went
not a few who helped to people the
American colonies; but the attachment
they are most fond Of bringing to the
attention of Americans is through the
Penn family. The famous Quaker
founder Of Pennsylvania came from
these parts, but is buried not in the
Penn vault at Stoke Poges, but in the
simple Quaker burying ground at "Jor-
dans," six or seven miles away. The
Stoke Poges estate was bought by
Thomas, son of William Penn, in 1760,
and though for time out of the hands
of the family, the manor house is now
owned by descendant Of William
Penn in the female line. In the an
cient church is not only the Penn
vault and the Tenn pew, but actually
a private entrance to the church be-

"Appetite" and "Hunser"

There is common belief that appe-
tite and hunger are the same thing,
yet the two are different. Scientists
have definitely localized hunger as a
function of the stomach, and find that
the contraction Of an empty, or nearly
empty, stomach is the source of hun
ger pains. AS the stomach is filed
and the walls are expanded hunger dis
appears. Appetite has been found to
emanate from the mouth and throat
area and is influenced by previous
tastes. or odors of food. Pavlov, the
Russian Psychologist. defines appetite
as the flowing Of digestive juices
aroused by the memory of food. The
familiar watering of the mouth at the
sight of what is considered appetizing
food does characterize appetite, he
says.

Where to Get Winter Tan

A winter tan amid the SHOWS is pos
slble for all the tourists who visit
Austria between December and March.
This land Of mountains. lakes and
woods, provides scores of fashionable
resorts for the winter traveller, from
the ski life and toboggan runs Of Bre-
genz on Lake Constance to the snow
trails in the Vienna forest. In spite
Of low temperature, the climate is dry
SO that the cold is not as penetrating
as in more humid lands. 1t is quite
common to see people out in the snow
in light fiimsy dresses, with bare
necks and arms covered with the tan
which is the gift of the warm winter
sun of Austria.

thought of being deprived of it, turned
adrift for the next two weeks, filed
him with terror.
Vane, of course, suspected nothing
like that. But ne saw plainly enough
that valuable officer of the company
was temporarily untitled for business,
and needless of Edwards protests, he
went ahead and arranged for his relief.
By Friday noon it was all settled. He

he knew he wouldn't be able to eat, in
a state Of complete decentralization.
Sixteen days! They'd include Ruth's
departure and Julia's return. He
couldn't go to Julia. Couldn't and
wouldn't. Not after that letter she'd
written to him. And he misdoubted
his courage to stay away from Ruth,
even though now, in his mind, he saw
her for exactly what she was.

JEWS ASKED TO AID
EUROPEAN RELIEF
Religious Services in All
Eynagogues Marked by Pleas
to Raise S2,5o0,OoO.

Pleas to Washington Jewry to con-
tribute literally to the relief fund being
raised to alleviate distress among their
brethern in Eastern Europe marked the
religious services today in. all Syna-
gogues as the Passover holiday drew to
q close.
Speaking from the pulpit of the
Sixth Street Synagogue, Isidore Hersh-
field. co-chairman of the United Jewish
Campaign. graphically described con-
ditions abroad that made the raising OF
a $2,500,0G0 fund in the United States
this year imperative.
The condition Of the 100000 Jews
In Eastern Europe is worse today than
at any time since the years directly
after the war, Mr.. Hershf1eld declared.

All money contributed during the
last decade to better the lot of these
unfortunateS will be wasted if We cam
not provide funds now to maintain
the hospitals We have built and to give
further financial assistance to the Jew
nomic crisis"
Speaking in similar vein at the
Fifth Street Synagogue, Oscar Leonard,
director of the Jewish Welfare Fedora
ton, urged that Washington Jews do
as much for their brethren overseas
as they have done for those in need
here.
At the Emerson Street Synagogue,
Louis E. Spiegler, president of the Dis
trict Zionist Organization, stressed the
need for carrying on the work of re-
facilitating Palestine to create a Jew
ish homeland.
Urges Speedy Relief.
Pointing to the achievements of the
colonists in building up industries and
cultivating the arid land, Mr.. Spiegler
emphasized that Palestine remained the
Europe and that the quicker the work
was speeded up the sooner the country
would be able to accommodate more
emigrants.
Bernard Danzansky addressed the
congregation of the Hebrew Home for
the Aged. telling of the objects Of the
United Jewish Campaign. Half of the
funds of this drive for $50, 900 is to be
devoted to relief work in Europe and the
remainder to the Palestine endeavor.
The actual raising of funds will take
place from April 10 to 81.
Invitations have gone out for ban
quet April 19 at the Mayflower Hotel in
honor of Mrs Charles A. Goldsmith,
prominent leader of Washington Jewry,
who on that day will celebrate her
sixtieth birthday. The banquet also will
mark the launching of the drive.
