harmonizing shades. The
more vivid and irregularly
striped neckwear seems to be
on the wane. Some authori-
ties mention plaids and shep-
herd checks as newcomers
that will demand attention
later, but they have achieved
no great popularity so far.
Of course, now suspenders
or "braces" are still in use,
but later belts will take their
place. Watch the new belts.
Trends toward greater in
terest in texture and color
have been seen the last year
or so, and various features
may develop this season.
The new handkerchiefs to
wear with these spring
clothes are of white linen,
with hand-rolled hens, and
colored border designs in the
same tones that appear in tie
The Washington times., 1931-03-11
Topcoats Offer
Great Variety

This is topcoat season, and
if you haven't already
bought your topcoat, look at
the new coverts by all means.
They appeared last season
also, but didn't attain the
popularity that they will this
season and next. Covert is
definitely a fabric for city
wear when it is made into a
topcoat, and that limits it for
some men, for those who
want a coat for all purposes.
Covert is particularly good
in double-breasted types.
Other topcoats are in plain
grays, and they are proving
the most popular. Then come
the tans, following the same
color trend that we find in
suits. Natural camel's hair
coats have lost none Of their
popularity with a certain
group of men. In their
lighter spring versions, they
may take white buttons, or
those in natural color. The
polo coat is now a classic,
and will always find a place
in the wardrobe Of the
sportsman, as well as many
other men who do not actu-
ally take part in any sport.
Topcoats are equally good
with set-in or raglan sleeves.
The Washington times., 1931-03-11

spring, though double
breasted suits will undoubt-
edly be more popular than
ever in the fall. One author
ity predicts that gray flannel
double-breasted jackets Will
be worn for sports when
summer arrives, following a
fashion that developed at
Palm Beach this midwinter.
The most popular suit will
be, of course, the single
breasted suit with two but
tons on the coat, and notched
lapels. It is conservative,
comfortable, and suitable for
men of all types and ages.
1t is equally good in plaids
or plain weaves. Sometimes
there are three buttons, and
again single : breasted suits
have peaked lapels, but most
authorities do not consider
them as good as the simpler
notched lapel.
The Washington times., 1931-03-11
New Neckties
Bring Color Interest

Color is the main theme of
spring neckwear, as it should
logically be. The colors are
a relief after a winter Of
dark tones. The predomi-
nance Of gray suits makes it
easy to wear many strong
colors. Again we find the
pastels in first place, but
again, they are not feminine
pastels, but strong, vigorous
colors in the lighter shades
of blue, green, orange, and
so on. Purple will be good,
too, due to its ability to har-
monize well with grey. Plain
color ties are not as popular
as they were last year, and in
their place we have minia-
ture figured designs and
simple stripes. Two or three
tones are often combined in
the figured patterns, and the
background Of the silk is
well covered. Stripes are
regularly spaced, and usu-
ally are close, often featuring
two or three tones of the
same color, Of two or three

Urquhart plaid is tOorn by some
of the best dressed men. This

The Washington times., 1931-03-11
Try a Hat With
The New Shaped Crown

Nothing gives a mans ap-
pearance a bigger boost than
a new hat. Many an old
suit and topcoat is made to
look fresher and neater be-
cause the hat worn with it
is new and scrupulously
clean. So even if you re not
planning to buy everything
new, do invest in new hat.
First of all the colors are
fresh looking, and secondly,
there are new lines to the
hats that will give you a
feeling of having something
different.
Especially good, and be-
coming to most men is the
new drop-tip or telescope
crown. This crown, named
the "Chesterfield,'' was
brought out last fall, in a
modified version. But be-
The Washington times., 1931-03-11
Shirts Follow the
Plain Color Trend

Again plain colors pre-
dominate when we come to a
discussion of shirts. Plain
shades and Whites have the
lead, though, of course,
many men prefer stripes and
will continue to wear them.
Stripes, when they are worn
are narrow, and are incon-
spicuous. Pastels are good,
not the feminine pastels that
women wear, but manly
shades that are nevertheless
of pastel value in the color
family. The majority of
men choose white shirts for
actual summer wear, and
the only difference in shirts
The Washington times., 1931-03-11

Of high price and low price
is the fabric used.
Most shirts for spring and
summer will have their col
lars attached. There are
new lines to the collars, how
ever. They have shorter
points, either rounded or
square, though by far the
majority will be rounded.
You will see this collar pic
tured in our illustrations.
The tab collar is also good.
1t is another style introduced
by the Prince of Wales that
has taken well with men on
both continents.
The Washington times., 1931-03-11
Gray is the
Leading Spring Color

The biggest news in suits
is that more of them are
gray than any other color.
Grays are light or medium
in tone. There are blue
grays, too. They are grays
that have such a blue cast
that you might think they
are blue in a .,uor light.
They are not very dark, and
are very becoming to many
men. Tans are next in the
color story, and are a good
runner-up, but will probably
not reach the popularity Of
the grays at any time dur
ing the spring season.
If you want a suit that is
very new and different, buy
a Glen Urquhart plaid. Glen
Urquharts are not new. They
were smart in the nineties,
then again Is years or so
ago. This time they got
their start through the spon-
sorship of the Prince of
Wales, as do so many new
styles. Last fall a few
courageous men wore them,
and this spring many, many
more will follow their lead:
These plaids are regular and
made of a group of stripes.
We have had a suit sketched
that illustrates them. They
are good in grays, tans, or
blue-grays.
The Washington times., 1931-03-11

and socks. They are neat, a
bit gay, and never gaudy.
Most of the hosiery that
men are choosing now is in
deep colors, as they have not
yet gotten winter out Of
their bones, but later the
lighter tones will come in;
those same stronger, darker
pastels that we find in neck
wear.
Among the smart novel
ties that are also useful,
we've seen a good many tie
clasps in use about town.
They will no doubt receive
even greater sanction when
summer weather comes, and
men discard their vests.
They are the flat type that
60 nearly across the tie, and
they often have a simple,
uncarved stone for ornamen-
tation.
The Washington times., 1931-03-11

Mems clothes have not
changed radically since last
season. The man who wants
to stick to the same things
he's been wearing can do so.
But at the same time, there
are enough new and exciting
features now in fashion to
put quite a punch into Sc
lecting a new spring suit or
topcoat. Clothes are still
conservative, and there is
more and more of a trend
The Washington times., 1931-03-11
Men Choose Plain
Weaves for Suits

If you want something
more conservative than a
plaid, choose a plain weave
this spring. The weaves
are smooth and soft, and
suits of these new frabrics
will be comfortable and easy
to wear. Flannels will make
many of them, flannel's
sturdy enough to stand hard
wear, but with that desirable
softness that all men like.
Flannel is especially good
in gray, and surprisingly
appears in doublc-breasted
versions.
This is most unusual in the
The Washington times., 1931-03-11

toward plain colors and more
plain colors. Nevertheless,
there are high spots in the
masculine mode that lend
variety, spice, ind give a
chance to the man who
really wants to, express his
individuality and taste in
his apparel.
The Washington times., 1931-03-11

cause it was modified, and
not quite high enough, it
did not telescope very well.
So it is now back again in
the correct height to fold in
a neat crease about the top
of the crown. It is espe-
cially suitable to the soft
snap brims that men seem
determined to cling to, and
it is almost universally be-
coming. Of course you may
wear a pinched crown, and
it still holds first place in
numbers, but do try the
drop-tip.

TAXFOR STREET
LEVY FOUGHT
Times Staff Photo

Contending the town council of
Hyattsville, Md. would be passing
a confiscatory measure when they
levied a tax on improvements to
Cecil Avenue. Prof. George j.
Shulz, property owner, appeared
before the municipal body last
night attacking the equity of that
body in proposing such legislation.
Mr.. Shulz charged that a town
ordinance had been violated when
the construction of Cecil Avenue
was completed last January, in
asmuch as no parking space had
been provided for his lot. He
further stated that neither he nor
his wife were given sufficient
notice of the proposed street con-
Struction before the work began.
Mr.. ShulZ declared his prop
erty was gradually being confis-
Gated by the town in that the
cost of the assessments was in
excess of the value of the lot. He
poined out that no improvement
done to the street had benefited
his property.
The tax assessment on the
street was passed by the council
by a majority vote. The new
assessment provides for a pay.
