 New York-In the Easter parade this year, the we'll dressed beau will be known by his stripes. Hell have a new Easter bonnet, of course, and probably a suit, but both of these will lack 100 per cent dash unless they are high lighted with smart up-to-date shirts and neckties.
 Color is king in the new shirtings. Not blatant color just for its own sake, but smart sophisticated tones clevely manipulated to accent the outfit rather than thrust chron- iinatic thumb in the eye of the be- holder. Style is lined up with stripes of every sort. But definitely out- standing are the cluster outStand- ing are the cluster stripes, groups of fine hairlines that club together to form one fairly wide panel. And when the clusters are limned on white, gray or very pale grounds, your shirt is unmsitakenly Spring ---lo37."

 Aside from the holiday selections, the season for proms, formals, and other social functions is not fast approaching, but already here. Tuxedo, cutaway, and all accessor- ies will be found by the sociallite, whether he be desirous of the daz- zling, or conservative type.

 Instead of smooth, flat sleeves at the shoulder seams, the new mod els have draped folds. The chest is also draped. They capture that highly prized and admired air of il1- formality and nonchalance. The sleeves are trimly tapered, wide at the top and rather narrow at the bottom. And what boon the new .draped chest is to most men, with its additional fullness and soft front which permits the fabric to drape, giving the wearer Q natural &iatter- ing "chestiness."
 Jackets with the cape sleeve head are an innovation, and offer perfect fit and comfort without the extra weight and warmth of sleeve Things. The newer, better jackets are more flexible than before, extremely soft, with natural draping qualities. On another subject, the men of all ages are demanding the Talon trou- ser closure, because of its modern, practical convenience.
