Style Guide

The sports coat-slack trend.
which has been growing in popu-
larity during the past several
months continues into the fall
and shows every indication Of
holding its new position. AL
ways a campus .favorite this
casual attire has been taken to
increasingly by younger BUSH
ness men for weekend wear.
Formerly confined to the race
track and the polo field on the
one hand, and to the campus of
college and university on the
other, more and more of the
younger men durink the spring
and summer have been seen ap-
pearing in town and in offices
thus casually dressed-particu-
larly on weekends preparatory
to a two-day jaunt into the coun-
try.
This trend Is another indica-
ton, along with the growing
popularity of the sleeveless wool
sweater worn as a concession to
the vest, of the definite move
ment in mems styles toward
greater freedom and away from
the strictly formal dress 80
popular in the late 1905 and
early 1905.
The predominating favorites
this fall are the plaids, in small
er squares than year ago and
reminiscent Of the more con-
sentative plaids and lighter
over-plaids of three and four

lapel and the pockets without
flaps are favored. Both the two
and three button styles run about

Materials in favor are he

next in popularity are the tan
gabardines and flannels. The
trend to solid browns in Stacks
picks up the new color Diamond
brown, which lends itself to
colorful accessories by provid-
ing dark backgrounds.
Many of the sports coats this
fall will be popular in the tan
shades worn with contrasting
shades of brown in Stacks. In
the east the coats are very much
longer in cut than those worn in
the midwest and far west, al

Labels Tell
Wool Content

Congress in the Wool Products
Labelling Act set up three types
of wool. When you see the term
Wool used, it means it Is new
wool. The other types are re-
processed and reused wool.
According to the definition re-
processed wool is that which has
been spun into yarn but has
never been used by the consumer
in any way. Reused wool, on
the other hand, Is reclaimed from
yarns or fabrics which have been
used by the consumer. Under
this law If SO or more of any
other fiber is used such as cotton,
silk, rayon, that fact must be set
forth on the label or tag and the
percentage of each stated.
Still further, for the guidance
of the consumer, q number Of
outstanding manufacturers Of
wool yarns and fabrics have
made such information available
through identifications supplied
to manufacturers of garments or
finished products. Familiar de-
signations, such as naphthalated
wool on worsted fabrics, have
pioneered in wool products iden-

their place near the front of
the style procession. Three
types of sweaters show signs of
great Fall popularity. One of
these is the gabardine front
pullover with knitted sleeves
and back, which Is almost a
sure-fire hit for sports or semi
sportswear.

Other noteworthy develop
ments include the short model

to the longer gauntlet model of
last year,, thick soles for town
and country shoes, the sloped
front collar shirts (Which are
increasingly popular) continuing
favor for the khaki hat with

Sweaters are
a Fall Need

Sweaters this fall, along with
wooden hosiery and neckties, are
more important than ever. This
Is especially true of the sleeve
less sweater, which Is fulfilling
earlier predictions of moving in
as a permanent part of the sports
and semi-sports picture.
Three types which show signs
of becoming extremely popular
include the old sleeved favorite,
the cardigan, for casual sports
and home wear; the sleeveless
shetland pullover, marked by
solid blues and grays; and the
gabardine-front pullover with
knitted back.
These last two types have be-
come increasingly popular dur
ing the past year for wear under
sports coats.

GLOVE GAMBOL
Gloves are in playful mood
for the Fall season. They are
color conscious to the nth degree,
in a wide range of costume colors
ranging from taupe through
brown, and including deep
greens, reds, blues and wines.
There are gloves that can be con-
verted into mittens, by pulling
up a cowl cuff that FUCKERS up
over the fingers. And there are
fabric gloves that roll up and
down like a Venetian blind, to
any desired length, by means of
cleverly manipulated draw

Fall Fashions
Show Return
.of'Favorites'

Well up In the fashion parade
for mems clothing this Fall are
two old favorites that have '''.d
their, ups-and- downs during the
past ten years. They are the
two-button single-breasted jack

q strong Second wind" and the
Tattersall or checked waistcoat.
which was first in the forefront
of fashion In the days OF gas
lamps and swinging doors.
Strictly speaking, this jaunty
vest has never been entirely out
of things, being worn by the
hardy individualist who believe
that q mans suit is as much his
castle as his home and who puts
on q new straw hat when the
first hot spell comes regard
less of the fact that she may be
the only one wearing a straw
hat.
BROWN AND BLUE
DOMINANT
It is noteworthy, however,
that this in-and-outer Is back.
again, signifying as it does a
trend toward originality and in
dividualism. While it is a safe
bet that this particular garment
won't be seen in offices, indica-
tons are that it will find in
creasing favor for campus and
weekend wear, combined with
odd tweed jackets and Stacks
and sports or country suits. The
two-button single-breasted JAG
ket has always been a contender
with a higher average rating
over the years than the latter
sail vest, but never reaching the
same peaks or depressions. 1t
will be seen ir greater numbers
this Fall in worsteds, cheviots
and tweeds, and in the predomi-
mating color tones of brown and
blue-apparently the only def
nitely discernible influence in
the style picture thus far, with
the exceptions of narrower
trousers and shorter topcoats
and overcoats.
The reason for this economy is
no style within and is hardly con-
sistent with the generous width
of military trousers. 1t Is the
result of a general tendency to
conserve material in the face of
large orders for the Army and
Navy, which during the past
year have required great
amount of wool.
In spite Of the growing favor
found for the two-button single
breasted jacket, the double
breasted maintains its top posi-
ton as the preferred business
suit and as the favorite formal
university suit, worn in cheviot-
striped worsteds, pin dot stripes
and diagonals. AS with many Of
the Fall suits and coats, two of
the favorite colors will be the
Air Blue and Diamond Brown.
Close to the double-breasted
as a business favorite, will be
the three-button single-breasted
with welt pockets. Younger
men will also favor the three
button, slightly longer than the
business type in tweeds and
striped shetlands.
TOPCOATS ARE SHORTER

ed models. these rate as high

the light sanctioned fleeces for

shetlands are the materials in
greatest demand for these coats.

Remove Coating

Sometimes il is necessary to
remove the worn coating from
linoleum that has been lacquefed
or vanished several times. IT is
not advisable to use paint and
varnish remover for this pur-
pose because the composition Of
linoleum itself contains animal
and vegetable oils which are
soluble under paint removerS.
If such removers are used,
however, take care TO clean
them away as soon as the old
varnish has softened and before
they reach the linoleum surface
itself.
A safer method is 10 wash the
linoleum thoroughly then. when
il is dry, sand it with wet or
dry sandpaper.

Gadget Innovations Make

Substitutes
Plastics and other chemical
materials and substances are
used in increasing quantity and
add new color and beauty to the

That marvellous filament n.y.

well as for making stockings.
1t is excellent for brushes and
is available as a bottle brush,
percolator brushes, bathroom
brushes, for busting and clean
ing.
These new brushes will not
shed briStles, nor will the bris-
ties split, fray or mat down. A
shake of the brush after each
use ends the drip nuisance.
The low moisture absorption
also means that pastry brushes
will stay clean and fresh and
won't absorb odors or soak up
grease. These brushes of man.
