Men s Caps Aren't Just Coming Back,
They've Been With Us All The Time

caps when they motor or play golf.
Unless somebody just happens to
be such an individualist he wants
to stand out in a crowd in which
everybody else is wearing a hat.
Mostly, though, caps now are
bought for sport.
OF course, those male Apache
dancers you sometime see in the
movies or winding up stage show
usually wear caps. And Hollywood
has apparently tried to make them
a trademark Of tough guy be-
cause almost every gangster you
see sports one.
That's about all there was and
is about caps right now.
One of the interesting items l
cleaned from my conversation
with Mr.. Stein was that there have
been no really new styles for men
in the past four years. This is be-
cause most of the young men, who
usually set style, have had their
styles set for them in the form OF
a uniform during the war period.
BY inference, you can figure on
seeing some new rinctums in
mems clothes pretty soon since the
boys are coming home. Right now
they're buying enything in the way
of civilian clothes they can get
their hands on.
Normally, there are four sources
of styles in mems wear in the
United States. Among the college
men new ideas usually stem from
Princeton and Yale. l was surpris-
ed to learn that Harvard carries
little weight in collegiate clothing
circles. Seems that Harvard is too
conservative and the rest of the
colleges and universities pay little
attention to what is being worn in
Cambridge.
Among the class known as the
idle rich, styles stem from Palm
Beach. Some pretty colorful stuff
in the way Of mems apparel comes
out of the Florida resort. What
happens in this case is that
wealthy men at Palm Beach origi-
nate their own styles. After these

customed everybody to going without,
nine-tenths of the time. If the strikers
have any idea that they can win public
favor for their demands they are off
the beam.
: The packers would be well within
the rights of American citizens if they
refused to negotiate further with the
strikers but employed other men and
operated on an open shop basis.

There's been so much talk late.

shirts and shorts went down to
have clarifying chat with my old
friend A. T. Dowdy.
Mr.. Dowdy is privy to such odd
ments of personal DATA about me
as the measurement OF my girth,
neck size, now much padding will
be needed in the shoulders of a
suit to bolster me out to man-size
and how much I'd be able to stand
for a hounds-tooth number.
There being little in the way OF
Qualification anybody in the cloth
ing industry can do this day and
time, I ended up talking with
Lewis Stein about, of all things,
mems styles.
One of the things that drew nay
attention was the display of caps
in the Stein window. Now, I was
under the impression that caps
went out with the busters the dan
dies used to wear when they went
out for an afternoons automobile
drive.
I remembered - from old
chromes I mad seen, of course -
that caps were quite an item back
in the days when Teddy Roosevelt
was coming along fast. Such out

can scene as John L. Sullivan wore

rakishness.

terest when President Truman
wore one on his sea trip to the
Potsdam conference.
But, all in all, until I saw the
Stein display, I thought caps went
out at about the same time peg
legged pants went out. It is moth
ing unusual to report was wrong.
Caps, it turns out, are always
good item with the mems stores.
True, you no longer see the
young or old : man-about-town
wearing one to his office. Or in
the business district.
Men nowadays usually wear

have been worn for a spell, the
manufa cturers pick up the IDEAS
and make similar items at price
within reach of you and me.
Among t h ultra-conservatives,
Wall street sets the styles. Usual
ly these styles take the form OF
sombre but faultlesly tailored
suitings.
The flasher set get their notions
for flamboyant creations from the
people who hang out around
Broadway at Times Square. This
is the theatrical crowd.
All these bits of information
picked up in my talk with Mr..
Stein. When wondered out loud
to him about where Hollywood
comes into the mems style pic
ture, I was told that Hollywood
is just sort Of youngster in the
style-setting business. Hollywood
is trying to get its ideas across,
but in this flashy end of the mems
wear world most everybody still
clings to Times Square. Anyway,
it seems Hollywood got most of
its ideas from Times Square in
the first place.
Mr.. Stein couldn't give me any
good reason why there aren't any
outstanding names in mems wear
like the Schiaparellis, Carnegies,
Adrians, and so on of women's
wear. He did mention Graziazzi
and Wetzel in New York. But they
are so little known that both Mr..
Stein and I, working together,
could not figure out how to spell
the first name.
Just in case you'd like to know
something b out style trends,
though, Mr.. Stein told me the two

back strong.
That, have to report, is about
all there is new in mems clothing
circles hereabouts. AL I could
find, that is.

he hadn't tried to then. because he
didn't want to rush him.
The small boy came closer to the
picket fence and when Bill Brent
looked at him this time. he kept
remembering what he'd been like
and how he'd felt when he was a
boy; all the times his family had
moved into strange houses. and all
the many things he'd had to get
used to.
He saw this boy coming over to
see Jed every day Saw Jed carving
things out for him. getting him ac-

something. Itneeded the simple heart

began to seep into Bill Brent's veins.
Then they both saw the small boy
at the same time. He was looking
over at them with curious, wIsttul
eyes.
Bill began remembering the boys
parents, the two he had sold the
McHugh house to. The man was
veteran, he walked with a limp, and
there had been tight. hard look on
his face. The woman had wanted
the house the. most, had wanted to
live in Hamilton. She and the boy
had been living in the city while the
man was overseas. She had done de-
fense work and saved money.
Old Jed said, II got to get me a
piece of wood and get going on
little carving. I've made guns for all
the kids around here Whitfield out
toys and animals for them too.
Y'know, there's always kids here
with me-"
Bill cleared his throat and said,
"Jed, what about selling your place
now -

morning They were out in back

lonely. 1t sure would be good to see
her laughing.

this street. The neighbors dropped
around to see our garden, and before
long they let me show them how
to do their own gardens. We painted
our house - and the others painted
theirs. Then when John White was
sick, everyone pitched in and helped.
After that, folks that hadn't been
speaking to each other began being
neighborly."
Bill Brent shifted uneasily. He
had to nail old Jed today.
