The Male Corner
By Edword Lawrence

Just what constitutes a we'll
dressed man?
That is question that takes
more confidence than conpe-
tence to answer. It's more a
matter of being sure of your
own good taste than OF know
ing a passel of rules decreed by
some mysterious authority"
Thus, be it understood that we
will describe a well-dressed
man on the basis Of what we
confidently believe is a we'll
dressed man.
First, everything he wears
fits him perfectly and COM
fortably. and looks it. What
he wears makes both himself
and his audience feel at ease.
To attain this double goal he
enters into a partnership with
the salesman and filter where
he buys his clothes.
Little Podding
His suit coat has very little
padding, especially if he is
broad-shoulrered. The suit with
absolutely no padding is too
extreme for most men. Loose
ly labeled the "Ivy League
suit" this garment has start
ed a charcoal fire all over the
Northeast, but many fellows
who are warm for this form of
attire should cool off.
Bushels of glowing adjec-
tives have been falling like
autumn leaves, all about how
the super-slim look glorifles
the natural masculine figure.
Maybe. But several years
hence the average man Is 60
ing to look at photos taken to-
day and feel that he re-
sembled, at best, a salt shaker,
narrow topside and broaden
ing downward.
His jacket has one, two or
three buttons. Only one is
buttoned, and that one at the
natural waistline. Lapels are
narrow. The length of the
jacket comes to between the,
tip and first joint of the
thumb, although his sports
jacket may be a shade longer.
Any Color. Any Time
He wears any color suit,
dark or light, any time of the
year. He always wears colors
that best suit his complexion
and hair. For instance, If his
skin is dark he favors light
colors.
He always wears q hat out
doors. The brim is narrow,
about 21s to 21A inches wide.
He avoids too high a crown,
especially If the brim is very
narrow. He does not wear too
low a crown, especially If the
brim is rather wide.
He wears either q white or
colored shirt, in a number of
collar styles, but never a very
widespread collar. II the col
lar Is narrow, he makes a four
in-hand knot In the tie. If
the collar has a medium
: spread. he makes a neat, tight
windsor.
The socks he wears with q

wears black shoes with his

charcoal-gray suits. although
he will also occasionally wear

with any suit except the dark

shine at all times.

attempts to get rid OF security
risks at Fort Monmouth, at-
tempts that bore fruit only after
the Investigations subcommittee
arrived on the scene.
It Is surely not significant that
the Communists desire that the
names Of the Pentagon officials
who were responsible for the pro-
motion and honorable discharge
Of Major Peress be kept secret.
But it is most significant that as
q matter of fact these names
have never been disclosed.
It is hardly significant that
the Communists should have
wanted to divert an investiga-
tion Of the friends Of Major Pc
ress to an investigation Of those
who had exposed Major Peress.
But it absolutely beggars belief
that they have managed to do SO.
In view Of this pattern Of Com
munist succeSS-in view of the
Communists uncanny ability to
strike back just when 1t would
appear that their strength has
dissipated-can any one doubt
that the security of this country
Is still In great danger?

But while I would never have

doubt that one day, and perhaps
soon, the American people will
