A Quarter Century
Of Mems Wear

Occasionally, a mems fashion ex-
pert will attempt to pierce the veil
of the future and predict what
men will wear 10, 20, 30 years, or
even a half-century from now.
Their predictions usually in
cludd space suits because they
visualize the man of the future
fitting from planet to planet, in
suits of indestructible fabrics that
repel water, soil, heat and cold,
and, of course, some garments of
streamlined design that will help
men of the future keep pace with
an even more greatly accelerated
pace of living than that of today.
Those erystal-ballers of fashion.
however. take no out-on-a-l m b
chances, nor do they really place
their regulations as experts or
their future credibility on the line.
Few will remember their predic-
tions and fewer still will remem-
ber who made them.
But, a look into the relatively
recent past, says the American In
stitute of Mems and Boys Wear,
shows how mems styles can and
do change - even if in unexpected
ways and for unforeseen reasons.
Let's go back a quarter of a
century to 1887 and see what the
well-dressed man of that yea r
wore, Back in those pre-World
War ii days, the Prince of Wales
was the toast of the Continent and
the epitome of fashion. Virtually
all suits were fitted, with we'll
defined shoulder lines, traced
waists and good amount Of chest
expression. 1t was the hey-day of
the English Drape" models that
stemmed from the custom tailors
of London's Savile Row and Buck
ingham Palace.
The most popular model I h n
Gas now was the single-breasted
three-button suit followed in turn
by the three-button double-breast-
ed, the two-button double-breast-
ed and the two-button sin 81 e.
breasted.
The golf suit" a four-p e e
garment that included a jacket,
vest, trousers and knickers was
still worn, although it had passed
the peak of its popularity and a
new mixed suit consisting of
matching patterned coat and vest
with contrasting or harmonizingly
solid-color trousers was making

news as the casual or country out
fit.
Fashion-conscious businessmen
wore starched demi-bosom shirts
in solid colors and stripes and
usually topped them off with
starched white collars. All busi-
ness suits were made with vests
as were tweeds, even though
sleeveless sweaters and knitted
vests were frequently used with
the casual suits. The fancy-back
bi-swing sport jacket had hit the
skids, but knickers worn W h
Fair Isle pattern golf socks and
matching sweaters were still lin"
for motoring and golf, Fair Isle
patterns, by the way, were fancy
horizontal bands, no two of which
were the same. They were popu-
larized by the same Prince Of
Wales who is now, of course, the
Duke of Windsor.
1t was also the day Of big pants.
Plus-fours (four inches below the
knee) had grown to plus-sixes.
and both suit trousers and slacks
were wide and billowy and worn
with a very high rise - that is,
the distance from the crotch of the
pants to the top of the waistband
was much longer than it is today.
AS a result, most men wore sus-
penders because the belt loops
were we'll above the waistline and
the trousers had, a tendency to
slip.
Although the tropic-weight suit
was far from being new back in
1887, few men were wearing them.
The first suits of man-made yarns
had only recently been introduced
and the fiber was rayon. At that
time, the synthetics needed lot
of improvement but, because of
their low price, they did serve to
introduce tropic-weight suits to
many men who had always re-
garded them as expensive luxuries.
During the summer months Of
1897 men were still compelled to
wear tops" with their swim
Trunks, Iu6n Cdil6u DdJHluS SulIS.
Some of those tops were only
token observances of the law,
skeletonized knits that could be
tipped off when bathing at private
beaches.
On the way to the beach, the
chances are that the man of 1887
wore a slack suit" They were
sport shirts and slacks of match
ing Fabric and, after the first
couple of wearings, they had a
pajama-like look Knitted polo
shirts were widely worn and many
were made of worsted yarns,
rather warm for that time of year.
However, other knits particu-
larly the sailor-striped ba sque
shirts - were made of cotton.
Spread collars virtually domi-
mated the style scene in business
shirts and wide ties in rather
standard stripes and patterns were
worn with big Windsor knots.

u. S. Plane Sale Frown
Stirs British Inquiry

LONDON. Jan. 16 (AP).-
Britain today asked Ambassador
Sir David Ormsby- Gore to make
inquiries in Washington about
the latest United States ex-
preston Of displeasure over the
sale of six Viscount airliners
to Red China, a $9.8 million
deal.
A Foreign Office spokesman
told newsmen the British gov
ernment was not informed in
advance Of a letter setting out
the American Governments
position.
This letter was sent yester-
day to Senator Keating. Re-
publican of New York, by Fred
erick G. Dutton, Assistant
Secretary Of State for Congress
Sional Relations.
The letter stated that an
American company whose Brit
ish subsidiary normally sup
plies navigation equipment for
the Viscounts had been warned
by the United States Govern
ment not to supply such equip
ment in the case of the six
airlinerS earmarked for China
Evening star., 1962-01-16

The Foreign Office spokes-
man said:
I'VE have asked our Ambas-
sador in Washington to inves-
tlgate urgently with the State
Department the reports Of ac-
ton by the United States Gov
ernment."
Washington and London have
been engaged in a tug-of-war
about these airliners which are
built by Vickers.
Until recently Peiping had
always made its airline pur-
chases in the Soviet Union. The
fact the Chinese Communists
were now willing to buy West
ern airliners was regarded In
London as one more indication
of a strained relationship be-
tween Moscow and Peiping.
The United States Govern
ment has never been happy
about the sale. British authori-
ties said several weeks ago that
only some navigational aids in
the plane could be regarded as
coming under the embargo on
the equipment Of strategic
goods to the Chinese Com
muniStS.

drop sharply.
That's what happened in 1865
and 1860. The President re-
called that the steel industry
worked at high capacity for six
months before the 116-day
strike, then was forced to cut
back production and lay of
workers after the settlement.
Against St0ckpiling
Calling for a non-inflation-
ary settlement, he added:
Nov, if an agreement car
be reached between the steel
companies and the steel un-
ion, Of course it would be well
to have it come early, so that
the country and the consumers
of steel would be able to make
their plans for the future
without Stockpiling."
Secretary Goldberg last week
urged steel users to avoid "ar-
ticifial" build-ups of inventories
in anticipation Of a strike. He
acknowledged, however, that
strike fears can be eased only

will expire.
Mr.. Goldberg said last week
that he had been "in con-
stant touch" with steel labor
and management, and the
President yesterday offered the
Secretary's good offices"
Seek to Avert Strike Score
Beyond hoping for a steel
settlement without a strike, the
administration wants to avoid
a strike scare. Only clear signs
of an early settlement would
prevent auto manufacturers
and other users of steel from
boarding the metal as strike
insurance.
If scare buying takes place,
the steel industry will boom
at first. But after a settlement
with or without a strike
steel users would live off their
stocks instead of placing new

union. s-
There have been indications
that steel users are starting
to think about stockpiling, and
some of them probably have
taken action in that direction.
Mr.. Kennedy observed that
the question of whether to
stockpile is up to the judg-
ment Of steel users. and that
the Government has no power
to stop them.

ican interest. He pointed to the
Congo, where he said progress
is being made toward the
establishment of an independ-

The United States also will
continue its efforts, Mr.. Ken

and Pakistan to an accommo-

ment of Adlai E. Stevenson, the
United States Ambassador to

Dispute to Be Topic
One of their chief topics was
expected to be the Dutch-Indo-
nesian dispute.
The President was non-com-
initial on progress made by
United States Ambassador Ilew-
ellyn Thompson in talks with
Soviet Foreign Minister Gro
myko on Berlin. He expressed
hope that after "a reasonable
period" he can make "a much
more concise judgment" on
whether a solution to the Berlin
problem could be found.
To criticism that the West
should have torn down the Ber-
lin wall while it was going up,
President Kennedy declared
that mo one at that time in
any position of responsibility
-. either in the West Berlin
American contingent, in West
Berlin, France, or Great Brit
ain, suggested that the United
states or the countries go in

West Forces Limited
He noted that the Soviet
Union had de facto control in
East Berlin from the late 1940s
and the United States has in
Berlin "a very limited force
surrounded by a great many
divisions"
He judged that you could
have had a very violent reac-
tion which might have taken us
down a very rocky road"
He denied American troops
were in combat in South Wet
Nam, but acknowledged that
the West was taking a chance
