Standardization In Men’s Spring Clothes Standardization of style, simplicity of modelling and a nearer approach to the lines that marked Men’s Clothing of several years ago will feature the Spring and Summer displays this year. Conditions in the clothing industry are more settled than they have been since 1914. Factories are running at top speed, wherever there are orders for merchandise and there hasn’t been the hurry-worry of other years. As a result Clothes have been made much better; fabrics have improved and more attention has been paid to style. Like hundreds of other industries the clothing game is gradually getting back to normalcy. The last two years have been hard ones for almost everyone concerned and the showing financially has been decidedly poor compared with the figures of the previous four years when good clothes were hard to obtain. Better Clothes Made Today While there has been a trend to simplification, there has been some style modifications, all tending to give men better ready-for-service clothes. Never before in the history of the business have such clothes approached the custom-tailored variety so closely. And as a result more men than ever are wearing “bought” clothes—just because the makers have removed all restrictions as to fit, etc. Fanciful ideas of recent years are almost entirely discarded. Of course some makers will continue to make freak models, but they are so far in the minority as to be almost negligible in their effect on present day style. There is the more conventional note in Spring Clothes—both suits and topcoats—a note that is more in harmony with the exacting tastes of good dressers. Trend to Conservatism As in other years young men will wear something that is not on the regular bill-of-fare, but such clothes will be only a passing vogue. Even the “radicals” are coming down to earth and predictions are being made that in a few years the wild ideas in clothes making will be entirely dis- the idea of making a man’s clothes look like a sack as in seasons past. As a rule the coats for young men will continue to show the full-chested effects, but not quite as pronounced as in other years. While the skirts of the coats will be fairly long the flare has been discarded almost altogether—at least it would be as perceptible as in other years. Belted styles will be in popular favor with the wearers of sport clothes. Half and three-quarter belts will win the greatest vote, while the spring pleats, much like those worn in roff suits, will have the call. There are various styles to these. Such clothes will be worn a great deal more in the Summer than in the Spring. Patch Pockets Win Favor Patch and plain pockets are to be favored, while the crescent-shape pockets are taking a back seat in the call again and it will be single-breasted. They will be very little in the style parade. The collarless vest will have the way of trimmings except in the sport or novelty suits. Among the best patterns are those with stripes, but for business and general wear fancy silk worsted herringbones in gray, brown and blue mixtures will be the vogue as last year. Prominent among the newer styles are the so-called Mayflower stripes in shades of gray, oxford, blue and brown. They are made of pure worsted yarns, serviceable because of their all-year round weight. Cheeks which came in several years ago with a rush will be bought by wearers of sport models largely, but there will be such patterns shown in many of the more conservative suits. Shepherd plaids, herringbones in blue, brown and gray stripes, Glen Urquardt, Tartan cheeks and overplaids will have a striping following. Men’s models are made with either full or half lining, while young men’s styles are constructed with French facing and silk piping. Flannels in Various Colors Flannel—the always popular Summer fabric—will get its share of the body tracing and Chesterfield order belted coats, but variety as in other For rainy wee gabardine still hare leather coat which during the war work is progress new hotel site on from the city hall being poured for ture which, it is Fullerton to the So.

Even the "radicals" are coming down to earth and predictions are being made that in a few years the wild ideas in clothes making will be entirely discarded. About the only thing that will be out of the ordinary is the four-button sack or semi-fitted coat. The lapel of this model is narrower than last season and the top button is made useful instead of being an ornament. The front on this coat is soft, with very little padding, so that when the top is button the coat shapes itself to the movements of the wearer. Another extreme idea which really had its inception last Fall, but probably will be the vogue among a certain class of the dressers this Spring, is the full trousers. By that we mean trousers that are shaped in equal fullness at the knees and bottom. Normally there is a three-inch discrepancy at the bottom. This style follows the English idea to a large extent. Double-Breasted Popular The single and double-breasted styles will continue in popular demand, with the former dominating the field. The double-breasted styles, however, have increased with each year, because the makrs have put more style into them and have discarded Cheeks which came in several years ago with a rush will be bought by wearers of sport models largely, but there will be such patterns shown in many of the more conservative suits. Shepherd plaids, herringbones in blue, brown and gray stripes, Glen Urquardt, Tartan checks and overplaids will have a strpng following. Men's models are made with either full or half lining, while young men's styles are constructed with French facing and silk piping. Flannels in Various Colors Flannel—the always popular Summer fabric—will get its share of the honors again. They are for the most part of dark tones, blues, greens, purples, myrtles, various shades of brown and gray, olive greens and tans, with pin stripes, pencil stripes and two toned effects. In mid-Summer fabrics Palm Beach again will rule supreme. The makers have gone the absolute limit in putting the best of style and comfort in such clothes. In other season pieces of cloth sewn together in any sort of fashion was called a suit. Today it's a different story. Among other Summer fabrics that will be worn extensively are mohairs, homespuns, lightweight flannels, tropical worsteds, crashes, rich pongees, shantung and habutai silks. Of course there are other breeze admitting weaves under popular trade mark names but most of them are made of materials listed above. Topcoats Follow Sult Lines As in almost every year of the last decade styles in topcoats will follow the lines of the suits. This applies largely to the shoulders, waistline and chest. Some of the topcoats will be form-fitting, others slightly Delightful Variety in Milady’s Footwear NEVER PERHAPS BEFORE HAVE THE Delightful Variety in Milady's Footwear NEVER PERHAPS, BEFORE HAVE THE FASHIONS IN LADIES' FOOTWEAR BEEN 'SO DAINTY AND ATTRACTIVE.

There are some belted coats, but not in as great a variety as in other years. For rainy weather the popular gabardine still holds the stage. The leather coat which went "great guns" during the war has seen better days. WORK PROGRESSING RAPIDLY ON HOTEL Work is progressing rapidly on the new hotel site on N. Spadra-rd across from the city hall where concrete is being poured for the gigantic structure which, it is believed, will place Fullerton to the forefront among the So. Cal. in hotel accommodations. There are quite a number of workmen who are being employed in the erection of the building. The contest between various citizens who wish to name the hotel has not yet been decided. The names suggested run the whole length of the calendar. New York politicians fighting against schools will go the kid vote. $100,000 IN LACE HELD; AWATTS CUSTOMS COLLECTOR CHICAGO, April 2. — The rarest collection of old laces in the world outside of the Vatican in Home property of Edith Rockefeller McCormick, was held today by Niels Juul, United States collector of customs for Chicago. The laces, valued at more than $100,000, were brought from Zarich, where she spent the last eight years, to Chicago by Mrs. McCormick. Mrs. McCormick petitioned that the laces be allowed into the country duty free, because they are antique. In case duty is charged, it will cost her about $60,000. The laces were in hundreds of small parts, which were made together. The statutes say that in case the antiques are remade, duty must be paid. The question Juul must decide is whether or not, in sewing the many pieces together, they were "remade."

INVITES GUESTS TO REMOVE SHOES NEW YORK, April 3.—The ordinary hostess asks a caller to "take off your things" and lets it go at that, leaving it to the guest to decide on the degree of divesture. Miss Harriet Wilde, New York health evangelist, who lectures on the care of the feet, is different. "Take off those terrible shoes," she invites. When that it done she follows with, "Now take off your stockings." "Now," sighs Miss Harriet Wilde after her caller has complied, "we can talk." She had taken hers off too. "Shoes," she says, "are responsible for more physical handicaps in this country than all the rest of our clothing. My propoganda is for shoes that fit the feet. C. H.
