The stripe—Which dominated the fashion scene last spring—is still around, but is
getting stiff competition from the check. i
For the sporty, casual, clan, luxury is the mode. Tattersall and District checks and Irish
tweeds have joined the stripe in pace-setting fashion. Also new in sports jackets is the new!
(although women 1 ave been wearing them for years) iridescent fabrics.

spring.
The bailie between the but
ton makers and the belt-in-back
manufacturers rages on. Slacks
will be in the "new" Italian
cut—they feature nution-down
labs on the side and. as in
- jackets, white will gel a large
showing.
Jackets will range from one
button to four depending on the
cut. Variety in buttons is the
fashion with brass buttons, espe
cially on blazers, returning for
another season.
Knitwear will again be the
rage as warm weather returns.
Sweaters featuring crejw necks or
Italian shawl collars will almost
entirely pufeh the V-neck from
the picture.
prion and dacron knit shirts
will retain the high position
they attained last year. Versa
iility will be the byword in
knitted shirts. Convertible col
lars which can be tucked in to
form a cardigan neckline will
set the pace.
The. newest item in dress shirts
is stripes. Pin-striped shirts in a
variety of color combinations will
reappear after many years of be
ing buried. Also new is the perm
anent tab collar which gives the
same effects as, while eliminating,
the collar pin.
Completing your ensemble,
ties will continue to feature the
regimental stripe and foulard
patterns already so popular.
About the only innovation in
neckwear this season will be
ties which only have a contrast
at the knot.
Italy dominates the style in
men’s shoes this spring with a
return after almost two centuries
of the square-toed shoe. For
really casual wear the English
desert boot is still among the
best.
The most important advance in
clothes this year is the fabrics.
•Most lines will feature wash-and
wear dacron and orlon.
• Engagement and wedding rings
are worn on the third finger, left
hand, because the Egyptians be
lieved that the main vein from
'the heart terminated there.

There are only two types of men, it has been said. They’re 1

While most women would probably agree with this, that
doesn’t mean that they've given up on the other sex. On the
contrary, they have quite de;
Smart Men
Don’t Forget
Style ‘Extras’
Whether you're picking up your
date tonight in a sleek new Tri
umph or a rickety Ford or on
foot, she’ll be more interested in
what you’re wearing than in how
you’re getting where you’re go
ing.
Keeping an eye out for color I
combinations is 'among the most
important things to remember.
Good grooming requires good
taste. Cultivate your, ability to
match colors.
Also important is choosing the
right style to fit your physical
makeup. Men with long, thin
necks should avoid .wearing, a
long, pointed collar, while men
with "round faces and bull-necks
will look choked in a short-point,
widespread collar.
Always remember that variety
is a good idea. It provides a
chance for the student to enlarge'
his wardrobe without enlarging
his budget. By proper selection
of sport-jacket and slacks, num
erous variations may be derived
from the same basic outfit.
Finally to be considered is per
sonal grooming. No matter how
stylish or expensive the clothes
you wear personal neatness is
important to your social status.
Clean fingernails, neat hair and
a generally careful air are the
final determinates of a good ap
pearance.

'inite views on the subject.
And if you men want to know
what some of these ideas are,
here’s what a number of coeds
reported yesterday. I
! On first meeting a man, few}
gals can resist taking a quick
but complete survey of the situ-j
jation. What do'they notice first?
[This varies,' but it’s - usually a
i facial feature. -In this case the
I eyes have it, followed by. the
I smile.
Other features are rated, high
—chin, hands, height, general
appearance, even eyelashes. In
the case of eyelashes, it seems
to be the longer the better.
There’s not much that can be
done about this situation, unless!
it’s buying false lashes. But the!
ladies haven’t stopped with con-j
sideration of such surface as
pects. They even have quite posi-]
tive views on the matter of shav
ing lotion.
Most agree that they like it
scented, with Old Spice way
out in front in the popularity
contest. But don’t just switch
to Old Spice and quit worry
ing—a few coeds stipulated
"any shaving lotion except . Old
Spice!"
Thinking of getting a hair cut?
Most gals approve of the idea.
Apparently long, wavy locks are
acceptable only on Liberace and
Lassie.
So there you are, fellows.
That’s a few of the Penn Stale
coed's views on men. If you
want the whole truth. I'd sug
gest finding a talkative gal and
asking her.
