5' Notiioei Men's Clothing

First, 'W0men Declare Ties Are Top Article

when I man enters the room the first thing I wc-man notices about hi.m is his clothes. so say more than half the women polled in I recent nation-wide survey in the United states.

The same story is true in Can- Idl. In a cross-section survey I dozen women were asked what ap- Deered on the horizon. seven wean- eu noticed clothes first; five women noticed general good grooming.

Ties were top article of clothing noted; shirts and hats were next. Beneral good grooming side. women notice well-pressed clothes. haircuts and clean nails. Here are some of the answers:

Aimuslc and art critic: "Quality of his linen is the first thing I notice. Whether it is well-launder- ed or cheaply done. At a glance acrcss the room I can see whether I man has his shirt done at home or in I laundry. No woman can do the job as well as I larundry."

A waitress in a cafeteria: "I look at the expression on a man's face first. I guess. 1: he looks 31'6"-lchy. I say to myself, this isn't my day. Then I say Tea or cof- fee?' But if he's smiling. then I say 'H.cw are you today?" In my job it's the expression that counts."

A woman newspaper columnist: "E 'f I noti.. whether a man i wearing I. hat or not. Hats are an open diary to a man's charac- ter. A bowler means a. young man who's trying to get somewhere. w..ether luis brim is turned up cr down means something, too." This lady discounted ties. Said she: i"I'2:ey are probably a Christmas gift that he feels he should wear."

A young housewife. married two years: "Shirts. whether colored, or striped, or plain." This woman added that she noticed also the type of tie he was wearing. and the cut of his suit around the shoulder.

A churchworker: "Ties, whether they are lively or dull; whether they suit the wearer or not." She

Q. How can I young unmarried man and his sister word the invi- tations to at wedding anniversary cciebration in honor of their par- ents?

A. This would be appropriate: "Mr. John Robert Smith and Miss Mary Louise smith request the pleasure of your company at the wedding anniversary celebration of their parents. Mr. and Mrs. Harry William Smith, etc."

Q. Is it all right for I. left- handed person to hold his knife in his left hand at the dinner table?

A. No. In many cases this would prove awkward. especially to the person seated at his lefl. He can easily learn to use the knife in his right hand.

Q. Are the letters popularly written at the bottoms of invita- tions ali supposed to be capitaliz- ed, thusly, "R. S. V. P."?

A. only the nrst letter is pro- perly capitalized. as. "R.s.vp."

added: ''I notice also if his suit is neatly pressed."

Mother of two grown-up daugh- ters: ”Posture. I look at first. If a man is slumped, I think it shows that his mind is not alert. I like to see a man'stand up straight." Clothes, she thought. were noticed on second glance. and she classed quality of mater- ial befo1'e ccrrect fit.

Society reporter: "Brightly col- cred ties. A man needs a bright spot of color, and I look to see if a man realizes that."

Secretary in a downtown busi- ness office: "I notice whether a man needs a haircut or not. And a lot around here need it."

A social workers: "Good groom- ing is all-important. I notice his teeth. whether they are well- cared for or not: his hair. and his eyes." :22: added that she studied a man's eyes and whether he ac- cepted or avoided her glance.

Young mother: Material in mill. whether it is tweedy or plain. I notice whether a suit too flashy. and also run-down heels and fingernails.

We spun yarns tonight, with James and Pat about the fire. Picking up old threads, and al- mcst forgotten. to mend the fab- ric of the long ago.

Feminine , Seaso' ifs Fashion

PARIS The last word in Spring fashions for 1061 has been ,1. nounced in this world capital of couture. '

The major designers laid down. their decrees for, women's styles in nine days of preview presenta- tions attended by fashion oct- respondents from all over the world.

Chrlstinn Dior. Pierre Balmain and Jacques Path were presented with awards by the fashion staff of Filenes cf Boston at I large party celebrating the 2.000th an- niversary of the city of Paris. An immense five-tiered birthday cake with 2.001 candles was served, ten men having been employed to light the candles. It took them five minutes.

"Modern living. . . I simplic- fied. more polished look" was the key to Castillo's out. He achieved slimness with feminine accents in softly moulded busts. rounded natural shoulders. unexaggerat- ed waists and long-legged skirt lines in wrap-arounds cut. on the bias.

Othec Castillo touches were extremely original. His "morning glory" skirt appeared in cocktail and evening dresses, featuring a starched, fluted hem ruffle, like the circular ruffed collars of old Dutch paintings. Another evening dress had a bouffant skirt fash- ioned in a basket weave of broad lmgths of white satin. Miniature, duffle bags cf linen went with plzy cic'1:::.

The Paris couture has decided that prevailing conditions are ade- quately acknowledged by the pro- vision of neat tailormade suits, shirt blouses. tiny hats and fleecy wrap coats. For the rest. the world needs cheering and this is a fes- tival year, not so much for Paris- ians a festival of Britain. but one celebrating the Jubilee of Paris, which now admits to 2.000 years.

Pierre Baimnin, showing cer- tainly the loveliest of the dress collections, attaches I Jubilee medal even to the chiffon scarves carried with suits and dresses. And he recalls the fifties of the last century by using wide crinolines under skirts. though he now calls them "evasines." For day he gores or pleats his skirts and uses these wire stiffeners to shoot out the hemline in a firmer version of last season's successful "trumpet flounce." For the evening he has two ver- sions of his wire petticoats. He uses the true 1856 crinollne for romantic tulle gowns with vast skirts, an example of which is a white shirred tulle, zig-tagged all over the skirt and the tiny bodice with tartan silk ribbon. He also uses mailer evasines under the hemline of clinging gowns inspir- ed by the 1seo's and by 1005; flounced heme and trains are supported on wire cages widening out only from below the knees. some of the ball dresses which recall, the opening (and how much less anxious) years of this cen- tury have knmensely wide and brief satin sleeves and decolletes of tulle and roses standing far out over each shoulder and again wire-stiffened to contrast with the skin-tightness of bodies and skirt.

Featured fabrics again included sl-.::ntung and surah. but more sillz, l"7'uding silk prints on shirt- dresses and cocktail rcbes.

Colors used confirmed the "rightness" of navy and white for spring, but brighter hues dear to C::tillo's native Spain appeared, such as a range of yellows "from sunshine in chamois red" and "biarritz blue".

Crinoline Revived, Festival Note In Paris Couture Collections

Elegantly slmpie'

Apart from theatrical touches which the Paris dress shows of I leading couture house s' " such as the dyeing of the little poodle dog belonging to M. Bal- main's secretary to a mauve tint to go with a mauve chiffon dress or the wearing of black raffia hair by the beautiful models showing beach clothes. the day clothes are elegantly simple. The great days of Vionnet are recalled by soft crcpe dresses with sloping should- ers, light drapery across the bod- ice fronts. and skirts made up of diamond-shaped sections all join- ed by a Jour open-worked lines of hand embroidery. Paris has so far neglected patterned fabrics but here Paisley designs in black or navy on white or dove grey are used for many simple dresses. with a light drapery of one tint below a neat belt which is usually yellow.

Young girl ' ”' -I en- tire skirts of patchwork combined with plain tops. also pin-stripe cottons decorated with apples made of the same material stuff- ed like pincushlons. Those clothes, by complete contrast to the crino- line f on or the elaborate dresses inspired by 1905. are easy to wear.

Notwithstanding the great Id-

than are some cannon sense. ev- eryday methods that almost have disappeared. one of these is the old-fashioned practice of taking cod-liver all during the cold wea- ther. I have woken before of see- ing. many yearlilgo. I number of boys in I preparatory school who.

cold weather, went to the head table and took I spoonful of cod- liver oil from their own bottle. This was before the days of vita- min knowledge.

In Proceedin of The Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine. Dr. B. if. I:-shoi! states that experience has shown that requirement: for I number of art-

nrperiments are ...erented on the effects of low temperature on the vltbmin A requirement of lab- oratory rats. A study was made of animals fed purified ration: lack- ing in vitamin A, the rate It which these vitamins left the body and the length of time the rat was able' to-do without vitamin A be- fore it collapsed. The experiments were conducted in I cold roan (36.6 degrees F) and It normal room temperature (73.4 degrees F.) It was found that (1) rats were depleted more rapidly under cold room conditions, (2) body weight It the time of depletion was less ln the cold room than in room temperature. and (3) time before collapse occurred was decreased in the cold room temperature. These experiments. because the rat's body closely resembles the human body in function. teach us the value of eating foods rich in vitamin A to sustain our strength and resistance to disease during the cold weather. '

While cod-liver oil is one of the foods very rich in vitamin A. other foods rich in vitamin A which can be eaten by those who do not like cod-liver oil are: butter. cream. milk. cheese. egg yolk. liver. green and yellow vegetables. tomatoes. vitamin B foods to be eaten arc: yeast. wheat germ. malted milk. ham. bacon, whole wheat bread.

A SUDDIIN turn in the trend of events may add the element of drama. romance or a spectacular cast to aifllrs already on the "up and up". While this new factor may accelerate good fortune and an expansive program there is danger of an error in judgment which could work against prom. lsed aid from influential sources. Keep in levels of logic and reason while seeking desired cooperation of capital and prestige.
