ORIGIN OF MAN'S VVARDIIOBE NO LONGER. REMAINS A MYSTERY

Modern men's clothes have been shaped by a strange mixture of_ frivolous and severely utilitarian considera tlons . Vanity and desire other people supply of dress refomis, the practical ones last. To be well dressed, a normal man needs: one blue serge suit (double- breastcd only if reasonably slim and tall), one grey flannel’ suit, one lounge suit, one tweed suit, one grey and one white pair of flannel trousers. black morning coat with striped trousers. dinner jacket. tails. one pair of evening dress trousers, macintosh , light and heavy overcoats .

The coat is a development of the doublet. The Cavaliersvfirst made it worthy of being called a coat. Their doublets reached the thigh, with elbow-length sleeves bedecked with ribbons. . Buttons on coat cuffs were orig- inally used to keep folds in posi- tion. Similarly, the buttons on the back of morning tail coats are there because their predecessors, square fvockcoats. were a. hindr- ance when riding. The flaps were buttoned back, and gradaally dis- appeared. leaving tails instead.

As’ early as 1682 it was the fash- ion to leave undone the last few buttons of the long waistcoat. largely because hunting men found that this preserved the fit. Trousers were introduced by the French revolutionaries. “sans cu- lottes" ibreechles ones). who wore “leg-sleeves" to cmphasirie their antagonism to bourgeois knee- breeches

Hats have been almost every shape and size which a man could carry. Probably the first hat was a. straw, used for protection from the sun. Straw hat making had be- come an important industry by the 17th century. when 14.000 straw hat makers petitioned the Government to withdraw its decree insisting on the w: .ll'll1g of woollen caps.

Ties began to evolve when collars became lower and left a consider- able expanse of neck. This was protected and adorned by a knot- ted scarf. Tics came by way of cravats, stocks. Ascots, four-in- hands, sailor knots. and butterfly bows.

The collar probably comes from the white linen. turned-down. washable collar of the Roudheads. collar.-. became stiff to support large cravaus.

Dear Dorothy Dlx—f have been married for sixteen years to one of the best men in the world. several years ago my husband was taken ill and had to quit work. The doctor advised him to go in the country. We did so. My husbands health has improved a. great deal and he just loves it in the country and wants to buy a farm. says he would rather die than go back to the city to live. while he is perfectly happy, I do not want to live in the country. I want to go back to the city. In the country we have everything to make us comfortable-5 nice house, a. cow. pigs and chickens, and a lovely garden. Of course, if we went back, my husband would have no Job and would have to look for something to do. but I think if he really loved me he would take me back. Please tell me what to do. PUZZL-ED.

Answer:

I think the thing for you to do is to make yourself satisfied with liv- mg in the country. because evidently that is the only place in which your husband can be healthy and happy. If you force him to so back to Down to please you and he has to go through all the strain and stress and anx- iety of trying to find a job, he will break down and probably die.

You see things have changed so much since you left the city. Old firms have failed or gone out of business. New people have come in. New business methods are in vogue. Another man has your husband’; job who would Tidt‘ be discharged in order to give it back to him. And, any- way. a. man who is in poor health and who has been out of his job for a few years has no chance in competition with the healthy, husky young chaps who are doing things in I modern manner.

My advice to you In to so down to the city for which you pine so much. stay a month or so and see how you react to it. when we am away from our old homes we idealiza them. We remember nothing about them ex- cept whrt is glamorous. That is what you are doing. You are thinking of life as you lived it when your husband was well and had 9, good Job and your old circle of friends were about you and everything was prosper- ous and happy.

Y0“ Cl!“ 511-118 that back. Go back and see how haul it is for men out of work to get any sort of a. job. see how poor so many of your old friends have got to be. See how they have to skimp on butter and eggs and every kind of food. See how cramped are their quarters, Have your nerves torn with the noise of the city. And my word for it. you will go back willingly to your quiet, comfortable. country lifu where your husband can have his health and be happy. Doluyrfiy Dix,
