TH:E MICHIGAN DAIL PAxE ELVEN
Perfect Woman 's Man Wears
Checked Jacket, Bright Tie
By JOHN J. FLAHERTY !
The perfect Michigan woman's
man wears a checked jacket, gray
slacks, bright plaid tie and socks and
white shoes, a survey of. about 50
representative women reveals.E
Such masculine sartorial touches'
as bow ties, stiff collars and black
shirts are distinctly frowned upon.
When the occasion is normal it is
catastrophic to appear in a tuxedo.
Every woman interviewed expressed
her preference for full dress. And
another point, the carnation in the
lapel should be genuine, not cloth or
feather.
Shoes should be buck if they are
to please most ivomen; white, brown
and grey are all in favor. This mania
for bucks has gone so far that
women do not even object to white
bucks in the winter. Garters should
always be worn, it seems that socks
dragging around the ankles are no
end unpopular.
The design of a suit coat seems to
be a matter very close o the femi-
nine heart. The perect coat has
everything but a knapsack on the
back: bi-swing, pleats and the half
belt are all in great favor.
When asked whether they thought
men on the campus were overdressed
or underdressed, women were divided
in their opinions. A slight majority,
' perhaps, thought that men were a
bit too formal. Many of them
thought that it would be all right
for men to wear sweat shirts and
slacks. One girl said, "At least they
do not have to wear neckties, I think
the boys -look so virile with their
shirts open."
On the question of overcoats and
topcoats women are decidedly in
favor of tans and greys; full belts
will also attract approving glances.
Hats do not seem to hold much
interest for women, although a
slight majority favor the wearing of
hats on dates. T he condemnation of
derbies was general.
TRY THIS ON THE FOLKS
Here is a smart cloth that Michigan
men can wear on the campus, on the
train home, and. to dinner with the
folks without having to fear being
laughed at in any of these places.
It is the return to the smooth hard
finished worsted cloth, after a hectic
few years with the very wooly sports
suits that were becoming so popular
that they were even "right" for town
wear.
Sharkskin is the hardest and
smoothest of all the worsteds - in
fact so much so that one can almost
call it shiny.

Shoes To Fit
Proper Event
Now Favored
Blucher Fronts, Formal
Pumps, And Buckskins
Will All Be Seen
During the past year there has
been a definite trend toward correct
shoes for the proper occasion-a
fact which has been dwelled upon
considerably by those "in the know"
as regards fashions and which is fi-
nally being considered seriously by
shoe manufacturers.
With the trend toward the looser
and rougher type of clothing a de-
cided turn toward grained leather
and heavier shoes has become evi-
dent. Blucher front shoes are enjoy-
ing at the present time a popularity
which they have not had in years.
Buckskin shoes which have been on
the upward trend for years since
their adoption by social leaders have
actually reached the stage at the
present time where they have found
their place in the wardrobe of every
well-dressed sportsman.
A favorite among the sporting set
is the smart monk front shoe. This
shoe is made with thick crepe rub-
ber sole and is marvelously comfort-
able for golf wear. Another favorite
in sporting circles and particularly
with the younger turf set, is the
brown buckskin shoe cut ankle high;
and very similar in lines to the jodh-
phur riding shoe.
During the past fall and winter
season at various outdoor activities
of the equestrian gentry there is a
new type of shoe which has had
splendid reception. This footwear is
very dark red mahogany calfskin
constructed with a square moccasin
effect. It is stitched across the front
much like the Bass model, which by
the way hasn't lost much popularity.
Though a blanket return to the
high shoe era is not one of our pre-
dictions, we believe that this type of
footwear will have n acceptance
with men who are keenly style con-
scious. For that reason we suggest,
in the place of spats which have
been worn to such an extent that
they are no longer, considered smart,
the. substitution again of the fancy
top shoe with pearl buttons for dressy
occasions.
For years the patent leather shoe
has been worn with dinner and tail
coats, but today the pump is hav-
ing a wide-spread popularity with the1
younger set. This group wears them
with dinner clothes as well as with
the tail coat. A favorite model is a
long vamp with a medium high heel
and a rather wide dull rib grosgrain
bow.
But to get back to sensibility, let's
dwell on "just everday shoes."
A selection of shoes from the
standpoint of fashion and economy
would include black and dark brown
calfskin shoes for wear with the
smoother finished town suits, heavy
grain leather shoes for country wear
and rougher town fabrics, patent
leather ties for evening wear.
Wide Variety Is
iBeing Offered
In Men's Hats
By C. BRADFORD CARPENTER
To shelter the brains of the well
dressed college man, haberdashers
are offering what is probably the
widest variety of hats men's fashions
1 have known for several years. From
the gay plaid cap that he wears to
the races to his topper for full dress,
he may find any number of shapes,
colors, and combinations. Pictured
above is the last word in hats for
general use. It has been called the
Tyrolian and the Pork-pie, but is
more popularly known as the Spur
model. Having a low, fiat crown and
a wider brim than has been in use
in the past, it comes in the ever-pop-
ular brown and in a somber blue-
green. Other sn p brim hats in much
favor at the present are the more
conservative shapes built on lines
that have prevailed on American
campuses in the past two or three
years. Plus the much-used choco-
late brown, new colors have been
introduced. Pecan (a dark tan) and
Couvert (a lighter neutral tan) have
met with favor in the east.
For town wear the Homberg hat in
pearl grey and light brown are still
the impeccable headwear. Dinner
clothes are topped by either the
black Homberg or the Opera hat,
the latter being used particularly by
clothes conscious theatre-goers. The
silk hat as well as the Opera hat re-
main the only correct thing for full
dress.
Summer will see many of the new
two-ounce hats with very narrow
band which come in light greys,
blues, and tans. These are giving the
straw hat considerable competition
in view of the ever-increasing trend
of men's fashions to the more in-
formal, more comfortable types of
clothing.
CONVICTED OF TREASON
VIENNA, March 14.- (4P) - Dr. An-
ton Rintelen, former Austrian min-
ister to Italy, today was convicted of
high treason and sentenced to life im-
prisonment in connection with the
Nazi putsch of last summer.
The Pork Pie Hat
Wid e Spread
Collar Takes
On Popularity
Button Down Attachment
Lends Sporty Look To
Man-About-Town
No matter what happens in the
world of men's fashions, one custom
will always remain-the white shirt.
But fro1n time to time, although the
color remains as white as ever, hab-
erdashers come out with new shapes,
especially evident in the collars. Here
are two shirt models which we predict
shall last at least for a year or so.
The Prince of Wales is given credit
for starting the popularity of the
wide-spread collar, and although no
one can ,j hfor_
the true accuracy
of this fact, it is
named after the
famed son of King
1A George.It is now
c ola r - attached
r fmodel which should
r- send a lot of you
flocking to your nearest clothing es-
tablishment so that you will be
among the first to give this model
its debut on your campus.
The wide publicity of the button-
down, collar-attached shirt has pro-
duced many models that deviate so
far from the orig-
inal and authentic
of this good-look-
ing collar fashion
that about all that
can be saidt for r
them is that they
have buttons to
which the collar [
points are fastened.
The new designs
seem to have forgotten the true
worth of this mode, and it seems
that button-down collars can be
worn with practically any design of
collar or shirt.
To be a worthy son of the father,
and thereby to be truly smart and
fashionable, this shirt must have
that negligee appearance that conies
from a collar that fits fairly high
cn the neck and has an added full-
ness between where it joins the neck-
band and the buttons themselves.
It thereby is given a jaunty roll be-
tween the fastening points that
makes it truly authentic. This is one
of the masters that should not go
unheeded in this age of particular
dress.
