is to steer clear of any such fantastic
creations. They are, of course, the
logical outgrowth of the red cumer-
bunds that made their debut last
year. Natural, biege, standstone, or
whatever the name you choose to
designate the new undyed linen jack-
ets, is due for a strong bid for su-
premacy. They are a change from
the dead white and have the added
advantage of staying neat and clean
looking for a longer period.
Cumerbunds are superfluous with
the double breasted coats, which is
another argument in favor of this
style. However, they are indispens-
ible for the single breasted jacket,
and give a natty appearance that
isn't obtainable with the regulation
vest. Red will still be with us this
season, but black is the acceptable
style at anytime anywhere.
Jackets Are Warn
The summer jackets are worn with
f egulation formal trousers of the
same light weight material. The va-]
riety of tropical spuns, linens, gabar-
dines and/flannels gives a real variety
from which to choose. A white gabar-
dine suit is offered as a practical
suggestion to those who must stretch
their spring and summer wardrobe to
the utmost. The white double
breasted coat can be worn with
tuxedo trousers for the formal oc-
casions, and with its matching trous-
ers for semi or formal affairs. Worn
either way, the gabardine retains its
shape well and can be worn until
.soiled without that dishevelled look
ter,' the Alpha Phi's definitely op-
posed to gaudy hose, the Delta Gam-,
ma's and Theta's neutral on the ques-
that is characteristic of so many sum-
mer outfits.
While the white jacket and black
trouser combination is perhaps the
favorite of all, there is the midnight
blue, summer weight tuxedo for him
who wishes to assert his individuality.
They also have the shawl collar, and
are worn with the comfortable acces-
sories designed for the regulation
summer formal.-
Shirts to be worn with the evening
formal show that comfort is now the
criterion which guides the styles. The
typical shirt will be made of white
silk with a soft silk collar and regu-
lation buttons. Another style that,
fits in well is a two stud affair that
features a soft pleated bosom. A semi-
starched, turned down collar is the
requisite with this.
The old fashioned becomes the new
fashion in formal ties for the sea-
son. The club style with its blunt,
wide wings is again with us and is
ideal for wear with the turndown col-
lar. The long narrow black tie that
was accepted last winter will continue
its reign far into the summer months.
The final touches to the summer
formal are the inclusion of a red silk
foulard in the coat pocket and wine-
colored silk socks. This breaking
away from the dead fomality has
found favor in Cannes and on the
Riviera during the present season,
and are expected to establish them-
selves here.

Sorority opinion on hats was rath-
er astonishing on the whole with ap-
parently little difference being made
whether the male goes bare naked I
above the neck, although the majority
opinion was to the point that bald
heads received mighty few caresses.
Snap brims, which incidentally are
tops this season, were approved, but
a taboo was imposed on pork pies
and those 'buster brown' tweed cha-
peaux.
Like Spread Collars
High water pants were given a ter-
rible shellacking by everybody, and
termed everything from childish to
awful.
Spread collars won approval, and
outton downs were stamped with the
sorority seal, but violent colors in
both shirts and sports coats, particu-
larly checks, were squelched. The
term 'nauseating' was generally ap-
plied to all green suits.
Thick shoes are aces with the fair
youngsters and they particularly yen
for those soft, squishy ones-all white
preferably, and furthermore they
want them kept clean.
English shoes and buckle overs are
passable but whites with laces are
much cuter.'j

SPORTS USURPING FORMALS
With more and more leisure time
ahead, men will find social activities
claiming more of their time. For
this reason the old division between
Radical in the way of jewelry this
spring and summer will be watches.
Wrist and ordinary pocket watches
will pass out in favor of the new
breast pocket watches, small and at-
tached by chain to the lapel. Most of
them will be in transparent cases of
zircon colors, mostly light, although
some are in imitation ivory and cata-
line.
"Swank" cuff-links, designed for
easy adjustment, will be popular. In
one piece, they consist of larger ends
capable of snapping perpendicular or
parallel to the connecting pieces
which have jeweled tips.
Rings will continue their trend of
light, transparent stones - with no
fraternity crest. New designs, but of
no definite character, will be intro-
duced in cigarette lighters and cases.
Collars and tie clasps will remain,
generally the same, but for the in-
troduction of a sliding tie clasp, al-
lowing the tie to swing back and
forth moderately.
Dogs and horses, in fact any ani-
mal that isn't too blood-curdling, will
be the thing in pin designs, to be
worn especially on ascot scarfs, which
themselves will be highly popular
during the summer.
Polo shirts, of course, will be worn
widely again, but they will have wider
horizontal stripes in gaudy colors.
Slip-overs will be better liked prob-
ably, but it is possible those which
are buttoned, popular on the Rivera
last summer, will invade us this year.
Pajamas of great popularity will
consist of an upper similar to a polo
shirt, and pleated pants.
Swimming trunks will pick up
pleats but will be substantially the
same as last year.
Bright colors, in horizontal stripes
or plaids, will be the thing in socks
this year, and ties will be designed
uniquely, in the form of animals, or
perhaps snowflakes-just so the de-
Snap brim hats with wider and
snappier brims will strike the pre-
dominant note among men's headgear
this spring. According to campus
style centers as well as various lead-
ing fashion magazines, snap brims
with bound edge will be worn more
than any other style of hat this spring
by college men, who have come to be
recognized as fastidious dressers.
The chief feature which will dis-
tinguish this year's hats from prev-
ious models will be the width of the
brim. All the hats with the snap brim
will be a bit wider, and one company
is putting out a model that has a'
trifle wider brim in the back than in
the front and sides.-
The bindings are wider this season,
too, and all hats except the light-
weight crushers for sports wear are
bound. All this tends to give the
brim a better flair when wornG
snapped. It comes in various colors,
with seal brown, monel gray, and
lovatt green being the most popular.
The seal, a dark brown, will be most
popular in the early spring, but a
turn toward the greens and grays
will be experienced when the warmer
weather arrives. The tyrolean of
last season has had a slight effect

' Another hat which is well suited
I for sports and country wear is the
pork pie, which did not get as popular
as expected last year. It comes in a
medium blue, various shades of brown
and freen. Some manufacturers
have put forth a model which can be
worn either as a tyrolean or a pork
pie with equal ease. This is a good
buy, especially if your finances hap-
pen to be at the same low level as
those of your correspondent.
