TW7E MJiCH~jG D_ iLY Semi-Sports Hat To Dominate Spring Towii And 'CoIuntry Wear Looking Over .. Them For winter wear dark felt hats and derbies dominate the scene, but with the advent of warmer weather these are replaced by hats of a less formal shape, and in lighter colors. The semi-sports hat is particularly pop- ular at this time of year because it is adaptable to both town and country, and far greater numbers of people desert the metropolitan centers at every opportunity during the spring days, in order to enjoy the country, which is at its best during this season. The semi-sports hat is the type which may be worn to business in town, and at the same time is not inappropriate when it is transferred1 to a more rural setting., An ideal example of the semi-l sports hat is that shown immediately below. This hat has a lower crown than the' felt hat popular in recent years, and is in the smart snuff shade. The brim is slightly wider than heretofore, and is bound in a light silk of a similar shade to the hat. The band,. however, is much darker. For informal wear in town, this semi-sports hat is perfectly ac- ceptable and it is equally correct in the country. In the lower picture is illustrated the more conventional type of snap brim hat. This hat is a perfect year- round model and is especially favored by younger men. It has a raw edge and a band rather darker than the hat itself.

Sur- rounded by enemies, fIle collected his wives and treasures around him and, setting fire to his palace, perished in the vast conflagration. The historic Assurbini-pal (to give 1him his real name was a great Assy- rian king of the 7th century B.C. At the time the pomp and circumstance of the Pagan eastern world was at the glittering peak of its magnificence. The rulers of Ninevah, Tyre, Baby- lonia and Egypt adorned their rai- ment with jewels of great value, and seldom went forth without a vast ret- inue of handsomely arrayed retainers. Many Feasts Held Their banquets and feasts were of untold number and indescribable lux- ury. Among all these brilliant figures none was a greater lover of adorn- ment than Assurbini-pal. He also had a catholic regard for histoir and diligently collected tablets recording the happenings in his kingdom. To- day this library of information which he assembled is one of our chief sources of knowledge of those times. Another dandy to reign many cen- turies later was Richard II of Eng- land, about whom Shakespeare wrote his magnificent play. Richard has been described as the greatest fop who ever occupied an English throne. not barring that celebrated beau, George IV. King Richard was tall' and handsome, but very effeminate., and he quite failed to fulfill the promise shown, when, as a boy, hE faced Wat Tyler and his rebels. Had $100,000 Coat The young King spent huge sums' on clothing, and one of his coats, em- broidered with gold and precious stones, was valued at 20,000 pounds. At today's value this is roughly $100,- 000, but the sum in those days rep- resented an equivalent of five or six times that amount. The sleeves of his coats were so long and exaggerated that they often trailed on the ground, and the long pointed toes of his velvet shoes were so elongated that they were fastened to his knees with golden chains. Fate Intervenes This outre-fashion for which he was largely responsible was an inno- vation much favored by the courtiers of France and England as well as elsewhere on the continent. It was to him that Chaucer referred when he wrote against "the superfluittee of clothing trailing in the mire and the waste of cloth in vanitee." The extravagances of his reign met their just deserts and Richard II lost his throne at the age of thirty-four. Dinner Jacket Formal Wear For Summer Midnighlt Blue Or Black, IotblIe-BIeasted, Single All In Correct Styi: After the middle of May, tail-coats are seldom worn in t his country and formal evening dress usually indi- cates the dinner jacket. Dinner jack- ets may be of either midnight blue or black, and in either the single or double-breasted model. Double- breasted models usually have a four button front, and can be buttoned on either the upper or lower button. Lapels may be either peak or shawl, and of either ribbed-silk or satin. The most conservative model is the peak lapel, single-breasted model with ribbed silk lapels. Single Stripe Correct Trousers should carry a single strip of braid about seven-eighths of an inch in width. Waistcoats bay be of either black ribber, silk or of the same material as the dinner jacket. The latter waistcoat is commonly worn in England, but is rarely seen in this country. A double-breasted white waistcoat is not incorrect with the dinner jacket. With the double- breasted dinner jacket, no waistcoat is necessary (although it is not in- correct) as' it does not show. Shirt bosoms may be of plain linen, wide wale pique or bird's eye pique. They should carry two. studs, of plain gold or black enamel. A turn-over collar and black bat wing tie, or a bold wing collar and black semi- butterfly tie are correct with the dinner jacket. The wing collar is slightly more formal. Pumps Are Proper Black patent leather oxfords or pumps are proper, and black socks of silk or lisle are correct. With the dinner jacket it is permissible to have -Copyright, 1937, Esquire, Inc. Sportsmen who have been forced to content themselves with indoor activities throughout the colder months are once more able to en- joy their favorite pastimes in the great outdoors. Nothing is more ex- citing from either the spectators' or the participants' point of view than a steeplechase race, and a great many of these are held in this country in the spring. In the illustration below is shown a practical and smart outfit for at- tending such an event. The suit is a boldly patterned cheviot material with a colored overstripe, and carries 8-inch side vents and slanted pockets. The shirt is in a quiet plaid, worn with a solid color crocheted silk tie. A pork pie; hat of lightweight felt with a narrow band, and a pair of monk front shoes in a new design complete the ensemble.
