Each year evening clothes for the!
well-dressed man show slight modifi-
cations in cut and tailoring, and for-
mal attire for this season is no excep-
tion. The Michigan man who wants"
to be considered correct in his choice
of "after six" clothes for fraternity:
parties and the J-Hop will find that
the high waistlined tailcoats have be-
come outmoded and have been re-:
placed by those with a lower waist-!
line which come to the level of the!
hips.
The lapels form a long soft roll
made of light or heavy-ribbed gros-
grain silk or Barathea cloth, leaving
a space of about two and one-half!
inches at the bottom of the roll be-
tween the lapels. The tails this year
are slightly longer, coming one inch
below the knee. White vests for for-
mal evening wear show a revolution-
ary change in the length of their
points which are much longer than
those of previous seasons, but straight
lined vests are also sho17n by the "
better men's shops. The lodger point-:
ed vests can only be worn with the
lower waistlined tailcoats otherwise
they would come below the front of
the coat.
Midnight blue still remains the fa-
vorite cloth of the fashionable inan
and comes in the cheaper unfin-
ished worsteds, in the more expensive!
Italian worsteds and in a variety of!
other quality cloths. Braid on the:
pants of the tailcoats . is of corded:
silk with a raised ridge in the center.!
Cloth on the buttons on the tail-
coat should either match the cloth
on the lapels or should be covered!
with a checked silk fabric. A new in-
novation on the sleeves is a distinct
cuff edged with a line of ribbed silk.
White ties are of the butterfly-type'

Down South, neckties are used
mainly as the twilight twine for hemp
holidays. Stringing along With sha-

the wollies for Dixie swing sessions.
Irish poplins and magadores are
also in the limelight. In Ireland the
necktie gives way to shillelagh sling-
ing fests, but there the sides are more
evenly matched than is the case below
the Mason-Dixon Line.
The foulard in polka dots and small
figures is still popular for semi-formal
wear in Washington, sources close to
the White House report. Except in
the Senate, a completely unofficial
spokesman said, where "everybody is
against the Dixie neckties, but nobody
is willing to do anything about them."

emplifying this is one single-breasted
model with wide peak lapels and
lower vent. It has three buttons with
a center-vent in back.
Carlton Model Popular
Another very masculine coat for
formal wear is the double-breasted
Carlton. Featuring the new drape
style, it too has wide peak lapels.
Lower flap pockets and a center-vent
in back add to its smartness. The
waist-line is fitted.
One dress overcoat that is very pop-
ular possesses the fly front style with
lower flap pockets and gracefully wide
semi-peak lapels. Strictly fitted, it
also has the velvet collar.-
In the sport topcoats, the Bal-
Raglan, available in either the usual
or reversible models, holds its place
in the fashion sun. Slash pockets
and split sleeves with cuffs are partly!
responsible for its continued popu-
larity.
. Barclay Tailor's Joy
The Barclay model is another style-
setter which continues to bring joy
to the tailor's heart. Double-breasted;
it has slash pockets, a half belt and
an inverted pleat back. Three buttons,
of course, with two to button. The
fashion authorities claim it's smartest
in fleeces.
