J Michigan Men Wearing Better Grade Of Shoes No Hot Number As Season Records Bigger Variety Than Ever In Footgear With each passing season it becomes more evident that, a prospective "fa- shion plate" pedals to the heights of sartorial elegance, with his lower ex- tremities (i.e. feet). And the dressing up of feet, of course, brings us to the subject of shoes. In general, although the prices this year are approximately the same as last, there has been a decided better- ment in the quality of the merchan- dise. There also is a general tendency, to avoid the so-called "bargains." Men are coming to learn that a "good shoe" is a good investment. The average college man, however, still does not know one leather from another (with the possible exception of buck). Pop- ular approval, the salesman's word, and the general appearance of the shoe are still the determining factors in the final selection. Wide Style Range{ .This season has seen awider range of styles than ever before. There is no one "hot number," without which the college man just doesn't count. Individuality in taste has much room for expression in shoes, providing, of course, that taste remains within the bounds of the occasion. The trend in shoes this season is away from the conventional "dressy shoe" in favor of the rugged, "sporty" type. The English motif is quite apparent with their brogues enjoying a great measure of popularity. The full, broad toe has replaced the nar- row spade edge, and brass eyelets are once more coming to the fore. Heavy perforations are also gaining popular approval. Norwegian Barge Popular The most popular shoe on campus this season has been the Norwegian Barge model. A heavy, dark moc- casin effect in oil tanned leather, copied from the northern ski-boot, this shoe has proved the ideal outdoor, all-rouhd model. Carried over from the last few sea- sons and still riding high in popularity is the dark,wine-colored cordovan. In either wing-tip or plain toe, this shoe has proven one of the most practical campus shoes, being equally suited to either dres or sport wear. The black sole and heel in this model is espec- ially effective. The natural leather, "luggage tan" shoe, which has gained so much pop- ularity on the Eastern and Western Coasts, is conspicuous by its absence in the Mid-West. The Scotch grain is still a good number, although its price has been a little too steep for the average wardrobe. Sweaters And Pajamas Styles Are Different For Different Locations In Your Rooming House At bedtime style defers to expedi- ency with the Michigan man. The prudently clothed tenants of Ann Ar- bor's best rooming houses begin with the pajamas shown at the lower left. The broad British stripes or the solid color with piping are equally accept- able. For second floor inhabitants there need, except in extreme cases, be only one more layer. Perhaps a knitted cardigan as shown here. This may be used in place of a pullover or waist- coat and comes in both sleeveless and sleeve models. Our smart check pat- tern can "double in brass" as it is also useful for daytime wear with country suits. Equally popular for the nocturnal role is the light-weight Shetland pullover in blue with a deeper blue border. For the third-floor man this smart windbreaker of suede or smooth fin- ished leather is indispensable. It may have either a zipper or button front. Our illustration has a combination of both and is called the "middle-of-the- roader." jn :;y h "" '/. 7Z 9(1/ /1 /. o^7 X TIE-MURRLER DUO Ties and socks have long been pre- sented in combination but this it is mufflers and ties that are being matched. The two are of real Scotch wool and in various gay plaids. FINE GIFTS FOR MEN from the GIFT SHOP FOR MEN A FINE Miltons Suit or Overcoat $1 800 /.$400 MACKINAWS by Shan- house.

The model shown here is one of the latest and most widely successful chapeaux of its type. IIIi I1 Greeks Had It Style Universal, History Reveals Olden Time Dandies Vied To Outdo Each Other In SplendorOf Dress Sardanapalus, of Greek legend, was a ruler of Nineveh, whose decadent4 reign came to a tragic close. Sur- rounded by enemies, he collected his wives and treasurers around him and, setting fire to his palace, perished in the vast conflagration. The historic Assurbini-pal (to give him his real name) was a great As- syrian king of the 7th century B.C. At the time the pomp and circum- stance of the Pagan eastern world rwas at the glittering peak of its mag- nificence. The rulers of Ninevah, Tyre, Babylonia and Egypt adornedI their raiment with jewels of great! value, and seldom went forth without a vast retinue of handsomely arrayed retainers. noticeably in the ensemble effect.

A perfect answer to the difficult question of what to give a man. r ~ ' 'V 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 history 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. provise 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-E 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. 1 , DRESS SHIRTS--Plains, Stripes, Plaids. $1.65 NECKWEAR - Maga- dors, Silks, Reps, Stripes, All-over designs, Pin Dots. 55c * SPATS-Variety of col- ors.
