Instead of a waistcoat, a cum- mberbund is often worn to add+ smartness to a single-breasted tux- edo. Wear a color to match the tie, although fancy cummerbunds are also proper., The semi-formal shirt has a soft ,.pleated bosom, with an at- tached collar for greater comfort. With it wear a black or midnight blue bow necktie in the longer, narrower shape. Hats of Homburg Accessories call for black ribbed pr plain hose, black patent or calf oxford shoes and white or gray mocha gloves. The hat is black, dark gray or midnight blue, in' homburg or snap brim style.

The jacket choice is a tail coat of midnight blue or black, while. the waistcoat is of white pique and can be either single or double- breasted. Trousers match the jacket, with' braid to match jacket lapels.' Showing beneath are black-ribbed or plain hose and shoes of black patent leather or pump style. Pique for Tie, Shirt Wear a white pique bow tie on a pique-bosomed shirt. Wing col- lar and French cuffs are "musts" on the formal shirt. Black is the color choice in hats, whtile gloves favor white. The hat is of silk, and gloves of white kidj or mocha. Accessories include white muf- fler, boutonniere and white hand- kerchief.

At the time of his marriage the groom should also be aware of his personal wardrobe -- which from then on will be constantly under the scrutinty of his new wife. Time for Repairs Well before the ceremony he should check it over for repairs and additions. Suits for winter and summer may need cleaning or seams sewed up. (Immediately' after the wedding is not a good time to put your new bride to work on fixing up your clothes!) Depending on the location of the new home, the groom may want to add some new sports shirts and sweaters to his wardrobe. Whatever the style of the wed- ding, the groom can retain his "Prince Charming" appearance until his golden anniversary if he is always mindful of his wardrobe. Men have a wide choice of fashionable jewelry accessories for cuff, tie and neckwear. The perennially favorite novel- ty tie-clasps and cuff-links are sharing the -spotlight this year with plainer styles made narrow- er and smaller to match current fashion's narrower ties. Cuff-links seem to be becoming more and more restricted to for- mal dress as the French-cuffed shirt goes out of style for sports wear. Collar-buttons, collar-stays and tie studs are holding their own. The tie stays' popularity lies in the fact that it keeps the tie from slipping up out of place. With an ordinary clasp, the tie pulls up when the head is thrown back. The stay eliminates this incon- venience. Clasps and links in simple geo- metrical forms are much in evi- dence this spring. Frequently seen are rectangles and squares set with pearls, other gems or ini- tials. Many are styled in a con- trast of plain and polished metal. Still popular are the varied nov- elty styles with personal inter- est appeal. Cuff-links and tie clasps come in the shape'of a mariner's compass or sailboat for the sea-minded, various models of cars for the automobile-minded and music symbols and instru- ments for the music-minded. Hobbies are also given a place as clasps and links sproutstamps, coins, or sports equipment. Appearing occasionally are cuff- links with a matching ring as well as matching tie clasps. Settings include leather and wool as well as the traditional gold silver and = gems.
