Show MEN'S CLOTHES NOT OATEB. "Conquered by Color," "Man as a Rainbow," Rain-bow," Brightest of Hoes." Let it be said at once that the foregoing atartling sentences do not refer to any scientific discovery. They are merely samples .of headlinea given by contemporaries to reports that there ia to be a great revolution in the color of men'a dress. They opened up so gTeat a vista of possible possi-ble change that the "Tailor and Cutter'1 dispatched dis-patched a man to the principal West End shops, and there the simple truth wss learned that there are no "masculine rainbows." "Blacks and grays, browns and subdued greens were the lesding colors." Even in attire for holiday purposes the tendency ten-dency has been to somber hues. "The extravagantly ex-travagantly striped blaser of a decade ago," says the expert indicsted above, "has gone, and in its place plain flannel jacket ia worn." The conclusion is that "men'a garments gar-ments are more ornate than they have been for aeme years, but they are not vulgarly so." "Not vulgarly so" Is good. London News. |
