Men's Wear for Spring
By Arthur H. Romp.
Tango 1h a word which nobody who
Is able to road can avoid encountering
hero for an average of ten tlmeB n day.
Therefore you will not bo Burprlsed
that Tango tailoring haa arrived. It
is even mnking a weird protonuo to
Justify Itirclf. One of tho Sunday pa
pers publiBhed a paragraph to tho ef
fect that tho evening suit worn when
performing this dance must bo spe
cially cut for the occasion, bo that
lhcontrnnTBwnJ-not-fly-up-and-got.
into tho eyoB of tho beholders. Tango
trousers, designed to resist tho strain
imposed by athletic dancing, aro also
mentioned. Then wo have Tango color
in neckwoar.
"Tio" in this country m'eans any
kind of cravat, not morely a bow;
even an Ascot Ib a "tie" to Americans.
Judging by tho display mentioned, I
triithor that Tango colbT IB aflreOT
ango red, described by ono critic as
"looking llko tho Bun seen through a
London fog." This 1b a well-known and
pretty dellnlto color, rather duller than
a western sunBet. With tho present
run on color for cravats, it may, I daro
say, bo qulto wearable. Then wo havo
Tango shirts which, of all imagin
able horrors, aro cvonlng shirts with
a soft Bilk front, and they aro alao
making Tango collarB of silk with stif
fened in them. I fancy those things
aro window-dressing devices moro
than anything elBo, and aa for tho
Tango tailoring, I frankly dlsbellovo in
it.
.Most prominent of tho now features
in men'B spring Bults 1b the idea of
wearing the plain sack coat, and neat
oxford striped trousers. ThlB really,
a-TOodiilcatlon from tho origInal,jwhfcb.
rrniiPti fnr Mm return of tho frock coat.
THE BALMACCAN OVERCOAT.
Qoobo shooting on tho moors of Scot
land gavo rlso to this roomy, dressy
looking utility coat. It is perhaps one
of tho moBt practical coats brought for
ward for many years; it is very prac
tical for automobllo riding; Its full
swoop and raglan shoulders giving tho
desired freedom.
THE HAT SITUATION
Tho BuppoBcd niBh to brilllan color
atloiLliL nwlo costumo aU round is a
thing to which I have rofored to here
before. It is a fashion that has
bloomed a good deal more In the news
papers than anywhero clao; and cer
tainly it does not ngreo with tho evi
dent revival of a tasto for formal dress
In certain other directions.
That hardy production, tho Bilk hat,
has been threatened with total extinc
tion year after year about as long aB
I can remember; but tho trade Bays
that moro silk hatB are being made
this season than have been made for
a long time. Tho fashion for soft felt
hats, and oven for velour hats, looks
llko having JuBt about worn Itself out.
DerbleB, which wo call bowlers, aro de
cidedly being worn moro every day,
but tho notlceablo fcaturo of tho sea
son is tho triumph of tho silk hat. It
has practically put tho folding opera
hat out of use for evening and theater
wear. A resolute effort is being made,
aB you havo seen, to mako It compati
ble with a Jacket which may bo said
to havo been designed for tho oxpreBB
purpoBo of looking reasonably well
with a tall hat. Tt is salo that a
.slight rap has been given to Bomo mili
tary ofllcers from Buckingham Palace,
Intimating that when in mufti in tho
neighborhood of tho Court( a low hat
,1s not exactly according to rule .
Tho derby hat of thlB seaBon has
been rather well described as a more
important looking hat than It used to
be. The small crowned, fiat brimmed
style, which had such a run a couple
of years ago, was really responsible
tor the way in WhlClrtlTe-BOftrfeltrhat
put the bowler out of the runlng. Now
the bowler has reasserted itself. It
has a tallish, generously rounded
crown and a woyy-curled brim llko the
brim of a Bilk hat. On the other hand,
Bilk hatB havo come down a little in
height, and the crown 1b a little more
bell-Bhaped than before. Also the
brim is more curved than tho brim of
last year's silk hats.
It is interesting to note that the silk
hat, which waB first introduced by a
London tradesman in 1797, met with
a tremendous opposition when It first
appeared. The first man to wear It
was John Hetherlngton, a Strand dra
per, and when ho Bhowed himself in
.tho street with it his appearance col
lected such a crowd that ho was ar
rested and made to give bonds to bo
of good behavior in future.
When Love Is King
When April winch are blowing
And May Isjusl beyond.
When all the hills are glowing
And Spring's rich robes are donned.
Why should one heart beat sadly.
One soul be In dismay?
The storms that raged so madly
Have worn themselves away.
Why should doubt come to chill us
When bells of Easter ring
With gladness that should Jill us
When Love Is crowned as king ?
The rain upon the shingles
Makes music that Is sweet
And on the windows jingles
A tune for dancing feet.
3 E. KISER
Tho innovation has moro importanco
than it really looks to have. It will
bring back tho revival of tho onco
popular frock coat, which has been ob
BOleto for a long tlmo. I do not think
that tho frock coat, however, will bo(
gonerally adopted by Western men.
Tho sack coat with striped trousers,
however, finds favor. Tho ao-called
Tango model In sack suits Ib mooting
with bucccbs. Tho coat is being a
moro skeleton, with padding, quarter
silk lined over tho shoulders. Tho
coat front of this model Is decorated
with largo patch pockets with narrow
ribbon straps across tho shoulders.
The Tango model will be worn exten
sively by men who llko tho extreme.
"EngiiBh models, nowover, "proval rf or
young men. The real stop toward
comfort is an evolution upon tho old
stylo voBt. Real largo arm holes to
give easo of movements of tho arms
and preclude perspiration, This new
style does not mar tho front appoar
anco of tho garment. It Is called the
Olympic veBt brought out and de
signed by Society Brand Clothes
Makers of Chicago. Another stylo
featuro that is gaining dally and Ib
suro to-be popular is the silk binding
on coats. Tho refined dressed men
Tvill bo seen wearing tho two and
hreo button sack coats with soft rol
led front, natural shoulders, straight
narrow trouBers, five-button vest, with
long pointed peaks. They Bhould bo
worn with tho lower button oot fas
tened. Whito washable voBts aro very
good.
