Wrinkle-Resistance Makes Rayon Suits A Popular Buy
The American man has found that rayon has just enough weight and wrinkle-resistance to keep him trim, well-groomed and yet comfortable in warmer weather.
A wide choice of fabrics dyed with wonderfully clear colors, makes them a solid foundation for any business man's spring wardrobe. Rayon takes dye especially well and fabrics are being made in all popular designs, glen plaids, hound's tooth checks, stripes, sharkskins and of course, the classic coverts and gabardines.
has found that spring weight is the happy medium between too-warm heavier fabrics and the very light fabrics which tend to become wrinkled and bunchy.
The fact that rayon suits are economical explains part of their fast-growing popularity. Because rays are prized lower than suits in other fibers, men feel they can afford more suits.
Wives like rayon suits because they are simple to care for. According to one of the leading producers
Trumpet Shape Is Basic Spring Line
The trumpet silhouette is your basie dress for spring. This is the shape that starts as a sheath, and ends with a feminine flare at the hemline.
The trumpet hemline may be created by an accordion pleated flounce, small single back or front pleats, or by one or two tiers of matching fabric. A tie-on overskirt easily converts your straight sheath basic into a trumpet silhouette.
More becoming to many figures than the tapered sheath, the trumpet dress can be just as easily accessorized. Depending, of course, on the fabric and color you choose, it can be dressed up with jewelry, a
scene, or a stole for evenings out;

Seven Tons Of Loot
Chicago (U.R.)—A band of thieves hauled away what may turn out to be the heaviest loot of the year. They broke into a warehouse and stole seven tons of assorted iron bridge and elevator weights.
of rayon yarn, a rayon suit should get the same kind of care as a wool suit.
Many men find that because of rayon's smoother surface the suits do not soil as quickly and so need not be cleaned as often as rougher materials. And wives say that a rayon suit is easy to "touch up" with a home pressing.
New Sportwear Has Cooler Feel
It looks like a great season ahead for sportswear. Every kind of leisure-time clothing for men is branching out in new variety and with new comfort features.
Increased porosity and lightweight construction are keynotes of 1951 sportswear designs. And the spring and summer innovations that will interest every man include sheer sport shirt, odd jackets with leatherweight construction, new tailoring ideas in shorts, more comfortable waistband treatment in slacks and color variety in all types of sportswear.
The spring season jackets are designed in lightweight wool and worsted fabrics that have little shoulder padding and more natural body lines.
Another contribution furnishes new color interest, the tartan flannel blazer in authentic Scottish clan patterns. These give a welcome lift to the solid tone slacks or shorts which men are favoring.
The emphasis on slack design is definitely on comfort, with such things as shirred-elastic waistbands and other treatments that require no belt.
Style scouts say that men are finally ready to be comfortable in the gentler seasons by wearing walking or play shorts for golf, tennis, mowing the lawn or just leafing.
The new shorts come in a big selection of plain color fabrics, fine woolen or worsted flannels and gabardines that look like a million with the gay-colored, all-over pattern sport shirts that are slated as style leaders for spring.
Sport shirts for the coming season have shorter collars that will be welcomed by many men who shunned the former long-collar vogue. Great popularity is also expected for the new variety of woven pullover shirts which have gained acceptance steadily over the past two seasons. Pattern choices for spring range from soft, clear pastels to small stripes and checks.
