MaleModes By Phil McCarthy
This is really a tough time to write a column that is supposed to adhere pretty well to the trend of men's fashions. It's all due to this spring weather we've been quacking about for so long, too! After all, who cares how anybody dresses for a steak-fry? But the task is here; it must be done; here goes.
We took a trip downtown on our streamlined pogo-stick to look at the shop windows for inspirations about a lead for this column. Sure enough, there were some clothes there that reminded us that we're going to look a little different than we did a year ago. Here are some of them.
Something new and interesting is the "loafer jacket." It's a single breasted jacket of soft celanese and rayon designed for casual wear. There are two big patchpockets and the thing has lots of hand-stitching. Color—tan.
The newest thing in suits seems to be made of a curduroy twill (wool). The predominant color demanded will be a natural tan. The favorite model will be a single-breasted with three buttons, one center vent in back, and all the trimmings of saddle-stitching and a ticket pocket. It's fine for mixing with other slacks and jackets, too.
There's one thing which should command a lot of interest about now . . . it's the matched set of cable-stitch sweater and sox.
They are made of identical pattern and color. Try a set, and don't forget to have your trousers short enough to show off the sox to the desired advantage.
P. S. We're still waiting for those phone calls about how last week's column made you the Flash-of-the-Hill!

The Jay Jane organization is now 18 years old on the campus. It was founded in 1923. It is a member of Phi Sigma Chi, the woman's national pep organization, whose purpose is to promote friendly rivalry among the schools of the Big Six and pep in the student body at home.
