Plain hearsay. “In spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” Bah! It furns alright. But mostly to thoughts of horse-racing, golf and the like. If a man makes a great to-do about Easter and Mother's Day, you can bet your bottom dollar that he has a reason. Throughout the summer milady’s hours will be punctuated with tear-jerking phone calls. They're pretty stereotyped. When a weak little voice pleads “Dear, some of the boys and I. . .", she might just as well forget about peeling that extra potato. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, we always says. ls time for an about-face. What's wrong with the little ladies showering the spring sentimentalism and then leaving their philanderers kerplunk in the middle of the hot-weather housework. See how they like it! e “BACHELOR SHIRT ‘ Here are a few man-made suggestions to soften the blow. Let him stick to the illusion that the summer will be just one golf game after another. Nip uptown and get one of those maroon sport shirts with the double front and criss-cross neck. diagonal full-front zipper. For men not interested in needlework, thing — buttons. Instead there is a mother-of-pearl gripper at the neck and cuffs and a zipper all the way up the front, A fused yoke keeps the shirt stiff and neat and looking —-as if it. still had a laundry ticket attached. Nylon socks — already a hit because of their iron-like wear and easy-to-wash, easy-to-dry material — get an extra mark for coolness come the sunshiny weather. One store reports that it will soon haye everything in nylon from sports shirts and pullover sweaters to underwear shorts and pyjamas. - Gabardine slacks are now featuring a saddle stitch down the seam. We saw some lovely top coats of the same material — with double cuffs, no less — and in every color imaginable. They're Eng- lish all-wools, too. For little boys, there’s nothing smarter than navy blue blazers. The ones we saw are double-breasted, flannel and have bright brass buttons. SUITS US Suits—suits—suits—we've never seen so many. Why is it that’s the first thing a girl thinks of when there's a mention of Easter eggs? We will not argue with convention. And neither are dress store owners whose shops are stacked to the garret with these signs of spring. Here in Oakville are ge-or-geous celanese-gabardine 20% wools in window-pane, pick and pick and herringbone checks. In plain gabardine, there are so many colors—wwell the typewriter just couldn't stand up under the strain. Ever wanted a dress like the starry sky? Even if you haven't, this “Stardust” gown will soon change vour mind. Around the neck of the navy dress are beaded shooting stars. The coat has the same design on the top and bottom of each side. When you button it up, the pattern blends. Another English woo! crepe in midnight blue hes beaded work on the false pockets and on the collar of the coat and dress, —_ Who ever heard of Easter without hats? They're about as synonymous as caviar and chandeliers or peas and carrots. Small and special, we like ‘em. Here are two. One is a tiny plaid bonnet made of crisp taffeta. There are all kinds and colors of tartans ant each bonnet comes with a purse to match. The other is made of petersham — almost corded silk, It’s small and navy and has white buttons around the brim’ ALL THINGS NICE Believe it or not, English kid purses come equipped with in- structions for washing.
