T en Essentials for the Men Who Wish to Get the Most From Their Clothes don style exper Fairchild Public ed a talk over â€" how they shoul pearance counts ness and socia meaning in the is international authority. In t John L. Murdocke, well known Lonâ€" don stvle expert for "Men‘s Wear," a Fairchild Publication, recently deliverâ€" ed a talk over the air on clothes and how they should be worn. Since apâ€" pearance counts for so much in busiâ€" ness and social life, there is vital meaning in the opinions of a man whio is internationally famous as a style authority. In this broadcast, Mr. Murâ€" docke enumerated the ten dress comâ€" mandents and with due credit, both to ‘Men‘s Wear" and to Mr. Murdocke, they are presented herewith: (1) Avoid Extremes Don‘t ever appear overdressed. Avoid gaudinessâ€"avoid looking fancy; your entrance into a room should not ibe Don‘t ever appear Overuaresscu, Ayuiu gaudinessâ€"avoid looking fancy; your entrance into a room should not be startling. Your aim should be to create a general impression of being well and coarrectly dressed so that yqur friends remember your general good appearance but no detail or part of your appearance in particular. (2) Smart Linen Keep shirts, collars, ties, shoes and handkerchiefs in immaculate order. When first impressions are so importâ€" ant, don‘t overlook the vital part these accessories play in making even an old suit or ensemble appear newer and fresher. ‘"‘Men‘s Wear" and they are presented (1) Avoid P.‘ooow o o T T P T T T T L '”O'O"‘OO ’OOO"O“"“ (3) Brush Your Clothes Make a habit of brushing your clothes frequently, even when they are old. It is amazing how much this do in keeping suits, topcoats and overâ€" coats, clean and new looking. It also saves too frequent cleaning. Your clothes need not be pressed too often but they should be spotlessâ€"always And don‘t forget hats and shoes. (4) Clothes Must Be Rested Clothes, just like human beings, lose and vitalityâ€"look faded, if they are not given the chance of a rest. You‘ll find it a good plan to alternate the wearing of your suits. Clothes last longer if you follow this plan of alterâ€" nate rest and wear. (5) Fifty per cent of Your Appearance Avoid Extremes. Brush Your Clothes Often. Give Your Suit Its Proper Rest. Be Particular About Materials and Details. Dress for the Occasion. Is Your Clothes® It is woell to remember, that everyâ€" where, all the time, clothes account fot at least 50% of your appearance. By at least half, you are judged by the way you look, and don‘t let anyone fool youâ€"it‘s a fact. This first impresâ€" sion not only counts but lasts. Think of the number of people you. meet casually, in the theatre, in your busiâ€" ness, at parties, the people yow nod ‘to â€"the people yvou are jJust introduced to for a moment. Isn‘t it obvious that the only possible way they can assess you is by the way you look to them? Dress so that everywhere, all the time, you create the impression you want to create. (6) Freedom of Movement Never be conscious of your clothes. Mould them to your activities, so that they don‘t obtrude, but dissolve into your whole appearance. Don‘t wear clothes as if you were a sandâ€" wichman and they a signboard. Nor as if your suit was your skin and comâ€" pletely unremovable when you retire. Select clothes that do not oppress you, that give you a trim appearance, yet real freedom of movement. (7) Be Particular About Details It pays to be particualr about a few incidental appearance factors; for exâ€" ample, keep your hair wellâ€"groomed and alwavys appear cleanâ€"shaven â€" it pays! <It also goes without saying, that hands should be kept clean, not necesâ€" sarily manicured. In other words, live up to your clothes. * One of the most i remember is to clu patterns that suit 1 add to yvour appear: ing how often this s factor is overlookec you are stout, wear and keep away fron loud patterns. In thin man can add t by choosing lighter patterns. (10) Dress Properly For the Oc« Second Section sult v ippeara this si rlooked TY 18 kills home ‘ part takes which Always dress properly for the occasâ€" ion. Give some consideration to your host or hostess when you are being enâ€" tertained. Very often a change of colâ€" lar and tie will make a world of difâ€" ference. In gcod appearance, as 1In everything else, it‘s the little things that count. A Word on Formal Evening Wear Tails and white tie are, of course, correct for all rigidly formal evening parties and dances and in nothing a man wears is good cut and good tailorâ€" ing so important. A dress coat, close fitting at the waist, and tails of correct length, are details by which critical eyves judge you. Nothing looks worse than "dated formals." For informal dinners and dances the single or doubleâ€"breasted Dinner Jacket worn with black tie, is quite in order. Daytime Formal Wear While the cutâ€"away frock coat is the ~orrect wear for daytime weddings and formal occasions, a very acceptable sompromise is found in the director suit of black or Oxford Grey, sack coat and striped trousers. Gunner Harting of Dutch Infantry Visits Family Here Veteran of Last War on Duty in Present Struggle. Many old friends are giving a great welcome to Frank Harting, whom many have seen in town in the past few days in the uniform of the Dutch Infantry.

VERY THURSDAY (By Carolyn Damon) There‘s a new couturier in Canada this springâ€"one who has the last word to savy in everything you wear. That couturier is WAR, and you can tell all his fashions by four distinective features: 1. They‘re simplified, 2. They‘re standardized, 3. They‘re rationalized, 4. They‘re economical. Maybe that sounds grim to vou, but strangely enough, it isn‘t in the least. For certain things remain, to be highâ€" lighted by every smart woman who would look her best this year. . Good tailoring. Good fit. iColor, color,color. Gay accessories. Classical smartness or feminine softness. Let‘s see how these work with the four dictates above. 1, Simplification. . That means cutâ€" ting down on so many styles, and patterns, and colors, and gadgets and falderals. And because manufacturers want you to like the things they make, it also means taking out the inferior things and leaving the best. So, if colors are cut from literally hundreds of offâ€"shades and tones to perhaps fifteen or twenty good, basic primaries and their combinations, you‘ll find that those colors are clear, becoming, and have been tested for their qualities against sun and water. Same with buttons and patterns and weaves in fabrics. There‘ll be far less chance of gsetting unbecoming things because the freak stuff, which only a few could wear and many tried, will be gone anyway. 2. Standardization. ‘That â€"means, again, less to choose from, more simple basic lines and colors. Canadian women have always looked best in wellâ€"tailored suits, softly feminine but classical lines in dresses, wellâ€"cut, smart coats and good simple shoes. Now, again, makers of these things are concentrating on the best they can make, and leaving out of the cheaper, more inferior stuff. We can‘t spare workmen to do fancy things with clothes and shoes, we muÂ¥% cut down in stocking colors and weaves to save dves and machines, we make fewer kinds of buttons and gadgets and frills. 3, Rationalization. That is,. WE change from fabrics that are hard to zset, or that the armed forces need, to ones we can have. Like wearing fewer woollens, more rayons. No silk. We cut out, or find substitutes for, the metals and rubber we have used in fastenings and girdles and so on. We learn to use what we have to the best advantage. 4. Eceonomy. â€" Need we explain it? More money for the war, less ifor clothes. Therefore, more ingenuity, more care, more thought in buying and using what we buy. Economy, too, in cutting and styling our garments. So, we have wellâ€"tailored suits and dresses as tops for daytime wear. Skirts are short enough for walking comfort, wide enough for a good step. Waistlines are normal or at their most becoming place for you. We wear slacks and sveralls and culottes for lounging and working at home and in factories, for ease and comfort, and to save our other clothes. We wear plain but wellâ€"cut shoes with lowered heels for walking and longer wear. We choose our dinâ€" ner dresses on classical lines ‘but as softly feminine as possible, as a relief from the regimentation of daytime. (And it‘s worth getting into a long dress at night, when you can.) Finally, we do. splurge on color, hats and gloves, because that doesn‘t hurt anyone: and it‘s good for us.
