in Mens Suits Will
Narrow Lapels, Little
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Praia Correspondent.
New York -2- 0J.R) This is
Men's Fashion. Week. :
. ' We could make that sentence
longer, except the men behind
this Fashion Week like to be
simple ' and straightforward in
talking about men's clothes.
: r Men are so easily scared away
from the subject anyway, the
experts explain. With a calm ap
proach, ,they hoped to ease men
: into suits with narrow lapels,
very Ititle shoulder padding and
narrow trousers. 3
We'd call that a "long, lean
look, ' in women's' fashions.' De
signers: of men's clothes would
be happy if men would " just
calt them new suits. " r; " ,:r;
"The average adult male in
this country buys only five
eighths of a suit each year," said
Louise ScaliseK t general chair
man of the convention of cloth
ing designers held here .this
week. "It isn't that he doesn't
have the - money. It is because

Sheriff D. A. Wennerstrqm call;
ed off his search today for Bar
old Ryen, wanted for abandon
ment. Wennerstrom discovered
that his wife had let Ryen into
the county jail because he was
tired and hungry and wanted a
place to. rest. ' , , -
he thinks there is nothing new."
ConsarTaiire Bui Different .
Scalise described :"the proper
male suit for Easter as "conser
vative, yet different.". No- man
could complain about that nowH
could he? '
"The big basic change" will be
the very narrow lapel vahd the
high gorge effect,' he said.
, "Gorge, did you say?'? we ask
ed.,- ; , V.,.v'.V,V !
"That is this seam," he ext
plained, fingering th notched
part of his lapel. He was wear
ing a -charcoal gray suit with
narrow lapels,: narrow, cufflesa
trousers, a pink ' shirt ; and a
black and pink striped necktie.
"The" low gorge and the wide
lapel gives a man a heavy, slop
ing look,". he .continued.; Sever
al men nearby eyed their lapels
nervously, which proves that
man is not insensitive, to critic
ism of his clothes. ? A
"The trousers will be a little
lower in rise and narrower at
the knee and at the bottom,"
Scalise continued. "Cuffs are op
tional." : v .
"Rise?" we asked respectfully.
Scalise pointed to his waistband.
Charcoal Big Color 1 . . -
Charcoal gray is still the big
color, he said. This should be
conservative enough for any
man." - " " :
"We .heard about a company
Padding
that's going to sell suits with a
pair of pants and half," he
said. - "One- long, -.one . Bermuda
length.What do you .'. . ?". .'
.There were cold looks -all
around. This is the kind of start
ling change that scares men
away from accepting new fash
ions, we realized suddenly; -
"Event the narrow lapel will
be modified for our customers,"
Louis D' Andrea, executive of a
men's store, said later as he
showed visitors around the, con
vention display of new styles.
"We will sell many peaked lap
els; somewhat narrower, with a
higher gorge." - ,
D' Andrea was wearing a char
coal gray suit with peaked lap
els, white -shorts and gray and
pink necktie.
One thing puzzles us thought
How come men don't even un
derstand 'simple, straightfor
ward talk about their clothes?
We asked our boss about his
gorge. He looked at his stomach
and said, "I know. I've gotta
go on a diet." ...
