The new styles reflect a complete departure from the mode of the post-war period when casualness and infor mality in suits were practical ly a rule. The "casual look" is now largely confined to leisure hours, while suits take on a more businesslike ap pearance. The new fall suits display a great deal of eye-appeal in both fabrics and models. Men who prefer the modern models combining the best of the Enelish tradition with Continental detailing and thei American ease of fit, will find such suits tailored of fabrics embodying a new elegance. Intricately subtle weaves of fine wool-worsteds, blends of silk and worsted, slightly iri descent effects of worsteds blended with mohair andor silk yarns, and jacquarded patterns all in medium to dark shades of grey, brown, or blue, point to a modern dressier look. Fabrics Have Variety Devotees of the natural shoulder or "Ivy" type of clothing will find a greater se lection of fabrics in their fa vorite models, too. These in clude subtly colored mill-finished worsteds in neat tradi tional patterns; tough, long wearing sharkskins, new hop sacking fabrics and, of course, the perennial flannels in both plains and stripes. Stripes, incidentally will be more popular than ever this year in all types of clothing. There will be pin stripes, pencil stripes, cluster stripes, ombre stripes and even some "wriggly" stripes in the jac-quard-type cloths. ' While "Ivy" models in suits' show few changes, there is an increasing acceptance among the "non-Ivy" dressers for the "American Ambassador" mod- ei. This is a trim suit with flattering lines that will seemingly take inches off a man's waistline while adding inches to his height. Among its distinguishing characteristics are a close fit ting collar, slender lapels with only a tiny notch, and slightly tailored but not broad shoulders. The "Ambassador's" three buttons are set a bit lower and closer together than usual and its general effect is pleas ing and new looking. The newest fabric category is winter-weight wash-and-wear, which has hit the peak of popularity for warm weath erwear and is now being adapted for the cold months. These suits are of the ."auto matic wash-wear" type put them through the entire wash cycle, then toss them into the dryer, and they come out pressed and ready to wear. Topcoats Are Shorter Topcoats for this fall will be considerably shorter. New dressy models, in the manner of the "American Ambassa dor" suit will share " favor with the new "split-raglan," the big shaped balmacaan, the semi-fitted chesterfield and the roomy box coat. Fabrics will be lighter in weight, but very warm. Hats will be lightweight, smaller in overall size. The newest model, the "Centre dent," features a center creased shape and a front pinch. ; In dress shirts, smaller shaped, neater-appearing col lar styles will coordinate with the slim, trim look of men's clothes. Bold prints and bulky look sweater shirts will be prominent on the casual scene. Neckwear will be livelier, with more colorful and bolder effects shown both rn woven designs and in prhiu r Mother of pearl and rhine stones trim small, softly gath ered satin bags for evening.

European Influences Seen in Leather Shoes From tapered square toe to lightweight, soft flexible leather sole, the new leather shoes carry out the slim sub tle line of men's apparel so apparent this fall, even to the smooth dark-toned leather linings. Lasts are generally narrow er and more subtly tapered; patterns are more refined; custom stitching adorns other wise smooth unbroken ex panses of leather; leather welts are narrow but no less rugged. k The Continental or so-called Italian look has become ail American. Store windows abound with hand-sewn moc casins with square toe in smooth and textured leathers. The same European influ ence is reflected in traditional types such as wing tips, plain toes, straight tips, and mocca sin fronts. Fewer Eyelets Generally, there are fewer eyelets, with three and four eyelet ties most popular. You will find stitching from the most intricate handwork to simple machine stitches on most of the new fall styles. Slip-ons have moved from the casual category to dress and business wear. You'll see them in all styles from the classic unadorned plain toe to the perforated wing-tip. Many in both smooth and brushed leathers have details such as straps and buckles, or crossed straps. Leathers vary from the high polished smooth leathers in brown or black to rugged brushed leathers in tones ranging from cinnamon to green. Grained leathers show up in both dress and casual shoes, with finer grains more predominant in the former and accented grains in the cas ual footgear. The big switch-over is to brown, after several seasons where most shoes were black, The browns tend to be dark Letters Help Boost Morale of Student The first time away from home is a trying experience for a teen-ager. It's tough on parents, too. Friendly, unsen timental and chatty letters from you at regular well- spaced intervals will help to boost his morale and increase his self-reliance. The best letters, according to the experts consulted, are calm, friend and relaxed "and give a lot of news from home.
