New Construction Material
Featured in Men's Sportswear
As bracing as a Spring tonic
in the 1959 range of mascu
line sportswear. In addition to
colorful good looks, these gar
ments for fun and leisure also
boast new construction fea
tures for greater comfort and
ease. And greater use of "sci
ence" fibers in the fabrics
makes for easier care says
the American Institute of
Men's and Boys' Wear.
A quick run-down of what's
new for and in tune with 1959
starts with sports jackets,
fashioned in lighter-than-ever
wool fabrics, wash-wear cot
tons, man-made fabrics, or
blends of any or all of these.
All are designed for that basic
consideration: to keep cool in
the hottest weather, and to
look smart and crisp at all
times.
Rang of Jackets
As for the good looks, the
jackets range all the way from
the traditional blazers in solid
colors, to bold checks and
kingsized plaids. The muted
tones of India madras are also
in favor.
Fans of wool will find light
weight hopsacking weaves at
tractive, while other men will
prefer thes leekness and soph
istication of silk coats. Flannel
blazers never go out of style,
and this year will be found in
solid colors, stripes, and again
solids with contrasting piping.
' The same variety and ap
' peal are to be found in the
range of sports slacks, with
Ivy models heading the list for
many. Some of these feature
back-flap pockets, English-inspired
self-supporting beltless
slacks, and the new-as-tomor-row
"Continentals" which are
distinguished by their single
pleat cut, slim lines, polo
pockets and side tabs, among
other features.
The growing demand for
wash-wear slacks brings about
a greater variety of them than
ever. There are even wash
wear, f eatherlight flannel
slacks this year, ready to wear
after laundering and drip-drying.
Other models include
slacks with that now-familiar
iridescent sheen effect and a
great variety of patterned
types that go with solid col-
Cavitation Used
By Boating Fans
Cavitation is a frequently
used word in boating circles,
and just as frequently misun
derstood. Cavitation is the condition
when a propeller races ineffi
ciently like an automobile tire
spinning on ice. This occurs in
soft water caused by air pock
ets, motor gases or turbulence
caused by an under-the-boat
obstruction.
Improper outboard motor
set-up can cause cavitation.
The commonest reasons are
the motor being tilted too far
from the transom or the motor
too high on the transom.
Other common causes of
cavitation are slippage due to
a high lift of a boat in a tight
turn, a bent' or out of balance
propeller, one that is too small
for the power plant and the
boat, weeds snagged on the
lower unit or a poorly de
signed keel.

ored blazers.
It's a safe prediction that
more men will turn- out in
walking shorts this year than
ever, with Bermuda lengths or
slightly longer versions get
ting the preference.
Sweaters continue to enjoy
their great revival, with cardi
gans among the standouts.
These feature button-up fronts
among other styles, and are
woven in lightweight wools,
"science" yarns and cottons
or blends. Crew-necked bulky
knits are showing in great pro
fusion this Spring, along with
V-neck styles, all in a range
of colors and patterns that are
open invitation to the leisure
life.
Beachwear for 1959 is high
lighted by a range of knit
briefs, elasticized shorts, mid
length boxer shorts and the
new, long-legged surf riders.
As complements, cabana sets
are available in great variety,
with matching shirts and
trunks in terry cloth and other
cottons. Look also for terry
lined beach coats and the new
toweling cloth "ponchos" for
comfortable dry-offs after a
plunge in the surf, lake or
pool.

Sportswear Marked
SILK - COTTON TWEED-
Spring-popular c o s t u m e, in
silk-cotton tweed, interprets
the lifted look with a brief
jacket, high-waisted detail for
sheath. By Abe Schrader.
With
Classic styling, brought up-to-date
through the use of in
teresting fabrics and colors,
marks sportswear this spring.
Among the most popular of
the classics is the "separate"
shirtwaist, composed of a
matching blouse and skirt.
Many outfits center around
versatile jackets, from waist
to hip-bone length, with easy
Chanel - influenced lines, soft
collars and, often, double
breasted detailing and dolman
sleeve treatments. They ap
pear in a wide range of fab
rics, including pique, linen
and Provincial prints, and
may be worn over skirts,
pants and dresses.
As an alternative to classics,
the modified empire line has
been adapted to casual fash
ions through optical illusions
that suggest the silhouette
without actually indenting un
der the bosom. High tabs, but
tons and yoke interest are the
chief devices.
Spotlight Blouses
The importance of both cas
ual suits and skirt-and-jacket
combinations has focused a lot
of attention on blouses. There
are both no-show and fill-in
necklines, many soft bows and
draped scarf treatments, cum
merbund and self belt effects
and raised waistline detailing.
Overblouses in waist-length,
hipbone length and in-or-out
types share popularity with
tuck-in styles. Both overblous
es and blousons are often co
ordinated with skirts, pants
ic Style
and shorts.
Colors range from vivid to
white, with delicate tone-on-
tones looking especially new,
Prints include hand-screened
and warp-type silks.
Sweaters Look Two Ways
Sweaters tend to be either
very long or very short. At
one extreme is the loose chem
ise sweater, around 21 inches.
In. contrast are short jackets
and boleros reaching just to
the midriff.
Among the new fabrics are
a wider-than-ever range of
rugged blends and wash-and-
wear types. Old favorites have
been fancied up, such as terry
decorated with gold threads
and "hot" plaids in off-beat
iridescent colorings.
Prints include native ba
tiks, abstracts and lots of
stripes.
THEY'RE REVERSIBLE
"Reversible" is an impor
tant trend in new coats and
jackets. Solid color on one
side, print . on another is a
popular turnabout effect. Oth
er reversibles offer a quick
change from color to color
and from fabric to fabric.
Gowns Have New
Ideas for Charm
Gowns for the spring bride
combine traditional influ
ences with new - ideas for
freshness and charm.
High empire waists are
marked by bows, bands or
sashes, often in contrasting
pastel shades. Lace, floral ap
pliques, seed pearl and crystal
headings are also used to em
phasize an empire bodice.
Silhouettes range from
dome shapes to styles with
flat fronts and side fullness.
Carriage skirts with bouffant
backs and fan skirts with soft
waistline pleating are other
choices. Many skirts are
slightly raised in front, with
court trams in back.
Period influences include
high - rising Regency backs
and trains, Watteau panels
and Victorian self-roses and
bustle - back effects. Sleeves
are usually never longer than
elbow length.
Among the favored fabrics
are Chantilly lace, taffeta, ny
lon chiffon and nylon tulle,
peau de soie and satin. Sheer
fabrics, such as organdy, are
often embroidered with all
over floral patterns or feature
all-over lace appliques.
PLACEMENT - Created for
dramatic placement on high
rise silhouettes is mobile
pendant pin, combining irides
cent cabochon topaz stones
with aurora borealis. Bracelet
and drop earrings blend with
pin. All by Coro.
New Textures Join Stockings Fashion
Growing interest in new
textures joins the continued
trend to color, to create fash
ion news in stockings for
spring.
Shades range from pale bis
que tones and. pastel mists to
dark off - blacks. Stockings
may have only a whisper of a
tint or come in such hues as
deep, rich blue or bright pink.
These are colors to com
plement just about every
fashion shade, including
greens, lilacs, golds, apricots,
grays and beiges. Some are
treated so as to give a fragile
glow to the leg.
Textured sheers with a 16 ok
of lace are sometimes remin
iscent of the early Thirties.
Among other textured stock
ings are those with a very
fine rib effect, shadowy check
and tweed patterns in such
two -t one combinations a s
beige-brown and gray-white,
and honeycomb weaves.
Many come in seamless styles.
It's not always necessary to
match hose to costume colors.
More striking effects may be
achieved by wearing dark
stockings with white, pale
stockings with bright colors
and adventurous shades with
prints.
CHECKED FOR SPRING
Checks form the most im
portant fabric design for
spring. There's great varia
tion in size and color. Promi
nent are black, brown, red or
navy with white.
CUTAWAY LIKED
A modified cutaway line -high
in front, dipping slightly
lower in back - is liked for
easy suits. Wide belts for
dresses and suits f611ow the
same line.
