New self-ventilating fabrics tell the story tiny air vents In the fabric that can't be seen with anything" short of a microscope. However, they do the twin job of making a man look his best at business or other work, while at the same time keeping him cool and comfortable.

Aluminum Used in Inboard Engines Fabrics Assume New Airy Look Appropriately for spring, new fabrics take on an airy look, with textures refined, and often crisp. Mohairs are fluffy rather than shaggy, and tweeds and other fabrics show a marked preference fori almost-lacy effects. Looper mohairs and-souffle woolens are impressive in open basketweaves, and fish net mohair makes an entry, looking refreshingly spring like. Other cool and lacy looks are achieved in wool and mo hair boucles, hopsackings, and blends of wool with silk, cot ton or synthetics. Some looped mohairs have been pressed flat, making for a novel effect and easier care. Also favored are brushed sur faces, tweeds lightly embel lished with mohair loops, and the knit look. Worsteds express texture in terest through ribbed, linen like or knit-like surfaces, with classic checked and glen plaid worsteds continuing pdpular. One of the nicest new ideas in worsteds for spring is worsted crepe, liked espec ially for suits and costumes. On the crisp side are the refined tweeds, appearing in wool or silk or in blends of wool and silk. There's crisp- ness, too, in new -1 ooking blends of reindeer hair and wool. Silk - a frequent choice for the all -popular dress and jacket costume - goes along with wool in the demand for texture interest. Rustics, such as tussah, and douppioni are among the leaders. Both cotton and the man made fibers show a new tal ent for emulating wool and silk in many dimensional textures. More use of light, sturdy, luminum was seen in the 1959 inboard gasoline engines exhibited by the manufactur ers at the 49th National Motor Boat Show in January. In addition to - the new lightness and added horse power, the 1959 lines also feature much lower silhouet tes, allowing replacement of older engines of -the same horsepower in a more compact installation. More of the en gines are being designed for use in smaller inboard runa bouts, work boats and sailing auxiliaries. Ballentine Industries showed two small gasoline in boards, at 5 and 10 hp, the Kermath Sea Pup and the Sea Twin. The new 1959 Chrysler marine engines boast lower weight to horsepower ratio for the V-8's with a new 172 hp engine rated at 3,600 rpms. A new light overhead valve V-8 is featured by Crusader Marine, and Dearborn has a new short stroke V-8 in its Interceptor line. Two other English - made inboard engines, the Parsons (English Ford) marine 60 and 96 hp models, also promote compactness and light weight. Some 22 inboard engines are in the Gray Marine 1959 line. Palmer Engines advocates use of their engines in pairs and Universal features low silhou ette and light weight, i" Gauging speed on the water is more difficult than on land. On a straight shoreline, set up two checkpoints a measured distance apart; time your boat between these points and con vert to miles per hour. After timing yourself a few times at different speeds, you will be able to tell from the sound of the motor and the feel of the boat your approximate speed.

Handbags, which for the past several seasons have had the proportions of small suit cases, go ladylike this spring. Smooth leathers are softer, grained leathers are finer, suedes are silkier and di mensions have dwindled to meet the ladylike proportions' of the feminine, more fitted silhouette. One of the most popular new handbag fashions is the oblong, smooth and flat with soft gathering at the topline closing to give inside roomi ness without bulk. This hand bag appears in both smooth and suede leathers for after noon and evening, in the new bright colors as well as the off-whites and darks. The smooth leather hand bag with horizontal length and a gently rounded contour and single strap handle wins spring popularity, especially for daytime wear. For casual or sports wear, handbags become more com modious but still retain a fem inine appearance. Boxiness is replaced with DON'T Risk It... BUTTON DETAIL - High, round collar and contrasting button detail dramatize an Italian -look spring pullover. It's a Designer's Original "Ban-Lon" sweater.
