s free and easy-and colorful
rut a man outdoors in spring,
and what does he wear? A
casual jacket that's light,
weatherproof and leather
Soft suede, smooth and
lightly grained leathers have
taken over in men's casual
fashions this
line, yet handsome and bright
n.c new slacks and sport
shirts-leather cdats, jackets
and shirts are high in style,
versatile . and easy on the
budget. V .
The tapered silhouette
marks spring leather sports
wear. The sports car enthus
iast will find the broad, com
fortable shoulder of his
smooth or grained leather car
coat built for free wheeling.
In creamy tan, rich stag or
jet black, a trim leather car
coat always looks smart.
Newest Car Coats
One of the newest car coats
of smooth, soil resistant leath
er has a yoke-like effect across
the chest which conceals the
opening of two neatly set
breast pockets-one for ciga
rettes, the other for a wallet.
Convenient pockets on the
sleeves hold small change and
a pea to ot down important
phone ' numbers. Self-leather
buttons and a collar tab close
the coat against breezes.
' For any activity-there are
- few garments as mobile .and
unhampering as a leather-and-
, knit i jacket. In light - knits
combined with smooth, grain
ed or suede leather, these
' jackets are seen in white,
taupe and natural deerskin
colors that highlight tweed,
j worsted and cheviot slacks
with knit insets under arms
and on cuffs and waistbands
: to match or contrast.
Suede you love tp'touch-
is found in everything from
a casual three-button sack
jacket appropriate for "town
or country wear to Bermuda
shorts for resort wear.
Suede coats, vests or jack
, ets are ideal for spring's
changeable weather; they re
pel water stains and give
smart lightweight comfort in
the mildest weather.
Walk Shorts Trot j
Into Summer Scene
,, Walk shorts trot into the
masculine spring and summer
scene with several new run
ning mates.
There's a pretty fancy ap
proach to patterns with a co
ordination that is tops. Ber
muda shorts, for example, in
traditional and updated Con
tinental models, vie with
slightly shorter Jamaica, and
play-short lengths.
Three quarter deck pants
go more conservative with the
addition of belt loops and sim
plified front pockets and box
er elastic backs. An even long
er length in pants (to the
ankle) is making a noticed en
trance. Patterns - anything goes.
Big batiks and native prints,
bright, light and' larger mad
ras plaids, british-look glen
plaids and ( district checks,
Bedford cords and twills, sol
id cottons and cotton blends
as well as denim and duck co
ordinate with the . exciting
styles in shirts, sportwear
and swim wear.

New Casual
Inspired by
Men's clothing for spring
has inspired an abundance of
new casual footwear in light
airy leathers and bright
spring colors.
Lightness of weight and ap
pearance characterize the cas
ual and dress shoe types. Light
porous leather soles are pre
ferred, even in. playshoes. The
uppers are made of new
spring-weight leathers for
that "walking in the clouds"
feeling. ,
New casual shoes are dub
bed "carefree" by shoe de
signers because they're made
for carefree liying and be
cause the leathers, such as
washable white and scuff
resistant smooth and grained
leathers, are easy1 to care for.
v White, in a distinctive peb
ble grain, :s used on casual
tie styles and slip-ons the
latter sometimes decorated
with.a golf-shoe kiltie on the
tongue.. White is also combin
ed with brown or black on
both casual and dress shoes
to complement light- slacks
and sport coats. 1' "'

new this spring ,in hawthorn

a subtle bronze undertone;
maverick - a medium brown
with a slight greenish under
tone; gaucho - a cool tan to
bacco tone, especially popu
lar combined with white and
American burgundy - a deep
cordovan color that goes with
almost any colorsuit or slacks.
Burnished olive and ivy -both
with a hint of green -join
loden green leather shoes
to make up a new, smart color
family.
Waxy-finish
; Polished, waxy -finish fine
grain and ' shrunken - grain
leathers are seen on casual
slip-ons. These have moc toes
with raised stitching on the
vamp or traveling on back to
heel. Some have straps across
the-vtongue, either i loose or
fastened down with stitching,

brass rings or fancy cut lea
ther loops. Leather linings
offer "backing" to shoes and
comfort to feet.
Town slip-ons are seen
with plain toes or in moc toes
styles in which the stitching
forms aflat reverse seam
played down effect that goes
well with the restrained styles
in business and casual appar
el. A whole new type of slip
on. is the wing-tip, which of
fers the convenience of the
slip - on but looks like the
business man's elegant wing
blucher.
Dress shoes honors are di
vided between moc-fronts and
wing-tips, and in both styles
the emphasis is on lightness.
Three or four eyelets styles
are favored but even the tra
ditional six-eyelet shoes are
lightened by use of trimmer
leather soles and have fewer
perforations.
A wealth of gores - hidden
or ' open elastic bands that
improve the fit of slip-ons -has
' spilled over from casual
to dress styles. Collegians and
young executives alike are
seen in handsome, high-rising
slip-ons with side gores . or
"boxer" tops.
Linens Enter Spring
Fashion Colors
Spring collections point up a
fabulous group of new linens,
and adds . the excitement of
tri-color combinations, with
hand-painted detailing, in om
bred tones or tops them with
cashmere sweaters. ,
Whether in pure linen or
silk linen, the brighter the
color the better. New combi
nations and strong, contrasts
startling enough to spark, an
artist's palette appear as hot
pinks combine with vivid
oranges or turquoise combines
with a brilliant purple..
For the less daring, black is
coordinated subtly with beige
tones and with browns. I

TV, Radio Sets
Are Attractive
The real source of fun at
home is often TV, stereo-and
radio and home movies.
Furniture t o attractively
house all these sources of
pleasure is making a big
splashy debut in the new
showings this year. The furni
ture industry has made limi
ted groups of cabinets prev
iously, but this year there's a
wider choice as to price and
style than ever before.
Among the refreshing ideas
are cabinets for TV which al
low the viewer to watch with
out resting his chin on his
chest. These new TV cabinets
conceal the set when not in
use behind handsome doors.
Many of the cabinets are
designed as companion pieces
to stand on top of matching
units which house radio and
or stereo.. Both upper and
lower units have doors which
fold back flat against the ends
of the cabinets.
The TV set is fastened to
a sliding shelf near the bot
tom of the upper cabinet. For
viewing, the shelf is pulled
forward, out .of the cabinet.
One such arrangement has a
swivel so the set may be an
gled. This is a boon to pleas
ant, easy room arrangement.
Color Big Pitch
In Men's Clothes
Color, in all its kaleido
scopic splendor is the big
pitch in men's and youths'
spring furnishings - brighter,
stronger and new tones of
standard favorites will come
into view.
Gold reaches a new range
that deepens into the glow of
orange or softens into whit
ened clay tones; olive the fa
vorite of past season, will be
sharpened by pewter over
tones, or p&steled into foam
mist and celery shades.
Blue, in all imaginable
shades, will be a strong first
place contender this season.
Ever popular and ever im
portant, black and white, will
strike new notes in sports
wear for this spring. In all the
categories of furnishings, a
strong revival of stripes is in
evidence - ranging from the
subtle pin to bold blazer va
riety. ;
' Batiks will lend their airs of
exciting, exotic profusion this
spring, and are available in
both authentic and simulated
prints. You'll find rich, deep
stained glass window colors,
that will bring a new glow to
shirts, robes and beachwear.
. If you have an eye for col
or'.,. . this spring will really
see that you have a great va
riety to shoose from.
Outdoor Furniture
Moves Into House
What,, used to be called
"summer furniture," "outdoor
furniture" or "porch" furni
ture loses its label of season
or placement as rattan,
wrought iron and rugged
woods move from outdoors to
indoors and vice versa with
equal ease and beauty. '
Today's so-called "summer
furniture" rightly takes the
nomer of "indoor-outdoor" or
casual" furniture as it graces
patios, terraces, lanais or sum
mer cottages as well as it
adapts itself to family rooms,
living areas, dinettes and dens.
The mood of the Orient and
Hawaii are brought to mind
by the more sophisticated new
pieces. But American fashion
plus function are in evidence
in plastic table tops, interest-1
ing combinations of wood with
rattan, stainless steel or lac
quered brass draw pulls. .
Scandinavian countries ana
Itally have contributed to the
form and size of much of this
new "casual" furniture.
Slim and low lines, similar
to much of our most modern
indoor wood furniture have
been adapted to the newest
rattan and metal furniture to
take the place of the curly-
ques of the past.
Spring Brides Have
Large Selection
Spring brides have so many
beautiful fabrics and silhou
ettes to choose from in wed
ding gowns that this season
should be blooming with the
prettiest brides ever to walk
down the aisle.
Among the season's most
exquisite creations are de
mure bouffant gowns of em
broidered Swiss organdy, di
viding into panels over a cot
ton organdy skirt. Sleeves are
tiny and the neckline is
scooped.
Outstandingly elegant gowns
from spring collections intro
duce a Parisian silhouette . . .
its silk taffeta sheath is elabo
rately embroidered with Al
encon lace motifs and is grace
fully filled out with a sweep

These lovely gowns are rep
rpapntative of distinctively-
different moods spring brides
are wearing-a sweet, demure
