Female Clothes

MISCELLANY "Time brings all things"

At the spring fashion shows in Paris, females were shown what to wear: evening gowns that came up to the neck in front and down to the waist* in back; sport sweaters used as jumpers; belts on jackets, ensemble coats and separate coats; colors of red banana, vert d'eau (light green), cochineal, silver grey, violine (light purplish blue).

Male Clothes

At the annual convention of the National Association of Merchant Tailors of America, assembled at Memphis, Tenn., males were told what not to wear: light tan or lemon-colored shoes, spats with tan shoes, top hats with tuxedos, bright colored hats and overcoats with any sort of evening clothes, soft collars in the city in non-summer months.

Suspenders were lauded as an aid in the proper hang of trousers.

Few rabid style changes were suggested.

*The waist line was fixed at the top of the hip bones.
