Best-Dressed Men

To various men come various honors. To Peter Arno, middle-aging glamor boy of Manhattan cafes, cartoonist for The New Yorker, went the honor last week of being chosen the best-dressed man in the U. S. The award was made by the Custom Tailors Guild of America, which ought to know.

Tall, splendid Mr. Arno owns 17 suits (averaging $125 apiece), 14 pairs of shoes (at $18 to $50 a pair), 36 shirts (at $9 a shirt), not to mention other odds & ends a man needs to keep himself decently covered. Said he, he never thinks about clothes, just dresses to be comfortable. Others who caught the Guild's professional and admiring eye: Glenwood J. Sherrard, president-manager of Boston's Parker House; William Rhinelander Stewart, Manhattan socialite; Lucius Beebe, lush cafe columnist; Dr. Gordon Green, New York physician; Frank L. Andrews, president of the Hotel New Yorker; platinum-haired, oriflammable Paul V. McNutt, Federal Security Administrator. McNutt, smiling modestly, also denied that he gave dressing any real thought, declared: "One is rather embarrassed by all this, and I think the less said the better."
