PAGE SIX THE DAILY TAR HEEL SUNDAY, APRIL 7 iw iMiirnn i i"i"n ' i Cammpms Weair ILeanis Ji.owardl Gomiiorit A. A a : FASHIONS AGAIN Stretch Here's something really new. Shoes that actually lift yon above the crowd. Br means of a light cork innersole, impossible to see when they are worn, these shoes of special design can ac tually make a man as much as 2Yi inches taller. They are made in many styles, but must be ordered special from New York. Checks Run Rampant In Spring Fabrics, Even In Accessories If you like to play checkers, your new spring suit will probably make an admirable board, be cause checks in nearly all fabrics will run rampant in 1940. Leaders in many men's wear fields are using checks in ties, shirts, sports coats, and even in such accessories as shorts, sus penders, belts and handker chiefs. Although red and blue seem to be favorite colors, many shades are being used. Small checks go particularly well with the sports clothes that are now , on the well-dressed back, but it is advisable to se lect them with care. A checked handkerchief and tie go well with a plain suit. If your suit is checked, let your tie be plain and avoid design in handkerchiefs -and socks. Checked wool socks -are particularly good for sports wear, and you can have them in .any color you like. ALL THE DIME STORES carry pants hangers that will keep that across-the-knee crease from developing in trousers that hang too long in the closet. A ) Individuality You can see it imme diately in our individ ually tailored clothes. Come in during the weej: nave a smart new suit for Spring. 501 . L IPM A N EMPHASIZE SPORT TYPE AT COLLEGE Fabrics Are Soft, Rough For Style, Good Grooming Ease and comfort are the two characteristics notably reflected in campus wear for spring, 1940. The fabrics which are soft and rough, tweeds, cheviots, and Shetland's, are used widely be cause collegians find them Domination of the sports theme in suits was first notice able last fall. This spring it is. even more evident, and the cut of the cloth, the fabrics, the col ors and the models all bear out the popularity of the sports theme. The three-button, single- breasted coat continues to lead. It is no longer noticeably fitted, and there is a trend in favor of sack coats and lounge effects with easier features. There is also a marked slackening in ex- reme styles. DOUBLE OR SINGLE? Although double-breasted jackets are showing a slight de- j cline, they are still strong, par ticularly in smooth finished fab rics.. Throughout the South this style retains its popularity ' and holds its own against the single- breasted coat for leadership. For actual cutting, coats are longer and trousers of most suits are narrower. Many of the materials are rough, and most of them have definite designs, stripes and plaids leading. The popularity of the striped sports coat is reflect ed in many of the suiting mate rials, and in some cases plaids are so designed that the vertical lines are dominant, producing a striped effect. Some of these coats will undoubtedly be worn separately as sports coats with covert cloth or flannel slacks. INTERDEPENDENCE The war will have its effect upon this seasons colors as the British government has asked fabric manufacturers to con serve dyestuffs wherever pos sible. Consequently imported fabrics are in lighter shades which do not require the amount of dye necessary for navy blue, black and dark brown. For well-groomed campus ap pearance on the conservative side there will be, as usual, many hard-finished worsted patterns. Narrow stripes are popular, and the standard sharkskin is still good. Some of the new designs of this fabric have small herring bone weaves, while others are in plaids and diagonals. Topcoats this spring are single-breasted of the fly front type. Many of jthem have mili tary or (semi-convertible collars, and there is an increase in the number with set-in sleeves and flared skirt effect. The balmacaan and raglan models show an in crease, particularly when made up in tweeds. Some of these are used in reversible coats which college men favor because' they can be worn not only as rain coats but also for warmth in cool weather. The average man who wishes to be well-dressed should keep an eye out for rough materials with tweeds and cheviots leading. Maybe They're Not Confucius Says, But They May Help THEY TELL US that if you turn the collars of your shirts up before stuffing them into the laundry bag it will postpone for awhile at least fraying at the edges. Seems that the laun dry doesn't have time to do it before putting them in the washer and the edges rub. IF MORE MEN, more often had run-down heels rebuilt they'd be putting better feet forward. It only costs a few cents and usually the cobbler will do it while you wait. AN ELECTRIC TIE PRESSER that can be bought at most department stores, when slipped into the tie will take out those wrinkles that sometimes come from knots tied at the wrong place. Brace Up! In colors that harmonize with your spring" suits, these accessories stand out inconspicuously, if you know what we mean. Gabardine Porkpie Runs To Color The gabardine porkpie hat introduced by college students last year will be even more popular in 1940. It is now avail able in most men's shops, and its colors run from maroon and navy blue to such light shades A TOOTHBRUSH full of liquid shoe polish run around the top and side edges of the soles will keep shoes looking neat be tween shines. IT'S SIMPLE ENOUGH to make a note to the cleaners of missing buttons on your clothes when you send them out. They seldom fail to replace them, usually free of charge, if you call their attention to them. , ALSO FOR SUITS that may hang for some time in the closet are the "shoulder covers" that slip on over a coathanger and protect the top edges and shoul ders of a suit from settling dust. Or just cut off the tops of the paper bags that the cleaners use. 1 NEW LACES from the 5 & 10 will pep up a bedraggled pair of shoes.
