MAKING NEWS AT MIDNIGHT

At first glance you Il hardly think this pleasant scene pictures formal wear news of major importance. Other than the fact that good grooming abounds here, all seems quite normal. But if were to query the dinner jacketed fellow, he'd tell you he has never been quite so comfortable in his evening wear as he is just at present. The reason?

His midnight blue peaked-lapel jacket, with grograin lapel facings, is made of tropical worsted. This is as sensible an in novation in what-to-wear as ever we did See. for here's the obvious anser to those ever-present tropical temperatures you invariably find in the night spots. Naturally’ a heavy overcoat is necessary while making the rounds from pub to pub. It-s another step in emancipating the male.
