SCARVES POPULAR.
The Prince of Wales, who assured the popularity of "belchers" — blue silk scarves with tiny white spots—a year or so ago, has now spread the fashion of checked scarves for men. These are usually made of soft tweed or cashmere (writes our London correspondent). Belchers, by the way, were named after Jem Belcher, a prize-fighter of Regency days but their vogue has been somewhat eclipsed now by the übiquity of club ties and their matching woollen scarves, lne 'varsities produce innumerable new "creations" in this respect each term. The latest at Cambridge is that of the 'Varsity Colonial Services Club, who have produced a tie with pale blue maps of Africa studded over it, instead of spots or stripes. This almost beats the effort of a pre-war dining club, which had a cream-coloured tie, decorated with representations of minute wine bottles in maroon!
