MEN'S DRESS

Movements for Bright Colours

As was natural in the circumstances, the conversation turned to matters, of dress at the ■ luncheon given recently to the judges of the popular £3OO knitting contest (states the "Daily Mail.")

Mr.. Ernest: Thesiger, wearing his ■famous blue ? bird's-eye stock, expounded upon the new movement for brighter colours in men's dress. The green trousers and curled hat-brims now showing at Dorland House are, to his mind, I a step in the right direction. "In the summer," he announced, "I

intend to wear a cerulean blue corduroy suit which I bought in America. There, % perhaps because of the climate men ' are quite adventurous about dress and ' on a Hollywood golf course you frequently see white plus fours with vivid blue stockings and pullover. "In Berlin, too, I found a doublebreasted waist-length blue jacket, elaborately buttoned, with which one need not wear shirt. "In.the evening, I find I need never wear the accepted uniform. Deep blue 'tails' are hailed by hostesses as merely 'a lovely shade-of black !'" To meet'the objections that city men will never dare to practise dress reform, Mr. Thesiger recalled the prewar days, when he would not have ventured to go calling in anything but morning suit.
