He Will Be 21 Next Thursday......

VOU mothers, sisters and wives, who gave deep thought when purchasing that last gift for him, do you know he didn't wear it, simply because it didn't go with his particular suit or other accessories. If- he is-most articulate and characteristic in analysis of his accessories, then there should be no difficulty in choosing a suitable gift for him from those shown here. One of the most durable of this season's hats for men is the new Royal Crest in very light grey. Being in Ihe Tyrolean shape with a narrow velour band, it can be adjusted to any style. Scarves in any colour combinatlon to match the tie or hat could be procured. ' I would suggest one of the English Foulard style in bottle green with a fine over-check in silver toning. Winter calls for gloves and while there are many varieties to choose from, Hogskin gloves give lasting wear and retain their snug appearance indefinitely. The motif design in men's ties is to beeome evident in this country, especially for the angler. The tie being featured is a dark grey ground-pattemed with tiny fish hooks— a fish being printed across the front. .Narrow armbanc c in two tones of green with puspenders to match in an attractive narrow phape. Sleeve-links to match your colour combination is the latest idea. The particular pair I have in mind is elongated in jade and gold. Smartness in brogue shoes. These are something different to the ordinary type of brogues in bygone days. Made over *

medium pointed toe-last that is to much the thing with quality footwear of English and Continental makers Note the full brogued pattern and the low-cut vamp.' These shoes can be obtained in specially selected black box calf or brown willow calf. Socks, artistic in pattern and suitable contrast to the shoes, are an added advantage. The patent inlay collar on the new rust-coloured suede Grecians, a different style slipper which gives excellent service as a house shoe and is particularly soft and comfortable. Bearing on the winter theme for sportirtg wear, I happened to come across a hardy winter-weight sports shirt featuring the new tie.-cord neck replacing all buttons. Short sleeves give freedom of movement, yet fit so cosily. I have picked one here knitted in thick wool in dark green, horizontally striped with white. Perhaps shirts form the most serviceable of all gifts. There are so many to choose from in materials which feature many designs. The one shown above is of jstrong poplin, with which two collars of the newest cut are included These suggestions are just a few of the many acceptable gifts which can be given to a man on his twenty-first birthday, and to show how they can be bought to suit his personal taste and features, I have had some of the above suggestions photographed on a wearer so that you can see how his character enterg into the dress sense. If. when you're buying, you take my advice, I know he'll be satisfied.— JToJai.
