By Orrllle 0. V ktor. i Cor right, 1512, by I. J. Itoblnson. 'In the spring the young man's fancy Lightly turns to though: of lore."

mO TennyHou says In bin poem

SI "Lnokesley Hall. but the I youug niun'K fancy aJn tnrns

to thoughts tf a nevr bat just before the hle bird's note Is

heard throughout the lard rnd the goldpn-hucd dandelion tnitkes its nppenranco to the dlxgut of the man who fain would hne a -relvet lawn. The oung man and i the middleaged man and the old nan, too wl!l be able to choose from ' u well-nigh eouutless profusion of baidgear this season. For formal dress, "ithe silk bat will take the place of the long-popular opera hat. No reason Is given for this change It may simply' be ascribed to the vagaries of fashion ; but It must be admitted that the silk hat is far more genteel In apiiearance than the one that may be collapsed 'and carried under the arm. A flat brim and a 5tncb crown will be the turret style.

Soft huts, which during the past year have been sold as never before, will continue in general favor throughout the year; as a rule, these will be comfortable and becoming. The "freak" lint ha been abolished, although one may be seen now and then on a man with receding chin or other evidence of weakmlndedness. TL-e most popular of these soft hats this i.prln? will be found In the old favorite Alplue, and the Panturist, shaped with brim roll in the back. The rough finish hats will continue in evidence, and tho "scratch-up" with soft finish; but they will be toned down and will present a nice, refined appearance, i The fashion of wearing a cloth hat of the same material as the overcoat, quite popular among a certain set last fall, Is doomed to extinction, and will not be welcomed this spring. Cloth hats will be worn and In great number, but they will not be made to match the coat. In fact, the style will coll Tor contrast in this respecl. and for the most part solid colors will be in demand.

The fine velour will be worn much for early spring, with medium crown and a crease in the centre. These are made of the French "coney," as the skin of our domestic rabbit is, as a rule, too coarse for the purpose. A turban brim, to turn down or up according to the whim of the wearer, is another feature of the velour. The 1912 derby will have a low crown and a wide brim, known as the D'Orsay brim, a French style. The fad. of wearing the derby upon the back of the bead has been abandoned even by the "college boys." Straws are being provided in as many different styles as last summer. Favorite among these will be the sennets and splits, with low crowns and' wide brims; but some will prefer the higher crown and narrower brim, and there will be plenty of these on the market. The pencil curl mackinaw will be among this summer's favorite also, and the Bnnkok, which proved so popular last year, is expected to repeat its success this summer. -

HEN the wintry winds have

ceased to blow and signs of spring remind us of sunny days to come. Young America will tmd many new gar

ments that hav been fashioned for bis special benefit. Some of these are distinctly his own so far as fabric and style are concerned; others are borrowed from, or copied after, the garments of father or big brother. Of the latter, one of the most pleasing is seen in the soft roll, three button, English model Norfolk, known as the Junior, in tans, browns, blues and blue-gray. These are for the larger boys. For the little chaps, from two and a half to ten years of age, Russian blouse suits and sailor suits will be shown, some with sailor collar and others with the Eton. A Norfolk suit, specially designed

for boys from five to ten years old, shows a more shapely jacket than ordinary, that contributes to the youthful appearance of the wearer. These are made up plain, both single and double breasted; some have patch pockets, and others have the ordinary pocket, with flaps to go in or out. For the older boys, say from nine to seventeen years of age, Norfolk jackets will not be so popular as in the past. The so-called old-fashioned double-breasted 'coats, with trousers and vest of the same material, are coming to their own again, and will be largely worn during 1912. These will be made for the most part from blue unfinished serges, worsteds, cassimers and cheviots. Stripes will not be so prevalent as mixtures in these suits for youths, except in the cheviots, where stripes are always considered good. With these suits either knickerbockers or full length trousers may be obtained of the same material.

A single-breasted, two-button jacket i of homespun, with inverted pleat, makes a very smart garment for the carefully dressed boy who wants something just a little different from the regulation Norfolk. For the larger boys, the English cut coat will undoubtedly continue in favor; made with a roll lapel, and a high-cut vest that shows above the three buttons of the coat, and with trousers of the same material, all made- fairly form-fitting, this produces a really snappy suit, one that any boy may well be proud of. All trousers for boys over 14 years old will have cuffs ou the bottoms of the legs, which, like those designed for their elders, will come only to the heel-tops. Following the fashion of the men, overcoats of light material, with convertible collars, which, when turned

up, . give the boys the appearance of

military cadets, will appear simulta

neonsly with the rest of their spring ; apparol. Some of these are made with pleats to the shoulder; others with a yoke!. Very good style Is shown In the light Norfolk overcoat' for boys, with a pleat running to the shoulders, and a. belt all the way around. These are made? chiefly from blue serge and fancy chev- r lot, and form an Ideal oat-door gar -ruent Tor spring, and, In the cooler latitudes, for summer nights. For formal functions the small boymust wear during the coming season a three-button Tuxedo with white vest; and knickerbockers (black) finished with three buttons at the knee. Black silk stockings, , oxford shoes; a frilled white shirt with collar at&chsd. ana a soft silk tie of any becoming color, complete the costume. The larger, boy may wear a shirt with stiff bosom, a poke collar and regulation black or white bow tie. -

19112 Model On Display In announcing its latest 1912 model, the Regal "35" Underslung Touring Oar, Model H. the Morel-Bricker Company is offering the public the most distinctive and attractive automobile value in the market. The Regal "35" embodies so many refinements of construction, such sheer beauty of lines, and excellence of materials, workmanship and finish that, sold at a popular price, it creates an epoch In the manufacture of automobiles. The advent of the Regal Model H Underslung Car marks the one disa tlnct advance that has been made in the construction of automobiles since the pneumatic tire made obsolete the solid rubber tire of the early da-3. Comfort is not all that the motorist should ask of his automobile. The dally newspaper Impresses upon the motorist the constant danger inherent In the present type of motor car construction, the danger of skidding or turning turtle that too often costs life or limb. The Regal Motor Car Company set to work to eliminate these dangers. It has succeeded. The new epoch in motor car construction is that of SAFETY and it . finds Its highest development in the Regal "35'.' Underslung Touring Car. Tho Regal "35" Is the first full underslung touring car to be produced and sold at a popular price. It is a car for all the people. It is not, in any sense a cheap car;' the materials and workmanship in this new Regal are the same you fijuj in motor cars selling at $4,000 to $6,000. The steadily pursued policy of the Regal Motor Car Company to place in the market the highest quality cars In materials, workmanship and appearance, at v prices within the reach; of the. greatest number of possible automobile purchasers makes the popular price the honest price an actuality; the gain is yours. j ' ROAD CLEARANCE With, the underslung construction, the Read Clearance Is Uniform in Every Part of the Car. Under the ordinary touring car, the flywheel may lear the ground seven Inches, the differential case by eight, the front axle by tea Inches. Every part of the Regal "35" Shews the Same Road Clearance Ten Inches a Maximum Obtainable With No Other Type of Construction. This Maximum-clearance makes the car of the v greatest value to tho tourist who has to take all conditions of roads and" bypaths in his spin across country. UNDERSLUNG CONSTRUCTION For years, in railway cars, trucks and other vehicles where safety and ease of riding at high speeds were necessary, engineers have used the Underailing Construction. Its application to the automobile is obvious now that the Regal Motor Car Company is placing the first full underslung touring car at a popular price In the market. This form of construction has heretofore been considered out of the question by most manufacturers because they knew that it was expensive and they wanted to sell any kind of car at any price to meet all manner of competition. But the Regal Motor Car Company has always served the people; It Introduced an innovation in the Regal H30", another one In the Regal "20" underslung roadster, and now marks a new era in the manufacture of automobiles).

19112 Model On Dispflay GUARANTEE OF SAFETY We have always believed in the underslung construction. We have) worked out the problem presented in a car mechanically perfect, superfine in quality. It is only through careful designing and wholesale manufacture in a magnificently equipped plant that we are able to sell this Model H Underslung Touring Car at $1,400. We have taken this step forward be cause ultimately all touring cars will embody this construction. An automobile manufacturer owes to the people to whom he sells cars the Strong est Guarantee of 8afety and Comfort he can put In the design of his product, the principles of its construction and the excellence of Its materiala. INSIDE CONTROL There is nothing to mar the beauty of lines-in the Regal "35" Model H. One of the refinements of construction that has its particular appeal to the motorist is the inside arrangement 6f the control levers. It is not necessary in this car to lean over the foredoor to operate the. control and brake levers. The car has an Inside Control, a feature of - construction1 thati Is found in very few cars in the, market. Many of the highest priced cars still lack this distinctive feature. The value of the inside control Is obvious. The driver has his levers close to the steering column ', and In the f Regal Model H they are placed at the angle which gives the driver the. greatest

and most efficient leverage. '

THE MOTOR The abundance of power from the flexible motor Insures the car. ohey- .. ing the. will of the driverwith surprising ease. The engine' develops' S5 hprsepower; the cylinders are cast In pairs. The valves are two Inches to diameter, and the springs, lifts and guides are enclosed In a dust-proofi3 proof and noise-proof case which' is readily removed. None c the poerjr - of the engine is lost through angle joints because the -Regal underslung eeev? struction affords a Direct Drive which means an ever-ready abimdaaoeroV power for the driver. " : EFFICIENT BRAKES Every motorist appreciates the value of powerful and efficient brakes. ; In the Regal "35," he is provided with four great brakes acting Directly on the rear wheels. Attention is' called to the brake beams for each settf ' brakes expanding and constricting on each rear hub which render. van Equalization of Efficiency under Ail conditions.
