Chip Tolbert, MFA Fash­ ion Director, states that, "We've definitely broken away from the ironclad rules of past years, but the 'anything goes' attitude that temporarily replaced it has had its day -- and the result is a more bal­ anced approach to the male wardrobe for all ac­ tivities." • How will men be dress­ ing for their business cal­ endar this spring and summer? That will depend on what business they're in, where they conduct it, and who their customers are -- and even within these definitions, there are permissible latitudes. "For example," says Tol­ bert, "a stockbroker in New York or Chicago may be the very picture of the 1976 look of elegance, while a man in the same pro­ fession in the suburbs might adopt a less formal fashion profile; and, a man dealing in securities in Los Angeles, Miami or Dallas might make further concessions to lifestyle and climatic conditions. "By the same token, an ad agency art director in a northern metropolis, or anyone in the sports field anywhere and the record­ ing artist in Nashville could all lean toward a fashion image for business that is more casual but still right for them." "Right" for a vast num­ ber of American men this spring and summer will mean vests. In view of the fact that these fashions are for warmer weather, the importance of vests is a solid indication of a pow­ erful fashion trend toward greater elegance. Also emphasizing' the trend to elegance is the large number of suits fea­ turing the dressier peaked lapel and a small but steady rise in double- breasted models. The new season will see stripes enjoy a tremendous upsurge in popularity, but the choices are no longer confined to the classic pin, pencil and chalk stripes. There now will be cluster stripes, strlpes-on-stripes, broken stripes, stripes on patterned grounds and fancy stripes. In addition to the usual white and gray stripes, there will be multi-colored stripes. Silk-looks will also be very strong in the fashion look for the coming sea­ son -- some in blends while others stress the lux­ ury of pure silk. The linen-look continues to hold a favored spot in the style scene. It appears in new shades such as ap­ ricot as well as a "macho" military model. Blazers, firmly entrench­ ed as an American favor­ ite, are being shown in classic navy blue as well as bright shades of blue, yellow, red, pink and green, in both single and doublebreasted models. All in all, the new spring and summer collections in menswear are among the b;st looking ever shown, with the emphasis on casual, contemporary ele­ gance, Impeccable styling and fit, and the soft grace of understatement. The family really beefs it up for Father's Day celebration! Father's Day has become something of a family feast day after 65 years as a community and family observance. And in many cases, it's the summer equivalent of Thanksgiv­ ing and Christmas. But there is one big dif­ ference. Whereas the win­ ter holidays mark the din­ ner fete with turkey pri­ marily, Father's Day is a "steak and potatoes" day, perhaps in response to dad's leaning toward beef as his favorite dish. Barbecue tops Of late, the backyard barbecue or cook-out has moved into the top billing spot with many families. And of course, the hallow­ ed steak -- rare, medium or well-done -- is in the limelight. It's easy to pre­ pare. It has the charisma of being a premium dish. And beef, in any of its forms, lends itself to out­ door cookery. Aside from sirloins, porterhouses and filets, there's the fast-fa­ vorite of hamburger that seems to suit everyone in DOORQn powcn OPEN AND CIOJE YOUR GARACi DOOR EMy to install Dependable Safe at your fingertips .

But, judging from the recipes reported and pub­ lished in the name of feeding dad better, choles­ terol conscious folks do amazing things with chicken, fish and lamb. *Eat-at-home' holiday It's hardly a one-way street, and it's surely not a monopoly. Cakes and cookies, pies and tarts, round off the fare, and in between come the fresh vegetables that are not generally available in such plentiful quantities and such wide variety during the fall and winter. . It's interesting that ob­ servers point to Father's Day as an "eat-at-home" holiday, a day when mom and the family go all out to please dad -- and may­ be themselves. How different from Mother's Day, just six weeks earlier when the family celebrates the Queen of the Range (kitchen range, that is) by taking her out to a restaurant to give her a day off from chores. Better than average No matter what dad has served to him this Father's Day, a prosperous eco­ nomic outlook for most of us suggests that his fare will be far better than on the average Sunday. (The Beef Industry Council tells us that beef consumption on Father's Day will better 72 million pounds.) And it's a very good likelihood that dad will have a practiced hand in charcoaling his own hot- dog, hamburger, chicken leg or lamb chop. Happy dining ... out... or outside . . . folks.
