THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM SAiunuAi, atwu o, -ipi?.

So far as we can see now, there i Is no moderation in the colors which will be UBed ia making up ourhaberdashery this season. In fact, every; color of the designers' palette has: been used, then mixed and used over; again to fashion some of the effects we i see in shirts, ties and hosiery. There ! Is a strange, lack of rah-rah styles, and j . . I . ( 1 1 Vi n vtur '

mere is a peculiar uurio iu iud m bright, colors in that they express a certain dignity and yet are as gay as anybody could ask for. ' This state of affairs is perfectly natural, since it expresses our jubilant spirits tempered with the knowledge of the lesson we have just learned. Neckwear Generally speaking, ties will be narrower this spring and summer. The large, flourishing style of last year has about worn itself out with the best dressers, and all the new models show a perceptible decrese in width, though not to stringiness. Bow ties will of course be worn to a degree, but th.9 four-in-hand and open-ends are the shapes that are called for oftenest. Knitted scarf ties have been revived in the most beautiful striped effects and were worn a' lot in the early part of the season. They will still be good throughout the Bummer for informal wear, while fcr dress occasions, or at least for afternoon costumes dlsrlminating men will ask for grenadine ties. These are made in Perrian effects as well as in batik designs, and in the latter, which are

done of course by hand, the ties often cost a pretty penny. Cameo effects in taupe and blue silk are made to meet the request of the quiet dresser, as are also two toned styles in crepe. Hindu crepe in plain colors will be the smart tie for summer wear, and Venetian crepe in Oriental patterns will be a new feature in the tie world, i arira flnwpr effects, tempered by a

tapestry weave, will be seen, as will all kinds of figures, though stripes are of course natty for sports wear. .Among reds vermillion is the new shade, and along with it are seen orange and brick red. Purple, blue and green are next in popularity. Shirts

As to materials shirts are showing up practically as they did last season, except that we will see more of the r astern crepes than we did, since the7 are no longer novelties. Regular silk shirtings and crepe de chines are being used for the finer grades of shirts, while tfor everyday wear there are linen and silk mixtures, madras, mercerized cotton and percale. Pin stripes in gay colors such as orange, red, bright blue or purple are the newest things in syk shirtings, while in the mercerized effects satin stripes are shown more. There are more striped and small flowered patterns than solid ira Yo.eDt white. To many men

nothing is in better taste than a white silk shirt with a black knitted tie For outing or sports wear many of tne

shirts have attached soft collars, es

pecially those shirts which are or Knitted or jersey silk. Predominant colors are pink, blue, tan, green and brown, though there is no limit on the colors as presented this season. Collars Collars for summer are very apparently made with an eye to comfort, though they have been designed and cut so that they look anything but slouchy."- The new styles are moderately high, have extreme wing tips and plenty of space for tie room. The

makers hive gotten ' up new lines which give more tone than ever to the careful man's appearance. Some snappy texture effects are to be found in the soft collars, which are more of the high neck shape than winged like the stiff collars. These are shown this year with horizontal self stripes instead of the vertical ones which have been good this past season. Mercerized silk collars In pique stripes are shown also, but they do not retain their shape nor launder so nicely as the ones of madras. Hosiery

We are seeing the vogue of stripes

descending to our hosiery this spring

and summer. The patterns are not

gaudy but rather subdued because

they are usually of the two toned variety, and made of the finest silk. Solid colors are good too, and one sees very few polka dots beginning to appear, though for conservative tastes the two first mentioned styles are safest. Black, white and pale gray hose will be worn with white trousers and gray coats for sports and club wear, while the whole gamut of colors is there for the choice of those who have more hectic ideas of attiring

their feet.

Gloves and Canes

The shepherd crook has it for walk

ing use in canes, and the most popular wood is malacca, though they are

made also in bamboo and novelties. The straight cane with a gold or silver cap is still the correct thing for evening usage. Mocha, washable capes and suede will be worn early in the season, while silk "gloves in gray and tan will be the fashion for later summer.

NewWrinWes

Headgear

Early In the season we had Intimations of the dinky in our new headgear, and by this time men in the east are wearing the brims so narrow that they give a man's head the semblance of the proverbial peanut. There are many things to be reckoned with, however, before this style becomes nationally adopted. For instance, the returned soldiers, those of them who

wore the kindly campaign hat, could hardly be Induced to wear even a slightly narrower brim such as is seen on the average every day hat, much less would they consent to one of the new scant brimmed affairs which the effete east has been wearing for

tome weeks. Then too, there are the men of the southern cities, who need ihe extra width to shade their eyes from the hot sun's rays. And then the west separate the real westerner from his Stetson if you think you can. They may all come to it sooner or later, but not in a heap. The smartest materials are of courso

the soft, smooth finished felts, though there are some stiff hats shown. In the soft hats one can shape the edge of the brim to best suit one's facial contour, while the stiff hat is rather uncompromising along that line. Following the colors shown in suits, brown and green will be the most popular. There will be the usual array of sDrine. sxays. light tans, oxford,

I fawn and maroon, these to be shown

more for early wear in the silky velours of foreign manufacture. Somebody has said that ' we shall wear our bows in the back this season so In the back they are, and I suppose it is the exception that makes the

rule, so they co have a lew on tne side. Braid binds some hats and others have raw edges. Crowns are a trifle higher and reflect in their shapes the military note. There are no noticeable changes In derbies except for the afore-mentioned nnrrnwine of the brim. Though we

were told that we would be coming to stiff hats of pearl gray and light fawn before long as a sort of a case

of history repeating itself, so far we have escaped this, and let us hope we do, unless we really go in for It and lose ourselves completely in Mid-Victorian ugliness. ENSIGN IS DECORATED.

LIVERPOOL, April 5. The Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane society's silver medal and Illuminated certificate presented the other day to EnFign J. J. Munns, of the United States destroyer Beale, for gallantry at sea. In September, when the City of Glasgow was torpedoed. Ensign Munns, in a motor boat launched from the Eeale, succeeded under great difficulty in saving three of the four men left on board. i

SPRING STYLES FOR WOMEN TO FEATURE SHOW

The Style Show to be held at at Washington theatre Monday and Tuesday evenings will display the spring styles as drawn from the ready-to-wear stocks of the Lee B. Nusbaum company, better than they have ever been displayed before in Richmond. The millinery reveals a multitude of new style features, and fabrics share popularity with straw hats. Particularly the new and charming styles in dress hats will draw attention at the show and the many motifs developed in fine straws. are wonderfully brought out in "these hats.

More "frills" are applied to taffeta frocks than any other of the spring dresses, and frocks that are distinctively for sports wear are made in knitted maerials in dark greens, trimmed with white serge or white angora. Sport satin is prominently featured and combined with knitted fabrics and occasionally a striped sweater blouse is Been. Separate skirts are prominently , featured as there is a good demand for them; garments of the sport type but employing such exquisite materials that they are really suitable for any occasion, have the first call.

(By Associated Press) BERNE, April 5. Wartime food restrictions still weigh heavily upon the Swiss and are expected to remain

in force for several months.

The bread ration has been increased i

tr nine nuncea a day and Is expectea

to remain at thisr allowance till after

this year's harvests. The cheese raHnn la nine ounces a month. Butter

is only obtainable in the remoter coun

try districts. The sugar ration is eighteen ounces a month. There is a great dearth of milk and, although the ration is nominally a pint per day, it is rarely possible to obtain more than half a pint. Tapioca sago, macaroni, and many other similar articles of food are entirely lacking. Meat, though unratloned, is very poor inquality and cannot be obtained for less than $1.50 a pound. The restriction which most seriously effects the economic life of the country and also the comfort of the inhabitants is the reduced service of trains due to the coal famine. All express trains have been suspended and the speed of the few slow trains that run averages about fifteen miles an hrnr.

The importation of coal into Switz

erland falls short or the necessary minimum by 170,000 tons a month and this deficiency must be made good before travelling can become normal n train. The locomotives of the Swiss

State Railways are burning wood instead of coal. The war restriction on the use of PHsnlinft ia about to be removed. Its

shortage since 1917 had been so great

that the entire supply naa to De reserved for the use of the army and for physicians in emergency cases. The automobile had almost disappeared from Swiss roads. Now a large purchase of gasoline from Bohemia will

permit unlimited sale. DISCUSS FIGHT ON DISEASE
