W) Foreign ex ports through tho port of Portland In February showed a 23 per cent in crease In value over the corresponding month a year ago, the merchants' exchange announced. Bookings fully as heavy for March wero predicted. In tho month ended the total val ue of foreign shipments from Port land was $3,314,369, compared to 91. 057,650 for February last year.

Men's apparel today allows more frnflifnm In tflfltA nnrl ( ftpfiicned i for more freedom of action than has been the case within a genera tion or more. Tho new double breasted drape that is being worn by the smartly dressed Easterner in more becom ing in every way and easier to wear than the coat as originally designed. A greater fullness at tho chest and shoulder blades makes for complete case, but the most distinguishing change on this Blyle is the wider placement of the buttons. Tho newest trousers taper sharp ly to the bottom and tho plaits are deener. Sleeves, too. are tanered 'which 'helps to achieve an air of naturalness and ease. Iho cash flap pocket and Franklin stitching are to bo seen on tho coats created by some, of the better makers. I There's eood ncwB for tho man who haB wished for tho return of three-button coats.

Miller, manaper for this rnimtv nt n. W. A., received notice this morning that bcginnlm; tomor- ! row, March 2. C.W.A. workers would ; operate on a lower wage scale. The Information Is expected soon. Whether you prefer double breasted or Bingle-breated itylea, you can now indulge in the jauntier appearance given By patch poefcets. This style treatment is no longer confined to summer apparel the new, deeper patch, pockets are styled to look particularly well with plain or neat effects in either un finished or rough fabrics. Franklin stitching, as used by ; one well known maker, does much to en hance the appearance of the patch pocket coat. For this spring the success of the Talon closing device is assured. No man who has experienced the neater effect, the more tailored appearance this gives his trousers will ever go back to the old construction. My observations have incjaded men in every walk of life and these men welcome the advent of today's new styles hestier, huskier styles that idealize and compliment the male figure. Physical appearance, always im portant, tofjay plays a more vital part in determining a man's suc cess than it has heretofore. To day's styles are the designers' an swer to that necessity. othy Lee, Thelma Todd and Ruth Eltlng are among the feminine play ers supporting Wheeler and Woolsey. Mies White is well known throughout the United States for her vaudeville and stage work. Miss Thomas has been a blonde charmer in many Zieg feld and "Vanities" shows. Dorothy Lee and Thelma Todd are Identified for their screen glamor; and Miss Ettlng Is, of course, the renowned glorlfier of the popular song.

I'm sorry I have to leave early but I really, really must. I had a grand time. (I suppose she thought we couldn't tell a "bargain counter" coffee by its taste. She wouldn't put tin-plated knives and forks on the table. But she would serve us a cheap coffee. Oh well.) Yes, I'll see you soon, darling. I want you and Harris to have supper with us soon. (When she comes to my house I'll serve her Hills Bros. Coffee and give her a real treat. T6o bad she doesn't realize that even though you buy coffee by the pound you drink it by the cup. Hills Br'os. always tastes bet ter and is really less expensive in the long run because of more abundant flavor.) And I had just a perfectly lovely time.
