'TWELVE MEPFOBP (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday Marefe 11, 19SS right Accents Enliven Jark Shades in Men's '.'Spring Apparel Fashions Charcoal Gray . Used To 'Mufe' Other Colors The broad trend in men's spring clothes is toward the dark shades, relieved by bright col ors in shirts, ties and accessories, and often as decorative touches in the suit fabrics. In the new suits, there is great use of charcoal gray, alone, and as a mixture. The charcoal shade is used to "mute" other colors and many medium weight j-ear-round-weight suits appear in "char tones" charcoal brown, charcoal blue and char coal green. These color combinations are achieved by blending different colored wools before they are spun into yarn and woven into fabrics. The colors are evenly mixed in the nap of the fabric, of a charcoal color with a dif ference. The second color wheth er green, brown or blue, be comes apparent when closely viewed. Bright colors 'appear in the spring and summer tropical worsted wool suit fabrics as decorative touches on a dark background. Pink and helio trope are the most widely used decorative colors, and they are used sparingly. Both these col ors have achieved popularity in shirts and neckwear. Their use in the wool suit fabrics is de signed to achieve close harmony between accessories and suits. Year 'Round Weights Also important on the spring style scene is the introduction of the "year 'round suit," in medium weight worsted wool and wool tweed fabrics. This has resulted logically from the level ing off to temperature ranges. Men who prefer lighter suits will find that these new Weights are just what they need for all but the coldest part of the late winter-early spring months. On the other hand, their lighter weight extends the sea son in which they can be worn through June if last year's tem peratures are repeated, and on mild days throughout, the sum mer. For the neally warm weather, "wash 'n wear" suits of fabrics crafted from man-made fibres, such as Orion and Dacron will bs popular this year. These suits will be exceptionally light in weight and will retain their neat, crisp look, even on the hot test, muggiest days. Constructed for complete washability, they will need little or no pressing after laundering. Two Silhouettes There are two major silhou 7ettes in the new spring suits, both single-breasted. One is the familiar two-button coat style with patch pockets, center vent and a rather full coat body. The second and newest is a perfection of the "natural look" suit that results in making this trim model wearable even by the biggest men. This calls for narrower shoul ders with no padding, soft, flex ible coat front, high gorge (nar rowing of the lapels at the shirt collar line), and high 6leeve hole. Pink is an important new pas tel in sport coats and slacks. Basket weave wool sport coats in solid pink, and lightweight pink wool Shetland coats with scattered black and white nubs have a freshness that is appro priate for warm weather wear. In sport jackets, colors for the upcoming season are the bright est ever shown, featuring almost any pastel color that can be named. piny iji,.',i.jj. ,iiyiwv? ii JUiia;i '';'!'V"'V;;,TW at SUITS OFFER FORMALITY The new wool suits offer greater formality for warm weath er wear and a new medium weight for mild weather throughout the year.

Color Makes News In Shirts for Men Color plays tne biggest part in the men's shirt- story for spring. Soft pastels are solidly entrenched. The popularity of colored dress shirts to brighten the dark wardrobe grows apace, and for spring there is an ever widening spectrum. The success of pink and helio will continue into the -warmer months. Cognac, peach, lime, mint green, rust, orange and bright blues are also very much in the picture. At the other ex treme, charcoals have been add ed to dress shirts for ensembling with the lighter summer coat. Though solid colors hold the spotlight, subdued and subtle pattern effects in fine stripes, candy stripes and fine checks figure importantly on the style scene. Collars will continue thpir trend to short points, with me dium spread. Dress shirts will be broad- J cloth, chambray or the new! open weaves which are present-' ed in both natural and man-made ! fibres, including striped lenos ; and patterns in fine Dacron! L?t:stes. Sport shirts run the gamut I i'rom white to black, with fiesta ; ellow, buscayne, rum colors, r.iint. orange and coenac hir eling for favor. Patterns will in clude novel designs, checks, stripes, plaids, dots and space figures. . a As We Live A man must show that he loves his wife. Saying so is not enough. (Q) "I have been married less than three years, and we have broken up once during that time. My husband shows more a f f ection to hist old girl friends than to me. Ha brags about his conquests. He lies lo me about them. Dr. Kurlock t ,h e n gets mad and won't talk to me for days when caught. He ignores me at home and when we are out, but otherwise is the life of the party. If I am kissed once in two months, I'm happy. "He treats me more like a housekeeper than .his wife. He tells me I am jealous and selfish and no matter what he does, not to forget it. I wouldn't mind so much but I am quite good-looking, dress well, keep myself and my home neat and clean. I don't think he can love me very much or he wouldn't treat me as he does. I would like a little love and respect from him. He says .he respects no woman. What would you do?" (A) If I .were you, I would pack my bags and leave. Your chances of a happy marriage with this man, judging by what you say, are about zero. Hisl . By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. whole attitude toward women is so bad that there is little likelihood that he will change. You do not say whether you have 'children, but the tone? of your letter suggests that you do not. Even if you did, I question whether a home such as your husband would provide would be animprovement over a home with you alone. If you have no children, there is no obligation on your part to put up with such treatment any longer. If your husband merely liked to amuse himself with other women's flattery and attention, you might overlook this on the ground that he was behaving like a schoolboy and would grow up some day. But his state ment that he has no respect for women and his proof of this in the way he treats you would indicate that he is not and never will be good husband material. So,' pack up no wand go.

Wallpapers Use New Patterns Spring's designs, according to the Wallpaper Council, interpret wallpaper artwork as a back ground for living, rather than a repetition of motif. Living room papers use designs of great elegance and formality: new ver sions of flock patterns give the appearance of precious silk damasks. Delicate all-over patterns look like exquisite old Chinese prints. Provincial patterns and neat over-all geometric suit casual liv ing. Florals are done with a mod ern touch. Deemed especially fit for lim ited space or urban living, are new "perspective" patterns which add depth and dimension to walls with designs that sug gest an outdoor landscape or an inner room most realistically. Color trends in new machine made wallpapers veer to clean, light colors. Delicate pastels, no more than a gentle wash of col or, are shown. In monotones, clear gray outpaces the former leaders, beige and browns. Wallpaper makes practicality news with ample additions in scrub-able, plastic - impregnated and plastic-coated presentations.
