Colors.

There has never been a season
when light colors we're SO fashionable
Every day new color or combina-
ton of two or more shades makes
it's appearance, and it is really difficult
to keep up with the names of both
colors and materials. In addition tc
the familiar pastel tints are leaf and
malachite green, topaz, daffodil and
orchard yellow, coral and crevettei
pink; an exquisite shade Of old-rose
known as pomino and very bright
shade of tan known as blond.

sanguine expectations of those instru-

an insight into the purpose of labor
and of its necessity TO society. In the

YE oLp-r1ME LANDLORD.

Tho late Colonel James r. Holt was
fairly representative of type of hotel
keepers for which Virginia was onco
famous. The type" was a man Of
culture. of elegant manners, OF the
most gracious hospitality, genial host,
who received his guests, not as paid
customers of his hotel. but as visitors.
Entertaining them was not business
transaction, but social function.
Such host was Colonel Holt, and
there were many others-Colonel Car
rington. of the Exchange and Ballard;
Colonel Goode, of the Buffalo Lithia;
Major Jarratt and Mr.. sublett. of Jar
rats Hotel. Petersburg; Colonel Terry,
of the Norvell House. Lynchburg;
Major George L. Peyton and Major
B. f. Eakle, OF the White Sulphur; Mr..
Calhoun. of the Allegheny, and so
was and is the gallant and chivalrous
Captain Phil T. Brown, of the Blue
Ridge. One of the noblest of them all
was Colonel William H. Fry, who is
so well remembered IN connection with
the Powhatan, of Richmond. and later
as proprietor of Coyner's Springs He
left his hotel in 1851 to go to the war
with the Richmond Blues, and served
CALAMITY till the end. He lived to the
good old age of eighty four. and is
honorably represented in Richmond to-
day by Manager P. M Fry, of the JEFF
ferson. Colonel John Murphy Is the
last of the "old school" now living
in Richmond, but he Is one of the
youngest of the younger set, and age
cannot wither nor custom stale his
infinite variety.
| We might place Mrs. Atkinson, of
the Richmond, in the old school If
1t We're permitted in polite society to
allude to a lady's age. But like Colonel
Murphy she is also Of the new school
and one of its most progressive men,
bcrs. Other Virginia women have
been equally successful at hotel
keeping, and also have adorned the
profession. Among these may be
named Mrs. Eubank and the late Mrs
Glover, Of the Warm Springs, and Mrs.
L. f. Doughcrty, Of Norfolk, retired.

mand concentrated attention. close OBJ
servation and intelligent analysis and
construction. The occupations arc
logically connected with the gifts. and
are the instruments of expression for
the new ideas acquired through the
gifts They consist OF sewing weaving
folding, painting, drawing. modelling
and cardboard construction. Through
them the child acquires great flexi-
bility and skill in the use of material
and grows in closer sympathy with
those who labor for his comforts. Ply
steal development Is afforded by means
OF rhythmic movements and marching.
aesthetic feelings. In the stories, the
treasure house of literature, with It's
myths, folklore and historic tales,
opens new world alluring to all chill
dren. The stories develop ideals and
serve as models for good language.
One of the most beneficial results OF
the kindergarten is the cordial rela-
tion established with the parents
through the medium of visiting and of
clubs organized by the mothers for
child-study. These clubs have been
united into a Federation OF Mothers
Clubs, and in its few years of efforts
the organization has become a power
full factor in our civic life, assisting In
all public movements helpful to the
child. The Council has now before it
the appeal for an increase Of funds for
the establishment of four new kinder
gartens. Fulton will no doubt receive
Its due and have a fine public kinder
garten established in the fall. The
overflow registration of West End and
Chimborazo Schools, due to the an
nexed territory, will be accommodated
by afternoon sessions in both schools.
These are the plans of the City School
Board which wait upon the interest OF
the Council, and they should receive
the hearty support of the law making
body. The kindergarten has become
an essential part of the public school
system of Richmond, and it should be
treated with the same consideration
that other departments OF the work
receive.

SIGNS OF 1MpnovEMENr.

There are distinct signs here and
there of a revival in trade, and they
arc most notable in the steel and iron
industry, which is said TO be the
barometer of trade" The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has placed an
order with four steel companies in the
State of Pennsylvania for $4,000 tons
urday that the Norfolk and Western
had placed an order for 10000 tons wit
the Carnegie steel Company.
Mr.. William E. Corey. president of
the United States Steel Corporation,
gave out an interview in Cleveland
Saturday night, in which he said that
business was improving, and he pre-
dicted that the normal stage would
be reached III the steel industry at
least by the close of the year. He
declared activity already had increased
so rapidly that tho, mills OF his COM
pany, reduced to a production Of only
Sc per cent. OF capacity in December
are. producing between 40 and so per
cent.
Tin plate, tubes and wires, he said,
were in good demand, and he instanced
an inquiry for $4,000 tons of steel
rails of the Cassatt pattern as indicat-
ing that the rail industry would re-
cover in short time.
On the heels of this statement comes
Tho apnnunceuent nv +,,a Acenoi,+.a
Press from Cleveland that between
5000 and 5000 men returned to work
yesterday in the Lorain plant of the
National Tube Company, which has
resumed operations after a shut down
of several months.
Mr.. James j. Hill, who has just re-
turned to New York from the North
west, is also in an optimistic frame
of mind He does not deny that rail-
road earnings next summer will fall
below those of last summer, but" he
adds hopefully. there are more people
in this country to-day than ever be-

now is rest Let 1t have rest and let

THE SUICIDE BUREAU.

The success which has apparently
attended the Salvation Armys organ
lied effort to combat suicide is sin
gular and astonishing. The Anti-Sui-
eide Bureau was established year
ago, with branches in London. New
York, Berlin Chicago and Melbourne.
A writer in the Chronicle, OF London
states that during the past year 1915
persons applied to the bureau in that
city for assistance. counsel and en-
oouragement. OF these, it is asserted
that while "a few" have unhappily
disregarded the bureaus efforts, and
a larger number may be still contem-
plating the act of self-destruction, no
less than rs per cent. have been fully
dissuaded from their rash designs.
This is remarkable showing. indi-
eating, as it does. the saving of more
than 800 lives. OF course, it is not
possible to establish the intrinsic ac-
curacy of these figures. No human
being can plumb the sincerity of those
who went TO the bureau saying that
they intended to kill themselves Some
of them may never have had any such
intentions. But two things tend TO
show that the bureaus dealings, prl-
marily, We're not with impostors. One
was the walk of life which the appli-
cants represented. They We're clergy
men, missionaries, military officers doc
tors. solicitors. architects, Journalists,
mechanics and the like, and were OBJ
viously not professional deadbeats. The
other evidence of good faith is found
in the bureaus basic principle, mo

terring people from suicide. The feat
would have seemed to many impossible,
In view OF the widespread belief that
is invariably the re-
suit of wild impulse or of mental dis
turbance, amounting to temporary in
sanity. The bureaus records seem to
show. on the other hand, that the act
frequently grows out of a more or less
calm elaboration, which weighs un-
happy conditions of life in the balance
against death, and chooses death as
the lesser evil. This makes 1t pos
sible for human sympathy and encour.
agement to step In and do their kindly
work. Possibly Mayor Johnson's sug-
gestion for a municipal antisuicide
bureau In Cleveland, which was ridi-
culed as chlmerical when he launched
it, might, after all, be put into effect
with highly advantageous results.
