NEW YORK, March Fright in the
face of all the predictions that have
been made of a big season for sports
millinery in high colors. a prominent
member of the trade voices a pre-
diction that the coming of the out
door season will bring with it the
biggest vogue for white hats that

Whether the prophecy will be fulfilled
or not. it is a fact that there is a
noticeable and growing sale of all
white hats in this market at the
present time. Also to back it up are
the reports of the popularity of white
things at the winter resorts. With

dicted. will come big demand for

CLOTHING ORDERS REVISED.

NEW YORK. March 2.-The ineNi-
table reaction to haphaZard buying is
beginning to manifest itself among
SUMMER clothing manufacturers. Cam
cellations and revisions OF orders are
growing in frequency and size as buy
ers return to their territories and view
the situation from the viewpoint of
actual demand. The craze for tweeds
in particular has brought much popu-
lar-priced merchandise on the market,
with the result that retailers catering
to an exclusive trade find themselves
without a selling point for those goods.
Manufacturers and retailers genera lily,
however, hold to- the hope that many
cancelled orders will be renewed whes

orally speaking, there are two types
in favor. One is the straight. long
shape and the other the so-called P.

acca, pimento and apple wood are
some of the woods used. Leather
loops. plain and braided, are found on
the straight canes, the handles of
which are made of leather. bakelite or
silver. The color trend is pronounced
and includes purple and bright green.
A most excellent means for. self-de
fense from attack by either man or
