THE BROAD AX Great Meeting Held at the People's Movement Club Rooms President Oscar DePriest, Presiding; Hon. George F. Harding, City Comp troller of Chicago; Hon. George W. Underwood, Col. Franklin A. Denison, Hon. Patrick H. O'Donnell, The Fighting Irish-American Lawyer of Chicago; Hon. George P. Brent, Foreman of the August Grand Jury; Hon. Edward H. Morris and Rev. A. J. Carey, Were the Leadniq Speakers VOL. XXIV President Controller of Hon. Chi Last Sunday, the People's Movement held its first regular meeting after the summer vacation, at 4:00 p.m., at its beautiful and elaborate club rooms at 3140 Indiana Ave. It was by far the largest outpouring of the people that has so far been witnessed during the life of the People's Movement, under the matchless and the far-seeing leadership of former Alderman Oscar DePriest, who is after all, a wise guy for his day and generation, and he must be given full credit for accomplishing a large amount of real good for both the colored and the white race through his People's Moment. Fully one thousand people, including men and women, crowded into the hall and many were on the outside unable to squeeze or press into it. It had been announced that Attorney Patrick H. O'Donnell would at great length set for his views on the "Causes of the Recent Race Riots" in this city, and everybody wanted to be present and drink in to the full the great treat which he held in store for them. Promptly at 4:00 p. m., President De Priest called the meeting to orders, and as he arose to speak he was loudly applauded by his great army of friends and followers. The following were seated on the platform at the opening of the meeting: Hon. George F. Harding, City Comptorler of Chicago; Hon. Oscar DePriest; Col Franklin A. Denison; Hon. George P. Brent, who was the brave and manly foreman of the August Grand Jury of Cook County; Hon. Edward H. Morris; Hon. Patrick H. O'Donnell; Rev. A. J. Carey; Hon. George W. Underwood; Hon. R. S. Abbott, member of the Illinois Race Commission; Hon. James A. Scott; Hon. F. L. Barnett; Hon. Morris Lewis; Hon. James E. White; Mr. Thomas H. Crump and Julius F. Taylor. Senator Harding was the first speaker of the evening and was warmly applauded when he exclaimed that he felt highly honored to be present; that he first wished to heartily thank President DePriest and the other officials of the People's Movement for sending him an invitation to attend the meeting; that at the very outset of his short talk, he wanted it distinctly understood that right there he was more than willing to go on public record as being one of the true and sincere friends of the colored race; that he always stood ready and willing to aid them any way he possibly could. In speaking of the race riots in this city he declared that no one deplored them to any greater extent than himself, that it was only a question of a short time until the race riots would be renewed in this city unless the law-enforcing officers sternly enforced the laws against the lawless and the criminal element in this city regardless of their race or nationality. --- Hon. George W. Underwood followed Senator Harding with a few timely remarks, which were well received by the vast audience; Col. Franklin A. Denison was the next speaker and he delivered a very impressive talk which brought forth round after round of applause, which simply proved that he is held in the highest esteem by his fellow citizens. Hon. Patrick H. O'Donnell, who is always outspoken in his friendship for the colored people was the star orator of the afternoon, and it is safe to say that no member of the opposite race in this city has the confidence of the colored people to any greater extent that Mr. O'Donnell, nor is held in any higher esteem than he is by the vast majority of the colored people throughout this city. Mr. O'Donnell eloquently orated for fully one hour and a half and at the end of that time the people wanted him to continue with his fiery presentation of his case or his indictment of his distinguished friend, Hon. Maclay Hoyne, state's attorney of Cook County, and Mr. O'Donnell went after the Hon. State's Attorney with hammer and tongs, for claiming that the colored people started and were absolutely responsible for the race riots in this city and the closing part of his masterful oration was the best and most touching that has ever fallen from the lips of any of the greatest orators of the past. Hon. George P. Brent, the extensive piano manufacturer, who was the honorable and fearless foreman of the August Grand Jury, and a member of the present Grand Jury was the next speaker, and when he arose to speak he was greeted with a rising vote of thanks on the part of the people for the manly part which he displayed in his sharp tilts and almost hand to hand fights with the Hon. State's Attorney. It is almost useless to state that the remarks of Mr. Brent were eagerly drank in by the people and he raised himself very high in the estimation of those who sat within sound of his voice. Hon. Edward H. Morris and Rev. A. J. Carey were the two last speakers and both of them delivered telling speeches which caught the people: HON. JAMES A. SCOTT READ THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS WHICH WERE ADOPTED BY A STANDING VOTE: WHEREAS, the State's Attorney of Cook County, Maclay Hoyne, has in the public press charged that the cause of the race riots was the crimi- nality of Chicago produced by the lawlessness of the Negro Race that has been protected in its crime by the City Hall, Republican Judges and White and Black politicians in the black belt; and CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 3140 Indiana Avenue [Name] WHEREAS, during the last seven years, there has been in Chicago thoroughly organized groups of criminals known as:— (1) "Clairvoyant Trust" for defrauding the public by means of alleged fortune telling; (2) "Wire Tapping Trust" organized for defrauding by means of false reports on horse races; (3) "Burglary Trust" organized for burglary and disposing of stolen property; (4) "Daylight Bank Robbery Trust" organized for robbing banks in Chicago and vicinity at the rate of about one per week; (5) "Con Game Trust" organized by men with swindling machines purporting to make money and with fraudulent foot races to swindle the gullible out of vast sum of money; (6) "Pick Pocket Trust" composed of one expert pick pocket and a large organization, 90 per cent of which live in a single ward; (7) "Receivers' Trust" organized to take or dispose of the property stolen by burglary, larceny and robbery; (8) "Perjury Trust" consisting of criminals exchanging their testimony for immunity; (9) "Arson Trust" composed of a group of torches, criminals adjusters and criminal property owners burning property for the amount of the insurance. (10) "Automobile Trust" consisting of an organization of automobile thieves for the purpose of stealing, altering and reselling stolen automobiles: AND WHEREAS, in the operation of all these huge organizations of criminality a huge has not been identified with any of them and they have all been conducted, operated and promoted without the aid, assistance or co-operation of the black race; and WHEREAS, these organizations are increasing in power, number and criminality in the administration of the present State's Attorney; and WHEREAS, the charges against the black race made by Maclay Hoyne are wholly unwarranted by the facts, and place them in a false light before the public and leave their defense prejudiced and well-night impossible. THEN, BE IT RESOLVED that we brand the aforesaid false, damaging and injurious charges as a shield and protection to the criminal classes who have thereby the public attention turned from them in their crime to the black race who are not participants with them; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we deplore the attack made upon Chicago's judiciary and resent the claims that they are protecting the Negroes, when no Negroes are brought before them for trial out of the groups of criminals above named; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this Resolution be communicated to the judiciary and other public officials of Chicago and Cook County. All in all it was one of the greatest meetings held in this city for many years. PRESIDENT JERNAGIN AND BISHOP ROSS EXTEND WELCOME IN NAME OF 12,000,000 NEGRO AMERICANS—UNITED STATES PROTECTORATE WANTED FOR GERMAN-AFRICAN COLONIES. National Race Congress Greets Liberia's President-Elect (Special to THE BROAD AX) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Wednesday afternoon a delegation representing the National Race Congress of America was cordially received at the Hotel Lafayette by President-elect C. D. B. King, of the Republic of Liberia, who is here on a special government mission and for observation and recuperation, following a long period of diplomatic service in Paris at the Peace Conference. The visiting party was made up of: Rev. W. H. Jernigan, president of the National Race Congress; Bishop I. N. Ross, of the A. M. E. Church; Rev. J. Milton Waldon, Rev. H. J. Callis, Rev. W. J. Howard, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. W. A. Taylor, Prof John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the Emergency Defense Fund of the Congress; Rev. J. H. Randolph, Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, J. Finlay Wilson and R. W. Thompson. Each was introduced to Mr. King by Dr. Jernigan. visitors for their assurances of sympathetic interest. He was gratified to note that all America seemed to be awakened to the vast possibilities bound up in the future of Liberia. This new and forward-looking country, keenly alive to the value of every type of education and equipment, extends a welcome to enterprising young men who possess qualities for leadership and to others who are masters of the technical and scientific arts. Following the speaking the entire party was photographed on the hotel lawn by A. N. Sourlock. President-elect King has been received at the White House and has been highly honored by many representative colored citizens here. He will be one of the principal speakers at the "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress, which will open in this city October 7th, with delegates from every state in the Union and with commission to voice the sentiments of the Negro people in every land. An address welcoming the President-elect to this country in the name of the National Congress of America and on behalf of the 12,000,000 colored citizens of the American Republic, was delivered by Bishop Ross, who was followed in a similar vein by Dr. Waldron, Dr. Brooks, Dr. Callis and Prof. Hawkins. They pledged the support of the colored people of the land to any plan that might be devised looking to the uplift and development of their "Sister Republic" in far-off Africa, regarding Liberia as the "open door, through which the New World may enter the inner life of the "Dark Continent" and bring the leaven of a higher civilization. They were proud of Liberia's wonderful progress as a recognized government, and "loved it next to our own country, because of its oneness with them in blood, religion and language." President-elect King, of pleasing personality and modest dignity, responded greciously and thanked the KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR ENEMIES! We are to mark the men in authority whenever they prove that they are serving themselves and not the state. Officials, who by every act or word run counter to the hopes and aims of law abiding citizens are to go down in defeat whenever they show their irreverent political heads for office. We've got to vote them into innocuous desuetude at every opportunity, and we must not lose sight of the good friends of great hearts who are volunteering in great numbers to help us fight out battles. If the biggest official of Illinois is against our progress and our best interests let every man of Negro blood mark him for political slaughter, his time may be now, but our time is after while.

American Protectorate Wanted for German-African Colonies President Jeremiah, of the Race Congress, recently appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and made a most eloquent and effective plea for justice for all the darker peoples of the world and emphasized the importance of having an American protectorate established over the African colonies wrested from the tyranny of the German Empire. His speech was a "keynote." This, and other problems of vital concern to the Negro will be fully discussed at the coming meeting of the National Race Congress of America, set for October 7 to 11, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Liberal contributions are being received from many sources for the $250,000 Emergency Defense Fund, in charge of Prof. John R. Hawkins, designed to protect the welfare of the race where ever such protection is urgently needed. THE NEGRO STAR OF WICHITA, KAN., AND THE STATE REGISTER, HANNIBAL, MO., BOTH QUOTE FROM PAGE ARTICLES FROM THE BROAD AX. Our article which appeared in these columns, August 23, on "Social Equality" and the "Social Equality BugBear", has been extensively read throughout the West; for it was reproduced in full on the front page of the Negro Star of Wichita, Kansas, September 6. It shows that at least it possessed some merit and that it was worth reading. The State Register of Hannibal, Mo., August 30, reproduced Charles E. Stump's article on Doctor R. R. Moton, which appeared in these columns August 23.

Entered as Second-Class Matter, Aug. 19, 1902, at the Post Office at Chi- cago, Ill, Under Act of March 8, 1879 ———— THE FLIVVER AND THE FLY ‘The automobile is a factor in com- munity health and sanitation. True, it is noisy and at times belches out fumes and odors which are any- thing but pleasant or agreeable. But properly handled the auto, from a health standpoint, is » factor of safe- ty. Why? “Flivvers” do not breed flies. An alley fringed with » row of garages, once private barns hous- ing the reliable family horse, or the more aristocratic carriage and pair, is no longer breeding flies by count- less millions. The old familiar and omnipresent manure box has practically vanished from sizht, even where barns and stables still exist. And as each man- ure box was an ideal breeding place for the dirty, dangerous house fly, the most exclusive resident distriets of the city were by no means exempt from these nasty little pests. “The horse i= a noble animal and has performed and is, still performing wonderful service for man. But when it comes to fly production, any old family horse can be the direct means of producing more flies in thirty days ‘than all the automobiles in the State of Ilinois could produce in a hundred years When Mr. Jones’ auto bumps and seriously injures a foot passenger on the street, both the owner and the machine come in for a good hard euss- ing from everybody. But when the same Mr. Jones kept pair of horses in what is now his garage and the fies bred in the piles of stable manure which his horses produced, started an epidemic of typhoid fever in his lo- cality; or killed a few of his neigh- bor’s babies with dysentery; no one dammed either Mr. Jones or his dis- ease breeding flies. You see, the peo- ple of those days did not see the eon- nection between the alley manure pile and the sick baby only a block away. Of course, with the light we now have, even with horses in as general use as they were before Mr. Ford flooded the town with his flvers, peo- ple wouldn't stand for open manure boxes. Still, we must hand it te the auto as an agency that contributes to community cleanliness; besides, as & medium for rapid transportation for private use, it has the good old family horse faded into the dim and imper- ceptible distance. There is also another health side to the automobile—the big, outdoor, fresh air and sunshine side. But those who have automobiles know all about this, And as nearly eversbedy. has ‘an auto of some kind or caer aes is no use of discussing the matter where there are so fex people who ‘would be interested. Moral: A gasoline tank in yard is better than ti oper amore box im the alley.

All branches of the National Equal Rights League are entitled to repre- ‘sentation by as many delegates as they may desire to send; all formes members of the League, or former members of any branch thereof, and all other organizations or race bodies, religious, fraternal or civic adopting the principles of the league may be- come voting members of the conven. tion by offering proof to the creden- tials committee, by means of creden- tials or otherwise, establishing this fact and by payment of the registra- tion fee of one dollar for each dele- gate. It is vitally important that Colored Americans get together as speedily as possible. It is equally important that said getting together should be under the direct auspices of the great Na- tional Equal Rights League, the one race organization that was foremost in getting the cause of the oppressed Colored American clearly presented to the World Peace Conference. Let all organizations become affiliated as above provided. William Monroe Trotter.

Monroe Trotter and he is in the fore front of the race's great organization. The recent World War, the Colored America’s part in that war, together with some recent race conflicts in this country since the war, have combined and, as it were, have “shot” the race question to the very front in the thought and life of our great country. And now, as never before, is the most opportune time for Colored Americans to come together under their own ap- pointed leaders, and by united effort, keep our cause to the front until we shall have made America a safe place for us to live in.

A coroner's jury had decided Pow- ers was the aggressor and orderei William Henderson, 4017 South Wa- bash Ave. and Henry Renfree, 821! Vernon Ave., Negroes, released. Soon afterward Lieut. John Norton and several detectives heard Tate knew about the killing and arrested him. He confessed to Assitant State's Attorney Thomas E. Reilly and Mar- vin Wison, an investigator. “Henderson and I were together at Koot street and Emerald avenue the morn nj: of July 29 when three whit nen across the street started toward us,” he said. “One went back to the curb while the other two advanced. Then one fled. The other man struck me and knocked me down. I go up and stabbed him, then ran.” At the time of the murder Tate wore a mustache, but since had shav- ed it off to make his identification harder, he said. Tate is being held. THANSFER NEGRO POLICE BECAUSE OF RACE FEELING Further friction between white and colored policemen of the Fiftieth St. police station caused the transfer of three colored patrolmen: William P. McCall, Charles R. Rowell, and Waldo |L.

After the hearing the men were put to work, as they were needed help quell the race riots. The case lis still under advisement. Subsequent- ly the board made an investigation found that the race feeling was strong in the station. The trans- fer order was the result.

The trimmed brim is used in many ways, as we shall see as the season advances. Single flowers of velvet are being used in flat masses around the wide brims which turn up and away from the face saucer fashion. These hats are not so elaborate and dressy as the picture hats of velvet and paradise, but they are suitable TRIMMED BRIM IS CERTAIN Will Be Used in Many Ways, Most of Them Charming—High Draped Crowns Sure to Be Another Feature. While it seems somewhat early in the season to speak with finality of the fall and winter hats, enough new shapes have been displayed to give us some inkling of what is to come, writes Martha Goode Anderson in the New York Sun. For several weeks now we have seen a sweeping rage of the felt hats with wide brims and exploited in the palest pastel shades and ornamented with bright and gay wool stitchery. As this wool stitchery is to be so much in evidence throughout the winter not only on hats but on coats, dresses and blouses, it is just as well to consider it seriously and recognize the demand, for it is one of the established facts in winter's coming fashions. The felt hats of which I am speaking have been used primarily for sport hats with pale-colored sweaters and bright-hued skirts and blouses. We cannot complain of the lack of color during this summer, for as a sort of reaction from the dull and somber hues of the war period our clothes have caught and reflected the most radiant tones of the rainbow and every group has been resplendent in its vivid colors. The First Showing Always at the beginning of every season it seems as if the first showing of millinery included only the wide brimmed and large hats. This is inevitably so for the spring and summer, as we find ourselves preparing for the hot days when the sun is blinding and we need some sort of protection for eyes and skin. Just why it should be for fall and winter, however, I do not know unless the idea is to display first the dressy hat, as most women go on the principle that having invested in a smart and very good hat almost anything will do for every day. I do not present this idea as conclusive by any means, but it may be one of the reasons why we are shown so few of the small and simple everyday sort of hat and most of the newest shapes are of the splendid velvet picture hats. Paradise feathers are predominating as trimming. They sweep down, but not up as heretofore, and thick sprays are used more than the single feathers we have seen so much of in recent times. Black paradise is really lovely and so expensive that it need not be disdained by even the most exacting and conservative. One of the newest shapes which is neither large nor small in size is the round turban with the draped and heavy brim. This is not an easy shape to wear, as it is apt to look very heavy so close to the face. However, it is really very splendid, for it is developed in the rarest and richest of broaches, heavily embroidered in gold and silver and resplendent in a mingling of colors entrancing to see. The crowns of these wide draped turbans are of velvet or duvetyn as the case may be and are entirely untrimmed, as the present indication in the matter of trimming is seen in the draping of the brim. Where feathers are used they sweep down close to the face, even resting almost under the chin in a soft curve. This way of placing the paradise is an old, old one, borrowed, doubtless, from portraits of great ladies of some hundred or more years ago. It is in distinct contrast to the upstanding and jaunty agleste which showed in a little fountain of fronds high in the air so much used formerly. Trimmed Brims The trimmed brim is used in many ways, as we shall see as the season advances. Single flowers of velvet are being used in flat masses around the wide brims which turn up and away from the face saucer fashion. These hats are not so elaborate and dress as the picture hats of velvet and paradise, but they are suitable for morning wear and make a trim finish for the shopping dress worn with smart vells and furs. One of the simplest is exploited in a midnight-blue velvet in the saucer shape with upturned brim. Around the crown is placed a circle of loops made of heaviest blue silk floss in a lighter shade. These loops are used to imitate ostrich fronds, which are also much in evidence as a winter trimming. At one side of this model is placed a large rosette of the loops of the silk floss and an edge of the same finishes the brim around the face. Another treatment of this upturned brim is seen in the wide sailor shape which has a faring brim across the front of the hat, giving something of a three-cornered effect seen from the front. This is particularly suited to young faces and youthful types. The faring brim is often thickly studded with tiny steel beads or dotted with knots of silk in the kind we call French knots, meaning a tiny dot of the silken thread made by wrapping it twice around the needle and pulling through to the under side. The effect is that of silken beads. As this is often done in contrasting colors it makes a most effective trimming. Because of the great demand for hats of soft materials, such as duvetyn and velours and velvet, and because of the increasing cost of these soft and beautiful fabrics, the price is continually mounting, especially as so much of the trimming used this year is done by hand and is really hand embroidery. One of the favorite effects is seen in the use of simple blossoms, such as nasturtiums, single petaled roses and kindred blooms done in outline around crown and brim. These are extremely simple to make, so that we shall have a fad of homemade hats, doubtless, as almost anyone can embroider in the simple and quickly made outline stitch. High Draped Crowns The high draped crowns are again seen. Sometimes they point up almost a foot above the brim and are draped in a series of folds which keeps them from being awkward and very ugly, as they so easily could be. Of course the brims which accompany these high draped crowns must be wide enough to set them off successfully and prevent a topheavy look. Among the new trimmings are seen much glycerined ostrich feather banding. This sort of treatment of the feathers makes them shiny and glossy. The fronds are placed singly along a narrow band to hold them and are used thus against the brim in a width sufficient to entirely cover the brim and extend slightly beyond. They are used effectively on a rather wide hat of rose-colored velvet of which the crown is of the high draped design thickly brocaded in silver. The feather band lies flat over the brim and a narrow strip of silver ribbon encircles the crown where the feathers and the brocade come together. A new shade is called nasturtium yellow and is as vivid as it can possibly be and very smart when made up in an untrimmed velvet hat rolling as to brim and crown too. These untrimmed hats are quite new, as they have an air entirely all their own and seem to be most elaborate when absolutely untrimmed. This effect is achieved by a clever draping of the velvet, as in one instance the velvet is so arranged that it seems to make a fold over the crown and is folded in over the brim in a double effect which is different from more ordinary arrangements. Pale yellow is cool and becoming for a summer frock. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 IN DAINTY COLOR Little Things That Add So Much to Effectiveness. Costumes Cannot Be Considered Complete Without Smart Accessories to Set Them Off. The charm of many frocks is emphasized by the smart accessories that accompany them. Dresses of simple design are stamped exclusive by a novelty color, or perhaps a gay girdle offers itself for smart trimming. Frocks this season have a clever way of opening over dalty tucked vests and lace waistcoats to show their ruffled faces to the world. Striking sashes are featured, and there is a bright allied girdle that forms a distinctive accompaniment to a white linen frock. It is of corded silk, six inches wide and striped with the allied colors artistically blended. Heavy red or blue silk tassels terminate this stunning sash. Crisp organdie in delicate or pastel tints lends colorful beauty to many a simple dress. At present there is a vogue for plain white organdie sashes that suggest the quaint charm of the Dutch peasant's costume. These white sashes are usually part of a set consisting of dainty collar and cuffs hemstitched with a half-inch border. They are unusually effective on checked or striped voile or fine gingham gowns. A new note might be introduced in an old frock by an organdie sash of contrasting color, such as jade green with a white frock or sea-shell pink organdie expressing exquisite daintiness on a frock of pale ciel mull. The sense of being fashionably and tastefully attired comes with wearing an embroidered satin sash on an afternoon gown of soft mulberry georgette. A splash of gay worsted embroidery in a conventional flower design traced itself over the center of the satin sash and crude wooden beads in bright colors weighed the ends. For the matron with the black net gown there is a heavy jet rope girdle that glitters and twinkles delightfully when colled about the hips. Wonderfully exquisite are the new sashes that the younger set have adopted for evening and dance wear. The finest of the metal brocaded ribbons are traced with gold and silver thread on delicate backgrounds of orchid, lettuce green, peach, apricot, lemon, flesh and sky blue. The broad ribbon is drawn about the waist in a crushed girdle and allowed to fall in a graceful panel at the back. Soft silk fringe in a harmonizing tone borders the bottom. A lace frock or a lovely taffeta or georgette dance frock would be popular at the many social affairs, if favored with one of these exquisitely dainty panel sashes. USE FOR OLD HAIR RIBBON When Freshness is Lost It Can Be Made Serviceable as Covering for Coat Hanger. When the freshness of the hair ribbons has vanished so that it is quite impossible to make them stand up properly on the child's head, they may be used to good advantage for covering coat hangers of the ordinary wire or wooden variety. The ribbons should be dipped in gasoline, rubbed with clean, soft cloths until perfectly clean, and then pressed with a warm iron on the wrong side. The hangers should be padded, first, with a soft foundation material, and it will be found that the hair ribbons of usual width will nicely to cover them. Little sachet bags, attached on baby ribbons, make a dainty finishing touch to the hangers. CHIC FOR FALL WEAR LAURENCE DETROIT & CO.

NECKWEAR IN GREAT VARIETY All Kinds of Frills and Laces in Vogue, Many of Them Extremely Expensive. Dame fashion fairly runs riot in frills and laces this year, after her stern self-denial during war time; and she has concentrated her fancy for frilly and lacy things upon neckwear. Never have neckwear counters been so irresistible as now. You approach one with the intention of buying a new necklet for 50 cents or so—and come away with several enchanting collar and cuff sets, a simply not-to-be-resisted walstcoat and ten yards of fluffy ruffling in various widths for the beautifying of summer frocks. Beware of the neckwear counter, this season, if you have sternly determined not to spend an extra cent for fripperies. Of course, neckwear is a friperpy—any woman will admit that, but no other friperpy in dress counts for so much in smartness and daintiness. Considerable style may be given to the simplest little dress, as every woman well knows, by a very good looking collar-and-cuff set, and very often the accessories cost more than the whole frock. For neckwear is by no means cheap this season. Indeed some of it—the very prettiest and most tempting things—are appallingly expensive. One must pay for dalty little real lace edgings and insertions, and hand embroideries on filmy fabric, and finely run shirrings in net. These things are bound to be more expensive than plaque or cotton garbeline collar and cuff sets finished with a simple row of machine stitching. But how much lovelier are the filmy, frilly neck-fixings? No woman cannot resist them! There is one joy about it—many of these enticing things can be manufactured at home if one has patience and exquisite skill with the needle. It will take time to fashion a fuchu, all tiny hand-tucks and rows of shirred puffing and narrow lace, and when you have finished your labor you will understand why these pretty trifles cost such discouraging sums at the neckwear counter. It is not the material involved, it is labor. Yet the material has something to do with it too. Women are much more fastidious about fineness of materials than they used to be. The woman who used to be quite well satisfied with a 50-cent collar and cuff set of white lawn trimmed with imitation Val lace, now picks out a set of filmy handkerchief linen garnished with hand-made flet or Irish crochet—and is willing to pay the price for it. PLAIN LINEN SUITS POPULAR Generally Seen in combination With Coats That Are Plainly Tailored and Rather Short. Plain linen suits, with coats a trifle longer than the regulation three-quarter length and skirts plainly tailored and rather short, are quite the vogue, with all white in the lead. The long lapels, with one large pearl button at the end, are the only fastening and only trimming. Black patent leather and black satin slippers, pump style, equaling white kid pumps in popularity, are worn with these suits. Many wear the stiff-brim, regulation sailor hat, a few the black ribbon hats, to go with these suits. Some of the sweaters that are knitted loosely have the full ruffle that begins at the waist and extends below the hips, and these ruffles resemble the rainbow, the colors are so varied. This is quite a new idea noted recently. These loosely knitted sweaters are well liked now and the pastel shades are adding colors, with all white. Usually narrow pictured ribbon is used around the waist, and occasionally a narrow white kid belt is worn. Sport sleeveless jackets are made in various materials. Baronette satin, georgette crepe, fan-ta-si, panne velvet and pongee are being much worn lately. These usually are without any trimming, and are cut severely plain, only the velvet ones having braid as a finish. They are all about the same length of the regulation sweater. FOR AUTUMN WEAR Parisian Design That Is Smart and Original. Navy Blue Best Color That Could Be Employed for Such a Costume—Smart Velvet Touque. It is an accepted fact that the more exclusive society leaders purchase their autumn and winter trousseaux at Biarritz at the end of the summer season. Novelties are shown there, just as they are shown at Monte Carlo in early spring. It is "the thing" to buy dresses, mantles, and hats at Biarritz because "everyone does it." This year the Biarritz dress artists, such as Paquin, Callot, Redfern, Larue and so on, are showing some really startling models, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. The barrel outline is very much in evidence; and as to flounced skirts they may be said to be ubiquitous. I am very much afraid that the barrel outline has cane with intention of staying. It is not really pretty, neither is it becoming to the average woman, but certainly it is unusual. Many of the more eccentric autumn models are frankly stiffened; nearly all are piped with strong horse hair to give the desired stick-out effect. The latter method applies especially to tunic-coats and tunic-blouses. Take for example the Paquin model sketched. Here you have a really beautiful autumn costume which is smart and original without being eccentric. The material was navy blue poult de sole and navy serge, the silken material forming a pannier-coat which was cleverly stiffened at the hem. This coat ran into a long, wholly unexpected peak at the back and on the collar there was an immense silk tassel, the same color as the dress. A Pannier Coat in Thick Navy Blue Poilt de Soie, Over Plaisted Serge Skirt. The serge skirt was finely plaited and moderately short and the coat opened over a beautiful waistcoat made of white glove kid and delicately embroidered in tiny jet beads. The sleeves of the coat were short, and the idea was that very long black kid gloves, mousquetaire in style, were to be worn. This costume would look well if copied in serge throughout, the coat lined with silk or brocade, and the turn-over collar in dull black satin. On the whole dress might be made of black satin, to be worn under a loose cape-wrap of duvetex or velvet. Please take special notice of the big velvet toque shown in this sketch. This is one of the latest models from the Maison Lewis of Blairrits, and it represents the toque of tomorrow. All the best Paris milliners are making large and very full toques, either in velvet or in tulle, with an effective touch of short-haired fur on the crown. FOR LINEN CUSHION COVER Embroidery of White *Wash Silk* or *Flax Thread* is Pretty—For Color Effects. A linen-cushion cover may be quickly embroidered in white wash silk or flax thread with insertion of cluny lace. Should a touch of color be desired, the cover might be drawn over a colored cushion which would show through the lace. Allow a frill at each end and line this with the same color as the cushion. Tie with a colored cord. Have a strong color effect is desired, the cover might be of cornflower linen with nut-brown alikes for embroidery, the cluny lace being a deep tone of twine color. Another finish for an edge is a band of its own material cut on the blas. Place a thick sheet of cotton wadding under the cover which you have embroidered. Both the appearance and the feeling of the cushion are improved by this addition. CUPBOARD FROM WOODEN BOX Useful Little Receptacle That Will Not Cost Much to Make and Is Extremely Handy. A small hanging cupboard is always useful in bedroom and a convenience in many other parts of a house. A handy little cupboard can be easily made with any well-made wooden box of a suitable size and shape. The lid of the box forms the door of the cupboard, and to enable it to be open, and closed easily, a little brass handle of the nature shown in sketch B should be screwed on in front, and it may be purchased at any hardware store for a trifle. For suspending the box from nails in the wall, two small circular holes B A A Hanging Cupboard. are cut in the bottom, in the positions indicated by the crosses in sketch A. The exterior of the cupboard sketched is covered with a pretty striped cretonne, and this can be easily done by turning the material over at the edges and fastening it on, just inside, at the back and underneath the box with tacks. The interior is lined with pieces of brown paper, cut to fit and pasted in place. In these days a small hanging cupboard of any kind costs a good deal to buy, and the article illustrated can be prepared at home at a very slight cost, and covering the wood with cretonne will be found quite easy. HATS MAY BE MADE AT HOME Touches of Hand Embroidery Are to Be Seen on Much of the Fall Millinery. A continued vogue for the narrow back hat is promised for the coming season and already the shops are showing advance fall and winter models in poke shape or glorified narrow back sallons. Manufacturing milliners made a rather earnest effort some months ago to discourage the midummer wearing of velvet hats, but the shops seemed to demand them and these heavy, warm looking bits of headdress put in their appearance quite early, as usual, although not in quite as generous numbers as heretofore. Among the new materials being strongly featured for autumn hats, a very soft velvety finished wool material probably leads and some decidedly chic sports hats are made of suede. Brocaded and plain veets enter into the development of hats for autumn and winter. These fabrics are often handsomely embroidered in chenille or heavy wool, this embroidery being the only trimming employed. Certainly this is the day when the home milliner is encouraged to try her hand, and there is no reason why she should not have splendid results. FLIMSY STOCKINGS OR NONE? Opinion of French Leaders of Fashion Seems to Be Divided on the Subject. There is at present waging a very interesting controversy in the minds of those who deal in footwear for American women. It is all about the new fashion in Paris of wearing laced slippers, which sometimes are no more than heeled sandals—with or without stockings. In Paris these slippers are quite the expected thing. Everybody wears them. That is, everybody wears a slipper that is laced over the instep and about the ankle. Some of the French women, of course, wear sandals, and most of them wear stockings. It is perfectly true that stockings are sometimes dispensed with and very elaborately jeweled sandals are fashioned to wear with bare feet. But for the most part stockings are worn, albeit they are of the filmsiest texture and are often flesh-colored, so that their presence is not noticeable. They are then but a slight barrier interposed between the world and the bare, bare skin. All sorts of things are done to keep those new, filmy stockings from oblivion. MODISH NOTES. Browns are the first choice among colors for fall. Tailored blouses for fall are made of heavy satin. Blouse coats are really becoming only to small women. Always use a narrow leather belt with your linen frock. Some coats have a panel back longer than the sides. Gulps with square Dutch necks are conspicuous.
