The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX One Colored Race Commissioner of Illinois Contends That the Herald Examiner and the Daily News of August the 1st, 1919, deliberately and willfully misquoted Governor Frank O. Lowden in relation to his views on "Jim Crowism" and Segregation for the Colored People in this City and throughout the State of Illinois IF THE DAILY NEWS MALICIOUSLY MISQUOTED GOVERNOR LOWDEN, IN THAT RESPECT, IN ORDER TO PLACE HIM IN A FALSE LIGHT OR POSITION IN THE ESTIMATION OF THE COLORED PEOPLE, THEN WHY DID THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THIS STATE SELECT HON. VICTOR LAWSON ONE OF HIS RACE COMMISSIONERS? VOL. XXV One That the H delib in IF THE DAILY NEWS MALICIO LOWDEN, IN THAT RESPEC A FALSE LIGHT OR POSITI COLORED PEOPLE, THEN V OF THIS STATE SELECT HIS RACE COMMISSIONERS The Colored people residing in this city and throughout the state of Illinois are still up in arms against the Hon. Frank O. Lowden and his Race Commission, which in the humble opinion of the great majority of the thoughtful Colored people cannot accomplish anything for the lasting benefit of the Colored people, except to ham-string the Colored people and at all times to make or cause them to feel that in some way or other that they are not in fact a part and parcel of the true citizenship of Illinois, and many Colored people honestly feel that an effort will be put forth by some of the members of the Race Commission to forever brand the Colored people in this city and state as members of an inferior race, who should not attempt to grasp nor to reach out after all the blessings of American citizenship, like unto the members of other races who flock to these shores from the Old World. One of the Colored Race Commissioners who is putting in all of his time in an effort to defend Governor Lowden from the bitter protest and from the inevitable political storm that is bound to overtake him on the part of the Colored people, in order to save himself from a very hard jolt or fall, contends that the Chicago Herald-Examiner and the Daily News misquoted the Hon. Frank O. Lowden in their issues of August 1, 1919, in the following interview in relation to his views on "Jim Crowism" and segregation for the Colored race in this city and throughout the state of Illinois. The interview which appeared in those two newspapers at that time and date follows: LOWDEN PLANS ADJUSTMENT OF RACE ISSUE A commission representing the real leadership of the colored and white races in Illinois is to be appointed shortly by Governor Lowden to try to work out a basis upon which the two races can live in harmony in the state. The Governor made this announcement today just before he went into conference at the Blackstone Hotel with former President William Howard Taft. "In an interview the Governor outlined a plan for a commission of four or five colored leaders, not politicians, and a similar number of whites, to work out the basis of a settlement of the problem. He believes that the settlement will be found in a better understanding among the people rather than in legislation. "I want to have a commission," said the Governor, "composed of four or five representative colored men—men who have had nothing to do with politics but who have the confi- --- dence of all of the colored people—and an equal number of white men of the same caliber. They would be men who could, through the creation of public sentiment, create among their people an understanding that would soften the feeling between the races. Would Have Agreed Areas. "There would be a tacit understanding that the colored race should occupy certain areas for residences, certain beaches and parks for amusement, and so on. By the same understanding certain similar areas and facilities would be reserved for the white race. "I believe it would be possible to create a commission that could solve the problems by means not authorized by law. When a colored man violated the understanding between the races by invading places reserved for the whites, he would lose caste with his own people; similarly with whites who invaded the colored men's precincts. "I am confident this is a plausible plan and that the idea, once started, would expand into an organization that would remove the hate which is at the bottom of this trouble." Housing Chief Problem. The Governor added, however, that such a commission could not solve the problem of adequate housing for the population of Chicago, and urged that the Mayor take action to create a body to tackle that problem. The Governor is favorably impressed by reports of a similar plan worked out in Atlanta after race strife in 1906. He has written to Atlanta asking for a copy of the report of the commission which investigated that situation. Governor Lowden did not wait for the riot to attack the problem. Although a bill providing for the creation of a commission to study the problem was defeated in the last legislature, he has been busy. Prof. Francis W. Shepardson, superintendent of the department of registration and education, has been conferring with leaders and investigating the subject, and he probably will have an important connection with the commission to be named by the Governor. Now, let us be absolutely honest with ourselves and at the same time be fair—therefore, if it is true that the Daily News and the Herald-Examiner just on their own account fixed up the above interview and put the words into the mouth of Governor Lowden regardless of the fact whether he had uttered them or not and deliberately and wilfully misquoted and misrepresented him, in order to place him in a false light or position in the es- CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1919 101 Judge of the Probate Court and Judge of the County Court pro tem, who will serve in the latter capacity without any compensation, which will mean a saving of ten thousand dollars per year to the taxpayers of Cook County. timation of the Colored people, then why did he not demand a retraction, and in view of that fact, why did he select Hon. Victor Lawson, the owner and the leading editor of the Daily News, as one of his Race Commissioners? Mr. Colored Race Commissioner, we pause for a reply! If anyone, absolutely sane can figure out just how one person can be elected to the Legislature of this state and is a member of it at the present time and that another person can be nominated for delegate to the Constitutional convention and still be free from politics, they can beat out time. We hope that the Colored Race Commissionmissioner and the other Colored followers of Governor Lowden will not all attempt to speak nor shout amen at the same time. THE RACE COMMISSION THE APPEAL still contends that there is no reason for the existence of the "race commission" appointed by Goorner Lowden of Illinois. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided by a unanimous vote that segregation is unlawful, so there is nothing to arbitrate. The editor has talked with several prominent Illinois men this week and the consensus of opinion among them HON. HENRY HORNER the Probate Court and Judge of the serve in the latter capacity without a saving of ten thousand dollars per County. is that the whole thing is a political scheme of Governor Lowden, who is a prospective candidate for president on the Republican ticket in 1920. These men say that since he has been governor of Illinois, Lowden has developed a great prejudice against the colored people. He has taken "jimcrow" colored men into his confidence and his present plan is to get the colored people to consent to their own civil degradation. These Illinois men say that the commission is "packed." The majority of the white men on the same are enemies of the colored people, and the majority of th colored men jimcrowists, that is, men willing to make concessions in their civil rights. THE APPEAL editor has been well acquainted with Edward H. Morris, Chicago's famous lawyer, who is one of the commission and can vouch for him as a man who will not concede anything fundamental. He will fight any attempt at segregation to the last ditch: THE APPEAL is only slightly acquainted with four of the other colored men. One man he has never met. He has often heard three of the colored men described as jimcrow men of the deepest dye. It is said that segregation propositions will be offered by the white members. If such propositions are offered the colored men should stand as a unit against them no matter how trivial they may seem. They must not yield a single point on any question involving segregation of any kind. From The Appeal, St. Paul, Minn., September 13, 1919. WILLIAM F. HARRAH, SERGEANT AT ARMS OF THE CITY COUN- CIL HAD CHARGE OF THE AL- DERMEN ATTENDING THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE THOMAS F. SCULLY. The late Judge Thomas F. Scully, was at one time a member of the City Council, from the tenth ward, and the present city fathers felt that it was no more than their duty to attend his funeral in a body and William F. Harrah, the ever-obliging Sergeant-at-Arms of the city council, had entire charge of the city fathers and prevented them from straying too far away from the main streets on the North West Side and run the risk of getting lost. Rev. G. H. McDaniel, president of Enterprise Institute, 3800 Vincennes Ave., is touring the east. Rev. McDaniel attended the National Baptist Convention, uninc., at Norfolk, Va., last week. BETWEEN TEN AND TWELVE THOUSAND PEOPLE, MANY OF THEM BEING PROMINENT IN THE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL WORLD ATENDED THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE JUDGE THOMAS F. SCULLY. As the Casket Containing His Remains Was Borne From His Late Home, 4444 North Campbell Avenue To the Hearse the Chicago Marine Band Played "Nearer My God To Thee", At the Same Time Hundreds and Hundreds of Policemen Stood At Attention, And Thousands and Thousands of His Warm Friends Stood With Uncovered Heads Out of Respect To His Memory. (Bird's Eve View of the Funeral. By Julius F. Taylor.) Funeral services were held over the remains of the late Judge Thomas F. Scully, from his late home, 4444 North Campbell avenue, Monday morning, and to say the least, it was one of the largest and most democratic funerals held in this city for many years, for some of the wealthiest and most prominent business and professional men, and thousands of men in the more humbler walks of life, including many Colored men who knew Judge Scully well in this life and knew him to be one of the best and most outspoken friends of the Colored race in this city, all mingled together on the same plane or level, and there seemed to be but one thought in the minds of the ten to twelve thousand people who endeavored to get near his home, and only one expression on their lips, "that he was one of the best citizens of Chicago and one of the most tender-hearted and humane judges in Cook county; that it was sad indeed to think that he had been called away from his loved ones, and from his troops of warm and steadfast friends long before he had time to round out his useful career here on this earth." Bright and early on that morning, the writer started for his funeral, but just before doing so, our good wife, Mrs. Taylor gathered a beautiful bouquet of snow white flowers from the flower garden of our humble little home, and with much pride we very carefully carried it along and presented it to the bereaved and sorrowing family, as a slight token of our respect and friendship for Judge Scully. The two front parlors of his late home were, with the exception of the space occupied by the casket near one of the front windows, completely filled with rare and very expensive floral designs which had found "their way into his home from some of his many friends. It was one of the finest floral offerings that we have beheld anywhere in many a day, and it simply showed that he was held in the highest esteem by all classes of his fellow citizens.

James Hamilton Lewis and a long line of distinguished citizens viewed the remains, which were natural and very life-like. Shortly before 10 o'clock Rev. Father O'Brien, pastor of the Queen of the Angels Roman Catholic church, conducted short services in the home for the family and a few friends, and as he uttered his last words of comfort to them in the home, the lid on the beautiful casket was closed down and the following active pallbearers Dennis J. Egan, James F. Sullivan, Joseph P. Rafferty, William A. Cunnea, James McNiehols, Charles J. Byrnes, Thomas J. Condon, and L. F. Cunniff started on their sad mission down the stairs with it, and as they neared the street with it hundreds of policemen and firemen stood at attention while the Chicago Marine Band slowly played "Nearer My God To Thee," and fully ten thousand people stood with uncovered bowed heads while the casket was being placed in the hearse, out of respect to the memory of Judge Scully. The funeral procession was extremely long, for the head of it had reached the church before the rear end of it had fairly started from the house. Hon. S. B. Turner, member of the Legislature of Illinois and the writer walked side by side in it. There was more than one hundred automobiles in it, the highest judges and everybody else felt proud to march or walk in it. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity and thousands of people stood around on the outside of it until after the services. Rev. Father O'Brien celebrated High Mass; Rev. Father Edward A. Kelly, the sainted pastor of St. Anne's church, 55th street and Wentworth avenue, and fifty other priests were in attendance. Rev. Francis X.

(Special to THE BROAD AX) Washington, D. C.—Emphasizing the importance of the ballot as the basis of American citizenship, the National Race Congress of America, is preparing its program for its fourth annual or "Suffrage Session," which convenes in this city at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 12th and R streets Northwest, beginning Tuesday, October 7th, and continuing through the 11th. Early announcement of the details will be made. "The right to vote and to be voted for is the first of rights," says the National Race Congress. "It is the vital principle of self-government and individual liberty. The ballot marks the difference between the citizen and the serf. Without the ballot the Colored American is powerless to contend for right and justice and civil equality, with the ballot he is all-powerful to act in defense of every lawful privilege." The addresses, declarations and resolutions will cover every phase of the so-called "race problem" in this country, and through a full, frank and fearless exchange of views on the part of the most influential forces among our people there will be worked out a definite and effective plan whereby the cruel and un-American practices of discriminations in public accommodations, mob violence, lynching, unfairness in the courts and disfranchisement—the crux of all the evils growing out of color prejudice—may be wiped out and a "reign of justice under the law" established wherever wave the Stars and Stripes. Concrete results will be the aim of the Congress and true and tried men and women of the race will be asked to employ their best brain and executive ability to evolve practical methods through which the betterment of the civil, industrial and educational condition of our 12,000,000 Negro Americans may be most speedily brought about. A premium will be placed on how to get done the things that can be done, through a sane, firm and intelligently-directed appeal to the conscience, the sturdy sense of justice and broad public spirit of the American people. The "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress will bring to the attention of the world the plaint of the darker peoples of the Universe, and will voice the demands of the Negroes under all flags for the right to participate, on equal terms in the vital work of RECONSTRUCTION that must now be engaged in by every member of the human family. Reports from the field to the national headquarters, 903 Third Street, N. W., Washington, D. C., indicate that the country is afame with enthusiasm for the October 7th meeting of the Race Congress. Local units are being formed throughout the states and in the populous colored communities, and arrangements are being made to send delegates of the most representative type. M. J. HON. DENNIS J. EGAN Chief Bailiff of the Municipal and steadfast friend of the late Jud charge of all of the arrangements it was one of the largest held in Chic Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago; long the bosom and steadfast friend of the late Judge Thomas F. Scully, who had entire charge of all of the arrangements in connection with his funeral which was one of the largest held in Chicago in many years. SUNDAY, September 28th, has been set apart as a "RALLY-FOR-SUFF-RAGE DAY," and it is requested that the local units hold mass meetings in the churches all over the land, to stir the Negro heart to the needs of the hour and to urge the necessity for sending delegates to Washington for the National Race Congress on the 7th of October. This is important and vigorous action should be taken. In the meantime the loyal and courageous leaders of the Race Congress are working day and night in Washington, influencing the American Congress to act on the bill to abolish "Jim-Crow" cars and to give the Negro equal accommodations on all railroads. They have been before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate to urge justice for the African colonies wrested from Germany. They have joined with the Presiden-elect of Liberia in pressing the claims of our "Sister Republic" for aid that will lead to its proper development, and have indicated a sympathetic interest in promoting fraternal relations with Abyssinia. They are pushing the $250,000 Emergency Defense Fund for the protection of the races in general, and are taking high ground upon all questions that involve the enforcement of law and order, the preservation of the national dignity and integrity, and to make CITIZENSHIP mean the same thing for both races throughout the length and breadth of the land. To assit in this constructive service, let there be an immense outpouring October 7th to 11th at the "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress at Washington. 86 861 PEU HON. ROBERT M.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE NOTES Tuskegee Institute, Alabama began its thirty-ninth annual session on Tuesday, September ninth, and before the end of the week all of the available dormitory space was taken. Such an opening is unprecedented in the history of the Institute. Because of the increase and demand for teachers in Agriculture, a large number of students are enrolling this year in this department and taking advantage of the Smith-Hughes Vocational courses. A large number of young women are taking domestic science while auto mechanics is leading as a popular branch for young men in the Trades School. Mr. Joseph L. Whiting, who for a number of years was Professor of Education, in the Academic department and who later served overseas in the educational department of the A. E.F., has returned and been placed in charge of the Teacher Training courses of the Smith-Hughes Vocational work. Captain William H. Walcott, who for ten years was Assistant Commandant under Major J. B. Ramsey, and who has been Acting Commandant since Major Ramsey resigned, more than a year ago, to accept an important position in Washington, D. C., under the War Camp Community Service has been appointed Commandant, with the title of Major. Major Walcott is a graduate of Hampton Institute.

This is also true of the young men students. With many old and new faces among the student body and Faculty, there is a revival of the real school spirit which had to be abandoned during the war. OSCAR DEPRIEST AND ARNOLI HILL ADDRESS CONGREGA TIONAL MINISTERS At a meeting, of the Congregationalist ministers of the city, September 15, at the Masonic Temple building, the race issue was presented by former Alderman Oscar DePriest and T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League. Mr. DePriest spoke on the "Causes and Casualties" of the Chicago race riot. The temper of his talk was unequivocal. He asserted that Negroes had reached the point where patience is no longer a virtue; that they are fighting back as any man should to defend his manhood and his home. In discussing the causes he read a long list of homes bombed, and spoke of the long standing fueds. Mr. Hoyne, he declared, is a menace. Gambling has always been practiced and always will as long as Mr. Hoyne is in office. Mr. Hill gave a program for the solution of racial difficulties. The problem, he stated, lies deeper than such surface irritations as manifest themselves in housing, recreational and criminal problems. Even if programs for all of them were accomplished he declared, there will still remain a problem. The bottom point of conflict is the unwillingness of white persons to place Negroes where their consciences demand that he be placed. "The Negro will not stay put where the majority of persons would have him. He keeps getting out of line." "The Negro is demanding an equal share in the democracy he fought for. He gave the program of Americanization as expressed by leaders of this movement and stated as his belief that Negroes would be satisfied to accept the full practice of this principle as a solution of their own difficulties. The fundamental principle on which he gave especial emphasis was that Americanization involves a practical realization of the Brotherhood of Man. Security in the rights guaranteed Negroes by the Constitution is the only possible means of bringing a lasting peace. FRIENDS OF JUDGE HOLMES PRESENT HIM WITH SILVER POOR OF GHETTO SHOW AFFECTION FOR JURIST ON LAST DAY AT COURT. Justice tempered with mercy. Sympathy for the unfortunate and the under dog. A desire to help the dregs of humanity which came before him each day. Those were some of the purposes sought by Municipal Judge George B. Holmes when three weeks ago he was assigned by Chief Justice Harry Olson to preside over the court at the Maxwell street station, in the heart of the Ghetto. Judge Holmes had heard much of that poorest of all poor sections of the city. He knew of the sufferings, the hunger and the persecutions they were subjected to and it was with a feeling of deep responsibility that the new judge took his seat each morning. From the first he proceeded to carry out his policies of humanity—the golden rule and brotherly love. It was something unusual to the people in that part of the great west side. They learned to love and to look upon the new judge as their friend, their protector and their champion. And so today was the final day for Judge Holmes to preside in that particular court. An assignment came sending him to the civil courts in the city hall. He was just bidding farewell to the police officers, lawyers and friends when there was a commotion. Crowds of smiling men, women and children pushed their way into the dingy courtroom. "And what's all this about?" asked the judge in a kindly voice. "A surprise, a surprise," shouted a dozen in chorus. And somebody carried in a huge package. Eager fingers untied the strings and paper. Then came to view a beautiful set of silverware which was presented to Judge Holmes. The Judge couldn't say much. When he tried his throat choked, and no words came forth. He was happy because he had been understood, but the givers of the silver were happier than he. FUNERAL OF THE LATE THOMAS F. SCULLY (Continued from Page 1.) ed the funeral sermon, and in doing so he paid a high tribute to Judge Scully as a devoted husband, father, and public-spirited citizen, that the world and humanity in general was much better off by reason of the fact that he had only lived in it a few years comparatively speaking, that he firmly believed in doing the little things in life to assist his fellow men and that made him great in all things in the sigh of his Lord and Master; that he was honest to the back bone and no power on earth would deter him from discharging his sworn duty as a public official; above all that "he believed in his teaching and practiced that belief in his everyday life." At the conclusion of the services in the church, the long funeral procession resumed its way to Mount Calvary where the remains were deposited in their final resting place. Judge Scully left his constant and devoted wife, Mrs. Thomas F. Scully, one son Thomas F. Scully, Jr., his aged mother Mrs. Ellen Scully; one sister Miss Margaret Scully; two cousins, James E. and William Scully and several relatives and hosts of true friends to mourn his untimely death. He was a member of the Royal league, the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters, and the Iroquois club. Judge Scully was born in Chicago Nov. 5, 1870, the son of Thomas and Ellen (Lyons) Scully. He was educated in the Holy Family school and in the Jesuit college. After leaving college he became an employee in the county recorder's office, and served on the law department of the board of education from 1892 to 1894. In 1896 he received the degree of LL. B. from Lake Forest university. He was admitted to the Illinois bar that year and began practice in Chicago. The same year he was appointed assistant prosecuting attorney, serving until 1903. Held Various Offices. Other offices which Judge Scully held at various times in his career were: Attorney for city comptroller, 1903 to 1905. Member of the state board of equalization, 1900 to 1904. Alderman Tenth ward, 1908 to 1910. Judge of the Municipal Court from 1910 to 1914. Elected county judge in 1914, and reelected for four year in 1918. He was warm hearted and was always interested in those who were less fortunate in life than himself and no one in want ever appealed to him in vain, for if it was within his power to aid them in any way he never hesitated in doing so.

The scarf and pocket flaps are of the cloth with all-over embroidery in yellow and black; on the whole exceedingly effective. For the later, cool evening of summer, and the beautiful fall days—an elegant coat. It is made of taupe duvetyn with bands of braid, sauce color. It is extremely full at the bottom.

DOLMAN SHAPE IS RETAINED Predictions That It Would Lose Its Popularity Have Been Proved Unfounded—Capes of English Tweed for Those Who Motor. If one has been denied a fur coat for many years and has secretly cherished a longing thereafter, this is the year, doubtless, when this longing can be gratified, for so expensive are the lovely cloth things that if possession is based on the matter of cost then a decision in favor of the fur can be made, as there will be no very great difference in the price, remarks a fashion writer in the New York Sun. Of course I am referring to the elaborate and dress models which all women admire and not everyone can possess. Of course the sumptuous things of ermine, mink, sable and seal are regal and lovely in capelike and dolman effects which swathe the wearer from tip to toe in a luxury indescribable. Just as in the fall dresses there is nothing radically differing from styles of recent months, so in coats and wraps there is no departure from accepted models. In Army Style A favored style is seen in the fine warm coats of camel's hair following the design of an officer's trench coat belted and close fitted for warmth and comfort. These lovely camel's-hair coats are often mounted with deep fur collars of soffet texture, such as brown fox or lynx. The huge patch pockets and deep fur cuffs which were so in evidence a season age are no longer featured so emphatically, either on this sort of coat or on one of the velvetlike duvetyns or wool velour. The dolman shape persists in spite of the persistent rumors to the contrary, and many of the most exclusive houses are showing the dolman, not only in the less expensive materials, but in the splendid fur and brooches and velvets as well. Much embroidery in self colors done in heavy silken threads is observed—perhaps for the reason that the great cost of fur will place it beyond the average pocket-book. A curious notion is seen in the use of monkey fur placed fringelike along the bottom of short jackets, and used also to trim fur toques. Monkey Fur Not Popular MONKEY FUR NOT POPULAR. The use of monkey fur on an evening wrap of heaviest black satin is not unpleasing, as it has been cleverly done, but monkey fur will not be greatly admired, however smart it may be considered. On the particular wrap which it embellishes the back has caught up in a sort of overdrapery suggesting the drooping blouse the French makers exploit continuously. The fur is used as a banding underneath this drapery and extends around to the front and down the sides of the coat. The very long hair has all the effect of fringe and is soft and silky. The sleeves in this wrap are really mere slits in the front sides, and they too are edged with the monkey fur and form the collar, which is so made that it buttons up around the ears or falls away in a little cape effect. The lining of this handsome wrap is of white satin pailletted with huge black velvet dots. This fashion of doubling material adds as much to the cost as it does to the beauty of a garment and the fall cloak is apt to be as radiant inside—perhaps even more so than the outside. Less pretentious than this silken wrap and very lovely is a handsome straight-hanging coat of tan cannel's hair with perfectly unbroken lines down the back except for a tight plain yoke across the shoulders. At the sides a pointed pocket effect is introduced in brown seal, and the high rolling collar which rumps around the throat is also made of the rich brown seal. The sleeves are long and tight and finished at the wrist with a narrow cuff of the brown seal. This is an excellent example of a conservative and beautiful coat suitable for every daytime occasion. Velvet Wraps for Evening. So many women have invested in handsome fur pieces for wear with the one-piece dress that the demand for the untrimmed coat is met by the manufacturers in velvet wraps for evening wear which have no fur whatever about them. These are for the most part made up in rather simple designs with long, loose lines, plain, rather tight sleeves, and resembling elongated jackets. They are very graceful, and with the addition of one's own furs are quite as sumptuous as the average woman need demand. For motoring some very smart capes of fine English tweed are made with lamb's wool linings, which unbutton and can be quickly removed. These traveling capes are a delight for steamer and motorcar, and are copied from trench coats much used by officers during the war. The tweed is so treated that it is impervious to rain. It is found that the heather mixtures and intermingled colored surfaces are much better for a wrap for general use than the solid colors, and for this reason smart coats in twilled cords and invisible stripes and mixtures are much in demand for bad weather wraps and general service. Lined With Wool or Flannel. Of course many women find it practical to use the coat suit through the winter season, and for this reason have the coat heavily interlined with lamb's wool or flannel. Years ago we often saw the lining of jackets of this sort made of white and gray rabbit skin, also much used for the long and all-enveloping evening capes, but rabbit skin is costly these days, and one rarely finds it so employed except for motor and ocean travel. It is quite possible to insert an interlining of one of the fleecy warm woolen fabrics without adding clumsiness to the coat. No combination is lovelier than one of the soft blue heather mixtures with a soft gray fur. One such coat suit has the plain skirt which is demanded on all the newest models and a rather short jacket in a box coat effect, except that it is not distinctly a box coat, for a belt placed across the back prevents this. A high collar of gray squirrel turtles around the throat and also adds cuffs to the tight sleeve. The new coat suits, like the new dresses and wraps, reveal no radical departures in the way of design or lines. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO. SEPTEMBER 20. 1919 FOR DRESSY WEAR Flounces Add Charming Effect to Youthful Costume. Choice of Materials for Evening Especially Wide This Season—Chiffon More Popular Than Ever. Nothing is more becoming to the slender young figure than the flounce, and flouces are more fashionable than ever. When they are dainty, cleverly scalloped, the effect is even more graceful. A very lovely evening gown is of the palest rose satin, completely covered in silk tulle of a delicate ivory tint. The edges of the overdress are scalloped and bordered by a small bliss of pale pink velvet. Over all this slips a little tunic of ecru lace, draped slightly at each hip to form miniature panniers. The decollete is pointed at the back and very modestly round in front. Very short sleeves are finished in scallops. Be sure not to have the neck cut very low. Nothing is such utter poor taste for a young girl as this expanse of chest. The arms, too, should not be totally bare; a sleeve of some kind must always be worn. There should also be no beauty patches or extravagant hair combs or brilliant hair buckles or hair ornaments of any eccentric design. For informal parties the choice is wide and catholic. Taffeta is still a great favorite, and the shades shown are ravishingly tempting. The rather firm texture of taffeta makes it necessary to cut the gown simply, so that this is indeed an ideal fabric for the age. Chiffon will never "go out." The girl who likes to look just a bit different will have a graceful model of burnt orange chiffon, draped over yellow chiffon and toned down with a touch of brown velvet. The bodice is cut very simply. Round of neck and finished with one row of tiny dull gold beads set far apart. A very narrow girdle catches up the folds of the chiffon at each side, and is of velvet ribbon. Three deep nun's tucks of graduated width form a front panel. There is a bouquet of rich autumn foliage with a small tangerine clustered among the leaves at the left side of the girdle. This model is to be worn by the dark girl, of course. The dainty blonde will like a frock of pale green crepe de chine, the skirt made of three floundes of green silk tulle with one great rose at the lower hem, directly in front, rose velvet with palest green leaves, and another under the left arm at the belt. There is a wee glet of pale green brocade, touched in silver and velled in pale green chiffon upon the simple draped bodice. GORGEOUS SET OF BLUE WOLF DEERWOO L ALF FAYWOOD Milady will have no fear of the cooler days of late summer and spring if she wears this stunning set of blue wolf. NOVELTIES IN FALL BLOUSES One Short In Length and Cut Straight Is Especially Admired—Another in White Crepe. In selecting blouses for fall no woman can make a mistake by including several over-the-skirt models. Many interesting novelties are being offered. One that is especially smart is barely hip length, is cut quite straight and held in at the hips with a tight band that usually is richly embroidered. Rich, heavy satinies and silks, crepes and velvets are used for blouses of this type. One lovely model recently seen in a collection of fall blouses not yet in the shops was made of heavy white crepe, cut with a round neck open a trifle in front so that it would slip easily over the head. It has elbow sleeves and the bottom of the blouse and neck were richly embroidered in gold, rose and black. Brown Must Be Enlivened. A good deal has been written this season concerning the brown shades, and the use of this color has been extended to evening wear, for which it has sometimes been considered too somber. When so used, it is almost invariably lightened by touches of metal or palllette effects, and the fabrics chosen are of themselves shear. JUST THE THING FOR CORNER Shelf That Takes Up Very Little Room and Will Be Found Remarkably Handy. If one lives where room is scarce, this convenient corner shelf will be found remarkably handy. It not only looks pretty, but endless articles or boxes can be kept on the floor behind the curtains. Get two pieces of wood about 3 inches wide and 1/2 yard long, and nail on wall from corner outward, and 1/2 yards to 1/4 yards from the floor. Then procure a piece of wood meas Corner Shelf. uring ½ yard at sides to point, and fix on top of the wood supports, and nail through in several places. To cover: Get some pretty chinata to match colorings in room or wall paper, and nail over shelf. Cut two pieces 3 inches longer than distance from shelf to floor. This will do for making him at bottom of curtains. Turn over a small turning at top sufficient for a tape to be run in. This can be nailed along shelf. Cut also a piece length of shelf, about ½ yard deep, and scallop at bottom, neatening edges with fringe or ball trimming. MANY SHADES IN STOCKINGS Fair Wearer Hard to Please if She Cannot Find Something Especially Suitable This Season. Royal blue silk stockings are often seen with otherwise entire white costumes. These, and all shades of orchid and yellow are worn with white buck or white canvas oxford, with promenade and sports dresses, but never with slippers or pumps. For dressy afternoon wear matching satin pumps are often worn, and in the evening silver or white kid slippers, with matching rolled stockings fastened just below the calf of the leg with jeweled pins, or round garters of roses or other small flowers on narrow elastic fastened just below the roll. Cotton hose are popular (when obtainable), for they hold the roll better than silk; they are made with solid lowers and striped tops. The real "kilties" have little on the young ladies of today, for above these hose are very bare legs to the knickers, teddies, or whatever. With this bare knees fashion there is much care taken of the corset, for without the garters from edge to hose to hold them down the corset must be made with insets of elastic below the belt to give the supple, unscored effect. Corset makers have been endeavoring toward this end, for this is no new departure, as it was launched from a fashionable school over a year ago, and worn all during the winter, even at Saratoga, where the cold is severe — Women's Wear. SMART BLOUSES IN FLANNEL All White or With Striped Colorings They Are to Be a Rival of the Sweater. Many of the smartest of the new fall blouses show panel arrangements, either back or front, and some of them have both back and front panels. In the range of strictly tailored blouses now being brought out for fall some very smart flannel models are being shown. Fliannel blouses have always been rather highly regarded for sports wear, but they were rarely seen last year, manufacturers reporting that fabrics were too difficult to secure. All-white blouses are featured, but those made of white flannel striped in dainty pastel colorings are decidedly the best looking. The flannel blouse trimmed with collar and cuffs, and sometimes pocket flaps of angora in a color to match the stripe in the flannel is a smart novelty, and for golf or other sports wear promises to be a rival of the sweater. New Autumn Sweaters. A large proportion of the girls who have been at seaside and mountain resorts during the summer have come home determined to make new sweaters out of their old ones. Many a painfully knitted sweater has been ripped apart, and is being remodeled into one of the new shapes with bell sleeves and a full peplum. The problem here, of course, is to match the old wool. One clever girl, however, used the old wool for the body and bought wool of contrasting color for collar, belt and cuffs. Black is usually fine for this purpose. Velvet for Wraps. Velvet is being used in a variety of frock wraps. It is used for coat frocks which are fur trimmed, for picturesque dinner frocks of flowing line, and for draped effects in evening wear. PLUMES IN FAVOR Feathered Headdresses a Prominent Mode of the Moment. Poppy Red Ostrich Tips Becomingly Arranged a Novelty Much Admired at Recent Fashionable Gathering. Feathers are playing a very eminent part in the world of fashion. They are being worn in every conceivable way. Feathered headdresses are as elaborate as those of any Indian warrior. Some, mounted on little transparent caps, tower to great height, while others, in the form of bands, are worn low on the forehead with pendent plumes falling lower over the ears or shooting upward from the middle of the brow. Dangling ostrich tips fall over the ears in ringlet style to complete a new headdress. At a recent evening function a young girl attracted much attention by wearing in this manner two poppy red tips attached to a tulle bandeau of the same vivid shade. A close second for popular favor is the jet headdress, which continues to be seen at all the evening functions in Paris. The most extravagant of these have a halo of algrette surmounting a skull cap of cut jet or sequins. Birds of every species are now called upon to contribute to fans which, adding as they do to the picturesqueness of dress, fit in with the present movement in clothes. Spanish beauties have never considered themselves fully dressed without fans. A Two poppy red ostrich tips falling over the ears attached to a tulle band form one of the new headdresses. To them fans have not only meant romantic bits of feminism, but have served as sunshades when strolling in their gardens. Fans always have been popular and always will be. Although not a necessary part of dress, they live indefinitely because of their beauty and charm. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth men as well as women carried them. In those vain times small mirrors were inserted in the backs. Later, in the eighteenth century, the fan became such an important article of dress that the utmost skill of artists and jewelers was used in decorating them. EVENING FROCKS OF TAFFETA Charming Designs in That Material Put Forward by Leading American Designers. Flowered taffeta is being used in the development of evening dresses by some of the-best American designers. One charming frock seen recently was made of gray taffeta splashed with pink roses. The girdle or bodice was of cloth of silver and a small pink ostrich tip held the side drapery in place. Draped effects predominate in the development of evening frocks. Tunic and redingote frocks share honors with the more fluffy draperies, the general tendency being to show a greater width at the hips than is in evidence in daytime frocks. Metal trimmings are very much favored, and in the lineup of lovely fabrics, shown especially for evening frocks, a chiffon with gold or silver motifs is one of the novelties of the season. A gown made of one of these fabrics may have bodice or girdle of metal cloth matching the motif on the fabric proper, a really gorgeous gown being the result. Flowers for Home Decoration What could possibly be lovelier than one or two pond lilies floating in a transparent china or glass bowl? Of course you must use a leaf and bud in such a composition. Every woman that loves to decorate her home knows intuitively the arrangement of flowers that will make her home the most beautiful. Every one of us that has the slightest love for the beautiful interprets this desire in our own individual way when it comes to selecting jars to hold our postes and the placing of them filled. We must pach one express our own artistic impulse in our own way and if we love our flowers we will know how to arrange them. Lage le Triumphant The lace dress is having a triumphal time at present. Gowns of chantilly, Vermicall, white Allencon, and black and yellow Spanish lace were among those which recently scored highest in a fashion show. FIND BEAUTY IN EXERCISE Work in Garden or House is One of the Best Means of Attaining a Graceful Figure. The woman who would be graceful must exercise. As the two essentials in the quest for grace and beauty are fresh air and exercise, seek them in the garden. There is nothing better for the muscles of the back, shoulders and arms than to loosen the earth about the plants with a rake or hoe. The constant bending forward and straightening up the body from the waist is an exercise that the seekers for beauty should take frequently. Housework also is an invaluable aid to beauty, and the woman who is without a maid will find her tasks far more interesting if she realizes that they will increase her good looks. For instance, washing windows will develop the arms and strengthen the muscles of the back and chest. Sweeping and dusting produce the same excellent results, while reaching high to dust pictures and a plate rail, with a long-handled brush, will do much toward improving your figure. As you go through your house pick up threads, instead of using a brush or carpet sweeper, and you will find that soon you will be reduced to youthful slenderness. With these thoughts in mind, you will cease to grumble of complain aboot having to do housework, for there is much consolation in the thought that it is helping you along the road to beauty and grace.—Exchange. TUNIC FROCK FOR YOUNG GIRL Of Velvet or Taffeta With Distinctive Touches That Will Please the Youthful Wearer. Designing styles for the young girl is largely a matter of adapting the simple modes of the grown-up to the more youthful figure. A season of draped effect in women's frocks usually finds an echo of some sort in the garments turned out for members of the younger generation, and the coming season will prove no exception. Straight-line garments, draperies, and tunics have all been approved for women, and certainly straight-line chemise or smock styles and tunics are being equally strongly favored in the dresses developed for girls of ten years and over. Seen recently was a smart little tunic dress that may be made of wool material, of velvet or of taffeta. It would be exceptionally smart made of taffeta in navy, with narrow double fringe in contrasting color outlining the neck and the side closing. Buttons matching the fringe also give a trimming touch. The sash ends are also finished with fringe. If made of velvet or serge the sash may be b omitted and a wide crushed girdle caught with an ornamental buckle substituted for it. CAPE IDEA FOR FALL © Western Newspaper Union Paris has indored the cape, and it will be prominent in the fall fashions. This frock is sand taffeta with black satin stripes and the cape is of black satin lined with sand georgette. MODISH IDFAS. The godet basque appears on some of the very latest skirts. The Greek sandal is so popular that it is worn on the street. Little helmet hats are trimmed with lace and strings of beads. Taffeta hats in mushroom shapes are excellent for country wear. The wide tucks of skirts are some times made to stand up like cuffs. For traveling a taffeta coat which covers one entirely is useful. . . Some long silk tunics come within two inches of the foundation skirt. With Black There is a movement to revive the black lace blouse posed over a white silk lining. Black and gray is denureness itself. But take a black satin frock and give it a deep bertha of gray net and put frills of the same gray net at the short elbow sleeves and you have an effect that is delightfully quaint and feminine.
