W. H. Riley was chairmon of the latter meeting, and at both meetings strong resolutions were passed, urging and praying that the Chief Justice of the Criminal Court select or appoint a special state's attorney to conduct the remainder of the riot cases as the vast majority of the Colored people vast majority of Colored people believe that Colored persons charged with joining in the late riots in this city will not receive a square deal at the hands of the Hon. Maclay Hoyne, state's attorney. Rev. Brockett, presided over the meeting at the Armory; Rev. Elmer L. Williams, the fighting parson was the first speaker, and right from the start he fired volley after volley of red-hot shots into the Hon. Maclay Hoyne, --- state's attorney of Cook county, time and time again he declared that Mr. Hoyne was not the proper person to occupy such an important office, that he should at once be removed from it for his many shortcomings. More than four thousand people loudly applauded Rev. Williams every time that he would make a lunge or a drive on the Hon. State's Attorney and ride around on the top of his back. In concluding, the Rev. Williams stated that the better class of Colored people in this city had many warm and true friends among the best class of white citizens, that they must stand together and assist to maintain law and order; that in order to refute State's Attorney Hoyne's statement "that the Colored people either started or were responsible for the recent race riots in this city"; that the law abiding Colored people must not shield those whom they know have committed crimes and who have so far escaped punishment. At the conclusion of his wonderful CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 [Name] President of the Parmelee Transfer Company; Treasurer of the John R. Thompson Company; high-class and progressive business man, who would make a tip-top Republican candidate for State Treasurer of Illinois, in 1920. talk Hon. James A. Scott and several other gentlemen escorted him to the People's Movement meeting, which also was largely attended, where he made another long, red-hot drive against the Hon. State's Attorney of Cook county. The next number on the program at the Armory meeting was a catchy solo that in time "Ethiopia will become the chief corner stone", by Mr. W. D. Ward, which brought down the house, for it was one of the most up-to-date and timely solos that has ever been rendered in this city. Hon. Patrick H. O'Donnell, who was advertised to address the meeting as "The Irishman With a Soul" was the next speaker, and from start to finish he tore the hide, tallow, and great chunks of raw flesh from the live carcass of the Hon. State's Attorney, and sometimes we felt that every time Mr. O'Donnell opened his mouth that the eminent state's attorney jumped straight up in the air about ten feet and turned real red in the face and was almost mad enough to utter a long string of real cuss words; for never in our born days have we beheld anyone who had the nerve and the boldness to score any public official the way that Mr. O'Donnell scored the present state's attorney of this country; and if one-half of the things are true that were piled on the top of his head by Mr. O'Donnell, then the Hon. Maclay Hoyne should without delay step down and out of his high office, for he has outlived his days of usefulness as a public official. Mr. O'Donnell in one part of his rip-roaring talk related how the Hon. State's Attorney has been holding Joseph Scott in the county jail contrary to law, that Scott had been discharged by the Coroner's jury for the part that he played in the recent race riots in protecting and defending himself from the murderous assaults of some white ruffians, and that in all fairness and justice, Joseph Scott was entitled to his liberty or freedom. Evidently the Hon. State's Attorney heard that same Sunday afternoon that Mr. O'Donnell had been saying some awful bad or mean things about him, for bright and early Monday morning Joseph Scott was, after resting in it for over three weeks, turned out of the GRADUATING EXERCISES FIRST AID RED CROSS CLASSES, NO. 418-419 Julius F.

The graduates who took part in the program were at their very best, and in every way it was one evening well spent. The demonstrations could not be beat and they were highly instructive, and Mrs. Nora Lee played her part well, when she fell on the platform as the "sunstruck victim". Mrs. Arleene M. Scott as one of the class historians read a very fine and highly instructive paper on what had been accomplished by the members of her class. Miss Evelyn Kimmel, superintendent of Provident Hospital, who had instructed both classes in Home Hygiene who presented the diplomas to those graduating received a very lovely silk umbrella and a gold fountain pen from those she had instructed. Dr. Carl G. Roberts, who had instructed members of both classes, was presented with a richly engraved beautiful silver water pitcher and tray for his pains and trouble, and he was overjoyed to receive it from those whom he had honestly endeavored to instruct along the lines of home hygiene and the care of the sick. His assistant, Dr. L. Lapley was presented with a leather bag, which will come in handy while making professional calls. Mrs. Nora E. Lee, Mrs. Bertha L. Hensley, Mrs. E. Jenifer, Mrs. Carrie Warner and many other well known women in this city, aside from those whose names appear on the program were presented with diplomas. under the sound of his manly fighting voice still wanted him to continue to orate to them.

MOSELEY TO THE RESCUE Colored Race Commissioner In Defense of Governor Frank O. Lowden Chicago, Ill., Sept. 23, 1919. Mr. J. F. Taylor. I read with a great deal of interest and surprise your leading article, "One Race Commissioner of Illinois Contends, etc." in your last week's issue, and I must frankly confess that I agree in part, or rather I am of the same opinion as the colored Commissioner in regards to the Hon. Frank O. Lowden not being the author of the interview quoted by you from the issue of August 1st last, of the Herald-Examiner, of Chicago, wherein it was made to appear that the Governor among other things, referring to the alleged race riots in Chicago; their cause, how to stop and prevent their recurrence, said "I believe it would be possible to create a commission that could solve the problem by means not authorized by law." I would have to hear the Governor say this myself and I would be careful to ascertain his physical and mental condition before I believed he said it. Of course, under the stress of a great desire to end bloodshed and appease the populace, one can give utterances to sentiments not their own, and which should not be too seriously recorded against them if the purpose ```markdown ``` 78 HON.

Page Two Editor, The Broad Ax. Dear Editor: [Image of a man in a suit and bow tie]. The greatest fighting Irish-American lawyer in Chicago; who stands ace high with the Colored people; who spoke at two big meetings which they held last Sunday afternoon. was to do good. But I feel that no Governor of this great state since its organization have ever advocated the violation of the law, as a means of securing the peace, happiness and prosperity of its people. Every outrage and wrong complained of in this state before or after the alleged race riots was, and is the result of law violation, the hope of the people of this State and of the World is not in means not authorized by law, but in law and its impartial enforcement in letter and spirit; the woes of Humanity and of the world today are because men blinded by ambition, passion and desire have failed to see this truth. Jerimiiah, Isaiah and Ezekiel, prophets of old, uttered it in the voice of God, and warned the Jewish and Gentile races of the penalties that would follow the denial of Justice to minorities and the violation of Sacred Law; today, evidences of the truth of their preachment is found in the empty apartment of Edom where the foxes dig their dens, and in the sands of the Desert now shifting over the forsaken ruins of Palmyra while the owl hoot in the halls of ancient kings and the gentle zephyrys of a summer's evening sings its sad requiem thru the rents of once gorgeous palaces, while the dust of the Desert is piled in heaps upon the foundation stones of the seven Churches of Asia, and the mighty kaiser is a fugitive from his throne, and the American people contributing their sons and their blood and treasure to warfare in Russia and lynch law; race rioting becoming more 78 members of the Board of Assess may be induced to enter the race uniteeman in the Second Ward so so a hot fight will be staged Wright. ATTORNEY PATRICK H. O'DONNELL THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 prevalent; all because of means not authorized by law, for this and many other reasons I am forced to the conclusion that Governor Lowden is not the author of the interview and that upon proper investigation it will be found that the Colored Commissioner is right.

NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS TO HEAR EMINENT SPEAKERS Vigorous Program Outlined for "Suffrage Session" in Defense of Constitutional Rights of America's 12,000,000 Negro Citizens—Dr. Jernigan to Tell of His Observations in France—Thrilling Message From Over the Sea. (Special to THE BROAD AX) WASHINGTON, D. C.—All is in readiness for the Fourth Annual (or "Suffrage Session") of the National Race Congress of America, called to meet at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in this city October 7th to 11th. Reports from every section of the country indicate that the attedance will be the largest and most representative that has yet gathered on this continent to consider the welfare of the Negro people. Enthusiastic rallies have been held in the various communities, and the local units organized by churches, fraternities, business and professional leagues and conferences have selected delegates who will come to the nation's capital October 7th to enter their protest against mob violence, lynching, political and civic proscription and to emphasize the necessity of the BALLOT as the primary safeguard to full and complete AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP for the Negro. What the Race Congress Will Demand. Among the demands of the Race Congress will make are: The abolition of the "Jim-Crow" car system on railroads; the abandonment of discriminatory regulations and segregation; fair play by jury and a recognition of the Negro's right to sit on juries; the adoption of an economic wage scale to be applied alike to both races; adequate education facilities and the same military training for colored and white youths; reform in the penal institutions of the South and the breaking up of peonage; improved housing conditions for industrial workers and satisfactory provision for health and sanitary protection in the cities and towns; and the strict enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States in every state of the Union. The Race Congress makes it plain that the basic influence that will bring these desired reforms is SUFFRAGE, and it is determined to insist upon the BALLOT as the vital force that will enable the race to enjoy the full fruits of freedom and to obtain its rightful share in the DEMOCRACY for which a world-war has just been fought and won. All who subscribe to these broad principles of SOCIAL JUSTICE should send delegates to Washington October 7th and assist in formulating a program through which these sacred privileges may be most speedily secured. A special feature of the Race Congress will be the report of Rev. W. H. Jernigan, who went to Paris as the accredited representative of the 12,000,000 Colored Americans, and who took a strong stand in the Pan-African Congress for the just government of the African Colonies wrested from Germany, and signed the petition of the Negro people for proper consideration of their grievances at the hands of the Peace Conference. Eminent Speakers Who Will Address The Race Congress. Announcement is made of a long list of able and influential speakers who will appear before the Race Congress during its five days session. Some of those who have accepted invitations to deliver addresses are: United States Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio; United States Senator Selden P. Spencer, of Missouri; Congressman Martin B. Madden, of Illinois; Bishop G. W. Clinton, Bishop I. N. Ross, and Bishop W. D. Chappelle; President-Elect C. D. B. King, of Liberia; F. M. Hercules., of London, England; P. Newton Brown, of Costa Rica; Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La.; and John Mitchell, editor of the Richmond (Va.) Planet; Rev. E. C. Morris president of the National Baptist Convention; Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, of Memphis, Tenn.; Dr. James E. Shepard, president of National Training School, Durham, N. C.; Dr. R. R. Wright and Rev. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia; Rev. Drs. W. W. Brown and W. B. Hayes, of New York City; Rev. Drs. F. James Bryant, of Atlanta, Ga.; M. W. Reddick, of Americus, Ga.; J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, Kan., and representatives of the Governments of Japan, China, India and Hayti. Others invited and expected to speak are: G. L. Knox, of Indianapolis, Ind.; H. C. Smith, of Cleveland, Ohio; Rev. L. K Williams, of Chicago; Emmett J. Scott and Carter G. Woodson, of Washington, D. C.; T. Thomas Fortune, of New Jersey, and many others of equal prominence. Thrilling messages will come from Abyssinia, France, England and South America. Chairman of the following important Commissions will make interesting reports: William Pickens, of Baltimore, on Education;; W. T. Andrews, of Baltimore, on Political Conditions; J. H. Murphy, of Baltimore, on Transportation Facilities; E. Kinkle Jones, of New York Urban League, on Labor Conditions; A. E. Malone, of St. Louis, on Business Progress; and John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the Race Congress, will tell of the operations and successes of the Emergency Defense Fund, authorized by the Race Congress. All roads are leading to Washington for this great meeting October 7th to 11th. BAKER DEMANDS INVESTIGATION OF SHERIDAN AFFAIR The mistreatment of colored girls employed at Fort Sheridan, referred to the War Department by the Chicago Urban League is receiving official notice. Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, has announced his intention of making a thorough investigation of this complaint thru the office of the Inspector General and take such disciplinary action as the findings warrant. It was discovered that General Hospital, Number 28, Fort Sheridan, in which the colored girls were working when one was slapped by a kitchen police and others cursed and abused by white soldiers who threatened to "run all Nigger's away from Fort Sheridan" has been inspected several times within the past two months, which indicates that the War Department has been cognizant of mismanagement. Colonel Maddox in charge, condoned the action of this white soldier and said that he was justified in slapping the girl. His surprise was that the soldier did not do more. TWO BILLION LOAN TO NEGROES A solution of the race problem has been suggested by Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton of Massachusetts, a white woman, who has recently come into prominence during the National Prohibition Campaign. Mrs. Tilton proposes a solution, "not by segregation" but by "scatteration". She would have the Negroes distributed throughout the entire country so that every community would have its proportion of Negroes. To provide decent homes and surroundings for Negroes thus placed she suggests that $2,000,000 be raised, either by public taxation, or through philanthropic contributions be loaned to Negroes and spent in the building of homes. "Where 30 billions have been spent to make democracy safe," she says, "at least 2 millions might be spent to make it decent." Mrs. Beauegard F. Moseley Entertained in Honor of Mesdames J. M. Connor, Lulu B. West and L. M. Jones, of Little Rock, Ark. Last Friday evening, September 19, Mrs. Beauregard F. Moseley, 56 East elaborate 6 o'clock spring chicken dinner, in honor of Mrs J. M. Connor, Mrs. Lulu B. West and Mrs. L. M. Jones of Little Rock, Arkansas, who had been pleasantly visiting in this city for the past three weeks, and who departed for their homes Saturday evening. Aside from the three guests of honor, the following persons enjoyed the spring chicken dinner: Mr. and Mrs. Cary B. Lewis; Mrs. Duke Johnson and her daughter, Miss Helena Johnson of New York City; Mrs. Belle Patton, Mrs. Hazel Harrison on Anderson, Mrs. David M. Manson, Mr. and Mrs. Beauregard F. Moseley; Mrs. Olive J. Harrison and Mr. and Mrs. Julius F. Taylor; Grandma Jane Hammond assisted to prepare and serve the chicken dinner, which was very fine and tempting.

Because of the peculiar conditions which exist in the fur world, we may look for a great Yogue in the plush, velvet, astruchan and other materials which may be called “near” fur, as they give the sume degree of warmth without cost- ing anything like so much, Even pony skins are likely to return, it is hinted, and the so-called caracul also, writes Martha Goode Anderson in the New Sun. ‘It will be recognized at a glance that many of the new garments are really triumphs of the furmukers’ art, for the soft and exquisite grace of many of the moleskin wraps would alone prove this assertion if those of uo other pelts were considered. Be- cause of the small size of the soft and velvety mole the makers of wraps of this rodent have achieved 4 beau- Uful result by blocking the skins in squares, which presents a handsomely- shaded surface. This effect is attain- ed by the use of hot irons which mark the skins in squares or rows, running now and then along the bot- tom of the long dolmans and capes. One of the handsomest of the mole- skin wraps is made up in a dolman effect by outlining a yoke across the back. From underneath this yoke the back of the wrap falls in rather fiar- ing lines quite to the edge of the skirt. An enormous collar of the shawl type folds over the yoke in the back and ‘extends quite to the waistline in front, where it fastens with a huge fur but- ton. There are no sleeves, but long und deep slits at the sides for the arms. Inside the lining is of the handsomest and most beautiful of fiesh-pink brocaded satin, with ample pockets fitted at the sides. Of course such a sumptuous wrap is intended for only sumptuous wearing, so te speak. Its cost is close to $1,000, while 2 companion coat of mink as soft as a baby’s skin is well over $2,- 000. There is a story going the rounds of a certain newly rich lady who showed her new string of pearls to a wealthy woman whose wealth had ‘been with her long enough for her to be entirely accustomed to it. Said the ‘uewest rich lady: “My pearis cost $200,000. What did yours cost, Mrs. Brown?” The answer came like a ‘fash and a revelation, “I should hate ‘to have mine look an oyster in the face.” Rage for Fox Skins Persists. Te_zetum now to our skins—fars, mean. It is astonishing the way fox holds on. First we have a season when the white stoles are in such de- mand it seems impossible to meet it, then comes the wonderful cross fox. with its rich blend of yellow and brown, and then the no less beautiful pointed and silver skins. The rage for these beautiful fur pieces is just as insistent now as it was lest fall, ‘and again this spring. ‘The long hair of the for makes it particularly be- coming to all and the many shades in which it can he bought have much to do with the demand. Black lynx, too, is a fur which never seems to lose its popularity. It, too, has the long and very soft and silky hair of the fox. Mink, with its shorter hair, has always seemed to be particularly suited to elderly women, but when it is combined, as it is this year, with deep rolling collars of seal or ermine or dyed skunk or some fur with a softer texture and a deeper color, nothing makes a more exquisite wrap. ‘There seems to be a determined effort to produce a demand for monkey fur. It goes well as a trimming for other garments, as I have recently observed it used fringelike on a voluminous and gorgeous evening cape of black satin, faced inside with orchid satin veiled in the same colored chiffon, ‘Sports Coats in Fur. Last year wuskrat came to be so much in demand as a winter sports coat that the price was pushed alinost as high as seal. The muskrat coats are again in high favor for general utility wear, such as motoring, tray- eling, skating and such allied uses. ‘The skins are blocked and matched with great perfection and made up inte whole garments as nearly tailored as a fur coat can be. These are particu- larly esteemed by younger women, as are the short jackets of gray squirrel. The latter are very smart indeed when made up into the hip length styles and untrimmed by any other fur. Chil- dren's coats are especially in demand in this fur and some are also made up in the brown squirrel. As to the smaller wraps, the little coatees which were brought out last season are azain to be much used, for the fashion makers are kind enough to permit the use of a last year's model this year, thus doing away with the necessity of paying enormous prices for the mak- ing over. The Eton jacket is the new- est in the coatge models. The cape coatees are of the same belted models used last year, fitted in at the back and flaring and full in cape effect in front. ‘They, too, have the high, rolling shaw! ‘collars seen on all the new fall mod- els, The demand seems to be great- est for the darker furs such as skunk, seal, sable, dyed muskrat and dyed squirrel, but as I said above these are Just gs often seen in a combination with one of the domestic furs in nat- ural colors. In selecting the short jackets it must be remembered that nearly all are fitted with the high choker collars ‘apd whereas one sees the shaw! and rolling collars on the longer coats, and dolmans and capes, the straizht- around and high, tight collar seems to be preferred on the shorter coat. This of course permits the use of the extra stole if desired and is therefore advan- tageous. ‘Smaller Pieces Are Combined. As to the demand for the smaller pieces, the one, two and three skins are made up in mink, sable, skunk and fox, though the latter is quite suffi- cient in one piece. The beauty of skunk cannot be denied. In one in- stance It is put together in a straight strip of the skins to make a stole at least a yard and a half Jong and half a yard wide. The skins, perfectly matched and blended, are marked by the hot irons where they are put to- gether, and this sort of marking forms a good effect in the whole piece. The ends are finished with many talls sewed on like tassels. As to muffs, they are quaint and round and small, Iike the Kate Greenaway models. The fashion of using muffs disappeared somewhat last year when the fur an man and capes and long stoles en- tered. Itwas found that the long sides of the cape served as cover for the hands and gave sufficient warmth. However, muffs are to be much used this year. . THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 Really Deviates Little From the Present Style. Designers Have Not Intended That the “Chapeau” Is to Be Worn Further Back on the Head—Brims Roll Backward. Af you have read or heard about, the new off-the-face style of hats that Have been Iuunched in Paris you may be un- der the iiupression that as a result of this vozue we are going to Wear oUF hats farther back on our heads. Some- how, the hat that fs tilted backward still looks a little outlundish, and it may seu to you as if it would be very hard to cive up the style of wearing Your hats well over your forehead. However, these new hats are not ac- tually worn buck off the forehead. The idea is that the brims roll backward so that there is Tess shading of the face, but the btu! of the bat takes the ‘same position now that it has for many Seasons, only that the hat ts placed per- fectly straizht in order to give the right effect to the falling back of the brim, There is no longer any Inclination of fashion to ult the hat on one side. ‘The new huts simply were not made for that sort of thing. When all $s said and done, it is really the hat that determines the way we do our hair, and as long as our hats rest on our ears the same as usual most of us will go on wearing our hair much the same as usual. A pompadour effect in front would be quite out of the question so long as the brims of hats rest across our fore- heads. It fs only when hats merely rest on our heads in front that we ean attempt 2 much puffed or elaborate front arrangement. ‘Time may come, and that not far off, when this tendency to pull our hats down on our foreheads gives way to something else. It may be that the poke hat that had only a small vorue ast season will return in a true poke form—that is, with a front brim that really flares und a very short back that setually shows the hair in baek— a hat that really is more of a bonnet than 2 hat. Tut if this type of hat is coming eventually, then the present off-the- face shapes are merely a digression because they are placed well on the head. ‘The only thing ts that the brim rolls back. And this roll-back brim is something that will sell many yards of velling, for this type of bat Is Just the sort of thing that you need as basis for the neat arrangement of a veil. American women have the rep- utation of arranging their vells better than any other woren in the world, but the American woman will not at- tempt to arrange 4 vell unless she bas something to arrange it on.

A ‘new silhouette is offered in the long lines, and low waistline. The New Paris Neckwear. Cape effects in broad multi-tier cok lars, with high directoire stocks, are a dominant note of the present neckwear fashion in Paris. — Short-sleeved guimpes are also extensively worn and this fashion promises to be carried over for general use in the coming sea- son. Both white and colored neckwear is favored, white organdie and heavy white linen, with delicate rose pink crepe being extensively employed. Fichu effects are also good and berthas are coming steadily to the front. Taffeta Millinery. Large hats of taffeta, with round, floppy brims, are an early autumn mil- linery feature of interest. These hats are trimmed with flat embroideries done in weol. EASILY MADE BOUDOIR CAP Lover of Pretty, Dainty Things Can Fashion This for Herself at ‘Comparatively Small Cost.

You can get some of the pret- tiest Imitation flouncings for a very small sum that will answer very nicely. A yard ought to make the cap. Seam the two raw edges to- gether neatly, and then run a gathering string around the scalloped edge, an inch in front and slanting to two lach- es toward the back, Pull this guthering thread to head size, about twenty-five inches, and cover the gatherings with a band of pretty tinted ribbon, to which you may add a garland of tiny silk flowers to be bought by the yard.

RICHNESS IS THE KEYNOTE [Afternoon and Evening Gowns for Fall ‘and Winter Sumptuous in Fab- ie aadl Erlanaine: Afternoon and evening gowns have never been more gorgeous in coloring than those now being offered for fall and winter. Chiffon, crepe meteor, tulle, lace and velvet are extensively used in frocks of the class indicated, and often two, three, or even four fabries are combined in one gown. Metal cloth is being used generously, and glittering sequins, jet and rich em- broideries play their part, and a very important part it is, in the adornment of these dresses, Brown shades are very popular for hext season, and they enter largely in- to the development of afternoon and evening frocks. One especially charm- ing frock recently brought out was of wood brown satin with tunic of self- colored lace. Gold net forms the long sleeves and is used for a wide sash, tied at the back in a flaring bow. Blue chiffon—French or Vietory blue being the popular shade of the moment —takes an effective afternoon or eve- ning frock when combined with black satin or crepe meteor and trimmed with black Jet embroidery and fringe. While fringe continues to be used in considerable quantity, Jet fringe fs first favorite. When sil fringe is used it is generally skirt length, except when a narrow variety, an inch or less in width, is used to form odd motifs on skirts, tunics, ete. BUILT ON STRAIGHT LINES New Garments Really Are to Have Only a Little of the “Barre!” Effect Promised. Designers flirt with the pubic fancy season after season by Introducing styles that are out of the ordinary; that differ radically from the ones in use, and that have received general ap- proval. The first offerings for the sea- son immediately to come have not es- caped. Practically every designer has brought out his or her own interpreta- tion of the barrel overskirt, but many of them admit already that it is merely one of the novelties of the season and that it Is not “taking” to any great extent. ‘The straight-line frock, according to the Kansas City Star, refuses to be ousted. ‘The two styles that seem des- tined to hold sway for fall and winter are the simple straight-line dress and the more fitted redingote. Tunics, overskirts and pleated effects, especial- ly when accordion pleating is used, are seen everywhere, but almost Invariably a straight silhouette is adhered to. ‘Wool jersey cloth again will be a reigning favorite next season for utility frocks. Beige and gray are said to be leading colors. Sensual Galisten Geo Sete Hatters plush, duvetyn and velvet continue to be the fabrics most in de mand for fall hats, and the variety in effect in these models is made Infinite by the many different styles of trim- ming. Feathers of all kinds seem to be the type of trimming best adapted to duve- tym hats, the soft, suedelike fabric and the drooping ostrich, blondine or even coque, making a very smart com bination. “Poison Green” a Favorite, “Poison green” is a favorite color for fall frocks. PANNIER TO STAY Every Indication That It Witt Continue in Vogue. ‘Small Bustle, Even, May Be Added to __the Coming Season's Gowne—Silk Fringes Seem to Be Losing Their Popularity. | ‘The indications are that the pan- niet comes to stay, and that some of ‘the very best houses have even added ‘the “vertugudin,” or small bustle ‘once a feature of our grandmother's tollette. One can imagine the charm ‘of this revival—a gracious apparition fn @ softly lighted drawing room, a ‘pretty young woman thus dressed— ‘very short sleeves, flat bodice, adora- ble puffs at hips, a saucy little bustle —and a vision of the romantic past breathes and lives. In our present day era of practical ‘good sense I doubt if we will witness ‘the renaissance of the crinoline, but it cannot be denied that a number of the latest evening dress snow a de- cided tendency to encourage the use of the very wide stiffened skirt, orna- mented by ruffles and large loops. ‘The return of lace 1s undoubtedly at the bottom of this mew craze for raffies. ‘ Silk fringes are gradually disappear ing. ‘They have been overdone. Con- trariwise, cock plumes, put in the dis- card for hat trimming, have found thelr future as ornaments for dresses. Cheratt shows us a model for evening wear made of silver cloth (lame), covered in white chiffon and trimmed only by a girdle of short cock plumes —of a lovely Chinese blue, the girdle ‘formed by inserting the feathers, one ‘by one, in the delicate folds of the chiffon. " Pringes of monkey fur are still fash- Jouable. ‘They are placed lengthwise, {following vertical seams ‘and lines. ‘The newest and prettiest waist cords are made of great wooden beads, hand- ‘painted in the coloring of the gown ‘they are to accompany. This does not ‘mean the exclusion of other girdles; ‘und just here it may be said that last ‘year's lovely style of using ropes of jet and lke variations of the Jet orna- ment will be still very much in favor. Some well-dressed women who do not like the arm entirely bared use elever- ly draped strands and loops of Jet pen- ‘dant from the shoulder or gracefully ‘arranged with any of the hundred de- ‘vices of the adroit dressmaker. "Phe wooden beads, however, will be more exclusive and original, be cause they are expensive, being care- fully and artistically handpainted — | Chieaze American.

FASHION’S FADS. Nothing makes a prettier suit for a growing girl than tweed. Ball tassels finish the soft girdle of some very pretty coats. Dark blue satin and gabardine make 8 pretty combination. Navy blue, black and the various shades of tan are the fall colors. Buttons and girdies are still the most Jmportant points of trimming. Children are now more simply dressed than they have ever been. Collars and cuffs are sometimes laced with ribbon of a becoming shade. Little girl's girdles are of narrow ribbon tied in a soft bow in front. ‘Make the blue serge dress the foun- dation of the schoolgirl's wardrobe. ‘There are many frills and plaitings about some of the new evening frocks. More Color Wanted. ‘The feeling for color, 2 tendency to warmer, richer and more satistying coloration in clothes, is in the air.

Then pieces of the border were cut to fit around it, and the whole thing sewn together and Ined at the back with coarse canvas. Square or oblong mats can, of course, be made upon the same lines, and sufficient material for several doormats may often be gleaned from an old dining-room or bedroom carpet. Our sketch clearly shows the way in which the border should be fitted around the carpet. MAKE THAT BLOUSE AT HOME Popular Over.the-Skirt Garment Need Have No Terrors for the Woman Clever With Her Needle. ‘One might almost think that the original designer of the costume or overthe-skirt blouse had the home dressmaker and her limitation in mind as the inspiration for this very popular garment. There can be no denying that It Is easier to make than the Dlouse that must be drawn in at the waistline and made to fit the figure. Practically all of the long blouses are straight in line, with only a girdle or belt to indicate the waistline If a fitted effect Is desired, while equally as many are allowed to hang straight. ‘A smart and unusual straight smock blouse in hip length recently seen was made of heavy satin with a deep band at the bottom done in cross-stitch em- broiders in contrasting color to simu- late smocking. The sleeves were stmi- larly finished. Another straight blouse recently brought out was # straight hip length affair, cut on smock lines, and made of heavy lace flouncing, the scallops of the lace forming the edge of the blouse. A lining of chiffon .in color formed the foundation of the blouse. The sleeves were long and bell shape. ‘The lovely fabrics that are obtain- able this season and the very simple styles that have received the unqualt- fied approval of Dame Fashion join forces to make the work of the home dresemaker easy. Good taste in select- ing fabries and judgment in determin- ing what style fs best fitted to the indi- vidual figure, together with the ability to do fine hand work are all that is required for the development of these blouses. GLOVES OF AMERICAN DESIGN Neither Those of Novel or Plain Effects Are Likely to Be Imported From France. With no novelty gloves from France, and plain French gloves exceedingly searce, American-made novelty gloves, mostly for street wear, are coming into high vogue, and will be all the rage among women this fall, according to a number of leading manufacturers who are In close touch with the trade. “Novelty gauntlets in two or three- tone combinations, with strap wrists, and also slip-ons, are all the go now,” said the manager of the fancy goods division of a big New York house. “French lambs of domestic make are today in demand by the largest retail stores in the country. They come in silk and chamoisettes, three rows in embroidery contrasting on white, with strapped wrists. Various designs are embroidered in the stripes upon the backs of the gloves In all the leading shades—heliotrope, brown, navy, tan and cordovan. “You can get all the plain gloves you want. Novelty and slip-ons are the things in demand today, and, as far as Europe is concerned, you cannot get any promises on deliveries on French merchandise.” mies aakae aie ‘Men's and women’s clothing ts often discarded before it 1s worn out be- cause of the objectionable “shine” which appears on the material after a short time. This can be remedied by sponging the garment with pure vine- ‘gar boiling hot. Rub the vinegar Into the material plentifully and vigorous- ly. Then press with pressing fron, as usual. This process should be re- peated whenever the shine reappears. Good Trimming Colors. Jade green and tomato red when used as trimming or in combination with navy, brown or gray, are most desirable for even the conservative women. Page Three SUNSHINE RESCUE MISSION 2890 S.

THE RAGE OF IMPOTENCE One of our contemporaries unfor- tunately over anxious and enthusias- tie says “the Whip is the only Colored Paper published you can rely on for = wholesome news.” Now, this is not exaggerated ego! land if it is not a lie, would it in any ‘case ever be considered good judgment to repudiate the ethics of the “journal- istic realm” by disregarding the hon- est efforts of others, making itself ex- tremest usurper of all the good and pure? The Colored weekly paper that es- says this “better than thee,” or any other; for principle sake, is an excel- ent medium of news, and in fact is a good journal, but unless we can ex- cuse the preachment of the selfish ego- tism displayed in such reckless state- ments we will be compelled to call this mad streak of intellectual lightn- ing sad murmurings of a mind dis- eased. There are not any adjectives thaf we can call to mind except those un- printable, strong enough to assail the description of such an egotist, much less his discretion. Nothing should ever allow disres- pect and disregard wantonly to hinder one from doing noble things, and to slur, insinuate, or ever stoop to inu- endo should ever be beneath editors snatched from obseurity to dogmatize and write with all the rage of im- potence. ST. MARK M. E. CHURCH pa AVE. AND FIFTIRTH ST. Rev. John W. Robinson, Pastor. The series of sermons on The Social Pleasures being preached by the pastor was begun last Sunday morning.

Hence the League has decided to ask the entire race to hold simultaneously all over the country, mass meetings demanding a "Safe America" on Sunday, September 21st, and asking the favor of Almighty God in the struggle for our rights.
