CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1921 PROF. CHARLES ELGAR'S ORCHESTRA FURNISHED THE JAZZ AND OTHER UP-TO-DATE MUSIC FOR THE DELIGHTFUL AND LONG TO BE REMEMBERED OCCASION. THE DINING ROOM, IN WHICH THE RECEPTION AND DANCING WAS HELD, WAS DECORATED IN THE MOST ARTISTIC MANNER WITH PALMS, FERNS AND CHRISTMAS GREENS; A LARGE LETTER "B" WAS SUSPENDED FROM THE CEILING AT THE SOUTH END OF THE DINING ROOM, WHICH ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION. BRAWLEY, THE UP-TO-DATE CATERER, SERVED THE REFRESHMENTS. A REAL LIVE CHINAMAN, FROM A CHINESE BOOTH ESPECIALLY ERECTED FOR THE OCCASION, SERVED REAL CHINESE TEA. MISS MARION HARRISON SANG "TWILIGHT" AND "IDOL DREAMERS"; LITTLE MISS RUTH STEWART DANCED "AMERICAN BEAUTY" AND "NAUTY, NAUTY GIRL." MR. FRANK B. WARING IMPERSONATED SANTA CLAUS AND PRESENTED EACH LADY WITH A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TOKEN. MR. JULIUS N. AVENDORPH, WHO WAS IN HIS GLORY AS MASTER OF CEREMONIES, PRESENTED THE GUESTS TO MR. AND MRS. BINGA, WHO STOOD NEAR THE NORTH ENTRANCE TO THE DINING ROOM; MRS. BINGA WAS COSTUMED IN A WHITE IMPORTED, HAND MADE BRUSSELS LACE GOWN, DIAMOND ORNAMENTS. Within the past fifteen or twenty years, the writer has had the honor and the extreme pleasure of attending receptions and other social functions, given by the best class of Colored people in St. Louis, Mo., Philadelphia, Pa., and notably the great Inaugural Ball and Reception which was held at Convention Hall, Washington, D. C., in March, 1913, at which time the wealthy and the leading Colored people were present from all parts of the United States. In the past we have also attended most of the social functions given by the Colored people in this city, but in our humble opinion, none of the receptions or social functions which we have attended in the past could surpass nor compare favorably with the Twilight party and reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Binga at the Vincennes Hotel, Christmas evening, for it represented in the fullest degree the wealthy and the property owning class of Colored people in this city. Never before have we beheld such a number of Colored men and women thrown together, who were all richly costumed in the height of fashion. The men in full dress evening suits and the elegant varigated gowns worn by the ladies caused them to resemble real fairy queens. Even the elderly ladies present were dressed right up-to-date, in fact it was more like a home party than any social affair that we have attended for a long time, for everybody seemed to know each other except the guests from afar. It is safe to say that seventy five to one hundred thousand dollars worth of Diamonds and other costly jewels were in evidence to dazzel the eyes of those who attended the affair with their beauty and brilliancy. Promptly at six o'clock sweet strains of music from Prof. Charles Elgar's orchestra, which was completely hid from sight behind tall potted palms, ferns and so forth, floated out through the Vincennes Hotel, and as the folding doors leading into the dinning room disappeared, the invited guests began to pour into it. At its North end stood Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Binga with palms and flowers on each side of them, and as the more than two hundred guests entered they were, in the most gracious manner, presented to them by Mr. Julius N. Avendorph, who is past master in the high art in seying as master of ceremonies, and who knows more people than any other man in Chicago. Just as soon as the "Twilight Party" was under good headway the dancing began and the guests continued to roll up in front of the hotel in apts until near nine o'clock, at which time the Lights were almost extinguished and Miss Marion Harrison sang "Twilight" and "Idol Dreams." And the dancing was in full swing for a short time and after coming to a halt the second time Miss Ruth Stewart gracefully danced "American Beauty" and "Nauty, Nauty Girl." Then on went the dancing again at full blast and at the third pause the guests all formed in two long lines right straight through the center of the dinning room with a passageway between the lines and Mr. Frank B. Waring impersonating "Santa Claus" ran up and down the line and all around the room shaking every one by the hand and wishing one and all a "Merry Christmas." At the south end of the dinning room a platform had been erected for him and from it he delivered a short speech in which he expressed the hope that all present would be able to live as long as he had lived and become old like himself, and that their years may continue to the end of time to be filled with pleasure and happiness. At the conclusion of his oration the guests formed in couples and marched around in front of his platform, and as each lady passed he handed a beautiful Christmas token to little Miss Ruth Stewart, who in turn presented it to the lady. The Christmas token consisted of a very artistic little fancy basket which was made in Germany. The next unique attraction in connection with the Twilight Party was the Chinese Booth in the south-east corner of the dining room and in it stood a real sure enough Chinaman who served Chinese tea and Chinese tea biscuits throughout the evening. The other refreshments were served by Brawley, the up-to-date caterer. The following were among the most prominent ladies and gentlemen present at the Binga Twilight Party or reception: Dr. and Mrs. William F. Garnett, Mr. and Mrs. Frank B.

Shortly after 10 o'clock the orchestra struck up "Home Sweet Home, there is no place like Home, be it ever so humble" and the Binga Twilight party which was one of the finest and most elaborate social affairs or functions ever held in this city among the cream of the four hundred passed on into history. A long line of autos all around the hotel stood ready to convey the merry and happy guests to their various homes and as the guests departed they grasped Mr. and Mrs. Binga by the hand and heartily thanked them for providing them with so much of real or delightful pleasure and they one and all proclaimed Mrs. Binga, who is one of our warm lady friends as the reigning social queen among the best and the most progressive property owning colored people residing in the great city of Chicago. BILL TO ESTABLISH SERFDOM IS APPROVED BY U. S. Washington, D. C.—The Poindexter railroad anti-strike bill slipped through the United States Senate as quietly as a motion to indorse the appointment of a cross-roads' postmaster. The bill was on the regular calendar and one objection by a senator would block it. The absence of a quorum is never raised on routine matters and senators are thus permitted to engage in committee hearings. Several routine bills were being considered while a handful of senators were present. The clerk read the Poindexter bill as favored by the committee. This proposal involving the liberty of millions of citizens was not discussed for an instant. No objection was raised no vote was taken and the chair announced its adoption. Almost immediately after its passage Senator LaFollette appeared in the chamber and gave notice of reconsideration of the vote. This procedure holds the bill in the senate until finally disposed of. The bill is referred to as a railroad anti-strike bill, but it applies to everything that enters interstate and foreign commerce and sets aside the foundation of the LoFollette seamen's law, which permits seamen to quit their employment when their vessel is safely docked. Under this bill if a Hindoo crew shipped in India on a British vessel for $10 a month, arrived at an American port and were told of their rights under the LaFollette seamen's act and they quit to enforce the "going rate of wages" at that port, the party that told them would be guilty of interfering with foreign commerce and liable to 15 years imprisonment and $15,000 fine. Railroad employees are not only prevented from striking but the act applies with equal rigor to anyone who "seeks to prevent any person from engaging in employment or from continuing in employment in any capacity in the production, care, maintenance or operation of any means or agency of such commerce." Under this section a machinist employed on work intended to be shipped to another state or to a foreign [Name] HON. THOMAS ALEXANDER SMYTH. One of the most successful West Side business men, prominently connected with John M. Smyth's West Town Market, who is much pleased to be able to wish its many patrons a Happy New Year. country could quit his employment, but if he induced another to quit, he would be liable to a fine of $15,000 or 15 years in prison, or both. The teamster who hauled the machine to the railroad train or ship would likewise come under this act as would every other worker whose labor was part of the machine. The act, in short, would reach any one employed on commodities shipped outside of the state in which the commodities were manufactured. ple to bring the facts about the unpatriotic and un-American Ku Klux Klan into the light of pitiless publicity. "Colored and white people throughout the United States are urged to obtain all possible information about the vaudeville artists who parade at night draped in bedsheets and pillow cases. This information if sent to the office of the National Advancement Association will be duly sent out to the American public so that they may The act is the most far-reaching even passed by an American lawmaking body and would enslave the wage earners of this country. With fine irony, the last section of the bill provides: "That nothing in this act shall be taken to deny to any individual the right to quit his employment for any reason." But if that individual does anything "with intent to obstruct, delay, hinder or prevent the movement of interstate or foreign commerce," he is liable to heavy fine and imprisonment. A strike is not necessary to have him thus jailed or fined. If he does anything "with intent" he is liable. If he makes a speech, or circulates printed word that the court would hold is "liable" to cause a strike and thus interfere with interstate or foreign commerce, he can be held under the act. N. A. A. C. P. FIGHTS KU KLUX KLAN The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has issued a statement announcing the steps which has been taken in the fight against the Ku Klux Klan. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Advancement Association, signed the statement which is as follows: "Colored People throughout the united States as well as white Americans are urged to join with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in fighting the ridiculous and sinister mummy which the Ku Klux Klan is trying to make people believe represents Americanism. Colored people have reason to know that the Ku Klux Klan represents terrorism and oppression, that it is organized to maintain so-called 'white supremacy' which means depriving colored people of their constitutional rights by violence. "To date the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken the following steps in its war on the Ku Klux Klan. 1. The Postmaster General of the United States has been written to asking him to refuse the privileges of the United States mails to the Klan for soliciting members. 2. Information having been obtained that the Klan intends to organize a branch in New York City, letters were written to the United States attorney for the district of New York, also the New York district attorney, the Police Commissioner, and the Mayor of New York and the Governor of New York State. Assurances have been received that no branch of the organization will be tolerated in New York and in a published statement assistant district attorney Alfred J. Talley scored the Klan as 'narrow chested bigots.' 3. Officers of the United States Department of Justice and of New York Police Department are co-operating with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple to bring the facts about the unpatriotic and un-American Ku Klux Klan into the light of pitiless publicity. "Colored and white people throughout the United States are urged to obtain all possible information about the vandeville artists who parade at night draped in bedsheets and pillow cases. This information if sent to the office of the National Advancement Association will be duly sent out to the American public so that they may know what kind of 'patriots' meet in secret to devise plans for violating the United States Constitution and the federal criminal code. "The time has gone by when any group of ignorant, bigoted and violent men can wreak their will upon the masses of their fellow citizens without a nation-wide chorus of protest and ridicule greeting their efforts." (Signed) James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. JEALOUS WIFE IN RAGE SMASHES UP LOVE TRIANGLE Rolling Pin and Bed Slat Used on Pretty Stenographer. Mrs. Rosa Wiribel thought she detected the eternal triangle in the relations between herself, her husband and the pretty stenographer whom she recently took into her home at 1703 W. 43rd street as a roomer. She wasted no time in tears. Instead, she unlimbered her rolling pin, dusted off a spare bed sat and laid in a locker full of milk bottles. While it lasted the engagement was a thriller. And if it didn't straighten the triangle it at least disintegrated it, as follows: Rosa herself is at the New City Police Station today, charged with assault. Miss Mary Cugyek, the pretty roomer, is in the County Hospital, bandaged from head to foot. Wribel in Wrecked Home. Frank Wribel, the husband, is at the family home, sole master of five rooms full of wrecked furniture, battered walls and broken milk bottles. Miss Cugyek is employed in the Stock Yards as a stenographer. Wribel is also employed there. Each morning the two went to work together and each evening returned in the same way. Mrs. Wribel discovered that they also ate together and remonstrated with her husband. He merely laughed and told her that it was none of her business. Hot Reception on Cold Evening. Tuesday night Wribel and Miss Cugyek entered the house with their arms around each other. They explained that the embrace was just a protection against the cold, but Mrs. Wribel was skeptical. She armed herself with a rolling pin and a bed slat and went after Miss Cugyek. The husband climbed out of a window and escaped. Neighbors heard screams issuing from the house and telephoned the police. A riot detail found Miss Cugyek lying on the floor unconscious and Mrs. Wribel standing triumphantly by her side with a broken bed slat in her hand. DOWN IN VIRGINIA Mrs. L. M. Canada, 602 E. 41st street, is spending sometime in Finchley, Va., with relatives and friends and will spend sometime longer on her farm in Macklinburg County looking after matters of importance. CHARLES E. STUMP, WHO NEVER WILL MAKE AN UP-TO-DATE NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT, VISITED CHICAGO DURING THE HOLIDAYS, WHERE HE HAD ONE RIP ROARING TIME. THE BROAD AX. JANUARY 1, 1921. Chicago, Ill.—The year is on the eve of saying good bye to you, and will pass into history. It has had its bitters and its sweets. Some it brought gladness and others sadness. Some have failures and others success, and now it has ended, and will soon be numbered with the things of the past. I would like to ask you what have you contributed to the world during the past 12 months! You need not answer me, but prepare to give an answer to Almighty God, who knows what you have been doing and if you have wronged any one, He knows that also Before going further, I want to pay my congratulations to Lieutenant and Mrs A. E. Morris, who have at the close of this year started life together, and have pledged to live and work for each other. I felt proud of them when I witnessed the putting them together December 22, in Lexington, Ky. The bride was at the time she married, Miss Mattie Craig Ellis, the daughter of Burnett Ellis, custodian of the Lexington United States post office, and one of the leading citizens of the ent is the business manager of the Vanguard, Little Rock, the official organ of the Arkansas Baptists. President of the National Baptist Convention, and a well trained young man. He made good in France, as Lieutenant, and brought home with him the bacon. He is perhaps one of the best trained young men of Arkansas, and at pres-Blue Grass section. Miss Ellis, is a refined cultured young woman, well educated and one of the best dressmakers in all Kentucky. She is one of the young women whose life has been spent in helping others. Since the death of her mother she has been a hard worker among the young people, and had many admirers and friends. The wedding was not advertised—in fact it was a surprise to many of her friends. I do not know whether or not you are acquainted with Lieut. Elias A. Morris, of Helena, Ark. He is the son of Dr. E. C. Morris, President of the National Baptist Convention, and a well trained young man. He made good in France, as Lieutenant, and brought home with him the bacon. He is perhaps one of the best trained young men of Arkansas, and at present is the business manager of the Vanguard, Little Rock, the official organ of the Arkansas Baptists. Just how long he has been talking this marriage business over is not known to me, but he told me that he had decided to take unto himself a bride, and invited me to be present. I accepted the invitation, and went there the day before the time for the young people to jump over the broomstick, and, believe me, honey, when I tell you that they look like angels. Lieut. Morris was accompanied by his brother, Fred Douglass Morris, the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, for the Knights of Pythias in Arkansas; Moses Profitt of Helena, Ark., a prosperous business man, and Attorney J. Robert Booker of Little Rock, a prominent attorney for the convicted men in the Elaine riot, and you have heard that I was along to be with the others. Mrs. Carrie Craig was there from Versailles, Ky., and Mrs. Carolyn Stewart-Blanton, from Louisville, Ky., and many others, being relatives or immediate friends. It was not an invite affair. I was there to witness it. At 1:30 they served a special dinner at the house, and it was a dinner, too. At this were the members of the bridal party, and the family. I was there, and did cat. After the eating such a getting ready, for the wedding was to be at 3:30, and promptly at that hour the preacher was reading to them out of a book set apart for that marrying business. Rev. David Johnson, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. chureh, tied the knot. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white satin with princess lace and pearls, bouquet of white roses, and Mrs. Mattie Ellis-Smith, sister of the bride, was matron of honor, and she wore a gown of pink satin, bouquet of pink roses. Following the ceremony, refreshments were served, and the party got together and left that evening for Little Rock, where they will be at home to their new friends. The couple were evenly matched, and we predict for them a long grand prosperous life. Both of them have a host of friends. Believe me, honey, when I tell you that I have been going since I wrote that last letter, and I am going some more before I get through. For I am here for a few days and will soon be out and gone to another part of the world. I wanted so much to drop over to Tuskegee Institute, but it was not possible this time. Yet I heard from there. Secretary Albion L. Holsoy is one more busy man, and we are all proud of him. He is striving to do his duty, and to do his work for the advancement of our people. He is faithful to Dr. Robert R. Moton, and just now he is interested in the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, which will be held on the 19th and 20th days of next year. They are expecting great things at this meeting this year, and you should plan to be there. April 15th will be the annual health week, and of course you are going to join to make that week a success. Have you ever been to Tuskegee on Founder's Day? If not I wish you would strive to be there this year, for it means so much to the whole race, and nation. Founder's Day this year will be April 11 and 12, and they are important days, as there is a thing to take place there that the whole race should be interested in and that is the unveiling of the monument erected to the late Booker T. Washington. All the friends and admirers and well-wishers of this great patriot and sage should be present. If you go to see Mr. Harding take his seat, then whip around to Tuskegee and pay a tribute to the man who meant so much to us, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Of course you are acquainted with Dr. Robert R. Morton, the principal of Tuskegee, successor to Booker T. Washington. God is using him to our advantage, and he got where God could find him when he was needed, and that, too, out where God could just put his hand on him and use him to help his people. Dr. Moton is doing a great big work. We have many things for which we should rejoice in this world. Of course there has been a large number of men who have been lynched, but there are many who are not lynched. Lawlessness has occupied its place to the detriment of many. Perhaps no time in the history of the world were there as many young boys who have committed crime—boys of both races, for there is no color to crime, and there should be none to punishment, but often this is true. I pray that the time will come when there will not be so much color to the affairs of my country. Perhaps it will take time, and deaths. Our school men have been doing good work. I take off my hat to John A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce University, for he is proving to be the man of the hour, the man for the place, and is doing great work there. There is no doubt but what he will make good, and his selection was a good one. Prof. G. A. Edwards, president of Kittrell College, in North Carolina, is indeed a wonder, and he is doing great work in his section of the country. I am as proud of him as if he were my own son. His election to the presidency meant new life for Kittrell, and I am real proud of him. I would mention the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Durham, N. C., now putting up a new home for the company in Durham, which will be the finest building of its kind in America owned by our people. I shall have more to tell you about it later. I had the pleasure of meeting the President, Dr. A. M. Moore, in Montgomery, N. C. Dr. A. M. Moore, C. C. Spaulding, J. M. Avery, are just like one and they work together like the works in a well regulated clock. I am glad to say that at this time I am still in the world, although some people have died this year who never died before in their lives. We were sorry to learn of the passing out of Hon. John C. Daney, but he came here to remain a short time, but he made good use of the time while he was here on earth, and left a record behind him. Editor W. L. Porter took unto himself a bride, and I have not seen a copy of his paper since. I suppose he is spending his honeymoon among the bees, hence no time for little fries. Wake up, Brother Porter, and let us hear from you. As I tramped over the country during the past month, people have asked me about Olivet Baptist Church, whether or not it had split, and permit me to say right now and forever that Olivet Baptist church has not split, and is not looking that way, and the fellow who said it had a disregard for the truth, and his heart would resemble that hot place where the evil people are going to spend eternity. Rev. L. K. Williams is doing a great work in this city, and he has the love, respect, esteem, and everything else good you want to say of the people of Chicago and vicinity. He is going to entertain the National Baptist Convention next September with the people of Olivet Baptist Church, and other loyal Baptists. I hope during the year, I have been able to get hold of something that was of interest to you. God bless you and keep you to the end. —Charles E. Stump. MR. JOSEPH W. MOORE AND HIS BROTHER, MR.

CONGRESS PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO "UNCLE JOE." Illinois Veteran Breaks Record for Length of Service. Washington—An unusual tribute was paid today by the House of Representatives to Representative Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, who has established a new record for length of service in Congress. "Unele Joe" was all smiles as Champ Clark of Missouri, the Democratic leader, and others told of his accomplishments during his long service. COL. MORRIS LEWIS WANTS TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE OF ILLINOIS. Morris Lewis, through his attorney, Albert B. George, has brought action against Adelbert Roberts, Warren B. Douglas and Garry Noonan, to contest their election to the Legislature from the Third Senatorial District. Mr. Lewis seems to think that he was really elected, and that somehow changed the returns so as to count him out. Noonan is the democrat, and heat lewis is the democrat. When it came his time to talk, Mr. Cannon described the ceremony as a wake, and said he was beginning to wonder if he was not already realizing the hopes of those who desire to return from the other world to communicate with friends still participating in the ordinary affairs of the earth. What Happened in 1872. Many big things happened in 1872, the year he was first elected to congress, not the least of which was a violent eruption of Vesuvius, he said. "Speaker Gillett and Mr. Clark were approaching the polls that year," he said, "and Jim Mann, at 16, was trying to decide whether he would be a farmer or a lawyer. Rainey and Mondell were beginning to figure life in percentages, and the ambitions of Claude Kitchin and Nick Longworth at the age of 3 were centered about their first pants." Had Two "Vacations." Admitting that he had been in congress off and on longer than other members, Mr. Cannon declared he was not the veteran in continuous service. "Gillett, Clark, Mann, Butler, Green of Massachusetts, Moon and Sims rank with me in that line," he added, "because I had two vacations which I did not seek, and those four years were the longest years that have intervened since I first came to Washington." Sending Children to Bed for Punishment. Some parents have the habit of punishing their children for wrong doing by requiring them to go to bed during the daytime. There is danger in such punishment Children who lie in bed unoccupied are likely to develop bad habits. A child should not lie in bed at any time while he is awake unless he is kept busy in some wholesome way. When he is sent to bed for punishment the chances are that he will not be occupied and the consequences are apt to be harmful. So the parents encourage their children to remain in bed and rest after they awaken in the morning. It would be better for them to arise at once. If they really need more rest than they can get from a night's sleep, they should form the habit of taking a nap at a regular time when they are tired and sleepy. Parents who discover that their children have already acquired bad habits from lying in bed unoccupied should explain in a frank but kind way the dangers arising therefrom; such parents should follow this explanation with redoubled efforts to keep the attention of their little ones filled constantly with wholesome thoughts and occupations. Evil habits are probably acquired more largely through the practice of lying in bed awake or being sent to bed for punishment than from any other cause.-Prof. M. V. O'Shea, University of Wisconsin.

COAT WITH CAPE OVER THE BACK Garment Gives the Wearer Much Younger and Less Staid Appearance. Three-Piece Suits Afford Separate Wrap—Popular Model Shows Three-Quarter Length Semi-Blousing Effect There is much to be said for coats with cap backs other than that they are exceedingly fashionable, observes a prominent fashion correspondent. They have the grace of a cap without any of its impractical features. There is the comfort of a good, substantial long coat combined with the artistic outline of the flowing cloak. That the cap is never really absent from fashions proves that it must have some great staying power. There is some reason for women's always wanting it—for it is always finding a ready acceptance. What can this reason be other than its feminine grace? We may prate at length upon the practical in dress, but the practical minus beauty and artistic appeal never finds real favor. The cape has considerable romantic and historical background. This probably bears a subconscious influence in its favor. Coming down to the purely practical, a coat is made much warmer by a cape falling over the back, but I cannot say that this has anything to do with its hold on fashions. It can be claimed, however, that its youthfulness does much for it. Certainly a coat of this type gives its weaker a much younger and less stained appearance than the old-fashioned practical topcoat, which put the finishing touches in more ways than one on a perfectly good-looking costume, for, no matter how smart one's dress and hat might be, the effect was lost through the addition of a prosy looking coat. Where Parisienne and American Agree It may safely be said that the cape coat is one of this winter's greatest successes. It is much favored by both the Parisienne and the American. A most interesting cape from Premat is gray veours de laine, and the lining, which is satin, exactly matches the cloth in color. This coat has practically two capes, as the large collar forms a short shoulder cape at the back. The large cape extends in a point at the back. It falls to within six or eight inches from the bottom of the coat. Another model shows the short cape ```markdown ``` Navy Blue Velours de Laine Coat Trimmed With Bands of Royal Blue Velvet. which Jenny hangs from the top of high muffling collars of fur attached to suit jackets. In this instance the cape is of blue serge, while the collar is of seal. This cape covers the back only. It does not extend over the shoulders, as many do. A coat from Lanvin features the long cape back which is almost the entire length of the coat. A soft shade of gray duvetyn was chosen for this model. There are trimming bands of green appliqué embroidery down both sides of the front, also deep bands of the embroidery on the full sleeve. Cape Back Effects Feature Suit. The plaited cape back, almost in the form of a panel, is novel but not likely to find the favor that the plain cape backs have. Some of the best French makers feature the cape back of fur, not only on long coats but on short box coats, making these cape backs the same length as the coat itself. The cape back effect on suits is also a noted feature. One very attractive model of blue serge has a high moleskin collar, from the back of which hangs a cape reaching to just below the waistline, while the actual jacket, of box cut, falls straight to the hipline and is embroidered around the hem with gold and royal blue threads. The coat fastens with two buttons just below the high fur collar, and again with two buttons at the bottom. Another interesting model is of tobacco brown duvetyn, with the cape O Showing Black Duvetyn Coat Embroidered in Jade Green and Jet Paillettes. back cut in one with the sleeves. This cape is edged with a two-inch band of applique embroidery, the embroidery again appearing down the sides of the coat itself. Heritage of the Middle Ages. A second type of topcoat is that in which the moyen-age effect is carried out. These are of long, straight cut, sometimes with a bodice part hanging straight to just above the knees. This very long-waisted effect, with the upper part of the garment hanging straight, appears to be one of the essential features of this winter's clothes. It has not been carried out, however, in such a marked way in coats, as the means of embodying it in a coat presented considerable difficulty. It was thought at first that what was suitable for a dress was not always adaptable in a coat. Now that coats have become so close akin to frocks, the characteristics of one belong quite as much to the other. One French coat shows a full flounce gathered to the upper portion at this point, thus forming the lower part of the coat. The flounce is cut at intervals in fishbone shape to show velvet underneath, the coat itself being of cloth. The long coats shown by Jenny are of straight cut and in most instances have the belt, or semblance of a belt, placed at a low waistline. This model is developed in navy blue velours de laine trimmed with bands of royal velvet down the right side to the edge of the coat, forming the belt, deep cuffs and high muffling collar. The ornament and tassel, used on one side of the coat only, are of royal blue silk. Paillettes Grow in Favor. Pathelets Grow in Favor. The other coat, inspired by the dress of the middle ages, is developed in black duvetyn, which makes a very smart topcoat. It is embroidered in jade green and jet paillettes. The use of paillettes this season is most pronounced, this form of trimming being featured by a large majority of the leading dressmakers. Preference is given to black paillettes, jet bugles and jet beads, but colors, too, are often features, such as royal blue, dark green, brown and white. Evening wraps are very lovely. Many of them are in cape form and are made of brilliant colored velvets, fir trimmed. These capes are straight cut and wrap the figure closely, there being very little fullness. There are a few capes cut to follow closely the lines of the figure. This sort of cape clips the shoulders like a coat and hangs perfectly straight with no fullness whatever. A large number of three-piece suits have long coats that might almost be worn as a separate wrap. Indeed, so many of the winter jackets are long that it seems hardly worth while to call attention to their increased length. One of the very popular models shows a three-quarter length semi-blousing jacket. The suit is developed in navy blue duvetyn with peasant embroideries in red and brown with touches of fur. Oriental Colors in Negligence Fashion permits every woman to be a vampish "Serpent of the Nile" in the privacy of her own boudoir. The favored robes are of dark-hued brocaded satins encrusted with stenciled flowers of garish hue. Black brocades embroidered in huge gold roses or lotus illies are very ill faut. Trinkets of hammered bronze or copper dingle from girdle and sleeves. Opulence gleams in every fold of these new boudoir robes. Velvet batkins cut a la mandarin come in rich hues of rose and purple, green or orange. Jewelled girdles of roughly cut stones are found on others. Bands of priceless emine or mink garnish others and even the most ordinary negligees are dressed up with trimming of colored brushed wool or rich handings. First Suggestion. "What do you suppose the first quarrel between Adam and Eve was about?" "I guess she pitched into him about raising Caim." Heart Trouble Not Fatal. Heart disease is not the barrier to an active life of usefulness as has always been supposed, said Dr. Frederick Brush to the National Society for the Promotion of Occupational Therapy. Nothing is gained and much lost by telling cardiac patients not to work, not to carry, not to play, and so on. Under proper supervision the person with heart trouble can take a large part in active life. THE BROAD AX. JANUARY 1. 1921. VELVET IN FAVOR VELVET IN FAVOR Soft Fabric Invades the Realm of Evening Gowns. Lovely Creations Evolved Indicate the Material Will Hold Sway Indefinitely. Velvet has invaded the realm of evening gowns, and judging from the way it has been received and from some of the lovely creations evolved, it will remain a favored medium for some time. One gown is of a delicate shade of French blue panne velvet with touches of gold for trimming. The bodice is made on classic lines and is cut so that the wide shoulder straps are included, and there are no seams. Gold ribbon bands circle the arm below the shoulders, the ribbon ends being attached to the top of the bodice. The three-piece skirt has a velvet foundation partially covered by a tunic of heavy mesh gold flat lace, over which is a second tunic of velvet. This is quite short and has a narrow heading at the top and a wider gathered flounce at its lower edge. A narrow gold ribbon ties around it to define the slightly raised waist line, and just below the ribbon is a delicate flower wreath which encircles the gown. Another velvet evening creation would be suitable for a woman of more matronly years. The color scheme is silver and black, worked out with metal lace and black panne. The bodice which is of velvet, is cut in surplus effect, one side of it draping across the other to fasten at the side. The neck is in the shape of a rounded "V," both front and back. Diminutive sleeves of silver lace are attached to a foundation under the velvet. The velvet skirt is draped in a few graceful folds at one side, but 1 Evening Frock of French Blue Panne Velvet, With Gold Lace Tunic. hangs comparatively straight on the other. A tunic of silver lace appears from beneath the draped bodice and hangs obliquely, so that its lower edge is above the velvet drapery on one side of the skirt, but slants down almost to the hem of the undraped side. SUITS FOR WEAR IN COUNTRY Homespuns and Tweeds in Attractive Colorings Make Good-Looking Outfits for General Use. Homespuns and tweeds in the loveliest of colorings make some extremely good-looking suits for winter sports or just general country wear. They will give a warm dash of color to the landscape on days when the ground is covered with snow and the air is chilly. The knickerbocker suit has evidently come to stay. It grows in popularity continually. All the warm red shades and beautiful rose hues are seen in these knickerbocker costumes—quite a departure from the tans and browns of the old-fashioned, substantial-looking tweeds. The trousers usually are made of the checked material, while the coat is of plain color. There may be a hat and scarf to match the jacket. CREPE DE CHINE IS LIKED Fabric Retains Prominence In Frocks Most of Which Have Plaitings In Grand Array. It is not easy to find a frock that is not built of crepe de chine. Even at night crepe predominates. All these frocks have paititings used in a bewildering mixture of lines and scallops. You can distinguish the American from the French woman by the tying of the slender girdle. The former lets it slip carelessly down the figure to preserve the straight line; the latter gives it a smart pull in at the waist, quite plainly defining it. If the crepe de chine is not black, which it is eight times out of ten, it is white, yellow or mauve. The presence of the queen of Roumania in Paris at the presentation of her play, "The Lily of Life," and her constant wearing, of white and mauve started all Paris toward both colors An Extravagant Dresser. The late czar of Russia had the reputation of being the most extravagant of European monarchs as regards dress. The bill of his civil tailor is said to have bordered on $10,000 a year, and that of the military tailor, $15,000. FILET-IRISH AND GOT WOR MARY MAY To fit the fashionable neck line stores are showing this exquisite collar of Fillet-Irish and cutwork embroidery that fastens, oddly enough, at the back. STOCKINGS TO MATCH SHOES Knitted Hosiery of Heavy Silk Much In Demand for Wear With Sports Clothes. Stockings this year are being worn to match the shoes or the dress, but more frequently the shoes. The taupe color which was worn so much in Paris last season has not attained the same popularity here, and today the popular fancy is either for black or for brown, fawn, gray or tete de negre. Of these negre is undoubtedly the most popular. With sports clothes knitted stockings of heavy silk are much in demand, and these are invariably ribbed. Cashmere hose in heather mixture in the one-and-one rib are much liked, but the_brightly colored fleecy hose are only a passing craze in some quarters and will certainly not be universally adopted. That sports shoes this coming spring will match in color the sweaters worn with them is a prediction recently made by some of the leading shoe houses, but there are occasions of course for which they cannot be worn. Among the afternoon slippers one notices a great many bronze ones, either strapped or with colonial tongues, finished off with ribbon bows or beaded bronze buckles. TO WASH DELICATE FABRICS Soapbark, Starch Water or Bran Water Advised by Government Home Economics Specialists. When the action of soap is likely to injure a delicate color, use soapbark, starch water, or bran water, advise home economics specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Soapbark, although not a soap, when heated in water will form suds. To prepare it for use, boll for ten minutes a cup of the bark with 1 quart of water; then cool and strain the liquid. The "soapy" water may be used full strength for the sponging, or diluted for washing; half of this amount is enough for $ \frac{1}{2} $ tub of water. Since the liquid is brownish, it should be used only on dark colored goods. Starch water is especially good for cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This is usually made by adding thin starch paste to the wash water. Water in which rice has been boiled, if it is not discolored, may be used instead. If it is not desirable to have the material starched slightly, it must be rinsed in salt water: Bran water, made in the same way as soapbark solution, is useful with colors that are likely to fade. It does not give suds, but cleans like starch water. PLUSH USED INSTEAD OF FUR Material Affords Most Unusual Effects In Trimming for Suits, Dresses, Skirts. In trimmings we have as great a latitude as in materials. Plush-like fabrics are profusely used in lieu of fur. Most unusual are the effects obtained by the application of huge plush flowers to suits and dresses. They may cover an entire suit skirt and reappear on the jacket at the hips, collar and cuffs. Enormous puffs of plush are used to form large collars as well as to edge the bottoms of coats. In contrast to these heavy trimmingss are the airy French flower girdles that young girls are wearing on their party frocks. They are seen on silver or delicately tinted ribbons, and the most exquisite color effects are obtained through their use. The flowers may be strewn along the edge of a ribbon girdle which is little more than a thread of color. Small, dainty flowers such as moss rose buds and marguerites are chosen for these girdles. The silver ribbons with plot edges in color make attractive girdles of this sort. The color of the edge is brought out again in the flowers scattered over the ribbon. Golden Brown Oxfords. A golden brown is the preferred shade for street oxfords. Goodness Always Influential. No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure and good without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness—Phillips Brooka.

Countless Ways of Draping and Each One Is Very Much in the Mode. The enthusiasm over vells continues unabated. It has reached the point where it might also be termed a frenzy. Women have taken vells so seriously that they spend hours adjusting them. Never in the history of the world has the veil been in such high favor. The matter of draping it has come to be an art. There are countless ways and each one very much in the mode. This is one part of dress in which women may be individual. The more so, the better. Just as no two people draw alike, no two do any piece of drapery in the same way, and this applies to vells. The day when the veil was worn just as its name implies, as something to shadow the faces and flatter the wearer by concealing any traces of weariness or to soften the effect of rouge and powder, has passed. While it is still worn for these purposes, its principal role today is that of a graceful piece of drapery. It would never be possible to put one's personality into the wearing of a hat or dress as into the wearing of a veil. Every woman has a deft little way of her own in its arrangement. In this the greatest originality prevails. The flowing veil may be of almost any length. Some veils hang almost to the bottom of the skirt and many well down around the hips. At the front they may merely conceal the orbs, come just over the nose, or fall to the knees. Hats of bright colors or beautiful light shades of brown are shadowed by huge black chantilly lace veils. Embroidered tulle takes its place with the laces and the nets of hexagon mesh. The color of the veil is a matter to be given consideration. Black is the favorite. Then come browns and the shade known as blond. Very little white is used. When it appears at all it is among the novelties. Women have been known, in their devotion to this fashion, to appear in white veils that reach to their knees.

Lingerie makes much use of ribbons. Gray will be a favorite color for spring. Costumes are flat and tight at the back. Evening headdresses have disappeared. Paisley effects in trimming are returning. New fur coats are cut on redingote lines. Scarlet enamel buttons appear on a gray coat. White pelican is a smart trimming for hats. Many coats are a combination of fur and velvet. Tailored blouses are made of crepe de chine. The bodice of crepe molds snugly to the figure. A combination of gray and green is favored in suits. White blouses have collars and cuffs of solid color. Multicolored striped taffeta trims a serge dress. Round and scarf vells are replacing the square vells. The long-waisted bodice may give the tunic effect. An imitation leather fabric is used to line topcats. Black lace over taffeta is a favored combination. Triangular-shaped panels are a new whim of fashion. Fur-faced and cut brims are smart millinery notes. Black serge is embroidered in white porcelain beads. Imported fabrics are in bold and eccentric design. Canada - I'RE BREAKING IN CANADA.

William visited grandma, but was not permitted to touch the breakable articles in the house. At the arrival of his mother he said: "Let's go home, ma. Everything in this house is 'don't touch.'"

He came in the house one day after playing with two little girls, one of whom had red hair, and sald, "Mother, the girl with the tan hair is very cross."

The father, while reading, was wiggling the floor lamp and Alice spoke up: "You know mamma does not want you to play with that lamp."

Wonderful Vatican Library The Vatican library is the most sumptuously boused of all libraries, and contains some of the rarest manuscripts in existence. The printed books include over 2,500 volumes issued in the Fifteenth century, many of them vellum copies. The library is said to contain over 220,000 volumes and 30,000 manuscripts. The Deadly Arrow A mounted Indian or white man with bow and arrows sometimes could kill more buffaloes than a man could kill with a rifle, says the American Forestry Magazine. At close range the arrow was as deadly as the bullet. It made less noise, and arrows could be discharged four times as rapidly as bullets from muzzle-loading guns. American Shrub Appreciated One American shrub which has been received with great appreciation in England, and which grows well there is the gorgeous flame azalea, called by the botanists azalea calendulaceum. This plant was sent to Europe many years ago, and perhaps is not grown so widely now as it has been in the past owing to the great infux of rhododendron varieties. E.
