The Temporary Home of the Nurses of the FortDearborn Hospital,3818Grand Boulevard Bombed; Several of the Nurses Being More or Less Injured The Colored People in This City Are in a Pitiful or Deplorable Condition, In Relation to Bombing of Their Homes, for Their So-Called Leaders Seem to Be Indifferent or Bewildered When It Comes Down to Planning Any Relief for Them A NON-PARTISAN JUDICIAL TICKET HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORTH BY THE DENEEN-BRUNDAGE WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE LEADERS OF THE DEMOCATIC PARTY. VOL. XXVI The Tempore Boulevard The Colore In Relat Seer A NON-PARTISAN JUDIC BROUGHT FORTH BY WING OF THE REPU LEADERS OF THE DEM It was the fond hope of the colored people residing on the south side—those whose homes are liable to be bombed at any hour of the day or in the dark hours of the night—that something tangible would be accomplished in the way of detecting or running down the bombers after they had become so bold or daring to enter a strictly colored neighborhood and bomb the home of Hon. Oscar De Priest some four weeks ago, regardless of the fact that he served as alderman of the second ward and stands ace high with Mayor William Hale Thompson, the chief of police, with all of the other big city officials and with Hon. Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney of Cook county. But as nothing to all outward appearances has been accomplished in that direction, the bombers made up their minds that they would give the colored people another shaking up right in a district where thousands of them reside and, on Monday evening, they just for the fun of it, or in order to furnish some amusement for that neighborhood, bombed the building at 3818 Grand blvd, the first floor being occupied by the nurses of the Fort Dearborn hospital, which is located almost right in the rear of it at 3831 Vernon avenue. The bomb was placed in the hallway of the building, right up against the south inner wall of the rooms occupied by the fifteen nurses. The wall and all of the main floor of the building was destroyed or wrecked, causing a loss of more than $3,000, and all the nurses were thrown from their beds, as well as the others residing in the building—a white family living on the top floor, for prior to the Fort Dearborn hospital passing under the control of colored people the white nurses occupied the same quarters which the colored nurses occupied at the time of the explosion of the deadly bomb. The following nurses in being roughly tossed from their beds in the midst of falling plaster, were more or less severely injured: Miss Corinne Lyles, Miss Josephine Mae Harris, and Miss Lillian Wood. It was the greatest wonder in the world that all of the nurses were not thrown headlong into eternity without one moment's warning. In passing, it might not be out of place to state that the Fort Dearborn hospital does not draw any "color line" and it always has almost as many white patients as it has colored patients and if the colored nurses are going to be murdered in cold blood for waiting on white patients, then seemingly it is only a question of time until an attempt will be made to bomb the Fort Dearborn hospital and attempt to kill its white and colored patients on the theory that their wounds and sufferings should not be administered to by colored nurses and that their pains and great distress or agony should not be relieved by colored doctors. It does seem to us that Hon. E. H. Wright, Republican Committeeman of the 2nd Ward and one of the eminent attorneys for Mayor Thompson's Traction Commission who has the ear of the chief executive of this city to a greater extent than any other colored man residing within its broad walls; Hon. Oscar De Priest who also stands close up to Mayor Thompson, Hon. Louis B. Anderson, the acknowledged Thompson floor leader in the City Council; Hon. Robert R. Jackson one of the firm and strong supporters of Mayor Thompson and Hon. James A. Scott, Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County who also ranks with the above distinguished leaders by virtue of the more than one hundred and fifty thousand colored people residing in this city, should request a few of the rank and file of the colored people, those who are unable to feast on sweet milk and honey and the other good things every day to join THE BROAD AX with them in a delegation and call on Mayor Thompson and firmly inform him that the colored people have loyally stood by him at each election since 1915, that it was their votes that brought about his election in that year and his re-election in 1919 and greatly assisted him in his great fight in the spring of 1920 and made it possible for him and his white camp followers to march on to victory in the memorable state primary fight in September 1920. The head orator of the delegation after concluding his manly statement along these lines, should inform Mayor Thompson to the effect that for the past four or five years some gentlemen residing in this city have experienced much pleasure in bombing the houses of decent and law abiding colored people endangering their lives and destroying thousands of dollars worth of their property which they have been struggling to pay for and to pay, the taxes on the same, that in one instance a little colored girl was killed by the explosion of one of the death dealing bombs, that in view of these facts, that they humbly request Mayor Thompson to send for his chief of police and instruct him right then and there in their presence that it is up to him to send his best men out after the bombers and that bomb throwing must come to an end in Chicago at any cost; that the lawless element in that direction must not be permitted any longer to rule over the great city of Chicago. The same delegation should call on Hon. Robert E. Crowe and manfully talk to him along the same line for prior to his election as State's Attorney he promised the colored people many times in his firey oratons that if the colored people would assist to elect him to the office which he was seeking, and they did, that he would put an end to the bombing of their homes in this city and this delegation of eminent leaders of the colored race in Chicago should plainly and firmly urge him to make good in that respect. At the same time Alderman Louis B. Anderson as the floor leader for Mayor Thompson in the City Council should secure the passage of a resolution offering a reward of from ten to twenty-five thousand dollars for the arrest and conviction of any of the bomb throwers in Chicago. The first of this week the following candidates were selected to make the race for Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County on the nonpartisan judicial ticket. The "sitting judges' ticket," as unanimously nominated, with the names in the order in which they will appear on the ballot, follows: Girecit Court—Judge George Kersten, Dem.; Judge David F. M.

Majors It is all very good to want to dress well, and look well, and have people to feel that you may get what you want because you want them to feel that you are able to get what you want. But it is all one infernal and foolish notion. Suppose you would just appear very plain and ordinary for a year or two, meanwhile saving your money. After a while the money you've saved would pay enough interest to keep you looking well and dressed well, besides you then would be able to dress well and have what you want, and it would not then be an infernal and foolish show. It would be no more than you could afford. Reader, weve tried it and we know how well it works. When you get money, you seem to feel all dressed up anyhow, because you are independent and you don't give a rap for the thoughts of frivolous people. The fool spends all he makes on his back and his stomach. He lives only to dress up and to eat up. Living a useful life, beneficial to others, is out of his line. But, say, when you dress yourself up and parade before the mirror, forget about your looks for a moment and remember what a good woman your mother was, and how your dear old father worked himself to death trying to make something out of you. HON. KICKHAM SCANLAN best and most honorable Repub- lism who is running on the non- pction, Tuesday, June 6. For ei- nd faithfully served the people Circuit Court bench, and there section at the forthcoming judici Back up a few feet and let a bigger fool than you are get the spotlight. My, but it is costly to stay in the spotlight! To be popular and to lead in styles, and spend all of your earnings, merely to make people be- lieve you are beyond the reach of want. And, after all, who is really benefited? The merchant is the only one benefited. Your friends doubt your honor, and discredit you because they can't dress quite as well as you do. With their limited capital they say it can't be done; that Mr. So and only makes so much a month, and my husband makes more than her husband. Besides, I make a drest occasionally, and I can't wear furs, diamonds and give fifty dollars for a new dress every month. Dressing is all very well if you can afford it. If you have your home paid for and can keep up a good life insurance, then you can afford to dress. But dressing should in no case become the chief object of any one's life. The fact is we are all supposed to be well entrenched with a bank account and then we have good reason to want to look like somebody, because you are somebody. THIS IS DREADFUL Detroit, Mich.—Women of Detroit, old and young, smoke and drink more than ever before, and use profanity, gamble and dress indecently, according to statements of the Women's Auxiliary, made to the presiding bishops and council of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Michigan. "This is a day for revelation. It is true that smoking, gambling and drinking never were so prevalent among Detroit women." It seems that the dear sweet ladies all over the country have fully made up their minds to be more than manish in their conduct at all times, and if they continue in their maddened career in that respect, it will be only a question of a few years until many of them will appear in public devoid of all clothing—Editor GOVERNOR WILL PUSH FIGHT ON GEORGIA PEONAGE Atlanta, Ga.—Gov. Dorsey has announced that he would call upon every state's attorney to prosecute all cases of alleged mob violence and cruelty to Negroes and would do all in his power to "bring the real situation in Georgia before its citizens" and co-operate with federal officials in their peonage investigations. Charges that at least three Negroes were killed on a southern Georgia plantation to prevent their being called as witnesses in peonage investigations are being investigated by the local bureau of investigation of the department of justice and J. B Stribling, a Pike County farmer, has been indicted here charged with peonage. Vineent Hughes, head of the local bureau of investigation, said the department would send as many as fifty men from Washington to cover every angle of the peonage conditions. THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF PENN. SYLVANIA DEFEATED THE EQAUL RIGHTS BILL. Philadelphia, Pa.-The Civil Rights Bill which passed the House last week by an overwhelming majority was defeated in the Senate. It will be remembered that no colored man was a member of the Senate to look after the interest of the bill as was the case in the House. Race men in the State are starting now in a movement to put a race man in the Senate two years from now, that their rights may be properly looked after. It is well to mention however, that there were a large number of whites who favored the bill, who were afraid LOVELY OR BEAUTIFUL WOMAN; IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ALONG WITH HER, AND IT IS HARD TO GET ALONG WITHOUT HER. BY DR. M. A. MAJORS Man is simply a provider, nothing much more than that. Woman is the machinery and perpetual motion that has applied herself to the great world's needs and she has not stinted, or surrendered her duty. She is always above her male associates in whatever station it may be. She is nobler and more sincere in her humanity and that is why this is so. For sixty years she waged a fight against the bestial and infamous habits of man to beastalize himself with drink. She fought with fixed determination the slave oligarchy and contended for woman's rights, and a legal privilege the equal to man as a citizen. All these she accomplished, not by physical might, but by the force of her genius, the splendor of her truth, the nobility of her cause. Everything she has taken cognizance of has been helped or hindered. Without Josephine the great life star of Napoleon faded from the view of the public gaze, and he was condemned to die a wretched death in exile. Without Joan of Arc, there would be not Parthenon or Elysee and France today would be another Ireland struggling against the tyranny of British rule. Helen of Troy, Victoria, Elizabeth, Madame de Stael, Cleopatra, Queen of Sheba and a host of women whose names are written in history, have emblazoned the brilliant corridors of wisdom and left the impress of their genius upon the lofty summits. She has rocked the cradle, and ruled the world. She has made it decent and habitable and she has immersed the rough soul of the ugliest human creatures in the gentle springs of her purity and banished the crude, uncouth and horrible spirit of mankind forever. Today mother, wife and sweetheart take precedence over anything in our languages, habits, or customs, and woman has brought about the great change because she is the greater part of God today, as He is manifesting Himself in the Flesh. The wonderful reformations among mankind, all tending upwards to bring man into a sweeter realm of perpetual joy and happiness, were not accidental, nor hinged upon notions that were fatuious, but woman's achievements embody the great progress of mankind because she has suffered, sacrificed, and struggled, fought and died to make us a Paradise on this mundane sphere. As an object of our love and reference, she is man's idol. For the to come out in the open. At the same time there was a deal of Southern sentiment working for its defeat. THE ANDERSON-ROGERS NUPTIAL Wednesday Miss Jessica Anderson, the highly educated, accomplished and beautiful daughter of Alderman and Mrs. Louis B. Anderson, 2821 S. Wabash avenue, was happily united in marriage, to Mr. Albert Rogers, in the presence of a large circle of friends of the contracting parties. Rev. Father Simons, pastor of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, performed the wedding ceremony. It was one of the most gorgeous or elaborate weddings ever held among the weakest and the most distinguished Afro-Americans residing in Chicago. Miss Anna Bell Anderson, relative of the charming bride and Miss Katie Kennedy, were the bridesmaids. The house was artistically decorated in honor of the happy event. Towards the close of the reception the bride and groom disappeared on a secret honeymoon trip. PART II tender reaches and sympathetic ministrations she is man's ideal. The acme of the world's hope in matters of refinement and social contact. As far as our intellects will carry, and as picturesque our imaginations can reveal, she is the center of the beautiful and gorgeous, the very magnet attracting towards her shrine the king, the rulers of dynasties, courts, the parliaments, of earth. The king, although he may rule over mighty empires, his queen bears the scepter, and he is her supplicant. The progress of mankind, the happiness of the world, the peace, the joy and treasure of Midas is attributed to her healing spirit. Her smile and her tears strike terror in the heart of monarchs and assuage havoc. Her innocence and helplessness stand as sentinels to guard the giant causeways to human nobility. She is not the weaker sex, and if she were not the stronger sex this old world would have long ago gravitated to savagery, or dwindle into a chaos that almost staggers the imagination. Woman's rightful place is a seat almost alongside of the angels, but when she falls to certain depths of human deprivation she loses caste too fearful to contemplate. Beauty and ornamentation as well as virtue and character belong to her alone. We call man great woman beautiful; we call man admirable, woman sweet and pure. She need not be the wisest, but the purest; not the greatest, but the best. She is the teacher, and her elementary knowledge fits in precisely as mother and molder of men. Her tenderness and gentle spirit approximate the loftiest reaches of humanity at the door of the nursery, and she maintains her steadfast and fixed place of supremacy, even at the grave. Man is mechanical and metallic, woman is spiritual and musical. She is built of finer fabric, richer blood stream, finer senses, and a sympathetic nervous system that humanizes the races of men. Women are honored, men are respected: women adored and worshiped, fought for, and died for. She has truth for innocent lips, love for a trustful heart, and she smiles away the clouds of doubts and fears; and in her gentle speech turns disappointment into success, sorrow into joy, woe into happiness. She has done it, no one can do it but woman, and she will forever continue to carry out the noble mission God has assigned to her. The newly married couple were the recipients of many useful, rare and costly presents. November 20, 1920, Dr. Dan Cupid informed us that Miss Anderson would become one of the early spring brides, and as it was exclusively announced in these columns at that time, and strongly denied by at least one of the high contracting parties, Dr. Dan Cupid knew what he was talking about and he did not fail us and no one wishes Mr. and Mrs. Rogers more happiness and greater success throughout their married life, than the writer.

IS CHICAGO ASLEEP? N. A. A. C. P. Membership Drive Starts It cannot be possible that Chicago has not awakened to the attempt to renew interest in the important and necessary work of the N. A. A. C. P. Last Sunday's meeting, at the large Pilgrim Baptist church, where the management had assembled a fine array of platform talent, such as Eugene J. Marshall, Capt. R. A. J. Shaw, Dr. S. E. J. Watson, Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts, Dr. Carl G. Roberts and Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., the attendance was not in keeping with the importance of the occasion, though ample advertising preceded the meeting. It seems that the charge of dynamite at the residence of former Ald. Oscar De Priest and the advent of the Ku Klux men above the Mason and the Ku Xlux line, has not sounded loud enough to arouse the people. Chicago Challenged! It is hoped by the officers of the Chicago branch that what was lacking in attendance last Sunday will be made up in manifold measure as the "drive" progresses and that at its close the 10,000 memberships asked for will have been enrolled. Such fine workers as Dr. I. H. Hollaway on the west side, Mrs. Georgia DeBaptiste Ashburn on the north side, William H. Sheridan in Englewood and Miss Estelle Arnold on the south side, in charge as majors in the various sections, must certainly bring about the results looked for from them.

Continuation of the due and orderly delivery of milk, bread, and meat, the triumvirate of the table was up for discussion at three separate meetings of union drivers: The Milk Wagon Drivers' Union, Local No. 753, in an open gathering of Car Men's Hall voted down three propositions to readjust wages and working conditions which had been offered by the Illinois Milk Dealers' Association. The Bakery Drivers' Union, Local No. 734, at a meeting at 175 W. Washington street, decided to stand pat on $45 a week and refused to consent to a $5 decrease in wages. The Packing House Drivers' Union in a closed meeting at Sullivan's Hall, 47th street and Princeton avenue, drew up a counter proposition to the packers' announcement of a 15 per cent decrease in pay from $31.50 a week. Offers to Milk Drivers The milk drivers' wage committee reported on three offers from the dealers. They were: To renew the present contract on the existing basis of $41 a week minimum, with commission of 0.6 cent for each pint over 190 delivered and 1 cent a pound for butter and 1 cent a dozen for eggs. A six day plan on $35 a week basis without vacation and short day on Thursdays. To submit all matters to arbitration. After the drivers decided to reject all the propositions William A. Meer, secretary and treasurer of the union, declared an effort would be made to reach an agreement with the bosses. Bakers Talk Strike The wage cut for the bakery drivers is supposed to go into effect Monday. Martin De Vries, business agent, said the vote of the men last night would be presented to the master bakers and an effort made to reach an agreement. If the master bakers insist on a wage cut a strike is in prospect, he said. The bakers reduced the price of bread several days ago on the theory that the wages would be cut.

Chinnin, known on two occasions as "Fighting Jack," has resigned from the National Guard after having been relieved of his command of the 6th Infantry, Illinois National Guard, and being placed on the unassigned list. He sent his resignation to Adjt. Gen. F. S. Dickson last Tuesday, but last night had heard nothing in reply. "I quit because I believe my removal from active duty is a political move on the part of the Lundin-Thompson machine because of my support of Gov. Frank O. Lowden, John Oglebsy, and Senators McCormick and McKinley," Col. Chinnin said. "I believe it is also in retaliation for the rebuke administered to Mayor Thompson in my letter resigning from the corporation counsel's office at the outbreak of war in 1917." In this letter Col. Clinnin related that he was going to join his regiment to fight "against all enemies of my country, whether they are beyond the confines of the United States or within its territory," and continued: "After reading your alleged criticism of the federal authorities for urging the conscript law, which all authorities agree is for the best interests of our country, and your studied discourtesy to the representative of the French nation, I deem it my duty as a soldier and a citizen to tender my resignation, to take effect at once." "The 6th Infantry," Col. Clinnin said last night, "has been changed into six companies of coast artillery corps, anti-aircraft, Maj. Francis W. Parker, a former officer in the reserve militia, without war experience, has been placed in command."—From the Chicago Tribune. April 29, 1921. MARBYING THIEF RAIDS 3 HOMES TO OUTPUT BRIDE. Ring, Trousseau, Gift, All Is Complete. Burglarls, according to the common belief, merely burgle for the sake of profit or because they have the burgling mania. However, Norwood was visited early Thursday by a burglar who apparently had another purpose—the achieving of matrimony. With his future wife in mind, he proceeded after the following manner: Engagement ring—Entering the home of Louis S. Childs, pioneer Chicago stationer, who lives at 5822 E. Circle avenue, the burglar helped himself to a solitaire which undoubtedly was the right size and design. He also took some child's clothing. Then he proceeded to acquire burglarizing a Troussieu—This outfit belonged to Miss Laura A. Rich of 5820 E. Circle avenue. She is engaged to Carl B Roden, librarian at the Chicago Public Library, and they are to be married within a few days. Having annexed the trousseau, the burglar said to himself, Ho! for a Wedding present—This essential to a happy marriage he obtained at the home of J. J. Manning, 5834 Nickerson avenue. It was a set of silverware and probably will delight the burglar's bride exceedingly. The police are watching the churches. DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MRS MAMIE ODOM Sunday evening at 9:40 Mrs. Mamie Odom, 3733 Forest avenue, who was born and raised in this city, receiving her education in it, and in which she had a wide circle of friends of long standing, peacefully closed her eyes in death after a long spell of illness. Mrs. Odom, always possessed a sunny and cheerful disposition and looked on the bright side of life. Funeral services were held over her remains at 1:30 o'clock p. m. Wednesday at Grace Presbyterian church, Rev. Moses H. Jackson officiating; Charles S. Jackson, funeral director, in charge. Interment, Graceland cemetery. The floral offerings from kind and loving friends were numerous and very beautiful. Mrs. Odom is survived by her devoted husband, Mr. Edward Odom; her daughter, Miss Laura A.

For five hours Thursday night Willie Doody, 18, entertained Chief of Detectives Hughes and others at the bureau by confessing details of several hundred crimes, including the $12,000 robbery of the Summit State Bank, April 12, the shooting of Policeman Thomas D. Fallon the same day and the fiaseo-holdup of the Cicero State Bank April 15. Doody, who admitted being leader of a gang, confessed that he and his 'men'—all about his own age—had robbed scores of Standard and Sinclair Oil Company filling stations. He told of dozens of highway robberies and described a number of holdups in tea stores operated by the Atlantic & Pacific Co. He bragged of the method by which his "gang" had beaten their helpless victims. He mentioned innumerable automobiles which he and his associates had stolen. Police Believe His Story. And the strange part of his confession is, according to Chief of Detectives Hughes, that every word of it is true. Detail by detail his stories were cheeked against complaint records. There was absolute coineidence. Joseph Brennan, one of Doody's pals, was arrested Thursday. Within two hours Peter Donovich got out of a taxicab at the Detective Bureau and asked to Brennan, Donovich, wanted for the theft of his father's automobile and $1,500, was arrested. Detective Sergeant Alcock, who recognized in Donovich up associate of an unknown criminal wanted for many erimes, hurried to the street and found Doody peeking from behind the taxicab. This was at 5 o'clock Thursday evening. Boy Puts Up Fight. The boy bandit, recognizing the detective, put up a fearful struggle, Hundreds of men and women, passing the bureau on their way home, encircled the battlers. Sergt. Aleck tried to use his gun, but did not dare because of the throng. He subdued the prisoner only after taking a severe beating himself. "I stole the automobile we used in the Summit Bank job from the West Park Commissioners," Doody bragged. "Besides myself there were three others in the gang. Remember, there were three employees and four customers in the bank. We split the proceeds, about $10,000, four ways." Beats Train; Escapes.

As we approached the crossing, going seventy miles an hour, a big passenger train was rushing on. I was driving. I took a chance. Our car cleared the tracks just a second before the train flashed by. But the cops had to wait. "That train saved us." Dooody said he participated in the planning of, but not in the actual attempt, at robbery of the Cieero Bank, Joseph Zromski, one of the banks in this effort, was killed. Another, John Karsha, was shot eight times. Two others were captured. The fifth escaped. Four in Fallon Shooting Named Dooody named his companions and members of his gang who are still in large. He named four who participated in the shooting of Policeman Pallio, who had followed a suspicious appear in car into an alley. He named the man who escaped following the Cieero Bank holdup and his three companions in the robbery of the Summit Bank.

IN TAILOR-MADES Little Jacket Feature of New ‘Spring Outfits. - ‘Garment Is Jaunty and Winsome Af. fair of Fairly Straight and Unfitted Lincs. ‘Close beside the spring tailleur of Classic lines, and guiltless of braiding ox trimming, there appears this spring that perky little dressy suit so uncon. ventional in many ways. The new little jackets are called by the French “paletots sacs,” and they are jaunty little affairs of fairly Straight and unfitted lines. They end ‘at just about the waistline, unbelted, but left loose and rippling where they are finished. Jean Patou shows the paletot sac that is quite short with a wavy line At the bottom that rather slumps to- ward the back than otherwise, A sult of this type is made of moroccan crepe tn very dark blue faced with silk print- ed in the designs and colors of a cash- mere shawl. The little Jacket, by the way, Is reversible and is well suited in either role to the little one-plece frock that is designed to be worn with tt. ‘Most of these short coats are made to accompany the one-piece dress canons ten separate Vinson oft its skirt to match the coat. times, indeed, the coat buttons to the frock instead of being fastened to- gether, as is the time-honored way with coats either long or short. Often the Upper section of the dress is made of some lighter material than the M Sormg 4 ‘alieur Soveleped in Stue lower section which matches the coat, and again the whole frock may be of & heavy silk, while the coat is of some woolen fabric matching it in color. Indeed, at most of the couturieres there are to be seen these two dis- tinct types of street suits for spring— one that is strictly tailored, having s coat that reaches the knees or even below that line, and the other that in come way shows a fanciful little coat or one of the shorter capes. CREPE DE CHINE IS POPULAR Fabric Strongly Featured in French Capital and Is Expected to ‘Assert Sway Here. Crepe de chine at present is one of the most featured frock fabrics in the French capital and undoubtedly it will aseert Its sway in this country. It is also one of the most durabie of lingerie materials and trimmed with point de Paris, or Calais lace or tucked in the more tailored modes fashions some of the smartest of undergarments. Crepe satin, radium, gros de Londre and georgette are other fabrics, while Carrickmacross, rose filet and Irish erochet are laces in vogue as trim- mings. Besides white and flesh, such shades as raspberry, neptune green, honeydew and Jonquil are popular. ‘The Parisian is very partial to the Jong chemise or princess silp. Some ‘of these are developed in georgette with many rows of plaits, others are trimmed with lace, filet and Calais, the lace often being cascaded trom the hips and draping to the hem. Pitlted satin ribbon is used to form the bodice on some of the newest slips, the skirt asually being of georgette under lace. ve Firet Studies of the Human Body. _ Karly studies in human anatomy were conducted under many diffical- ties.

STYLE FOR EVENING GOWNS Paris Mode Permits of Broad indi- vidualism in Selection of Gan ments for Fermal Wear. ‘From the spring openings in Paris comes the report that the style for evening gowns continues to be “eclec- tique,” which being Interpreted Into crude American slang means each fel low for himself and each in his own way. There is much to be sald In favor of this, for it gives a large va- riety from which to make a choice ‘and {t allows that trend toward indi- ‘vidualism in dress to have full and uninterrupted sway. The Parisian designer this season, It seems, has ac- complished every manner of style and hes drawn for his ideas upon every source of inspiration. Polret, for instance, has done a great deal in the way of Spanish eve- ning gowns which show panniers bulg- tng out over the hips in many and voluminous folds. A frequent decol- lete is termed “The Empress £u- genie,” and when the sort of gown 1s cut very low, as It often is, there are delicate metal chains used to slip over the shoulders and to hold the gown in Place. At this house, too, there ts to be seen another evening fashion which discloses completely one shoulder and which has a point of the draped fab- rie reaching over the other shoulder, leaving the back quite free from cov- ‘ering. Over the uncovered shoulder & ‘strap slips to hold the gown In place. It Is the evening gown which was dest liked in Paris during the winter season and which Poiret has seen fit to repeat, as has also the house of Madeleine et Madeleine. Madeleine et Madeleine have a fas cinating evening gown of metal bro- cade in Persian colorings. One arm {is left entirely without a sleeve of any sort and the other one is covered with ropes of pearls wound about to form a sleeve tightly @tting and to tally transparent. ‘The Oriental Influence dominates all of the gowns shown by Patou. The robe called “Cleopatra.” as its name suggests, is wholly Egyptian in char- acter. It has a belt of metal orna- ments set with carbuneles. Another termed “Princesse Persane” is of tulle braided in gold. Interspersed with green and gold threads. FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST A fine black lace frock has a tunic of biack ostrich fringe. Pokes and smart bow trimmed hats are prominent in the spring showings. Some of the new skirts shown in Paris are only a “jlounce” fastened to an elongated bodice. Appliques of colored leather are seen on pumps of patent leather. Gray and “honeydew,” a shade deep- ex than apricot, is @ smart combina- thon. While many drooping effects are seen on the spring millinery, some ex- tremely high effects are also prom nent. Reports from abroad acclaim the Ceeply fringed shaw! as the favored evening wrap. Handkerchief draped panels are chic on a white tulle gown. Leather, lingerie and colored pique are seen in French walstcoats and Dlouses, Unique Camisole. ‘White or light-colored silk stock Ings, worn at the heels or toes, may be used for a “dainty camisole” by re- moving the feet and cutting the upper parts along the back seam. Use lace three inches wide for the top of the camisole, also to join the two pleces of silk together In the back. Ribboo for shoulder straps helps to make it tind Oil in North America.
