Friday morning several prominent personages were invited in to address the session at the Wendell Phillips THE BROAD AX high school, and Mr. Frank L. Gillespie, president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, was among that number, and he made a short and highly interesting talk pertaining to life insurance. At that same session, which did not end until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Dr. George M. Cattrell, National Grand Secretary-Treasurer, was empowered to deposit two thousand dollars of the money belonging to the order in the Binga State Bank of Chicago, and to invest some of its other funds in some shares of the capital stock of the bank.

Mr. Ernest Patillo, National Deputy Grand Master, wended his way to the platform and after rapping three times with his gavel for order, he held up a copy of this paper and stated that The Broad Ax contained the best and the most elaborate account of the various sessions of their order and that a big stack of the papers was on hand for sale at five cents per copy, and Mrs. Julia Cordell of St. Louis, Mo., National Grand Inspector of Finance, sat at the table and received the money from the sale of the papers, and even assisted National Grand Deputy Master Patillo to sell the papers and every cent of the money was turned over to the writer by Mrs. Cordell, and we wish to heartily thank her for assisting in that direction and in less than 20 minutes more than five hundred and fifty extra copies of The Broad Ax were sold. National Grand Master Fields ordered one hundred copies for himself. Saturday morning a resolution was passed at the last session held at the Union Masonic Hall, 3956 South State street, thanking Julius F. Taylor for devoting so much space in the columns of The Broad Ax in relation to the proceedings of the National Grand Council. After passing other resolutions and transacting much important business, and just before Rev. T. L. Scott, the National Grand Chaplain, was ready to conduct the annual memorial services, he was presented with a beautiful finger ring by his bosom friend, National Grand Master Fields, the ring is richly engraved with the emblems of the order and National Grand Chaplain Scott, who is the eloquent and up-to-date pastor of the Grant Memorial A. M. E. church, 4600 Evans avenue, this city, is very proud of his new ring and his National Grand Master. Just as Rev. Scott finished his memorial services and forty-two dollars had been raised for the benefit of the soldiers who are confined in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kas, the first annual juvenile session of the order was held and a splendid program was rendered by the boys and girls taking part in it.

SHRINERS MEETING AT ST LOUIS, MO. WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. Arabic Temple No. 44, Made a Wonderful and Successful Fight. Attorney A. L. Williams Made a Great Hit Before the Council. (Special to The Broad Ax.) The National Conclave of the Imperial Council of the A.E.A.O.N.M.S. met at St. Louis, Mo. last week. Delegates from all over the United States, Canada and South America made an impressive and educational sight to be seen. Among them came men of the leading walks of life, in every description. Lawyers, doctors, ministers, editors, writers, agents, merchants, agriculturalists, manufacturers, superintendents, etc. The brains of the race seems to have been in this meeting. Heretofore it seems that Chicago, representing Arabic Temple No. 44, the largest Temple in the world, took a back seat, but at this session it can be said she redeemed herself beyond a doubt, and opened the eyes of the world to its grandeur, ability, and nobility. It seemed that at this august Council the grievances of Chicago comprised the major part of the proceedings. Arabic Temple No. 44, sent to represent it sixteen delegates, to witt Noble Stewart C. Jefferson, Illustrious Potentate, Noble Frank D. Crenshaw, Chief Rabban, Noble John B. Hart, Noble A. L. Williams, Noble MR. ALEXANDER FLOWER sity, because, any of us may need a nurse any minute. We never know when, and I feel that the whole city of Chicago most certainly should bend every effort towards helping us go over The Top." Mr. Flower, who has never been frightened when he has come in contact with colored I. R. Hodge, Noble W. W. Johnson, Noble Fred A. Johnson, Noble W. H. Jones, Noble R. J. B. Ellington, Noble Robert Ford, Noble A. A. Neal, and Noble T. H. Samuels, Grand Master of Illinois, the largest delegation attending. From the beginning Noble Jefferson, Illustrious Potentate, ably assisted in every detail by Attorney Noble A. L. Williams and Noble J. B. Hart, the delegation fought like demons for what they thought as right, and as the fight progressed the organization was so determined until they compelled the Imperial Potentate to reverse several decisions made by him. It can be said, however, of the Imperial Potentate, Caesar R. Blake that he was sufficiently able to meet the occasion. Whenever it was shown to him that he was wrong, he gladly accepted and reversed himself. While the fight was being waged doggedly by Arabic Temple's representatives, Noble J. E. White, a member of Arabic Temple and acting attorney for the Imperial Council, tried to cast a bomb shell into the council in Arabic, his own Temple, in that he stated that "Only past Potentates were members of the Council, and the representatives elected by their respective Temples had no right to participate in the proceedings, nor vote on measures. That he thought that certain persons in the Council who had had a lot to say should not have been allowed to speak as they were not entitled to a vote or a membership in the Council." or a membership decided that his actions were such as would demand an explanation from him, to the Temple at the proper time. Noble A. L. Williams, leading the fight with Noble Stewart C. Jefferson, Noble J. B. Hart, T. H. Samuels, Fred A. Johnson, and Robert Ford, demanded a show down at this point, as they construed the law to provide for representatives to be members of the Council. Whereupon when it was temporarily decided people, aside from being President of the Roosevelt State Bank, is the leading member of the firm of Flower Bros., wholesale woolens, 371 West Jackson boulevard, and Mr. Flower easily ranks with the best and the brightest business men in Chicago. against them. Arabic Temple threatened to leave the Council, but afterwards when their contention was sustained by the Chair and the suggestion of Noble White was overruled, they continued to represent their Temple in the proceedings throughout. Noble A. L. Williams, while leading his fight was told by several members who claimed, that, they had attended every session of the Council for the last twenty (20) years, that the fight that he was leading was of such he could not expect to gain the confidence of the older Potentates, and he was hurting himself and the Temple by his persistent and vigorous contentions. Noble Williams answered these Nobles by saying that although he was a new man in this respect, he was first a man and a lawyer and fully able to protect himself and the delegation and before the closing of the Council he was fully justified in his contentions. Nobles Frank D. Crenshaw and A. A. Neal made a gallant fight on the patrol and got every contention Arabic Temple asked for. Arabic Temple brings back to Chicago a successful victory. Everything it asked for was given by the Council during its Session. Not only did it get all it asked for but it could have gotten more, as the Imperial Council offered Arabic Temple a place on its Official Staff. Illustrious Potentate Stewart C. Jefferson said that as his Temple did not come seeking office, it would refuse to accept any office in the gift of the Council. Noble Caesar R. Blake, Imperial Potentate, was offered the greetings of Arabic Temple No. 44, and was invited to make his first official visit to the said Temple and therefore become more acquainted with its magnificent material, and get first hand the details from which these greivances arose, in order that Justice Harmony and Fraternity should pre- (Continued on page 2 column 7) MEETING OF THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. The Twenty-Third Annual Session of the National Medical Association will be held in Louisville, Kentucky, August 23rd to 26th inclusive. There is every indication that this will be one of the best meetings in the history of the organization. The motto of the city of Louisville is "The bigest and the best in Louisville," and the Local Committee of Arrangements, composed of the professional and the business men of the city and an aggressive Ladies Auxiliary, are determined to show the delegates and the visitors to the convention that the slogan of the city is really true. Kentucky is noted for hospitality, and the people of Louisville are determined this year to surpass all previous records. The Program Committee of the National Medical Association has been putting forth unusual efforts to make the scientific sessions and the clinics the most attractive, interesting and instructive that have ever been presented. Papers dealing with all phases of medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy will be read by some of the most representative men of various sections. Interesting clinics in medicine and surgery under the direction of Dr. J. E. Perry, Kansas City, Mo., Chairman of the Committee on Clinics will be held at the Red Cross Hospital and the Louisville City Hospital. Clinics in diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat will be under the directions of Dr. Jno. O. Plummer, Raleigh, N. C., and Dr. H. R Smith, Chicago, III. Dr. C. W. Dorsey of Louisville, Ky., and Dr. W. F. Clark of Opelika, Ala., will have charge of the Dental Section, which will be varied and interesting. The feature of the Dental Session will be a clinic each day by the Inlay Unit. The demonstration which will be given has required nearly two years of constant planning and work. It was prepared for the National Dental association meeting, but was secured instead for the National Medical Association. Arrangements have been made for special Pullman cars from Philadelphia, Pa.; Richmond, Va.; Atlanta, Ga., and Raleigh, N. C. Reduced rates on the certificate plan will prevail on all roads except from New England points. Parties from this section can purchase tickets from New York. The ladies of Louisville have arranged a series of "Stags" which will take care of the entire time of the visiting ladies. Governor Morrow will welcome the visiting delegates on behalf of the State. Dr. I. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, the Founder of the National Medical Association will deliver an address on the opening night. Dr. J. A. Mullowney, the new President of Meharry Medical College, will be a speaker at one of the sessions. A Public Health Meeting under the directions of Dr. R. C. Brown of the United States Public Health Service will be held on Thursday evening. Reception to the visiting delegates will be held on Friday evening at Jefferson Armory, and the convention will close with a trip to Mammoth Cave. Dr. W. G. Alexander, the General Secretary will give any information about the convention that may be desired. 14 Webster place, Orange, N. J. MANY VALUABLE PRIZES WILL BE GIVEN TO THE LADIES IN THE BROAD AX POPULARITY CONTEST. The next issue of this paper will contain a full account of the great popularity contest which will be running in full blast in The Broad Ax, Saturday, August 20. Seven beautiful prizes will be given to the most popular ladies belonging to the various secret societies or social clubs in this city or throughout the United States. course the teacher wanted him to see how bright her pupils were. She told Johnny that he would be asked "Who discovered America?" and that he must answer Christopher Columbus. Will was to be asked "Who made you?" and he must answer God. It happened that Willie stayed home Monday; so that Johnny had to represent the class. The first question asked Johnnie was "Who made you?" "Christopher Columbus," answered Johnnie. "No," said the Superintendent. "God made you." "Oh, no," said Johnnie, "the fellow that God made staved at home." Mr. W. H. Montgomery of the Public Life Insurance Co., likes the column and sent us a few lines. Mr. John Auter, Attorney at Law, says he likes the column and will become a member of our Column Club.

She had been an old man's darling. she could play the game all right. The fellow was no novice, burnt the red fire every night. AS YOU LIKE IT In Nevada they have discovered something worse than the twilight sleep. People who are anxious to die without being hung or shot, or in the electric chair may enter the sulphur chamber and be strangled or asphyxiated. To the would-be suicides that are jumping off tall buildings, or drowning may go to Nevada and die a sterilized sulphurism. MAD BOYS MAKING TOYS. The Germans are coming back. A million mad young Germans are working to put the industrial system of Germany in the forefront of Industrialism. We would like to see even a hundred thousand of our mad men working like blazes to put life into our own economic problems. There is not a thing in the way of a fellow holding down a job and saving his money, and then to spend it judiciously. HE MUST HAVE A MILLION REGRETS. A man who tries to make it hard for other men to live. Is to be pitied for the kind of heart that will not give. Although he may seem to have just all a man might wish, Regrets he has outnumbers all the bones found in a fish. Why, sakes alive, the idea is to get and help to get, For no one has e'er reached the top without some helping yet. Now, if it's right for others to take their place in turn; There's something that the fellow with the money has to learn. "Monrovia." GIVING HIM THE SPILLED BEANS. The Cop—"Give me that package."

You got jes as good chance gettin' it as you is this package." But say fellow, why not get a few thousand yourself by the employment of your own God given talents? AUSPICIOUS REMARKS SUCH AN OCCASION The gentleman upon being called upon to address the meeting, rose and said, "Mr. Chairman: The discussion has been very interesting, but my remarks will be like the ladies skirts, they will be very short and will hardly cover the subject, but however, it is getting very clear that the eye is M.

THE DOCTOR SMILES. A few days ago we saw one of our big doctors listening to one of those street fakirs at 32nd and State st. The vendor had one of those anatomical charts standing on a box so that the unlettered multitude might look upon it with great solemnity, and wonder. The doctor left the crowd with a disgusting smile upon his face, and we could almost read his thoughts from the cars. Say, reader, we are in a helluavafix. There ought to be some ordinance passed in the city council to save our poor easily fooled and easily robbed people of their hard earned money. —"Watchman." CHEMISTS MULTIPLYING.

The white race has come to the place where it is sueing its own governors, would kill its presidents, lynch its mayors. And every body worth more than a hundred dollars has to have a body guard, and if they own an automobile, they are such dinged thieves they will steal 'em from one another as soon as it is dark. Gosh! every body's crazy. We could name a lot of other things they are doing that isn't right, but I guess I'll leave off here, I might tread on my own corn's a bit." "Conscience." They used to have the whiskey, now they want the water too, If they take away the bathing beaches what are we going to do? But they'll never take the beaches, we have got a word to say; If they try to force the issue, they will find it doesn't pay. "Water Hog." THE TIDE FLOWS OUT. A good deal of water has run under the Michigan Ave. Bridge since the first long faced reformer tried to put a crimp in the gentle art of kissing. "Osculator." WE WILL LOOK THE WAY WE ALWAYS DID. A blue-law agitator announces that if the girls wear their skirts any shorter this coming season, all members of the Reform League will look the other way.

"Citizen." HEREAFTER AVOID INDIAN GUIDES. The present vogue is for wealthy gentlemen to grow suspicious every time an Indian gets within two blocks of their homes. Wealthy gents are nutty. The only pardonable pride that is left to bring them comfort and peace of mind is that ready and decent confidence and respect they have for the Negro valet, and butler. But of course you know an Indian is much more clumsy, and more likely to get things bungled than Negro valets, and butlers. "Consoler." WE DON'T KNOW. Bohemia is a great word, although we do not know the meaning of it. It is so easily pronounced, and then it is a big word, and a good space filler. It has a sporty ring to it and maybe that is why we like it. HE WAS A SLICKER. A genius has found that a fountain pen will hold one drink. He filled up his pen but forgot and wrote a letter with it.

A neat little book which is highly interesting, has found its way to our table. Monroe Mason, and Arthur Furr, are its authors. It is published by the Cornhill Company, 2-A Park street, Boston, Mass. It is highly illustrated with pictures of Colored soldiers, who made the supreme sacrifice on the bloody battlefields of France, in the World War for democracy, and it is well entitled "The American Negro Soldier with the Red Hand of France." It also contains the pictures and names of the officers and men of the 369th, 370th, 371st and 372nd and the names of the Colored Chaplains who served in the United States Army during the World's War. In short, it is a little book highly interesting, which should find its way into both the homes of white and Colored people throughout this country. As stated before, the book is for sale, by the Cornhill Publishing Company, Boston., Mass., price $2.00 per volume. NEGRO SHOT, HIS ARMY OF FRIENDS CAUSE RIOT. Policemen were rounded up from every part of the Harrison street precinct Monday night and rushed to St Luke's hospital to avert a threatened race riot which failed to materialize. The assembled Negroes were merely friends of Sam Manning, 1716 South State street, who had been fatally shot in his rooming house by Cleveland Tucker, another roomer. Scores of Negroes brought the wounded man to the hospital and demanded immediate attention for him. A frightened nurse notified the police. Manning died on the operating table. Tucker escaped. MEETING OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Atlanta, Ga.—Unusual preparations are being made by members of the Atlanta Local Negro Business League for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League, which meets here August 17th, 18th and 19th. A L. Holsey of Tuskegee Institute Transportation Agent for the National Negro Business League was here last week conferring with railroad officials and with the officers of the League, and following this conference, announcement was made that in addition to the usual social features held in connection with the annual meeting of the Business League the entertainment program arranged by the Atlanta Business League included sightseeing tours, visiting important places of interest in Atlanta, and inspecting the large number of successful Negro business enterprises located here. Also an old fashioned Georgia Barbecue at the Howard Farm on the Peachtree Road. The annual reception will be held Friday evening, August 19th in the City Auditorium.

INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH COLORED WOMAN CAUSE OF FLOGGING. Birmingham, Ala.—Charges that he had been seen too frequently with a colored woman are said to have been the grounds for which C. S. Cooley a white butcher, was taken into the country last Saturday night and flogged, with the threat that if he did not leave town at once he would be more severely treated. Although Cooley denied that the Klan had taken him for another, according to latest reports he is settling up his business as fast as possible and plans to leave the city within a few days.

Next week will be the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and following that will come the National Medical Association. The Shriners met in St Louis, and the National Grand Lodge of United States Brothers of Friendship met last week in Cincinnati and re-elected Dr. H. W. Jamerson, National Grand Master, and Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, Nation- al Grand Secretary. The Mosaics have met in Little Rock and did not make any changes. Speaking of the United Brothers of Friendship, 1 am proud to say to you that Texas leads the nation today, and next in line is Kentucky. 1 would like to pay my respects to W. F. Bledsoe of Marshall, Texas, grand master and C. H. McGruder, Hous- ton, gtand secretary. 1 have before me the report of the grand secretary and from it I get the following in- formation: “Grand Lodge of Texas was char- tered in 1873, just ten years after the immortal Lincoln issued his historic proclamation. The first local lodge chartered by the Grand Lodge was St. John No. 1 of Austin. The first temple was Rosetta No. 1, Galveston. Since that time there have been 327 lodges and 335 temples, a total of 662 bodies, most of which are still stand- ing. It is safe to estimate that more than 100,000 of the best blood of the race in the past forty-eight years have been taught the lesson of Justice, Mercy and Truth. “The Home and Business Fund of the order has been a means by which we have discharged our duty to the race. Because of it we have bought and practically paid for property cost- ing $150,000 in the heart of the busi- ness district of the city of Houston. In a few days the property will be worth $250,000. The order has had three grand sccretaries in the past thirty years—F. W. Gross, who served twenty-five years, until his death in September, 1915; W.-L. Davis, who resigned in 1918, and C. H. McGruder the present holder of the office. But during these years there has been but one big personality at the head of the order, in the person of W. F. Bled- soc, the peerless Grand Master, who jor fifty years has lived in Marshall, Texas. The grand lodge will go to Marshall in 1922 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bledsoe’s elevation to the head of the order in Texas.” The following is the financial statement ssued: Balance brought forward January 1, 921, Reserve Fund, $128,265.71; Home and Business Fund, $8961; Burial Fund, $19,515.98: total, $148,- 81.30.

Getting through with these people, and spending Sunday in town preach- ing the Word, I got myself in order and beat it to Kansas City, meeting in the stable President John A. Gregg ‘of Wilberforce University, (Ohio) He was on his way to a big meeting down in Oklahoma City. I saw a lot of white people looking at us, so I just said to Dr. Gregg, “dumpiretum, meetirusti, indrukum,” The people looked at me, and I heard one ask the other, “Is he a native African?” I thought I was talking Greek or Hebrew, and they thought I was just talking plain African. I had ‘em guess- ing just the same. We talked and talk- ed and went to the home of Rev. and Mrs. P. W. DeLyles after Mrs. Nor- ene Davis assured me that she was not looking for me but had an en- gagement for 10 o'clock. I got around all day in Kansas City, and at night I went to the Invisible Concert, and there I beheld some wonderful things. Have you ever seen Macey and Johnson? If not, it will pay you to go out of your way to hear these musical wonders—in fact all in the company are stars of the first magnet, and they are some draw- ing stars. Mackey and Johnson are both blind, and they are both wonders. I just looked and listened until I felt that I was out of this world, and I am. proud that I had the pleasure of hearing them. I heard all that took place, and went to my quarters for sleep, and put it down honey that I slept some. I was one more sleep- ing baby. Bright and early the next morning, I was up and headed for St. Louis, reaching there at night, found the Pere automobile car carriage await- ing my arrival, and toted me out to the Pere college, where they were giving a reception to the Shriners. I don’t know when I have met so many educated, cultured men and women in all my life. They were there and there, in large numbers. | suppose they must have served a hundred gallons of ice cream, sherbet and cake. I could not tell you just how much, but it was some cake. I met people there from all over the world. Some I knew and some I did not know, but that’s all right. Mr. and Mrs. Malone know how to do fhings, and they do them also. I was delighted to be there and come in ouch with so many able men and women. I was not in St. Louis to stay, but lid remain over night and next morn- ng started for the kingdom, so to peak. That is to say I made my way to Chicago, and remained there ver night, going to Cincinnati the yext morning, getting there at night, nd visited the National Grand Lodge f U. B. F. as I haye told you. I met, wer the speaking tube, General Jos- ph L. Jones, and he was getting eady for Topeka, Kansas. Well, I rill tell you about Topeka in an- ther letter, for I am going to be here. I am now in Louisville, Ky. and vill be out from here almost as soon s this letter is. I am going to Nash- ille, Huntsville, and other places, be- ore I get back to St. Louis and to Fopeka.

Mr.,Alexander Flower, pres- ident of the Roosevelt State Bank, will serve as the campaign treasurer. FRILLS OF FASHION / ‘When it comes to suits we find satin and canton crepe occupying the first attention of the Parisian design- ers. These frocks are made on redin- fote lines. _ A smart method of applying a flow. @ to a hat is to put a big one on the very edge of wide brim, fas- tening it securely and pulling some of the pearis over, some under the brim. Flowers of sliver tissue give an interesting note to a black lace eve aing frock. They are sold as corsage flowers, and may be used to give a Mt of freshness to a frock that is 2 use. Some of the most effective of the Tedingote “dresses are carried out in dark taffeta over an organdie founda- tion. A charming model of this kind had wide cuffs, buge collar and foun- dation of pale gray organdie, while the redingote itself was made of dark blue taffeta. ‘The kimono! sleeve is now more than ever in favor. But the 1921 kimono wishes a new interpretation of its own style and, instead of being exceedingly wide under the arm, is quite snug. Quite a hard task for the home dressmaker, but decidedly chie and stylish. Capes are made of oblongs of silk fabrics of some sort, bordered along one long and two short edges with fringe as wide as the cape itself. This is really a cross between s cape and a scarf, for it is wrapped about the shoulders, one long. unfringed edge at the neck and folded across the chest. A smart cape of this sort is made of biack tricot, lined with gray chiffon, and with heavy gray silk fringe. NEW SHADE OF RED IN PARIS Name in Doubt, But May Be “Pill" or “Pillar"—Cardinal With Dash of Pink. “Is it pill box or pillar box?” The ‘question refers to the bright red shade that is being much exploited. Pillar box ts correct volunteers a writer in Women's Wear, although the shorter term, probably a corruption of the original, is frequently heard. The Parisians are in doubt. Over there they ask whether the Americans used & pill box of characteristic red shade, evidently believing that the word had Its origin here. The term “pillar box red” is sald to have been coined by an American silk buyer, named for the post bores of Paris, which are not the vermilion red that we sometimes see on iron in this country. “Cardinal with a dash of pink” seems to be a fair description of this very bright red shade, although the pill or pillar box red that is used in millinery is sald to have just a hint of the fuchsia tone in it. This exquisite new red—which is neither cerise nor flante, but something of both—is the newest color to which Paris gives her favor. ic aa Rubbers wear out more quickly at the heels than in any other parts. Te Prevent this, cut heavy cardboard te exactly fit the heel and place them there when the rubber is new. You ‘will be surprised to find how muck longer the rubber will last. Taffeta. ‘The taffeta evening frock with the taffeta wrap to match is worn much by young women this season. On¢ fibds the skirts of the frocks quite fal ‘and not too short, caplike sleeves and & touch of ribbon flower somewhere. “Crepuscular” Sun Rays. ‘The deams of light sometimes seen radiating from the sun when not far from the horizon are called “crepusca- lar rays.” They are due to rays of light passing through breaks 1p the clouds and made visible by dust or fine drops of water in the air. Their ap parent divergence is an effect of per spective. The phenomenon is popularly described as “the sun drawing water”; sailors speak of the “sun's backstays,” while Homer wrote of the “rosy Gngered dawn.” Regiment Proud of Long Service. ‘The Third infantry, the oldest regt ment of our army, which dates from 1784, has developed its arms to show its early service in Mexico. One in- teresting device used by this regiment is a baton crossed with an oldtime bayonet back of the shield. The be ton which figures prominently in the regiment's history was made from the flagstaff of the capitol of the City af Mexico and was taken when the city was captured. It is still one of the most highly prized possessions of the periment. 2 a eS A ie) + Beas Pia | es! : REV. T. L. SCOTT Pastor of the Grant Memorial Chapel and National Grand Chaplain of the A. U.

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1921 SPORT DUDS FOR THE WARM DAYS SPORT DUDS FOR THE WARM DAYS Sweater Proves Key to Situation in the Summer Vacation Wardrobe. **garments That Slip On Over Head** Are More or Less Popular—Gay Colors Prevail—Variety of Skirts. A summer vacation without a sweater is but a poor substitute for pleasure in a woman's life these days, asserts a prominent fashion writer. She adopted the idea for strictly rough sage, but that was a long time ago. Now the sweater is almost as dressy as it is spory—that is, if it is that kind of sweater. For there is no end of the variety of knitted jackets that are being offered for sale, knitted at home or by experts, or crocheted in fanciful stitches and-patterns. Really and seriously, however, the sweater is now indispensable for summer as well as for winter wear, and because the field of its operations has become so tremendously enlarged, there is reason to know about sweaters—what they are and whence they come. For, if a sweater is wisely judged, its purchase can be the beginning of a long and useful life. But a misstep often leads to stretching and fading or—worse fate—shrinking that may plunge the thing into a state of utter degradation, with its cost price evaporated into nothingness. Only those vacationists who are seeking in the Far North are indulging in the thick and woolly varieties of sweater, and for them a great effort is necessary these torrid days to imagine any climate which would make thick wool obligatory. They are warned at every turn of the sporting goods store to watch their steps, and we can only hope that they will include in their compact baggage enough thicknesses to protect them from the icy blasts that are bound to confront them. For those who are summerming in milder climates everything has been done to make the cold days and cooler evenings a success. Sweaters are provided anywhere from a cobweb in thickness to those guaranteed to defy a sudden chilly blast. As one summerboard put it: "Only when we wrap ourselves in sweaters and hear our teeth chatter while we read the heat headlines in the papers do we feel as though the rent of the summer cottage was not spent in vain." Sweaters Are Light and Airy. The sweaters for warmer days are as light and airy and thin as the summer breeze itself. It is astonishing how纤柔 wool can be. They are knitted with open stitches through 33 Sweater of White With Black Ribbon BELT Sweater of White With Black Ribbon Belt. which the breezes can find their way, and the shapes into which they have been fashioned are marvelously clever. Color is one of their realest charms, for the general fashion feeling for brightness in summer things has seeped its way into the field of sweaters with great success. No more is it possible for a woman to send up the sad cry that brilliant colors are not becoming to her style of beauty. Every one is doing it, and there are ways and ways of achieving becoming combinations. The all-white costumes are most effective, especially if they are relieved with some subtle touch of black. A white fannel skirt with a white openweave slip-on sweater and a white drooping felt hat was worn at a country club recently. A touch of contrast had been achieved by tying a narrow black ribbon, ploot edged, around the waist, leaving long bows and streamers falling at the left side. It was the coolest looking thing in Still They Are Worn. A tall hat never lends much dignity to a man whose heels are in the air. Your book Man finding rusty corkscrew in old bureau drawer--Oh, say, Madge, can you remember what this was used for? sight, and at the same time it promised warmth if any coolness should by chance enter the atmosphere. With the white skirts made of silk, silk knitted sweaters are exceedingly popular. The colors range all the way from the softest shades of baby blue and pink and lavender to the shouting hues of orange, red and purple. Orange seems to be the color that has found the greatest popular approval. It is a real orange, too, without alleviating notes of pink or yellow in its dyeing. Against the pure whiteness of skirt and blouse this tones shows up stunningly. For maidens with dark locks and brunette complexions there is nothing more beautiful for summer outdoor wear. Blondes should cleave to bright tones of green, for they look their startling best when enveloped in this aura. Now 1 Sleeveless Coat, Bound in White. Is their chance to display their beauty to its utmost, for bright colors are the thing not overly noticeable, for every one is doing it. There are some sweater dresses in which the regular knitted coats or slippons are worn with knitted skirts and white blouses. These are very good looking and they are most becoming to a certain type of figure—that type which does not stretch the knitting unduly but allows it to drop in straight lines. Some sweater costumes are knitted from light-weight wools and others are done in silk or artificial silk. Usually the silk ones are in pastel shades, combined with white, so that while they have a certain amount of warmth they give a more or less summery appearance, an effect much to be desired when the psychology of summer dressing is considered from its various angles. The knitted dresses—those that slip on over the head and are made on the one-piece model—are more or less popular. Since they are quite heavy in appearance, they are most suitable for climes that are really cold and damp. For this purpose there is no dress more suitable, for they do not muss, they are not susceptible to wrinkles, and in every way they stand up to the hard wear and tear that a summer life outdoors entails. At the same time they are extremely becoming to most women. One woman who was starting out upon a cold northern trip had provided herself with an unusually interesting outfit. Her dress was knitted and of a rather subdued shade of orange. It was made in one piece and bound with silk braid along its edges. She had an angora hat of the same shade of orange. Its brim turned up all the way around and could be dragged down at one side to suit her own style. With this she carried a white wool sweater that was capable of keeping out every wintry breeze or anything approaching that degree of chilliness. It was a most happy combination of color, especially when the sweater was being worn, for the mass of white relieved the mass of orange in the proper proportion. Really the smartest women who have appeared recently in summer clothes have been wearing the sleeveless coats—outgrowths of the sleeveless dresses. Or shall we say that the dress grew from the coat idea? It is a little difficult to draw just that line of distinction, and it scarcely matters, anyway. Suffice it to say that both styles are good, and that most women, especially those who can be called the "tailored type," are reveling in them this summer. The sleeveless coat is becoming to some women, who do not really care for the sweater. It has a hardness of line that is often "interesting" where the soft outlines of the sweater would get in no telling work at all. And these coats are made from heavy fannels and from jerseys, being unlined and bound with white silk braid. They are in bright colors—all of these accepted tones of green and red and orange and so on. Wise Provision of Nature.
