About Eighteen Hundred Dollars Was Gathered in Monday, November 7, Which Was Tag Day for the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses; Whereas If One Thousand or Fifteen-Hundred Colored Women Would Have Tagged on that Day Twenty-Five to Thirty Thousand Dollars Would Be Laying in the Bank at the Present Time to the Credit of that Institution. 5 CENTS per copy VOL. XXVII. About in Mo the F for C Fiftee Tagge sand Prese Monday, November 7, has come and passed into history and it will in the future be known as tag day for the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses. It was the first time in the history of Chicago that the colored people were ever permitted to have or to enjoy a city wide tag day and it is not our funeral if those who were actively in charge of the affair failed to rake in all the money that their hearts desired. It must be distinctly remembered that it was almost solely through the efforts of the writer that the request for a city wide tag day for the colored people passed through the city council without one alderman voting "may," for it was Alderman Thomas F. Byrne of the 29th ward, the noblest Roman of them all, and the writer after several of the big City Hall politicians, both white and colored, failed or were unable to turn the trick or put the thing over, then we decided to put the city fathers on record as to their friendship for the colored people. Then we ran down Alderman Byrne and laid our cards on the table right in front of him and then and there he promised to introduce our request for a special city wide tag day for the colored people at the meeting of the City Council Wednesday, Nov. 2, and deliver a speech in favor of its passage, which he did. In the meantime we got real busy and on Tuesday and before the City Council met Wednesday afternoon we had come in contact with every member of the City Council and they all promised to fall in behind Alderman Byrne and put the special city wide tag day over for the Fort Dearborn Hospital. Of course, it is understood that Alderman Louis B. Anderson and Alderman Robert R. Jackson assisted in the matter, but the real fireworks came from Alderman Thomas F. Byrne of the 29th ward, who was strongly backed up by the writer. It is claimed by the head managers for the special city-wide tag day for the Fort Dearborn Hospital that more than seven hundred women had given their word and honor that they would be on hand bright and early Monday morning and assist in the tagging, but when that morning arrived less than two hundred showed HOWARD'S DEPARTMENT OF DRAMATIC ARTS ANNOUNCES AMBITIOUS PROGRAM. Washington, D. C.-The Department of Dramatic Arts of the Howard University announces a busy and progressive program for this season. Having in one year of activity won an enviable position in American drama. The Howard Players are ambitious for more notable triumps. A number of the leading dramatic critics of the country are enthusiastically calling public attention to their efforts. Mr. Kenneth Macgowan in "Shadowland" for July 1921 stresses the wonderful opportunity for a Negro drama and points out that Howard University is making rapid strides in that direction. "Life," "The Nation," "The New Republic," "Ainslie's," and "The Theatre Magazine" are expected to carry editorial appeals during November for a larger public support of the work of The Howard Players. This is in line with the University movement to secure a handsome auditorium which will contain a modernly appointed and equipped theatre where the Department of Dramatic Arts may present its plays. Friends and Alumni of The Howard University are being --- THE BROAD AX up. It is asserted that the churches furnished only a few of the taggers; that St. Mark church, Rev John W. Robinson, pastor, and Olivet Baptist, Rev L. K. Williams, pastor, furnished more taggers than all the other churches combined. It may not be true, but it is said that when Rev W. D. Cook was requested to permit some of his women members to assist in that direction, simply responded that charity begins at home first and that he wanted all of his women members to bring in all the money that they could lay their hands on for his own church. It was a perfect day, and if there had been one thousand or fifteen hundred real live women in the field tagging twenty-five to thirty-five thousand dollars would be stacked up in the Roosevelt State Bank belonging to the Fort Dearborn Hospital, and then its white and colored friends would have been in a position to buy a permanent home for the young colored women connected with that institution. Early on Monday morning we struck the downtown district, just to see with our own eyes just how the white citizens would take to colored women taggers for a colored institution and when we beheld German-Americans, Irish-Americans, Polish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, mounted policemen, rushing or walking along the streets wearing tags, and even Italian street sweepers with tags on them and with dozens of the friends and readers of this paper waiting and watching for a chance to be tagged. We were more firmly convinced than ever that Chicago is the most Cosmopolitan city in the world; that its white citizens are friendly disposed toward the colored people; that the great mass of them are more than willing to help the colored people in a substantial way whenever the colored people make up their minds to wake up and help themselves; that on Monday, November 7, 1921, the Colored people of Chicago lost a golden opportunity to anchor one of their public charitable institutions on a solid financial foundation, which will never come again, or at least, not until after the present generation of Colored people, residing in Chicago have passed away, and crumbled into dust. earnestly urged to become active in this attempt to place the University at the forefront of American colleges in the field of dramatic art. The season's offerings of plays by the Department of Dramatic Arts is of even more interest than the memorable productions of last year. The Players will introduce to the public a new dramatist a public school girl of Washington, whose drama, "As Strong as the Hills," has been endorsed by leading critics. It is a Persian historical romance and its rich and colorful setting is combined with a plot teeming with love and action. "Simon the Cyrenian" will be produced in special performances for visitors and delegates to the Conference for the Limitation of Armament. Patrons of the theatre will be pleased to know that "Othello," perhaps Shapespeare's greatest tragedy, will also be produced this year at Howard. This generation of play-goers has had no opportunity of seeing the "Moor" acted in which role Salvini, Kean, Booth and Henry Irving reached their greatest dramatic success. The Department of Dramatic Arts is in a better position this year than previously to realize its ideals.

Well-Known Student of Folk Music and Folklore Is Fatally Injured While in Paris. "Mrs. Burlin Was a True Artist." Hampton, Va., Nov. —, Natalie Curtis Burlin, well-known student of musical lore, song-Poetry, and decorative art of the North American Indians and of folk-lore and music of Africans and American Negroes, was recently injured fatally while in Paris. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, recently paid a warm tribute of honor and effection to the memory of Mrs. Burlin, who was a devoted friend of Hampton, of American Negroes and Indians, of Africans and of struggling men and women, regardless of race or creed. "Natalie Curtis Burlin," said Dr. Gregg, in his address to the Hampton staff of workers and students and to MRS. ELIZABETH LINDSAY DAVIS She almost immediately engaged in women's club and social service work. She organized the Phyllis Wheatley Women's Club 21 years ago, and with the exception of one year, has been its president ever since. She helped to organize the National Association of Colored Women at Washington, D. C., in 1896, and was its national organizer for nine years. She served as president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Illinois. With the aid of the Phyllis Wheatley Club, she founded the Phyllis Wheatley Home, which is now located at 3256 Rhodes avenue. Mrs. Davis is many visitors. "was a true artist in literature and in music, and somewhat of a seer as well, discerning inner meanings and hidden spiritual values. Her genius chose folk-lore and folk-music particularly as its principal field of exploration and exercise and with respect to the folk-tales and folk-songs of the American Indian and the Negroes she became one of the first authorities. "Her books are really hers. She is more than a compiler. She may truly be called their author, because the wealth of interpretative comment and its individuality is such as to make these books really her own. They are 'Songs of Ancient America,' published in 1905; 'The Indians' Book, 1907; 'Negro Folk-Songs,' 1918; and 'Songs and Tales from the Dark Continent,' 1920, recorded from the singing and the sayings of two Hampton students—Kamba Simango and Madikane Cele. "Mrs. Burlin had a strong interest in Hampton Institute and much of her study of the plantation songs was done here. We at Hampton mourn her loss and we shall remember her with grateful admiration." The Hampton Institute chorus of over 800 voices sang the following Negro religious folk-songs, which have found a place in Mrs. Burlin's notable collection of "Negro Folk a member of many women's organizations among which are the Chicago City club, of which she is chairman of its 2nd ward branch; the League of Women Voters and the Woman's Aid. She served as the colored representative on the Chicago Council of Defense during the World War activities. She is chairman of the Board of Directors of the Phyllis Wheatley Home, and is a member of St. Mark M. E. church. Dr. and Mrs. Davis own a nice home in the 32nd block on Prairie avenue, which they rent out, and they reside in a fine, small apartment at 3710 Indiana avenue.

Activities throughout the week in the BOOK CHAT By Mary White Ovington. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Author of "Half a Man," "Hazel," "The Shadow," etc. It was my very good fortune last winter and early spring to travel across the continent stopping on my way to and from California, speaking in all in twenty-nine cities. In many of these places I had the opportunity to address not only branch meetings but clubs and other gatherings of representative people. I found, quite unconsciously, that when I was not telling of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, I was calling my hearers' attention to books and articles on the Negro question. Of course, I would not have kept on doing this, had my hearers not been interested, but everyone was interested. I will not dwell here upon my white audiences save to say that they were eager to get the names of the latest books, but I want to say how often I was impressed with the love of reading among the colored and their deep interest in learning of the best books regarding their own race. On my return to New York, however, when I spoke to publishers of this interest they shook their heads and said emphatically "the Negroes don't buy books. There is no Negro reading public to rely on in marketing a book. We know, we've tried." Now this is very discouraging. Of course publishers won't print books on the Negro question unless they can sell them. We can't blame them for that. And outside of a few important names, like Wasington and Du Bois, it is true that books on the Negro question won't sell simply because of the unpopularity of their subject. To make them pay, the publisher must rely in part on a special buying public, that it, on a public that is interested in the subject under discussion. Thus, a book on the Sinn Fein in Ireland will appeal to a group of Irish Americans. A Christian Science story has at once a clientelle of its own and I for one would have supposed, from my knowledge of the interest in race matters of the reading colored public that a book on the Negro would also have a clientelle among the twelve million colored people in the United States. But I am afraid the publishers are right. Judging from the returns on orders of such publishers as I have questioned, not enough buyers are to be found in the colored world to pay for the paper alone in any of the recent Negro books (except Dark Water). I am afraid there isn't enough to pay for the paper in a chapter. The Negro buying public, I am assured, does not exist. Of course there are books, some nature of musical programs and splendid sermons held the undivided attention of all. On Sunday, November 6th, the closing services were held. The usual Sunday morning services were held at 12:00 o'clock M.. In the evening, Miss Martha J. Keys our noted young evangelist, delivered a splendid sermon, followed by the "Candle Light Service" and a delightful musical program given by the noted talent of Evanston and Chicago. The grand opening of the Mason Eat Shop of Evanston was held on Wednesday evening, November 2nd.

When the author is a public lecturer and himself disposes of his book, he runs all the risk, but he also gets all the profits. It is of the book published in the regular wav that I speak. Last year there were eight especially noteworthy books on the Negro question. I list them alphabetically by their publishers. Appleton— The Children of the Mist, George Madden Martin. The Cornhill Pub. Company— The Voice of the Negro, Robert Kerlin. Harcourt, Brace and Howe— Darkwater, W. E. B. Du Bois. The Shadow, Mary White Ovington. The Upward Path. A Reader for Colored Children. All selections by colored authors. Harper Brothers— The Negro Faces America, Herbert J. Seligmann. MacMillan Company— The Soul of John Brown, Stephen Graham. How many, Gentle Reader, as they loved to say in olden times are in your library, or yours, or yours? Every one of them would interest you tremendously. But you haven't got them. A few may have one or at the most two. But there they are good books all, showing the Negro as a man and an important factor in America. Not always dressed up in his best clothes, but as a living, loving, human being, not as too often formerly a diseased rapist or a buffoon. I believe it is just not knowing how to get at books, a most usual complaint, and not knowing just what the books are, that makes it possible for the publishers to say that they do not find a Negro reading public. The public is there but the publisher doesn't yet know how to reach it. Now what surer way could there be of reaching it than to tell in the colored press the local press, that the reading element in the race always sees, what books are, and how to get them? Many people suggested this to me as I went over the continent, and the press has generously responded allowing me from week to week space for my Book Chat. I want to tell a little of how books are written, of the book itself and how to get it. And in my next paper I plan to start with "The Voice of the Negro," the volume by that courageous spirit, who dared to urge the Governor of Arkansas not to murder the Elaine men, and who has been expelled from his position as professor in the Virginia Military Institute, Mr. Robert T. Kerlin. last fifteen years. Ill health has made is necessary for Mr. Mason to give up his work. Mr. E. McClellan of Chicago has taken over the proprietorship of the shop. The opening was a beautiful one and was attended by many Evanstonians and Chicagoans as well. The Young Ladies' Culture Club is planning a musical and literary program for the last Sunday in this month. Talent from the Club and also outside talent will be the participants. All are invited to attend this program and inspire the young ladies. The Club is planning great things for the coming winter and the cooperation of all who are interested in its welfare will be appreciated.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1921. a ee ——y THE LATE GEORGE W. HOLT.|CONSIDERATE By Dr. M. A. Majors. i ‘There are people we meet in life, who it seems have bequeathed to them from Nature's great store house what is often called magnetism, gen- teel manners, a kindly spirit, friendli- ness, suavity, each one of these quali- ties is quite sufficient to make 2 man beloved or respected above the rest ‘of his fellows who are not so favored. |There may have been artifice in the make up, oF composition of our de- parted friend, but it was used, if in- ‘deed there was in the most philo- sophical manner. We met him soon after he came to Chicago and our acquaintance covers a period of fifteen years. He always was lofty and gentlemanly in every particular. Mr, Holt did wot flare, basque in the spotlight, nor was he led into the ways of garnish and tin- sel, gaudy gloss, nor shine forth with gilded pretense. He was a man of steady disposition with no bad habits, altho his business belied the character of the man he was. In the civie life of the race no man felt the impulses of his race trying to rise, trying to throw off the incu- bus of cast more keenly than he, and being a man of wealth he contributed possibly in greater porportion than any to help his race establish stalwart institutions with strong financial bul- warks The Liberty Life Insurance Company, of which he was the hon- ored treasurer, no doubt was in spirit and helpfulness for a race of people, the ideal of his fondest dream. He had a host of friends throughout the west who had a most pleasant and intimate acquaintance with him reach- ing back into te years of his busy active life. He was intrenched in the hearts of fraternal brethren of a num- ber of lodges of which he was a re- spected member. There are a num- ber of relatives who remain to mourn his passing. The citizens of Chicago who knew Mr. Holt found in him the qualities: of a man everywhere respected and admired. Nor did he obtrude himself, but made himself so strong in the nobler forces that he was sought. He soon became one of Chicago's staunchest citizens. Although Mr. Holt delighted in being rich in the far-fetched expression of wealth as it applies to Negroes, yet it did not un- fit him for the closest intermingling of racial associations, and there is no garrulous expression to come from the lips of any one high or low in the city of Chicago. His home was constantly the happy scene of musi- cals and receptions to which much of| the social activities in the life of the race give affirmation. In business be- was a success, be- cause he possessed the business spirit, reinforced by his pleasant nature to! reat people kindly. We sorrow over our loss; and regret his departure jrom our midst while yet in the prime of life. He leaves to mourn him a wife who has interwoven her | sterling orth lin ac eerts (ots er doreorent midsical promoters: a brother, and a| host of friends who will ever remem- ber him for his philanthropy, and his aggressive disposition” which must eact on the life of our people every- where.

Fortunately for the Negro he is set upon faith in God. He at least acts the part in his humble way as if rightly interpreted the scriptures The church has long been his Rock of Ages, and this has been his refuge in the time of a thousand storms. He has taken strong hold-upon this as a means of cultivation and intellectual development. The church has stood sponsor for the university and college, and augmented as well all the great and good institutions that carry char- ity and christian benevolence to the heathen, the poor and the disconso- late. No other institution known among men has done a hundredth of the good that has been done for ‘world progress. Of course the unlettered and very commonplace people hold it forth as the means of grace, and fitness for a futere life beyond the grave. It is well that they have hope in a spiritual “tT oaterial world has not been +> ..vrce from which the Negro 4 eather very much inspiration use he has suffered the handicap s which almost brutalized came. The chureh with its crol- ures, the school and college has vkened itis spiritual mature to be- come the super-religionist, and has made the Negro the wonder race of our times. It has made him eloquent to speak in glowing platitudes of his deliverance, and his hope of eternal life. It has made him gifted with song that he might sing of his joys and blessings and peopled his tractile mind with beautiful idealities. In the far-fetched analysis of cause and effect he has not traveled very far in the few short years of his op- vortunity, but he will come into his own in material sense and will prove himself a factor in the economic life when he fias been given ample time to apply himself to the abstruse com- plexities of fe having in itself the material reaches as well as the mental carry, We do not wonder at our religious spirit. When the heart is right there a Piette Speen tek tom ara bee is so much of real beauty and honest affection in the worship hours of a service given wholly to our religious zeal. It is vastly more than emo- tionalism. The fire sparks of God's divinity seem to catch into blazing when once your heart is touched with the shower of such resplendent truths. | What better could the race give to mankind than a beautiful, yet simple christianity? In this grove of holiness there is a human equality that seems to touch heaven and things divine. If as it is said the least can be not only equal to the king or the president, but among the greatest, then religion and its principles manifested in the bosom of the blackest man alive may indeed make him a prince among mortals, and a brother to the great and power- ful among mankind. We axe very soon to learn that christianity is without color and preju- dice. We afe to fee! in our black skim that we are joint heirs pf the Most High. We ate to throw off the leth- ergy of Our belated natures and see God with the eyes of our faith as the God of righteousness without ever once thinking of a color scheme. White, and white teaching, and white- washing are not to be regarded by the sin sick soul thirsting for the bread of life. For years we have had white pictured to our race intelligence that it was the embodiment of all that could be pure and holy, when the most fearful practices of evil were perpetrated by people with a white skin. War, and a thousand horrors sent from hell have brought the white race up to a’power that seems to sub- jugate the rest of mankind. We have imaginations, possibly more acute than can be found in any other race. It has been a great lever to the Negro race all over the world. This imagination has been our salvation in times when there was nothing but the crude mind. Today we are seeing things through the trained intellect, and through it peradventure magnify God as a minister of grace to hunger- ing souls for the bread ‘of life. We are learning to know God as the great Lover of mankind throughout all of the earth. We are rapidly learning that heaven is not attainable, but a result of noble living and righteous action. That God can bring us heav- enly peace while yet we live, that jollows down the lonesome path old age making it calm and serene.

It has become the fashion to Invent new . much so that the really rare one eager purchasers as do the made-up, yea and cleverly prepared pelts, Such is the power of fashion. In Paris colored furs, Uke colored laces, are very prominent in certain exclusive studios. And it must be ad- mitted that some of these curious furs ‘are exceedingly attractive. My per- sonal opinion is that they are only suitable for evening wear; to trim @aborate wraps, scarves or dresses. There ts @ beautiful shade of raspberry pink, which is produced in ‘8 fur which looks exactly like ermine, but which is in reality specially pre- pared rabbit. I saw an evening dress made of dark-blue lace and aluminum embroidery, which was trimmed with bands of this curious fur, and another im gray chiffon and long silver fringes. And then there is a lovely mauve fur —also of ermine genre—which looks delicious when mingied with creamy lace, mauve panne and glittering ‘em- brolderies. Very often the colored fur ls cut so close that It looks exactly Wke plush, but when one comes to touch it one recognizes the difference. ‘This is probably s passing fancy, but gt cannot be denied that it is a great favorite, in certain circles. I have seen cape-collars made of colored tur, for evening wraps, and long, very wide, scarves which are destined to partly cover bare shoulders at opera or restaurant. 7 FASHION FRILLS. Black satin gowns are girdled with ich gold-brocaded ribbons. , Deep bands of heavy crepe silk give the effect of Persian lamb. Arrows made of quill feathers find mart hats welcome targets. Frosted grapes with tinted leaves ‘are charming on a purple hat. Many rows of tassels form the un- usual trimming of a duvetyn wrap. ‘Loops of ribbon are smart trimming for one of the new high-crown hats. Gowns have their cape backs either floating free or confined by a girdle. ‘A novel beaded bag has a wrist ring attached to a long beaded handle. ‘The fashionable Spanish heel is cross between the Louls and Cuban heel. Lines and dots of braid form a check design on the skirt of a crepe gown. ‘A smart dress and coat combination is made of Hudson seal on canton crepe. | DAHLIA SHADES NOW WORN Popular Fall Colors Find Way Into ‘Skirt Materials That Meet ‘With Favor. ‘The dahlia shades, long hatled as the popular fall color, have found thelr way into the skirt materials, one of the latest prunella weaves having this color stripe in combination with green and « narrow pin stripe of the dahila forming the box plait with the green stripe inverted.

Lace is a becoming and decorative note which is still much used. It is sometimes seen in long streamers that ‘fail from the brim across the back and hang to the waistline, or, again, it is raped at one side. There are some shadow designs, but the Spanish laces are particularly interesting and quite @ifferent from anything used during the summer, because of their definite- ly begvy pattern and silky weave.

And, observes a fashion authority, when the calendar says that autumn is here, the sult bcomes the first noticeable change in dress expres- | ston. ‘ |. A’prominent maker of sults—a man “who has devoted the whole of his life to the study of this one by-path tn wom 's wear—said that he had had | Just as many, if not more, calls for ‘sults this season as he had had any season in the past. This statement was made in the face of the fact that the general impression seems to be, in fashion circles, that the silt ts losing some of its popularity. Now this tallor believes that the salt can never die. He says he knows that yo- gn have adopted it for thelr uniform, Just as the men need the sult for ‘theirs, He realizes the fact that wom- en diverge from the sult in many and varied manners, but he says that this “costume as the foundation of a ward- ‘robe fs just as staple thing as is the coffee they drink for thelr break- fasts, You ask him: “Does the style of the sult change?” and he witheringly answers that It does most decidedly. Then, tf you look at it with an un- tutored eye, it is hard to see just where the changes come in. They are subtle, and they are slow, but, he assures you, they are changes, and the Inst minute of fashion standard demands that they shall be made. — ‘The encouraging side of all this slowness and subtlety is that it is not greatly noticeable—that the old sult, if It ts designed along conservative enough lines, will last on indefinitely. And, combined with the smart hat and the proper accompaniment of fur, It does itself proud in the marching throng. Length of Skirts. ‘The lengths of the skirts in the suits, it is nice to be able to say, have not changed so materially: that the change is quick to catch the eye. They seem to be about the same, although they are really longer than those ex- treme knee-length ones of the sum mer. It behooves us to stop and think, aowever, that certain members of the community attempted these ultra- short affairs. and that most of the sult skirts, in particular, remained a distance of from ten to twelve inches from the floor. And that Is what they are today—preferably ten, but riging to twelve where the figure is tall-and silm enough to demand that concession to Its own proportions. ‘There is the sport suit, for which America and Americans have become t0 famous; there is the medium suit for every occasion, and there is the dressy sult which, this season, has Aissolved Itself Into the costume dress, But each is as popular and as neces- sary as the other in its own way, and each one of them is destined to hold a place in the season’s fashions, Among the tailored sults there are many with coats that are very long. That is, they may safely be called three-quarter length, for there 1s only # fraction ofa skirt left-showing be- neath the ending of the coat. Then, there <nits are cut in such a manner that they can Keep the straigat, song Mines for any figure. They are totally without fullness, to be sure, but they have a miraculous way of keeping staight in spite of everything. Every- thing about them is seemingly tightly fitted. ‘The sleeves are, indeed, skin- tight and the armholes are rounded and fitted to a nicety. Sometimes there is a belt set at a low waistline and tied into place, the exact placing of the waistline being in accordance with the individual proportions of the figure. Then, some of these three- quarter taflored conts are slit at the sides from the bottom, so that the ends have a trifle of “give” to them, not be- Ing keyed to the line of the figure so unrelentingly. 4 tailored suit of this variety was’made with bindings of its own material, which material was broadcloth, by the way, and these were cut almost an inch in width.

A Russian blouse sult was made of peacock green duvetyn with a very thick and heavy surface. The bloused section of the coat was long enough to completely cover the hips, and under- neath that was straight sort of pep- tum of the width of only about five or six inches.

Fur, indeed, is used for trimming many of the winter suits, but the faet of the matter is that in most cases It is very sparingly used.

WOOLEN BRAID USED AS TRIM Broadway Black and white braid is effectively used to trim this otherwise severely simple frock. Velvet Headgear Needs Especial Attention—Each Hat Should Have Box of Its Own. It is not only the wear that a hat receives that makes it lose its freshness and shape. It is the way the hat is treated when it is not in use that has a good deal to do with this. Velvet hats are so much in evidence this season that the chances are you have one or will have before many weeks. These need particular care, and will repay you the care you give them. The old-fashioned way was to have a piece of heavy black mourning crepe with which to rub off the dust from velvet, but a velvet brush is easier to handle. A heavy, coarse brush should never be used on velvet. The best time to brush dust from velvet is after you have worn the hat, unless it is damp or spotted with rain. Then you should not use a brush until it has been thoroughly dried. It is hard in limited quarters to give your hats the right place to repose when not in use, unless you are content to get along with but one or two hats a season. Ideally, each hat should have a box of its own, and even your ordinary hats should be boxed when not in use. Hats that have trimming of the down-drooping variety should not be laid flat in a box but should rest on a little hat block—anything, in fact, that will raise the brim somewhat from the bottom of the box. A piece of china silk—an old silk handkerchief is good—is useful in caring for your hats. Quilts should be carefully wiped off with it and ostrich feathers may be dusted gently. Any trimming with cresin finish or jet ornaments may be carefully dusted with this silk. MANY SLEEVES TO ONE FROCK Generous Supply of Armcoverings Will Permit of Change to Suit Almost Any Occasion.

Imagine wearing your sleeve as a shoulder piece for warmth and protection and dropping it in the restaurant or at the card table, leaving the arms exposed as they have been for a year. Imagine appearing in an evening gown of capucine brocade one night with a Greek bodice clasped on the shoulders with ivy leaves done in brilliants, and appearing the next night in the same frock with Doge's sleeves built of metal net and embroidery, banded with fur and touching the floor. One need not tax the imagination too much. These things are done. One has a box of sleeves or a tiny trunk of them as one has a hat or a shoe trunk. You may travel with two frocks and a full equipment of sleeves, borrowed from the ages and reeking with history. It may come about, if the fashion lasts long enough, that women will boast of finding a pair of Fourteenth century sleeves in Florence that once belonged to a personage, and another priceless pair which were worn by Catherine of Russia. These will be added to the collection as one now adds pictures and shoe buckles and snuff boxes. Old Theaters in London. London still contains two buildings that witnessed the performance of Shakespeare's plays during Shakespeare's life—the Middle Temple hall and the hall of Gray's Inn. CREPE AND VELVET CREPE AND VELVET Favorite Fabrics Beautified by the Use of Lace. Afternoon Frocks Are Shown Plain and Sometimes With Beads—Side Drapes Used. Crepe, velvets and brocades are specialities of one manufacturer. Several of their black evening gowns are made up with lace, while afternoon frocks are shown plain and sometimes with beads. Side drapes of lace, which extend from the shoulder to the hem and form tiny sleeves, characterize a black costume of canton crepe which has inserts of the same lace in straight lines down the front. A navy canton crepe has side drapes formed of squares of double crepe heavily beaded in red. Lines of the same beads outline the collar, cuffs and shoulders. Three tiers of white crystal beads in long loops cover the entire skirt of a canton crepe gown built on straight lines. One tier of loops covers the walstis, supplemented with bands of designs in the beads. A black chiffon velvet with long bodice straight in front and gathered at the sides, features a curved hem, longer at the sides than in the back and front. In brocaded-chiffon, two deep turquoise frocks are shown, one with a scalloped tunic over an underskirt of the same color in charmeuse, and the other with the flower design of the brocade on the lower part of the skirt emphasized by blue beads. A dress with a separate cape is shown in brown canton crepe. The bodice is long longstained and plain with a corded belt and long side panels. The cape is of the same color and also plain, except for the corded border of the wide collar and the bottom. COLLAR AND POCKETS OF FUR UNDERWOOD & FURNEE WOOD Givet cat collar and two big pockets of the same fur, give a unique touch to this winsome street suit. Diplomatic Bob. Bob and I were out sailing when the boat was capsized by a sudden shifting breeze, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Journal. While we were in the water, clinging to the boat, Bot proposed. I remember I said "yes" for fear he would let me drown if I refused. As soon as he had his answer he said "The water is shallow here, so let's not bother righting the boat. We can just walk to shore." Limited Rule. "Believe yourself happy and you are happy," says a writer. Unfortunately this rule doesn't work when a man thinks he is wise, for then he is otherwise.—Boston Transcript.

If a man has the raw material for being a blamed fool, he cannot blame the fakir for taking advantage of opportunities.—Exchange. It Always Costs Him a Stroke. Nothing is more disconcerting to a middle-aged golfer than to be asked by the young lady who is watching him drive off whether he intends to enter the grandfather's tournament.

OFFICERS Chair Silencera In rooms where the floor is not covered with a soft carpet the moving of chairs is often the cause of a good deal of noise. The trouble may be remedied in this way: From thick felt cut small rounds to glue on to the feet of the chairs. These can be secured from an old hat or cut from an odd piece of floor covering. The chairs can then be moved about quietly even on the hardest floors. Chicago
