THE UNION INHERES SUCCESS FOES ARE ENGAGED IN TERRIFIC BATTLE Furious Fighting Continues From North Sea Across French Frontier. COMBAT ALONG THREE FRONTS English Fleet is Bombarding Ostend, According to Reports, but No Mention of It is Made in Official Communique Issued by French Government. Paris, France.—Fighting continued throughout Wednesday with unabated fury in West Flanders, from the North sea across the French frontier. A terrific battle along three fronts with a total line of 450 miles was officially reported by the war office. Reports were received that the English fleet was bombarding Ostend, occupied some days ago by the Germans, but no mention of this was made in the latest official communique issued. The northernmost point of the allied line rests on the North sea at Nieuport. From here to Dixmude, along a north and south line 10 miles long, the allies were engaged desperately in stemming the German advance on Dunkirk. Presumably the Belgian army, led by King Albert, was in this engagement, as he was reported at Furnes, only a few miles to the westward of this battle line. Battle Line 15 Miles Long. From Ypres to Menina the battle raged on an east and west line of 15 miles lying at right angles across the straight north and south German line, which only recently stretched from Ostend through Ypres and to Lille. The third battle line extended from Warneton straight south to LaBassee. This is the first time Warneton has been mentioned in the news from the front. It is a frontier town in Belgium on the River Lys and about 15 miles northwest of Lille. LaBassee is in France about 15 miles southwest of Lille. Apparently this battle marks the attempt of his allies to follow up the advantage gained at LaBassee when a vigorous German attack was repulsed, and press the offensive movement closer to Lille, the German main base in this section and the center of important railroad connections, with the army of occupation in Belgium. Lille is the headquarters for the whole right wing of the German army. The battle from Ypres to Menin is believed to be part of the movement for its capture and to have menaced if not interrupted its communication with Ghent. Unofficial reports indicate that at no point along the entire 450 miles of fighting was there a fiercer battle than between Nieuport and Dixmude. What the capture of Lille would mean to the allies the occupation of Dunkirk would mean to the Germans. Reinforcing the Belgian army across the German advance along the coast, the allies threw their troops into the fight with desperate abandon. Report Is Given Credibility. The report that the British fleet is bombarding Ostend is given credibility by another report, indicating the presence of King George's warships along the coast between Dunkirk and Ostend. This said that terrific bombardment from the battleships, combined with accurate artillery fire from the naval brigade landed to reinforce the land forces, had forced the Germans to abandon the project of mounting their heavy artillery along the coast for offensive operations against the British warships. While nothing is forthcoming from the war office on this feature of the fighting or on the result of the battle around Nieuwport, news from the front, through private channels, says that not only did the Belgians and allies hold their ground against the attempted march on Dunkirk, but that they had forced the Germans to fall back on their reserve lines between Nieuwport and Ostend. *The pick of the allied troops apparently has been entrusted with the task of stemming the movement against Dunkirk. Summing up its official report of the operations in the north with the statement that "the allied forces are holding their own at all points," the war office dismissed the situation in the center and on the right wing with the customarily tense "there is nothing to announce," but reports of activity in the region about Verdun and from Nancy to Metz from other sources said that fighting of a desperate character was in progress there. Canton, O.—One man was instantly killed and three were injured when an automobile in which they were returning hme from a political meeting here left the road near North Industry a few miles south of Canton, and leaped over a stone culvert. Had Death Premonition. Columbus, O.-Through the filing for probate of the will of Walter D. Kromer, who died recently, it was learned he had had a premonition of death. A short time ago he called on an attorney, said he was going to die and had his will drawn up. About 60 days ago he took out more insurance, the physicians who examined him at the time pronouncing him in excellent health. Kromer bessed his belief that he would soon die on the fact that he had reached his 55th birthday, his father having died at the same age. THE GAZETTE JUDGE MANUEL LEVINE. Candidate for Common Pleas Judge—One of the Most Popular Judges Cleveland Has Ever Had—Vote for Him! Judge Manuel Levine, one of the best-known and most popular jurists in the state, and for years a judge of the municipal court, is a candidate for the office of judge of the common pleas court, at the election to be held on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1914. He needs no introduction to the workers of Cleveland, and his record is such as to warrant the support of all our citizens. He has always been impartial in his decisions, and has tried to be just in spite of the law, and it is this fact that has endeared him to citizens at large. Judge Levine has always been a staunch friend of the tollers, and his readiness at all times to do all in his power to advance the cause of the workers, and his willingness to assist in bettering the conditions of the poor, entitles him to the support and vote of every citizen in the county. All Newspapers Endorse Him. Manuel Levine, judge of the only "conciliation court" in America, emigrated to this country when but a boy, and has steadily forged his way to a position of power and prominence which he has consistently exercised to the betterment of judicial proceedings. He served as a judge of the Cleveland he, with the aid of others, cleared the courts and their corridors of preying professional bondsmen, the cappers, the constables and the shyster-lawyers. He fought long and consistently the corrupt system of justice of the peace law-dealing, and has all but driven these justices from the state.—Cleveland Leader, Sept. 6, 1914. One of the greatest workers for reform is Manuel Levine, judge of the principal court of Cleveland. Many of the justices he has done are sure to be copied throughout the country. The sooner they are copied, the better. Levine believes it is too easy to get into court and too difficult to get out. He discourages litigation, tries to keep people out of court and endowes to settle as many cases as possible by common sense and not by trial. Levine has not done it all, but he has been the leader in the great reform. It has taken a long time, but courts are ponderous bodies to move, but it has been wondrously well done. Levine is blessed with a clear head, a patience that is almost unobleaveable and a rare fidelity to principle.—Cleveland Plain Dealer, March 30, 1913.—Adv. LANGFORD WHIPS SMITH Knocks Out the "Champion White-Hope" in the Third Round—"Played with" Smith, in Their Contest, a Year Ago. Boston, Mass.—Sam Langford, the heavyweight, of this city, knocked out "Gunboat" Smith of New York in three rounds here Tuesday night. It was the first time the leading "white-hope" of this country, who gained a "doom" over Langford here a year ago, has been knocked out. Langford won his morality throughout. His 200 pounds were behind three solid punches before the first round was half finished, and a sweeping right trolled Smith for the count of seven. Smith was weak when the first round ended. In the second round Langford again took the aggressive. Leading a left, he hammered a right home to Smith's jaw, crushing him to the mat. Smith sprawled there for nine seconds, staggering to his feet barely in time to save himself from being counted out. Feinting and landing with left and right, Langford rocked Smith with his blows and fouled him again. Referee Jack Browne of Philadelphia knocked four when the bell gave Smith a replease. Proving himself as best he could, Smith lasted through nearly two minutes of the third round. Then Langford again pointed his left menacingly drew Smith's guard over, and quickly drove his right with terrific force to the white man's jaw, and Smith sank to the mat, where he was counted out.

The above is a good portrait of Clucas W. Collister, a judge of the court of Common Pleas, as he looks today. He is a Cleveland boy, a product of our Common Schools, a Sterling Ave. School scholar, and a High School graduate.

A Candidate, can hire the four-year unexpired term, caused by the death of Judge W. A.

He was superintendent of Otho College, and superintendent of the Perrysburg, Ohio, school, one year. He graduated from the Toledo Business college, Ohio Northern University, and the University of Michigan. He was admitted to the bar of Ohio in 1898, and has been in the general practice of the law ever since, excepting from 1908 to 1910 when he served as assistant county Prosecutor.

During his term, more than $12,000 were taken in one judgment on these bonds, and about $3,000 were Geo. C. Hansen turned into the county treasury. Mr. Hansen was complimented with the nomination at the Republican primaries for Common Pleas judge, without opposition. He is an experienced lawyer of rugged physique, and well-equipped mentally for this position. He is a director of the Detroit St Savings & Banking Company and President of the Lawyers Club. He left home when a mere lad and has made his own way in the world. He is a typical example of the self-made farmer's boy. Few country boys, if any, had to overcome greater obstacles. He has always been active in the civic affairs of Cuyahoga County and recently served as president of the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Hansen speaks to the German language fluently, which she is of great when he in him in this office.

Sellers and Cross, southerners, director and assistant, of the affair, to segregate or bar our Sunday school representatives from participation in the festival.

Kennedy the title of "The Square Deal Judge". He enjoys the respect and confidence of both the bar and the public. His long experience on the bench covers both civil and criminal procedure, as well as matters arising out of the domestic relation. Judge Kennedy's mature experience has crystallized into a high efficiency, covering as it does the widest range of the rights of men and the rights of property. His record is offered in evidence as a proof that his sole actuating motive is to dispense fair and impartial justice to rich and poor alike of every race and nationality. A deep insight into human nature, coupled with infinite patience, has enabled him to effect the reconciliation of many couples who have been unfortunate in their domestic relation. He has always tried to keep the parents together for the sake of the children. His Record in Brief.

U. S. SOLDIERS WILL LEAVE MEXICO SOON Withdrawal Is Foreshadowed When National Assembly Approves Our Requests. Washington, D. C.—Prompt withdrawal of the American forces from Vera Cruz was foreshadowed Wednesday by the approval given by the Mexican national convention at Aguascalientes to the requests of the American government for protection of Mexicans who served the United States and other desired guarantees. The state department received word that the convention had instructed Gen. Carranza to comply with the American government's requests, and a proclamation is to be issued by him covering the various points involved. The American government asked not only that clericals and Mexicans who served the American forces during their occupation be free from molestation or punishment, but that taxes and customs duties already collected by the American officers be not reimposed. American Consul Silliman arranged these questions with Gen. Aguilar, Constitutionalist commander in the vicinity of Vera Cruz, after which the subject was referred by Carranza to the national convention. It is not known just when the troops and ships will be ordered from Vera Cruz, but it was intimated the action of the United States would be taken irrespective of the deliberations of the convention on the question of a provisional government.

A man with whom she left her home is sought by the Erie police. Nearly all the clothes had been torn from the woman's body and her face was covered with blood when she was found. Coroner Hanley said that death was due to strangulation. A small branch of a tree was bound around her neck. A heavy pointed club, covered with blood and found a few feet away, is thought to have been used on the woman's head. The murdered woman was 30 years of age and of attractive appearance.

Freedland, Mich.—Delbert Woodruff and Lloyd Pierce, ten and twelve, respectively, are dead as result of a double suicide, caused, it is believed, by fear of punishment for having played hooky. The boys failed to appear at their homes for supper and when inquiries revealed they had not been at school in the afternoon, searching parties were organized and for three hours men with lanterns patrolled the nearby woods and river banks.

SATURDAY, OCT. 24, 1914 When the editor of the Washington (D. C.) Sun, T. Thos. Fortune, fails to induce his friend, Dr. Booker T. Washington, to deny that he endorsed segregation in his speech to the National Business League, some weeks ago, what must he believe? The Afro-American is not the only one the South's democratic representatives in Congress have "rubbled it into with a vengeance" since that section of the country got control of the government. "As is misery like company," we cannot refrain from calling our readers' attention to the way the democratic Congress is piling up taxes on the North, and making appropriations, for the South, all out of proportion to its needs and merits. About one-half of the $20,000,000 democratic "pork barrel" rivers and harbors bill went to the South. It won't be long until they will have this country in the same financial condition that Ohio democrats have the state and Cleveland democrats have this city—bankrupt. Twas ever thus. But for the determined and lengthy fight led by a Republican—Senator T. E. Burton of this state, former chairman of the rivers and harbors committee—the bill would have carried $33,000,000 instead of $20,000,000. AN EXPLANATION THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN. Recognizing at last that their "Chief" has made a great blunder by his remarks on segregation, the journalistic supporters of Dr. Washington have rushed forward with an explanation of what he "did" say. And this is what they are saying: Dr. Washington was misquoted by the Associated Press when it reported him to have said: "The Negro should stop fighting segregation and lend his forces toward beautifying that part of the city in which he can live." According to them what he "did" said was this: "Let us, in the future, spend less time in talking about the part of the city that we cannot live in, and more time in making the part of the city that we can live in beautiful and attractive." Where is the material difference in the two expressions? Each carries the idea of surrender, each suggests that Colored people ought to be glad to stay on earth at all, neither recognizes the principles of freedom, justice nor equality before the law. And yet we are told to accept the author of these words as our leader and, with some, to criticize him is lese majeste. When the committee of fifty Colored men appeared before the City Council to protest against the segregation measure, how it would have delighted that narrow-souled body had one of our spokesmen come forward with such a speech. How glad the City Attorney would be to incorporate those words in his brief in favor of the measure. Dr. Washington, time and again, has said things that have irritated that portion of the race which in spite of all handicaps cannot but believe itself the equal of any other part of the Nation's citizens, but it is doubtful if he has ever said anything that will so lower him in the respect and estimation of the whole race as this advice on segregation. As for the explanation—it does not explain and the "corrected" version is more offensive than the misquotation—Louisville (Ky.) News. A Miss Hays, her male escort and another lady, presumably her mother, were refused seats on the floor of the Grand theater. Tuesday evening, for which they held tickets. They were given tickets to the balcony, and the difference in the price of the floor and balcony tickets was returned to them. They should have refused both "returns" (money and tickets), left the theater, and entered suit against its management and owners, under our Ohio Civil Rights' law. Each would then have had a good case, while the other two could have acted as witnesses. The legal penalty, for such refusal, ranges from $50 (the minimum) to $500 (the maximum) and costs of the case, in each case. Others of our people were refused tickets to the floor of the theater, the same evening. The management seems to be a new one. Why, O. WHY will our people in Cleveland, and throughout the State, continue to tolerate such mistreatment in public places, with the law all in their favor? Is there anything that will arouse them to ACTION and not simply to talk in "big meetings" as SOME GOOD REASONS Why Sherff W. J.

Erasmus is an inexhaustibly interesting historical personage, because he is more than that; he is a type as old as civilization. He is not to be confounded with the Hamlets and Amiels, whom he superficially resembles. Their disease is impotence of will; their weakness, the lack of 'the courage of imperfection', the courage to do their best, however inadequate the means, however uncertain the issue. The difficulty of Erasmus and the Erasmians is an intellectual one. They are blinded by excess of light. They see too clearly both sides of every question to commit themselves to either. They lack the sublime "abandon" with which simpler and usually less enlightened spirits throw themselves into causes which they only half comprehend. Naturally the practical world cannot do away with such hair-splitting. The Erasmians are adjured to act, without too much regard for past causes or future results. They are said to lack faith, and, in truth, they are essentially skeptics. To them, only an adumbration of truth is within the reach of finite minds, and they are unable to become violently energetic for an adumbration. They have the penetration of Disraeli, without drawing his practical inference.—Charles H. A. Wager, in the Atlantic. A. G. Carpenter A. G. Carpenter CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE COURT OF APPEALS Mr. Carpenter has practiced law in Cleveland continuously for the past 38 years.

Some of the same states that held out against the Great Liberator have been the first to adopt Prohibit- tion, and for much the same reason---discriminating against a certain race. Saying to a certain race “You shall not do this or that unless we say so” is the same as saying “You are not able to govern yourselves.” And that is the attitude taken by the Southern States.

Most of them are farming because their fathers farmed before them, they were falsed on the farm and know little else, and really little of that. Their woeful ignorance of the science underlying agriculture, of recent discoveries, of the use of modern machinery and the marketing of their crops is appalling. They do not practice home economies because they have not had the opportunity to learn anything about the subject. So these people go on from year to year doing the work of the farm in very much the same way it was done a generation ago. No particular effort has been made to reach these farmers with modern agriculture and home economies. The beauty, independence and importance of the farmer's life have never come to them. They only know the drudgery and wretchedness of it all. Is it surprising that so many are deserting the farms and seeking service in our cities? To those acquainted with conditions surrounding the average Negro farmer and farmhand it is not surprising. There are some conspicuous examples of successful Negro farmers in Texas, but theirs are individual cases, and most of these successes are due to fortunate circumstances and not to any particular effort to promote the general efficiency of the Negro farmers as a class. Articles appearing in the papers from time to time, speaking of Negro prosperity and citing these conspicuous individual successes as examples of what the masses are doing are misleading and really do the Negro farmers, less forunately situated, great harm, for those in position to help him help himself conclude that the Negro farmer is doing well enough. We are all glad that a few individual Negro farmers are succeeding, but at the same time we are very much concerned about that very large body of toilers of the soil for whom the sun of prosperity has never risen. Honest men everywhere will agree that the only way to eradicate evils, and to make living conditions better, is to tell the truth about them, awaken sentiment, find a refundy and then apply it. The purpose of this letter is to arouse the people of Texas to the importance of making farm life more attractive to the Negro farmer and thus hold him on the farm, and to attract others back to this life from congested conditions of living in Negro sections in our large cities, making all of them useful citizens in their communities and producers of not only enough to supply their own needs but producers of a surplus which may go a long way to increase our food supply and materially reduce the high cost of living. Now somebody please rise and say: "It can't be done—we've tried it." The fact that it has never been tried in Texas in earnest on a sufficiently large scale and well organized effort to result in much good. A few good men of our state are doing the best they can, for example: R. L. Smith of Colorado county and now of Waco has done more than any other single individual for the uplift and improvement of Negro farmers through the medium of his farmers' organization, the Farmers' Improvement society, and an agricultural college at Ladonia, Tex., supported by this organization. This society is self-supporting and deserves additional aid for its splendid work. E. L. Blackshear of Prairie Among the surprises that the department of fine arts will give the world when the Panama-Pacific International exposition opens in 1915 will be the presentation of paintings by Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph; Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat; General R. S. Baden-Powell, warrior, and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. Engravings by Paul Revere, the famous patriot, will be displayed. If a young man has money to burn any number of anxious mothers try to hand him a match. In New Haven there is exhibited the earliest known state, roughly fashioned out of the bone of a horse. It is at least seven hundred years old. It is about twelve inches in length and was found in an excavation made in the city of London. Be frugal of your common sense; it will some day be above par. The sher of a plant growing extensively in Argentina has been found to possess qualities similar to the kapok of the Philippines. All Danish passenger steamers and ferry boats on the route between Sweden and Germany will probably soon be equipped with the wireless telephone. Telephone stations will be erected on the coast. As druble, the money a man doesn't save by remaining a bachelor would be more than enough to support a wife and ten children.

Fifty thousand combinations are possible in a new-combination padlock. thousand combinations are a new combination pad View college has rendered service that is valuable to the Negro farmer through his Negro Farmers' congress, of which he is founder and president. The agricultural department of the same college, with C. H. Waller at the head, has turned out a number of young colored men who are doing excellent work. But almost all the work done so far has been volunteered, and has not reached the masses through organized effort emanating from some central authority. The state of Texas has never put forth any effort to reach these farmers and increase their efficiency, and yet a large proportion of the productive wealth of Texas is committed to this unskilled labor through the rich lands they control and cultivate—Wade C. Rollins in the Houston Post. The sum of $55,000, appropriated by congress for expenses of the exposition to celebrate the 81st anniversary of the emancipation of the negro and to show the advancement and achievements of the negro race in education and in the industry' work of the nation, to be held next year, near Richmond, Va., will be turned over by the government to a depository at Richmond, when designated by the governor of Virginia. This fund may then be withdrawn by order of the treasurer of the Negro Historical & Industrial association of Richmond, Va., approved by the governor of the state. The treasurer of the organization will be required to give bond to the Negro Historical & Industrial association, as the governor may direct or approve. No bond will be required by the United States, the disbursement of the fund will not be done under federal supervision, and no acc counting to the federal government will be exacted. This outlines the procedure set down by W. W. Warwick, acting controller of the treasury, in response to the inquiry of the secretary of the treasury as to the manner of withdrawal of the fund from the treasury, and as to what bond, if any, the disburising agent should be required to execute to the United States, and how the money should be accounted for. It is stated in the reference that Giles B. Jackson, president of the negro organization, has given notice of the appointment of a disburising agent. Acting Controller Warwick points out that the appropriation act provides only for supervision and direction of disbursement of the fund by the government of Virginia. He also cites the precedents, indicating the absence of any responsibility to give bond or to account to the United States for proper disbursement of the appropriation. Shantung can boast of 40 centuries of agricultural activity. It is still an agricultural province with an area of 55,000 square miles—about equivalent to that of the state of Wisconsin—with an estimated population of 30,000,000, and has been forced to a degree of intensive cultivation unknown to the farmers of the United States. All the relatives from the country round were gathered at the home of Frank Taylor, Tomah, Wis., for a family party, when the conversation drifted to Albert Taylor, who as a boy of fifteen ran away in 1884 to join a circus and had not been heard of since. While they were talking the door opened and Albert walked in. If a woman still laughs at her husband's jokes five years after the wedding bells have jingled the divorce lawyers get discouraged. M. A. Johnson of Rockland, Me., has a pair of rubber boots which he bought in 1883. The boots were worn on a farm at intervals for six years, and have since been worn on many hunting and fishing trips. They are still sound and dry. Of the emigrants leaving Ireland during the year 7 per cent were destined for the United States and 21½ per cent for Canada. From the province of Ulster there were 12,392 immigrants, or 40 per cent of the total. There was launched at Port Arthur recently the largest steamer on the Great Lakes, having a capacity of 585,000 bushels or 12,000 tons of oats. Tinplate imports into the United States fell from 135,000,000 pounds in 1902 to 4,500,000 pounds in 1912, while the quantity exported increased from 3,500,000 pounds in 1902 to 183,000,000 pounds in 1912. Attending the same school for 13 years without being absent or tardy is the remarkable record of John Pugh, nineteen years old, who has just graduated from the Deepwater (Mo.)

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1914 IN WHITE AND GREEN COSTUME CONSIDERED A TRI UMPH IN PARIS. Long Tunic and Jaunty Waistcoat the Distinguishing Marks—Pretty Garniture of the Jacket and Vest. Affairs of state, questions of national importance, and the very newest scandals sank into the background while all Paris, or, rather, all Parisians, were occupied with the annual event—the Grand Prix. This was a sort of annual finish to the season—a final flourish of rumpets, and then, "Pouf" as they themselves express it, everybody who makes any pretense at being any hurries off to the seaside or the mountains for the hot weather, and Paris is evacuated, writes a correspondent in the French capital. The dressmaking force of all the modistes was taxed to its utmost and working early and late on the wonderful assortment of apparel that was packed up right after the Grand Prix and sent with its various owners to Deauville, Trouville, Vichy, Auvergne and all the other smart resorts. Stunning suits such as the one sketched were out for the final day of the race. This one was copied from a model especially designed for the event, and was brilliantly attractive in chalk white deauville cloth and olive green satin. The cloth made the long tunic and the jaunty waistcoat, while the satin was used for the clever little eno bolero, cuiller sash, and foot of the narrow underskirt. The inner vest with upstanding collar and wing laps attached forms the front of a white batiste blouse, which is worn with the suit, and was itself of batiste. The success of the long tunic lies in the "hang" of them. They must 1 Costume Designer for the Grand Prix flare at the bottom in fluted folds and usually extra width is introduced by means of a couple of folds at either side in front or in back in panel form, as illustrated here. Waist lines are high, but by means of the cuirassier sash or widespread girdle the new dropped line is achieved. In this case a width of satin was tacked in place in small folds at the center front of the skirt and from there drawn downward over the hips and knotted in back with sash end pendant. The jacket was quite saort, modestly garnished with flat silver buttons and lined with white or flowered chiff fon. The vest was given a close row of smaller silver buttons and button holes, which were used only as a trimming, for, if fastened at all, it was only the lowest button that was employed. MODEL BLOUSES FOR AUTUMN Darker Colorings Are to Be More in Favor Than They Have Been for Many Seasons. Autumn model blouses show a number of darker colors than heretofore and dark striped silks are in favor. The Roman colorings are used, but with discretion and selection, two, or at most three, different colors being permitted, though more shades of the same color may be utilized. One of the best new striped silks is in two shades of rose and two shades LEARNING TO KEEP HOUSE Domestic Science Is Being Recognized as a Matter Worthy of Most Careful Study. There is a growing interest among all classes of women today in the possibility of keeping house in a scientific, up-to-date manner. Domestic science is the youngest and heartiest science of the age. Its teachers are thriving, schools and colleges are taking it up. Why shouldn't you, home-town girl, who do not want to go away to earn a living, why shouldn't you take advantage of this interest? Suppose you go to a school of domestic science and take a thorough course. Learn all they have to teach you and get your diploma. Then set up your own school among the people who know you. Let it be known that you are prepared to teach classes in cooking, in the proper combination of food, the "balanced ration," in the elimination of waste, the relation of the home to 1 Model of oyster color gaberdine with vestee and collar of white broad-cloth. Doucet has attracted much attention to this model by the clever arrangement of the straps. of pale brown, the lighter being a real cafe-au-lait tint, and the second a deeper coffee color. These striped silk blouses are very simply made—a pointed vest and turnover collar of washing net, and tiny turnback cuffs of the same instead of a frill. The colored chiffons for blouses are all on the darker side, and the sleeves are both though not a deft, turnover or bold stripe, have wavy lines, or a running, blurred pattern in colors, looking like semi-transparent sprays of flowers or leaves. All the paler shades of yellow and brown, as ground color, are very much in favor, and the new shade of khaki—a brownish yellow with a distinct shade of green in it, is immensely popular. The daintiest of blouses in the simplest of patterns are those shirtt-like garments of chiffon and crepe, which are made very loose and full, with turnedback roll collar and widow-weeds cuts. These have no trimming upon them, save only the buttons, and these are the ball buttons covered, and sometimes made with the material itself. They are fastened with large loops, also made of the material, and the whole blouse spells simplicity itself. For the evening gowns, tea gowns and negliges of the immediate 'uture lace will play an important part, for there is scarcely a woman who does not have her lace drawer, in which she has collected old family treasures, or filled with old pieces which took her fancy at various times. GRAY HAIR THING OF BEAUTY Given Proper Care and Attention its Possession Will Excite Envy—Use Borax When Washing. Once gray hair is an accomplished fact, and not merely a threat, its possessor soon begins to realize its beauty. It should be frequently shampooed, so that it is even in color and smooth in texture, and it should be brushed carefully and regularly and often indulged in sun and air baths. Gray hair will be of a more uniform shade if borax is put in the water in which it is washed, and if the hair is an ugly yellowish-gray or white, a little bluing, say a tablespoonful to a basin of water, will remove the offensive tinge. Of course, gray hair must be carefully dressed, and the best effects are gotten when it is slightly undulated and then dressed high on the head, or rolled off the ears and brow and into a soft French twist at the back. Did it ever occur to you that by a simple matter of dress the color of your eyes can be perceptibly changed? For instance, blue eyes are deepened by wearing certain shades of blue. The writer knows a girl whose innocent hazel eyes turn an unmistakable green when she wears a green blouse, and so far is it from being unbecoming that her friends consider it the most becoming color. Beads From the Shoulders. Many of the new evening frocks show three or four long strands of beads banging from the shoulders around the arms. the neighborhood. In fact, put your training at the service of the house mothers, young and middleaged and old, who may care to study modern ways. Have classes at your own home, with demonstrations, and give lessons in the homes of your clients. Have a class for young girls, and special classes in the serving of formal dinners and teas and luncheons. An opportunity of this sort ought to be welcomed by the women to whom you would make your appeal. You should, of course, charge more for private than class lessons, and would arrange your hours according to a convenient schedule. You should have a small model kitchen in which to demonstrate, and be entirely businesslike in your methods. Jet Seguins A green satin evening gown is sim- ply made, and depends for its trim- ming solely on a little jacket of blac- net, covered with tiny jet sequins. The jacket is finished with four tassels which are attached to the pointed se- tures under the arms that hang dow- over the hips HATS IN MANY SHAPES SHOULD BE EASY TO FIND ONE THAT IS SUITABLE. Colors Are Usually Employed for Sporting Wear—Notable Bergera Effects Have Caught the Fancy of the Parisienne. For sporting wear colored hats are lovely. One was in pale raspberry pink felt, and the ribbon around the crown was in exactly the same shade. Then there was a large buckle in dull blue horn. Such a hat as this seems to call for a floating veil in white washing lace. The Parisienne, at last accounts, were quite enthusiastic over the smaller sailor shapes in white, pale blue or pale pink felt. These smart shapes fit down on the head after the manner of a man's hat, and they can be trimmed with a band of wide ribbon or with a single rose placed flat on the brim, near the front. Some milliners, and very many of our photographic beauties, have exaggerated the bergere outline. We have had models which were raised at the back over dozens of roses or voluminous loops of ribbon. These hats made the head look grotesque and exaggerated, and so they came to be regarded with suspicion. The most important and influential milliners in the Rue de la Paix was an enthusiastic admirer of the Louis XVI period, and she has created some notable bergere hats which were received with rapture by the more exclusive Parisiennes. One of these models is of black velvet, with satin ribbons, in sapphire blue, combined with dull red roses. This gives excellent results, or it might show black velvet ribbon with a single pastel-pink rose. These hats demand that the hair should be dressed high and rather loose at the sides. Several smart hats are distinctly lampshade in design. These hats have domed crescens covered with velvet or satin, and transparent brims made of tulle, chiffon or shadow lace. One model chosen had a dainty little wreath of dull gold roses, framed in silk leaves, circling the crown, and the wide brim turned back very slightly from the face. In the same atelier a similar shape was carried out in midnight-blue chiffon velvet and shot gauze, which shows seams of deep blue, silver and very dark purple. The crown of the hat was circled by a narrow band of skunk, and; at one side there was a large black satin iris which had its petals细 with silver gauze. The charm and popularity of flat-brimmed sailor hats covered with black velvet are unquestioned. These may be said to be the clou of the season. Many of these models are untrimmed save for a folded bard round the crown or a fancy feather; others have a length of black taffeta ribbon, with a pict edge, twisted round the crown and tied loosely at one side. GOOD TO MAKE FOR BAZAAR Pincushion and Trinket Tray, Properly Should Be a Ready, Sack Readers who are puzzling their brains to think of little novelties to make for bazaars will be interested in the sketch we give of a neat little pincushion and trinket tray that is easy to make and that would be sure to sell well. For constructing it two small cardboard boxes must be procured. The lios may be dispensed with as they will not be required, and the boxes placed side by side and securely fastened together. A simple way of doing this is to run paper fasteners through the sides that touch each other, and this is shown accomplished in the smaller sketch at the top on the left of the illustration. The handle can next be fastened in its place, and it is made of two strands of wire with narrow ribbon twisel round and round it. The exterior of both boxes and the interior of the left-hand box, are loosely covered with soft silk, gathered into a tiny trill at the upper edges and again at the base. The division for the pincushion is filled with cotton wool and covered in at the top with velvet, and to complete this little article it is ornamented with three smart little ribbon bows, one tied on in the center of the handle. Prevailing Styles, for the First Time in Many Years, Lend Themselves to Economy. It isn't every year that we may take a shabby blue satin suit and an out-of-style black satin trock and, after cleaning and pressing, combine them into a dress that is quite up to date. This and similar delightful economies are quite possessive now and remodeling is robbed of most of its difficulties. A drop skirt of inning will be made and faced, about twelve inches deep, at the lower edge, with the black satin. The serge skirt will be drawn up at the waist, making it fuller here and about the hips, the fullness laid in a couple of plaits; or else this larger measure will be fitted into the waist size and the seams run out sharply toward the lower edge to give more "spring" or flare. The long tunic, only nine or ten inches shorter than the underskirt, is the most fashionable at present. Of course, cutting off the lower part of the serge skirt, where A Mocel de crepe de chine cloth trimmed with stripped satin ribbon. The coat shows the new cape effect. and the other two on either side. The colors of the materials are a matter of choice, and any pale tints would look very pretty; but the tray should be lined with white silk, and white velvet should be used for the pincushion. DICTATES OF FASHION The high hairdressing has made fashionable many beautiful combs and pins. Stiffly starched linen collars of the upstanding variety are considered smart. Plaids and checks of many sorts are in favor, especially for coattees and vests. Some of the new tulle and batiste lingerie gowns have foundation skirts which suggest Turkish trousers. Printed voile appears in so many designs and the combination of trimming is so alluring every woman will surely want a blouse of this material. The latest blouses are extremely simple in line. Tucks, bands of insertion, frills and rows of, hemmishting are the varieties of trimming most favored. Shirt waists of white organdie, to which are attached men's waistcoats of white pue, with pockets at the waist line and flat silver buttons, are a novelty that deserves attention. SLEEVES MUST BE CORRECT Have Become a Matter of Much Importance in Fashion's Ideas for the Season. By their sleeves you may know them. That has been true of the frocks of today. For several years sleeves have not been of especial importance. Most of them have been cut on kimono lines—and so they were no sleeves at all, and perhaps that is why they were not important. But this year we have a cut-and-dried sleeve to deal with again. To be sure, the new evening gowns have no sleeves. But this absence of sleeves is as characteristic of the style as any other sleeve detail would be. The new evening bodices are cut in two points that clasp on the shoulder under a jeweled buckle or chap or under an artificial flower; or else they are cut off square and held over the shoulders with jeweled bands or strands of artificial flowers. But in the daytime the sleeve is a regulation sleeve, set into a regulation armhole. And it is long and rath- snug and usually reaches well over the hand. Sometimes a bishop sleeve is used—one full above the wrist, gathered into a little wristband. sometimes, too, of course, the kimono arm- sleeve. The kimono arm- sleeve has been brought so nearly to perfection that it is too bad to discard it entirely. For it is both comfortable and attractive in appearance. Standing Chiffon Collar. There are many styles of collar on the new frocks, and not the least interesting is a standing, straight chiffon collar that fits singly about the neck. It is attached to a frock that has no yoke in front, however, but a deep V-shaped opening. So there is a collar above a yokeless blouse. the edge is badly worn, is the simplest matter in the world. The sleeves may be made of the sarin and the remainder of the waist of the serge. A wide belt of serge, with black satin buttons at the closing, will connect tunic and waist. And the new hip yokes! Do you realize what a blessing a yoke is in making style, how often we have seen exactly the way to remake a skirt if we might only put a yoke at the top of it. Of course, the yoke must be the same material as the skirt. When we make these new-old combinations we must be a little careful in selection, but by taking thought we may go ahead and remodel dresses and suits that have seemed hopeless because color or material could not be matched.—Woman's World. Basque That Is a Sash. One of the dalty evening frocks lately exhibited showed a ruffled overskirt over which was worn a satin basque, with the front extended into long ends that crossed in the back and knotted in a saah in the front WIT and HUMOR EXPLANATION BY MR. JONES Circumstances Alter Cases, Said Indiana Citizen Who Had Been Forced to Pawn Watch. Speaking of puns at a recent banquet, Congressman William A. Callop of Indiana told of the crime committed by an esteemed citizen named Jones. Recently Jones collided with spell of hard luck, and in order to make his pork and beans and his appetite meet he was compelled to pawn his watch. While the watch was yet in hock a friend chanced to ask him the time of day. "Why, what in the world has become of your watch?" asked the surprised friend, seeing Jones yank out a time-killer of the turnip brand. "Here it is," smiled Jones, extending the cheap ticker. "Anything the matter with your optical apparatus?" "Yes, but that's a silver watch," persisted the friend. "The one you used to have had a handsome gold case." "I know it did," was the grinful rejoinder of Jones, "but circumstances alter cases."-Philadelphia Telegraph. A Paradoxical Reform "How did you ever get old man Rumay to vote for prohibition?" "Well, we thought the end would justify the means. So the night before election we took him over into another county and let him get so intoxicated that he didn't care how he voted." "Wasn't he angry?" "Yes. But he says it'll be a warning to him to let liquor alone after this." Ought to Flight "I've been walking by here every day for a week expecting something to happen, but nothing has happened yet." "What did you expect to happen?" "Some sort of excitement. That barber shop across the street is run by a man named Gaston Pegoud and the delicatessen store next door to it is owned by a man named Adolpk Schultz." Women. "Do let me pay for it, dear." "No. I will pay for it." "But I insist." "Not another word. I'll pay for it." "I can't impose on you so." "Nonsense! I don't mind paying and you know it." Women. "Well, for heaven's sake, go nhead and pay for it. I haven't any money." WANTED PROOF. BARBER & SHAVER TONSORMA ARTHUR The Bald-Headed Barber—This hair restorer, sir, is wonderful.
