State School at Institute Ably Managed by Professor Byrd Priflerman Raised to College Rank on Chief Executive's Recommendation — Commencement Begins May 26. By N. BARNETT BODSON. Much interest has been aroused in educational circles among our people throughout the United States by the fact that the West Virginia Colored institute has been raised from a secondary school to college rank. President Byrd Priflerman, of this institution, has been the recipient of letters of congratulation from many of the leading Negro educators in all sections of the country. On Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1915, both houses of the West Virginia legislature passed a bill without a dissenting vote, changing the name of the institution to the West Virginia Collegiate institute and authorizing it to do college work and also extension work. Too much credit cannot be given Governor BYRD PHILLERMAN. H. D. Hartfield, who recommended to the legislature in his annual message that such a clique be made The governor is very thoroughly interested in Negro education and has taken advantage of every opportunity to demonstrate this interest. The movement among the colored people of the state to have this college established was led by Professor J. W. Scott, principal of the Doughous school, Huntington, W. Va.. It is highly creditable to the race in the state that it was for one time almost unanimous in the effort and plans for this college course. The school is just completing a new dinghall, which will have a seating capacity of 500. It is a three story brick building and thoroughly fireproof. When completed it will be the finest school dinghall to be found in the state of West Virginia. The state board of control, of which the Hon. James S. Lakin is the president, deserves much commendation for the impartial manner in which it has managed the financial affairs of this institution. The board has thoroughly demonstrated that it is highly in favor of the Negro youth of the state having the very best facilities for education. The summer school at this institution will begin on Monday, June 14, and continue for six weeks. Some of the ablest speakers in the country have been secured to direct the work of the summer school session, which from the very beginning of this special opportunity afforded teachers to better equip themselves for their chosen work has been a popular success. It is already drawn upon the teachers in the city and country schools of the state that since the West Virginia Colored Institute has been raised to college rank they should bestir themselves to make the pupils in the schools which they reach more proficient in their studies. The idea is also gaining in public favor that these urban and rural schools should fit pupils to enter the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. Professor Byrd Prillerman has won his spurs as an educator upon merit. He has been prominent in the work of education in West Virginia for a good many years, and by his loyalty, to the institution of which he is the honored head he has won a wide reputation as a constructive genius in bringing things to pass for the advancement of his race. He is one of the officials and strong promoters of the Land Grant college movement, of which his fellow educators have seen fit to make him the presiding officer. The raising of his school at Institute, W. Va., to college rank is at once a high recognition of his ability and service on the part of Governor Hatfield. Unguish interest will be manifested in the commencement festivities at the new collegiate institute this year, and as an indication of this fact the United States commissioner of education, the Hon. P. P. Claxton, has already been engaged to deliver the address to the graduation class. Commencement Week will begin on Wednesday, May 20.

He can- not be forced to a discussion of any phase of the race question, it seems. ‘The result is our papers, headed by the Christian Recorder, are “panning” the “great evangelist” unmercifully. Keep it up, brethren; he certainly needs it. We are in hearty sympathy with Eaitor Young, of the Norfolk (Va.) Journal & Guide, in bis earnest pro- test to the daily newspapers of that city as a result of their jnsulting ref- erences to the members of our race there. We also endorse Editor Fran- eis of the San Francisco (Cal.) West- ern Outlook's fight on a proposed “Negro Day” at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, Keep it up, brethren! You are right, Let others of the race press do likewise whenever the occa- sion requires such action. “The Birth of a Nation,” the vicious photo-play, founded on Tom Dixon's infamous book and play, “The Clans man,” has landed in Chicago and our people there have a battle on their hands exactly similar to the one, in New York City for several weeks and llke the one ended, last week, here in this state, against a similar photo-play. We trost both New York and Mlinols will have the success, ‘and soon too, we of Ohio have had, thus far. If those states only had gov- ernors Hike our own Frank B. Willis, success would be assured. We want our people of Cleveland and of the state of Ohio, particularly, and those of the entire country, too, to thoroughly appreciate, as we do, the prompt, energetic and very effective assistance rendered, last week and the week previous, by our local Min. isters’ Alliance, in the successful ef. fort to rid Cleveland and Ohio of that miserable photo-play, Gentlemen, you “did yourselves proud” and are en: titled to unstinted praise.

Harry C, Sinith of Cleveland, former member of the Legislature, appeared before the Ohio Senate committee on Public Health which has this bill in hand. it_was an open meeting of the com- mittee and was attended by about 200 ‘persons of many professions, and others, from all parts of the ‘state. ‘There’ were many speakers and Messrs. Smith and King who repre- sented the race and who were among the first to be recognized by the chairman, Dr, Gallagher,.were as lib- erally applauded as any of the other speakers, Others of the race in qt- tendance upon this committee meet- ing, who are aggressively active in their opposition to. the miserable Platt-Ellis bill were: Ralph W. Tyler, who has charge of the fight on the bill in this section of the state: At- torney Robert B. Barcus and H. C. Ford, two powers in the work; and Attomney. Moses Jones of Dayton, Geo, A. Myers of Cleveland, proprietor of the Hollenden House barber shop, who is in charge, In northern Ohio, had done and is still doing some of the most effective work against the bill and came in for no sinqll measure of merited praise, Tuesday morning, trom all of our race-members in attendance fon the committee's open meeting. ‘They—Tyler and Myers—showed that they intended to beat the bill, if it were possible when they rushed into the breach with those fWwo “‘42-centi- meter guns”, King and Smith. And they “fired some”, too, believe me, ‘Tuesday morning. Present indications are that the Dill will not pass if our ten interested will only keep up the fight until the vote on it is taken. Our chiropodists, masseuers and bar- bers of Ohio must hasten to the as- sistance of Tyler and Myers, as the time is so very short. | On the suggestion of the Hon. Har- ry C.

Johnson Did Not Train Sam McVey, who was one of Jack's assistants in his recent fight in Havana, Cuba, says: "Jack never did train like a man who was getting ready for a hard fight. He didn't do any road work. He just took a walk every day. His gymnasium stuff didn't amount to anything. He started out all right when he landed there but after the first week he wasn't so brisk. I think something happened. I wouldn't have thought so much about it if the five rounds had been twenty-five rounds, but I says to him one day, 'Jack, forty-five rounds is a long ways from home, man,' and he just looked at me and says, 'You think so? but he didn't do any different.'

The new beer tax in England has had the effect of reviving the obsolete art of home brewing in the country districts. If home brewing becomes widespread, one of the main sources to whica Lloyd George has been looking to raise funds for the war will be cut off. The brewing industry will suffer. Ale can be brewed at home at 1½ cents a pint, or 1½ cents cheaper than it can be bought at a public bar. Small householders paying less than $50 a year in taxes are allowed to brew for home use free from any excise tax. Empty casks are bought up to store the home brews, and brewing coppers are lent among neighbors.

In these wistful eyes and on these mouths, united with mother kisses, His precious image lies." The Ohio Board of State Charities is looking for good Christian homes in colored families for a number of bright colored boys. Among them are three little fellows who have been transferred by the Ohio Board of Administration. They are waiting for some one to give them a "square head" and a hard and checkered experience—the father is brutal and their mother neglectful. After the father threatened to kill the mother, the judge of the Juvenile Court of the County sent them to the Boys' Industrial School at Lancaster. They were not committed as delinquent or as incorrigible boys, but there was no Children's Home in the County, the children resided, and the judge did not know what else do with them. The Board of Administration, which has the control of state institutions, is maintaining a Bureau of Juvenile research to make a special physical and psychological study of children who are committed to the Industrial schools. A great many of the children in these schools have been infected from cold, hunger and abuse and have become delinquent because of childhood neglect. Many of these children who have later become delinquent would have responded to the kind and sympathetic treatment of a humane person. The Ohio Board of State Charities has organized a Children's Welfare department with among many other agencies in seeking to protect neglected and defenseless children. One of its duties is to seek homes in suitable families for children who are placed in its care by juvenile judges or by the Ohio Board of Administration. This is the reason why these three homeless boys are now in Columbus, under the care of the new juvenile justice system, to take a personal interest in them. The Children's Welfare department is undertaking to create a sentiment throughout Ohio which will restore to homeless children the rights of which they have been unjustly robbed through no/fault of their own. It believes that normal children should not be homeless and should be placed in situations—that such treatment is likely to be expensive and dwarfs their individuality. God has given to them a great longing for individual care and parental love. Those who know most of institutional life can tell something of this unspeakable reality. This department has already been able to place a number of these bright and promising children with some of Ohio's best people. The department is making a special effort to know that the children are in proper physical condition before they are placed in a home by the school. They are placed in physical and psychological examination, then they are placed on trial. They are not bound or indentured but must be provided with suitable social and religious advantages and trained to become useful citizens. If the placement is not satisfactory they are returned to the Board at any time. A little homeless colored boy, who had been in trouble and who had no one who was very much interested in him, had been placed in an institution. The institution was well marshaled and cared for, and were kind, judicious and sympathetic—and everything was done to make the life just as normal as circumstances would permit, but something was lacking. He said to one of the persons connected with the Children's Welfare department, "I wish you would get me a home pretty soon because it is sad here. That statement used something of the meaning of a safety and homeless boy for family life. Any person interested in providing a home for one of these children is requested to communicate with the Ohio Board of State Charities, Children's Welfare Department. 1010 Hartman Bldg., Columbus, Ohio. A representative of the Board will call once family upon the placement of a child.

ZEPPELIN RAIDS ENGLISH COAST Giant Dirigible Drops Bombs On Five Tewns and Then Disappears. Russians, After 12-Hour Battle, Capture Another Section of the Mountain Barrier Between Galicia and Hungary. London, England.—With the evident object of damaging the ship yards on the Tyne a Zeppelin airship raided the Northumberland coast of England Wednesday night. The giant dirigible first appeared over Blyth about 8 o'clock and dropped eight bombs. Then it vlisted Bedlington, where several more bombs were dropped. Veering to the southward, the towns of Seatonburn, Cramlington and Wallsend were bombarded. The night was exceptionally dark and not a breath of air was stirring, immediately the alarm was given and all northeast coast towns were ordered to extinguish lights. Britain's newest dreadnaughts are in process of construction along the Tyne and night shifts were at work when the alarm was raised. Every precaution was taken at once by the authorities. All lights were put out, the men dismissed and the yards closed. The nearest the air raider got to New Castle, the center of the great shipyards, was Wallsend. This is a town of 20,000. Reports received in London state that practically no damage was done in any of the towns visited. One house in Wallsend was struck, the missile passing through the roof and bringing down the ceiling in a bedroom in which a sick woman was lying. She escaped injury. The struggle for the last of the Car pathian passes remaining in the hands of the Germanic allies still holds the center of the land war stage. After a 12-hour battle the Russians have captured another section of the mountain barrier between Galicia and Hungary. A dispatch from Leemberg, Galicia, tells of a Russian attack on the Austrian forces at Mexoloborz, in the East Beskids. The Austrians were forced to give ground, and it is said the main mountain crest in this region, considered impregnable, has passed to the hands of the Russians. This battle was an incident in a struggle of unusual severity now in progress along a front of more than 100 miles, from Bartfeld, northern Hungary, to Stry, easter Galicia. Petrograd reports both sides are attacking simultaneously and that the losses are heavy. Each side is making claims of success. The Austrians assert the Muscovite invaders have been held in check since March 20, but an official statement from Petrograd declares fighting is in progress more than 14 miles to the south of Dukla pass, which would indicate 'a considerable Russian advance in the direction of the Hungarian plains. The Teutonic forces still hold Uzekse pass and continue their ceaseless counter attacks, but Wednesday night the Russians announced the capture of three more heights within four or five miles of that vital gateway. Reider Enters Drydock Newport News, Va. — Permission to enter drydock was given Commander Thierfelder of the German raider Kronprinz Wilhelm by United States officials here. A survey of the repairs necessary to the ship will be made. Later the state department is expected to give formal authorization for any repairs that may be necessary. Commander Thierfelder, aroused by reports that he had been ordered to intern his ship, renewed his declaration that he intends to put to sea again. Babe Strangles Self Akron, O.-Coroner E. S. Lyons pronounced as accidental the death of the one-year-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Brown, Barberon, who strangled himself while his mother was in police court testifying against her husband, who was charged with beating her. Tuesday morning Mrs. Brown tied the child in his high chair and left her five-year-old son Roy to watch the infant. The child slipped through the fastenings and they caught about his neck. His mother found the body. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There died in Montgomery a short time ago a Scotchman who did a noble work in the education of the Negro race in Alabama, and his passing has made a vacancy that will not be easy to fill. His name was W. B. Paterson; his fame was purely local, for he did not make the big noise, and because he was a white man conducting a Negro school he did not get the notoriety that has been such a factor in the upbuilding of the noted Negro educators of the South. Professor Paterson drifted in Alabama about 1870, looking for work. He was homeless and friendless, afflicted with an incurable deafness that made social intercourse an impossibility with him. He had tramped from New York to Omaha and then back East looking for work, but could find none. By trade he was a gardener. His forehears before him had been gardeners on the estate of a Scotch Laird Albemarle, or some such name, and he had learned their trade. He got a job at Marion, on a plantation, digging ditches and doing ordinary farm work along with the Negroes, and this proximity taught him the exact condition of the Negro's intelligence and educational advancement. Out of it came a Negro school that grew until it became a state normal with a large patronage. The plantation owner for whom he worked took a fancy to him and helped him on with the first school, and with this encouragement he built up an establishment that was too large for Marion. The Scotch gardener had his eye on the state capital, and he made his plans to move his school there. When it became known in Montgomery that a white man was going to move Negro school to that city, a mass meeting of the citizens was held and speeches were made, as Professor Paterson often afterward said, "they almost tarred and feathered him." This latter was in a figurative sense only. Nothing daunted, the schoolmaster moved his school to Montgomery, and went quietly about his business. He conducted an orderly institution; he taught the Negroes domestic science, manual training, trades, the dignity of labor, the value of keeping in the place the white people of the South said the Negro must keep. There was no social equality of the races there, and never in the more than forty years of the life of the school under Professor Paterson was there so much as an infirmation that he taught such or practiced it. The Negroes had great and grave reverence for him, that was almost patriarchal in its simplicity. Montgomery quieted down after the school was settled, and in a few years began to look upon it as an asset and on Professor Paterson as a public benefactor. Year by year he increased the membership of his school, and in order to make it self-sustaining and to make it possible for the students to pay their way through, he placed them in the homes of Montgomery as servants, fixing the school hours so that they could do their domestic work and carry on their studies too. His training made itself felt for the servants in Montgomery, and they were in demand. Montgomery is now full of them, and they all command high wages because they can earn them. That in itself is tribute enough for the school and for the memory of this good man. Of the thousands that went through this school, some were found to pos- Christ church, Providence, was the first effort of the late Rev. Dr. Crummell, following his ordination in St. Paul's church, Boston, in 1842. He soon relinquished it. Rev. Mr. Stokes, ordained by Bishop Whittington, in St. James' church, Baltimore, in 1843 organized St. Luke's church. New Haven, the following June. In a year or so, having been priested by the bishop of Connecticut, Mr. Stokes yielded to his old friend, whom he had known in Baltimore, Bishop Henshaw, and moved to Providence. About 1850 he went to Africa as a missionary. The Providence church was left without a pastor, and it seems to have gradually gone out of existence. What became of the money from the sale of the church we do not know. During all our experience, we have never known any two white priests more devoted to the welfare of the colored people, than the late Calibraht B. Perry and Robert H. Paine. If I mistake not, both of them were natives of Rhode Island. Here is a splendid opportunity for the friends of Messrs. Perry, Paine and Crummell Honduras, in Central America, reports a quiet and prosperous period for the year 1912-13. Actual receipts exceeded expenditures by $103,000. There were no political disturbances of any character. It is about as large as the state of Pennsylvania. In a London museum is a clock which indicates on the main dial the Greenwich time, and on eight smaller ones the time in as many large cities in the world. The clock also tells the date and has a barometer attached. The markings on a graduated measuring glass invented in Germany are made along a zigzag line instead of a vertical one and, having wider spaces between, are said to be read more accurately. There is a plant growing on mountains in Central Europe that develops enough heat to push its flower stalks through snow and produce blossoms. Considering the way they have been ground down, the people of this country get along pretty well. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1915 sees intelligence and scholarship enough for higher training, and they were given it, and today they fill places of responsibility as teachers and principals and superintendents of Negro public schools in the large cities of Alabama and neighboring states.—Mobile Register. About two years ago St. Augustine's mission among the colored people of Providence, R. L. was initiated, writes a correspondent of The Living Church. From a recent account in a church paper, I note the following: "The church building used for the services is rented property, and is likely to be sold at any moment." The purpose of this article is to point out that as early as 1843 there was a parish of colored people in Providence, "Christ church;" that the parish having gone out of existence, the money for freeing the church building from debt having been raised in England by a colored priest, and turned over to the diocesan authorities in trust, it seems to me that in this emergency the diocesan authorities should welcome the opportunity for making restitution. Here is an extract from the Episcopal address of Bishop Henshaw, in 1849, which throws light upon the matter: "At the time of the meeting of the last annual convention, Rev Eli W Stokes, rector of Christ church in this city, was absent, in Europe, for the purpose of soliciting funds to liquidate the debt by which that parish has been embarrassed ever since their house of worship was erected. In consequence of a certificate required by the laws of England, furnished by me, he was received with great kindness by the archbishops, bishops and clergy of our mother church; and I am happy to inform you that his mission was crowned with entire success, and the liberal contributions which he received in that distant land have enabled the gentlemen holding the properly in trust to make a satisfactory settlement with the mortgagees. The congregation is now free from debt, and our colored brethren have wisely made over their corporate property to the 'board of commissioners for church building' with a view of security against embarrassment and incumbrance for the time to come. The Christian generosity with which our English brethren answered the appeal made to them in behalf of that teeble parish has been duly acknowledged in a letter addressed by me to his grace the archbishop of Canterbury, and through him to the church over which he worthy presides." District Commissioner Louis Brownlow and Charles E. Nesbit, superintendent of insurance of the district, were speakers at a meeting in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church, under the auspices of the trustees and Men's club of the church, relates the Washington Star. The commissioner spoke of the value of vocational training, and declared that improvement in living conditions is responsible for a reduction in the mortality rate of the colored population of Washington. Mr. Nesbit urged the men's clubs of colored churches to take an interest in insurance matters, with the object of protecting members of their race against the practices of unscrupulous companies. to honor them in making this church at Providence, for colored people, all that it ought to be, and a fitting memorial to these pioneer laborers among the colored people. Alexander Crummell was the first black man to be ordained to the ministry of the church on the soil of New England. Christ church, Providence, was the first parish of colored persons ever organized in the territory of New England. And it was the very first colored church, anywhere in the United States, to be received into union with a diocesan convention. Three colored men sat as deputies from that parish at the diocesan convention which met in St. Stephen's church, Providence, in June, 1843.—George F. Bragg, Jr., in the Living Church. One of the poorest imitations is that given by the woman who is trying to simulate indifference to the fact that she wasn't invited to the party. There is no particular reason for it, but the effeminate man is always called "Lizzie."

TEUTON SEA RAIDER IS NOW IN U.S. PORT Kronprinz Wilhelm, Crow Facing Starvation Seeks Sanctuary at Newport News. SHIP SCOURGE SWEPT. BUNKERS EMPTY Former North German Lloyd Liner Had Been at Sea 255 Days, During Which Time She Sank Fifteen Merchantmen. Newport News, Va. — The last of Germany's sea raiders, the Kronprinz Wilhelm, scourge swept, her crew facing starvation, her bunkers empty, barred from New York harbor by the perpetual guard of British cruisers, sought sanctuary here Sunday. Commander Thierfeldt, on his arrival in port, explained that his ship was badly in need of repairs. Her bottom, he said, was foul and the boilers needed overhauling. He stated that he would request permission to have the repairs made here. The sinking of the Norwegian sailing ship Samantha, the only neutral vessel sent down by the Kronprinz, was almost a duplication of the sinking of the American bark William P. Frye by the Frinz Eitel, her sister raider. Asked why he sank the Norwegian vessel, Commander Thierfeldt said: "She was carrying contraband of war. She had a cargo of wheat which I believed was intended for the use of the British army and navy." The auxiliary cruiser had been at sea 253 days, during which time she sank 15 merchantmen. Twelve of these were British, two French and one Norwegian. Her last victims were the British royal mail steamship Tamar and British steamer Coleby. The appearance of the Kronprinz Wilhelm just one day after the interment of the Prinz Eltz Friedier created great surprise. When last heard from the Kronprinz was in the South Atlantic, She had been reported sunk half a dozen times. The big liner, 613 feet in steam, a 1,700 tons displacement, steamed majestically up the Hampstead Roads early in the morning and was directed to an anchorage of the plant of the Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. by the U. S. submarine G.I. Collector of Customs Norman R. Hamilton immediately boarded the vessel and held an extensive conference with Commander Thierfeldt. During the conference Lieut. Ford, attached to Admiral Fletcher's staff, came alongside in a launch from the Wyoming and joined the conference. Later reporters were invited aboard by Commander Thierfeldt. He said he was too tired to talk, but directed that members of his staff show the visitors over the ship. Commander Thierfeldt, however, gave a brief but graphic description of his voyage to Dr. Hal McCafferty, United States quarantine 'officer at Old Point. "We were chased by British cruisers three times," said Commander Thierfeldt, "but were fortunate enough to escape each time, although some of the escapes were too close for comfort. "Since leaving New York 255 days ago we have touched at no port. For weeks we were forced to eat rice to live, and that is responsible for the 66 cases of illness aboard. The men are suffering from beriberi. "After a while, though, we captured and sank a French steamer and got provisions and stores which lasted us a long time. Among them were 10,000 bags of coffee." Gives All to Church. Milton, Pa. — A leading society woman here has given up her entire fortune to the Presbyterian church. Deeply impressed by the word picture drawn by an evangelist of the position of the rich young ruler who declined to accept Christ's ultimatum to forsake all and follow him, she made her way to the home of the Rev. B. J. Brinkman and placed in his hands bonds to the value of more than $50,000. She told the preacher of her determination to give up all for Christ. The woman's name is withheld. Arguments Prove Fatal Piqua, O.—Arguments resulted in the death of two persons and the fatal wounding of another in this vicinity. Lon Roberts shot and killed William Williams at Conover and then fired a bullet into his own brain, dying instantly. Both were farmers. In a dispute over money here, Giles Joiner, colored, shot and fatally wounded another negro. Joiner escaped, but his brother John, who is said to have been involved in the dispute, was arrested. The Joiners live in Columbus. LACE FOR THE NECK NEW STYLES ARE EFFECTIVE IN THE EXTREME. Aside From This Dainty Touch, All Lace Gowns Are Coming Back into Favor—Something About the New Costume. The tight bodice, with the square decolletage in front and elbow sleeves, has been introduced into afternoon and evening frocks, and it has a touch of fine lace with a blue velvet bow to give softness to the neck. It allows many women a chance to appear their best in the evening, for it lends dignity, whereas the sleeveless bodice with the jeweled shoulder straps or the mist of illusion floating over the upper part of the body was not in keeping with certain figures of characters. Another pictorial fashion which has been exploited by both Beer and Callot, and therefore will be extensively taken up, is the use of old and new lace frocks. It has been a long time since all-lace gowns were in the first fashion, although they never quite went out. This summer they will be revived with enthusiasm. It is not as strange that they should be introduced in a season of great lace-making depression as we thought when the first report of it came, for all the fabric places were limited this year in Europe, and large and rich houses in which fine materials are stored thought it wise to use what they had, trusting to the future to give them a wider variety of choice. Splendid old lace flounces are used for skirts, beneath which there are placed finely shaded satin flowers. The revival of real lace has suggested the festooning of draperies on both the skirt and bodice, and flowers of silver gauze are used. Along with such gowns as Irlandise and Kitchener and Joffre has come a martial manner among the more versatile women. They walk with shoulders back, instead of a collapsed chest. They step along in a spirited way instead of sliding about. They are clean-cut and well put together. War is be that this feature in the new way of dressing will do more to change the figure and the prevailing idea underlying clothes than anything else. War is in the air and it is, therefore, bound to be reflected in some way in women's apparel. Possibly the reflection will be in braid ```markdown ``` Model of White Serge Embroidered in Blue Soutache. Blouse of White Tulle Embroidered in Blue. and buttons, in khaki coats and leather belts, but in a more upright carriage and less artificiality in a more direct outlook on everything, therefore on the way one dresses. But leaping from philosophy to detail, there was never such a fashion for patent leather as now. It has been brought out in dark blue, an absolute innovation. Belts, collar and cuffs, hems to street suits, pockets and many other accessories are fashioned of it. Khaki colored serge and gabardine are in favor, more so than the khaki itself. Short jackets that have huge pockets above and below the belt, fastened over with a pointed flap and a brass button, are made by all the tailors. And as for military buttons, there is no end to them. Many have some kind of insignia on them, though of course, the proper one, used by the allied armies, is not permitted. Lace-Trimmed Hats Laces play an interesting part on the picturesque big hats for spring. PETTICOAT BACK IN FAVOR Garment is Now Made More Than Ordinarily Attractive, and Seems to Be Here to Stay. As the breezes blow the full skirts in all directions one cannot fail to notice the return of the petticoat. So glad are petticoats to be favored once again that they are doing their best to please their wearers. A very pretty petticoat of white crepe de chine is trimmed with the old-fashioned puffing between two rows of lace insertion. The bottom of the skirt falls in ripples. The increased width of the outer skirt naturally calls for a wide underskirt. It is for this reason that manufacturers have placed a dust ruffle of lining on many new petticoats, the ruffle being necessary to hold out the full flounce of the petticoat. The vivid greens, reds and blues that were once so popular are out of favor this season. In their place the colors that bid fair to be most in demand are tan, gray, taupe; wistaria, dark blue, dark green, rose and brown. DAINTY MODEL FOR SPRING Embodies All the Latest Effects That Have Come Into Recent Popularity. The picture shows one of the daintiest of spring models. Spring weather has brought out the latest productions of the Parisian and "made in America" fashion originators. After a walk in the New York shopping district, one could not help but think that a fashion show in which thousands of WILLIAM T. BELLEVILLE dainty manikins were participating was taking place on the avenue. The suit shown is of the favorite fawn-colored cavat cloth with the popular circular skirt. The jacket is three-quarter length pointed on the sides. A fawn-colored suede belt and a slightly standing collar complete the suit. The tam o' shanter hat is of white corduroy velvet with two tassels on the side. The shoes are laced on the side and a little rosette at the top of the lacing sets off the white kid tops. BLOUSES MATCH BEIGE SUITS Garments That Will Readily Be Seen to Have Many Points of Advantage. To match the beige-colored suits are offered pongee silk blouses built on tailored lines with high, turn-over collar and rolling cuffs. The fronts of such blouses are usually box-plaited and fastened with ivory buttons in ball shape. The excellent point about these models, aside from their matching quality, is that they launder very easily. To add variety to the line, there are pongee waists trimmed with dyed laces; and still others that are hand embroidered in floss the color of the blouse material. Like many other waists of the period, certain of the models have the convertible collar, acceptable for either cool weather or warm weather wear. The trilled blouse is back again. It is made of cotton volle, of georgette crepe or of striped fillet marquisette. Its salient feature is the one-side jabot, which is usually edged with lace. When there is a yoke it is apt to show a scalloped edge, sometimes piped with a contrasting color. A lot of gold and soutache braiding is being tried out on blouses that start out to be plain and then seem to undergo a change and finish by being a semidress model. It is known that Paris is quite mad on the subject of braid trimming; and this, of course, means an adoption of the same on this side of the Atlantic. American women have never been very partial to glittering ornamentation, particularly in connection with daytime attire. It may be, however, that the lure of gold as presented by French artists will prove more tempting this season than in times gone by. Both shadow and heavy laces enter into the composition of recent blouses. There is nothing startlingly new about this, since laces of these types have been used off and on for many seasons. The Side of the Skirt. At the sides of the skirts the greatest changes have taken place. Gathers, plains, circular insets and even pockets are introduced. The combination of black and white is also strong. New Towels. Some of the newest Turkish towels have an initial quite four or five inches long, worked in French knots at the left of the towel above the border, instead of in the center, as is usually done. For a man's use towels worked with these large letters are very good looking. Among the newest designs for small guest towels is one of a fine damask of a very small pattern without a woven border. The latter is hemstitched on and consists of an inch-wide hem of colored linen, pink of blue. The initial may be embroidered in white on the hem or worked on the towel itself in a color to correspond with the hem. New Tunics. Sometimes the tunic is cut short in front and so long in back that it completely hides the foundation skirt, its extremely short in the back. In the front the foundation skirt of child on shows for three or four inches. CAP and BELLS HOW DID HE KNOW THE SIZE? Happy Thought Comes to Assistance of Young Man Who Wished to Purchase Jeweled Belt. A man who had recently become engaged to a charming young girl chanced to be in a fashionable shop when his eye caught a glimpse of a jeweled belt that seemed to him an acceptable gift for his fiancee. He asked a clerk to place an assortment of the belts on the counter. "Ladies' belt?" queried the polite salesman. "Certainly, sir; what size?" The young man blushed. "Really," he stammered. "I don't know." And he gazed about him helplessly for a moment or so. Finally a happy thought appeared to strike him. "Can't you let me have a yardstick for a moment?" he asked. The yardstick being forthcoming, he placed it along the inside of his arm from shoulder to wrist. Then, looking up at the clerk, he exclaimed triumphantly. "Twenty inches."—Philadelphia Ledger.
