FROM ONE OF OUR SOLDIERS Thousands of Miles Away in Far-Off Honolulu. Schofield Barracks, Hawaii Territory. June I, 1817. Editor June 1, 1974 Gazette, Dear Sir:—The gloomy days and the wagons with the eagles of heaven ever since 1776. Of all the dangers that have charged upon our prosperous fields, not one was great enough to trail the noble flag upon the face of the earth. And as long as the people of the United States exist, no I hope will ever be masterful and ingenious enough to pull "Old Glory" from the wings of the air and trample her under its feet. I am a lover of all mankind and a member of the race of men, and we can ostracism is foisted. Our forefathers were true from Lexington to the Civil war, and we, their sons, have stood the test from Cuba to Carriazal, and in this hour of crisis, patriotism is our theme. In most of the southern states my people are robbed of their rights. Shame! In this age of progress men are low and barbarians enough to lynch slainless women. Granfather of the American acts are used in the South to evade the fifteenth amendment of the U. S. constitution. They have interpreted the constitution in many cases, to mean anything but what it does; they, without the sanction of the law, burn men, take their property, rob our children of schooling, and still for the sake of humanity, for the love of freedom, and for the independence of the people, we have part, the moment the subject of war began to stretch its wings upon the horizon of the good will of men, Afro-Americans with that thrill of loyalty to the flag automatically forgot the wrongs done them, stepped forward and took up arms. On April 19 the rays of the sun were very warm and as I traveled across the state of Ohio, the beloved women had on their large aprons with their little plots. All are fighting a great battle for the honor of the country. I am a Republican, but the moment congress sanctioned the recommendations of the President, I gave up my occupation, my law studies at Blackstone Institute and all other employment. I was willing to be wounded, willing to die for the prosperity of future generations, and I pray that the day will soon come when all men-regardless of race, color, nationality or creed, just so they be citizens of the U. S., will be treated as such. "This is a government of the people, for the people and by the people." Sincerely, Wellington H. Lamley. Private 25th Regiment, U. S. A. SOUTHERN SIDELIGHTS. The following comes to us as an authentic manifestation of the nobility and chivalry of the grand old south. A Colored man intended coming to Omaha and informed his employer he would quit the following Saturday. This man had worked at the one job for a title over seventy years. He right and when the man went about his business, he called up the sheriff and told him that he was going to send his "nigger" down street on an errand and that he should stop him and search him. He then called in his "nigger" and told him to carry his revolver to a smith and have fixed the rifle and gun; makes arrest; Colored man gets six months of county doar. That is what we call real southern white genius.—Omaha (Neb.) Monitor. "WE SHOULD WORRY." If they do not want us to fight, we will work. We will walk 'into' the industrial shoes of a few million whites who go to the front. We will get higher wages and we cannot be stopped from migrating by all the devilry of the slave South; particularly with the white lynchers and mob leaders away at war. We be ousted when the white soldiers come back? THEY WON'T COME BACK!—The Crisis ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. HOOVER'S WARNING Says Food Control Alone Can Stop High Prices. Asserts American People Lost Millions of Dollars Through Speculators. Washington, D. C.—Food speculators have been taking $50,000,000 a month for the last five months—a total of a quarter of a billion dollars—from the American people. Horburt C. Hoover told senators in explaining the purpose of the food control bill now before congress. Disclaiming entirely that the bill sets up a food dictatorship, Hoover told senators its purposes were entirely to organize the resources of the country and the people themselves into a food administration to limit middlemen's commissions and prevent extortion. Here are some of the potent factors he told with an intenseness that made deep impression even on some senators opposing the measure: "The administration of food control is to decomp largely on volunteer, patriotic support of the people—from producer to consumer. "There is no desire to enforce by law, rules and regulations on the people's diet. Such might be suggested, but they would be voluntary on the part of the people. "Control is needed only over food conservation and distribution. "Speculators must be stopped. The American people lost $250,000,000 in five months through speculators in flour. Some one is taking $5 per barrel which belongs to the people. "We must save our supplies even from our allies lest the pull of the European vacuum leaves us short in the spring. "The present high cost of living is such that labor cannot be properly nourished at the present wage level. There must be a change or great social disturbance." Hoover warned the senators that food control alone can prevent further tremendous increases in food prices. RUSSIA'S PLEDGE TO THE ROOT MISSION Washington, D. C.-Russia's pledge made in a lengthy address by Foreign Minister Teresutchenke to the Root commission on June 15, has just reached the state department. The pledge says that Russia will fight until German autocracy and militarism are crushed. Ambassador Francis at Petrograd cabled the full text of the foreign minister's speech. The foreign minister spoke in English, in part, as follows: "The revolution in Russia is a moral factor, which shows the will of the Russian people in its endeavor to secure liberty and justice and three ways to show to show not only their internal affairs which we ourselves have to lead and in which we wish to be guided by these principles, but also in our international policies. And now let us stand together, for we pursue the same endeavor in the war and in the peace which is to follow. We have brought upon us three years ago and which the Russian revolution found when it entered the struggle of free nations, left but one door for us to enter and by that door we have opened a path. The Russian people strive to the end of militarism and to a durable peace which would exclude every violence which would harm our country and imperil imperial schemes whoever their form may be." SIMS HEADS THE ALLY FLEET IN IRISH WATERS London, England. — An American man-o-war is the flagship of the combined naval forces of the United States and Great Britain in Irish waters, the chief scene of German U-boat activity. It is officially announced that Vice Admiral Sims; U. S. N., has been appointed to take complete charge of operations in these waters pending the absence of the British commander-in-chief. Immediately upon the appointment, the flag of the American commander was hoisted as that of the senior officer in charge. Provides for Paper-Control. Washington, D. C. — Senator Owen has introduced a joint resolution providing for government-regulation of the manufacture, sale and distribution of print paper. It would authorize the president to appoint an agency, under the jurisdiction of the department of commerce, to take over and operate during the war print paper mills in the United States and to secure the cooperation of the Canadian government in the creation of a similar commission. BRIG. GEN. W. A. WHITE Brig. Gen. W. A. White of the British army with a staff of officers is now in the United States obtaining recruits for the British army from among the many British subjects in this country. TOPROTECT THE PEOPLE Release Food From Grip of Speculators. That Is Object of Naming Hoover Administrator, Says President. Washington, D. C.—That much criticised bill stealing the office of food controller began its stormy passage through congress June 18. Nevertheless, the administration is behind the bill with all its might. President Wilson addressed a letter to Representative Borloud making it plain that he would hold congress responsible for any unheard-of rise in food prices. The president, in his letter, said that: the appointment of Herbert Hoover as food administrator is to release the food of the country from the grip of speculators and other persons who seek to make inordinate profit out of it, and to protect the people against the extortions which would result from speculation. The letter to Borland follows: "You are quite right about the food administration measure. In my opinion, it is one of the most important and most imperatively necessary of the measures which have been prepared in connection with the war. A certain disservice has been done the measure, speaking of it as the food control bill. "The object of the measure is not to control the food of the country, but to release it from the control of speculators and other persons who would seek to consider the measures they play in and to protect the people against the extortions which would result. "It seems to me that those who oppose the measure ought very seriously to consider the measures they play in and to protect the people against the extortions which would result. They succeed, for the extraordinary and atrocious price of food in the United States. Foodstuffs will, if of course, inevitably be high, but it is possible by perfectly legitimate means to keep them from being unreasonable and oppressive in their hope and believe that the congress will see the measure in this light and that it will come to an early passage. For time is of essence. The legislation should be made to take the country safe against the dangers it is meant to guard against." Washington. — Every means of stimulating business should be used now, says President Wilson in a letter to E. P. V. Rowe, the Merchant and Manufacturer's Exchange of New York city. Ritter wrote the president concerning the advisability of making commercial conversions during the war. "I not only see no reason why commercial' conventions' should be omitted during the war, the prela- lerate work but should regret to see any instrumentality neglected which has provided service in stimulating business and facilitat- ing its process. The war only now a time to allow any slowing up of business, but is a time when every sensible process of stimula- tion should be used." American Ship Is Torpedoed. New York City. — The oil tank steamship John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil Co. has been sunk by a submarine. The announcement was made at the offices of the company here. Three members of the tanker's crew were lost. The John D. Archbold was two days out enroute to this country from France. The ship was armed and a gun crew from an American warship was on board. The gun crew was saved. The John D. Archbold was a ship of 8,374 tons gross register. TRUSTEES UPHOLD MISS BURROUGHS Pass Resolutions In Which They Command President's Conduct of National Institution For Women and Girls in Washington—Latter Celebrates Close of Most Successful Year. Washington. For months there have been, wild speculations as to what would be the attitude of the trustee board of the National Training School for Women and Girls, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is president, in regard to the Rodgers recommendation. The board met at the institution during the commencement and passed the following resolution: Resolved, That the trustee board, in regular session assembled, declare that they are legally and rightly the custodians of the National Training School for Women. The Baptist convention committed at its last session, 1956 (recommended by Auditor Rodkers), concerning the transfer of the National Training School for Women to the Baptist convention auxiliary to the national Baptist convention are already protected by its board of eighty trustees, as specifically set forth in article 11 in bylaws 1 and 12 of the corporation. Do it further resolved. That we have implicit faith and confidence in the capability and unwavering integrity of the preacher, and in the ability to direct the affairs of the National Training School For Women and Girls, Inc., and urge the hearty cooperation of all local Baptists and all others interested in the mission of the National Training School for positions of trust and labor. By united efforts we can hope glorify God, build up the kingdom, live up to our sacred trust and uphold the high standards and values of our girls for positions of trust and labor. This clears the sky for the school and keeps it out of the great battle that has been raging among national Baptists for over two years. It was evident from the beginning that neither legally nor morally could those trustees do less than they have done and expect the school to live. The acceptance of the Rodgers "scheme" would have meant death and destruction to a $75,000 plant that has been built up by one woman he seven years. Then, too, the trustees could not transfer the property. To whom would they transfer it? Neither the woman's convention nor the national Baptist convention is incorporated, so they claim. Who then would become legally responsible for the school if the trustees step down and out? It does seem that certain of our Baptist brethren have lost their money. People are not going to invest money in a school that is in the hands of people who are not legally responsible for their acts. So far as Miss Burroughs is concerned she needs no vindication. Her work is her defense. She is a hard working, honest, conscientious, far visioned, brave leader, and the people will stand by her regardless of how some of those opposed to her think or feel. Their gifts have been published for eight years, and they are simply declaring that the woman's convention cannot reverse itself without injury to those who have carried out the provisions of a charter submitted, accepted and published eight years ago. The trustees simply stood up in defense of the trust committed to them. The attendance was the largest at any meeting in the history of the school. Many who could not come sent their proxies with definite instructions that they stood against anything that would interfere in the leash with the school as it now stands. The hearts of the trustees were made glad when Miss Burroughs formally turned over a new library building and reported the purchase of the This addition of over $7,000 in realty and buildings makes 1017 the year of greatest progress in the history of the school. The enrollment was the largest. Every teacher is paid in full. The trustees are in debt to Mur Burrows, but they arranged to start a campaign to pay the faithful, self-sacrificing head official. Friends have already sent in response to an appeal over 3,000 books for the new library. The school had already nearly 4,000 volumes. The commencement exercises were a fitting climax to the most successful year the school has had. Twenty-two young women received certificates and diplomas.

The fiscal year of the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York city, Rev. A. Chayton Powell, D. D. pastor, raised in May. The reports at the annual corporate meeting showed that this religious real estate corpora- tion received the high water mark of its financial prosperity last year. During the past twelve months the corporation raised from all sources $25,174.53. The church offerings alone totaled $12, 003.36, or a little over $1,000 per month; $10,000 was paid on the principal, and the secretary of the trustee board report- ed a balance on hand of $0,095.74. When Dr. Powell took charge of the congregation eight years ago the corpo- ration owed $150,000, and the membership was very much divided. It is now one of the best organized churches in the country, and the indebtedness has been reduced to $124,000. This church is widely known for its benevolence. During the year last ended the following amounts were given through the trustee board: Education, $249.25; foreign missions, $179.37; home missions, $201.60. In addition to this, benevolent work was done by the following auxiliaries: Board of deacons, $250.90; Sunday school, $60.25; B. Y. P. U., $45; female ushers, $18; male ushers, $15.50; Sunday morning band, $24.83. The Highway and Hedges society gave to needy children and adults 1,132 pieces of clothing, stupty nine pairs of shoes, fifty-seven hats, $71.27 in money and served a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day to forty-eight children. The Missionary society sent out ninety baskets of food during the year to poor families and assisted others in cash with $181.09. There are six young men of this church studying for the ministry—one at Virginia seminary and five at Union university. Dr. Powell pays the entire expenses of one of these young men from the sale of his sermons, and the church helps all of them. ENCOURAGE RACE ARTISTS. Let Poeta and Musicians Know Their Efforts Are Appreciated. New York. — Mrs. Minnie Walter French, the talented daughter of the late John R. Waller, sometime United States consul at Madagascar, has written a clever little sketch, musical and literary, entitled "A Meeting of the Young People's Improvement League," the object being to popularize the musical and literary productions of Negro composers and authors. At the invitation of Ye Friends of Shakespeare Mrs. French and her company of clever young ladies appeared before that organization in its hall. In the Lafayette building, New York city, recently and presented the sketch to the infinite delight of a large and appreciative gathering of the society and its friends. The novelty of the program rendered, the high character of the number given by each participant and the excellence of its rendition evoked the highest commendation from the audience, and the society critic, Egbert Figaro, praised the ladies taking part in it, saying that he had been made provider than ever of being identified with the race in being permitted to listen to a program of such excellence and rendered by members of the race in such a creditable and thoroughly interesting manner. Mrs. French is a popular New York vocalist and possesses a voice of unusual purity and sweetness. Following in the sketch given under her able direction. Doubtless Negro literary societies, churches and Sabbath schools will see in this program a suggestion worth considering ir future. Instead of using poems, prose and musical selections of white authors, they will select the best productions from the pens of Negro authors and thus inspire the younger generation to aspire and at the same time be teaching the masses what the race has accomplished along these lines. The sketch is staged to represent a meeting of the Young People's Improvement league. The meeting is held in the home of one of its members. Characters—President. Mrs. Mays; scouts.

Eagle RACIAL LEADER NOW FOURSCORE Speakers of Note Tell What "Lost of the Old Guard" Has Done For the Uplift and Encouragement of His Race. Long List of Offices Held by Guest of Honor. BY R. W. THOMPSON. Washington—Two hundred members of the race, representing the flower of American manhood, participated recently in a delightful reception and luncheon at Odd Fellows' hall tendered to former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback in commemoration of the eightieth anniversary of his birth. The occasion is conceded to have been the most notable of its kind ever held in the nation's capital. The direction of the affair was in the hands of a committee headed by Judge Robert H. Terrell, chairman; R. W. Thompson, corresponding secretary; HON. P. B. S. PINCHBACK. W. J. Singleton, financial secretary; J. Finley Wilson, recording secretary, and John T. Howe, treasurer, supported by auxiliaries for various departments of the work. Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court of the District of Columbia acted as master of ceremonies and set a warm pace at the outset by his wit, humor, ready, grasp-of situations and felicity of utterance in introducing the various speakers. The race's only judge of a recognized court enjoys an invisible reputation throughout the country as a toastmaster and added new laurels to his brow on this occasion. His opening speech and tribute to Governor Pinchback was a gem of personal appreciation and a reservoir of historical lore worthy of preservation in pamphlet form. The addresses which followed were pitched in one key—that of veneration and respect for the "last of the old guard," a hearty recognition of the great work he has done for the uplift of his people, a sympathetic appreciation of the countless sacrifices he has made in his battle for our constitutional privileges and equality of citizenship as 100 per cent Americans. His constructive labors as a soldier in the civil war, his proud record as the chief executive of a sovereign state—marvelous in the light of more recent events—his election to the legislature of his great commonwealth, then his victorious campaign for the post of congressmen at large, and finally his brilliant dash for the United States state, to which he was fairly and squarely elected—all came in for exhaustive and laudatory review. His telling services to the race in other federal positions, such as surveyor of the port at New Orleans and as a special agent for the bureau of international affairs, in New Orleans board of education, were also given prominence. Not only this, but his sturdy allegiance to the organizations that contended for the civic advancement of the race, such as the National Afro-American council, was extolled. The thrilling story of his sensational race with Henry C. Warmth, a claimant for the Louisiana governorship, was told amid cheers. The response of Governor Pinchback to the mountain of encomiums that has been heaped upon him was tender, gracious and in a-reln of the profoundest gratitude. He said he had simply tried to do his duty as he saw it. He had made his record and must stand or fall by it. There had been times when he had felt that much of his labor had been in vain, but the cordial good will and hearty appreciation expressed on this occasion had shown all such forebodings to have been unfounded, and from now on he would take on a new inspiration—a vigor of spirit, mind and body. He regretted that his advanced age prevented him from again taking up the cudgels for his people, for the present crisis, with its new problems, is one that will require the best energies and highest capacity of every man to meet. He looked for the Negro to "come back" in the early future to the battle before us a leadership will be developed that will lead the hosts onward to even greater victories than those of the past.

INHUMANITY AT HOME Press dispatches last week from Memphis, Tenn., reported the burning to death of a Negro murderer near that city. He was bound to a tree drenched with oil, and then set on fire after being identified by the mother of the white girl whom he had killed. Between two and three thousand persons—men, women and children—witnessed the execution. Hundreds of automobiles patrolled the roads leading to the scene to prevent any interference on the part of the authorities. "There was no disorder and little excitement," reads the dispatch of the Associated Press. "The mob was with us, and we were all in shock." It persisted after the burning." An investigation of the affair will perhaps be made by a Grand Jury; but, as usual, nothing will come of it. And we talk about atrocities committed by soldiers in France, Belgium etc.; of ruthless U-boat warfare, Zep pelin barbarities, etc.! Yet, for utter inhumanity, the World War will probably produce nothing to equal the Memoirs of the French who are attached with "no disorder and the excitement" renders futtle any atempt at palliation. — Notre Dame (Ind.)

Editor Gazette: — Dear Sir: Oh! friend, our leader, our hero, our head has been taken from us, our heart is sore, we have been hurt, and life is ashes to our lips. A hundred a day I pray: "God rest his soul!" And in the still night-watches I breathe: "Eternal rest give unto him, Oh! Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him." If ever a man died a martyr, our great and good friend, Senator Foraker did. For ten long years, bitter ingratiate (the scalawags; mean; shame!) and gross treachery from those who owed all to him; calumny and abuse, misrepresentation—ALL, he has had to bear. Add the loss of a beloved son and ill friend, however, he has bear all. As a loyal follower of the master he drank the cup to the dregs. Ah! "It is well with him.

Without it, no matter how much or what amount of iron you need, you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and crumbling. You don't grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test. See how long you can work after meals for two weeks without becoming tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary muxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. See how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous run-down people living with iron deficiency and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and pancreatitis, and form four ways time simply by taking iron proper form. And this, after they had inundated themselves with any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron. Iron acetate, or zinc acetate, have a few benefits. The iron demanded by nature for the red color matter in the body is not sufficient to grow in a soil deficient in iron.

National Training School DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA HINTSCOAL GAMBLING Federal Trade Commission Urges Fuel Control. Says Situation Threatens Industries as Well as individuals in U.S. Washington, D. C. — Drastic wartime government control was urged for coal, coke and transportation by the federal trade commission, as the only adequate remedy for an alarming coal price and supply situation. The recommendations are revolutionary. Complying with congressional requests for a coal investigation, the commission pointed out that the coal situation threatens industries and individuals, and recommended: "First: That production and distribution of coal and coke be conducted through a pool in the hands of a government agency; that the producers be paid cost of production plus a uniform profit, with allowance for quality of product and efficiency of service. "Second: That the transportation agencies, rail and water, be similarly pooled and operated on government account under the direction of the president, as a unit; the own corporations being paid a fair compensation which would cover normal net profit, upkeep and betterments." Gambling in coal has been going on. And, to meet the shortage in bituminous coal, many industries have used anthracite in steaming sizes, thus lowering the output of domestic sizes.

Fifteen Ohio counties, two in Michigan and one in Indiana were represented in the attendance of 3,500. Two state masters, L. J. Taber of Ohio and John C. Ketcham of Michigan, were the speakers.

In her bill of complaint the woman lays great stress on the unusual repugnance of her husband to bathing.

Use of Bloomers Matching Dress Approved for Girls From Four to Eight Years Old. Smocking is the trimming favored above all others in development of simple serviceable little frocks for children. The dress shown in the sketch skews its distinction entirely to the use of smocking, which trims the pockets and confines the fullness of the little frock below the yoke, so that an empire-waisted dress rather than a mere yoked model is the result. The dress buttons in the center back. The yoke cuts straight across the back, omitting the elongated or panel effect featured in front. To make this frock for a four or six year old girl two and a quarter yards of material 36 inches wide will be required. In fashioning these serviceable little tub frocks the use of little bloomers matching the dress is strongly approved. This does away with the need of petticoats, which are an abomination to the average sturdy youngster. Colored bloomers, a pair to match every tub frock, will be found well worth while for the girl of four to eight years, says the Washington Star. The average girl child of more than eight years old would be inclined to scorn bloomers and prefer rather the dainty, frilled little white petticoats, and under four years of age boys and girls are frequently dressed very much alike, rompers, except for overgrown children, being found extremely desirable summer garments for play and utility wear. Colored linens, galatea, chambray, etc., are fabrics employed in the development of summer garments for the youngsters, and this year the checked W Smocked Frock for Four-Year-Old. ginghams are favored for both young and old. Some of the smartest tub frocks noted for adult members of the family are made of Scotch plaid or other gingham checks, with sheer collars of write organde. Deep Purple Lingerie Latest The color of underclothes is a matter in which feminine taste has changed enormously within less than a generation's time. We can all of us remember—except those of us who are still in our teens—the time when a well-bred woman would rather smile at the idea of wearing anything but pure white lingerie. The only concession she made was in the way of pink or possibly blue ribbons. But now deep purple is not too vivid hue for one's underwear—and deep purple with green hand block designs is considered especially chic. A deep purple nightgown thus decorated in green is shown in one smart shop and to top the climax there is a purple velvet pansy placed at the top of the left shoulder. Lingerie Is Less Fussy A noticeable feature of both domestic and imported undergarments just now is the comparative absence of lace and ribbon. Embroidery, drawnwork, color and cut are relied upon for decoration, rather than the laces and frills commonly associated with the idea of lingerie. Georgette finished with picotting, appears to be a favorite for such ruffles as are required. BUY THINGS WE DO NOT NEED Many of Us Spend Money on Articles That Are Useless After We Get Them, Says Writer. Are you spending the money you work so hard for on things you want? Seems like a foolish question. But Is it? Students of the high cost of living tell us that if we stopped buying the things we didn't want wed have plenty of money for what we do need and really desire, and something to put into the savings bank besides. Most houses or apartments are more or less crowded with things that the people living in them do not want, and yet that have cost considerable money. Do you spend these precious dollars on fussy or useless home decorations, of which you are going to tire before very long? Women are apt to buy a great many articles of wear which they do not need, and often do not use, simply because they see them displayed attractively. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1917. ATTENTION! Here's an up-to-the-minute blouse and a khaki skirt designed by the swetlite method to give large women fashionable, slender lines. Summer makes the selection of comfortable and stylish clothes a problem for the large woman. If she follows the lines ugesed here half her dress troubles will be eliminated. JERSEY SUITS HERE TO STAY One-Piece Garments of That Material Have Displaced the Separate Skirt and Blouse. In connection with the statement that the women of America will be covered with jersey cloth most of the time, if fashion and desire continue to proceed in the direction they are heading, it is of interest that one-piece gowns of thin wool jersey have almost superseded the separate skirt of jersey with a wash blouse. When the ornate frocks of this material first appeared, most women thought they were not as good looking as those of silk or serge, but a little experience with them seems to have changed their opinion. They are admirable for all manner of sport use, because they cling to the figure and do not pull apart at the waistline, a defect which all sport lovers try to overcome. The peplum blouse with its twisting sash, for this reason, has taken the place of the white shirtwalt that has served two decades of athletic women. When we read in the cables from Paris that this garment has disappeared as a first fashion, we have our own opinion that it will be retained in this country for years to come on account of its entire comfort in sports, says a fashion authority. It was not originated for that purpose in Paris, and it is not easy to tell, whether she took the Oriental shirt or the American middy blouse as her inspiration. She improved on the latter by adding the sash to girdle the hips, and by that one trick she gave America a garment which she was slow to accept, but which she will be equally slow to relinguish. SOME CROCHET KINKS To keep the balls of crochet cotton in your working from unwinding and tangling, try using rubber bands over each ball and see how snug they will lie. Don't forget that your crochet hook makes an excellent substitute for a bodkin for running ribbons or tapes through a casing. The hook of the needle is caught firmly in the tape end the blunt end of the needle runs through the hem. Instead of ribbons, make yourself lingerie cords by crocheting a length of chain and by taking a treble in every other stitch of the chain. Finish with balls or crocheted motifs. Overettes in Khak! Overettes is the name applied to a sort of overall costume of khaki for women. It is especially designed for women engaged in agricultural work and other work making a bifurcated garment especially convenient. They are to be worn with separate blouses and have wide shoulder straps that keep the bloomer section in place. Maybe you've not done that, says a writer on home economics. But most of us could save appreciably on our dress bills by not yielding so readily to unreal wants in that line, and yet look smart and attractive. Too often we buy something to wear that is striking and highly colored, and looks right for the first few times it is worn, but that is tiring, even unbecoming, when worn often. It has to be thrown away and something else bought in its place. It is only those who have unlimited incomes who can afford to spend money on their unreal wants. Make sure that what you buy satisfies a real want. The want may be for beauty or necessity, or fun, or education, or rest—so long as it is real and you can afford to do so, there is no reason why you should not satisfy it. But leave the unreal wants alone. They may be real for someone else. If they aren't real for you, cut them out. Stunning evening dresses are being made of dotted net. Each dot is embroidered in a color. Chinese Influence on Clothes Especially Noted This Season. In Negligee Garments Tendency is Even More Pronounced Than in Outdoor Frocks. The vogue for things Oriental is strong this season. The Chinese influence on clothes is especially noted. Many modish garments for daytime wear carry a Chinese note, minor or otherwise, in the color blending, decoration, etc., but in negligee garments the tendency to favor these things is even more pronounced. The sketch illustrates a boudou suit combining a richly embroidered little mandarin coat and comfortable little ankle-length trousers cut after the Chinese fashion, quite straight and innocent of flare, frill or fullness. The coat proper may be Chinese blue satin embroidered in dragon, but or other design in metal threads, the coat banded in black satin matching the trousers. As shown, a three-inch-wide band of blue finish the trousers, but if desired they may be merely faced with blue and a band of motifs of metal thread embroidery furnishes the decorative feature. Trousered boudier garments are decidedly the fad of the moment. In addition to the Chinese and Japanese effects, gorgeous Turkish trouser boudier costumes are shown and other bifurcated garments for negligence wear show old-fashioned frilled pantalets of ankle length, accompanied by silk or lace coats. Women no longer swathe themselves in the gorgeously trained boudier robes that held sway for many years when they wish to relax and make themselves "confy" for an afternoon nap. They prefer, rather, the simpler things, dainty and of rich material, but, nevertheless, real longz Real Chinese Boudolir Garment. Ing garments, and certainly this season the seal of approval has been set upon garments of the trouser type. The Chinese coat shown is as simple as possible to cut and make, and very effective imitation Chinese embroidery may be attained by the generous use of gold threat plus a generous stock of patience. Jersey Used in Long Coat Long coats of wool jersey in full length or in seven-eighths length in two colors are much worn. This is by all odds the most favored fabric of the season. The full length coats generally have the upper portion in a light shade and the portion from below the hips to the hem in a darker tone or in a contrasting color. These coats are usually quite simple—on the style of the chemise dress. They have a belt of the fabric at the normal waistline. Feathers on Shoes. A novelty is feather trimming on footwear. This is in the form of rosettes and similar decorations at the toes. Evening slippers in white and other light shades in satin or kid show matching feathers of black and white combinations. There are pumps in various colors to go with afternoon frocks, and they are trimmed with feather rosettes in matching colors. FASHION'S FANCIES Rust red is a favored color. Yellow is the smartest of colors this season. Many of the smart gingham frocks pushing their way into prominence are made with short sleeves. Wrist puffs add a crisp daintiness to summer frocks of printed volles. As a rule, the puffs are of white organdie and are tied with black velvet ribbon. Picticing forms the finish for the bottom of many nightgowns. The touch is also added to the sleeves and neck. Very beautiful are the new pearl buttons, in which rainbow tints are noticeable. These are an effective trimming on new wash skirts. Fringe edging the bottom of white washable skirts is attracting a great deal of attention. White floss embroidery is also being used on these skirts. Very quantit is a pin-striped lavender volle blouse. Pin tucks down the front and down the sleeves make the color more pronounced. White organdie collars and cuffs have violets embroidered on them. Copyright Underwood & Underwood Women who think they are too large to wear separate blouses and skirts, please take notice! This becoming costume shows what has been done to give the large figure the slender effects achieved by the sveltline system of designing. GIRLS LIKE OLD-TIME CAPES Slim Debutantes Enthusiastic Over Ample Wraps That Were Only for Elderly a Season Ago. It is amusing to note the number of old-lydied capes that come out of the theaters on matte days. That is, the capes would have been deemed old-lydied a season ago; now they are tremendously the thing and are the last word in smartness, says a fashion writer. And it is the slim little debutantes who are wild over these ample wraps. A very stunning model is of dark blue serge, with slashes from shoulder to hip outlined by closely set bone buttons. At the front, the cape is held in to the figure by a knotted sash that passes through the slashes and under the loose back portion. From the back view the cape is a cape only—long, with ripple fullness from shoulder to skirt hem, and the skirt hem is long, too—quite to the ankle in many cases, though one never fails to see a pretty and patrician little buttoned boot or pumm under the skirt's edge. Boots are just as important as ever, though skirts certainly do cover them a deal more than last season. The younger women have almost all discarded black boots for the street. One sees white buttoned boots and gray and bisque buttoned boots under tailored suits or frocks of light or dark material. UNDERBODIES VARY IN TYPE That for Use With Finer Blouse Not Best to wear. That is Washable. That is Washable. The underbodice worn with a blouse of georgette crepe or chiffon is not at all the same type that is worn under a linen or cotton affair. Under the finer blouses the glorified corset cover is made of pussy-wallow, or some other soft silk, of net or of silk volle. Under the blouse that is washable a cotton underbodice, but one that is always dafty, is more correct. A novel idea to wear under rather elaborate blouses is to use a wide piece of ribbon, large enough to go around the body like a girdle. This is held on over the shoulders by the regulation ribbon straps. The wide ribbon is fitted into the waist by taking up little seams all around, and these seams are hemstitched by machine. This little underbodice buttons in the back. Another bodice is made like the old-fashioned corset covers our grand-mothers wore, with round necks, wide armholes and infinitesimal extension sleeves. It is gathered into the waist by two strings run through invisible folds and closes in the back. The corset covers are pretty in batiste for wear under washable blouses. In some models the back is cut in surplice crossed and brought back to the front in a belt that ties with ribbons in front. The simple embroidery scattered over the surface will not interfere with any on the blouse which may be worn over it. Indian Effects Noted. Apropos of Indian things certain manufacturers are exploiting American Indian designs in embroideries, simple primitive designs in bright colors, sometimes very effective. They are shown in wide and narrow band trimmings, borders and motifs. Remarkably good bead embroidery bandings and motifs are offered, also better in color and design than any that has been offered before. The best of these are of course expensive, but they may be applied in such fashion that they look as though embroidered upon the material, and a little of this sort of thing-goes a long way. Hats of Crepe and Straw. Georgette crepe combined with straw forms many of the pretty new summer hats. For instance, the crown and part of the brim top may be of the georgette crepe; the underbrim and a small portion of the brim may be of leghorn. Such hats will be much in evidence during the coming season, and will mostly be made up in light and gay colorings, though the soft light pinks perhaps will predominate. Trouser Skirts Gaining Ground New York.—It is an oft repeated assertion that the French never give up the idea of trousers for women, and the world that is opposed to such an idea always comes back with the statement that France, who adores the feminine in woman more than any other nation in the world, insists upon her wearing a costume that is entirely mannish. It was France who opposed the Anglo-Saxon coat and skirt of worsted material on the ground that it took away from women that alluring femininity which is their chief charm. It was the Paris designers who said that they never cared to perfect themselves in the making of costumery that was not befitting to the soft curves and coquetry of a woman's figure and face. And yet, it is Paris who, for at least six years, has insistently struck the note of trousers for women throughout the seasons. She points to the trousers of the Orient, however, as the ones to be imitated. The bifurcated garments that she designs are full of feminine touches. They are not the square, rigorous "pants" of the male attire of this generation. And yet, one of the most coquettish things the little girls of Montmartre do in Paris is to swagger about the restaurants in boyish attire—the large trousers of the quarter, the short jacket, the soft shirt with its rolling collar and the flowing student's tie. It was these little French girls who first bobbed the hair off a la Buster Brown and wore the slouch hat pulled THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY This summer suit of velour is light green striped with a double black line, the coat and skirt fastened with black bone buttons. There are a directoire collar and revers with Japanese sleeves. down over the forehead. When this colfurce—or lack of colfurce—was introduced here by Mrs. Vernon Castle and taken up by a thousand and one other women in and out of society, it was thought to be something quite outrageous. France had accepted it for ten years without a quiver. Her people asserted that the bobbed hair of a boy was excessively coquettish against the allurement of a young girl's face. However, in this country, especially in New York, there are now women of fifty with gray hair who have it bobbed to the ears and freshly curled every day; so the antagonism has evidently died down. Coquettish Ways With Trouers. America does not seem to be averse to trouers; now that the first shock is over, she looks upon them with calm acceptance, provided they are cut according to the coquettish manner which France insists upon. They are usually part of a skirt, they do not indicate the shape of the leg above the knee and they are managed in some fashion that gives attractiveness to the entire garment. The young French garment who was with Paul Poiret invented the wrist with skirt that shaped itself at the hem into tight-fitting galters with a wrap under the shoe. This was the very first indication of the now famous zonave skirt. There are already several patterns of walking skirts, and also those used for sports in the open country, which are made of shadow plaid or vague-striped worsteds that resolve them. RICH BROADCASES ARE POPULAR Chinese, Egyptian and Japanese Em broader base of Silk and Satin Materials Oriental—Chinese, Egyptian and Japanese—embroideries have been used by the French style creators this season as design motifs on the lovely evening silk and satin materials. These materials, with their interwoven brocaded patterns, are often reembroidered with striking large motifs of gold or silver. Such combinations seem to be about as elaborate and elegant as materials possibly can be. They are reminders of the luxurious brocades one sees in the antique gowns that have been preserved in museums. When these elaborate silk, satin and velvet fabrics came in style the first of the season the evening gowns looked much too heavy. This mistake was soon corrected. A quantity of tulle or lace was used with such dresses—long-arm scarfs, underskirts of lace clounchings, tulle-shoulder scarfs and often an over drapery to take away the heavy look. While such selves into a kind of puttee from knee to ankle. On the stage, and in the restaurants where women dance, there are more extravagant trousered effects in skirts, such as full garments of crepe de chine or satin which drop from a high waistline and end in tight-fitting leggings of let, crystal beading or gold and silver lace. These leggings inclose only the calf of the leg, the knees being covered by full zonauve drapery of the skirt, and the ankles by silk stockings, with high-heeled, brocaded slippers as a finish. Everyone knows that the neo evening slippers designed after the French pattern, are often carried to the calf of the leg by means of wide straps of jeweled leather or gold or silver lace. These strings are folded and interlaced about the ankles and finished at the top without a bow. Some of the smart women who wear the zouave skirt with the short, jeweled leggings that stop four inches above the ankles, add a jeweled bracelet or a ribbon of black velvet at each ankle, in the Oriental manner. The fashionable demand for gold and silver lace done in the pattern known as lame, which means that the bullion threads are flattened out by a heavy roller to give the effect of being ironed into the cloth, gives rise to short, tight leggings made of either lace. The metal tissues are not revived for summer, and only chiffons, crepes de chine and thin satins are used for evening gowns; therefore one does not get the impressive Oriental effect from the jeweled leggings that one would receive if the gown itself were full of bullion threads, as it was last winter. None of these trousered skirts is narrow. Every one that France has sent over and that America has adopted has its trousered effect arranged in the Slavic or Oriental manner. The insistence upon the silhouette of the zouave uniform is conspicuous everywhere. This uniform is used by the Algerian troops fighting for France, and it is most picturesque, with the full trousers like skirts, the colored sash, the short, tight jacket and the wrapped leggings from knee to ankle. This idea of inclosing the leg with wrappings of any kind goes back to the earliest history of the race. It may be prehistoric, but we know that the earliest garments of men were wrapped about the legs with strings or vines, to keep the material compact against the flesh. Therefore, when we revive this ancient and honorable custom we are going back to the cradle of civilization, and it is only natural that the Oriental races, where civilization began, should have retained this idea in the dress for both man and woman. France sends us many afternoon gowns as well as walking skirts which hang full from a high waistline in either plaits or fine gathers and are tucked in around the legs in some fashion, to suggest trousers. The bifurcation is often in front, not in back, and some of the great dressmakers in France drop plaited panels of ornate needlework in the Slavic fashion down the front of the garment from bust to hem of skirt, in order to hide the bifurcation; but it is there just the same. This silhouette, which, keep in mind, is patterned after the Oriental idea of trousers, and not the Anglo-Saxon one, gives rise to an arti- tic variety of skirts that for the present seem to attract several classes of women. Possibly, in peace times or in an era of ceremonial social dignity, this idea would not advance so rapidly among the women of two continents, but with millions of women called to take the places of men, with ceremonial society simply gone by the board and with efficiency, utility and the greater degree of comfort being the things that women worship today, the trussered skirt is gaining headway every week. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Sewing Room Improvement Sewing Room Improvement. The sewing room improvement which has been the most help to me is a small basket which hangs against the end of the sewing machine, its top about on a level with the table top of the machine, says a writer in the Woman's Home Companion. It is just as easy to brush ends of thread and clippings from the goods, with one motion of the hand into this basket, as to brush them to the floor—resulting in a much cleaner floor. The basket hangs over two small books which were screwed into the end of the machine and is easily removed to be emptied. Do you want a crocheted edge in a hurry? Then use a piece of seam beading about half an inch wide, and to it crochet a pictated edge just along one edge. The straight edge makes it easy to sew on a garment in a few minutes. tulle or net is sometimes of white or ivory tones, quite as often the gown's color is matched. This is a fashion feature of the season. Afternoon dresses of rich material do not, of course, need so much tulle or lace. They are made in very simple fashion, always cutting the material as little as possible. Gay Stockings for Sport At the spring races gayly figured and striped black, tan or navy silk stockings are worn with pumps adorned by large cut steel buckles. And as for headgear the navy hat, as in the case of the dresses, was absolutely without a rival. Daisy crowns were quite a feature, both in the white daisy and the black-eyed Susan and quite noticeable was the number of flower-trimmed hats that were worn. Dyed Fillet Lace Trims Frocks. Paris dressmakers are sending over models trimmed with dyed fillet lace. The underskirt of a Japanese kimoon gown is entirely of lace, dyed to match the cherry blossom pattern emboldered on the fabric.
