The two aidfavids that formed the basis of Atty Alex H. Martin's request, (which was refused) for a rehearing, of the State Supreme court at Columbus, last week, were voluntarily made by Mrs. Margaret L Oehme (Oehme's second wife) and her mother, Mrs. Anne Cartcart. It was these aidfavids that Martin submitted to County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller, the chief prosecutor, to question that the latter join him in an effort to get former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming a new trial, something Miller refused to do. The substance of Mrs. Oehme's aidfavid is that her husband on his death bed, March 7, told her that the $200 he gave Fleming "was not a bribe but a check for legal services." She also says that he wanted to clear Fleming of the charge or guilt before he was tried. The chief prosecutor aidfavid says that, from her conversation with Walter Oehme before he died, she learned that the check was for legal services in connection with Oehme's alimony action, and that it had nothing to do with services rendered by Fleming to procure legislation to get pension funds from the city. After the trial, the chief prosecutor aidfavid when he gave Fleming the money and he was sorry that he had wronged an innocent man," Mrs. Cartcath said. Mrs. Oehme's aidfavid is said to be a complete reversal of the testimony she gave during the Fleming trial which resulted in a sentence of two years and nine months in the Ohio penitentiary "for receiving a bribe. The Stat Supreme court of the State of Ohio ordered the court to enquire when he gave Fleming the money and he was sorry that he had wronged an innocent man," Mrs. Cartcath said. that her daughter wanted her to go with her to County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller immediately after Walter Oehme's death, but that Mr. Cartcath, her husband, and Mrs. Oehme's father, wanted them "to keep out of it." This, Mr. Cartcath confirms, and asks, "Why don't the family to have anything more to do with it. I didn't know Fleming and it. I didn't care much. But it bothered my daughter because she really knew Fleming well. I am sorry now that I didn't let her go when she first wanted to." Mrs. Cartcath says: "After the Ohio penitentiary for "Margaret was nearly insane. The night that we read in the papers that Mr. Fleming had only the penitentiary, she slipped out of the house, without telling us, and called up the Flemings." Also, that Oehme had told her not once, but many times, that the money given Fleming was not a bribe but a payment for legal services; that he was indebted to Mr. Fleming in many ways and that he wished he had "done that he had done." After the daughter had been unwilling to testify in the trial and that she had often told her husband that he should not have accused Fleming." Mrs. Cartcath also said: "You can understand that we didn't want to say anything about this before because of Walter, but we have to talk out now to protect ourselves. We will go down to testify. if the time comes, the publicity, and we are sorry that it all had to happen." She also insisted that Oehme could talk and had talked on the last day he lived and said that he had told her the new story of the $200 not once but many times. Prosecutor Miller and Walter Oehme's mother, Mrs. Cecilia Oehme, brand the contents of the Oehme and Cathheart affidavits as false, the latter saying that she was at her son's bedside, the she was at his bedside, and that he made no reference whatever to the Fleming case. This is corroborated by two nurses. Violet Lodge of this city and Lucille Emory of Oberlin, who attended Oehme during his last illness. Martin, who presented the two affidavits, told the court this week Thursday, in an unsuccessful effort to have the Fleming case re-opened, has not decided whether to carry an appeal to the U. S. Supreme court or file a supplementary motion in the local Common Pleas courts in the hope of being granted a re-hearing. He says: "I believe that Mrs. Oehme is telling the truth," Martin said. "If Mr. Miller doubts her veracity now, why was he so willing to accept her testimony in January, 1929. There were constant indications during the trial at that time that the story she tells now is the true story. Oehme himself said that he was giving Fleming a bribe until he was told so by Miller. She is telling her new story now because her husband charged her to right the wrong done Fleming. I notice that Oehme's mother discloses that her daughter-in-law told her that Oehme had a new story before he died. That looks like another case of the truth cropping out." Should the Cuyahoga county common pleas court entertain the supplemental motion and grant a rehearing. Fleming would again be tried. Should the supplemental motion be denied, the appeal would be made through the various state courts to the supreme court. SENATOR FESS LIED, SAYS SECRETARY WHITE Walter F. White, secretary in charge of the N. A. A. C. P., headquarters in N. Y. City, in the absence of Secretary James Weldon Johnson who is vacationing in Europe, spoke, last week Wednesday night, at St. John's A. M. E. church, to a fair-sized audience, approximately two hundred. Mr. White scored U. S. Senator Simeon D. Fess of this state for his activity in lieutenant of confirmation of judge John Parker, member of U. S. Supreme court. Parker was the anti-Negro suffrage, "illly-white" Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina, two years ago. White urged his hearers to wire U. S. Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch of this state, who he said was "wavering," urging him to oppose confirmation. "There are people in Washington who think that the 'Negro' will protest, then forget and GO BACK TO SLEEP," said Mr. White. "and Senator Fess one of them. Hate him, one of them, "culminantly" and concluded by saying: "There are four forces working against the interests of the Negro in this case. They are Cole Blease of South Carolina, Mabel Walker Willebrand, the Ku Klux Klan and the stubbornness of President Hoover." OUR WOMEN ENDORSE "HOOVER" COLOR-LINE Washington, D. C.—Our women have been excluded, for the first time, from the Women's Political School held here, for the fourth time, by the District of Columbia League of Republican Women at the Willard Hotel. They will "hold a separate class at a later date", applicants were told by Virginia White, national committeewoman for the District of Columbia, who said (as usual) that our women themselves were satisfied with the arrangement and had even requested it. Miss Nannie Burroughs, member of the State Central Committee and president of our "jim-crow" National League of Republican Women she shearer a representative for or acquiescence in such an arrangement by any of our women. "I am bitterly, violently and unalterably opposed to this treatment of our women", Miss Burroughs said. Indeed? How consistent! RAIN MUSIC.

Baltimore, Md.—Addressing 2,000 persons in Shiloh Baptist church here, last week Tuesday night, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago smoke in part as follows: was broad enough to interpret the law. But I do not agree with Sena-ton Gillatore. My attitude can be best expressed by saying that I am like the Baptist, 'Once in Christ, never out.' I think Parker is wrong and "I have heard the gentleman representing the mayor speak about the great things Negroes are accomplishing in Baltimore. I hope they are substantial things and not flowery, shadowy. You will not get substantial things until you learn to organize and follow your leadership. You must learn to select your own leaders, and follow your leaders for you that they can control. They are doing just like I would do, if I had to select your 'leaders'. Just as they are doing, I would choose whom I could control. We must learn to depend on each other. I have always said if God would forgive me for being born in Alabama, I would never return there. Our people were taught that everything that Negroes believe it yet. They are, of course, mistaken in that belief. You were also taught that everything that is white is virtuous. That is also a mistake. There is some good in every race and some bad. The black race is no exception. The Negroes all over America must get together and quit adopting the attitude that if I can't do a certain thing another Negro must not do. If our people of Chicago had not placed me there. They did not send me because I was better than someone else. They sent me because only a person who has been 'jim-crowed', segregated and persecuted can represent them. Only a person who can understand our handicaps can lead us. A man may have good intentions, but if he has not walked into a place of business and been denied service because of his color, he will not be well represented. Because a man likes John, or some other individual, does not make the latter leaders or will not help solve the problems in which the race is interested. The Parker Case. "I can appreciate how President Herbert Hoover might make a mistake and select a wrong man. But I cannot appreciate the fact that despite the great protest against the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker as a Supreme court associate justice the President refused to withdraw the name and correct the mistake. I was sorry to hear in the Senate, Monday, that some Negroes in North Carolina had sent letters to Senators requesting the confirmation of Parker. Those letters were received by the Judicial ord. I received a letter, about two months ago, from one of the gentlemen representing our National Tallors Convention which is to be held in Richmond on August 6. I canceled the invitation, Tuesday morning. I want nothing to do with white-folk's Negroes. I told the writer, if their letters in behalf of Parker represent the real sentiment of our tailors, in behalf of Parker, to call my engagement canceled. I do not propose to associate or affiliate with any Negro that for some reason had not been summoned to triplets" of too Cleveland, "O-Uncle Toms' now. So far as I am concerned, 'Uncle Tom' is dead and buried and I pray that he shall not be resurrected. In writing to the gentleman in question, I told him that he either believed in white supremacy or had been bluffed and bulldozed. Your Senator is supporting Parker's nomination. I think his name is Goldborough. The only thing left for you to do is to vote him against against his voting for that confirmation. And if he does, then you should have a good memory. I wonder how the rase would have fared if there had been a few more fellows like Parker sitting on the Supreme Bench. You would not be able to vote in Baltimore. I would not be able to vote in Illinois, and would not be in Congress. Parker is not only against, but he is against you and all the black people. I heard Senator Gillette of Massachusetts on the floorowy Parker sitting on the Supreme labor. The Senator said he did not agree with him, however, on his stand on the Negro question.

Im commenting on the recent Phillis Wheatley Association “style show” at Public Auditorium, our lo- eal contemporary, the Cleveland Call and Post, says: “Looking at the situation trom a business standpoint, the show could have had @ larger attendance had our leading. local paper cérried an advertisement of it.” ‘Phat is very true, and only our ua- tive modesty and disinclination to be “a radles!” and to “criticise”, preveuied The Geactte’s saying this came thing, last week. However, we are very pleased indeed to have our contemporary do it for us and show so friendly a spirit. We certainly appreciate its thoughtfulness and Kindness. The fact is Miss Jane Hunter, executive secretary of the Phillis Wheatley Association, should have advertised its “style show" in both of our local publications, and not only The Gazette, our oldest and for many years our “leading local paper", while she was spending “over {wo hundred dollars with the white (local) press to advertise the style show”. It ts difficult for us to believe that Miay Hunter is whol- ly to blame for this, but are in- clined to think that the advertising for the style show was in the hands of her white associates in control of the P. W. A. and its principal ac- tivities, especially so large an. un- dertaking as a style show in Cleve- land's great Public auditorium. And even this does not Justity the fall ure to advertise in The Gazette, “our Teading local paper", and its local contemporary, too. The Call and Post's charge that the P. W.

The busiest of all the present day boxing champions, Jackie Fields, a Jow, the boss of the welters, met Young Jack Thompson, “Afro” flash from the west coast, at Detroit, this week Friday night. It is remem- dered that a riot followed their Chi- cago bout, some months ago, which was their last meeting, when ‘the de- cision went to Fields, and there ts a feeling among boxing authorities that Thompson has returned to the form that made him stand out as one of the dest of the present-day ringmen until about six months ago. ‘Thompson has been on the losing end of several decisions, in that time, that people close to ‘him claim was the result of an illness, that would have kept most men out of the ring, rather than any loss of his former ‘ability. Thompson proved tie eaten with Jimmy Melaraie. mn New York fight critics shouted themselves hoarse at the decision, which went to McLarnin, that he still Is a lad to be feared.

This amendment is not be- ing lived up to. Congress has not passed an enforcing act. Congress Passed tho 18th Amendment and the Volstead act as an enforcing meas- ure.

White Plains; N. ¥.—In the face of almost solid community opposi- tion to two of our doctors who have bought and gettled in homes in an exclusive section here, Rabbi V. Goodman of the Jewish Community Center publicly condemned the at- titude of prejudiced citizens and lo- cal newspapers. The fssue Is one not only of racial and economic im- port, according to the rabbi, but has also “put the religions of ‘all resi- dents of the city on trial.” He con- demned recent burning of a cross on the lawn of one of the doctors. The rabbi urged the Jews of White Plains to decline to sign a mutual agreement being circulated and signed among property owners in the exclusive Highlands and Carhart sections, placing restrictions in deeds of all properties forever prohibiting the sale of land to our people. Such covenants (agreements) have beon declared unconstitutional by the U S. Supreme court in its “Warley” decision of 1917. iS THE PARKER INCIDENT. Not for a long time has there been anything in Washington more en- couraging than the piling up of pub- Ue, and hence of Senatorial senti- ment, against the confirmation of John’ J.

Bernstein backed any particular candidate for the place is not true. Nickens, who lives in Greenlaw Ave., has been a sewer inspector for a city engineering department, and a West Park leader of the Republican organization, for six or seven years. The local board of civil service members held an examination, yesterday, May 2, for positions of garbage-plant-holders in the service of the city. This is the "limit." The Gazette never has favored placing under civil service positions that can be held by any average person. Only positions requiring technical knowledge or lengthy experience in the work should be placed under civil service. To do otherwise is closing the door of employment to thousands of poor people who must work for a living and who never had an opportunity to prepare themselves for any position except hard work. Of course the writer is not criticizing the city civil service commission, which is likely by the request to do what it has hoped for the City Charter which ought to be changed in this respect as well as others. City Tractioner Ballou has again submitted his request, to the city council's committee on street railways, for the elimination of the Central Ave. car-line, basing his request on its "lack of traffic." He does not say, however, that this "lack of traffic" is the direct result of the miserable service he has given the car-riders of that section of the city, particularly in the last year. Nor does he call attention to the fact that the Central Ave. line was the second best paying line in the city, two years ago, according to the Railway Co.'s public announcement, at the time. And would be one of the best paying lines in the city today, if the proper service were given its patrons, many of whom were forced, months ago, to patronize the parallel lines, Cedar and Scovill, because of the miser- ably poor service of the, Central Ave. line. "We do not seek social equality through the abolition of discrimination in this restaurant, but simply seek justice and our legal rights that are provided for by the statutes," said the Hon. Perry B. Jackson in his plea in a civil rights case, on trial recently in a local court room. When he used the word "we" he can have been speaking for himself, speaking for the intelligent of the race. Indeed, we are inclined to feel that Mr. Jackson was merely catering to the prejudiced of the whites in the court room, which may have included the judge and the jury, because his statement is not only untrue, but calculated to prove harmful. In the first place, there is no such thing as "social equality." What is meant when that term is used is that it refers to the institutionalization of our people because they know that we need it just as much as other groups or classes in order to make the progress that will enable us to keep pace with them. Mr. Jackson's statement is a very pernicious one (a two-edged sword cutting both ways) which ought not to be used by him and other intelligent members of our society, but how very harmful it is when made in the hearing of members of other groups or classes than our own. We feel sure that in Mr. Jackson's case, it was but "a slip of the tongue" which will not be repeated. TOM MIX AND TONY Coming With the Great Sells Floto Circus, Next Friday and Saturday—Over 100 Feature Acts. Sells Floto Circus, considered by many the greatest show in America, is coming to Cleveland for two days, and will present the world's greatest western cowboy, Tom Mix, and his equally famous horse, Tony. Both these famous movie stars will appear at every performance and will be supported by the greatest collection of circus acts ever assembled under a "big-top." Over one hundred feature acts, Tom Mix and Tony will bring all the famous cowboys and world stars to them on the screen, featuring the most thrilling of stunts, with the great Mix heading the list. In the three rings and two stages will be found circus stars, headed by the Corvantes, Spanish acrobats; John and Gertrude Shubert, aerial gymnasts; Mabel Pelkey, the girl of the silver whirl; the Schwarz Sisters, European equistrans; Koban, the Jap who walks up stairs on his head; Terrel's thirty-six liberty horses; the Three Thrillers, a flying act with no competition in their daring and sensational stunts; the brilliant Ward family of aerial stars; five herds of elephants, and a big fifty den menagerie of rare beasts the children of a hundred people are with Sells Flota, this season. The new tent will seat over ten thousand people and two shows will be given daily at 2 and 8 p.m. The doors will be open one hour earlier to allow patrons to enjoy the wonders of the Meningoite. Yon, who have enjoyed Tom Mix and Tony on the screen, can now see this fine American cowboy in real life and watch him and his group of cowboys in the flesh. Tom is said to receive the largest salary ever paid a circus star and the tremendous crowds who see him daily, bear proof of his remarkable popularity among old and young alike. Not So Dumb.

How does the United States compare with other countries" in the number of airplane factories? Ans. The United States has 180 airplane factories, compared with 71 in other countries. Q. How do automobile and airplane operating costs compare? Ans. The "average" automobile costs 6.43 cents to operate, compared with 9.39 cents a mile for the "average" airplane cost. Here's my story, everybody, and I'll stick to it. So's you'll make no mistake as to who's tellin' this yarn, I'm Bill, the bus driver. Mebbe my stories is goin' to be kinda rough on a lotta guys—and the janes is included. I'm goin' to call a spade a spade, a fool a fool and a van a van a van. Lots of stuff has been printed about this auto accident business. Judgin' from casualty lists which keep a grownin' and a grownin' year by year nobody pays much attention to what bein' bald. Mebbe that's because it's all been kindly advice in polite words that was too highbight. The hospitals and morgues keep doin' a land office business. More than thirty thousand human bein's gets bumped off and half a million gets busted up, lacerated or bruised from New Year's to New Year's at present writin'. So I think the advice you have been gettin' is too much like the sugar-coated pill only in this case it don't make the sick folks any better. They keep gin' worse—that is, more careless, accordin' to figures, facts and what takes place. I knew a family where father-a hosepecked little bozo-pulled a boner at dinner when compny was present. Friend wife give him a good kick under the table which put him where he belonged-woke him up to the fact that he was in wrong and all wet like a fish. The effect of the kick was like magic. He shut up and tried to square himself. So now all you careless drivers and walkers, meanin' everybody, you are all gain' to get a good swift kick in the shins in each article in this column. You'll have the monikers "Drivin' Foof' and "Walkin' Yaps" tacked onto you and if it makes you sore it'll be great! It will at least get a rise out of you and make you think. Canada Permits Trucks Temporary Entry Free The Canadian customs regulations provide that automobiles, motor trucks and other highway vehicles carrying goods for delivery to a point in Canada may be admitted with payment of duty, provided a bond is furnished equal to the amount of duty to which the automobile would be subject, according to the Automobile Club of Illinois. Vehicles so admitted may proceed direct to the destination in Canada, deliver the goods, and return to the United States, either empty or with a return load which was picked up at destination. They are not allowed, however, to carry goods to one point in Canada and then proceed to another point to pick up a return load in that country. Cleaning Frequently to Save Battery Is Urged The battery, placed out of sight in the ear, collects a lot of mud and dirt, which, if not cleaned off, will do a needless amount of harm. The spray which the battery gives out in charge condenses on the top of the battery, causing a mud to form. This provides a path for the current to flow and the battery loses a certain percentage of its charging current when the generator is working, and will also discharge when idle. When the top of the battery is cleaned, all surplus acid or water which has been spilled on the top of the battery may be removed, thus preventing discharge or leakage of current from this cause, or leakage of the current from this cause.

If you have trouble starting the car, hold the clutch pedal down as you step on the starting button. This will give the engine less work to do as it turns over. Back home in the early days of motoring you could drive around in the winter ruts for miles at a time without putting a hand to the steering wheel. We don't know that there is as much demand for an automobile that can be controlled by the human voice as there is for a horn that will respond to "Sh! If the spark plugs are dirty or burned, the motorist provoked with the slow starting of his car has a handy remedy in cleaning or replacing the plugs. An oil soaked fan belt can be cleaned with kerosene and then treated with castor oil. In an emergency, some fullers earth can be sprinkled on the leather or fabric. BILL, THE BUS DRIVER SAYS "The middle of the block is no-man's-land, where many a healthy human gets mowed down for keeps." (By MARCUS A. DOW.)

Ohio, Wisconsin, York, in the Brakes Are to M The scene is Fifth avenue in little old New York. "Supereb, Majestic, Inspiring," some poet called this expensive lane which runs for a few miles up and down Manhattan. As an inspiration it's a flat tire to me, but as a hustlin' transportin' highway it's a wow. Traffic in this lane durin' busy hours runs in three lines each way. I was standin' on the west side of the well known avenue watchin' autos roll by about four o'clock in the afternoon. A simple-minded lookin' egg wenrin' a silly grin all over his face decides he wants to come across the street right there in the middle of the block. He looks, sees a car comin' toward him next to the curb. He starts across in front of it, gets clear, but runs in front a fliver and to escape the disgrace of bein' bumped off by a road house, makes a half acrobatic hop-skip-and-jump due west, clearin' the lizzle, also a tourin' car comin' in the third line. He had generated so much steam he had a h—1 of a time diggin' his heels into the asphalt deep enough and quick enough to keep from skiddin' into a gas buggy goin' the opposite way. A couple more lucky, agile and funny movements puts him on the curb near where I was standin'. So I just watched him—and the crazy yap walked over to a store in front of where he had made his successful trans-boulevard flight and stood there five minutes lobkin' over a display of ladies' stockin' on wooden legs in the window. That yap only thought he was in a hurry. He just couldn't wait ten seconds until he got to the next crossin' to cross. Hurry causes a lot of accidents and the funny part is folks ain't in the hurry they thinks they are. Small Villages Tire of The danger of picking out the main street of a town and arbitrarily making it a through street, as pointed out in recent studies made by the National Safety council, has recently been emphasized in several Illinois towns. Petitions have been received by the state highway commission, at Springfield, from representatives of small towns and villages, asking that state roads, around which many of them have been built, be re-rooted so that the constant stream of traffic may be diverted from their centers. According to the representatives, it was once thought advantageous to bring as much traffic into the main street as possible, for transient trade meant increased business. The flow of cars, however, has become so great and the speed at which they travel so rapid that few stop at all. The increased volume has reached a stage where it endangers the lives of the inhabitants. Even large cities are now finding that the most successful system shunts nonstop traffic around the city, causing congestion in the downtown centers. Important Suggestion on Prevention of Wear Spatterings of oil found on the garage floor or on the pavement where the car has been parked usually indicate loose oil line connections or loose crankcase bolts. After adjustments are made, the oil filter should be serviced if it has been used 10,000 miles. Attention to these important items means oil economy and prevention of wear on the automobile engine.

How many passenger automobiles are on farms in United States? Ans. Approximately 4,750,000. Q. What states lead in the number of passenger cars on farms? Ans. Texas, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Missouri and New York, in the order named. Brakes Are Subjected to Most Terrific Heat Due to the excessive heats developed in bringing an automobile to a stop, brake linings have to be of such composition that they will not break down or burn up under these high temperatures. When a vehicle weighing 5,000 pounds is brought to a stop from a speed of fifty miles per hour in approximately four seconds, as it is quite possible to do with the present four-wheel brakes, there is about 450,000 foot pounds of kinetic energy to be converted into heat that has to be absorbed, or dissipated, through the brake lining and brake drums. The average brake drum wearing surface on cars of such weight is only about three hundred square inches. If many quick stops like this are made in a short time, it can readily be seen that this surface cannot possibly dissipate such an enormous amount of heat and as a result the brake drums would soon be red-hot. Many times, when driving in heavy traffic or in hilly country, the brake drums are often at a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit for considerable periods of time. Screen Helmet Shields Speeding Auto Driver Protects Speeding Motorist. Earl Howe, the famous auto racer, with the novel wind-and-dust-screen helmet, just before setting out on a trial spin at Brooklands, England, where the auto racing season is now in full swing. AUTOMOBILE FACTS Gov. Frank G. Allen of Massachusetts is in favor of the back-seat driver. He urges passengers in automobiles to insist that the operator in control drive carefully. A new type of motor car may be stopped with the sound of the human voice. There are faces, of course, that would stop a clock, but the principle here is different. A good pressure gauge is calibrated for all sizes of balloon tires. That means that if you have several cars using different sizes of tires the same gauge will do for all of them. A man was arrested in New York for whistling on the street at midnight. He should have run through town with his muffler open if he wanted to make a noise and get away with it. INTRIGUING STRAWS ENTER INTO THE MAKE-UP OF THE NEW HATS K OF COURSE every one of us is pleased at the revival of the vogue for wide, flattering rims, but oh, you little hat!

Such intriguing straws, such novel fabrics as enter into their make-up! And their tones and tints—every color in the rainbow and then some! When it comes to their styling, gentius must have laid awake nights trying to think up novel ways of draping, tucking, folding and other of the multitudinous maneuverings involved in the creating of the cunning hats which are making such a fascinating showing this season. The straws employed are of infinite variety.

For master three to eight, mother learns she can buy the cleverest jersey suits, some with berets to match. These are wonderfully practical, for the entire outfit will wash, and the colors are ever so attractive. Of course, as the weather shows a rising temperature, fancy will turn to cool linens and cottonies and rayon fabrics and make 'em or buy 'em the styles were never so cunning. Little two-piece outfits consisting of blouse and trousers which "button on" use such fetching combinations as gay printed shirttings for the waist with solid colored cotton broadcloth for the straw cap-toques that faunts a big bow at the back—just such as Paris adores. This one is gray in color. Quantities of black straw lace, also navy, beige and other colors likewise go to make up the new hats. Horsehair braid made its advent unusually early this spring. The off-the-face brim of the hat to the left is of fancy black lacy horsehair; the crown is black satin. The modish tricorne to the right is fashioned of a tweedlike silky straw. Tres chic! Centered in the group is a subtly draped toque of tricot-knit straw. Last in this collection is a charming hat of lemon-yellow, silk straw.

Ready and off for play is junior in his little suit of chambray, or perhaps printed cotton. The chief virtue of these weaves, aside from their attractiveness, being that they tub perfectly. Whether Jack goes a-sailing or not he may look the part, at least, in a cunning suit like the young lad to the left in the picture is wearing. A replica in miniature, this, of the grownup sailor suit, and there is not a littler boy in the land but whose heart would beat faster, and eyes shine brighter at the prospect of owning such a masterpiece in navy flannel. Oh! it is a gay life junior will be living in the clothes for every occasion, which fashion is promoting this season.
