WILBERFORCE. — The High School scholarship team won third place in its group, in the District-State Scholarship contests held on O. S. U. campus, May 5. The team was composed of twelve pupils, nine of whom received mention in the Columbus Sunday newspapers: Bruce Green, Jr., third in general science; Jeff Laird, second in math; Marion Jenkins, fifth in plane geometry; Ellen L. Chavous, fourth in English ten; Jas. H. Robinson, Jr., fourth in chemistry; Marietta E. Turner, fifth in American history; Virginia W. Byrd, fourth in English twelve. The team contested in only 10 of the 15 subjects in which there was competition, and they received mention in nine of the ten. As this was their first participation, since the beginning of the semester, petition in 1320, the teachers and students of the High School should be warmly congratulated on the honors won for themselves and Wilberforce community. An exceptionally interesting program has been prepared for Wilberforce University's commencement, this year, June 10-14, by President R. R. Wright, Jr., and members of the University Board, Rev W. H. Washington, D. C., will deliver the haccalaureate sermon, June 10, and Gov. Geo. E. White will deliver the annual commencement address, June 14. HEAR! HEAR!! Jazz The dinner at the P. W. A. Tuesday evening, sponsored by J. W. Wills, Sr., it is said, was for the purpose of trying to get local business men of color to go to the assistance of The Eagle, a weekly publication started in Cleveland, some months ago, by members of the race who publish the Atlanta, Ga. World. This is a fine (?) time—during the worse "economic depression" the world has ever known—to put money into any business position with the one who sees any of it again. But you know P. T. Barnum, the great show man of years ago, always used to say "One was born every minute". Nowadays, it seems, one is born every second! From now until the votes are finally counted next November, our wards and precincts are going to be crowded with a lot of white hypocrites (asking signatures to petitions, etc.) The colored voters should be spared this annoyance and exploitation. The men who can correct this situation are our three councilmen. They occupy positions of leadership. They owe their constituents something. The least they can do is to see that their wards are not proselytized by these cheap politicians. They also should see to it that their workers are not used as tools for the exploitation of the voters.—W. O. W. in O.B.P. Book. The foregoing is all very true. But why don't Friend Walker tell his readers the Councilmen's "connection" with some, if not all, of the so-called "hypocrites" circulating petitions etc.? It would surely be interesting and very illuminating. DETT'S RECITAL Pleases Greatly a Large Audience—Classic Selections Rendered as Well as Original Compositions Prof. R. Nathaniel Dett, former head of the music department at Hampton Va. N. & I. School, gave a concert in the P. W. A. auditorium, last week Thursday evening, that was an artistic and financial success. The composer-pianist rendered a program that included many of A. E. H. his own compositions and scored a distinct success with an audience that filled the hall. Dett is widely known for his important contributions to musical literature. His work displays native sensitivity, combined with and disciplined by thoroughgoing scholastic training. As a piano virtuoso he is not less competent, and he knows how to build a program that appeals to his listeners. For an opening number he chose the Liszt arrangement of Bach's Fantasia and Fugue in G minor This was followed by the same composer's "Caprice on the Departure of a Beloved Brother". Other selections ranged from Brahms's B Minor rhapsody to a "Danse degre" Boone. The program devoted entirely to Dett's gift devoted to Dett's compositions. These included his "Enchantment", "Magnolia" and "Cinnamon Grove" suites. The recitalist was assisted by the P. W. Madrigal Chorus, which sang well three of his choral works, "Wasn't That a Mighty Day","Weeping Mary" and "Listen to the Lambs." MARTIN IS O. K. Will Stand "Four Square" for All Our Rights and Privileges in City Hospital and Elsewhere. Cleveland, O., May 9, '34. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Gazette, Cleveland, O. Thank you for your complimentary notice of my appointment to serve on the Advisory Committee of City Hospital, I [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. shall make every effort to justify your confidence and that of the community, as evidenced by your statement and this appointment. Personally, I believe that the appointment is a fine recognition of correctness of the position of those like yourself, who have been insisting all along, that full and equal recognition was the right of our group in this, and in every other public institution maintained for the service and accommodation of our citizens. Sincerely yours, Alexander H. Martin. Mr. Ray C. Miller, member of the board of education, insists that Central High School should be placed on the same basis as other high schools in the city and says that it is not now, by a good deal, here some work for our local Federation of Women's Clubs and the N.A.A.A.

He Says Wilkins' Defense Too General—The Doris Weaver Case Recalled—U. S. Senator Capper, a Vice-President. My dear Mr. Smith:-I have been a reader of The Gatehill off and on for the past twelve or fifteen years. It has been a joy to note its sturdy, individual independence and its vigorous crusades for the causes in which it believed. For years, its slogan, "The Old Reliable", has stood for honesty and integrity at a time when some other papers, perhaps, were taking on less admirable qualities. For all these reasons, it was most surprising to see on the front page of your issue of April 21 a communication signed by "N.A.A.C. P. Member." We challenge the writer of that article to step forth and own his creation before the readers of the Gazette. He has made some nasty, unjust accusations against an organization which he cannot support with one scintilla of proof. He can take certain facts which are admitted and proceed to misinterpret them, but he cannot admit facts what he says they mean. He repeats, for instance, the old accusation that the N.A.A.C.P. is being supported in some manner by the Democrats. This charge is so ridiculous that it is hardly worth dignifying by a reply. Suffice it to say that if this Association were being rewarded by the Democratic Party or any political party in case it could, to keep it from being "support" it would not have to appeal for support to the general public as often and as insistently it does; its national officers would not be drawing lower salaries than any other national organization's, white or colored, nor would its national office be housed in a low-rent loft building, instead of a regular office building. The remarks about the "sinister" purpose, in handling news-items, of this Association, ridicuish, but incidentally, clearly identify the writer of the article. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does not expect to escape criticism; it has been criticized from the day it was organized. We do not claim never to have made any mistakes. We do not claim that our efforts always have been crowned with victory. We do claim, all anonymous detractors to the contrary, that the Association has fought always an uncompromising battle on the most meagre resources for what it has deemed to be the best interests of colored Americans. It has employed no mean tactics, indulged in no scurrilous fighting, and has been controlled by no faction, clique, political party, fraternal organization, newspaper, fund, or foundation. It has been dependent upon and responsive to its own procedures been otherwise, it might long before this have been given of existence or, worse still, have been enjoyed in this, its twenty-fifth year, a state of comfort and comparative opulence such as is popularly supposed to be provided by "the bosses". As an experienced journalist, Mr. Wilkins knows that a letter to an editor must be judged by its contents, not by the signature of the contributor. If the editor who publishes a communication knows its contents, he will do so seek publicity for myself. But Mr. Wilkins has given no answer to the indictments against recent N.A.A.C. P. inactivity where action was imperative. It is time for Mr. Wilkins and his associates to be specific in their defence, not to chatter over the identity of a letter writer. Mr. Wilkins and his associates, A.C.P., ever made clear to Ohans its real attitude on the Judge Allen fight, when its promised battle against her nomination ended in a flasco? Why has the N.A.A.C.P. never insisted on the real leadership of the Ohio Conference of Branches, especially when a national office representative was in attendance at the last annual meeting and knew exactly to what a low estate the conference had fallen? A shortage of funds is no excuse. Leadership could have been exercised at the expense of a few postage stamps. Why does not the N.A.A.C.P. give careful consideration to a declaration solemnly passed at its annual Chicago conference, namely, to acquaint the League of Nations with --- --- New York City, May 3, 1934.

Has it become any less? Under the Wilkins dispensation, any demand for action is "nasty." It is "nasty," in the estimation of Mr. Wilkins, to prick the bubble of infallibility and insist on greater efficiency at a time when the government, through allAH, abuses codes to reduce the collar man to the level of a chattel slave. The race press has given much space to these new codes. Why has the N.A.A.C.P. been silent? It is "nasty" to seek some information from New York on the entire Judge Allen affair. It is "nasty" to wish to be informed why Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, a vicepresident of the N.A.A.C.P., did not vote against the Allen selection when the N.A.A.C.P., officially protested against her elevation to the federal bench. It is "nasty" to want to know why space was given to a defense of the Weaver case decision by one Martha Gruening without hearing from the chief counsel for Miss Doris Weaver, Atty. Charles W. White. It is "nasty" apparently, to seek for more vigorous leadership, while the Scottsboro youths spend their fourth year in jail, while lynchings persist, and while jobs vanish. WOMEN SHINING SHOES Taking the Work Away From Our Boys—the Movie Stars' Lack of Clothing the Cause Daurte, Calif.—"Dr. D. J. Swackhanner, world greatest preacher in this North West", writes The Gazette: "Because white women wear such shoe shiners in Hollywood are losing out and white girls and women are learning how to shine shoes. For instance, the Shoe Shinette of Mrs. Hellen, 5th and Flower Sts., Los Angeles. Greeks, Bulgarians, Japs, Filipinos, Hindus, poor white Americans, Mexicans, Italians, and Frenchmen have helped rob the colored boys of their shoe-shinning business. Modesty has gone away from the way the movie star from the avengers, drawers, stockings, and a very short skirt. This makes it very hard for the white men to see colored men shining the movie stars' shoes". THE ART RAMBLERS To End Their Fifth Season, This Week, Will Have Good Plays, the Persona The Art Ramblers, a little theater group at Woodland Center, will premiere "Black Damp", this week Friday and Saturday evenings, and also present "Ti Yette" and "Cruiter" by John Mathens, one of the most successful of our new playwrights. Five years ago, a small group of our people assembled at the Woodland center Neighborhood House to form a dramatic club under the leadership of Miss Hague. A large bare room was set aside at the center as the playwrights. The room has emerged a Little Theater and "The Art Ramblers", whose purpose is to bring before the public plays which portray "Negro" life, with its tragedy as well as its richness of humor. Several of the members have broadcast over WHK The Art Ramblers: Clarence Atkins, Irene Catalan, Isaac Coleman, James Hardy, Ella M. Hawkins, Martin Hoyle, Marie and Wm. Jones, Mentlow McCadden, Bennie Palmer and James Scott. The plays are directed by James Scott. Mathems will be in the audience both evenings. Friends and patrons will be invited to a reception immediately following the performance. Wins Oratory Contest John A. Cobb, W. R. U. senior, was the winner of the Big Ten oratorical contest at the University of Minnesota, last week. Cobb spoke on discrimination against Afro-Americans and traced the accomplishments of the race. The openmindedness and co-operation of the white race is necessary, he said, for a solution of the problem. Dead at 101! ROCKY MOUNT, Va.—Mrs. Sarah Pinkard, age 101, died here recently.

The resignation of Coach Graves, of the State Department at Wilber- force, is a body-blow to athletics at the University from which that in- stitution will not recover for some years. His success with Wilberforce teams has really been exceptional. —a— ‘That was a good practical talk on “Our Educational System” that Miss Hunter, secretary of the P.W. A, made, recently, to our Edu- eational Association of Kentucky, if the portion of it published in The Dayton Forum, last week, is a cor- rect indication of the remainder Editor W. P. Dabney of The Cin- cinnati Union shows excellent judg- ment in appealing that case, and he will win it in the end. It seems that starting damage suits against those of our papers that are honest, loyal and aggressive in their support of our people is the “appreciation” too often shown by members of the race. li CITY HOSPITAL Most people do not know that there was never anything in the con- tract between the city of Cleveland and the Western Reserve Medical Unit, for control of the City Hospi- tal that made color-lines or other unfair racial or religious diserimina- tion legally possible at that public institution. ‘This fact was finally forced to the surface, several years ago, by Councilman Russell. Brown's resolution, adopted (ater a long wait) ‘by City Council when Wm. R. Hopkins was city manager. ‘That is one of the things that made the loyal of our people in this com- munity feél so bitter toward Hop- kin’s welfare director, Dudley 8. Blossom, under whom for years, our young women and men only, of all the various races or classes in the city, were not allowed to train as nurses and internes, respectively, in City Hospital. It took The Gazette and those who fought with it three long years to break down that bar- rier, finally buried under an ava- lanche of disgust by Councilman Walz’s resolution, with three “Ne- gro” councilmen, George, Payne, and Bundy, “The Blossom Triplets”, sit- ting supinely by looking on. Later on, it was their support of Director Blossom for re-appointment, by Hopkin’s successor in office, City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, that se- cured them the sobriquet, “The Blossom Triplets”, Last week, when Councilman Lar- ry Payne atmounced in the local daily press that Welfare Director David §. Ingalls had told him that he (Ingalls) “would not appoint a Catholic, a Jew or a “Negro” to membership in his City Hospital ad- visory Committee, Payne it seems, was laboring under an hallucina- tion which could easily become an obsession with one as “sore” as he was at the time who had been as ill as he had deen in recent weeks. Councilman John E. Hubbard, who refused to join his colleagues, Coun- cilmen Payne, Bundy and Finkle, in their disastrous (to them) fight on the Counet!’s resolution for the ap- pointment of the advisory commit- tee asked by Director Ingalls, said, Jast week Friday that Mr. Ingalls had told him several times, prior to last week Monday, that he (Ingalls) was going to give our people repre- sentation on the committee if the Counell passed favorably on the reso- Jution, and that he (Hubbard) nad t6ld Payne so after the latter had repeated to him his (Payne's) charge that Ingalls said he “would not ap- point a Catholic”, ‘Negro’ or a Jew to the committee”. While Jewish people are not represented on the ‘committee, the so-called “Negro” ‘and Catholics are, which of coarse leaves Payne in an uncomfortable spot, to say the least. In the light of this, one cannot de blamed for at least questioning the very harmful charge Payne, a “Blossom Triplet”, has made against Director Ingalls.

This is the rule in most cities of this state. “When ‘Negroes’ are more willing to fight for their rights, they will get them, Wherever there is a Civil Rights law on tke books (statutes), there is no excuse whatever for its not being invoked by our citizens when they are discriminated against because of their color or race. That such laws are not more frequently invoked is a sad reflection upon the desire of the race for its manhood rights". Ever since 1894, (forty years ago), when we secured the enact- ment of our Ohio Civil Rights law, we have urged our people to use it far oftener than they do. This is “a sad reflection upon the desire of the race for its manhood rights”, and discouraging in the extreme. As we Bite Sepentetly agit’ in yours gone by, citizens’ rightdthat are not worth fighting for in the courts are not worth having and exercising, and no sympathy should be extended those who fail to do so when re- fused. If others of the race were not harmed because of a failure of. such Afro-Americans to do their clear duty, it would not b¢ so bad, for every court-battle for rights that is won helps all of our people, particularly those living in the same community. Each succeeding year sees the efforts to bar our people from public places of accomodation, entertainment, etc., become more and more general because they fail to use the Civil Rights laws of the various states as they should. The net re- sult, therefore, is retrogression. We must show more self and race re- spect when it comes to our citizens rights and privileges in all public places.

IWinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of ouf Ohio law. Several other north- brn states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted antt-lynehing laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: MOBS. Section 6278. “Mob” and “lynching” defined. 6279, “Serious injury” defined. 6280, Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 5282.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C.

Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommoda- tion and amusement, denies to a citi- zen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shali be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or oth. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to b3 recov- ered in any court of competent juris- diction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. ‘The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do tor themselves, under it, in the courts.

When the bag becomes spherical in the thin air of the stratosphere, it will be large enough to enclose an 11-story building of normal height and of equal width. The assent, in which it is hoped to reach the highest point to which it is practicable for a balloon to lift a man, will be made in the United States. The purpose of the flight is to clear problems of the upper air that are still puzzling to science. It is estimated that it will rise to a height of more than 15 miles above sea level. The first ascent will be made in June by Capt. Albert W. Stevens, noted aerial observer and photographer of the army air corps, who conceived the project, and Maj. William Kepner, balloon expert of the army air corps. If this flight is successful, the same balloonist will make a second ascent in September, in order to check observations under similar conditions. Scientists to Give Aid. To advise in regard to the scientific plans and equipment, and to direct studies of the data collected, Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic society, has formed a committee of outstanding American scientists. Its members are: Dr. Lyman J. Briggs, director United States bureau of standards, chairman; Dr. F. V. Coville, United States Department of Agriculture; Gen. Oscar Westover, assistant chief, United States Army Air corps; Capt. R. S. Patton, director, United States coast and geodetic survey; Dr. W. F. G. Swann, Bartol Research foundation, Franklin institute, Swarthmore, Pa. Dr. Floyd K. Richtmyer, department of physics, Cornell university, and member research council, American Association for the Advancement of Science; Dr. Charles E. K. Mees, director research laboratory, Eastman Kodak company; Dr. Charles F. Marvin, chief of United States weather bureau, and Dr. John Oliver La Gorce, National Geographic society. The huge balloon to be used in the ascents will have a gas capacity five times that of the bag in which Commander Settle established his 11-mile record last November; and nearly three-and-a-half times that of the Soviet balloon which in September rose nearly 12 miles above the earth. The exact point at which the balloon will take to the air has not been selected, but it will probably be in the northern great plains region. Such a choice, it is pointed out, will give a room for drift to the northeast, east, or southeast and a landing in open country, so that the bag can be seized. The completed plans for the flights are due to the efforts of Captain Stevens, who has gathered data during the past eleven months directed toward the use in stratosphere flights of the largest balloon which it is practicable to construct, and an ascent to the highest point to which it is believed possible for man to rise in a gas bag, with hope of a safe landing. The mere attainment of altitude, however, is not a primary object of the ascents. It is desired to reach the greatest attainable height above the earth in order that conditions there can be observed. Stevens Has Experience. Captain Stevens has penetrated the lower levels of the stratosphere by airplane on numerous occasions and also has served as observer on a number of army balloon ascensions. During his high altitude flying he has collected much scientific data. In a flight over Dayton, Ohio, in October, 1928, he reached an altitude of 39,150 feet and obtained the only complete record of thermometer readings ever made in America, showing on the same day the "temperature gradient" in the region from the earth to the strato- sphere. Other such records of temperatures, from the earth to an altitude of approximately 80,000 feet, is one of the objectives of the 1934 ascents. Such data will be extremely valuable in weather studies. Another project of importance will be the trapping of samples of stratosphere air at several levels. These specimens will be analyzed and studied later in physical and chemical laboratories. The preliminary "agenda" for scientific data to be collected during the ascent contains 14 other items varying from high level photography and the ascertainment of the electrical condition of the air at various levels, to cosmic ray studies and efforts to determine ozone concentration. The mysterious ozone layer of the upper air which some scientists assert is all that saves life on the earth from destruction by ultra-short light rays, is thought to lie far above the highest point that can be reached by a manned balloon. It is hoped, however, that evidences of an increasing ozone content of the air can be detected 15 miles up. In order to house the many instruments and automatic recording devices that will be taken aft, the balloon will have attached to it a spherical gondola of light metal, eight feet four inches, in diameter. This diameter is one foot and a third greater than that of the gondolas used by Professor Piccard and Commander Settle, and will provide a cubic capacity more than twice as great. The instruments, many of them designed and modified by Captain Stevens as a result of trials during high altitude flights, will be largely automatic, leaving observer and pilot free to take up the many activities in the gondola that will require attention. A number of tiny cameras, using motion-picture film, will automatically and tirelessly "read" dials and clock faces simultaneously at frequent intervals. Kepner's Fine Record. Maj. William E. Kepler, who will pilot the stratosphere balloon, is one of the outstanding balloon pilots of the United States army. He served in the World war in the infantry and was decorated by both the American and French armies for exceptional services. He holds four medals: Legion of Honor, Croix de Guerre with Palm, Distinguished Service Cross, and Good Conduct Medal, United States Marine corps. He has been an officer of the air corps since 1920, and holds the aeronautical ratings of airplane pilot, airplane observer, airship pilot and balloon pilot and observer. He was winner of both the national and the international balloon races in 1928, receiving the Litchfield trophy and the King Albert of Belgium trophy. He was a classmate of Commander Rosendahl of the Los Angeles, and of Commander Settle, for three years at Lakehurst. Major Kepner holds a naval certificate as rigid airship pilot. He served on the Los Angeles as assistant navigator and received training from the German Zeppelin crew. He commanded the RS-1 semi-rigid airship in 1927-1928, and was the first to pilot an all metal airship in 1929. Captain Stevens has made innumerable high altitude photographs, some of them, by the use of infra-red rays, showing mountain peaks more than 300 miles from the camera. Two of his photographs, of extraordinary interest to geographers and astronomers, are unique. One taken from a plane 21,000 feet over central Argentina is the first photograph ever made showing laterally the curvature of the earth. The other, made at an altitude of 26,000 feet over southern Maine, in August, 1932, is the only photograph which shows the advancing front of the moon's shadow on the earth during an eclipse of the sun. Zuider Zee Now Yselmeer When the Dutch minister of public works recently inaugurated the dam across the Zulder Zee between North Holland and Friesland, the name Zulder Zee ceased officially to exist and Holland gained in reclaimed land and area equal to her largest province, Guelders. The dam transforms the old Dutch sea into a lake. It is 20 miles long. The dam begins at Wieringen island, where the ex-crown prince of Germany lived for some years in the blacksmith's house. The also famous island of Marken lies in the new lake, which is to be called "Tselmeer." The work begun in 1920 is finished, and plans are being made for a railway on the dam. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 12. 1934 J HOW about it, have you caught the Parisian inspiration for lace? Of course you have, or will have, before the season is far advanced. It just isn't possible to tread the highways and byways in fashionland and remain immune to the lure of lace. In the couturier showings for spring and summer, 1934, comes before our enraptured eyes a continuous procession of frothy, frilly, filmy dance and dinner frocks created of tulle and lace by such artists as Lelong, Mainbocher, Dilkusha and a host of other designers of high degree. A very new, very lovely and very chic idea is to animate slim, figure-fitting soft lace gowns with mirages of crisp tulle ruffles at shoulders and hemlines. One such is fashioned of shell-pink lace with crisp, sheer ruffles posed at the arms with billowy fullness about the hemline achieved through a frou-frou of many rufflings. The all-black lace gown with crisp black tulle ruffles or fine pleatings is a particular favorite. In contrast to the airy-fairy types of fluttery lace and tulle is the gown of classic lines fashioned of handsome soft mat lace, a lace, by the way, which is outstanding in the mode. In the illustration we are showing an exquisite evening dress of white mat lace made especially by Molyneaux for one of the major social events of Paris. It took the first prize at a ball. It would be a mistake, however, to carry the thought that the new laces are limited to the languid, glamorous social life. As a matter of fact, the most exciting doings of lace are taking place in the realm of tallieurs and V Capes made of sheer organdies, nets and mousselines similar to the model pictured are writing a charming chapter into the history of summer wraps. The theme of these dalyty little shuffled wraps is being made much of by designers. At Paris social gatherings you see them created of the most fascinating colorful sheers fancy can picture. The gown is of white transparent mousseline with large navy polka dots, for dots of every size from pin to coin and larger are the rage this season. There's nothing smarter than white with navy for evening wear. sports clothes. Especially attractive and eminently practical for daytime is the suit of beige lace with blouse of navy georgette or the jacket ensemble of green net with blouse of beige alencon lace. Lace for bathing suits, too, which makes real news, and for hats, for handbags, for ravishing neckwear and for entire dresses, ensembles and blouses, for gloves, too, if you please, and we must not forget the "darling" lace-covered slippers that will dance to sweet strains of music under starlit skies. Because a dress is fashioned of lace does not mean that it may not be smartly wearable and conservative. The afternoon dress of green wool lace on the seated figure in the picture is just such—one of the outstanding models of the house of Dilkusha. It is a princess model and is finished with a draped collar held by one of the new polished wool clips. A delicate web of black chantilly lace for the bodice top enhances the feminine allure of the dinner and theater gown centered in the group. Exquisitely thin cobwobby laces of this sort have captured the heart of the fashionable world this season, either in black, in white or pale beige, and in every imaginable pastel tone. The contrast between this lace and the soft mat velvet of the dress illustrated serves to emphasize the high neckline which is held with a crystal bar. The close wrist sleeves display the delicately traced lace patterning to perfection. © by Western Newspaper Union. SHADES OF VIOLET BLOSSOMING GAYLY Purples and violet shades are blooming gayly in fashion for spring, 1934. Last season some purple was seen in bounces and knitted frocks, and this year it is out in cottons and linens. For a long time it was felt that helotrope, orchid and violet shades were impossible in wash fabrics, as they came out in dull, muddy shades and did not hold their colors. These objections have been overcome, and the new violet range in handkerchief linens, French linens, glughams, organdies and shirtings are among the smartest of the season's offerings. Cotton frocks in these colors are sometimes combined with little jackets of purple wool or velveten. This new trend is as important for children as for grown-ups. Spring Hats Are Planned to Show Plenty of Hair Dutch bonnets, Breton sailors' hats and the jaunty turned up brims worn by the musketeers of LEArtagan's day inspire the first spring hats now shown in modiestes' salons. Eight out of ten roll right back from the face, making clear skins and smart coifures of prime importance. The rest tilt forward over one eye in a line as rakish as fashion has shown. All but are as feminine in design and effect as a perfumed hand- kerchief. "Show as much hair as possible, seems to be the decree. Many models are worn well back of the hair line, others tilted well to one side (generally the right) to show the other side of the head. Spring Woollens This year's wool's woven to fall in soft, heavy folds, cloaking the figure in graceful lines. Most of them are woven "tone on tone" with irregular stripes or bars of the same color making their design.
