ON WHAT'S DOING
Under Council President A. L. De Maioribus" City Manager Plan scheme, our people would lose one councilman, as only three are allotted "the area north of Woodland Ave, between the Cuyahoga river and E. 79th St." Hubbard would be beaten in the district comprising the northeast section (east of E. 79th St.) "Sonny's" proposed charter amendment is to be introduced in City Council, Monday evening.
Regardless of all said to the contrary, just wait and see the local people placed in charge of the rentals, in the Outhwaite and Cedar-Central "slum" areas, by the government draw color and race lines, just as the Gazette has predicted for nearly a year. That is the southern "cracker" way whenever they are in control and in the city, inington, D. C. The Rounder suggests that you, who differ from this statement, cut this out and paste it in your hat for future reference.
Councilman John E. Hubbard is scheduled to introduce his resolution. Monday evening, authorizing the removal of a fence which is very harmful to Mr. and Mrs. Bryant's business at their gasoline station, corner E. $55 St. and Cedar Ave. All of their friends and hundreds of others in the city, many of whom are interested in the case and watchfully to see what the councilman is going to DO, in addition to the introduction of the resolution to help them promote their business in spite of the opposition of Rev. David Ormone Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. A number of the leading members of the church have assured Mr. and Mrs. Bryant that their sympathy is with them and that they do not approve of the unauthorized entrance. If the councilman secures the removal of that fence, it will be nearly impossible for anyone to defeat him for re-election, this fall. If he fails to do it, he will be just too bad!
With the general agreement that they would support no proposed county charter which would allow their citizens to be governed "by the Payne-Finkle-Bundy crowd," or which would increase the per capita indebtedness of their populations, about 100 officials of Cleveland sub-

300 YEARS OLD!
The Pair of Glasses Showed by Miss Jockman—Bone Rims and All—Chinese Manufacture
There is nothing new about helping the human seeing machine by means of eye-glasses according to Dr. Matthew Lucklesh, world authority on light and a member of the Cleveland Sight Saving Council. Various kinds of spectacles have been in existence for centuries. The pain shown here by Miss Nancy Jockman are 300 years old, and have bone rims. They are of Chinese manufacture. Dr. Lucklesh declares that
THE LADY OF THE LIGHTS
what is new in adding the eyes is the providing of light with absolute accuracy. This measurement is accomplished by the distinct science of lighting. The science of seeing is making full use of the findings of the science of lighting. Science has proved that poor lighting is one of the causes of near-sightedness and that good lighting aids defective eyes even more than it does normal eyes. The light is no substitute for proper eye correction. It is nevertheless one of the best preventives of defective vision. The three-light lamp is the latest development of proper light.

That Payne-Finkle-Bundy talk is mighty cheap politicalrot based solely on a dirty appeal to racial prejudice. It gives The Rounder a pain in the rectum. Mayor Stein and the others who used it ought to be ashamed of themselves. Payne and Bundy are so-called "Negroes" and Finkle is a Jew, all three councilmen duly elected by citizens of Cleveland just as good and responsible as Mayor Stein and his cohorts. Everybody but Stein & Co. seem to know that Mayor Harry L. Davis, the members of his cabin and the mayor of Cleveland, and the government of this city" and not "Payne-Finkle-Bundy." So why get down in the gutter of dirty, rotten politics, Mr. Stein & Co. to make an appeal to the prejudice of "about 100 officials of Cleveland suburbs west of Cuyahoga river" and others in the county outside as well as in the city?

WHAT THE SEVEN LEADING CHRISTIAN NATIONS ARE ABOUT TO DO.
A Holy War for Pelf and Plunder From Black People of Africa—Priest and Protestant Lead the Van.
The seven leading Christian nuitions of the world are about to begin another holy war. This time the march of the Christians is not to plant the cross or to carry the faith, but to take by bye and plunder the last restyle of rights and privileges from the black people of Africa, to priest and protestant have decided to invade the fertile Congo valley. This is not the first time that greed, selfishness and lust for gold has caused Christians to act in unison. This is an old story; the sword has ever been the companion of the cross. In making Christianity answer the purpose desired by its promoters, seven highly civilized nations have divided among themselves what is left to their black brothers in the dark convent.
Strange to say the Christ which these nations are presumed to represent and whose teachings stand as the basis of civilization, has for centuries been pictured as gentle, peaceable, and kind in their new interpretation has suddenly become a commercial Christ. It is not without interest to observe that this blood-thirsty bore bears a close relationship in both blood and kind to those early cruisers who were not unlike Constantine who waded thru blood to conquer the city of Rome and the sky the fiery cross.

RACE DIVISION
IN HOUSING HERE
Washington, D. C.—Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes last Saturday assured Councilman Ernest J. Bohn of Cleveland that there would be no race segregation in the Cleveland low cost housing projects of the PWA housing division. Bohn came to Washington to present to Ickes the formal protest of the Cleveland City Council against reports that a segregation policy would be followed in the Cedar-Central and Outhwaite slum clearance projects.
"Mr. Ickes said the PWA never had any intention of adopting a race segregation policy and quite agrees with me that the whole business is simply to provide housing for low income groups regardless of race or race segregation," he admitted that he had served as a director of the N. A. A. C. P. in Chicago and was in hearty accord that all groups must work together on the housing program. I feel that my talk with Mr. Ickes was completely satisfactory." concluded Mr. Bohn.
The publicity sent out by PWA contained a different version from what Ickes gave, Saturday. With Bohn when he interviewed Ickes was Col. Horatio B. Hackett, head of the PWA housing division, who pointed out that the government proposed to send units to local housing authorities which will handle the rental of apartments,

The sensational new Russian Grand opera, "Lady Macbeth of Mzensk", which had its American premiere at Severance Hall, on Thursday night, will be repeated, Saturday night, Feb. 2, by the Cleveland Orchestra, an all-Russian cast of mighty singers and with Artur Rodzinski conducting. On Tuesday night, the Cleveland Orchestra and the same cast and orchestra in New York at the Metropolitan Opera House. Seats are at Severance Hall and Taylor's, 630 Euclid Avenue, at $1 to $3.
Thru her attorney, the Hon. Chester K. Gillespie, Miss Willetta Brown, of 5717 Kinsman Rd., has entered suit against the Pennsylvania-Greyhound (Bus) Lines for violation of our Ohio Civil Rights law. Miss Brown asks $2,500 damages as the result of a refusal of service in a restaurant at Cincinnati, on account of her color or racial connection, or both. In her petition she alleges that her service and mistreatment by bus officials and a prejudiced passenger while en route thru Kentucky and Tennessee to her destination in Cleveland, Tenn., that from the bus driver and passenger being exceptionally insulting and contemptible. The Gazette trusts that Miss Brown will NOT permit her attorney to "sette the case" with the company, but insist on the latter being brot into court and our people of the community as well as herself given the full benefit of such assistance which will help all concerned more than two dozen civil rights cases "settled out of court." According to Miss Brown, the company's local claim adjuster and agent told her that it did not advertise in "Negro" newspapers and that "that was a clear indication that the company did not desire the patronage of 'Negroes.'" That claimagent needs to be told that public carriers in Ohio are not permitted, under this state's laws, to decide that the company should not include the so-called "Negro" or be amenable to our Ohio Civil Rights Law. This the Pennsylvania-Greyhound (Bus) Co. will be made to thoroughly understand at the conclusion of Miss Brown's damage suit.

The latest abortive effort to again foist the City Manager Plan on Cleveland would be amusing were it not so serious a matter. The bonded indebtedness of this city is now in excess of 117 million dollars. Most of this great burden was foisted on the tax-payers of this community during the short life of the City Manager plan, the delight of the professional political leaders.

In a long, wordy letter, under date Jan. 24, "35, to Chester K. Gillespie, chairman of the legal defense committee of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch, Sheriff John M. Sulzmann not only admits segregating "Negro" prisoners in the county jail but also admits doing the same thing for them, "both men and women alike in the chapel of the jail." He says "Colored men" (prisoners) asked him for "the privilege to live with one another, to sleep in the same cell blocks with one another," etc., etc. Also, that "the Colored people (meaning prisoners) would not want to change back to the old system where Colored and white people were mingling." All of which is nothing but Sulzmann "hooie" and Johnny knows it. Likewise, Gillespie and the rest of the legal defense committee of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch.
KELLY WRONG, AS USUAL.
Speaking of our people in Pittsburgh's refusal to accept "Colored teachers on the basis of separate schools," Kelly Miller says "they have permitted a theory to outweigh a condition" which is unquestionably the better thing to do under the circumstances. Better never have a "Colored teacher" than to have separate schools, segregation! The latter would banefully affect all of our people in that city in order that a few "Colored teachers" might be benefitted, financially. In plain words, Kelly Miller would have a vital principle, that affects all the people, violated in order to place a few or more "Colored teachers." All his mature life, he has taught in a separate school. This explains his inability to see the real point at issue and to feel that our people of Pittsburgh have permitted "a theory to outweigh a condition." As a matter of fact, the "theory" is a thousand times more important to them than the condition he refers to.
SCOTTSBORO-HERNDON.
There is being organized in Cleveland a group of prominent men and women of both races, who intend to advertise the plight of the Scottsboro boy-victims and the tragedy of Angelo Herndon, a young Georgian of color who was given a twenty-year sentence for exercising the right of free speech. When final plans have been announced, full support to the Scottsboro-Herndon defense movement should be accorded. The Gazette feels that the neither the Scottsboro affair nor the Herndon tragedy has been given the publicity they deserve even among our people. We are consequently firmly convinced that the proposed Cleveland defense organization is entitled to the fullest support. It is not to the credit of Afro-America that many know less about Scottsboro than do the citizens of Shanghai or Tokyo. Our innocent boy-victims of southern prejudice and oppression can be saved, but it requires money and tremendous effort, involving millions of protestants. Cleveland will soon have an opportunity to do its share in the fight for the boy-victims' freedom. In alding the battle of others of the race, we help ourselves.
HOUSING COLOR LINE
It will be local housing authorities, in charge of the rental of apartments in the government's so-called low-cost housing units, that will adopt and carry into effect the race segregation policy announced from Washington, D. C., last week, by the PWA. (See our Washington, D. C., letter on "Race Division in Housing Here", elsewhere in this paper.) What Councilman Ernest J. Bohn seems to lose sight of is the fact we have repeatedly called attention to in recent months, and that is that southern "crackers" are in control of the administration at Washington, D. C., and will determine the segregation policy to be followed in the Outhwaite and Cedar-Central areas, as well as elsewhere in the country, as far as our people are concerned. They are determined, just as far as possible, to bring about the separation of the two races in this section of the country just as they have it in the South. It was so in many instances during the Thomas Woodrow Wilson southern Democratic-controlled administration, and will be so in the Outhwaite and Cedar-Central housing units, just as it is in the Atlanta, Ga., housing unit.
THE DRIVE INTENSIFIED.
The New Deal, embracing in its provision a vicious attack on Afro-Americans in every section of the country, is now to be felt in Cleveland. Councilman Ernest J. Bohn paved the way for the attack on our liberties with his fake-housing scheme for the Cedar-Central-E. 22d St. area. Being fully satisfied that Cleveland's more than 80,000 Afro-Americans can be fed any kind of sauce and be made to like it. Mr. Bohn, Mr. Leyton Carter, president of Cleveland Housing, Inc., and some ex-Alabaman who boasts that he knows "how to handle" our folk, seem to be determined to extend segregation here in Cleveland to the very limit. Separate ("jim-crow") schools will come next, pushed to the utmost by the southern Democratic administration at Washington and backed locally by its prejudiced and selfish hechmen and those "too-too-boss" Negro Democrats, male and female, who can be counted upon to sell out their own people for a pat on the back or a promise of a job for themselves or some of their relatives or friends. It is tragic to contemplate the spectacle, but there is a way out. We commend Rev. Horace White of Mt. Zion Cong, church, this city, for calling attention to the attack upon our vanishing liberties. Unless we are on guard and active, we shall be herded in ghettos right here in Cleveland, imprisoned by designing realists and criminal bankers, using fake liberals as their "fronts." Behind it all will be the Roosevelt administration, Fixie-controlled from top to bottom. Organized resistance can smash the "jim-crow" program for Cleveland. Afro-Americans hold the balance of political power both in Cleveland and in Ohio. They can smash the "cracker" power in Ohio and they must do it! In our forthcoming local campaign, and in next year's state and national campaigns, Ohio must do its share to smash the reviving slavocracy. Afro-Americans must reach out immediately for alliances, with liberals who are still loyal to liberal ideals, with organized labor and others. We must profit by past experiences. We must take for granted that the white ministry, with the rarest of exceptions, is linked up with our enemies. We must expose the pretences of well-paid jobholders who have posed as our friends. Our real friends are nearer the bottom of the economic heap than the top. But thanks to Mr. Roosevelt and others of his stamp, the bottom grows larger and stronger, while the top is beginning to shake. Let us say to our designing enemies: "Gentlemen, study: a little history. Learn that history never repeats; the similarities between the past and present are only superficial. We are accepting no segregation, even though an attempt is made to thrust it upon us in the guise of 'ideal homes.' We are going to have the full rights of American citizenship, no more and no less. And in order to obtain them, we shall not hesitate to form alliances with the underprivileged of your own race, whose homes are no better than ours, and whose opportunities for work, wholesome play, and decent leisure are also no whit superior."
Gentlemen, we know your game and we shall do our best to combat it.
HOUSING COLOR-LINE.
For nearly a year, The Gazette has been telling its readers what would be the rule in renting to tenants to occupy the houses to be provided in the Cedar-Central area by the government in carrying out its housing plan. Few seemed to credit the statements and fewer paid attention to them. But all "woke up with a bang", last week, when the local daily press published a statement from the government at Washington to the effect that the Outhwaite area, would be "for Negroes" and the Cedar-Central area "for whites." Some of our people are consoling themselves with the statement issued by the N. A. A. C. P. local branch, that injunction proceedings may be instituted against the government. The
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1935.
southern Democratic controlled Roosevelt administration, which controls the Outwaite and Cedar-Central so-called housing-projects, is NOT permitting laws of any kind to interfere with its isms, asms and projects. So challenging the legality of the use of federal funds for such segregational projects will prove to be a waste of time, whether the latter are constitutional or "unconstitutional." So Councilman Bundy. Finkle, Hubbard and Payne's protest-resolution, introduced in Monday evening's meeting of City Council, will prove just as effective as the sneeze of a Chinaman in his native country. What they can do, however, that will prove effective, is to hold up the street vacation ordinances for the Cedar-Central and Outwaite areas until the segregation rule for both areas is abandoned by the government's representatives that made it, as Councilman Bundy suggested, the first of the week. We trust they will do this. Monday evening when Councilman Payne moved for a re-reference to committee of the street vacation legislation, Councilmen Herbert R. Cuyler and Clarence L. Young said this appeared to them as a rather vindictive move and with Councilman Ernest J. Bohn that it might delay the start of construction of buildings in the area. Now isn't that just too bad—their fears of delay? Better wipe out the whole thing than permit the segregation. Councilman Bundy said the street vacation ordinances might be used as weapons to impress on the government a realization "that it erred in ordering segregation in the housing projects," and he is right. That is exactly what our councilmen and Herman Finkle must bring about. That is their big job! And our people of this community will watch, with exceptional interest, the progress they make. All four, Hubbard, Payne, Bundy and Finkle, are to stand as candidates for re-election, this fall. So "step on the gas," in this matter, gentlemen!

ATTENTION!
Business men and women particularly should recognize the fact that advertising with circulars, pills and cards, distributed by hand or otherwise, are of little use in convincing a purchaser, and more often give him the impression that the thing advertised is an article of low quality. Those who seek to sell seemingly lose sight of the fundamental idea in advertising, namely, to give the thing advertised aceptable pay off by advertising through a legitimate medium. Purchasers as a rule pay little attention to circular and handbill advertising because the medium through which it is advertised shares none of the responsibility as to the reliability of the thing advertised.

I'm writing this letter to you in the dressing room before I go into the ring, and I wish to heavens I was writing it after I and come out because then I would know I was fit to write so don't mind it the writing is a little shakery. There must be a least when I took a look I figured they must be women because they have on women's clothes and every one of them hollowering for some one to kill some one else. I suppose if I was to get killed they would delight a lot of them may including my wife. I'm just writing to tell you, Al, if I live in the house I will be for good even if it's in the bush联赛 and you can tell all the boys so. I hope none of the gang has bet on me.

Honey Ants
The Ants Clinging to the Ceiling Are Filled With Honey.
Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
THOUSANDS of tourists visit the Garden of the Gods in Colorado each year. They stand in awe before fiery-red pinnacles etched against the blue sky. They marvel at those fantastic rock formations—the gods of mythology, with their human shapes, some of their hats, most of their spears, and a few of their cathedral spires, towering about them in red sandstone. They are unaware of an ancient, dramatic "civilization" living under their feet.
Yet here, in the sandstone ridges, dwell creatures who might themselves have stepped from living myths—creatures with yellow heads and large, inflated, translucent bodies, who are, perhaps, the most self-sacrificing beings known.
In fairy tales boys and girls are fattened by witches, so that they 'may later be eaten with gusto. In this race, dwelling in darkness in the Garden of the Gods, children are fed enormously, so that a few may become overcapacious and hang in underground cellars for months, for years, as living casks of honey. This would be terrifying were these creatures human. Instead, they are honey ants. Honey ants are unhuman and unlike any other insects in their translation of themselves into honeypots. They gather a honey not unlike that of bees and store it in round, thin casks that let the beautiful amber of honey shine through. But the casks possess living trunks, living heads, living legs. They hang by living claws to the cellar roof, and open a living spigot when an imbiber comes to drink. For this, children are fed to enormous size and chambered in eternal darkness.
Here and there, across the tufts of grama grass and wild sunflower heads, gleam little mounds of red sandstone and bright-colored quartz>craters cut into rock. The red, loose stones roll on all out sides to a diameter of about thirty inches, with each mound rising to three or four inches, pierced by a large central entrance hole.
Outside, all looks simple; but inside, a descending shaft runs vertically for a while, before carrying off sharply to a long gallery, and other shafts, forming galleries under galleries, all running in the same direction. Then, seldom far from the surface, usually up or down a few steps from a main gallery, single or in suites, are the wine cellars, the honey chambers, the forever-homes of the swollen members of the race.
Wonderful Honey Chambers.
The honey chambers where they hang are virtually death chambers, except that life flows from them freely. The severed casks of honey in the burial grounds form a nightmare thing, cask rolled beside cask. But beauty exists in the ants' refusal to touch a honey cask after its owner has died. The little crammed honey-pots stand idle and untouched, once they are rolled into the cemeteries.
Be an Alice in Wonderland in such a home, if you will. Come down that wide central stair, having ducked into the rabbit hole, passed sentinels at the gate, and given the essential salute. All is dusky dim; only that glimmering round of daylight above. You turn left down a long, narrow passage, which leads into deeper and deeper darkness; but the floor glints up with a firm polish—the floor deliberately made smooth, not merely worn smooth by the passing of innumerable feet. And the walls are smooth and straight, a sort of guide in the dark.
Little feet rustle by—ants laden with earth, excavating a new room far at the end of the passage. All that mound above was formed by similar excavations; each pebble, each shining bit of quartz, was carried along galleries up the main stairs and out.
"Um-m-m!" An act licks her mandibles, giving it a vague sweet scent. Honey! Somewhere near is a honey cellar. The ant has paused in working to take a good stiff drink. A shaft descends darkly to the left; cautiously down, down, to a great vaulted, globelighted room.
The vaulted roof is clustered with enormous hangings lamps. No, not lamps; palate amber spheres, hanging about midway into the room, occupying half the cellar space. The globes glow with the light that lives in honey; their pale-gold color is the richness of honey; that scent rising from them is the warm flavor of honey. Each globe is a living jewel, nothing more nor less than the distended body of a living ant, filled almost to bursting with limpid honey, clutched to the roof by its claws. They crowd the arched ceiling; stir restlessly; twist their yellow heads, squirm their shoulders, but do not lose en hold. Below them the clean waits
slope to the level floor, which is swept, polished, made smooth. But the roof is grity, purposely left rough, for the claws to maintain perch. The roof arches half again the height of the walls; a cellar made deliberately for honey casks, to allow free passage beneath, space for keeping the honey cakes clean and the cellar free from mold.
An Ant Takes a Drink
There are little soft sounds, as the great globes stir, shift an arm or foot, sway a little nearer to a neighbor, "Careful! Don't dare lean. You might break me!" And one turns a pointed yellow head toward another's. The globes are not all clear amber. Queen dark planes streak them. Their translucent part is inner skin stretched to balloon proportions, pushing apart the dark planes of the outer body, forming islands on a globe map of strange world seas.
Suddenly an ant enters to drink. She looks like these hanging ants, yellow-headed, yellow-waisted, but she wears no inflated balloon. Her antennae lift inquisitively. Already the foretaste of honey is in her mouth. She stands almost erect, climbs to the hanging ants, leans to its little close mouth, "Open, please." Obediently its mouth opens. Up comes a clear drop of honey, pushed up by some inner movement, to hang a moment, glistening on, the cask's lower mandible, before dropping into the waiting ant's mouth.
She takes one, two, even three drops. "Thank you; you may close." She climbs down, and the little spigot mouth closes. Before the ant leaves she daintly wipes her mouth against the back of her hand, smooths down her back hair, then trots off, groomed, well fed.
Another ant enters; another, another. Each climbs to a chosen sphere; says, "Open, please." with that leaning of mouth to mouth and the mouth opens and up comes the honey drop.
But suppose they enter to deposit honey rather than receive it. What then? Painfully, slowly this time, because so laden they are almost honey casks themselves, the ants climb to the hanging casks, place mouth to mouth. "Open, please," and with antennae held back out of the way, let drops of honey form on their mandibles to enter the obedient casks.
This new honey is almost white in its freshness. As long as drops are there to fall in, the little spigot mouth holds open. Then the emptied ant, relieved, turns away; and the globe, clinging to the roof, gleams larger, more bulbous still, with the added content. It scarcely dares draw a full breath, move an arm, or shift a leg for fear this new weight and fullness will make it burst or fall.
Developed Into Honey Casks.
Poor little doomed creatures! What determined such a fate? When young, they resembled other ants. They had the same two stomachs—one private, the other for communal use. Much that entered their mouths they never tasted, for it passed at once to the communal crop, to be fed later to the queen (whose duties are like those of the queen bee); to males (resembling drones in a hive); to workers, or to baby ants. But some showed an enormous capacity for food. How they begged, their pale mouths open all the time! Now these are honey casks.
Late dusk in the Garden of the Gods. The sandstone gods are cold and dark. They have had their play of light all day, while the red mounds of the ants stayed quiet, with gates closed. Seemingly all inside were asleep; yet few ants slept, being busy, most of them, with underground tasks. Now ants push out of that round tubular hold so fast they cover the mound. If this were daylight, no red rock would shine. Yellow ants are everywhere, by hundreds, by thousands. A ring of sentinels begins pacing the outer edges of the mound. Others guard the gate, their heads thrusting up, like soldiers with bayonets. Still others move about the narrow platform surrounding the gate, while one ant, then twenty, then a whole column of ants, move off over the ridge, preparing for a march. In the vales between the ridges, far, far away, low scrub ants in the light of the moon, thrust up their dark thick leaves. The ants know these dwarf oaks.
They move through straggly bunches of grass on a familiar path, with scant deviation, reaching the oak cove in fifteen minutes. Moonlight pierces the leaves sharply, revealing the ants straddling up the stems, clambering out over leaves, searching endlessly, sometimes fruitlessly, for new oak galls, with their tiny flashes of shining sweet.

All-Important Little Dinner Hats
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
1
FROM the supreme court of fashion comes the ultimatum that with the formal dinner gown some sort of a flattering little hat must be worn. Likewise a pretty frivolous and feminine bit of headgear is an absolute necessity for wear during the cocktail hour, at the theater and for cafe dancing and other midwinter social events. So on with the dinner hat!
Just how might a dinner hat be defined? Well, for one thing it is ornamental if not useful. Yes, indeed, this whimsical little headpiece simply must add a truly decorative touch to the costume, which it does most dramatically this season. It may be created of most anything fine and fanciful, a wisp of tulle, a bandeau of glittering sequins or sparkling rhinestones with perhaps a dash of velvet or taffeta, satin or gleaming lace. Most important of all is a veil. By all means add a veil, a firtulous veil, a cunning veil, a veil with a "come hither" look, a veil that flatters in that it accents your good points and conceals the others. In short, it must be a veil that crowns your head and hat with glory.
The illustration offers a few hints as to dinner hat trends. The fascinating little hat with a muff—of course, you sighted the muff at first glance, for it is so new, so chic and so charming it needs must attract attention. "Lucky muff," they call them, brings good fortune to the one wearing it, so the story goes in fashionland. A very versatile muff it is, too, for it is as practical and useful as it is pretty, since
HAT BRIM SMALLER;
BACK IS TURNED UP
There's an epidemic of small vivid hats and scarfs to brighten the winter scene. Brimmed hats are still with us, but the brims are smaller and turned up in buck, so as not to interfere with the sables and the silver fox. Debentures are going for the high-hat Cossack caps of corduroy and velveteen, with matching neckchief or Ascot, to wear with dark winter suits and coats. They are round, Russian effects, high-crowned and brimless, that have an undeniable dash. They come in such cheering colors as scarlet, emerald green, chartreuse, coral and old rose, and add nice colors of color to sober winter costumes.
Popular Afternoon Frock
Is of Gray Waffle Crepe
Gray waffle crepe combined with navy taffeta is used to create a very smart formal afternoon frock. The navy blue taffeta forms the high waisted bodice which has a Pierrot collar shirred on a cord and fastens with a small knot at the back.
The ankle-length skirt of gray waffle crepe features a slit on the left side to just below the knee. A box coat of the crepe has wide and full three-quarter sleeves lined with nays taffeta. Gray suede pumps are worn with the dress.
Are Inspired by Cuisine
Fashion will turn to the cuisine for inspiration in the spring hosiery shades. Among the new colors will be "ice tea," "ice coffee," "egg nog," and "frape." The first is a dark suntan, the second a medium suntan, the third a nude evening shade and the fourth a light neutral shade.
Since fabric colors will be bright for spring, hosiery tints will show a livelier quality.
Straight and narrow, slashed and slithering—this is the skirt formula for morning, afternoon and evening. Lengths vary with hours.

its attractive exterior conceals within its depths pockets for your vanity case, your "hanky" and your purse.
The hat and muff pictured are fashioned of brown velvet with bandings of gold sequins. The little veil is stiffened just enough to impart sprightfulness. Muff and hat sets of this type made up of maline and flowers are ideal for bridesmaid wear.
The toque sketched in the upper left-hand corner is styled of tafetta and maline. Order it in black or any color of your choice. The scalloped edge about the large circular maline veil is a new feature this season. This model in sweet color paints makes a ravishing headdress for the bride's attendants.
Sketched immediately below is the new wrap-around turban, a type which is very smart for the matron. Erect folds of maline spiral around and around like a winding staircase to the very pinnacle of the crown. A banding of jet-sequins encircles the headline.
A youthful off-the-face hat is next shown. The maline shape has a molded turn-back cuff with a flange of maline on the crown to give it height. Recurring folds of tafetta with tiny bows of the same form the trimming.
The picturesquely veiled hat in the lower left corner features the very smart Marina coronet, the same formed of intricately braided folds of black velvet. The veil is a huge circle with a cut-out in the center which slips over the crown and is then brought down under the chin in bride effect.
Each of the remaining two hats work satin folds and maline together. The one is a jockey cap type with a wee stiffened eyebrow veil. The veil with the big beauty spot of black satin is one of fashion's latest novelties.

QUILTED TAFFETA
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Designers are doing many interesting things these days with quilted and stitched effects. It is not only that dresses and coats are trimmed with quilted collars, cuffs and belt, for the latest movement is for wraps which are all-over quilted. In the picture the coat which is styled with a faring hemline and cape-sleeves according to latest fashion dictates, is made of quilted cerise taffeta. The dress is of the same taffeta minus the quilting.
**Collar and Cuffs**
New collars and cuffs show a fishnet effect, and another splendid idea—there is a wider assortment of collars to be had without the necessity of buying cuffs, too.
**Dinner Gown**
An unusual material is used for a luxurious dinner gown of white taffeta with stripes of chenille and gold lame.

IF YOU HAPPENED to see this unusual looking ship flying over your home one of these days, you'll know you've seen the latest in modern airplanes. It's a new craft with staggered wings and disappearing landing and tail wheels. It is one of three ships carrying H. L. Faust, and seven other members of the aviation department of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, Inc., on a coast-to-coast air tour of America to introduce the new Aero Mobili oil made by the revolutionary Clearcoil Process.
