LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE YEAR'S REVIEW What the Past Year has Revealed in the Advancement of the Negro's Condition. Marvelous Strides in Many Spheres in the Uplift of the Race. VOL. XV, THE YE What the Past Year has Revealed Condition. Marvelous -S the Uplift The New York Age of last week had the following review of the Negro and his progress: In no one of the forty-five years of its free history perhaps, has the Negro race made such happy and substantial strides forward as in the year just closing. Looking calmly and honestly at the position of the citizens of color in this republic after the lapse of the last year who can doubt this? What Negro is there with soul so dead realizing his better position, as not to be inspired to harder labor and greater progress for the future? This, we believe, is the meaning of the old year and the new for the Negro. Untoward incidents neither few nor insignificant, but emphasized as always and everywhere, have come. But closer review will reveal them matched by events both favorable and encouraging. The Berea College case gave the sanction of law to Kentucky's separation of her black and white students. But this illwind has blown a new Berea costing a half million dollars to the Negroes of Kentucky. Michigan by a decision, the exact reverse of that in the Berea case may not refuse to colored students admission to her educational institutions. The Negro soldiers at Brownville came in for much criticism and political discussion. But the Negro soldiers in the Philippines and the Negro cavalry at West Point have won warm praise: While by recent executive order four Negroes with commissioned officers' rank and pay will henceforth lead the four bands of the famous Negro regiments, Fierce and bitter mob law has laid its cursed hand upon Negroes in various sections of this country during the past twelve months. That same mob law reaching higher up has struck down leading white citizens, has destroyed and stifled industry and thereby has brought about a deep and widespread movement for the extinction of mob law. More than all that, the Negro has made achievements and has received recognition, which a generation or a decade ago were impossible are now so common as to receive but fleeting notice. In the last few days a Negro editor has been appointed State Librarian of West Virginia. A Negro heads the naturalization bureau at Boston and a Negro was appointed Assistant District Attorney for the government at Chicago. Baltimore, forty years ago mobbing a Union regiment on its way to the front, in August illuminated a section of the city and erected a court of honor to greet the National Negro Business League. Politically, the Negro has triumphantly passed through a crisis. The election of Taft gave a great and needed boon to the cause of equal rights. It has rendered silence and impotent the Negro's enemies in the nation. The cancerous "lily white" Republican party in the South sustained and possible only through Federal patronage, has received a death blow in the ultimatum of President-elect Taft at the dinner of the North Carolina Society of New York. During the year the avowed opponents of Negro progress in several States, wishing to climate and circumscribe the race's rights, as Vardaman in Mississippi wishing to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment, Cowhead in Missouri wishing to "jim crow" Negroes and the Democratic party in West Virginia wishing to disfranchise Negroes, were turned down. Industrially during the year the Negro has gained in wealth, business and property everywhere. Thousands and thousands of Negroes according to our observation, own homes in this country to day who did not own them a year ago today. At least a half dozen new Negro banks one in the North at Chicago, business enterprises including realty companies, innumerable fraternal temples as in New Orleans and Jacksonville, a large increase in government employees, the extension of the "buy-land" movement in the South, all proclaim a progress and a beginning of co operation among Negroes as general as it is gratifying. Socially and educationally, the past year has meant the same advance. The abominable "jim crow" car conditions of the South DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1909. are being remedied, thanks to the enforcement of the equal accommodations ruling by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the manly stand of the Negroes in Georgia. Arkansas and Oklahoma. A campaign against the disease playing havoc with the Negro, consumption, has been inaugurated by the National Negro Anti Tuberculosis Congress holding its session at Tuskegee this month. Thousands of college and high school graduates during this year have taken their place in the ranks to live down by their success their neighbor's prejudice and the race problem. The demand for an education is being supplied more largely today than ever before. A wise philanthropy is increasing its generous aid of Negro education. As a fitting climax to the progress of Negro education, Judge Taft continues a member of the Jeannes Fund Committee with its fund of more than a million dollars for rural Southern Negro Education, while the next meeting of the committee will be held in the White House. The New Year means this new opportunity, this increased opportunity for the Negro. We want every Negro to make and work to this one resolution: to be further advanced one year from today than he is today. This is the meaning of the New Year to the Negro. COLOR LINE DRAWN IN TRAINING HOSPITALS FOR COLORED GIRLS The course of 1908 has developed into the Negro race through many of the Negro doctors in the United States When we pause to think that we hold prejudice amongst ourselves and then wander why the whites are prejudiced we come to the conclusion that the white man has more reasons to be prejudiced than Negro against a Negro In six letters it has been brought to our notice that a woman of dark complexion is not permitted to enter a training hospital as our doctors refuse to have them handling their instruments and wait on them. If this damnable state of affairs exists among us and be permitted to continue, truly the condition of the race is pitiful. Names of doctors have been furnished us by several of these ladies, but we hope that a hint to the wise will be sufficient to promote a more harmonious feeling. Let ability count instead of looks, and profit be experience.—Chicago Defender. MOTHER OF CHAMPION. Galveston, Texas., December 26. Mrs. Tinney Johnson, the widowed mother of Jack Johnson, who won the heavy-weight championship over Tommy Burns, says she made a fighter out of the boy, who is one of the three sons out of nine children, but she had no idea of making a pugilist out of him. "Jack was a slim-built youngster till he was about 15 or 16 years of age; he is now 31." she said, "and he was a regular baby and always getting into trouble at school and with playmates, and always got the worst of it. His sister had to fight all his battles, and she was always growing tired of this. One day when he was about 14 years of age a small boy whipped him and he came home crying. I gave him another spanking and told him he would have to learn to fight his own battles, and every time he got licked I would give him another licking when he came home. He was never whipped after that, and he licked every boy, big or little, that tackled him." Johnson bought a home for his mother in Galveston and own property over the state, and is investing his earnings. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES It is stated that the Negro people have 30,000 teachers, 16,000 preachers, 1,700 physicians, 1,000 lawyers, 400 journalists and literary men. The state of Tennessee has granted a charter to the Pythian Bank and Trust Company, of Shelby County. The capital stock is $25,000 and the headquarters will be in Memphis. Miss Eva Ross of Washington, D.C., has opened a drug store in that city; is thoroughly complete and up to date in every appointment. Miss Ross was formerly a Kindergarten teacher, but gave up the work to enter this business. The Nickel Savings Bank, located at Richmond, Virginia, made a statement of its financial condition at the close of business, November 27. 1908, to the State Corporation Commission, showing its total resources to be $29,954 55 R. F Tanoil is the president. Elbert Williams, chief musician of the regimental band of the 25th Infantry, United States Army, is the composer of the well known Y M C. A. hymn entitled "Let Not Your Heart be Troubled." Mr. Williams was formerly head of the noted military band at Tuskegee Institute. W. H Huff, of Athens. Ga., has placed on the market a "talking" piece of music entitled "Cheer Up Booker Washington," and it is being played and sung in many homes in Southland. We cannot get too much of melodies and sentiments that help us to cheer up the men who are leading in the work of racial uplift. Sarah-Cole, who died recently at 1518 Turner street, northeast, Washington, D. C., at the age of 101 years, was a sister of Joseph Boston, one of the first Presidents of the Republic of Liberia. She was born and lived the first half century of her life in Anne Arundel county, Md., and moved to Washington in 1861, living in the District ever since. Architect W. Sidney Pittman has been paid $2,000 as his fee for drawing the plans for the $95,000 public school building at Garfield. The structure is to contain twelve rooms and is to be one of the finest in the District of Columbia. The award is another feather in the cap of Mr. Pittman, who won out in a solid field of Caucasian draftsmen. Edwin C. Eckel, of Washington, D. C., speaking on "The Iron Industry of the South" before the Consevation Commission, on December 8. said that "In spite of the racial defects inherent in his undeveloped character, the Negro makes the best laboring material the South can get in mines and furnaces." It is the belabored Southern praise of the Negro: With all his faults I love him still. Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 10. Three wealthy Negroes were arrested here to-day for violation for the Jim Crow street law. Their arrest was followed by a mass meeting of colored citizens, who declared they will carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, if necessary, to prove the law as applied to street cars is unconstitutional. The traction company here ordered the arrests. Harvey Groves, of Manitou Colorado, is known "as one of the largest and most successful live stock dealers in that section," while his brother, Spencer Groves, is called "one of the best freight and emergency firemen on the Midland Railroad." We would remind these gentlemen of their cousin across the line in Kansas, the Black White Potato King, another of the Groves of prosperity. The story of J. H. Blodgett, a prominent member of the National Negro Business League from Jacksonville, who in a dozen years has risen from a steamboat stowaway to a real estate magnate, owning 155 houses in his home city, and a daily rental of $4500, transacting his business by way of a $2,500 motor car, reads like a ro- NO.16 mance. And still they say the days of romance and gold mines are past. When the Odd Fellows' Lodge of Millsap, Texas, recently picked the entire crop of a brother named Condill, owing to illness of his wife and her inability to help him, it was said that the back-breaking business had been transferred from the lodge room to the cotton field. It is far more interesting to us to note how the fraternal societies are changing methods for the better in giving the distressed brother a boost. Hearing with enthusiasm of the rapid progress of the Negroes of Washington in acquiring a $100,000 home, the enterprising colored men of Cleveland are determined to have a structure worthy of the importance and uplifting influence of the buding organization in their town. As Commissioner McFarland well said: "The efforts of the colored men in Washington do not stop with the capital; they serve as a stimulus toward similar achievements in every section of the land"—and they certainly do. Let the good work go on! Someboby said that we are a pitiful helpless race here in America, where we belong, unused it seems, to arts of peace, and only made breastworks in the war. Without guns, without ammunition laughing, grining, enjoying ourselves (the only race that plays that game), living over a volcano. Thoughtless of the future, but only of a dead future. Working like slaves, spending with those who would kill us, and condeming each other when we should strive to build up. But we must not lose heart. Some day the Negro will stand erect on all the sober problems of civilization; it will be when he can speak. NEGRO BOXERS MORE SKILLFUL THAN WHITES NEGRO BOXERS MORE SKILLFUL THAN WHITES Speaking of the superiority of Negro boxers the Rocky Mountain News says in part: The fact of Jack Johnson defeating Tommy Burns for the heavyweight championship and being the first black man to ever win that honor or even have a chance to compete for it, has directed great attention for the present to the colored pugilists. Every student of boxing must have noticed that the leading Negro fighters are more skillful as boxers then the leading fighters of the white race, and it may need considerable investigation to explain just why this is the case. Now it would be, interesting to discover just why the colored boxers should lead at the point which requires brainwork and study, as well as constant thought and practice. One man who has seen all the leading boxers and fighters of the present and past generation is satisfied in his mind that the reason for the black man's superiority in boxing can be found in the singleness of purpose.

WHY WELLS WAS WRATHY. All Things Considered, He Had Some Esato for Anger, Charles E. Wells, who has been called the groundhog senator of West Virginia, because he once introduced & bill advocating the changing of groundhog day from February 2 to July 4; was staying over night at the Grand hotel of a budding West Vir- Ginia village not long ago. He was awakened in the morning by heavy potinding on his door, and the voice of the old man night clerk say- ing “Five o'clock! Better get up or you'll miss your train,” Mr. Wells didn’t intend to catch a morning train and hadn't given any Instructions that he should be called at the unearthly hour of five o'clock, s0 he paid no attention to the old man's early morning greeting and was Ssleep again almost immediately. Mn about 15 minutes he was again awakened by the pounding on his door and heard the voice of the old man saying apologetically: “Don't get up. I rapped on the wrong door.”—Lippin: cott’s, : Royalty on Exhibition. In the eighteenth century the Lon- @oner could look at royalty on Sun- day for a modést fee. In a guide to London, published in 1767, it was sald: “At St. James’ chapel royal by knock ing at the side door and slipping a shilling for each person into the hand of the verger who opens it, you may have admittance and stand during di- vine service in presence of their majesties; and for one shilling each person more, you may sit in their roy- al presence, not in pews, but in turn up seats on the side of them.” THEN AND NOW Complete Recovery from Coffee Ills. “About nine years ago my daughter, from coffee drinking, was on the verge of nervous prostration,” writes a Louis- ville lady. “She was confined for tb- most part to her home. “When she attempted a trip down town she was often brought home in a ab and would be prostrated for days afterwards. “On the advice of her physician she gave up coffee and tea, drank Postum, and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast. “She liked Postum from the very beginning and we soon saw improve- ment.

Denver.—The week of January 18th- 23rd, the date of the National Stock Show, will be crowded with farmers’ events and preparations are being made to entertain about 20,000 outside people during the week, many of whom will come from out of the state. Entries for the big show are coming in rapidly and the management an- nounces that it will be the greatest show ever held west of Chicago both as to quantity and quality of stock on exhibition, ‘There will be over 400 pure bred cattle, about 250 horses, nearly 300 sheep and hogs to say noth- ing of the carload lots of cattle, sheep and hogs. It is expected that there will be over 5,000 feeder cattle on ex- hibition and sale. Among the other events planned for the week is the annual convention of the Colorado Cattle & Horse Growers’ Association, the Colorado Siate Grange, the Colorado State Horticul: tural Society and the Colorado Grain and Seed Growers’ Association, The ‘railroads have made a one-fare rate from points in the state and this will help to bring in a big crowd. The preparations for the ble show are about completed and with the magnifi- cent new pavilion that has just been completed at a cost of $200,000 the show will be put on in a style never before seen in the west outside of Chicago. While the National Steck Show is designed primarily to provide educa- tion for the live stock interests and to build up that industry, it Js likely to prove a new amusement ‘fad that will attract all classes of people. The management of the show, however, will feel that their efforts haye been in vain if the farmers and stockmen of the west are not there in force. The big show is in no sense an enter- prise for profit, ‘The Denver Union Stock Yards Company is xuarantecing the expenses and will take whatever gate receipts there may be, but there is no idea that the show will be self- supporting for several years at least. ‘The big Chicago International cost the stock yards people over $50,000 be- fore it began to pay for itself. The profit the stock yards people are look- ing for is the up-building of the live stock and packing interests of the west. A'few weeks ago Hon. James J. Hill, the big railroad magnate and one of the greatest builders of the age, in an interview made the statement that in his opinion the United States would have a population of 200,000,000 in 1950, ‘This means that the problem of supplying food to our own people is to be the problem of the future. The big live stock interests also see this and they are turning their eyes to the West as the section that must be the hope of the future. The rapid increase of land values in the Hast has made the cost of growing cattle so much higher that gradually the volume of production is decreas- ing. The West with its millions of acres of lands that can never be util ized for anything but grass, offers the only chance to not only keep up the meat supply but to inerease it and the object of the National Stock Show at Denver is to encourage the industry, put the stockmen and farmers in the way of producing the best upon profita blo lines. One of the strong features of the coming show will be the business end. ‘The great national record associations of the important beef breeds of cattle are arranging for public sales of pure bred stock In which will be offered a imited number of selected individuals from the best herds in the country. ‘These animals are sold for what they will bring, the object being to get some of the best blood placed through the West where it will do the most good. ‘There will also be sales of the finest breeding horses, the best breed- ing sheep to be found and the best breeding hogs. The western range stockmen are coming to the show with train loads of cattle, sheep and hogs of their best production, which will be exhibited and sold and they will be in position to buy good breeding stock to take home with them. Every farmer in the West is inter- ested in this event becanse of the fact that successful agriculture must be based upon stock growing, In order to show the farmers what can be used to feed stock a department of feed and forage products has been established and there will be shown the various grasses, grain and forage that can be successfully grown in various loeall- ties of the west with which to success- fully grow and feed live stock. This feature is under the management of Prof. W. H. Olin and Prof. F. Knorr of the Agricultural College and a big exhibit is promised, PHONE MAIN 3725 : Q. J. GILMORE, F, D.

RESIDENT'S COMMUNICATION IN | REGARD TO SECRET SER- | VICE OPENLY DERIDED. | SBN | aetna MESSAGE’ FINALLY REFERRED TO PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED SPECIAL COMMITTEE. |. Washington—Another message from the President was laughed at in the house today. Some of the members were openly ferisive as the communication on the secret service was read, and as a crowning snub Representative Griggs of Georgia moved as an amendment that the message be returned to the President. ‘The message, which had been awalt- ed with much interest, was a reply to the house's resolution calling on the executive to explain the intimation ‘a tis annual message that members of Congress were afraid to be investigat- ad by the secret service. The galleries were packed. ‘ | Promptly at noon Latta, one of the President's secretaries, was at the main door of the chamber bearing the message which was read as soon as the Italian relief measure was put through. The President's specific reference to certain speeches by Tawney, Minneso- ta; Smith, Iowa; Sherley, Kentucky, and Fitzgerald, New York, when the provision for the restriction of the op- erations of the secret service was up tor discussion and also to Busby, the wpeaker's private secretary, caused a storm of laughter. The speaker sev- ral times vigorously rapped for order. In commenting on the President's ference to him tn the message, Busby tald: “[ am an employe of the House of Representatives. It would not be ap- vropriate for me in any way to make ‘ny comment on the matter now before the house. I will say, however, that the article quoting the Chicago Inter- ‘deean in the President's message, was prepared in the regular course of work as a newspaper correspondent when I was the representative ot the Inter- Ocean. “It was one of a series of feature stor'es written in the summer and early fall of 1903 subject to the edtor’s discretion as to when it should be pub- Hshed. It was published five years ago. “No member of Congress inspired it, nor was any member of Congress con- sulted about it. No opinion of any member was embodied in it, and no one is in the slightest degree respons- ible for it except the editor of the Inter-Ocean and myself. I doubt if a dozen members of Congress ever saw the article or heard of it until today.” As the reading of the message pro- ceeded many of the membcrs chuck- led, others laughed outright’ while some were prone to joke with their neighbors, When the reading ended Perkins of New York, chairman ‘of the special committee which originally considered the matter, moved that the message be referred to that committee. “Is an amendment in order to that motion?” inquired Griggs of Georgia in a deliberate voice. “It is,” replied the speaker. “Then,” sald Griggs, “I move that this message be returned to the Presi- dent.” “Oh, no,” shouted several of Griggs’ Democratic colleagues. Perkins insisted that the message should go to the special committee and in the meantime Griggs withdrew his motion, saying he took that action at the request of his party leaders. The message was referred as he requested. Oll Case Goes Back to Landis. Washington.—The $29,000,000 fine case of the Standard Oil Company will not be reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States. ‘The decision of the court to this effect was announced by Chief Justice Fuller soon after the court convened Monday. The case came to the court on a petition for a writ of certiorari to order up the ree- ord in the case for a review of the de- cision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh cir- cuit by which Judge Landis’ original decision imposing a fine of $29,000,000 against the Standard Oil Company for ‘accepting rebates from the railway companies was reversed.

[Ee ARRESTED FOR CHIEF CLERK IN DENVER SPECIAL DELIVERY DEPARTMENT CON- FESSES CRIME. RESULT OF FAST LIVING ARREST SOLVES MYSTERY OF CONTINUED DISAPPEARANCE OF VALUABLES. Denver.—Confronted with positive evidence that he had stolen from the mails at the Denver postoffice, a spe- clal delivery letter containing $19, Howeil Snowden, for four and a haif years chief clerk of the special deliv- ery department, and in every respect a trusted employe, broke down and confessed to Chief Postoffice Inspector Cockran thay he had stolen scores of letters in a similar manner within the past year, and had obtained hundreds of dollars from them. Snowden lives at 620 Nineteenth street and is single, He has been con- nected with the Denver postoffice for six years, His friends say that his downfall is due to infatuation for women. Following his confession he was im- mediately taken before United States Commissioner- Hinsdale, where he was formally charged with the theft of the letter and held under $2,000 bond. He was finable to furnish the bond and was taken to the county jail. ‘The arrest of Snowden furnishes a solution to a mystery that has worried postoffice officials in Denver and many other cities for months. Reports from all parts of the country have frequent- ly been received of the loss of special delivery letters sent either to or from the Denver office and an investigation has been going on for nearly a year to discover the thief. The complaints began when E, L. McKee was inspector in charge, and when he was given a position in the field « month ago, he, with Inspector H. G, Durand, was assigned to the case. They soon became convinced that the letters were being taken in the special delivery department of the Denver office, but the problem of dis- covering the thief seemed impossible of solution. ‘The good record made by Snowden in the vervice made them slow in at- taching suspicion to him, but cireum- stances scon led them to watch his movements. Several times _ they thought they had discovered proof of his guilt, but it was not until Thurs- day that they were able to fasten his guilt upon him. Concealed in the of- fice they saw him take a “»tter from the special delivery package and hide it. Deputy United States Marshal Chad- wick was also stationed in the office and placed Snowden under arrest. Royal Relief Donation. ~ Rome.—In addition. to his former do- nations, besides putting the royal pal: aces at the disposai of the injured refu- gees, the King has given $200,000 to the rellef fund, ddnating halt of this amount to the Red Cross Society and half to the national relief committce instituted by himself. The rescuers during the first week accomplished prodigies of endurance. ‘They saved 12,000 people, some wounded and oth- ers injured from the riins. All the tens of thousands of survivors have been moved away. Women Freed by Jury. Media, Pa.—Mrs, M. Florence Erb, wife of Capt. J. Clayton Erb, who was well known in political circles all over Pennsylvania, and her sister, Mrs. Catherine Beisel, who were charged with the sensational murder of Capt.

After the jury bad been out nearly eighteen hours it brought in a verdict of not guilty in the case of each woman, both of whom had been charged separately and jointly with shooting the captain, Monav for Antalone:’ Denver.—State Game Commissioner Farr has received a letter, enclosing a check for $50 from President William Dutcher of the National Association of Audubon Societies, tendering that amount to assist in feeding the starv- ing antelope in Colorado.

Union City, Tenn.—With a verdict of guilty the jury in the night riders’ trials reported at 8:45 Thursday night.

Preston Kendall, the actor, tells a story of a ne‘er-do-well in a little New England town, where he has often spent his summers. “I was walking down the main street one day,” said Kendall, “when 1 saw old Silas grin- ning from ear to ear. I hardly thought that he was that glad to see me. So, after speaking to him, I said: ‘Why the smile that won't come off, Silas? What has happened to make you so happy this morning?’ ‘I've been a-git- tin’ married this morning,’ was the un- expected reply. ‘Married! You? If exclaimed. ‘Why, Silas, what on earth have you done that for? You know you can't even support yourself as it fs." ‘Wall,’ said Silas, ‘you see, it's this way: I ken purty near support myself, an’ I kind of figured out that she could finish up the job." LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION The increased use of “Toris” for Jame back and rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity, . It is an almost in- fallible cure when mixed with cer. tain other ingredients and taken prop- erly. The following formula is eifec- tive: “To one-half pint of good whiskey add one cunce of Toris Com- pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa- rilla Compound, Take in tablespoon- ful doses before each meal and_be- fore retiring.” Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu- tical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had trom any good druggist. Harmony. ‘We must have harmony,” said the leaders of the party. “We quite agree,” interposed-a mem- ber of the minority, “Indeed, there has been nothing in the way of com- plete harmony all along save the at- titude of a stupid, truculent and asi- nine majority.” There was interruption at the point, Still, the purpose of the meeting was not wholly defeated, the police acting as a harmonizing agency.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. Paris Models THE WORLD'S FASHION Lilac cloth is the material of the left-hand costume. The corsage forms a sort of bolero, fashioned on one side with embroidered black satin buttons. The collar, revers and cuffs are trimmed with black satin. The chemisette is of tucked tulle, with plaited frill of the same ornamented with gold buttons. Plaitings of this tulle finish the long, tight sleeves at the wrists. At the back is a girdle of the material. The half-empire skirt is made with breadths or bands, crossed in front simulating a tunic and uniting in the back. The other costume is a pastel gray wool dotted with black and having a border of black and white checks, which forms the trimming on the corsage and bottom of tue skirt. The fitted corsage simulates a bolero, and is trimmed besides the border with bands of the material and little buttons, with simulated button holes of black liberty. The straps which form the girdle are also of black liberty. The little guimpes are tucked tulle, the collar and cuffs are composed of lace ruffles and green liberty ribbon. The skirt is made and trimmed to correspond and is finished at the bottom with the checked border and a band of black liberty. ANOTHER NOVELTY IN SCARFS. Fluffy Accessories Are Just Now High in Favor. THE MATTER OF VEILS. Detail of the Costume That Is of Impense Importance. It seems as though there will never be an end to the novelties in scarfs and motor veils that are being introduced almost every day, all of which goes to prove that soft, delicately colored scarfs and wide chiffon and net motor veils, if anything, increase in popularity with each successive week. Most attractive are the newest chiffon scarfs and extremely easy are they of home manufacture, always a consideration for the woman who would be accorded the title of well dressed on an income distressingly small. Formed of chiffon or heavy net, the ends of the scarf are caught, or, more strictly speaking, gathered in and finished off with a short tassel or fringe of coarse sewing silk. The scarf may also be gathered in slightly in the center and a tassel attached at one end, so that when thrown over the shoulders the scarf makes an attractive bit of drapery on the back of the dress, as well as adding to the charm of the front of the gown. In the soft shades of pink, blue, mauve, green and, in fact, in all the light pastel colorings, these scarfs are exquisitely pretty, and they are perhaps especially charming made up in the shaded chiffons which are now to be had designed especially for veiling for the large motor hats now in vogue. An old scarf of crepe de chine or chiffon can be quite rejuvenated by a bath in naphtha or a thorough washing in luke warm water and ivory soapsuds, and then after being carefully pressed out embellished by the addition of silk tassels at the ends and in the center. SIMPLE AND CORRECT. Simple hat of gray ottoman silk, lined with black; galon of gray and blue embroidery. A Fine Hair Shampoo. First, boil a pint of water. Add to this a third of a cake of pure white soap, shaved fine. Boll this until the soap is melted. Pour this mixture into a far before it thickens and let it cool. To shampoo the hair put a couple of tablespoonfuls of this paste into warm water and when it is dissolved apply to the hair and rub it into the scalp several times. Then rinse the hair well in clear, warm water. To Sew in Sleeves. When sewing sleeves in a garment, instead of gathering them first, baste the underarm part to the garment where there is to be no fullness, then gather top of sleeve and draw shirr thread so as to fit into armhole. By so doing the difficulty of getting the exact fullness in the right place is avoided. THE MATTER OF VEILS. Detail of the Costume That Is of immense importance. Nothing can more easily make or mar one's appearance than a veil. If it is put on in wrinkles, it conveys immediately the impression of a wrinkled skin, and adds years to the fair face. If a woman has a naturally heavy jaw, she must resist the temptation of the border veils, and the man —it could never have been a woman—who invented green veils ought to be imprisoned. Brown veils are universally becoming $_{\mathbf{g}}$ and the veritable avalanches of lace that now fall from the fashionable hats can be manipulated by clever fingers into any effect whatever! The safest of all is the clear mesh with moderately large chenille spots. To fix it to the hat, always pin it in front first to the brim, then pin the two top edges together at the back of the crown. The ends are then gathered into a knot, so that the lace lies quite smoothly across the face. The greatest care should be taken with the back of the veil, which must meet as nearly as possible over the back of the hair, and do not let the lower edge fall below the chin. Twisting it into a knot under the chin is abominable. When the veil is removed from the hat it should be rolled over a cardboard roll easily made for the purpose. An invariable law should be that the veil must match either the hat or the trimming. The old rose and the deep red shades in veiling give an attractive glow to pale cheeks. Gold and Brown. One of the combinations coming into first style for indoor gowns is bronze satin. It is used for an empire skirt that reaches to the bust, and above this is a bodice of bronze sequins mixed with gold thread, run on brown net. The bodice is made in the usual way out of bands going around the figure and over the arms. The only touch of any other color is a bit of white tulle at the neck and sleeves. This combination is adopted for elaborate low-necked frocks worn for special occasions. As a rule brown is not considered among the evening colors, but this coppery bronze tone shows off the heavy bullion trimming in an effective manner, and lights up well under the electrics. A Practical Blouse A smart and practical blouse of dark red nun's veiling, seen in a shop recently, was laid entirely in tucks from armhole to armhole and closed down the front under a narrow box plait. The sleeves fitted the arms smoothly to the wrists and were tucked their entire length, graduating in size, the widest coming at the top. Ruffles of black chiffon trimmed the wrists and a high collar of dark red satin folded, edged with a ruff of black chiffon, lined with white, finished the neck. A narrow cavat tied in a bow in the front, the ends weighted with gold tassels, completed a stylish waist. Prevent Raveling.

Also Must Be Put Into Water Exactly at Proper Temperature—Suggestions for Preparation of Dishes. In order to make macaroni at all palatable it should always be put into water that is boiling "on the jump" and highly seasoned. Otherwise it will develop into a tasteless mass of soggy dough. Another mistake that many cooks are apt to make is not cook- water that is boiling "on the jump" and highly seasoned. Otherwise it will develop into a tasteless mass of soggy dough. Another mistake that many cooks are apt to make is not cooking macaroni long enough. Many authorities will tell you that 20 minutes is long enough, but an hour is far better. Here are a few suggestions for macaroni dishes, so acceptable at this season of the year: Italian macaroni—Boil enough macaroni for the family for about an hour, and when cooked drain it off into another saucepan and pour over it half a cup of melted butter. In another saucepan stew a can of tomatoes until done, strain through a fine sieve and thicken with a tablespoon of browned butter and flour. Season with salt and red pepper to taste. Put the macaroni in a deep dish and pour the thickened tomatoes over it, then cover the top of the dish with grated cheese, serve at once. Macaroni with cheese—Break into short lengths macaroni enough to fill a large coffee cup and dash into pot of boiling water which is well salted. Cook until tender and stir often at first to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pot. When cooked, drain off all the liquor, put the macaroni into a porcelain kettle and add one cup of either beef or chicken stock and one cup of tomatoes which have been rubbed through a colander. Let this simmer for 20 minutes, or until the liquor is well absorbed. Add to it half a cup of grated cheese, one tablespoon of butter, salt and red pepper to taste and serve hot. Macaroni croquettes—This is a good way of using up left-over macaroni: Take about two cups of the cooked macaroni and chop it quite fine, and if it is not soft enough add a little white sauce to it. Heat it in a saucepan over a slow fire, season highly with salt and red pepper and add a little grated cheese to it. Take out and shape into long croquettes, roll them first in bread crumbs—not cracker dust—then in the beaten yolk of an egg, then in the bread crumbs once more. Let them dry for a few moments and fry in deep fat. Serve on a platter with drawn butter and sprinkle powdered cheese over it. Parmesan cheese is best, but English cheese will answer the purpose. Apricot Pudding. Put one pound of stewed apricots in pudding pan, using juice for sauce. Sift well one-half teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder with two cupfuls of flour. Rub in one-fourth of a cupful of butter; beat one egg lightly and add three-fourths of a cupful of sweet milk and stir into flour, using more milk if necessary to make batter soft enough to spread over apricots. Bake one-half hour in hot oven and serve with sauce, made as follows: Melt one tablespoonful of butter and mix with one tablespoonful of flour; add one-half cupful of sugar and the juice from apricots. Cook five minutes. Norwegian Prune Pudding One-half pound prunes, two cups cold water, one cup sugar, one inch piece stick cinnamon, one-half cup boiling water, one-half cup cornstarch, one tablespoon lemon juice. Pick over and wash prunes, then soak one hour in cold water, and boil until soft; remove stones, obtain meat from stones and add to prunes. Then add sugar, cinnamon, boiling water, and simmer ten minutes. Dilute cornstarch with enough cold water to pour easily, add to prune mixture and cook five minutes. Remove cinnamon, mold, then chill, and serve with cream. German Baked Beans Soak one quart of navy beans overnight; in the morning clease thoroughly. Put beans in kettle with one quart of tomatoes; cut up one good sized onion and about one-half pound of bacon in small pieces, add sufficient water, and boil until pretty near done. Then place beans in pan with pieces of bacon on top and administer sugar and flour on surface and put in oven and bake until nice and brown. After-Dinner Cheese. A new way of preparing an afterdinner cheese will be found worth trying. Put a cupful of grated American cheese into a basin, add two-thirds of a cup of finely chopped salted almonds, one tablespoonful of brandy and a pinch of salt and cayenne. Mix well, press into a small mold until needed, turn out and pass salted wafers with it. Sweet Potato Salad Take six large sweet potatoes, peel and boil until thoroughly cooked. When cold slice and add one large onion, one stalk celery, and one large green pepper. Pour mayonnaise over all and garnish with parsley. Potato Mucilage A good mucilage can be made from potato peelings; put as many peelings as desired in kettle, cover with water, boil one hour; strain, then add one-half teaspoonful of alum; this will keep indefinitely.
