Magn of this Great Columbus, Ohio, Ang. 24. What is called the finest meeting in the history of Negro Pythianism and what was certainly the finest demonstration this city ever saw, closed here Saturday midnight, after much legislation, and after the Supreme Lodges, acting upon the recommendation of the committee of the whole, had revoked the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, and found John Mitchell, Jr., guilty of rebellion. While the session was not a stormy one, it was one of great interest, and often the discussions were animated. One of the memorable scenes was enacted when John Mitchell, Jr., received as a friend, after the Supreme Lodge had recovered its symbols, was invited to state his side of the celebrated controversy. The Supreme Lodge listened to him with respect, and then decided that he was wrong and that Supreme Chancellor Green was right. The findings of the Supreme Lodge does not, however change the status of the litigation now pending in the District of Columbia courts. 5000 PYTHIAN SOLDIERS IN CAMP The encampment proper tented more than 5,000 Pythian soldiers, and it is estimated that 15,000 visitors went out to see them. Gov. Willis, who made a hit on the opening night in his welcome address, delivered before a great multitude, reviewed the soldiers, and said that the day was an inspiration to him. The daily press of the city declared that the parade was the grandest sight that this city of parades ever saw. Led by Gen. R. R. Jackson, his staff, and the famous 8th regiment band of Chicago, the parade was witnessed by 100,000 people. The entire city, including the banks, city hall, state hours, and the white hotels and big department stores, were decorated. The report of S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, was the most detailed paper that ever came before the supreme body; the report of Dr. E. E. Underwood, supreme keeper of records and seal, was entirely satisfactory. Jos. L. Jones, supreme chancellor, and by virtue of that office supreme worthy councillor of the Courts of Calanthe, showed in his address that more than $20,000 had passed through his office since the last meeting, ```markdown ``` --- and that through a systematic campaign 15,000 new members had been added to the rolls. The supreme court unanimously asked for his retention, and with Pythian gallantry the supreme lodge granted the request. Supreme Chancellor Green Re-elected Receiving the endorsement of every State in the jurisdiction, Supreme Chancellor Green was retured to his station by acclamation All the officers, except the Pythian Commission, were elected by unanimous vote. Dr. U. G. Mason of Birmingham might have been elected supreme medical register, but he declined in favor of Dr. J. H Ward, the present incumbent. The supreme lodge refused to order new tax to build a national temple in Chicago, although the representatives voted to continue the supreme lodge tax of ten cents, this being necessary for the operation of the Supreme Lodge. The supreme attorney, S. A. T Watkins, brought forth cheers when he reported that all lawsuits begun by white Pythians to deprive colored Pythians of their name and symbols, had been ended months ago on motion of the parties beginning the suits. The exercises on the opening night were marked not only by a great audience, but also by the happy remarks of Mayor Karb, who came 500 miles to welcome the knights, the eloquent address made by Gov. Frank Willis, who said that Ohio would never be Mississippiized or Alabamaized but would remain free ground for all races, and the response by prominent visitors, particularly by the able address delivered by Wilford H Smith of New York in response to the mayor. In the Virginia matter, and in many others, Mr. Smith led the administration forces During the last two years, aside from $25,000 that passed through the office of the supreme chancellor for lodges under his jurisdiction, the grand domains handled $500,000 in endowment funds, according to verified reports. There are now 250,000 Negro Pythians and 87,000 members of the Courts of Calanthe. Roscoe C. Simmons was given a purse.

WILLIAMS. DEATH OF MRS. HATTIE V. WILLIAMS. We have never been called upon to chronicle the death of an individual whose loss to the community has been more keenly felt and regretted than that of Mrs. Harriet Virginia Williams, who departed this life at her late residence, 2227 Arapahoe street Sunday evening, Aguust 29, 1915 at 6 e'clock at the age of 76 years, 5 months and 7 days. Deceased was born in Washington, D. C., March 22, 1839; was reared a Catholic and remained as such until her marriage to Irving Williams November 28, 1855. At this time she was happily converted and became protestant. Soon after her arrival in Denver in 1861 she became a member of Shorter A. M. E. church, in which her usefulness and activity can never be estimated and her loss can never be fulfilled. She loved her church and her heart's delight was to promote the cause of Christianity and no task was too difficult, no obstacle unsurmountable. Times too numerous to mention her home has been opened to the public for church and charitable purposes. Although afflicted for many years and denied the pleasure of occupying her former place in the pew, she never ceased to act and think for the advancement of her church. Possessing a highly musical temperment and appreciating the best in music, the desire of her heart was to see a pipe organ in her church and the rendition of music surpassed by none. The first pipe organ installed in Shorter A. M. E. church, was the result of her undaunted courage and energy. On several occasions when an urgent financial demand was made, Mrs. Williams was sought and consulted. The difficulty was quickly solved and a plan proposed in which the demand was met. Her gifts of handwork to the church often netted large sums. She was a woman of culture and refinement; unassuming, courteous and kind; always generous to a fault. A lovable wife and the devoted mother of nine children two of whom survive—Edgar a son and Mrs. Minnie Hayes. Funeral services were held last Thursday afternoon from Shorter church, Rev. Pope officiated with the Douglass Undertaking Co., in charge. The many beautiful floral offerings were a token of the esteem in which deceased was held. In paying tribute to this pioneer we cannot find words to fittingly eulogize her worth as a citizen. The Colorado Statesman joins with the general public in offering heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones. Colored Citizens' League. That the influence of this organization is being felt and a recognition of its power for good in the community given it from ev- ery quarter of the city and state stands out as an established fact, there is every reason for its members to congratulate themselves on their success up to the present, the strength and reinforcement their ranks have achieved, and that solidarity of action which is the chief agent of perpetuating its name and motive. In other articles prior to this we have given the public the purport of the organization and bringing from time to time before them the measures adopted for guidance in its principles, etc., we take pleasure in welcoming all members of our race to cast their lot with us, becoming part and parcel, thereby creating an efficient whole which will intelligently combat with the numerous assaults and attacks heaped upon our legal rights and for which we get so little redress. In the rise of nations and the progress of races in the history of the world it is an indisputable fact that their achievement was the result of continuous agitation against the things that would throttle their civilization returning them to the centuries long dead, and with a determination unsurpassed they united their forces bending with one effort to accomplish their objective. This precedent has lent such an inspiration to the generations coming after that even though slowly, it is discernible that our race, tiring of this long period of serfdom has resolved to wake up and champion their cause to a successful issue by getting together in thought, word and action, breaking down the barriers of oppression that now obstruct our progressive pathway and destroying the powers that not only dominate us from color prejudice and wealth, but submit us to the most inhuman barbarous and insulting roles that can be unjustly meted out to any people. The Colored Citizens' League has dawned upon the scene in time to encourage, to construct and support any cause or causes that will remove or erase the wrong impressions from our fellow Americans, and once more in appealing to our people urge the necessity of giving conditions that surround us the deepest study preparing ourselves to shoulder our burden, fighting manfully under the banner of freedom with its insignia—"Independence for all Serfdom for none." The COLORADO STATESMAN takes pride in endorsing this organization and wishes it every success. Entire Plant on Wheels.

"Efficiency along all lines" was given as the slogan of the organization, which is "trying to secure the supremacy of law and order over moboeracy and to remove this dark blot on American civilization."

The merchant, in his anxiety to please his patrons and customers, is starting with the latest and most stylish forms of window decoration, lending a fascination to the passer-by that is itresistible; the holiday pleasure-seeker, after having filled his and her cup to the brim, begins to mourn over the shortness of the summer season, Wishing it had just begun; the scholar, in the eagerness to meet fellow-pupils to resume their friendly scholastic competition, reminds home of the reopening of school by hunting in the closets and on the shelves for books that were laid to rest from the beginning of vacation; the house- keeper, with the usual systematic cleaning, preparing for fall functions and milady’s series of entertainments, is getting busy—all these characters in their different orders forcibly impress us with respect and obedience to duty and service for the improvement of ourselves and the benefit to society. We feel it not a task, but a pleasure to encourage and cheer our subscribers, the members of the community, the public In general in their efforts to start out with renewed vigor and energy, imbued with the thought of the optimist that SUCCESS is our standard and its goal must be reached during the autumnal session of the current year.

DREAMS THAT FADE. The despair which a black man of intelligence realizes when the dreams of youth begin to fade before the realities of manhood might be made the basis of a great tragedy if the world had ear for such a work, but here in America, at least, the experience is so universally common that it takes its place among the other ordinary affairs of life and passes into forgetfulness 48 so much worthless and unrecorded history. Doubtless every boy or girl, at the zenith of school days, is stirred by some deep desire, thought or ambi- tion to become of use to the world in some sphere which will admit of activity along the lines of his or her capabilities, and which, if it does not bring great honor, will afford reasonable success and a degree of personal satisfaction, The white boy, if he applies himself diligently and works hard, may see his early hopes develop into tangible realities, and with persistence, into absolute ceriainties, which often expand far beyond the limitations of his early imagination, or, under the direction of experienced ones about him, drive far from him, at least, all the elements of failure or of aimless living. + But the brighter the mind of the black boy, the sooner he learns that he has come into a world which is to tantalize him with dreams of unattainable things. He may feel all the aspirations that the white boy fee's, but he must learn that his course lies along a different path. Goaded by the realization that he is one of a lowly race, he may aspire to herculanean tasks which carry the hope that through him, perhaps, his people may be delivered from some portion of the burden which an incomprehensible fate has fastened upon it; but as the years come on he will see that his mightiest efforts bring him no nearer to the goal of his early desires. Gradually the fact dawns upon him that his world is not the world that he first saw, not the world of other folks, but one with limitations marked by walls of racial separation, Yet straight ahead of him in his limited world the horizon is just as distant as the horizon of the white boy’s world, although the pathway ahead is un- beaten—and to that distant point, over that unbeaten path, he turns his hope, and on this new hope his life is centered. ‘True, that many lose faith at the awakening, but just as true the fact that black men, as a race, pass through this crucial test safely, and with hope born of faith in the righteousness of Sines Devon ‘human werahay:alodson®:tiward tie scinine. aid: SXOXLOXOXLOLSOLOXLSOLOLOLOLOLOLOXSLOLSLOLOXLSXLOXLoxXoLoxoxrer REV.

Both pastor, con- gregation and visitors are to be com: mended for their excellent achieve: ments. Gays of cisterns, rain barrels, forests, rain lakes and mud streets the rains stayed a while where they fell. With modern drainage, sewers and no forests, a heavy rain is soon on its way downstream. At the head of most streams are lakes, and along the rivers are low- lands which, at small expense for embankments and water gates, could be made to store several feet of flood water for a week or two without damaging the shores. I know of one place on the Mississippi where a roadway was built across a marsh dividing a town. Every spring the river backed through a culvert under this road and made a lake one mile wide, three miles long and about ten feet deep. A temporary water gate could easily have held this water for typ weeks and prevented damage without interfering with the regular use of the marsh, ‘dy sgt we, pire Since many efforts are being made to increase farm lands by destroy- ing forests and draining lakes and marshes the question arises as to a state's responsibility for causing or increasing a flood which damages property elsewhere. If it is practicable for flood waters to be held back temporarily at the source and along the course of a stream there should be a federal law requiring each state to regulate the flow of its flood waters into another state. With such regulation the Mississippi would probably stay in one chan- nel long enough to be charted and again become navigable for steamboats of profitable size. daughters. The points of view are different. It is only when father and mother bring their minds to run in coincident channels with the budding intellects and the awakening inspirations of boys and girls that they estab- lish the finest bonds of sympathy. ‘The tragedy lies in temperamental differences or lack of adaptability, which makes it difficult or impossible for the grown-up to put himself in the place of the child and by so doing to win his confidence as well as keep his respect. Being akin to the spirit of childhood is a native habit with some adult persons. Others force themselves to it. Others again find it beyond con- scious effort, however much they see the need of it. It is a blessed gift to be able to know, to appreciate and to act in unison with the childhood point of view. ‘The sensibilities of children are keen and sharp, but they are so much raw material to be fertilized or sod- dened by environment. Prim parenthood proceeds on austerity, and while that may bring children into maturing youth clear of the pitfalls of the | sceumulating years, it leaves the two of them disjoined in sympathy. they enter college they continue to be tail-enders, and after they pass into business life, it is assumed, must go on as tail-enders.” Being among the last in one’s class tends to become a habit.

And no doubt she has ample experience and obser- vation to back her opinion. But almost any rule falls down if applied too strictly. ‘There are certainly plenty of examples of successful business and professional men who never shone in scholarship at school. Nevertheless, it is good doctrine to urge that mental habits acquired or practiced in school are almost certain to stick to one through life; that the boy who hasn’t pride and energy enough to get his lessons is not likely to be more than a mediocre success in after life.

A pink party was given last night by Mrs. Lulu Bates of 3063 Welton street, in honor of Miss Isabelle Pickens, Greenville, Miss.; Miss Leither Lee of St. Louis; Miss Bettie Thurman of Chicago. The house was profusely decorated with pink carnations, with pink silk ribbons forming beautiful designs, throughout the house. Vocal and instrumental music, together with dancing and cards, was a program that was most highly enjoyed by all present. After the serving of choice refreshments and the voting of Mrs. Bates as an ideal hostess, the guests departed for their respective homes. There are frequent fights at most all gatherings of white people at the different resorts and there is seldom, if ever, any mention made of the same through the press, but the least disturbance at similar gatherings of Ne- groes, some biased individuals are always eager to have Negroes barred from holding picnic at such places. But we are inclined to believe that the managers of such resorts, where Colored people hold entertainments, will pay little or no attention to such protests. Fern Hall, which is now under the management of R. L. Phynix, has just been remodeled and decorated in the latest style. Beautiful lace curtains draped with pink silk ribbons at the windows and heavy velvet curtains at the doors, electric fans, ferns and potted plants. The management will see that the best of order prevails at all entertainments. Lodges, clubs and others who contemplate giving entertainments will do well to call and inspect the hall. The manager will be there from 10 to 11:30 a.m.; 3:30 to 5:30 or after 7:30 in the evenings. THE COLORED CITIZENS' LEAGUE PLACES ITSELF ON RECORD AGAINST THE SHOWING IN DENVER OF "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." An article appeared in the Denver Post of July announcing the probable coming to Denver of "The Birth of a Nation." The Colored Citizens' League took the matter up at its meeting July 31 and of this date mailed a communication to Dr. Sharpley with the article from the Denver Post, asking the mayor not to issue a license for exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation." The communication stated the grounds of protest and named cities and states wherein the play had been prohibited. The communication sent to the mayor was referred to Commissioner of Safety Mr. Nesbit and the Colored Citizens' League received a communication from the office of the commissioner of safety, department of censorship, signed by Mrs. Margaret D. Conway, amusement censor, who invited the Colored Citizens' League to the office for an interview regarding the play. On Friday, August 27, the committee of the Colored Citizens' League met Commissioner of Safety Mr. Nisbet and laid the matter clearly, and, it is thought, impressively, before his honor. The Colored Citizens' League takes the stand that everything should be done long ahead of time to prevent the exhibition of this play so that when the play applies for a license it will not be necessary to help advertise this undesirable show in late protesting agitation.

The congregation was delighted last Sunday by the visit of Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor of the First Baptist church, Muskogee, Oklahoma; who, with Mr. Lewis, a gospel singer of great power, was returning from a series of revival meetings held in Los Angeles. The singing of Bro. Lewis took the congregation by storm, while the ministry of both these able men left an impression which will not soon be forgotten by the congregation. They left for home last Monday morning. Our summer-end fair held last week, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, was from every point of view a great success. Notwithstanding the ugly weather prevailing, each night the friends came and the committees were in order to render the best services. The proceeds from the two evenings was a little in excess of $100. The program rendered Wednesday night by Prof. D. L. Fuller, Mr. George Morrison and Miss Beatrice Thrashley was indeed very entertaining. Mr. Fuller is one of the most remarkable entertainers we have ever met. Skilled in the manipulation of the aeolian harp, he is equally familiar with a number of other instruments in the use of which he is most certainly interesting and entertaining. The congregation is grateful to Miss Thrashley and Mr. Morrison for their contribution to this success. Monday morning the pastor will leave for the National Baptists convention, meeting the following Wednesday in Chicago. After the conference of Baptists is over he expects to visit a number of friends on his return home, which will be near the close of the month. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN Pastor, J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T.

Please observe this feature. The Presbytery of Denver convenes in its fall session on the 21st inst. The People's church begins its four nights of anniversary exercises on that night with prayer and song services.

STANLEY HOTELS FLASHES AND SPARKS. William Hawkins, chaufeur of the Davis' family of Kansas City, Mo., arrived last Monday and is invading the camp of the Crushers, having stolen the heart of one of their soothing creatures. He seems a jolly good fellow and promises to be popular at the resort. The Crushers Sunday evening stunt in honor of Mrs. Williams and Miss Harrington, who were returning to their home in Missouri after a very pleasant stay at Kille Crankie cottage in the park, was pulled off in gala style. Thirteen guests being invited made the affair rank in the realm of superstition, but that was cleared away when the guests started to feast on the good things provided, which was prepared in elegant style by the queen of culinary arts, Miss Viola Whitten, who proved beyond a doubt that St. Louis boasted of characters par excellence in this sphere as well as any other. This being another affair in which the mysterious trio was completely out done, the consensus of opinion among the hotelites is that the Crushers have blanketed their once formidable opponent and sent them to "the dust from whence they sprung." You ought to see the faces of Curtis, Lloyd and our popular Charlie. Serenading party, consisting of Messrs. Antonio Gerardi, Marco Peyrot and Hewetson-Watson, rendered a program during the wee-sma hours of the morning at the palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, owners of the Stanley hotel. After rousing the occupants from slumber by the strains of music discursed vocally and instrumentally, the serenaders departed as stealthily as they entered. Selections from Thanhauser, with songs "Silver Threads Among the Gold" and "Old Folks at Home," were applauded by this well respected couple, whose popularity needs on further comment. COLORED EMPLOYES ATTRACT LARGE AUDIENCE. Thursday, Aug. 26th, will not be easily forgotten by both spectators and performers of the Stanley Casino, Estes Park, as the program rendered by the Darktown Minstrels came in for commendation of the highest and best from a critical and large audience, consisting of guests of the various hotels of the park, as well as villagers. The theater was comfortably filled on the first floor, the gallery having to accommodate quite a number of other persons. This entertainment, gotten up by the colored employés of the hotel, made quite an impression on the proprietor and manager, who expressed themselves freely in praise of the talent displayed and the advertisement given the leading and best hotel of the Estes Park, as well as one of the best of the country. The Rocky Mountain News, one of the largest and most influential newspapers in America, in its publication of Sunday, Aug. 29th, contained the following: "The minstrel show given by the waiters of the hotel was a very amusing affair. Considerable talent was displayed. The show is an annual affair and is greatly enjoyed by the guests and visitors." Lloyd Hall and Willard Childress, in the role of Blivins and Splivins, in their "arrangement for a dance." Curtis Harris and Marshall Coates, with Miss Viola Whitten, in the sketch, "On the road to Stanley Town, Africa." with John Martin, Samuel Smith and Wade Peyton strongly backing up the chorus, carried out their parts very successfully. Special mention must be made of Mr. Harris in his representation of Old Black Joe, his make-up giving such an effect as to bring forth continuous applause from the audience. It must be mentioned that the words of the opening choruses, "Employés of the Stanley Hotel" and "The Darktown Club Is Out ToNight," were composed by Hewetson-Watson of Denver and sung to selections of the opera by Faust. Mr. Hewetson-Watson specially trained and directed the performers, displaying good touch and technique at the piano. Wade Peyton brought down the house in his sermon on "Temperance," and was highly complimented for his original rhymes on the boys of the dining room. Mrs. Lucy Williams and Mr. John J. Richards were responsible for the stage effect and costume of the minstrels, which added materially to the exhibition. The proceeds of the entertainment were distributed among the boys, who in turn gave a donation to the Woman's Club of the Estes Park. The thanks of the employees were offered Manager Lamborn for his help in arranging and advertising for such a large and appreciative audience. who are planning to attend the International Dry Farming Congress and Soil Products Exposition, This Is An Invitation to visit our Denver office and see the operation of a big city switchboard.

VINEGAR IN BOHEMIA By GEORGE MUNSON "How do you like Bohemia, Miss Lane?" inquired Stanford. Dorothy Lane drew in her breath. "I think it is just heavenly," she said, watching the lights and the dancers in the cabaret. "And to think I lived all my life without knowing that these things exist!" "They're all very well in their way," answered Sanford. "Only don't estimate them beyond their real value, Miss Lane." Dorothy had persuaded her parents, who were rich, to give her a year in New York. Ostensibly she was studying at an art school; but if you had questioned her and she had been honest, she would have told you that she was studying life. A young man, dressed in the extremity of fashion, who had been executing a dance with a slim blonde, came up and sat down at the table. "I'm dry," he remarked, addressing all the party, though his eyes rested on Dorothy. "What'll you have," asked Sanford, smiling. "Absinthe," answered the young man. "Hello! Excuse me a moment." While he was gone to speak to his late partner, Sanford turned to Dorothy. "It's the way in Bohemia," he said. "Introductions aren't considered necessary. You don't mind?" "O. I think it's delightfully unconventional," the girl answered. When the young man came back he drifted into an earnest conversation with Dorothy, after drinking the strange, greenish-white liquid which A "May I Be Privileged to Call Myself Your Friend?" was supplied him. He asked her to dance. The girl, in exhilaration, seemed to float over the boards. And when the dance was over the young man and she sat down in a corner behind a screen, under a palm. He was the son of an English nobleman, he told her. But for family reasons the marriage had to be kept quiet. He had borne the undeserved stigma upon his birth at his dead mother's plea. His father had refused to acknowledge him. He did not like the life in the cabaret. But one had to live. Dorothy listened in a trance. Such things, then, happened in real life, and not merely in books! It seemed impossible. In a moment kindly Sanford was forgotten. Sanford, well-meaning, and a good friend to her, had taken her to the Cabaret Richelieu at her request to see "something of the shady side of life." He thought the inex-experienced girl more worldly than she was. Had he understood nothing would have induced him to take her, with the party of friends, to such a place. The young man's soulful blue eyes seemed unutterably sad. "May I hope to meet you again?" he asked. "Perhaps," breathed Dorothy. "When?" "Tomorrow night?" It was settled, and the girl's heart beat fast as he led her back to the table, where Sanford gave her a kindly scolding for sitting out with the man. He did not know the secret of his birth, and Dorothy felt honored in keeping it to herself. Sanford took her home, laughed at her enthusiasm, and said good-by. He never dreamed what plan was in Dorothy's head. On the next night Dorothy, innocent, went to the cabaret alone. Timidly she sat at a table. She did not know what to order. Before she had answered the waiter, a young man came up to her and invited her to dance. The leer on his face struck Dorothy cold with terror. Suddenly, with a bound, her friend of the night before was at her side. "Get out of here!" he stormed at the other, who withdrew grudgingly. A moment later Dorothy saw him laughing with the slim blonde woman. It might have seemed curious, but all her attention was concentrated on the young man at her side. She told him her own story, of the pent-in life in the country home, her rich old father, absorbed in money-making, her loneliness in New York. "But you need an escort," said the young man. "May I be privileged to call myself your friend?" I can snow you life—the real life. . . ." On the next evening he called for her in a taxicab and took her to half a dozen cabarets. Dorothy had an impression of a whirl of music, dancing, and laughter. The young man had no change and Dorothy paid the taxicab bill—twenty-two dollars. She had an idea that the cab driver smiled when he took the young man home. St. Clair—that was his name—had explained how his share of his grandfather's property was being held up pending a lawsuit. It would be a matter of a few weeks only. Dorothy, with all the money she needed, had offered to be his banker. The next day she bought him a diamond pin. He had said he had lost his pin. How surprised he would he at the gift! He was. And, always respectful, he took her here and there and everywhere. The girl's eyes were opening fast. Their comradeship, so frank and friendly, took on a softer note. She let him hold her hand. Once he kissed it, and she thrilled with happiness. He was to call and take her to a private theatrical entertainment—very exclusive, very elite. Dorothy was surprised that it was to be given in a private house, but she went upstairs without demur. They were the first guests. Excusing himself a moment, the young man withdrew, leaving the girl alone in the dimly-lit room. It was a two-room apartment, with a curtain in the middle. Dorothy began to grow uneasy. She heard foot-steps—and suddenly two men and a woman—the slim blonde—burst in. "There she is!" shrieked the woman. "O you hussy! I'll teach you—I'll tear your eyes out—" She struggled wildly in the grip of the men, while Dorothy, white with terror, waited mutely. "Well, Miss we've trapped you," said one of the men. "We are detectives from the Dolf agency. If you've got any friends you'd best communicate with them, for Mrs. Seaforth here means to prosecute her divorce suit through thick and thin." Before Dorothy had quite taken in his meaning the second man, seizing advantage while his comrade struggled with the blonde, came quietly up to Dorothy. "Five hundred will square it, and we'll swear we never found you," he whispered. "Come, give me your note—all your money and an I. O. U. It's safest, and you won't have any publicity." At last the girl realized the trap into which she had fallen. Half fainting, she clung to the window curtains, her eyes fixed mutely on the scoundrel's face. Suddenly the door burst open, and there stood Sanford—kindly Sanford, now red with rage, and wielding a revolver. "Get out of here—the pack of you!" he snarled. With wonderful speed the blonde, recovering, shot through the doorway, followed by the two confederates. Sanford held Dorothy in his arms. "There, my dear!" he said, stroking her hair. "I was to blame. I felt uneasy and followed things up. Those rogues had laid a trap for you. I know. I know." And, half supporting her, he led her from Bohemia. (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) "HIGH BROW" AS A STIGMA Remarkable What a Hold Appellation Has Taken on the Minds of Americans. The worst fault, however, into which our age-long service of mediocrity has led us is a weak-kneed, pusillanimous deference to mediocrity itself. The college has borrowed the vice from everyday American life. For example, the most deadly weapon in the yellow journalist's armory is the term "high brow." A politician may be called "grafter," "boss," or even "muckraker," and escape unscratched; but if he is denounced as a "high brow," and the label sticks, his career is ended. A playwright or a novelist may be written down as "cheap," he may be said to plagiarize, he may be shown to be vicious or unclean, without serious damage to his reputation; but let him be proved a "high brow" and the public will fly from him as if he were a book agent. Now the widespread American belief that knowledge makes a man impractical is responsible for some of this curious odium; but far more is due to our servile deference to mediocrity. The weight of public opinion is usually against the expert, the specialist, the thinker, the exceptional man in general, for public opinion, whether right or wrong, is always mediocre, and there are few among us who do not in this respect yield somehow, somewhere, to public opinion. The doctor distrusts the advanced political theorist, the politician distrusts the advanced dramatist, the dramatist sneers at the innovation of science. We are all made timid by the enormous majorities which uphold mediocrity. — Harper's Magazine. In Sicily. Historical and political forces have retarded the progress of Sicily which, in some respects and in many districts, seem to be of the medieval age and not of the twentieth century. Imagine a cart whose sides are adorned with bas reliefs representing the Crucifixion, the Last Supper, the Madonna and Bambino, and the boy Christ, disputing with the rabbis in the temple, whose axles, shafts and often hubs are carved, painted and gilded, and whose squeaking wheels are six feet in diameter—and you have the fashionable family vehicle of the country. A LABOR DAY REALISM In Work He Found Salvation for Both Body and Mind By FRANK H. SWEET ENNINGTON lit a cigarette, took one puff, hesitated, and threw it away. He had forgot, ten the doctor's quietly spoken but incisive words, and now remembered them with a sudden return of his old dread of what might come. ENNINGTON lit a cigarette, took one puff, hesitated, and threw it away. He had forgotten the doctor's quietly spoken but incisive words, and now remembered them with a sudden return of his old dread of what might come. And yet, what odds? The world was an unsatisfactory place at best, and if it was to be hedged in by high walls, what pleasure would the little cells be? A band of music was approaching, and his gaze went to it with the crowd's. Behind the music came a great block of marching men, and behind them another and another, and still another. Then Pennington understood. It was Labor day, and this was the trades parade. Under other circumstances Pennington's gaze would have turned away indifferently; but there was only the sidewalk or the street, and of the two the street was the less tedious. It was at least a moving bore. The first impression that came clearly to his understanding was one of the strong, stalwart units of the blocks; the next, their contented and even happy looks. "How happy and strong they are," said a voice at his side, and Pennington looked down, a quick glow coming into his face, and fading yet more quickly. It was the girl who had tinged his dreams, who had since grown distant and sorrowful scornful. "Yes, they seem strong and happy, Esther," he answered, "in spite of being in the trades." "Because of being in the trades," she corrected swiftly, a vibrant ring in her voice that brought his eyes again to her face. She was looking out at the marching blocks, her gaze steady, with a tremulousness of the delicate lips that somehow reminded him of the odd note in her voice. The next day there was a rumor of Pennington's going abroad; his housekeeper had received a note to close the house, the agent to look after the affairs until further instructions. Down on one of the back streets, a street unknown to Pennington's old life, were many dingy offices, meager in appointments, but representing a vast accretion of labor. At one of them a line of men were seeking employment, passing in front of a keeneyed foreman, who accepted or rejected them almost without a glance. But the rejections were few. Men were wanted for new blocks of buildings going up, men of skill, of strength, of merely carrying capacity—any man who could add his strength to the labor force and hasten the work. So when a white-handed man of confessed incapacity stepped in front of the foreman's desk he was looked at askance, but finally accepted and set to carrying brick from the sidewalk to the men who were laying the A Then Pennington Understood. foundation. It was muscle-making or muscle-breaking work, and for the first few days—or weeks even—it seemed wholly of the breaking. But there was an under element of doggedness in Pennington's nature which had never come to the surface, and though his limbs trembled with weariness long before the days were half over, and at noon he sank into a crouching heap upon the nearest board rather than cross the street to a restaurant, he struggled on in some way until the hour of dismissal came. The second day the boss told him gruffly that he could not afford to pay him more than half wages, and the third day that he should pay him nothing at all, for he was worth nothing. This was tantamount to a discharge, and so the boss meant it, but it was not one in actual words. Pennington disregarded it. The boss looked toward him doubtfully from time to time, but in the end concluded to let him remain. Such determination promised good work, if the man survived the breaking in. Besides, he must be in dire need. Pennington had a little room over the second-hand store where he purchased a coarse suit of working clothes, but he had not brought money to pay the room rent. He possessed a cheap silver watch, however, and this he left as security. With his first pay envelope he redeemed the watch. In his room were cot, a chair, and a rusty little stove propped up with wooden blocks. Put not until the third week did he start a fire in the stove and make disastrous ineffectual attempts to cook his breakfast. By this time the blisters had disappeared under rough lumps and ridges. How he had lived before this no one knew but himself, for until he received his second pay envelope he did not commence crossing the street to the restaurant for a noon lunch. When he sat down for a few minutes at the noon hour he did not double over in a tremulous heap as he had done at first, and though his face was thinner and whiter, its flesh was firmer than when he first came, and his eyes were clearer. As Pennington's hands acquired a working knowledge of the materials, and his mind began to more thoroughly grasp the details, the boss gave him Seemed to Be Directing the Work. occasional jobs of oversight or authority, for he seemed the best man at hand for them. At first an hour or two of keeping the men's time, the stock taking of some of the materials, or perhaps a commission downtown to purchase things that required inspection and could not be ordered by messenger or telephone; then, after a year or so, he began to be left in temporary charge during the enforced absence of both foreman and boss. And by that time Pennington's hands were as firm and hard as the average workingman's, and his thin face and narrow shoulders were filling out with good, solid flesh. At the end of three years the foreman started out as an independent contractor and the boss took his place. Pennington would have then become boss, but this new contractor asked him to go with him as foreman, and Pennington, with an odd feeling of exultation and wonder, consented. All this time the Pennington agent had heard nothing, and an expression of speculative concern was beginning to appear in his face. Of course Pennington must be dead, for he was a man who required a great deal of money, and being in Europe made the money more imperative. The agent was in half mind to communicate with the nearest relative, but hesitated and concluded to wait a little longer. A small portion of Esther Kilton's property consisted of downtown tenements. In the last few years she had become infected with the reform movement, and was remodeling them with more regard for the inmates' welfare than her rent roll. Several blocks had already been rebuilt and occupied, and recently to hasten the work she had given a block to a new contractor. When the old buildings were demolished and the new walls were up a dozen or more feet she went down to look at the work. Poised on the very end of a timber almost above her was an alert, compactly built man, who seemed to be directing the work. Something about him drew her gaze back again and again; yet even while her eyes kindled they filled mistily. He was so like and yet so unlike; so what the other might have been, and was not. Presently the man sprang lightly across to another timber seven or eight feet away, explained something about the work to a new man, then crouched and dropped to the ground 12 feet below. As he turned he stood facing the owner, and they gazed for some moments into each other's eyes. He had been so absorbed in the work that he had not noticed her presence. "Esther!" he cried. "Ralph Pennington," wonderingly. "I thought you were in Europe." "No; I have been here all the time." "In work like this?" He nodded. She looked at him with the color rising warmer in her face; in her eyes was inquiry, then comprehension, joy, exultation. "Ralph," she said softly, after a long silence, "will you come up this evening and—and tell me about it?" There was a smile in Pennington's eyes, though his face remained grave. "Yes, Esther," he answered, "I will come up and—and ask you about it. I am now in the trades." NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Children Who Insist on Being Real Americans WASHINGTON.—While the new "Americanization day" idea, for instilling the spirit and ideals of the United States into naturalized citizens, will undoubtedly appeal to many in Washington, a large number of the foreign- happened when a teacher of a kindergarten had her pupils out for a walk may give an understanding of this spirit. A woman approached the party and, pointing to a bright-appearing boy near the teacher, asked his nationality. "He is Russian," replied the teacher. "No, I am not," quickly retorted the five-year-old; "I am American." "I did not mean you were Russian," explained the teacher. "I meant that your mother and father are Russians." "No, they are not, either. They are Americans, too," came back the answer, quickly. Another incident may serve to show the diligence with which the foreign born are seeking to become "true Americans." A reporter in search of children who, he had heard, could speak three, four or five languages went to one of the schools. The teacher in charge called to one of the pupils known to speak a number of languages: "Annie, can't you say something in your native language?" she asked the child. Annie immediately became bashful and refused to say anything. "What language do you speak?" the child was asked. "I speak English," she answered. "Yes, here at school. But what do you speak at home? What do mother and father speak?" "Oh, they speak English, too," came back quickly. "They want to be American." United States' Crusade Against Weight Frauds United States' Crusade Against Weight Frauds AMERICAN consumers of print butter are paying more than $8,000,000 each year for butter they do not get. This is because the weights of the commodity they actually receive are materially less than those they are flammed and short-weighted; and in a large percentage of cases he—or usually she—is wholly ignorant of the fact. It is because of the conditions of affairs of which these things are only samples that the division of weights and measures of the bureau of standards has directed many of its activities in recent years toward securing the enactment of better weights and measure laws by the federal government and the several states, and toward bringing about stricter enforcement of existing laws. Recognizing that the education of the consumer is a necessary prerequisite to better conditions the department has prepared a bulletin on household measurements that will be a popular treatise on the subject and which will put information in the hands of the housekeeper that can be made of the greatest usefulness and money value. Training Good Cooks for Uncle Sam's Soldiers Training Good Cooks for Uncle Sam's Soldiers OF late years—since 1906—the United States army has been no longer a mass of men who simply got food. They are now scientifically fed by men who have studied the subject, and in a practical way by presiding over meat, the chemistry of food values, the testing of foodstuffs, the nutritive elements in vegetables and the chemistry of bread-baking. In the big, sweet-smelling bakery at the Washington barracks there are to be seen every morning about a dozen husky fellows—for they take their lessons by small details—all engaged in mashing the dough in working machines, poking it into the huge oven or fishing it out at the end of a long wooden pole. As they bake the bread for the entire post, they use each day about two barrels of flour. The bread is delicious and fashioned of the purest ingredients. The barracks kitchen is used for the preparation of most of the food, but there is also outside a "field kitchen," in which the cooking is virtually done in the open. The place is a simple shed, open all around, except that the sides are protected by wire screening. There are taught lessons in how to prepare an appetizing meal with the thermometer below zero or rising toward the top of the glass tube. Experiments at the Government's Chicken Farm Experiments at the Government's Chicken Farm THERE'S a sixty-acre poultry farm thirty minutes' ride from Washington, and beyond all doubt the work which is being done there would throw light upon at least one of the many problems which arise constantly to "stump" the chicken fancier, be he to look over this particular establishment. He will be more than welcome, for, you see, the farm in question belongs to Uncle Sam and is part of the Beltsville, Md., bureau of animal industry station. In fact, the men who are running the big poultry establishment desire above all things to have chicken fanciers and breeders visit them and see the work they are doing. Collateral with the feeding, housing and breeding problems of ordinary poultry production, the Beltsville farm at present is the scene of a good many investigations which, when completed, are unquestionably destined to be of intense interest to the poultry dealer. One of them deals with an attempt to control the color of the yolks of eggs. Another is designed to disclose the ingredients of a ration based on staples easily obtained in any part of the country, which will produce the highest number of eggs possible.

United States' Crusade A A MERICAN consumers of print butter each year for butter they do not g commodity they actually receive are supposed to be buying. Consumers of bulk butter that is weighed out over the counter are paying other real millions for imaginary fat that can never be cut with a knife or spread on a slice of bread. And buyers of potatoes, sugar, flour, meat, milk and all other foodstuffs that go to make up the American dietary are contributing additional millions, in the aggregate, for things that they never receive.

BEAUTY OF HOME YARD The immediate grounds about the home can be made beautiful, and an effort should be made in that direction. The home grounds should be ample, as large as is consistent with the size of the dwelling. An acre is not too much. Some think that an acre of land is too much to waste on a simple door yard, but the better the home grounds the better will be the life of the family. It is a wrong estimate of life and property to be forever making money to enlarge the farm in area, in buying extra tracts of land for future use, and not improve and make the best of the ground where the wife and children spend nearly all of the best of their life. Some look forward and prepare too much for pleasure to come, and do not expend any means on making the present the very best that it can be. They let the home grounds and surroundings remain shabby and unimproved, spending the extra money on property to be handed down to the children or putting it in the bank. This is wrong when there is any neglect in home improvement. If the children need help, by all means, they need it now while they are helpless more than when they grow up and will be able to fully care for themselves, perhaps much better than we ever shall be able to care for them. They need the comforts, healthfulness, and beautifying influences of good homes and surroundings in order to make them healthy, strong, beautiful and good. These are infinitely better than inherited real estate, personal property, or money. The child whose home life is perfect for physical and mental development will go out into the world with a rich heritage. The grounds around the home should be well drained and graded to suit the location. The main open part of the space should be lawn of good grass and be kept mowed low at all times so that the air and sunlight may purify the soil. Abundance of flowers, shrubs and trees are essentials for completing the picture, but flowers and shrubs must be massed in clumps and borders along the sides and the trees must be grouped in one place, somewhat removed from one side of the dwelling. THE ROSE BLOOM High Vase Basket With Sunburst, Hillingdon and Richmond Roses. By H. H. SHEPARD. Pergolas add much to the beauty of the home grounds. Under the tree in the cool shady part of the grounds a children's play house or rustic, open structure is a good place for play and rest for both young and old. We can never get too much of the open air, even though we live in the country; and such a covered place under the trees makes a fine nook in which to read or take a nap and fully enjoy the sweets of outdoor life. For wet weather concrete walks are economical. They are cheaply and easily made. They need not necessarily be wide, but there should be enough of them so that all the outbuildings and other much frequented spots can be reached without walking on the wet ground. The grounds about the barn and other stock buildings should be as neat and clean as the home grounds proper. This is both good farm management and a mark of good taste and character on the part of the farmer. Good fences around all the home grounds and lots are a necessary convenience, and keeping them in good repair adds to the neatness and beauty of the picture as a whole. GARDEN HINTS Whenever possible procure perennials—they are the most satisfactory class of plants, and especially adapted to the farmer's garden. During this month, if possible, procure seeds that have just ripened, from your friends, and plant them at once. Or maybe you can find self-grown seedlings about the base of the early blooming sort. Keep on hand a good supply of insecticides. Bordeaux mixture as used in the orchard is good to destroy mildew and rust in the flower garden. Tobacco water will kill aphides which infest chrysanthemums and golden glow. Cut the rhubarb blooms as soon as they appear. They weaken the plant. Treasure the weekly wash water and apply to the roots of the flowers; it will enhance the beauty of the rose. If slugs bother the roses sift ashes on the bushes when they are wet with dew or rain. See that the ashes reach the under side of the leaves Sow the seeds of annuals—phlox, candy-tuft, poppy and the like—for a fine fall showing. POPE'S PEACE PLEABYGIBBONS POPE'S PEACE PLEABYGIBBONS CARDINAL VISITS WHITE HOUSE AND DISCUSSES END OF WAR WITH WILSON. SITUATION IN MEXICO CABLEGRAM PRAISES THE PRESIDENT'S ATTITUDE.—NEUTRALS MAY TAKE JOINT ACTION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.--Cardinal Gibbons came to Washington Thursday with a message of hope for peace in Europe to President Wilson, from Pope Benedict. It was a cablegram praising the President's attitude and indicating a belief that the United States might be in a position to help in bringing the European war to an end. After reading the message the Cardinal remained for half an hour with the President discussing the possibility of peace and the world war situation generally. He emerged smiling and walked over to the State Department for a conference with Secretary Lansing. Later he announced he had talked peace with the President and told him of his gratification over the apparent success of the negotiations with Germany over submarine warfare. He spoke cheerfully of the situation, saying the prospects for peace seemed to be brightening. The text of the Pope's message was not made public, nor was there any formal comment on it from the White House. Unofficially, however, it was said that the President was much pleased with the message and with the interview. It was understood that the Pope made no definite suggestion as to a peace movement and that his message was purely a personal one to President Wilson and not addressed to the heads of other neutral governments. Joint action for peace among the heads of several neutral nations and the Pope was suggested as a possible outcome of the day's developments, but this idea received no official confirmation. Up to the present the United States has acted entirely alone in the single offer it has made to be of service in bringing about peace. The Mexican situation was touched upon incidentally by Cardinal Gibbons both at the White House and at the State Department, with an expression of his hopes for an early restoration of order and government in that country. KAISER ASKS ARBITRATION. Admiral Von Tirpitz to Resign as German Minister of Marine. Berlin.—Germany, according to Count von Bernstorff's instructions, offers to submit the claims for compensation arising out of the Lusitania and Arabic cases to The Hague for adjudication. London.—An Amsterdam dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company says it is reported that Admiral von Tirpitz, the German minister of marine, will resign and will be succeeded by Admiral von Posl, now chief of the admiralty staff and commander of the German battle fleet. The dispatch adds: "Telegrams received here from Berlin express fears that the German government's decision to relax its submarine campaign will cause most serious internal troubles, as the chancellor's action conflicts with the opinion of all the maritime chiefs." WIFE ACCUSED IN AUTO MURDER. Negro Trio Say Spouse of Doctor Promised $5,000 for Killing. Providence, R. I.—Fifteen hours after Mrs. Elizabeth Tiffany Blair Mohr had been arrested as a result of the confession by three negroes that she had hired them for $5,000 to kill her husband, C. Franklin Mohr, a wealthy physician of this city and Newport, she was released in $10,000 bail. The only statement obtained from Mrs. Mohr during the day was a denial of the charges against her. When confronted with Cecil Victor Brown, the former hostler on the Mohr estate, whose confession led to her arrest, she said: "It is not so. You know you came up to my house and said that you were going to square with the doctor because he did not pay you what you said he hewed you. I told you not to be foolish." Brown, with his two alleged accomplices, Henry Spellman, his half brother and George W. Healis, the doctor's chauffeur, were locked up in the Bristol county jail. All three are charged with murder. "Cause for Profound Rejoicing."—Taft San Francisco, Calif.—The acquiescence by Germany in this country's contention for the rights of non-combatant citizens on commercial liners of belligerents "should be the cause of profound rejoicing by every patriotic American, and the occasion for congratulation to the President," said William Howard Taft, former President of the United States in an address delivered at the Taft Day celebration at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. THE KITCHEN CABINET That low man seeks a little thing to do. Sees it and does it. During the hot months, when the appetite needs a little toning up, the following salmon dish will be especially good: A jug and a mug Spiced Salmon. —Boil a can of salmon 30 minutes, take out, drain off the oil, turn fish on a platter, pick out the bones and skin, sprinkle with salt, pepper and cover with cold vinegar; add a few cloves, a few allspice and stand in a cold place several hours. Then drain and serve on lettuce. **Liver Pudding (Old Georgia Style).**—Take a hog's liver, half a hog's head, two red peppers and one onion. Cut the pepper and onion in small pieces and tie in a small cheesecloth with a little sage; season with salt and drop into the kettle with the boiling meat. When tender, remove from the kettle and when cool take out the bone and gristle; set aside in a mold. Add two or three hard-cooked eggs at intervals to make it more attractive when sliced. Spiced Beef Tongue.—Wash and trim a fresh beef tongue, drop into boiling water with a teaspoonful of salt, a pepper pod, and simmer until the tongue is tender. Cool, peel and put into a clean saucepan; add four tablespoonful of sugar, a tablespoonful each of allspice and cloves, both ground, a cupful of water and half a cupful of cider vinegar. Simmer until the liquor is evaporated, turning the tongue often to season well. Chill on ice and serve cut in thin slices garnished with lemon and parsley. Any bits of cold meat, from chicken to mutton, if no more than a cupful, will make a most appetizing dish if these directions are followed: Cut two or three potatoes very thin, put into the bottom of a buttered baking dish, cover with a cupful of meat and any gravy, or, if none, a little water, with beef extract, two tablespoonfuls of shredded onion and a cupful or two of tomatoes over all. Bake an hour, or until the potatoes are tender, then sprinkle the top with a few cooked peas and serve from the dish. Add seasonings of salt and pepper. SOMETHING ABOUT BREADS. With good bread or rolls for her table the housewife may laugh at un- break of robs for her usewife may laugh at un- expected company, for without these nothing, however fine, will make a pleasant meal. Olive Tree Raisin Bread.—Place a pint of milk and a pint of water in a saucepan and bring to the boiling point; cool until lukewarm, then add a cake of yeast, dissolved in a half cupful of lukewarm water, add four cupfuls of flour and a teaspoonful of sugar, beat well and let stand to rise. When very light add a half cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of butter, two eggs and a cupful of raisins. Knead with flour enough to handle well, form into loaves and bake when the loaves are more than double in bulk. Bake 45 minutes. Coffee Cake.—To make the sponge, take a cupful of milk, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, a half yeast cake, dissolved in a fourth of a cupful of water, two cupfuls of flour. Beat well and let stand until light, or better overnight, then add a half cupful of melted butter, a half cupful of sugar, two beaten eggs, a teaspoonful of salt and a half cupful of milk with three or four cupfuls of flour to make a dough to knead. Let rise again until light, spread with softened butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and when light bake in a moderate oven. Tea Rolls.—Add two cupfuls of flour to a cupful of scalded milk when it is lukewarm, beat well and add a yeast cake softened in a quarter of a cupful of water. When well risen, add a fourth of a cupful of melted butter, a teaspoonful of salt, two eggs, a grating of nutmeg, add two more cupfuls of flour. Knead well and let rise in a warm place. Shape into small rolls, put into a buttered pan and set to rise, well covered. Bake in a hot oven 15 minutes. Nut Cakes.—Beat two eggs and stir into them a cupful of light brown sugar and two tablespoonfuls of flour. Add a cupful of nut meats chopped fine. Spread the mixture in a very thin layer on a well-greased tin and bake ten minutes or until lightly browned. Nellee Maxwell An old countryman, being congratulated by the rector on the fact that her only son had enlisted, said: "Well, sir; after all, it was only to be expected, for, sure, the old proverb says: 'Train up a child and away he goes!'" To Clean Irons. Saturate a cloth with water, wring it partially dry, and rub some soap well into it. Rub the cloth well over the iron, and you will find that it will remove any roughness or marks that might have been there.

Admission 250 BARGAINS. Trim and Graceful Tailormade Trim and plain and graceful, one of the new fall suits, of plain-faced cloth, presents all of the characteristics that have placed American "tailormades" at the head of their class. The skirt is moderately wide and plain, finished at the bottom with a three-inch hem. It hangs plain at the front and back and achieves a moderate flare by means of three deep plaits at each side. The coat is semifitting and laps over at the front, buttoning a little to the left of the center, with smart composition buttons banded with white enamel. The sleeves are long, plain coat shape, rather close fitting and finished without cuffs. But they are decorated with three buttons, set some distance apart. It will be noticed that they curve outward at the hand a little and extend partly over In the Realm of Neckwear In the Realm of Neckwear THE FILM OF "THE LADY OF THE RING" BY JOHN BURTON, AUGUST 1915. In the realm of neckwear few novelties in ruffs and boas for outdoors have appeared. It is a bit too early for the entrance of important novelties as yet. The ostrich boa continues a favorite in white, white and black combinations, or white with other colors. A premonition of fall appears in its greater length and thickness. Boas of ostrich feathers will divide honors with neckpieces of white fox, and other furs that look like it, during between-season period. The days of the ruff of malines or net or chiffon ust pass with those of midsummer, but ostrich and white fur neckpieces may be relied upon for use all through the winter as well as the fall season. But even more attention is promised to the dressing of the neck for indoors this fall than was given it this summer. Sheer white organdie, and handkerchief linen play an important part in fashioning the collar shown in the new crepe blouses. These it, a new touch that it is worth while to consider. The collar is finished with an inlay of silk and is cut rather high at the back. It fits snugly for a turnover and may be brought very close up about the neck. Flaps at each side, fastened down with a single button, simulate small pockets on the body of the coat. Patch pockets are set on at each side of the coat's skirt and are finished with a flap and buttons also. A narrow stitched-down belt of the fabric extends part way about the waist line. It terminates at each side of the front in a point and a button. Machine stitching, done in the most workmanlike manner, is a part of the excellence of this trim coat. Taken altogether the suit is admirable and the model suited to women of all ages. THE ROSE collars are nearly all high and made in turnover and wing effects. Fine plaitings of organdie are used for the always becoming and elegant looking jabots that finish some of them. The collars fit close about the neck, but are eased at the front by a small "V" or square opening, or the introduction of up-standing plaits. The opening at the front is growing smaller, and in any collars it is ignored altogether. A collar which fits like a flaring cuff, fastens at the back and promises well as a style to be worn with tailored hats. Collars moderately high with small wings at the front are set on to plaited organdie that apples about the neck and redeems the mannish cravat and collar from its severity. In outer garments some very new collars are extremely high and lined with fur. They are usually decorated with braid and look very chic and most comfortable for cold weather.
