LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE FIRST NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LYNCHING REPORT BY MOORFIELD STOREY, CHAIRMAN, OF BOSTON EX-PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION. VOL. XXV. THE FIRST NATIONAL CONFERENCE REPORT BY MOORFIELD STOR EX-PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCI T WENTY-FIVE states of the union were represented at the first National Conference on Lynching which was held in New York City on May 5th and 6th. Its truly representative character and its freedom from sectionalism were assured by the prominence of the 120 signers in all parts of the country who called it together. The southern signers and representatives especially, comprising Hugh M. Dorsey, governor of Georgia, ex-Governor Emmet O'Neal of Alabama, who delivered a notable address at the opening mass meeting in Carnegie Hall on the evening of May 5th, Bishop Thirkield of New Orleans, Jack C. Wilson and J. R. Bingham of Mississippi, and Bruce R. Payne, president of Peabody College, Nashville, Tennessee, represented the growing sentiment of the progressive South against the shameful practices of mob violence and murder. It needs only to mention the names of Charles Evans Hughes, Elihu Root, Charles W. Elliot, Henry W. Taft, Nicholas Murray Butler, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, and Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer of the North, David Starr Jordan and Benjamin Ide Wheeler of California, Ben B. Lindsey of Colorado, and James P. Goodrich, governor of Indiana, as well as of the numerous other signers and representatives of position and renown to establish the nation-wide character of the sentiment which found its expression in the conference. Whatever the opinions on other matters of the delegates and guests of the conference, all were agreed that mob murder and mob violence were menaces to the safety of our country and the integrity of its institutions. The first mass meeting of the conference and its subsequent proceedings on May 6th, were informed with the spirit of President Wilson's message on lynching, in which he said: "There have been lynchings and every one of them has been a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice. No man who loves America, no man who really cares for her fame and honor and character, or who is truly loyal to her institutions, can justify mob action while the courts of justice are open and the governments of the states and the nation are ready and able to do their duty." One of the most significant expressions of opinion of the conference was the unanimous passage of a resolution in favor of an attempt to obtain federal legislation against lynching. It was debated whether effective federal legislation would be constitutional. But the conference decided to waive questions of constitutionality in favor of expressing the deep feeling that mob murder is not a local or sectional but a national menace to be faced by citizens in all parts of the country as Americans. The constitutional questions were left to a committee of lawyers which is to be appointed. State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House the Only Reliable COLOR NATIONAL E ON LYNCHING REY, CHAIRMAN, OF BOSTON, THE AMERICAN BAR ATION. Reliable Pe LORA THE J DENVE NCHING , OF BOSTON, BAR The first step toward realizing the conviction that mob murder is a national menace was taken when a resolution was passed requesting the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to organize in each state a committee to inform public opinion of the horrors of lynching, and to obtain adequate legislation against the practice. Especially hopeful in this direction were the prompt assurances that white men and colored men in all parts of the country would be prompt in co-operating to lay the facts before the country and to crysed for local failure to prevent mob tallize humane sentiment against barbarism. Among the remedies suggest-murder those of ex-Governor O'Neal command attention. His advocacy that the power of removing local officers be lodged with state governors met with emphatic endorsement from Mr. Hughes and should be recommended to the attention of State Legislatures. Practical weight was given to suggestions advanced during the conference by the generous financial response made from all parts of the country. The creation of a fund of $9,300 to be used in stamping out mob murder is due very largely to the enthusiasm and the generosity of colored people. Our immediate program comprises the appointment of a committee of lawyers of prominence who will devote their attention to framing and proposing a federal law against lynching and to the constitutional questions involved. An address to the nation will be drawn and submitted for signature to men of force and standing in social and political life throughout the United States. A number of southern gentlemen are forming a publicity committee in response to the resolution passed by the conference calling for such action in the South. We believe that the conference brought sharply to the attention of the country a state of affairs toward which indifference is no longer possible. The generous support given our efforts in the news and editorial columns of the press will no doubt have begun that rousing of public conscience which can eventuate only in the complete abolition of the evil of mob murder and violence in the United States. As Mr. Hughes put it, "Civilization as well as democracy is at stake—the hope of democracy is in justice, the only hope of justice is in tribunals through which justice can be secured, the only hope of the functioning of these tribunals is in a sentiment which shall demand that they within their department shall be supreme and that any effort to incite to mob violence shall be regarded as an attack upon the very foundations of society itself; and if there is any criminal in this broad land who should not go unwhipped of, justice it is the man who takes the law into his own hands." --- ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1919 M.

ANTHONY AERY. HAMPTON, VA., May 17.—The Hampton Alumni Association meeting, held in connection with the school's semi-centennial celebration was in every way a big success. It marked the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the association. Well over two hundred members were in attendance. Many of them brought their wives, husbands, and children to see "Hampton by the Sea." The five living members—Mrs. Julia Gibbs Stevens, Mrs. Eliza Jackson Pindle, Joseph P. Weaver, Walter B. Watkins, and Dr. P. Dee A. Ellett—of the first graduating class—the class of 1871—were in attendance. The first big Alumni gathering was held in Memorial Church. At this meeting hopeful addresses were made by leading Hampton graduates, pledging the support of the Alumni Association to Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton and successor to Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, and to his administration. "Ogden Hall" Meeting. Alumni night was a great success. The meeting was held in the newly dedicated "Ogden Hall," which stands as a national monument to the late Robert Curtis Ogden, who rendered conspicuous service to all the citizens of America by enlisting the co-operation of the best men and women everywhere in the cause of public education. Inspiring and helpful addresses were delivered by F. D. Lee, '79, "Introductory Remarks"; William M. Reid, '77, "President's Address"; George D. Wharton, '80, "Practical Farming"; Mrs. Susie E. Palmer, '89, "Hampton's Religious Training"; Robert Lee Brokenburr, '06, "What Hampton Men Are Doing in Professions and Business"; Cornelius H. Garlick, '18, "Hampton of Today"; W. T. B. Williams, '88, "Hampton Graduates as Teachers." Mrs. Sarah Collins Fernandis, 'S2, read an original poem. An alumni chorus, led by Lieut. Paige I. Lancaster, '10, lately oversens with the 367th regiment, the original "Buffaloes," sang several plantation songs. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton, led the great audience in singing his original choral, "Hampton! My Home by the Sea." Mr. Taft's Address. Hon. William Howard Taft,* president of the Hampton Institute board of trustees, received on behalf of the board $3,500, which was handed to him by William M. Reid of Norfolk, president of the association, who stated that this money had been raised by the Hampton Alumni to provide a permanent scholarship to be known as the "Hollis B. Frissell Scholarship," and $1,000 to be added to the present "Armstrong Memorial Scholarship." so as to make the principal of each scholarship $2,500. Mr. Taft said: "My friends of the alumni, I think I know the joy you feel in coming back to take up the sweet memories of your service, your education, here. I think you cherish, perhaps, as the sweetest part of your lives, those four formative years during which you came under the influence of this wonderful Hampton spirit and during which you breathed in those inspiring promptings that came from associations with men like Armstrong and Frissell." President Reid announced that twenty-five Hampton graduates had pledges themselves to raise $100, each to provide, by the next meeting, a scholarship to be known as the "Mary F. Mackie Scholarship," in memory of one of Hampton's beloved teachers. Moorfield Storey of Boston, distinguished lawyer and champion of human rights for all classes and races, spoke briefly, "I have been astonished and inspired," said Mr. Storey, "by what I have seen here today. The lesson which Hampton is teaching this country in the lesson which every citing NO. 30. izen ought to learn. It is very easy to see what in these years has been accomplished by the co-operation of white and black working to the same end, each gaining and neither losing. "When a great subject like this we are dealing with has to be disposed of, there are all sorts of ways of doing it, all sorts of contributions from different men and different organizations, and they are all needed. "There are some who think the Negro should devote himself to acquiring knowledge in agriculture and the mechanical arts and businesses, thereby making himself rich and prosperous. There are others who think what is needed is higher education, that the Negro needs leaders, preachers, men who can hold their own in any institution of the world. There are some who feel that a little active, vigorous self-assertion, a little combative contribution is needed. There are others who want to smooth everything over and talk merely of peace. All are needed. All are making contributions to the general result, and instead of wasting our time in finding fault with each other's methods, if we recognize the fact that each is working in his own way, and that his way may be the Lord's way quite as well as our own, much will be accomplished. "The great lesson this country wants to learn is that, in order to advance, all Americans, whatever their national descent, whatever their color, whatever their religion, whatever their prejudice, must work together—everyone trying to advance all his fellows and not trying to keep anyone down or back. I should like to have the lesson taken to heart which was expressed in the ancient toast: 'The various peoples of the United States, distinct like the billows, but one like the sea.'" Mr. Storey's Service. George Foster Peabody of New York, Hampton's senior trustee, offered from the floor a motion of thanks to Mr. Storey, who "at great personal inconvenience undertook to carry through the United States Supreme Court, the question of the constitutionality of the segregation laws." Mr. Peabody said: "I would like to move that the Hampton Alumni Association put on record its appreciation of what Mr. Storey did, not merely for the Negro race, but for the country as a whole and for the white people of the South, in establishing the unconstitutionality of those laws which are the curse of true democracy." This motion was enthusiastically carried. President Reid presented Mrs. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute to the association and its host of friends. Dr. Gregg said at the closing of the Alumni exercises that he felt Hampton should be heartily congratulated on the quality of its graduates." At the alumni luncheon, which was tendered by the school, Dr. Gregg spoke on the "Aims of the Hampton Curriculum." Encouragement for All. The anniversary procession, which included the school's student body, alumni, trustees, and other visitors, passed in review before the "Mansion House," the home of Dr. and Mrs. Gregg, where former President Taft and other distinguished visitors greeted with hearty applause the long, long line of Hampton graduates and former students who marched by in the order of their classes. No unit received more hearty or spontaneous applause than the older graduates, including three of the original fifteen students who came to Hampton in 1868—Mrs. Eliza Jackson-Phlude, Mrs. Julia Gibbs Stevens, and Tazewell E. Hines. Rev. Dr. M. Ashby Jones of Atlanta, who spoke fearlessly on behalf of justice for all men, said: "I would to God that every man in the South could have witnessed the tableau, seen on the Ogden Hall stage, of the product (Continued on page 4.)

President Wilson will visit Brussels about May 20th, according to the Independence Belge, which adds that his visit will "dissipate misunderstandings and establish the good will of the allies toward Belgium." George Patterson, a negro and lightweight champion of the American Expeditionary forces, has the distinction of being the first American soldier to bathe in the former kaiser's bath tub at the palace in Neuenraub. Patterson made a hot rub part of his training. "It's a pretty tub," was his comment. Orders for possibly 3,000,000 gross tons of ships to be built for foreign account in American shipyards may be placed as the result of an order by President Wilson permitting the building of such ships, provided it could be done without interfering with the construction of the American merchant marine. Further reports having to do with the reputed intention of anti-Bolshevist forces to attack Petrograd, have been received from Helsingfors, Finland. The report says that General Rodzianko, with 3,000 Russians, will march against Petrograd from the south shore of the Gulf of Finland, while General Judenitch, with 3,000 men, will attack from the Oionetz district, on the north.

The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The State Livestock Board of Utah has decided to present to the governor a request for a quarantine against all sheep shipped from Idaho into Utah. The reason for this action is given as the prevalence of scabies in Idaho. Nevada already has a similar quarantine. Naturally aerial taxi rates will be high. That was shown definitely today by announcement of $1 per mile as transportation charges on the planes of the Mercury Aviation Company, which has started service from Los Angeles to Fresno. The company runs planes in trains of four, making a round trip daily. Only 4.5 per cent of 705,000 acres of winter wheat planted in Montana was abandoned as a result of winter killing and other causes, according to the report of Guy Fitzpatrick, Montana agent for the Federal Bureau of Crop Estimates.

PLATFORM, PRINCIPLES AND PLANS OF SIDNEY EASTWOOD CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER —ELECTION TO BE HELD MAY 20, 1919. Believing that all candidates for Mayor of the City and County of Denver at this election should frankly inform the voters their reasons for their candidacy and the policies they propose to pursue if elected. I take pleasure in thus submitting my views. The welfare of Denver is what I am most interested in. I have lived here steadily since 1871, and during these forty-eight years have made a constant study of municipal conditions. I have never held a public office nor handled a cent of political money $\pi$ I have lived continuously in a twelve-story house in North Denver. I built this house; it is in my name and I have paid taxes on it. $\pi$ I have been married twenty-nine years and have educated four children. $\pi$ The workers in our business men and men and women toilers—should be a city's first consideration, as they constitute the greater portion of the population. Low street car fare has a tendency to create homes and land with tene- ticular slums." I have always believed in and advocated municipal ownership of all public utilities, and believe that it should be the duty of the incoming Mayor to begin negotiations for the purchase by the City of the property of the Denver Tramway Company at a fair valuation determined by impact, but not on a volume by the Company's engineered order on the basis of "watered" bonds. The Tramway Company should be compelled, in the meantime, to comply fully with its franchise contract with the City and furnish service for Five-Cent fares without extra charge for transfers. If the company is unable to fulfill obligation when it should be required to turn its property over to the City for operation. $\textcircled{1}$ The Gas & Electric Company and the Telephone Company must refund their chise and agreement. $\textcircled{2}$ I am opposed to giving the Tramway Committee $5,000 of our money to spend on us that we ought to pay car fare. If elected Mayor I promise to take steps at once to ascertain the amount of electricity which can be generated through the utilization of the city's power plant on the city's City in conjunction with the municipal water plant, and the cost thereof, with a view to putting the City in a position to furnish electricity for its commercial and residential needs for City shops and asphalt plants, upon the expiration of the City's contract with the Denver Gas & Electric Light Company, which now costs the City $200,000 a year. The City is required at half the cost of any other city of equal size, due to its hydro-electric system. San Francisco had a revenue in 1918 of more than one million dollars from electricity generated by the city's municipal plant where water power is used. I do not believe in any candidate advocating municipal ownership unless he has some definite plan for carrying out. The water plant, now owned by the City, will take care of its bonded indebtedness and provide for needed extensions and improvements out of its earnings, without any assistance. The same should be true of the Tramway system in the event of its purchase and operation by the City. Should the City not be able to purchase the Tramway system at a reasonable cost, the system should be framed (six years hence), the City should then be in a position to operate the system under its own water-developed power. If the cost of operation can thus be cut in half, it is obvious that it will fall on the City in acquiring it. It is conceded that the use of automobiles has decreased the revenue of the Tramway Company. It is also a fact that a transport an system for a city is more economical than a man who does not own an automobile is compelled to ride on the street cars, and, on account of the use of automobiles by others, the Tramway Company must pay and they, not, raise the fare to $7 \frac{1}{2}$ cents. Why, not, when the Tramway Company is acquired by the City, lower the fare to 3 cents, or two tickets for 5 cents, and lower the fare to $1.25 per real city taxation? The experts agree that lower fares bring greater revenues, and I am sure that the 'deficit' would be very small for the taxpayers to take care of. And with the rate of fare lessened, less automobiles would ¶ I believe the returning soldiers should be given preference on the fire and police departments when new men are employed enough in the civil service examination to insure them employment. ¶ I believe in furnishing water for vacant lots free of charge. A garden or of grain looks and is better than weeds. I am not strong for the Civic Center propositions, and while I believe that this one should be finished, I believe that the municipal billing, when necessary, should be erected there. I am in favor of the City acquiring, from the Government, the High School ground and utilizing it as a park or breathing room for the congested dishebours. I am not in favor of selling any City property, and in case of a public building being built elsewhere, would favor leasing a House Square on long time leases. I am in favor of keeping the Sixteenth Street viaduct open to the public, as it connects with the main road, which has been closed to traffic for three years. Profiteering should be curtailed in the interest of the great mass of people, no matter where it is located. Methods of accomplishing this result should be studied carefully so that justice may be done to all, yet mindful of the fact that upon the prosperity and contentment of the whole depends the progress of the city. Denver and Colorado possesses men of sufficient ability to carry to a successful conclusion and work in an environment that emphasizes and desirable that Eastern men should be imported to conduct our industrial commissions or perform technical and engineering work in connection with other utilities or any municipal endeavors. Matters of taxation should be examined with great care to see that the people burdened by municipal taxes at the present time, when the drain upon the people on account of the war has been reduced, should be made to carry forward necessary improvements with a view to giving work to the unemployed and to assist the general progress of the City. These and other factors will be given due consideration in mapping out the public improvement program for the next occupants. % Efficiency in all departments of the City government is recognized as a requisite to the fulfillment of all obligations of an elective officer. In the four years to come, when ad-hoc government will take place, would you expect a millionaire or an aristocrat to look after your interests better than a man of your own kind? You get what you vote for. If you vote for a millionaire, you get him; if you vote for an aristocrat, that is what you get. SUNDAY EAST WOOD Not the long-tailed kind or the muskrat varieg, but Prussian Rats born to destroy the good names of man to entain their own purse. Whoever and whatever is found in the way of these Rats is mowed down like grain in a field and the damage done, is to these "spasms of virtue" and exponents of Justice a mere bagatelle. What is a man's reputation compared with the lust for gold? Of what value is a woman's virtue to a profileg? My friends, just as sure as there is a God in Heaven there will come a day when nonor, virtue and principle will dethrone cnicanery, blackmail and hypocrisy—there will come a day of reckoning for the man and men who have blasted the lives of innocent men and women for the unconquerable desire of dirty dollars. There is no cleaner city than Denver of today—there are no city streets free from vice and policing women—there is no place in the United States where murder, rape and debauchery is less prevalent, and it is a damnable shame to herald to the world, thru dirty yellow money-grabbing sewer soaked, red-inked papers the crimes of Denver which never existed only in the brains of Rats. If for no other reason, I would vote for Mr. Dewey C. Bailey because the Alley Rats with their foul smelling sheets are against him. You cannot kill the smell of a skunk by spraying him with high-priced perfumery, nor can you change a tin-horned gambler into an advocate of Justice and a moral reformer by the wearing of a little dash of lavender on his necktie. If I had a dog and his hide was covered with as many kinds of infernal, diabolical, noxious pest-breeding spots as are found on some of these Rats, I'd fill him with dynamite and blow him to pergatory. Mr. Dewey C. Bailey, I think more of you each day. I know if you were as foul in your desires and as criminal in your actions as these Rats paint you they would purchase your soul and flash your pictures on their front page as a savior of all mankind.

Coxvixcixa proofs having been given the people who have at- tended the various meetings of the candidates for the office of Mayor, ‘‘the voice of the people’’ in its endeavor to satisfy all claims to the success of each aspirant begins to speak in tones loud and clear that the contest will be very keen, of vast importance, and at present Dewey C. Bailey is ahead of his competitors by a fairly large margin which is inereasing as the day of reckoning is approaching. On more than one occasion and as recently as November last, the people of Denver have given a decisive blow and utterly defeated the old time idea of being SWAYED AND INFLUENCED BY THE PRESS, especially when it chooses, to malign and denounce in naked languagé any respectable member of the community, who beside be- ing a resident for several years, has stood the test that wins recogni- tion of both local and federal authorities of the government as to continue them in office for a successive number of years. Not more than three years ago, when the late revered and lamented HON. ROBT, SPEER was a candidate for the Mayoralty of this city, the daily newspaper that boasts of a greater circulation than any two others (as it generally states) heaped abuse the vilest on Mr. Speer; called him the head of the vice-ring and the propagator of a doctrine that would permanently ruin the morals of our children and make conspicuous our city as a HELL RESORT instead of a HEALTH RESORT; termed him pro-German so as to enlist a mountain system of opposition, the country at the time being in practical sympathy with the British and French allies, even though we had not declared war at that time; and adhering to this form of arousing all Denver to an anxiety unparalleled in its history, for the day when Mr. Speer’s political eareer shall have ended, this procedure had its won- derful and great effect of piling votes for this candidate and eleet- ing him by an overwhelming majority. But last November and this so-called mouthpiece of the Denver citizens, claiming for itseli, THE ONLY PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL quality, received a stinging rebuke in its campaign against our present governor and U. S. senator, Hon. Shoup and Phipps, whom they mocked and jeered as the GOLD DUST TWINS, and in the most yidieulous manner and by cartoon of the most disgraceful type sought to belittle and injure the fair name of these two men who are among COLORADO'S PIO- NEER BUILDERS. Seeing therefore at this time attention and at- traction are centered on Dewey C. Bailey and Cass Herrington, the former getting to avenge the usual “slime and mud” action by eleet- ing Dewey C. Bailey by a large majority. Of Mr. Bailey we can say that every position of trust he was given by the local as well as federal agents was filled with honor and dignity. Now it comes the denunciation of three dailies in this eampaign, we ask, is it likely that a repetition of the people’s action may result? It is very ap- parent, and the people viewing the political phase today, with a similar vision are, we are made to understand, determined to our turn to show our appreciation of this publi servant, of unchallenged reputation, with a record clean, will it be done? ‘‘The voice of the people’? says, 1T WILL AND SHALL BE DONE. Go then to the polls on Tuesday next and in using your brain whieh is the best agent to guide you in the exereise of the power of the franchise put your X against the name of your candidate for first and only choice. You know the man, then do the needful. CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. Mr, and Mrs. H.

SR RNIN NT NS | gee cae H Howard Taft, president of the Hampton Institute Board of ‘Trustees, speaking in Ogden Hall, at the fifty-first anniversary exercises of Hampton Institute, which included the celebration of the school’s semi-cen- tennis, puid tribute to the work of Armstrong, Frissell and Gregg. “Hamp- ton is a great national instrument of progress, invented by General Arm- strong and perfected by Doctor Pris- sell. It is given to few schools to be a pioneer in education, as Hampton has been, Hampton is the mother of a new system of education. General Armstrong, with the problem of fitting thousands of a backward race for life and progress, conceived the possibility Jof uniting mental training with that of the hand in useful trade, It was especially adapted to the need he sought to satisfy. But his conception worked out to & successful, practical result, has been given xpplication around the world, Not only for back- ward races, but also for a considerable part of races advanced in civilization is the union of manual and intellect- ual training regarded as the best prep-| aration for life.” Hampton's Training. Rev. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, of At- lanta, speaking for the white South, outlined “Hampton’s contribution to National Edueation.” Dr. Jones said: |*Phe glory of Hampton is that she is the first to give the Negro an oppor- tunity to spenk for himself, ‘The dead- ly sin of slavery against the Negro was that it predetermined his life for him, marked the limits of his achieve- ments, and determined the quality of his contribution to the world, It said, “The Negro is this kind of man and can be no other.” Even as the years have gone by much of the world has continued to say, ‘The Negro is cap- able thus far and no farther. Hamp- ton said, ‘We do not know what the Negro is capable of, for he has never had an opportunity to speak for him- self. “[ glory In the fact that Hampton does not strive to teach you what to |think, but how to think for your- |selves; not what to say, but how to speak for yourselves, | Hampton. has taught you loyalty to your racial in- stinets ‘und your racial inheritances. “Pour into the word, ‘Negro’ all the definition of honor, of high and holy: aspiration, of splendid achievement, and hand’ it down to your children, hot as a curse, but as a blessing to those who are to come.” Dr. Moton, Speaks. Dr, Robert R. Moton, principal. of Tuskegee Institute, declared that Gen- eral Armstrong hoped that “through Hampton's work there would come a |better understanding between | the North and South and a more sytpa- thetic and helpful relation between the two races”—and the hope has been realized. Dr. Moon said: “While we do not overlook the need and value of other systems of edu- cation, it Is evident that the Hamp- ton type of education has more than proven its worth and justified its place in the scheme of national prog- ress, We have found that the trained man is a contributing factor in de- veloping the vast resources of the country, ‘The South is, therefore, no longer’ willing to tolerate ignorance, awkwardness or fawning stupidity in either black or white, which retards human progress and hampers national prosperity. ‘The world today cares no less about what you know, but it in- sists upon what you can do and how well you ean do it. “I have never seen a more earnest desire and effort on the part, not only of the leading white people, but also the average white person In the South, that the Negro should be treated fatr- ly and justly, educationally as well ais in other Ways, and no people in our country are more chagrined and humiliated when injustice is done than this yery large element of Southern white people. Gratitude to Hampton. “I am grateful to Hampton Insti- tute because it has encouraged the buying and more intelligent cultivation of land among my people. It has also deepened our love and appreciation of country life, Tam thankful to Hamp- ton because it has encouraged and de- veloped a higher type of artisan among: the members of my rice. It has also stimulated a greater and more per- sistent and a more intelligent indus- trial life among us. ‘Through Hamp- ton, we have more captains of in- dustry, with many more contractors and builders. Our people have also been taught to exercise greater econ- omy and .hrift and there has been. created a stronger desire for better homes and schools, with larger eduen- tional aspirations and opportunities. 1 am also thankful for the large contri- bution that Hampton, directly and in- directly, through its large army of graduates and former students, has made to the educational ideals of the nation. “In other words, Hampton has, more than any other single institution, first, taught the dignity, beauty and grand: enr-and the absolute necessity for decent surroundings; to have first Inside Information! ‘The bloated Boston bondhold- ers of the dirty rotten Tram- way System met in Gerald Hughes’ office on Tuesday and agreed to support to the limit Mr. Cass ©, Herrington for mayor of Denver. It was unan- imously agreed that Mr. Her- rington would be more friendly to the Tramway Co. than Mr. Dewey C. Bailey, and therefore their coin must’ be distributed for Herrington's benefit. Where id I get the information? Ask me how I now have all the in- side tips on what Hildy Dink is trying to put over. Come over and see the Ludlow pic- tures furnished by a friend of Cass. He eats with him yet he wants to see “Cash” put in the political scrap heap. There seems to be a little deal of some kind between the owners of ‘Tram stock and this Ludlow hero. Some connection that smelis of coin. Some irresist- ible force to put this bankrupt company on Denver at a fabu- lous price, and I'm going to spike their game and keep the big hogs from getting both feet jn the City Hall trough. Mr. Cass B. Herrington is sucking water thru the same quill that Bon & Tam have used for years to lower the liquid in the pond of discontent. How much is your price to throw Bailey? ‘What office do you want if I'm elected? What place in society can I hand your wife in order to get you to say Mr. Bailey is an A. P. A. or a son—— — +—? Can't you see this man Her- rington, who called the !abor- ing men who gathered at the Civic Center on Monday a gang of Bolshevists thru the Denver Pest’s mouthpiece? Just why there should be one labor vote cast for Herrington, the most useless citizen in Denver for the working man, is beyond my power of conception. Think of the rotten deal pulled off Sat- urday evening when a number of houses were raided and red inked in the yellow sheets as houses of ill fame and thou- sands of papers sent to every part of the United States, giv- ing Denver a black eye ft will take the people years to over- come. Think of what tourists coming to Denver will think of this city’s morals after reading of the bad women by the hun- Greds accosting every man who crossed a dark street. Think of what little children may make out of the Post articles of defamation, scandal and po- luted charges. My God, will we ever rid this city of these pestiferous rats? I hope you may not be misguided at this election, but vote for Bailey as mayor of Denver.

No decent, self-respecting Amer- ican can or should ask more.” Interesting Addresses. Dr. Lucien E. Warner brought greetings from the Anierican Mission- ary Association, the “mother of Hamp- ton Institute,” ‘which, in 1867, at the request of Samuel G, Armstrong, bought the tract of 157 acres on which the Hampton school has been built. “Hampton Institute,” he said, “through the introduction of the industrial idea in education, Has taught educators of this and other countries how best to train the masses.” Addresses were made by three mem- bers of the class of 1919, Wendell L. Johnson, Lexington, Ky., spoke on “The Negro as A Patriotic American.” Helen FE. Cornish, Petersburg, Va., gave a demonstration op “The Prep- aration of an Invalid’s Tray,” and Columbus K. Simango, Molsetter, So. Rhodesia, South Africa, spoke on “The Life of a South African.” Homer L. Ferguson, president and xeneral manager of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company, was elected to membership on the Hampton Institute Board of ‘Trustees. The board has authorized the institu- tion of an advanced two-year teacher- training course, on the recommenda- tion of Dr. James E. Gregg. Dr. Gregg announced the following gifts: From the family of Robert C. Ogden, appropriate platform furniture for the completion of “Ogden Hall ;” from the. family of Capt. Charles B.

A Love Letter Accidentally Found On the Street My own Sweetheart :— Our wedding day is almost here. By this time next week I will be your wife.

She said I could have it and I know she will be surprised and delighted when she hears how much I will be allowed for it on a new machine. I had been reading the adver- tisements of The FREE sew- ing machine, saying they would trade in old machines and allow a full legitimate value for them. I hurried down to the store immediately. The loveliest machine I ever saw stood on the floor. I was sure I was looking at a piece of parlor furniture and would not be- lieve it was a sewing machine till the salesman opened it and said—‘‘Just sit down and try it to see how you like it.”” Surprised — well say —I did UT tae Pe ay eee | CE DENVER Dry Go0DS C0 | (ADVERTISEMENT) Neen ROBERT A.

We are glad to note the success of this family and hope the same continues. Jerry Chisolm closed a deal this week for the purchase of a modern ten-room house, situated at 2530 Clarkson street. Mr. Chisolm is one of our representative pioneer citizens, who believes in the "own-your-own-home" movement and is helping to set the example. Amendment No. 4, providing for the changing of the present city charter is worthy of support as it places the power in the hands of the people to elect the majority of city officials instead of the present form of appointment. It also provides for wages for city laborers, the same should not be less than $3.50 per day. Some of the city's best and leading citizens are behind this reform, and according to general opinion IT LOOKS VERY MUCH SO. Sergeant J. G. Baxter of Company E. Twenty-fifth Infantry, Nogales, Arizona, who spent his furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, of Twenty-seventh and California streets, was one of the participants of a reception and smoker given for the benefit of the men returning from leave. A program consisting of songs, addresses, boxing exhibition, winding up with a supper and dance, offered a pleasant entertainment to the man and their wives, and the officers of the company and other guests were delighted with the management, who provided such an excellent treat. The parents of Sgt. Baxter are citizens of Denver and we know they are elated over their son's army record. The Dewey C. Bailey League had a great time last evening at East Turner Hall, when an immense crowd listened with much interest to Mr. Bailey and his staff of speakers, including Hon. John W. Springer, Dr. William H. Sharpley and others. Mr. Bailey, without any attempt at oratorical display, went straight into facts about Denver and Denver's citizens, giving the proofs of his department's contribution to the suppression of crime and the peace and order prevailing now in the community. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook was chairman of the meeting and acted in his usual characteristic mode, emphasizing on the very large audience the time for special interest and interest collectively is now. Let us grasp the opportunity. Morrison's orchestra was in attendance, discoursing sweet strains and afterwards refreshments were served. J.

He is a graduate of the Denver schools, the University of Colorado, and a member of the Denver Bar. Mr. Mills has just returned from fifteen months' overseas service, in the U. S. army, and the only candidate having served in the U. S. army in France. His experience in the office of Election Commissioner and his education especially qualify him to fill the position. Give him your vote for this office. Very truly yours, JOSEPH D. D. RIVERS. DEWEY C. BAILEY AT CITY AUDIORIUM TONIGHT. Everybody is invited to the Bailey meeting at City Auditorium tonight; when Mr. Bailey and other speakers will give the public the last opportunity to hear the planks in the Bailey platform. The speakers have such a plain and clear cut truth to disclose that the interested voter will see to safeguard his interests in the community is the best plan and therefore he should cast his vote for men who are capable of guiding the city's destiny to success. Let every voter be present and pack the auditorium tonight. COLORED VOTER! HOW IS THIS FOR NONPARTISANSHIP? The Rocky Mountain News of Wednesday, seeing defeat imminent for its candidate, and victory for Dewey C. Bailey, declared in the following: "The claim is made by Democratic leaders that Cass Herrington will be the people's choice for mayor, this being based upon the fact THAT ALL OF THE DEMOCRATS ARE SOLIDLY BEHIND THE HERRINGTON PLATFORM." Voter, doesn't this last attempt remind you of President Wilson and his "great letter" of last year to the nation, prior to election last November? "Send back Democrats to the Congress if you want me to be your unembarrassed spokesman and the mouthpiece of the nation." Remember what we sent him? Do the same with this Democratic but nonpartisan machine in Denver next Tuesday, and let them know the people admire Dewey C. Bailey's nonpartisanship which means more than the passing idea of a Democrat. Vote the nonpartisan Dewey C. Bailey ticket. ODD FELLOWS' ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED WITH GREAT POMP. Nature, in the bestowal of her benefice, decreed a day with the finest weather conditions prevailing, so that members of the grand and noble Order of Oddfellows had an opportunity to demonstrate to the public as they marched in procession the beauty of the order on the external and at the service at Shorter Church, the great principles within its borders. Led by a band, which did justice to the occasion, from Odd Fellows' Hall, to Shorter A. M. E. Church, where a program of more than ordinary ability was rendered, the large audience as if in a chorus could be heard to say this is truly Odd Fellows' Day, and with the songs, instrumental solos, and the very impressive sermon of the Rev. A. M. Ward, supported by the presence and activity of the members of the household of Ruth and the youngsters of the juvenile lodges, surely Oddfellowship hit the high water mark of fraternal societies in our city. Dr. S. A. Huff, orator of the day, was in his usual masterly manner and captivated his hearers. Thus the members of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows passed another milestone in their journey only to continue on the road of success and help to humanity with renewed efforts and greater zeal. A large offering was taken up, and guided by the generosity that this order is famous for, the same was distributed between the Church and the Day Nursery and Colored Woman's Club Home. Y. M. C. A. NOTES An interested group of men and women attended he third lecture in the educational series last Friday evening to hear Prof. C. P. Bigelow speak on "The Peace Treaty and the League of Nations." The lecturer was thoroughly conversant with his subject, and presented it in a masterly and interesting form. The discussion on the part of the audience which always follows the speaker's address, was very interesting and helpful. The subject for this week will be "The Attitude of Japan and Italy in the Peace Conference," and will be presented by State College Y. M. C. A. Secretary Heib. On Friday evening of the 23rd, Dr. Martley, a prominent surgeon, will speak on "Wonders That Have Come to Medicine as a Result of the Great War." Mothers' Day was fittingly observed last Sunday afternoon in a program which was presented at the Scott M. E. Church. A novel and pleasing feature of the program was the presence of fifty children—thirty girls and twenty boys—all under twelve years of age, who formed a line of parade and marched from the Y building to the Church. Their behavior during the program was excellent. The program was interesting throughout, and the papers read and song rendered were excellent. The annual Field Day outing of the Y. M. and the Y. W. C. A. will be held on July Fourth, as it was too late to arrange for a Decoration Day outing. Secretary Oglesvie Lawson, who has just returned from Camp Funston, will be the principal speaker at the meeting next Sunday afternoon. Privates Oscar Taylor and William Evans from overseas, and Private Beard of the regular army, and others will also be present. All friends are invited. IN MEMORIAM. In sad and loving memory of my dear husband, Fred D. Ratley, who died one year ago, May 20, 1918. The silent stars keep watch over the lonely grave. Where lies the one I loved so well, and tried so hard, but could not save. Mrs. Frances Ratley, Mother and Family. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. East 23rd and Washington Streets. Presbyter, J. A. Thos.-Hazell, S. T. B. Sermon topics, Sunday, May 18th, 11 a. m., "The Peril of Falling Back"; 8:30 p. m., 'An Illogical Philosophy Used in Camping to Elect a Mayor." At the evening service tomorrow the minister will speak to the eligible voters of his Church and such others as are interested in the election of a mayor in Denver next week on some guiding principles that may be of use to them at the polls. Last Sabbath morning the congregation through Mrs. M. E. Morrison, presented Mr. W. A. Gatewood with a splendid new violin case as an expression of the services this exceptionally good church-worker has rendered and is rendering since enlisting his interest with the People's Church. Mr. Gatewood is a live wire in the activities of the Church. May his life be long spared to continue the work he is doing. SHORTER CHAPEL AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH. Twenty-third and Washington Streets, A.

It is one thing to establish industries; it is quite another thing to build up, develop and maintain them. An industry can be established by the investment of capital; its development and maintenance depend upon the attitude of the public toward the enterprise and toward the product. Likewise, the permanency of an institution depends upon the willingness of its customers to pay a sufficient price for its product to enable it to continue strong and healthy financially. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company's system of wires, furnishing the means of communication over mountains, plains and desert, is a tremendous factor in the development of the West. Telephone service is a "home product" of every community in the mountain states, and is woven into the very warp and woof of commercial and social life. The permanency and adequacy of telephone service depend upon the same factors as are involved in the security and permanency of every other established industry. With very, very few exceptions the people of the West recognize these principles and pursue a "live and let live" policy toward all legitimate business institutions.

A telephone line is being constructed between Hugo and Southern Lincoln county. This is the first line to be built through that section, and several hundred farmers will be patrons. Denver schools will close for the summer vacation on June 27th. A delay of several weeks was caused in the closing of the schools because of the enforced vacation of two months last fall on account of the influenza epidemic. John Lane, 73, and Margaret Richmond, 70, got a marriage license at La Junta. They were married once before when they were in their teens and reared a family. Twenty-five years ago they were divorced, and have lived apart since that time. Hoy Wong, pioneer and sightless habitue of Denver's Chinatown, is one of nine blind persons granted relief by the state under the terms of the blind benefit bill passed by the Twenty-second General Assembly. Wong will receive $300 a year. Five men were injured, three of them seriously, in the collapse of a new concrete bridge over irrigation ditch No. 2, nine miles northeast of Greeley. The men were removing the scaffolding when the structure crumbled and they were caught and buried in the ruins. The women of Breckenridge yanked Summit county over the top in the Liberty Loan right on time with the rest of the state. The county's quota was $30,300. The women alone brought in $32,300. There is now $43,350 subscribed to the loan in the banks of this county. Two new county high schools will be established in Adams county as a result of the school election held in that county. The schools are to be in the north and south ends of a district running north and south through Adams county, twenty miles east of Brighton. The total receipts from automobile licenses in Colorado for 1918 was approximately $345,000. It is estimated that license receipts will be doubled under the new automobile license law, which will mean a substantial increase in the road funds of the state and the several counties. Nearly one-fifth of the population of Denver were subscribers to the Victory Liberty Loan, according to statistics completed by the City Liberty Loan Committee. There was 45,159 subscribers, and the total raised in Denver was $13,525,350, about $100,000 in excess of the quota. Clifford S. Davis, the only Fremont county man as far as known who has been awarded the French Croix de Guerre for extraordinary valor in action, has arrived at his Cañon City home after twenty-three months of active service attached to both the French and American armies. One of the oldest buildings in Leadville, the Hyman Isaacs clothing, dry goods and household furnishings store, has collapsed. The building was erected in 1879 and was at first of logs, being one of the first two-story log business buildings in Leadville. It was remodeled about 1882 and a portion was bricked. If conditions remain as favorable until the wheat harvest as they have been up to the present time, Colorado will produce approximately 15,459,000 bushels of winter wheat in 1919, or nearly 2,000,000 bushels more than the combined production of winter and spring wheat for 1917, which was the largest crop ever grown in the state. George Southcotte, 60, pioneer of Colorado Springs and a wealthy real estate man, committed suicide by inhaling poison fumes. His body was found by a neighbor. Sixty years ago this spring, John H. Gregory discovered the elusive and much-rumored gold of Colorado in a gulch between Central City and BlackHawk. Sixty years ago the news was spreading around the Clear Creek district, percolating into the villages on the site of Denver and beginning the great Colorado gold rush. Alex Cooper, 70 years old, was arrested at Idaho Springs after he had shot a neighbor, Joe Bridges. The trouble arose over a burro owned by Bridges' son. The boy rode the canary to school and parked it in the school yard. Bridges, who was working directly across the street, saw Cooper untie it. He went over and asked him what he did it for. A quarrel followed and the old man drew a gun and shot Bridges, the bullet taking effect in the hip. Bridges took the gun away from the older man and gave him a terrific beating with it. Of the two, Cooper is the more severely injured. The Holly Sugar Company of Grand Junction, according to the annual report of its president, A. E. Carlton, registered a profit of $50,948.50 during the year ending March 31st. The total volume of business for the year was given at slightly less than $500,000. C. C. Lamb, acting president of the Western Slope Livestock and Fair Association, has called a meeting of the board of directors of that organization to meet in Grand Junction May 23rd. The fair will be held September 23rd to 26th. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Lambing now is under full swing throughout the San Juan basin and the sheepmen are receiving far better returns than they anticipated a few weeks ago. As a general rule, the annual lamb crop has averaged from 90 per cent to 120 per cent, but owing to the severe winter weather and the scarcity of feed it was predicted that this year's crop would be high if it averaged 60 per cent; whereas sheepmen now say the crop average will be from 75 per cent to 90 per cent. Nich Obroderich and George Gulich, miners who went from Silverton to Montrose, were arrested there and their grips searched. They were suspected of knowing something about the murder of Frank A. Carlson, of Denver, in Telluride. The men were arrested by Sheriff Gill and they stated they had come direct from Silverton and were going to Bingham Cañon, Utah, to work. Obroderich had a bloody handkerchief and a revolver in his grip and Gulich had a pair of brass knuckles. In order to prevent a recurrence of the winter's troubles of the fire department of Colorado Springs, which led to a walkout and later a recall election, the members of the fire department voluntarily requested the city council of that city to pass an ordinance preventing the formation of any union by the firemen. They also agreed to take no part in city politics, a radical change from that of the last few years. The council did not delay in passing the requested laws. The Great Western Sugar Company has authorized the building of a twenty-five-room addition to the new thirty-five-room hotel built by the company at Brighton last year. A fourapartment terrace will also be built by the company. The sugar company has built fifteen residences in Brighton during the past two years. Some of these properties cost more than $5,000 each. The great scarcity of houses in Brighton has made these improvements necessary. Up to May 1, $180,480.90 had been collected by the office of Secretary of State James E. Noland's office as corporation tax, known as flat tax, for 1919. During the corresponding period last year the amount received by the department was $175,170.02. This tax is now $10 on the first $100,000 worth of stock or fraction thereof, and $10 for each additional $1,000. About 10,000 corporations in Colorado and 800 from outside of the state have paid. At a rousing big meeting, attended by practically every leading citizen of Greeley, a committee was named and a campaign launched for a $150,000 soldier memorial to take the form of a municipal auditorium and civic center. It is proposed to raise funds by popular subscription for an auditorium seating 4,000 and with a banquet and trophy room, where the flags and war curios brought back by Greeley soldiers may be preserved. Mrs. Spencer Penrose of Colorado Springs has received the decoration of the Medaille de la Lizabeth from the king and queen of Belgium in recognition of her service for Belgium during the war. Mrs. Penrose is understood to have taken care of an entire Belgian town and to have rendered other services. So far as is known only one other American woman has received this honor. the jury which heard the case brought against Joe Riggio, his wife, Mrs. Joe Riggio, and their son, Mike Riggio, at Walsenburg, charged with the murder of Sam Naher, February 4, 1918, failed to agree and were discharged by Judge Hollenbeck. Attention paid Josie Riggio, daughter of the Riggios, is said to have caused the trouble leading to the killing of Naher. Demobilization of the war army has passed the 2,000,000 mark, General March, chief of staff, has announced, and the number of troops returned from France now exceeds 1,000,000. The great Revenue mine, producer of millions of dollars worth of rich silvir and gold ore in Ouray's heyday, has just been sold to eastern parties, according to announcement of C. R. Wiffley. Lately heavy ore bodies have been uncovered in the workings and the purchasers state that they are going to install modern machinery and build improvements to cost several hundred thousand dollars. Plans of the federal government to establish an experimental plant in western Colorado to aid in determining if oil can be profitably extracted in commercial quantities from the extensive oil shales which exist there, were communicated to Governor Shoup by James O. Lewis, chief petroleum technologist of the United States Bureau of Mines. Henry Barnham, 28 years old, a painter, was accidentally shot in the right eye, with a .22 caller rifle by Lloyd Dickens, 9-year-old son of W. A. Dickens, living one mile south of Longmont. Barnham was taking a stroll in the country and passed a field where young Dickens was shooting at a target. He was taken to Longmont by a party of autoists, Jack Alfreds, of Craig, received news of the death of his former partner, "Tex" Evans, at an army hospital in France. When Tex went to Rock Springs to enlist eighteen months ago, he told his partner that his soldier insurance policy was to be made out to him, and several months later Mr. Alfreds received the policy. Evans was in the hospital four months ago and it was thought had recovered from an attack of pneumonia, but it is evident that he had a relapse, as the notice received stated that he died March 16. The KITCHEN CABINET We have a choice, a glorious opportunity. We can take the great, bruised and broken work in our arms and though were a sick child and mother it back to health again, or we can trade upon its weakness and grow fat upon its need. It is the common foods which we serve oftenest and which should be served in as attractive form as possible. The real genius of a cook is shown in the manner she serves and the attention she gives to the commonplace things. If the meal as tive form as possible. The real genius of a cook is shown in the manner she serves and the attention she gives to the commonplace things. If the meal as planned (main dish, salad and dessert) does not seem to be sufficiently nourishing, precede it with a hot soup. A thick vegetable purée served with crackers is a meal in itself. If croutons or bread is served the food value is even higher. Our economical dinners which we are trying to serve to conserve both food and money, must meet the requirements of the family by being hearty and satisfying as well as good to look at. A few spoonfuls of leftover oat meal may be stirred into the morning griddle cakes, or muffins, or it may be fried and served with a bit of bacon, making a most tasty breakfast dish. Save time by cooking enough oatmeal for several meals. It may be reheated, adding boiling water and tastes as well as if freshly cooked. Split Pea Soup.—Soak two cupfuls of dried peas over night, drain and cover with two quarts of water, cook slowly with one small chopped onion, three stalks of celery, a few sprigs of parsley, one carrot. Cook two slices of salt pork ten minutes then add to the pea mixture. Add two tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter, and when well cooked add two cupfuls of milk; combine with the vegetables and cook five minutes. Coconut Bread Pudding.—Soak a pint of bread crumbs in a pint of milk, add three tablespoonfuls of coconut and another pint of milk. Sweeten with four tablespoonfuls of sugar, add one-third of a cupful of raisins, a pinch of salt and three beaten eggs. Flavor with lemon rind and pour into a baking dish. Set in hot water and bake slowly until the custard is set. Three things to wish for—health, friends and a loving spirit. There are three things really worth while—be good, do good and always smile. GOOD THINGS FROM MILK. When cornmeal can be procured freshly ground, the dishes made from it will be so superior in flavor that one will ever care for the denatured cornmeal in common use. It will not keep long because of the germ, which quickly turns rancid, but with a small mill one may grind it as one needs the meal. ROSE TEA Cornmeal Cooked in Milk.—Scald four cupfuls of milk and gradually sift in three-fourths of a cupful of cornmeal, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, stirring until well mixed. Cover and cook in a double boiler one hour. Serve as a dessert with cream, or with milk as a full meal. Buttermilk Sherbet.—Dissolve three-fourths of a cupful of sugar in three cupfuls of buttermilk, add three-fourths of a cupful of grated pineapple and the juice of two lemons. Freeze as usual. Buttermilk Jelly. — Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of granulated gelatin in cold water, then set over steam until entirely melted; add the juice of two oranges, the juice of a lemon, and then add three cupfuls of buttermilk which has been mixed with three-fourths of a cupful of sugar. Let stand until firm. Grape Juice Bavarian.—Mix one and one half tablespoonfuls of gelatin with two tablespoonfuls of water and half a cupful of grape juice. Dissolve one-half cupful of sugar in one cupful of boiling water; bring to the boiling point and pour onto the gelatin mixture. Add three tablespoonfuls of lemon juice; let cool and slightly thicken, then fold in three-fourths of a cupful of sour cream, whipped. Nellie Maxwell Acquired Hauteur.

All ‘soft-draping fabrics lend them- selves to the new styles in afternoon frocks because style tendencies in these and evening gowns are all toward fabries that fall softly about the figure and make for slender lines. ‘There are a good many riaterials that make drapery of this description; certain weaves fn satin and foulards, new weaves In other silks, chiffon cloth and crepes and all the fine nets and laces. These two last mentioned, made up with satin or georgette, are aceredited as the most fascinating afternoon gowns in all the fair company of beautiful frocks for summer. Two lovely examples of new gowns for afternoon wear bear out the asser- tions of the admirers of lace and soft draping fabrics, and are shown in the picture above. Starting out with lace and a supple, figured silk, the gown at the left adds to these advantages an original and simple design, and when these things are joined they spell distinetion. Looking at this frock one wonders that there are not more like it. Embroidered net makes the short yoke und the top of the sleeves and from this the body of the gown flows to the feet. A wide frill of lace falls in a very seant flounce about the bot- tom of the skirt. The management of the waist line Is novel and beautiful, with narrow bands of the fabric looped over in a loose girdle at each side. A more elaborate frock, shown at the right, is of lace flouncing and georgette with the lace used for the upper part of the bodice und for the sleeves. It falls over the front of the skirt in three tiers and at the back In a full short tunic, An important item in this dress is the narrow girdle of grosgrain rib- bon with picot edge that has four hang- ing ends, finished with looped heads. ‘Two of these ends hang to the ankle, and two are shorter. No one should overlook beads and the new bead fringes in planning’ evening and aft- ernoon frocks, ‘This model is very narrow about the ankle but draped so as to admit suffictent freedom in walk- Ing. It is fashionably uneven at the bottom and is worn over a thin silk slip.

There are angel sleeves of chiffon and a long strand of small pearls about the neck, The bouquet 1s of lilies of the valley and white orchids. ‘This 1s a splendid con- ception of the bridal costume but there are visions of bridal loveliness in which white daisies replace orchids and tulle vies with rich Ince, In less regal but not less beautiful costumes. Even when the matter of expense 1s not reckoned with, tulle, more often than lace, is chosen for the veil. Crepe georgette, exquisite and beau- tiful in itself, 1s perfect as a fabric for the wedding gown, whether It Is to be simple or otherwise. Nets and laces are, and always have been, ap- propriate for it, draped over satin or other foundations. ‘The wedding gown may be splendid, or it may be simple, or anywhere be- tween so long as it is chic, and the veil, or other headdress, must at least measure up to it. Long custom has resulted in an unwritten law that the gown must have sleeves and must not be decollette; except for these vague limitations the bride has little to ham- per her in cholce of styles, But it Is a good thing to bear in mind that the best of all wedding gowns are simple in design, however intricate and ex- quisite In finish they may be. Shown above is a wedding gown, ‘rom a nationally famous designer, hat merits its description as superb. Zet the design could hardly be less simple. It has a skirt and long square -rain of duchesse satin, with a chiffon cunje over it, embroidered in crystal yeads.
