THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE RACE PROBLEM AND DOMESTIC SERVICE VOL. XXVI. THE significance of this meeting is that you are young Southern white men and women," said Mrs. Booker T. Washington in addressing the twenty or more Phelps-Stokes Fellows and professors in Southern universities who met recently at Tuskegee Institute, "and you are going to live in the South, which will give you an opportunity to do much good in bringing about better relations between the races. "I remember hearing Mr. Washington and one of his Southern white friends discussing one day another white man of outstanding influence and importance. This friend was telling Mr. Washington how the man they were discussing had changed in his attitude towards the Negro. It pleased Mr. Washington very much to know this but he added: 'It is such a pity that he waited until he was an old man before changing. With his influence and power, just think what he could have accomplished for the cause while he was young and active.' That is the reason I am so glad you are studying this problem with your minds and hearts open while you are young." White and Colored Women Must Work One of the speakers who preceded Mrs. Washington was Miss Ruth Reed of Gainesville, Georgia, who is a Phelps-Stokes Fellow at the University of Georgia, and she suggested a joint study of the problem by the white and colored women of the South. Mrs. Washington in her remarks concurred in this suggestion and added, "The stand which the Southern white woman takes in the question will in the last analysis determine the attitude of the Southern white man." Then she told of the splendid work of the (white) Federation of Women's Clubs of Georgia in arousing and spreading a strong sentiment against lunching and mob violence. Mrs. Washington also referred to Miss Reed's comments on the Negro woman and domestic service. "Home life for the slaves," said Mrs. Washington, "was not a part of the system of slavery, so I am afraid that much of the misunderstanding between the servant and the mistress in the Southern homes has been due to the fact that although we are over fifty years removed from slavery in many of the Southern homes sufficient attention is not given to the question of providing home life for the colored girls who are employed as domestic servants." "I remember sometime ago receiving a letter from a city in the South in which the request was made for a colored girl to work in the home, and when I wrote the lady asking her what provision would be made for the girl to sleep and bathe and for something of homelife for herself, she replied, that she thought the girl could find some place to live in the community, but she, of course, was not sure. "I refer to this letter because it describes a condition which is doing much to make domestic service unpopular among the educated and welltrained Negro girls. Our schools, our current literature and our organizations for social welfare are all emphasizing care of the children, protection of girls and model home life. These, to my mind, emphasize the importance of providing as much home life as possible for the girls in domestic service in order to attract colored women who are being trained in schools like Tuskegee. "Frequently," added Mrs. Washington, "our students here go into domestic service as a means to an end, but some of them have had experiences such as I have indicated which have caused them to make up their minds to do school teaching or any other work rather than do domestic service. If I had time to relate some of the experiences of these young women, of their neglect, of their exposure, and of their loneliness, you would understand some of the reasons why the problem of domestic help is so aggravated at present."

WOMEN WHO HAVE CHOSEN POLITICAL AFFILIATION GIVE VALUABLE HINTS TO THOSE STILL SEEKING PARTY TIE With New Responsibility Resting Upon Them, Newest Voters Who Have Hitherto Given Little Heed to Political View, Welcome Statements from Those Who Have Canvassed the Party Achievements and Decided Where to Cast Their Lot. NOW that the responsibility of voting is upon them, many women who have hitherto given little heed to politics are seeking information to help them decide which party they shall join. The statements of those who have already decided, therefore, have much interest to women in general. Mrs. Henry M. Youmans, who has recently accepted the associate chairmanship of the Republican State Central Committee of Wisconsin, has answered the oft-repeated question, "Why are you Republican," and in an open letter to the women of her state says: "Because I have for years been president of a strictly non-partisan organization, the Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage Association, and have now joined the Republican party and am working for its success, I am frequently asked why. This letter answers that question. "The Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage Association was necessarily non-partisan. It included in its membership women of all shades of political faith, and it appealed to men and women of equal differences. Non-partisanship is the only right and proper stand for such an organization. "But the situation changes radically when the ballot is won. Wisconsin women are already partially enfranchised, and will be fully enfranchised within a few months. The question before us now is how best to use our hardly won ballots. Shall we join a party, and if so, which one, or shall we remain independent? It is a question demanding serious consideration by every woman. "I have decided for the Republican party for reasons which appear to me conclusive. The government of this country is carried on by parties. I do not see how a government of the people can be carried on in any other way except by the people forming themselves into groups and parties, each group bound together by a common belief in some fundamental principle to meet changing conditions. Many people who criticize political parties are really only desirous of another party based on their own special views. "I believe with increasing fervor each day in education, especially education for citizenship. Viewing that section of the country where Republican principles prevail and that section where they do not exist, I take chances for the promotion of education with the Republican party. "I want the best and wisest industrial legislation for men, women and children, and the best moral regulations, especially for the protection of young girls. Again I look abroad, compare the laws in the Republican states with the laws in non-Republican states and have my choice confirmed." "I choose the Republican party because that party, in Wisconsin and in the nation, makes me a voter. I NO.19 am grateful but I am not bonding my political future to gratitude. By enfranchising women the Republican party showed itself to be possessed both of a sense of justice and a progressive spirit. That is the kind of party I want to work with." "COLORED HENRY WARD BEECHER." Addresses Americanization Conference on "The Cure of Race Troubles and Riots." WILLIAM Pickens, associate field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, known for his oratory as the "Colored Henry Ward Beecher," was to address the Christian Americanization Conference in Philadelphia today (February 12). Mr. Pickens, who won the Ten Eyck Oratorical prize for oratory from a class of 300 men at Yale University, recently resigned as dean and vice president of Morgan College in order to join the Advancement Association's staff. "The chief cause of race riots in the United States," said Mr. Pickens, "is the attitude of mind in the white public toward the Negro race. "As long as an intelligent and religious white man discriminates against the Negro race, regardless of individual merit, the ignorant and irreligious white man will do the same—but that ignorant and irreligious white man will be coarser and more brutal in his dealings with the Negro. "The politician in Washington attemps to lynch the Negro civilly and politically; the man at home in Texas as attempts to lynch him with a rope. The one lynches him in soul, the other in body. If where the Negro is concerned, the senator respects no law, human or divine as one of them said, then the lynching of the Negro is the most logical thing in the country. "The better classes of both races must deliberately and consciously seek out co-operation and acquaintance with each other's aspirations, needs, worth. Interracial committees should exist wherever there is an appreciable number of colored people, to promote interracial amity. And any organized effort to affect the race problem in any particular, must be along the lines of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—that is it must consist of both white and colored men, deliberately pursuing this solution. Neither race can settle the matter alone. The white man has already failed in that method$^2$ the Negro need not try it. Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 4.—Suppose Temple and Sanitarium Commission of Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, with Supreme Chancellor Green presiding, purchased two fifty-two and one-half feet more frontages on Malverne avenue and closed plans for the completion of bathhouse and sanitarium to cost $135,000.

Gunnison county, in co-operation with the United States and the state of Colorado, will reconstruct the Blue Mesa road, on the Rainbow route, from Cebolla to Cimarron at an expenditure of $90,000. The United States will furnish funds for this purpose to the amount of $45,000, the state $22,500, and the county $22,500.

We have all defended what we believed to be the interest of our countries, but never has the necessity of a common under- standing been lost sight of. I further believe that we are all agreed today |to say that the special interests of each nationality must be considered and |Feepocted there cannot be a tranquil Europe if the rights of each one are not recognized. I have been sometimes reproached for making too many concessions. ‘The same reproach has been made against other heads of governments, but I am calm in the knowledge—and I am eure you all are—of never having been guided in stating my opinions or in the conclusions we have reached, except by the single idea that the nations who shed so much blood had the ‘right, first of all, to have their national claims satisfied and then to have those claims reconciled each to the other and embodied in one great peace | inspired by common interest. | I shall not lose sight of the peace we are completing and shall continue to follow its progress until my last breath. I shall try by all good wishes a east to do all in my power for the solidity of that peace, for, indeed, |if by misfortune the elements of discord should arise among you, how ter- |rible the thought that the best blood of the civilized world, the blood of our |soldiers, should be shed in vain for hopes that would not be realized. Experts tell us that insanity is increasing 300 times faster than the population in this country. I don’t believe it. I am not alarmed about that, but I am tremendously alarmed about something that I know is in- creasing, even if insanity isn’t, and that is feeble-mindedness, moronism, degeneracy. You can talk about immigration laws all you are a mind to. I don’t care whether a man can read or write. I want to know before we let him in this land of ours whether there is imbecility, insanity, feeble- ‘mindedness or moronism in his veins. If there is, then I want the gates ‘losed absolutely against him. We have all we can absorb in a thousand | years and get away with. Feeble-mindedness and moronism and degeneracy are at the root of 75 per cent of all our social problems, whether that be inebriety, pauperism, criminality or prostitution. We have labored under the delusion that in America we had a mystic melting-pot, that you could put anything in it you wanted to and get 100 per cent, good, sound, wholesome, red-blooded, pure-blooded Americans out of it, but it is a lie. You know we don’t get it and you know it now to your sorrow. When you take the feeble-minded, degenerate stock of south- ern Europe and mix it up in the American matrimonial melting-pot it doesn’t go. It comes out a crippled, weak and degenerate stock which can- not be altered by the institutions of democracy. We have gone go far to protect the weak against the strong that legis- ‘Jation will be demanded in the next generation to protect the strong against the weak, for the weak threaten us now with a sociological deluge of race “defectiveness.

OT so much for the results it brings the advertiser, or the benefits N derived by the newsnaper man, but the wholesome intellectual de- velopment that is being afforded the public, as publicity agents, ad- vertising heads of firms, are in fact engineers of the progressive civilization now being enjoyed. as the information given out in whatever chanael it may be comes from a well trained, highly cultivated and well balanced source. The former glancing or cursory look at advertisements has changed to a diligent study of the matter printed, and instead of being delighted with the mere reproduction of the composition given him, the newspaper man joins the public in becoming a beneficiary of the broad- ened mind and increased knowledge that these specialists are offering in their advertising matters. To our mind, there is quite a reciprocity action far beyond the mere publicity of goods or stocks and the monetary return, as from the expressions of our correspondents and the verbal or written accounts of the mental and moral uplift they acquire from the weight of thought, language, ete., we can agree with the editors and newspaper men of the present day that the old expression, “It pays to advertise,” carries a far greater meaning with readers and newspaper patrons of today, and is ever increasing in its valuable impressions being made on the community. Here's a great field for our youths and an opportunity for their mental development, We trust some one will make the start. ANOTHER KIND WORD FOR US IN SEASON. N EDITORIAL of the Denver Times Tuesday, the 17th inst., under the A hending, “A ‘Traveler's View of Negroes,” ives the impressions and opinions of an Englishman on the Negro of America, and not only does it offer interesting reading for the usual reader of newspaper edi- torials, but it gives another confirmation to the long established expres- sion that the Negro, abused, denounced, despised, kicked around or what- ever you may term it, always is of some help in the solution of problems of the greatest importance to races, nations and governments, and while in the majority of instances credit is not given, now and again from a minority source or a traveling individual, a word, an expression, a fact is given out which gets the quiet “Yea” or the soft approval from our white neighbors. Now this impression made on the visitor, and this opinion offered from the ‘bloomin’ Englishman’ (as he is generally styled around these quarters) may not necessarily be ascribed to his sense of fair play and love for humanity (as his treatment of the Negro in South Africa and other parts of the world today does not show superiority to the American's treatment here), but possibly his realization that if the white race of the earth, especially the English-speaking, must maintain their dominant position, retain the mastery, and be the standard of world civilization, they must demonstrate a better feeling, presenting another front to the darker races, and in spite of blood, birth, race or caste credit the man, the people for their contribution to civilization, and make them be sharers of the benefits resulting therefrom. ‘The traveler, Stephen Graham by name, tramped through the Southern states for the purpose of studying the American Negro with a view to getting more light on the Russian situation, this peculiar undertaking being based on the fact that both the Negroes and the serfs of Russia were emancipated about the same time, and Mr. Graham considered that a study of the condition and progress among the Negroes might be of value in understanding some of the problems of Russian life.” This quotation from the article shows that we can be used to determine other people's destiny or solve their problems today as we did in the years gone by, and we are glad that Mr. Graham went into the South where he could get at the real conditions, of the “stage performance” his white brother, out of his “generosity,” is playing to our people, Visiting them in the cotton fields and on the farms as well as in the schools, ete., this Englishman commends our Negro brothers for their ability for music, dancing, composing stories and their réligious tendencies, and after expressing his opinion that “Uncle Tom's Cabin” is not of much value to the race, he goes on to say that the time may come when from among the black men will arise a writer who will rival Dickens in the telling of stories grave and gay. “The English yisitor believes from his talk with the Negroes in the cotton fields and elsewhere,” continues the editorial, “‘that much of the discontent and trouble among them is due to lack of tact and friendliness of the whites in dealing with them, and his experience left him with the feeling that much of the restlessness could be removed were the difficulties existing handled with greater judgment and a kindlier spirit.” We are quite in accord with this belief of Mr. Graham, as we have endeavored all these years and have not given up trying to make it clear that if the white man would really indulge in this tact and judgment con- Gitions would long ago have been ameliorated between the races, not only in the South but throughout the entire country. Strange though it may seem, but nevertheless true, this black race can always afford some help to tide the other fellow over his difficulty or bring happiness to his existence, but when it comes to the “‘Self-helpful scene” in the act, oh what a miserable failure! We are quite aware of the cause. He holds the loaf before the grated bars with its close-fitting latticework and bids you take it—THE IMPRACTICABLE. He pats you on the shoulder, praises you for your patriotism, your helping to make the world safe for democracy, at the same time dividing the racial solidarity by saying to one class of us, “You are better than your -brother,” resulting in disunion that can bring nothing but internal racial cangeucn cant accomplish anything.

If one day these nations are separated I dare not think of the misfortunes which may result. We arrived here somewhat disconcerted by the gravity of the problems set and the difficulty of settling them. When fighting the enemy all necessarily were in agreement, each joyfully giving his life for his coun- try. But it is not necessarily the same when one meets to calculate and realize the fruits of victory and to Machinery Must Replace Men That the City Takes Away From the Farm. By A. R. KROH, Automobile Tire Manufacturer. Every thinking man will agree that the most effective way to adjust the cost of living in this country is to increase production with a reduced cost. Eight million people have moved from American farms to the city since 1900. Our population has increased 21 per cent since 1899, but the increase in production of food in that same period has been less than 10 per cent. No nation has ever been able to enact legislation forcing people to remain on the farms. We are not able to do it in America. The only solu- tion to the problem is more modern methods and improved machinery. In many communities in the United States farmers now are compelled to pay harvest hands as much for a single day’s labor as the same man could be hired for a full month in 1880. Everything the farmer buys is costing him more money. With such a condition existing he cannot be expected to sell food to the consuming population at the price he did under the old regime. If we are unable to stem the tide of depleted rural and increased city population there is only one solution, and that is modern machinery. The tractor or motor truck alone cannot solve the problem. Complete motorization of farms, including stationary gas engines, tractors, and mo- tor trucks, is our only salvation. Machinery must be made to do the work of human hands that are hard to get and all too costly. The complete notorization of farms has been proyen economical in innumerable instances in the central agricultural section of the United States. This argument is no longer based upon theory, but upon facts. Power machinery eats only when it works, and then a commodity that is pumped from beneath the surface of the soil and cannot be used as food. When machinery stands idle the only expense is interest on the investment. Feeble Mindedness and Moronism Are at the Root of Our Social Problems. By DR. WILLIAM S. SADLER, Chicago. F. W. Ives, Vice-President American Society of Agricultural Engineers —The future of American farming lies not in more intensive cultivation of small acreage, but in the extension of the acreage one man can bring under cultivation. What the American farm needs is the replacement wherever possible of hand labor by machine. th © & D | SS ( Ie See fA TRH Os fod JQ “ff ae CF a ay) we reo Sy mS} Since we bought our Electric Washer and my wash-day worries are over, I’ve a lot more time and energy to devote to my children.

P. 'T. Bullard surely merits the name “globe trotter,” as after two and 2 half months’ trip to the East and South he has covered a few thousand miles. Mr, Bullard struck old Phila- delphia, Baltimore, his old home St. Louis, where he had the pleasure of remaining two weeks, then snow and ice-bound New York, St. Paul and Min- neapolis, returning last Saturday the better off for his trip. Fred Lankford arrived last Tuesday from New York on an emergency visit after an absence of thirteen months and looking every inch a representa- tive of good health. He reports that our people are coming in for their own in the great metropolis and if they only resolve to save a little of their earnings they will soon be classified among the progressive business agents of the country, Mr. Lankford is quite a musician and well known to orches- tra cireles here, having been leading tango banjoist for some years. James Gist, accompanied by Messrs. Franklin, Childress, Berry and McEl- roy, left the city last Wednesday and returned Saturday after serving the members of the Automobile Storage Battery Association in convention at Manitou, Colo. Mr. B. B. Nichols, pro- prietor of the Cliff Hotel, and one of the leading hotel men of the West, ex- pressed much pleasure for the serv- ices the men rendered in their capacity as waiters, and it is highly probable that colored waiters may insure the summer season at this popular and fashionable hostelry. Another lesson where “Give your best and the best shall return to you” is evidenced. The War Camp Community Serv- ice completed its war work through- out the country January 31, 1920. ‘The Community Service is planning to take its place. No one denies the good that the War Camp Community Service did in maintaining the Sail- ors and Soldiers’ Clubs over the country. The spirit of each working for the good of the whole was mani- fested in a large degree, and the country hopes to carry on by means of the Community Service. All cities and communities are making effort to support the move within its own gates, and Denver has worked out a plan and has many of ‘its best citizens supporting it. The colored population of all cities with a suffictent population are trying to play thelr part. The colored people of Denver have had one of the Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Clubs, and it has been kept open, and hope to keep it open as the Community Service.

As a unit in the great Bell System it is universal in the scope of its service. { It has the biggest, hardest work imaginable, for it has as many . persons to please as has the President of the United States. | ‘The past few years have been full of perplexing and disappointing 3 problems and conditions. No business organization can be any more perfect than the combined intelligence, sincerity and industry ! of its human management. A corporation is subject to all the trials and tribulations of the individual, but in an increasing ratio to its magnitude and responsibilities. There is no avenue of human activity that has not been paved with sacrifice during the past four years; there isn’t an individual who has not contributed in some way to the winning of the world’s | greatest war at discomfort to himself and by voluntary self-denial, and every business organization has contributed its tithe of service. , Out of the chaos of the world a new day dawns pregnant with promise of a happier condition of affairs. As you look forward to a more prosperous, brighter era, the Telephone Company looks for- ward to increased efficiency, better service, and, above all, to pleased and satisfied patrons. : THE MOUNTAIN STATES TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO.

From high up in the citadel I looked down into the heart of it. ‘The sun, half hidden by a ‘cloud, sent streaks of flame across the ‘pearl-gray sky. Within the shadowy girdle of the hills a rainbow haze en- meshed the valley. It melted the red and yellow of the peaked roofs that crowded by the streams of flowing gold, thinning where the waters met. There in the weird and mystic light lay the unreal earth, and I was far away—up there alone in reality, Sud- denly I longed for some one else to look with me and feel the eerie beauty of it all, ‘The loneliness pinched at my heart and made it ache. And then a yoice within the stones behind’ me cried: “I built this elta- del long centuries ago, and every duy I've watched the Journey of the sun from morn till night, I've watched the people living underneath those peaked roofs, You cannot see them; you have not my eyes. Always I watch the peo- ple of Numur.” ‘The voice did not seem strange to me. It was au answer to my longing for some one, I feared that It might go—might leave me there alone above the wonderland. I begged It: “Tell me what you've seen, what you are seeing now.” “Oh, I can’t tell you, It takes too long; but something—yes. You see that house down near the church. the = xu rr] a HOR aye ibs Bb ae de ped | ik oe 3 wey A a's rN Pn al kets yee ve Y- no (Ge iene MPs ae 5 LAO RE, slesanicc ore ae . gs eile. et ea gee. ee hc Og et he OA a alti wa D ai a white one with green shutters and red roof? It’s just a little higher than the rest. You cannot see the canopy be- fore te door. I'll tell you why it’s there. “Five years ago the troops were or- dered out to fight invaders from across the Rhine. To that house came Mar- cel Duval to tell bis Jeanne ‘Good- by.’ ‘They were to have been married the next month, and it was very hard for them to part. Marcel had light hair and blue eyes; he could talk Ger- man better than the rest, and he was not to fight with gun and sword, but with the cunning of his mind—to be a spy. “I looked down at them as they stood before the house. ‘The evening wrapped them close, but I could see Jeanne’s eyes were wet—gray, like the twilight woven through the mist. Her dark head pressed against his coat. The circle of her arms gleamed white about his neck. ‘They kissed. She choked her sobs and smiled. He looked just once—a long time—then he turned j i 4 oe, fas A i gilt” si AN; i e7 a (| aly ae ctisee unser ether Church and ran. He dared not look again. The smile died on her lips. She sank apon the door step and her shoulders shook. “It wasn’t Jong before the German norde came to the hills about the town. ‘They stormed the forts for three days, till at last they won their entrance into old Namur. They occu- pied the place. They took the'best and sold the leavings to Namur folk at triple price. ‘They occupied my home, paraded round about my walks. T knew them well, and I was sorry for the people in the city down below. I saw Jeanne and her mother trying to live on nothing, but {t wasn't only lack of food that made Jeanne’s eyes so big and dark in the pale ivory of her face. always her quick glance searched each i one who passed, hoping to find tne fea. tures of Marcel. A spy might not be in Germany; he might be here amidst the army of the conquerors in Belgi- um, In Namur, and any time. But all her hopes were vain and, as the months dragged into years and no news came, she ceased to look at ev- ery passerby, for disappointment only emphasized her fear. “Then one night, when the Hehts were out and all was still, she heard a gentle tapping at the door. Her mother opened it @ little way, and through the space a man's voice whis- pered: “I'm weary; I have traveled far today. Once, long ago, they told me if I visited Namur, I'd find safe shelter in your home.” Her heart beat quickly as they let him In, Was it Marcel? At least, perhaps some news. But no, the stranger knew only that once—two years ago—he and Duval had been together on « bit of work in Austria, Duval had said that if he chanced to reach Namur, they'd give him lodging in that house. Duval had sent a message, but that was long ago, and since then—well, no one had heard from him, The stranger hid there all next day, and then at night departed and was swallowed by the dark. “Five years of hopeful tomorrows turned to dreary yesterdays. To me, who has lived for centuries, five years are like a minute of the day. To Jeanne, each year out of the five was like a century. It was the Imprison- ing silence, not the Boche, that crushed her soul. ‘The Huns were driven back to their own land, Namur was free and, one by one, the soldiers who had lived returned, to stay at home again, And stiti no one could tell the fate of lost Marcel Duval. And then—" ‘The voice broke off, for down below the bells began to ring, the chimes that drove the cloud from off the sun. ‘The opalescent sky turned turquoise hiue; the sunlight tore the rainbow haze and sent a golden shower across the world. And from the church door ‘cameo bridal pair. T heard a whisper MANY VILLAGES NOW IN DUST Not Even Walls Remain to Mark Towns That Existed Before Ar- rival of Spiked Helmet Men.

Japanese children begin to study jiu-jitsu in their earliest years, for it is a system of physical culture, hygiene and ethics, and the exercises give strength and flexibility to the limbs. Later the pupil is shown the fine art of using an adversary's strength against himself. Earth Still Growing. In the early days of its history the earth grew rapidly by the addition of meteoric matter. It is still growing in the same manner, though scarcely to an appreciable extent, for the mass of meteoric matter added yearly is reckoned to be only 20,000 tons.

Hats for Crisp Springtime Hats for Crisp Springtime H NEARLY all afternoon gowns for the season now passing have been made of plain cloths and the spring finds us prepared to welcome something different. New figured silks and light weight woolls, in dull plaids o, cross-bars, foretell afternoon frocks traveling away from one-color cloths and familiar designs. Their creators, denling with new fabrics, are inspired to delight us with models as original and handsome as appears in the dignified dress shown in the picture above. Any of the finer fabrics, whether of silk, wool or cotton, might be successfully built into a dress like this. In this frock the straight-hanging skirt is arranged in wide box plaits, with the distance between them equaling their width. It is the regulation shoe-top length with three-inch hem, and these Hats for Cris SUMMERTIME may bring big and wide-brimmed hats, and already rumor is making generous promises in that respect, but for early spring the number of small hats hardly leaves room for the consideration of anything else. The small tailored hats for early wear, are brilliant in inverse ratio to their size. Everything, almost, that finds place in their construction or trimming is "slim." Straw and silk braids, and many fabrics have a varnished, high-luster surface. Many off-the-face shapes provide spirited small hats developed in the new materials, and there are a few models with moderately wide brims, like the hat made of silk shown at the center of the group above. Above it, at the left, a straight-brimmed sailor of braid has a top crown of georgette. --- brief details cover its description. A very graceful overgarment amounts to a short coat, with front and back panels extended to the knees and finished with embroidered motifs in silk floss. The coat is shortened over the hips, where a little fullness in the material suggests something of the fashionable flare at the sides. Three-quarter length sleeves are finished with a band and tabs of ribbon, in which the band slips through the tabs. The neck is finished in the same way with long ties of ribbon hanging at the front. Round, satin-covered buttons are set in a row at each side of the front, where the overgarment opens over a vest of plaited white georgette. Black satin ribbon, like that used for the ties, makes the narrow, plain girdle. p Springtime Bands of ribbon and metal buckles make its neat finish. The little hat at its right is of black and white satin straw braid and has a cut-out upturned brim with little rosettes of straw posed against it. A similar braid covers the round crown of the hat at the left. The upturned brim is faced with a millinery patent leather, banded and crossed with braid. This is a sturdy looking little model which invites the use of a vell. Patent leather is a courtesy title for a thin, shiny fabric which is soft and very popular. Highly lustrous straw braid and crepe georgette make the trim hat opposite.
