LIFTING T TOO $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy SENATE RECEIVES THE DYER MEASURE AFTER LONG DELAY Senator Shortridge Reports the Bill Favorably to the Upper House and Recommends its Passage. CLAIMED IS CONSTITUTIONAL Briefs by the Attorney General and Other Eminent Jurists Are Quoted by the Chairman of The Committee. Washington, D. C., Aug. 11—Additional steps have been taken by the Senate judiciary committee to effect the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill with the submission of a report by Senator Shortridge of California upholding the constitutionality of the proposed measure. It is this objection that has been most strenuously used in the Senate in all fights aiming to kill the bill. It was thought at the time it was reported to the Senate that the judiciary committee availed itself of an opportunity to get the drastic legislation off its hands. Committee's View The conclusion of the committee is that the bill is constitutional and is "appropriate legislation." "That conclusion is reached by different processes of reasoning," says the report, "and by reliance on different provisions of the constitution; but, whatever process of reasoning is adopted or whatever provisions of the constitution are relied on, we hold that the proposed legislation is 'appropriate legislation' to cure or prevent the evil of lynching wherever in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof that evil exists or is committed "White or black, all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and no State may, by affirmative legislative, judicial or executive action or by failure, neglect or refusal to act, deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. Not "Sectional" "A careful and dispassionate study of the provisions of this bill as amended will, the committee thinks, convince senators that it is "appropriate legislation" within the competency of Congress to enact, to safeguard and protect those rights to life, liberty and property which are guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. "The proposed legislation is not and should not be considered in any way sectional. The evil it is designed to cure is not confined to any particular section or state, North or South, East or West. This monstrous evil which is a disgrace to the nation, we should strive to wipe out by a firm and just exercise of every legitimacy power conferred upon and residing in the federal legislation. "The proposed legislation is not an invasion or subversion of the rights of states, nor is it designed to relieve the states from the performance of their duty to secure to all persons within their several jurisdictions equal protection of the law. On the contrary, the proposed legislation is in aid of the several states and will be impartially administered by the people of the several states." "American citizenship is indeed a badge of honor; it should be, and this bill seeks to make it a shield of protection to every American citizen, man, woman and child, native and naturalized, who stands on American soil, hedged round and guarded, as they are, by the legislation of the United States." N. A. A. C. P. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People meu at the Y. W. C. A. last Sunday afternoon. The largest attendance that has been witnessed for some time was out. Several of the local ministers were out and it is to be hoped they will continue to come and bring a part of their congregations with them. Hon. Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas, was the honor guest and he gave a very interesting and instructive address to our branch. Rev. Mr. Osborne, Rev W. C. Williams and a number of others also gave brief talks. The meeting next Sunday will be held at the St. John A. M. E. church, 24th and Grant streets.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 11.—State Boying Commissioner Lum Doyle will refuse a permit for a bout at Scottsbluf on August 15 between Jack Johnson, ex-heavyweight champion, and Harry Wills, Negro contender for the heavyweight title. The bout had been tentatively arranged by the Scottsbluff American Legion, and application had been filled with the state boxing commission for a permit. "No man with Johnson's record can ever box in Nebraska if I have anything to say about it," Doyle said. He said he would notify the Scottsbluff legion to the same effect. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E.

STRESSES FUNDAMENTALS (Special to The Monitor.) Sloux City, Ia., Aug. 10—Lagst Friday the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a picnic at Riverside Park. It was a successful and delightful affair, reflecting credit upon the committee having it in charge. The committee secured as speaker the Rev. John Albert Williams of Omaha, whose admirable address made a deep impression upon all who heard it. The following report is taken from the Sloux City Tribune of August 4: Designating the Negroes as "the cipher in the American equation," and declaring that the cipher must be taken into consideration in summing up 100·per cent Americanism, Rev. John Albert Williams of Omaha addressed 200 Negroes at a picnic at Riverside park this afternoon. "The submerged or minor group in any civilization is ergarded as the cipher," said Rev. Mr. Williams. "The ciphers count in summing up the Americanism in the ideal democracy as well as the democracy in fact." What the Negro is doing for the advancement of his race was pointed out by Rev. Mr. Williams in showing what has been accomplished since emancipation. Sixty years ago there were 12,000 homes owned by Negro people, and today there are 700,000. There are 1,200,000 farms owned by OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 11, 1922 colored people today compared to 20,000 sixty years ago. The wealth of Negroes totals $2,000,000,000. There are 1,800,000 students in schools. Sixty per cent of the Negro population are communicants in churches today, and the value of church property is $85,000,000. To play his part in American life the Negro must do three things, Mr. Williams pointed out at the close of his address. First is to stand for the integrity of the family, second to look upon labor as dignified, and third to stand for the highest standard of morality. Rev. Mr. Williams is editor of the Omaha Monitor, the leading Negro publication of the middle west. He also is rector of St. Philly's Episcopal church, having been in charge for 31 years. His church is the only colored congregation in the Nebraska diocese of the Episcopal church. He was introduced at the picnic by Rev. R. M. Williams, of Sioux City. The singing of Negro spirituals, led by Leon Smith, a colored student of Morningside College, preceded the address. The picnic, starting at ten o'clock this morning, was under the auspices of the Sioux City branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. There was a program of games and sports, followed by a basket dinner this afternoon, after which came the jubilee singing and the address. GEORGIA JUDGE ORDERS LYNCHING INVESTIGATED Macon, Ga., Aug. 9—"The law is a thousand-fold stronger than the mob and lawless violence must be suppressed at all hazards," Judge H. A. Matehws asserted in superior court here in charging the grand jury specially empanelled to investigate the lynching of John Glover, Negro, slayer of Deputy Sheriff W. C. Byrd and two Nergroes. 1,500 YOUNGSTERS ARE GUESTS AT ELK PICNIC AT ELMWOOD Greatest Outing of Kind Ever Held in City Provides Pleasure for Hundreds of Omaha's Boys. SPECTATORS ENJOY THE FUN The picnic given last Saturday afternoon in Elmwood Park by Omaha Lodge No. 39 of Elks for the boys of Omaha, without any distinction as to race, creed or color, was a gigantic success from every point of view. The weather was ideal. Boys of all sorts and descriptions and all sizes and ages, within the liberal limits designated, to the number of 4,500 were there. Prominent business and professional men, members of the order, Scout executives and other citizens were on hand to see that the youngsters had a good time. Picture if you can the dignified Dr. Senter of Central High, doming a big white apron and dishing out chow; and Henry Dunn, police commissioner, dipping up milk; and Charley Black, Omaha's postmaster, dishing out ice cream, with other notables, and you will have some idea of the class of Elks who catered to the kids. The moving spirit of the affair, who has been working like a Trojan since April 1st, was Dr. M. J. Ford, chairman of the social and community welfare of the Elks. He was everywhere with his big megaphone smiling and good-natured and seeing that everybody had a good time. Our own Dr. Craig Morris was one of the most active men on the ground. But everybody was busy. In the sports the colored boys captured their share of Vol. VIII—No. 6—Whole Number 370 the prizes. Among the winners were Dallas Peoples, John Simms, Walter Penn, VascoDodson, Ernest Alexander, and Delray Moore. Sheriff Mike Clark and George A. Roberts offered prizes to the boys with most freckles and reddest hair. Clarence Whiserand, 2233 South Twentieth street, and Clarence Dwyer, 2834 Parker street, won prizes for having the most freckles. Prizes for the nearest Negro boys were awarded to Ernest Carpenter, Harry Duncan, Carl B. Goodlett, Frank O'Neill and Silas Johnson. The boys were all well behaved and there was not a single incident to mar the pleasure of the day in this great concrete illustration of the spirit of true Americanism. APPROVES THE CONTEST Omaha, Aug. 3.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee. Your editorial contest "To Help Form Public Opinion," shows that you and I agree that public opinion needs forming or reforming, and that American newspapers are read more extensively and by a more cultivated people than are the newspapers of the rest of the world. American newspapers are in all probability forming the dominant ideals for peoples of the world for centuries to come. American newspapers should not lose sight of the fact that the nations of the past, the loftiest product of human mentality in that past, fell as a consequence of the wrongful acts of their rulers and people. American newspapers should not lose sight of the fact that every intelligent citizen of every century and age looks into the most distant future and sees, what he would never by word or act endanger, his country still advancing with undiminished vigor and glory, a paragon of justice to all men the world over. American newspapers should not lose sight of the fact that there is no inherent weakness in any government of any country or peoples, and that their prospect of continued existence is unlimited, or limited only by the continued and unvaried contentment of the people. American newspapers should not allow prosperity to efface from the minds of the American people the cause and terrible consequence of that mighty conflict, forecast by that preeminent patriotic statesman, Thomas Jefferson, when viewing the conditions of the American Negro, he said: "I tremble for the future of my country, when I realize that God is just." American newspapers are charged with the creation and dissemination of lofty ideals, ideals that need neither a compromiser or defender, that will lighten the duties of the American statesman and put no fear or trembling in their breasts, that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson Abraham Lincoln and every other fair-minded, patriotic, liberty-loving American citizen entertains. American newspapers could and should remove that benumbing chill, never absent from the convictions uttered by so many of the great narrators of human events of their country running the same course which Rome and other great nations ran, from virtuous industry to wealth, from wealth to luxury, from luxury to an impatience of discipline and corruption of morals, till by a total degeneracy and loss of virtue being ripe for destruction, it fell and sank again into its original barbarism. Or, as Byron puts it, "There is a moral in all human tales, 'tis but the same rehearsal of the past, first freedom and then glory—when that falls, wealth, vice, corruption—barbarism at last." Let every American newspaper dip its pen in the living fluid of American patriotism and write in the capline of every issue, while time lasts, the words of Daniel Webster, "When my eyes shall be turned to behold for the last time the sun in heaven," etc. JOSEPH CARR.

GROWING THANK YOU AN APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE GREETS PROFESSOR MILLER Dinstinguished Educator and Author Delivers Instructive Lecture On Race Problem at Pilgrim Baptist Church. SELF-RELIANCE IS KEYNOTE Belief in Essentiality of His Own Manhood Is the Protective Philosophy Under Which Race Must Be Working. Declaring that self belief is the greatest protective philosophy in the world and that the American Negro must work out his own salvation inspired by belief in himself, and the essentiality of his own manhood, Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the college of liberal arts of Howard University, held the undivided attention of a large and representative audience for an hour and a half at Pilgrim Baptist church Tuesday night. "In the face of a studied effort to make him believe that he is an inferior being, and this is the fixed aim and purpose of Anglo-Saxon civilization, evidenced, in the United States by discriminatory customs designed to humiliate and degrade him, the Negro must believe in the essentiality of his own manhood; that God created him and endowed him with all the powers of manhood, and that he is capable of the highest development," said Prof. Miller. "Acceptance of the doctrine and belief that he is fundamentally, eternally and inescapably different from other men and therefore cannot aspire to be all that other men are designed to be by their Creator, means stultification and degradation. Belief in self, reliance upon his own efforts and not upon philanthropic help from white people, are absolutely essential to the race's taking its rightful position in America. The age of philanthropy towards the colored American has passed; the era of self-dependence is upon us and this fact must be realized." Prof. Miller spoke under the auspices of the Men's Club of the Episcopal Church of St. Philip the Deacon. A short musical program consisting of a piano solo by Miss Lucy Allen, a violin solo by Worthington Williams, accompanied by Miss Bernice Givens, and soprano solo, in Spanish, by Mrs. Grace Morris Hutten, accompanied by Mrs.C. H. Singleton, pianist, and Clarence Desdunes, violinist, preceded the lecture. J. F. Smith, president of the Men's Club, presided. H. J. Pinkett, an alumnus of Howard University, introduced the speaker. The following Howard alumni had seats on the platform: Dr. J. H. Hutten, Dr. John A. Singleton, Mr. McVeigh, Mrs. Divers and Attorney H. J. Pinkett. 5.000 PARADE WITH GARVEY New York, Aug. 11—Surrounded by police and private detectives to thwart threatened attacks, five thousand Garveyites headed by their chief, Marcus Garvey, president general of the U.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MILLO PRIZE FIRST IN SERVICE THE TWIN STRIKES THE twin strikes, coal and railroad, do not seem very near settlement. Daily the public is led to believe that the end is near. Conferences are being held, but little progress is made. Operatives and employees seem to be stubbornly contending for certain concessions which it would seem might well be left to a board of arbitration. In the meantime tremendous economic waste is going on for which the public must pay. Strikes, like all forms of war, evoke greater evils than they allay. FORMING PUBLIC OPINION JOSEPH CARR has sent a communication to the Omaha Daily Dale commending its editorial contest "To Help Form Public Opinion," which so fully expresses the views of many of our own thoughtful readers that we give it space in our columns and commend its careful reading. The American newspaper has a great responsibility placed upon it. The race newspaper shares this responsibility in a limited degree with the great dailies and national weekles. The formation of sound public sentiment is greatly needed at all times and never more particularly so than in these hysterical days of the reconstruction period. SENATE GETS DYER BILL NOW that the committee has recommended the Dyer Bill to the Senate it does seem to us that that august body should get into quick action. It is not a sectional measure, nor a partisan one, but a patriotic one. If Americans believe in the reign of the law rather than the reign of the mob, federal steps should be taken to make this fact plain not only to our own citizens, but to the world. The Dyer measure has this as its objective. It should be speedily passed. We are told this is a white man's civilization, well then it is up to the Congress of the United States who are all white men to help save their civilization from barbarism and savagery. Establish and maintain the supremacy of law. The individual states admit their impotency; the federal government should therefore act. P. M. Harris, popular barber of the South Side, returned last week after an extended visit through the South. He also looked over his oil interests while on this vacation thus mixing business and pleasure. Worth Recording. A Washington woman had scrimped for a long time to take a trip to rama. A man very much younger than herself, in the deck chair beside her, was making the voyage for the good of a frazzled nervous system. He was a whimsical youngster, who could joke at his own ups and downs, and she was used to boys, so they talked of this and that until at last the subject came around to the thing that makes the traditional mare go. The woman, still dazed at the Aladdin-like power that could transmit small economies into a fairy world of blue ocean bellowing into blue sky, took her turn at the conversation by voicing civilization's oldest platitude: "Money talks, doesn't it?" "It sure does, though my money only knows two words—'Good bye.'" And the woman has brought it home as one of her good little stories. The Church Fair. The suburban woman and her seventeen-year-old son, George, went to the church fair. The fair, like most church fairs, was costing the woman a great deal of money. It was a chance on this and a chance on that. A few articles she bought outright. Since she was well known and her husband's salary was also a matter of town gossip, all her friends who had charge of booths upon her buying and buying. All this continual handing out money was too much for George's comprehension. He couldn't seem to understand the cause of it all. Finally, when his mother was free for a few moments, he looked at her seriously and asked, "Mamma, do we have to pay to get out?"—Chicago Journal. INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. Not to Be Abridged. Naturelized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. 400,000 ELIGIBLE—ONLY 2,500 VOTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA Columbia, S. C., Aug. 11—Although there are 400,000 colored men and women of voting age in this state, only about 2,500 of them have been able to pass the rigid disfranchising laws, get themselves registered and vote. There are the same number of white people of voting age in the state and 64,000 of them voted in the last election for Woodrow Wilson. Harding got a little over 2,250 votes. Efforts of the republican party to increase the colored vote in South Carolina has aroused the Columbia State, a white daily paper here, which declares that unless the Negro is kept out of politics, he cannot be kept out of jobs in the cotton mills. This white newspaper also calls upon the governor to appoint the "right kind of judges of election and registrars" so that even qualified Negroes may not get their names on the books. S. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 26th and Seward Streets R. Taylor. Pastor Is it necessary at this time to ask the question, "What is the Purpose of Divine Worship? Why Have Two Services or More One Day in Seven?" It certainly shouldn't be and yet there seems to be much confusion on the matter.

Growth of the Telephone. If the telephone calls that were put in last year in the United States alone had been scattered evenly about the earth, every person in every country would have been seven times to the phone—every one of India's troubled millions, of China's and of Africa's, and of the almost countless others in every other land. The wires used in the United States would span the distance of the moon 100 times—would circle the earth 1,000. The army and navy of the United States together number about the same as the employees of the Bell telephone system. Trampa. The age of the average tramp before the war was fifty years. Now it's thirty-two. And the 1922 model tramp rides on auto trucks instead of freight trains. This information is from the report of a New York welfare association with a name as long as Barnum's Cardiff giant. The association is seeking a way to reduce the number of trumps. Quickest way is to give them the jobs they seek. Second, and impossible, is to kill the wanderlust that exists in every human, a psychoanalytic complex, rejection from the dull grind of civilization.

On the gentle sloping hillsides of the northern portion of a single state of the great Brazilian republic there are some 700,000,000 coffee trees. Here on the famous rich, red soil (terra rosa), under extraordinarily favorable climatic conditions, the state of Sao Paulo is producing annually close to three-quarters of the world's total coffee crop. Small wonder it is that this state ranks so high in the number and in the character of its population; in the development of its railroads; in its general commercial and industrial activity. Small wonder is it that the city of Sao Paulo is so full of life and energy; that Santos has become so famous a port, that the Santos docks and the Sao Paulo railway attract so many visitors. Coffee is the mainspring of all this development. Coffee is the prevailing topic of conversation. Coffee is the key to the financial situation. Coffee is king. As a famous waterfall, or an immense steel plant, or a great forest, or a wonderful view attracts the traveler, so this remarkable Brazilian coffee district has a fascination all its own for the "globe-trotter," or for the more leisurely traveler who seeks to know something more definite about our South American neighbors; or, more particularly, for any one to whom man's achievements in changing the face of nature by making the earth produce what he needs and what he finds profitable a a source of satisfaction and inspiration. Journey of Great Interest. The heart of the coffee country can be reached in less than three weeks from New York. The voyage to and from Rio Janeliro is a delight which cannot fail to satisfy even those who are not naturally lovers of the sea. What can be more ideal for any one who is tired out with the wear and tear of a busy life than that voyage of two weeks from New York to Rio, over the calm seas and under the bright skies of the topics? From Rio de Janeiro a journey of about eight hours takes the traveler across the coast range of mountains (Serra do Mar) and along the valley of the Parahyba river to the city of São Paulo, which lies in a position of immense advantage to its commercial development. From the city of São Paulo the heart of the coffee country is reached in a short day's journey along one of the lines of railroad which go in a northerly or northwesterly direction across the open campos or through the scattering woodlands. In about two hours after leaving the city of Sao Paulo the traveler begins to see the first considerable coffee plantations, and from time on the journey is one of the greatest interest. Coffee is everywhere. Miles and miles of coffee trees stretch away, up and down the gentle slopes of the rolling topography, often as far as the eye can see—great broad waves of green, with the narrow lines of the red soil showing in marked contrast with the green of the leaves. It is a sight which is not soon forgotten. Here and there are small patches of forest which have not yet been destroyed to make way for the coffee. And then there come great stretches of rugged grasslands, partly used for grazing purposes, or locally for farming, where the soil is not right for the coffee tree. Charm of the Fazendas. On the lower slopes of the hills or on the lowlands, standing out in marked contrast with the green coffee trees, are the white buildings of the fazenda—great, substantial stone and stucco manor houses, with wide verandas and large windows, surrounded by gardens filled with palm, and banana, and orange, and mango trees; the extensive outbuildings, for the stables and for the machinery, for the laborers and for the superintendent, being placed at a respectful distance from the manor house. All these Brazilian fazendas have a peculiar charm—an appearance of solidarity, of comfort, of peace, and of prosperity—as they lie there, surrounded by the wealth of their coffee trees, with cattle grazing on the neighboring fields, and with ever-buy, picturesque Italian laborers caring for the precious crop, whose market prices are quoted daily in all the important papers throughout the clivilized world. The coffee trees on a Brazilian plantation begin to bear in two to four years after they have been removed from the nurseries, where they grow in wicker baskets, under shade. The fruit, when ripe, is red, and resembles a small cherry, or cranberry, in general appearance. The coffee which we see in the grocery store is the seed of this coffee berry. Normally each berry contains two seeds, flat on one side and rounded on the other, the flat sides being together. The seeds are imbedded in a sticky, whitish pulp, and are further themselves surrounded by two envelopes. Before the coffee bean can be put upon the market the outer covering, the pulp, and the two inner coverings must be removed. It is customary to classify the methods of preparing coffee for market into the wet and the dry. They are alike, after a certain stage, and there is disagreement among experts as to the relative merits of the two in producing the best coffee. In the dry process the berries are dried before the pulp is removed, and then outer covering, pulp, and inner coverings are removed together. In the wet process the pulp is first removed in water, and the drying and removal of the inner envelopes come later. There is no absolutely hard and fast rule, invariably followed on all fazendas alike, in the preparation for market of the coffee beans. A considerable water supply and a carefully planned system of small canals and of basins is needed in the wet method, and it is partly for this reason, as well as because of the preference of some fazendelios for the dry method, that the wet method is not everywhere in use. Harvest Lasts Several Months. The harvest begins in May and lasts into August, or even September. This is the dry season, so that the weather conditions are very favorable, not only for the harvest itself, but for drying and transporting the crop after it has been gathered. In picking the coffee the boughs are pulled down with the left hand and held at the outer end while the right hand is run along the bough from the base to the tip, thus stripping off the berries as well as many leaves and twigs. For the upper branches rude step-ladders are used. The usual method of harvesting is to let the berries, twigs, etc., fall directly on the ground, where they are later raked together with wire rakes with rounded teeth, and the first rough sorting is made. The next stage is a winnowing by means of a wire sieve, the hand being used to pick out the twigs and leaves and the wind blowing away a good deal of the dust as the contents of the sieve are thrown up into the air and caught again several times. In a less common method the results of the harvesting are allowed to fall into cotton cloths spread out underneath the trees. This makes the gathering of the crop quicker. The berries are then assembled in sacks. From this point on the berries are subjected to various mechanical treatments. Under the "wet method" they are washed, churned with hoses, allowed to soften, and are then run through a mechanical pulper. The seeds, still enveloped by the inner skins, are strained from the "mush" resulting from the pulping operations, and are then placed in basins to ferment slightly so that any remaining pulp will be loosened. They are then spread out on large paved surfaces to dry in the sun. When properly dried the seeds are gathered up and run through ingenious machines which rub off the skin. The particles of skin are sifted and blown out and the coffee beans—hulled, cleaned and sorted—fall directly from the last machine into the bags. When these contain 182 pounds each they are sewed up and are ready for shipment to market. Along the roads, deep in red dust, six or eight yoke of oxen draw the heavy wagon, loaded with the precious sacks, to the nearest railroad station, in cases where the railroad does not come directly into the fazenda, as it often does. Off to the south go the trains, first to the city of Sao Paulo, and then down the steep eastern slopes of the Serra do Mar to the world's famous coffee port. In Santos, coffee absolutely dominates the lives of the people. Coffee is everywhere—on the streets, in the warehouses, on the train. Every one is busy with coffee. Decoration Featured on Waists for Tailored Use. The Jabot Effect or Ruffles in Straight Rows Afford an Interesting Arrangement. Well-dressed women in search of smart blouses to wear with navy blue suits would undoubtedly apply the term of "real" to one group of offerings noted recently, for they are genuinely attractive. One of the most original designs was a frilled overlouse. Frills are almost exclusively offered on waists for tailored use, and a most agreeable surprise is waiting for those who have never seen them in combination with a finished overlouse pattern. One manufacturer has included this frilled overlouse in several highly specialized models. White, flesh and bisque are the color mediums, and a particularly rich effect is found in those of bisque tone because of the shaded lace that is dyed to match it so perfectly. In developing these frilled styles, one is offered in a typical jabot effect edged with lace in scalloped pattern. Another shows two straight rows of ruffles on either side of a double setting of hand-made Irish lace. This waist attracts immediate attention because the pattern of the lace includes several large rosette stitches that reach the proportion of large buttons and which form ornaments of rich appearance. The peplum parts of these georgettes blouses have a finished touch in the employment of horizontal tucks that are found on many. Medallions of antique fillet lace in its novel design are used as trimming on several styles. These medallions are set in irregular fashion to give a pointed effect to the sleeves and are used in foursomes to form a novel collar. Tucked squares cover the surface of one overlouse, and hand-made lace medallions are centered in these to good advantage. To point out the fine detail in executing these blouses, one waist offers a bosom front formed of embroidered net combined with Irish lace. It is the season for georgettes, and for that reason they have been emphasized. Crepe de chines of a fine quality are also presented in the same models for those who prefer this material. THE CREPE GOWN UNADORNED Frock Made of Canton Material in Popular Caramel Shade, Without Trimming. Just how attractive a gown made entirely of one fabric and practically without trimming can be is shown by a frock made of canton crepe in the popular caramel shade. The only touch of contrasting color is in the thread used to hemsithe tucks and form the little openwork border around the neck. Brown silk thread is used for this purpose. Both back and front sections of the frock have rather wide tucks running practically their entire width. Four panels, two at the side front and two at the side back, are laid in inch-wide flat plains; the sections between these panels are plain. The sleeves are about three-quarter length and slightly fared. These also are finished with tucks. A sash belt, to be tied at the side or back, holds the frock in at the waltaline. With this frock is worn a small hat of brown braid or taffeta trimmed with foliage or flowers carrying out the color scheme of the frock. The crepe weave silks are used to make dresses that are smart and practical and so light in weight that they may be worn with comfort throughout the summer, as the majority of them are entirely unlined. The leaning to straight lines and to simplicity in style design is very friendly to the development of unlined frocks, as few are so closely fitted to the figure as to require lining unless it is actually preferred, and certainly the unlined dresses are much easier to get into than the ones that are lined—another advantage in this age of hurry and flurry. WITH CREPE PLAITED SKIRT THE FASHION WEEKLY An interesting importation that might be dignified by the name "sweater blouse," is brocaded and has a wide sash with fringed ends. Of orchid, it is especially attractive with a crepe plaited skirt. THE MONITOR Craze Exists for Dresses, Suits, Blouses and Sweaters. Sport Clothes Play Important Parts Two-Piece Suits Are Given Decided Preference. Women ever have been accused of fickleness, especially in the fancies that they take for certain types of dress. Very likely, observes a cor- respondent in the New York Tribune, if we took the trouble to investigate what lies behind fashions, we would find women less fickle in this respect than mere man supposes—for it is man who always accuses us of this. This leads up to the costume of knitted materials, for which a veritable craze has developed. They won't last long was the prediction of many people when knitted dresses, suits, blouses and sweaters appeared in such profusion in the latter part of the winter, but the fashion has endured and will continue to endure for a long, long time because of the ability of a group of people to lift this type of costume entirely out of the humdum category of the merely practical and not at all beautiful outdoor costume. They have done it by combining beautiful colors, by broaching knitted wool materials in patterns of silk in both contrasting and harmonizing shades and also through the introduction of wonderful embroideries on knitted fabrics. Consequently, we find ourselves in the midst New French Sweater of Dull Gray Wool, With Brocaded Pattern in Red Silk. of a season where pastime clothes play a more important part than ever before in the history of fashions. Two-piece suits of knitted fabrics are preferred by the conservative woman. These consist either of a skirt and coat or a skirt and overblouse, the latter in Russian blouse style. Attractive sweater coats in slightly blossoming form are developed in silk and wool. BLOUSES OF LINEN REAPPEAR Different Weights and Varied Manipulations Characterize Some of the Favored Garments. Linen has cut more of a figure in blouses this season than it has for several seasons, reappearing in different weights and different manipulations. At one big city store this fabric, in a medium soft weave, has been chosen for the development of a new series of overblouses to which is given the name Bretalia. The models are supposed to fill the need for a waistcoat or gilet, but built on ample, long-waisted lines, instead of cleft at the manner of a man's belt. They come, therefore, with sleeves and without, but with the sleeved more in the majority. A feature is made of wide box plaits, the whole blouse being constructed in a tailored manner, hanging straight from the shoulder and finished with a three or four-inch band. This treatment has come to be known as a Renee idea, with the band fastened to one side of the front in such a manner that it lends itself to adjustment. There is some use of hand-drawn work in addition to the more severely box plait fronted effects, and it comes in several different collar shapes, but nearly always swung high. The color range includes orchid, blue, rose and green. The styles are also made up in white, these introducing color in collar bindings and pipings. Black and white is again the high peak of fashion for jewelry. With the summer sleeveless gown the wide jet bracelet is to be used with its sparkling crest of brilliants. Jet daggers, long and of romantically Bedouin aspect, are used to slash through a fold of silk and give an air to the exact front of a high little turban. Black and white brooches and black and white combs for the evening collure vie in favor with black and white little finger rings. Brothers Northwest Corner of 8th and Jackson Sts.
