THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME IX Uncle Sam's "Jim Crow" Causes Racial Feeling Against Negro Soldiers Captain Matthew F. Gladstone in North America Review. Is it not time to do away with the "color" line in the army of the United States? Boections 1.104 and 1.106 of the Revised Statutes require that "the enlisted men of two regiments of cavalry" and two regiments of infantry shall be colored men." The Ninth and Tenth regiments of cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth of infantry are the four upon which the ban of color has been laid; by implication, colored men are, and always have been excluded from the ranks of all the other regiments. This law is today the only one upon the statute books of the National government which treats the Negro citizens of a class apart—which sets up a "Jim Crow" car for them, as it were, and requires them to ride in it or none. No more exclusive law can be found in the codes of Alabama or Mississippi. The law was passed in 1866, at a time when the Negro and his welfare were occupying a large place in the thought of the nation's lawmakers. The country had just emerged from a terrible war, of which the Negro had been the main, if not the only real cause. The purpose of the law, unquestionably, was to assure a civil right to the newly enfranchised citizen; its enactment bespoke a fear in the minds of the lawmakers that the colored man, endowed by the constitution with all the rights and privileges of the white man, would, nevertheless, be deprived of the privilege of entering the ranks of the regular army. The fear was a marx bogey then, and today it would be altogether forgotten but for this law which has kept it alive. There are Negro enlisted men in our navy, and also in the hospital corps, the commissary and the quartermaster's departments, and the ordinance corps of the army; but in the line of the army there are none save in the four regiments—two of infantry and two of cavalry—set apart for them. From the ranks of the artillery they are as firmly barred as from the railway coaches of the whites in our Southern states. This limitation, however, is true, only of the enlisted men; the law does not prescribe that the commissioned officers of those four regiments shall be "colored men," and therefore, does not by implication exclude colored men from the commissioned grades of other regiments and corps. There is, in fact, nothing in the law of the land to prevent a full-blooded Zulu from becoming the colonel of any one of our regiments or the chief of any corps. Of a truth, the law which places the mark of color on four of our regiments is out of date now if it ever was timely. It is contrary to the spirit of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, and to the good sense of the twentieth century. There is no good reason why blacks or whites should be excluded by the law of the land from any troop, battery or company in the service. Recruiting officers should enlist the best men to be had, without distinction of color, and each man should be assigned to a regiment according to his choice and the best interests of the military service. The law fixing the taint of color upon four regiments does them an injustice and an injury. It is today, forty years after, a recognition by act of Congress of the national prejudice against the Negro. The morale of a regiment depends much upon TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 11, 1907 its traditions and upon the esteem in which it is held by the people. The praises of a few persons, no matter how high their station, do not counterbalance the feeling within a regiment that it is looked down upon by the people. Within the army itself there is no prejudice against the colored regiments. The fine work they have done is known and appreciated there, without any claim, however, that they have done better work than the white regiments The quality of a regiment's work depends mainly upon the quality of its officers and no better officers are to be found in service than those of the colored regiments. The soldiers of the regular army, white and black, have always given a good account of themselves in campaign and battle. In a fight the color of a man's face cuts no figure, so long as it be not pale. While there is no prejudice against the colored regiments within the army, it cannot be denied that nothing is rarer in our service than an officer who prefers or seeks assignment to a colored regiment. Why? Because, when an officer goes back to his home, he wants to be able to speak with pride of his regiment to people, and he wants to hear them speak of it with respect and esteem; he knows such will not be the case if his regiment is colored. The prejudice against the Negro regiment is found without the army. It is not confined to any particular section of the country. It is no more of the North than of the South. There is today a larger proportion of officers in the colored regiments from the South than from any other equal section of the country. Shipp and Smith, who laid down their lives heroically leading their colored troopers at San Juan, were both Southerners; and there are scores of other southerners in the colored regiments emulating the splendid soldierly example left behind by those two men as a precious tradition in their regiment. The prejudice against the Negro and the Negro regiment is national; it is as wide as our territory. There is, for instance, a cavalry post in Vermont; but no colored troop has ever been or is ever likely to be, stationed there. The people of Vermont do not want them. New Englanders have always peculiarly loved the Negro, but they do not love him in their midst; they prefer him away in Georgia or Louisiana whither they can send him their sympathy by mail. A few years ago, a fine troop of the Ninth cavalry was stationed at Fort Myer, across the way from the National Capital, as a reward for specially good service in an Ind an campaign. Never a word of complaint was made against the behavior of this troop; yet it is well known that never again will a colored troop be ordered to that post for station. The people of Washington do not want them. It is a notorious fact in the army that the political clique which holds the Yellowstone Park, the great national pleasure ground, in the hollow of its fist will never allow colored troops to be stationed in the park. They are afraid that their patrons, the American travelers, will resent being held to the regulations of the park by Negro troopers. Since the disturbance at Brownsville, the broad state of Texas is no doubt closed forever against the Negro regiments. When orders were issued a couple of years ago sending a squadron of colored cavalry to Port Leavenworth, Kansas, letters of protest are reported to have been sent to the War department by prominent persons of the adjacent town of Leavenworth. It has been proclaimed by the public press that Negro troops must not be placed at the garrison in the Southern states, and the department has never yet ventured to station them in any of the Eastern or Middle The Chief Executive Favors Liberal Help for Industrial Schools---He is Against Further Jim Crow in the Public Schools. Following is a part of the message of Governor Heck on the education of the Negro. While the Governor seems to be fair and wants to do what he can for the advancement and education of the Negro, he like most white men does not thoroughly understand the conditions of the colored people in this country. In reference to that part of the subject why there is such a small attendance of colored pupils in the various colleges mentioned, it can be explained in this manner. The parents of colored children, as a rule, are not able in a great measure to send their children from home to college and pay board and railroad fare and keep it up for a year, without a hardship. In most cases where white students attend these colleges they have an opportunity to do work that colored people are not permitted to do for the reason that the white people are prejudiced as to color. Take Washburn college and over one-third of the students who attend that institution are carriers for the daily newspapers of Topeks and make a good living, while colored young men are not permitted to do this. Take Lawrence, Emporia and Manhattan. These institutions are supported by tax-payers of the state, and most of those who attend have wealthy parents, farmers and business men; merchants and other business men in these towns give students enough extra work to pay for their board. This matter the Governor has not thoroughly considered, that 90 per cent of the colored people of Kansas are poor and receive scant wages for a living. Take the sectarian institutions as mentioned in the message, Ottawa, Bethany and other schools in the state that are supported by denominations; these schools are most exclusive and none but members of the denomination is allowed, as it is in white churches, which do not encourage colored members and therefore you do not find colored people in their churches. This is a pervading feeling that exists among white people; although white people are accepted in all colored churches and there is no barrier. If a wayfaring white should wish to join in with the colored brothers and sisters and march merrily on to the yearly gates of the New Jerusalem, he would find no objection raised by the colored people but they would give him the glad hand of fellowship, sup in the same cup and break bread with the same hand and march to glory together. We wish to say that we agree with the Governor that the Legislature could do no better than to appropriate money for those industrial schools which are doing so much to educate and uplift that class of young people who can work for their board and earn their tuition in such schools as Western University and the Topeka Industrial School. These two institutions are the only two of the kind in the state and if the white people care to they can send some of their children to these institutions and they would be accorded the same treatment as the colored. That is, they would be allowed to work out part of their tuition. In personal conversation with Governor Hoch he is opposed to to separate schools and will not endorse such legislation. While we do not know what the Governor means by the race problem being solved by separate schools, he certainly is mistaken in that which we have pointed out above, and it is conceded that the best way to ameliorate the conditions of any people is to let them live in peace and harmony. The teaching of superiority on account of color will make it disastrous for the white race in this country within the next quarter of a century. The condition now existing in this country is that the lowest white man has better opportunities and is more respected than the highest and most cultured colored man. This condition of affairs should not exist and should not be tolerated by the better class of whites. If the emblem of virtue and wealth must be white, then it makes it very disastrous for those of other races. We are gratified to know that the Governor has recommended an appropriation for these two schools; it is nothing out of the way at all if the money is properly spent in the education of those who attend the schools, but it must be understood that the colored people of Kansas are almost to a unit opposed to separate schools where the money is paid out of the public treasury, and it is suicide to a party or a set of men to try and force upon the people of this state separate schools without their consent, and we think that the white men or set of white men of a law making body who would try to enforce upon a people that which they would not have enforced upon themselves should be forever ceasured. Always remember the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." NOY. MOON'S MESSAGE. dents only 19 are colored. At the College of Emporia, out of 400 students none are colored. In a total student body of 11,448 students attending these state and denominational institutions only 120 students are colored. This is a very alarming statement, and is intensified when we reflect that, while only about one per cent of this student body is colored, thirty per cent of the inmates of the reformatory and thirty seven per cent of the inmates of the penitentiary are colored young people of the state are not availing themselves of these higher educational advantages to any considerable extent. The reason to all thoughtful people is apparent. It is not the result of any law. It is largely the result of an innate consciousness that the mingling of the races in these schools is to each unpleasant. But the safety of our free institutions depends upon the virtue and intelligence of the individual citizens, and these colored people are citizens. The interests of the white and black alike, therefore, demand that everything possible be done to lift them into ideal citizen ship. The educational problem, therefore, is a most serious one. It must be solved, if solved at all, by colored schools. Practical men of both races realize this fact. State aid extended to this class of schools is therefore along the line of practical statesmanship, and I command to your favorable consideration the two institutions which former legislatures have generously helped. Western University, located at Quindaro, is in a flourishing condition. It sustained a great loss in the elevation of its able and eminent president, Prof W. T. Vermon, to be register of the treasury, at Washington, D. C., but the acting president, Prof. Shelton French, is maintaining the splendid reputation of the school. I commend this great institution to your most liberal consideration. The Topeka Industrial and Educational institute of which Prof. W. R. Carter is the able and efficient principal, is another Negro school in which the state has a contributory interest, and like Western University, is doing good work among these people. State aid has been extended to this school and I think the money has been wisely spent, and I commend it to your further generous consideration. Get Bvey. To our young men who are loafing around the city: You should get busy and get something to do. The harvest is ripe and the laborers are few. There is no beating around the bush. We, as a race have got to overcome the white man's oppression and opposition in this country and the only way to do it is to stand up like men and try and accumulate what we can under the difficulties. There are thousands of acres of land in this country that can be bought cheap, and there are lots of opportunities to learn trades and go into business if you save up your hard earned money. No progressive person has any respect for a loafer. Parents should see to it that their children are pushed forward to do something for a livelihood. Every child from five years up should be made to rise early in the morning and that is one great drawback to our race. We sleep too much. NOTICE To Kansas City, Kans. and Kansas City, Mo. We are destroys of increasing ur circulation in the two cities. We shall in a short time off a good prize for the most popular lady in those cities, and shall enter them in the race for this prize with the understanding that those ladies work to secure a large subscription which insures votes in securing the prize. .NUMBER 2 The Usual Activity is Shown at the Opening-Negro Job Hunters are Scarce. The legislature convened last Tuesday noon. Secretary of State Burrows, the diplomatic and Chesterfieldian, called the house to order and read the list of the elected members. J. B. Simmons was elected speaker: W. L. Cunningham of Cowley county, speaker pro tem. B. X. Wilson, chief clerk and Dan Dyer, sergeant at arms. We have been promised by the leading members of both branches of the legislature and the governor that this will be a session of business and progress, and that there will be no obnoxious laws passed and no class legislation. There will be no time for enacting black laws, but laws will be enacted for everybody. We hope this will be carried out and that at the next election the colored people will not have to make any excuse for the foolishness and outrages carried on by the Republicans of long ago. We hope this legislature will be liberal in giving appointments to the colored people, as one has been specially secured by the party known as the "broom brigade," we presume the colored people will be glad to get plenty of broom at $3 per day. We do hope that this administration will provide two or three lucrative positions for good substantial colored men. Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, of Kansas City, Kansas, was mentioned for chaplain and was being pushed at one time, but his name was withdrawn by some of his friends which will probably mean something better later on. There are several colored politicians from various parts of the state seeking jobs, which we hope they will succeed in securing, although there are not near so many as herefore. Glover of Wichita, Smith and Evans of Hutchinson Garland of Downs, Jackson of Leavenwort, Banks of Salma and others whose names we have not yet secured at this writing. We are glad to say that one of the most active young politicians at the Copeland, one who did as much milling as any of the men, was Earl King, a ten year old aspirant for page in the Senate. He had a list of all the senators and as fast as he interviewed them he would check the names off and he called every senator by name and remembered their faces. He landed. We shall keep our readers posted from time to time as to what is going on in the legislature. Keep an Eye on Bill. To the colored people of the new state of Oklahoma: Keep one eye on "Altalia Bill" and those other Texas and Arkansas Democrats, and when this constitution is adopted, if it is not right, see that it is not ratified by the voters of the new state. You must see that good men are nominated for the township, county and state offices. Use your ballot effectively and make it count. If you find a good moral Democrat that you can trust and a soalawag Republican in whom you have no confidence, vote for the Democrat. You must use discretion and good judgment as to the class of men you elect to office. The principles of the Republican party are right and superior in every way to democracy, but still there are men who call themselves Republicans who are for revenue only and who resort to any trick to get the dollar. Vote early and often. oo I. %, : EMPORIA. KANSAS. Mr. ant Mra.

Why Not? s and Ladies Orient. 1009 St. Louis Avenue, Kansas City, Mo. tailor and cleaner EX-SLANE PENSION Goodread of the New Year-Soft Mate Have Taken the Season by Storm. If there can be said to be any difference in the shapes of derby hats that difference lies in the crown, which this season is much higher. It is predicted on good authority that representative spring shirts will show a decided preference for extreme crowns. Attention still centers on the efforts to create a style for brown derbies, though the public shows little or no disposition to accept them so far. Manufacturers' new samples show a variety of shades in brown. I put the best known shops are not predicting a successful season for them. A new departure in the derby hat which seems to have caught the public fancy is the extensive use of fine materials. The texture, material and trimming and the silky appearance of the felt proclaim at once that quality is there and so clearly evident that even the unpracticed eye appreciates the difference. While the price-$0 may stand in the way of an immediate purchase, the man who once wears a derby derby is loath to return to the regulation quality. The rich appearance of the more expensive hat and the durability and preservation of its color and shape offset the slight increase in cost. Too many men hesitate to change the shape of their derby once they have found a becoming block, and it is really a difficult thing to convince the man of plainer ideas concerning dress that he should adopt one of the new high crown shapes. For the man who does not fancy a high crown there is a rather flat crowned derby with a some " Beginning at the top the cut shows the cap hat of 1838, the high crowned derby, the "Master William," the "knockabout" and the alpines. What pointed brim, which is more belonging to certain types than the high crown. Soft hats have taken the season by storm. More styles in these are shown than for many years back. An unprecidented departure the soft hat has taken is its universal use for evening wear. The hat so used comes in black only, is well made and lined with satin. The name that distinguishes it from the alpine is "Tuxedo," and it may accompany all styles of evening clothes and go to almost any function with dignity. The most popular soft food of the season is made of belly nutria. The material is taken from the under portion of the little animal, which inhabits the Brazilian boundary along the Flatte river. A strip of the belly is taken from the pelt and put through certain processes which render it as soft and fine as the consistent silk. The pelt turns water and does not spot with rain or snow. The nutria is similar to our beaver, but is smaller in size, and it produces the finest material for heat making on the market with the exception of beaver. The soft hats made from it come in several shades, but soft fawn color seems to be the most popular. There are several shapes also. The college boy wears his hat with a ring crushed in the crown. This style is called "Master William." Then there are the "telescope," the "knockabout" and another style which to a considerable degree resembles the shine. Silk hats are always interesting, just as are ladies' evening hats, and the shapes change from one season to the next. Very young men wear crowns a trifle less curved or balled than the cut represents if there is any perceptible difference in the shape. On the other hand, styles in such hats for older men have the bell crown much more emphasized and are a bit larger and heavier looking. The middle aged man wears a grograin silk band on his silk hat, while for the younger man is substituted a narrow band of cloth. Owing to the increased popularity of the soft black hat already described for evening wear there has been a decided decline in the use of the opera hat since early fall. Designer. Fashion's Echoes Ribbons are extensively used in dress trimmings. The leg of 'mutton is the latest revival in sleeves. Extremely popular are all sorts of braid garments. High standing collars hold their own again on outdoor garments. Ribbon embroidery is seen on the newest evening gowns and waistbands. Very smart are the capes and cape sleeves on the newest conts and dory manis. The French "brend roll" twist is the fashionable back hair dressing for the high collarure. The dart is in again—the old fashioned seam that runs in pairs each side of the bodice front and fits like a glove. Very light shades are replacing the "all white" gloves, light tan and mode being favorites. These are worn not only with gowns to match, but also with those in contrast. ```markdown ``` A Wifes Experience and a Common That Points a Near. "Aren't men funny?" said the little bride who was learning how to cook. "Here is a whole panful of soup stock that has got to be thrown out just because of a form of mental indigestion that has attacked John since he saw it. "Why, we lived for weeks and weeks on this very stock or some just like it You know, one of the things I learned at cooking school was how to make soup stock. So the very day we came back from the honeymoon I made up a quantity of it and put it in the refrigerator. John likes soup, so we commence dinner with it every day. It was awfully easy just to take a few spoonfuls of the stock and season it one day with tomatoes, the next day with peas, the next day with celery, and so on. John ate it as though he were famished and complimented me so that I finally took out my bowl of stock and showed him how I made it. "What," he said, "I've been eating the very same soup every day and thought I was getting infinite variety? I suppose," he dung at me, "you fancy a soup by any other name would seem as tasty. I thought there was an awful resemblance between those daily portions of liquid refreshments. Why, it's just like those cheap perfumes that they make all in one big bottle and pour into different shared bottles and label with different names." "And from that day to this," finished the disappointed bride, "he has looked upon my soups with suspicion and my cooking with contempt." "My dear," said the experienced housekeeper, "some day you will learn that what a man doesn't know won't hurt him and that it is only when the domestic wheels revolve in the dark and he can't see them go round that he appreciates your housekeeping. Talking a man how you do things is just as disillusionising as giving him a peep behind the scenes at the console operas."—New York Press. AN ODD BOOKCASE. One That Will Hold Large as Well as Small Valence. If you have ever bought bookcases you know that it is practically impossible to find one that is suitable for holding both large and small volumes. To meet this want here is an attractive design. The case occupies no more room than one of the everyday style, but observe how magnificently it is media. M FOR BOTH LARGE AND SMALL BOOKS. You see the point, don't you? A good part of the space is reserved for small books, but at one and the shelves are placed that large volumes may be set upon them from the open side of the case, the sides of the books being exposed rather than the backs. Of course the men may be carried out simply or elaborately, according to the taste and still of the handy man or woman who takes it up.—Ledifer Home Journal. Like Mistress, Like Mold. "The manners and temperament of the mistress of a house are reflected in her servant's." An enterprise best agent made this statement. The manner in which the servant answers my commons to the front door is almost invariably the clew to what kind of treatment I may expect from the mistress. When a maid appears and wears a forbidding scowl on her face I can be absolutely certain that the woman of the house is a person of a very uncertain temperament. If, on the contrary, I am greeted with a smile and something that seems to approach cordiality I enter the house feeling relieved, for I know that even if the mistress refuses to buy the books I have to offer she will do so in a manner that will make me feel that I am a human being trying to earn an honest living and not a social outcast. Bervarys reflect the atmosphere of a household, just as children reflect the breeding of their parents."—Philadelphia Record. Dangerous Use of Arsenic. While arnica is one of the drugs included in nearly every household medicine chest, it is doubtful if the average mother, who is wont to apply it so freely to the fingers and toes of her little ones, realizes the risk she runs. Although many home remedies call for the use of arnica, it is said to be highly dangerous to apply it to the skin unless greatly diluted. One part arnica to five parts water, the proportions commonly advised, is said to form a lotion the use of which is attended with great danger. A correspondent who has looked up the subject says that arnica should be diluted more than ten times. "If used in full strength," she says, "arnica will cause paralysis. A good combination is that of one teaspoonful of arnica to four tablespoonfuls of witch basil, and even then it should be used in moderation, as experience has shown." Mrs. J. M.

Sorrell, Office Madden Building, Vinita, Okla To our many readers: We are compelled to say that from now on if you don't get your paper you will know the reason why. We are in need of money and the paper house will not furnish paper without money nor will the printer set the type without money; neither will Uncle Sam haul the mail without money, and as we are not related to John D. Rockefeller, it is impossible to carry the accounts and we might as well shut up shop as to try to send the paper without receiving any money. Our subscribers in Topeka are considerably in arrears, and if they would take a holiday and come to the office and pay up, we think they would feel better. They take a holiday at Christmas time and buy presents and other foolishness and let the newspaper man suffer. We think that their consciences would not bother them if they would call this way and settle up.

It is nerve force that causes the brain to direct the motion of your body; it is nerve force that causes your heart to pulsate, and send the blood through your veins; it is nerve force that causes your stomach to direct food, your kidneys to filter the blood, and the liver to secrete bile. In fact, nerve force is the power that runs your body, so if you feel worn-out, irritable, nervous, cannot sleep, or eat well, have pain or misery anywhere, your nerves are weak, and your system run down. To restore this vitality take Dr. Miles' Nervine which will strengthen and build up the nerves. You cannot be healthy without strong nerves. "For eighteen years Dr. Miles' Nervine and Anti-Brain Pills have been my close companions. Early in married life, while raising children, my nerves became all worn out, could not sleep, had no appetite; indigestion very bad and had such awful dizzy spells. Then I began using Dr. Miles' Nervine, and at once I began to improve, and soon found myself in perfect health." 224 Pittsburgh St. New Castle, Pa.

The groom followed and was accompanied by Mr. Joseph Glenn and Mr. George Jones. The minister immediately commenced the marriage ceremony which lasted nearly thirty minutes. With the conclusion of the ceremony the guests were invited to the dining room where a magnificent spread was placed before them.

I was trying to think of some nice but inexpensive way to furnish the second story rooms when Aunt Anna came to visit us for a month, says a writer in the New Idea Magazine. "Twenty years ago the carpet question did not worry young housekeepers for every bride was expected to have a fine web of rag carpet to begin with and really I think there is nothing prettier or more suitable for upstairs bedrooms than the soft tones of a well made rag carpet," said Aunt Anna after I had told her of my phone and the size of my purse. "But how can I make one?" I asked later thinking of all of the costot garments in the family. "It going to work," she replied, "and when you run out of material as home call on your aunts and cousins." So we began at once and soon had all our material collected. "To insure a smooth, even carpet we must use all cotton rugs and cut them all of such width that when woven they will be of uniform thickness. Rugs cut from soft goods will heat up closer in the weaving than those cut from stiffer material and should be about as thick as six ply of the chain or an out straw when woven into the carpet," said Aunt Anna as she rolled and twisted a strip between her fingers. First we cut in strips all the dark and all the bright colored rings. These we mixed well, lapping the ends about an inch and sewing them diagonally across with the machine. Not stopping to clip the thread each time, we soon had a long strip sewed, and then, clipping it apart, we wound it into balls of about one pound each. We had decided to make rings 9 by 12 feet. These would require twelve yards of yard wide carpet. Each square yard of carpet requires one pound of rings, so we stopped when we had sewed twelve pounds of rings. The rags were sewed hit and miss and of so many colors that we selected the chain in six different colors, a pound of each, and had it laid thread about so that there would be no stripes. Besides the rags the carpet cost. Six bounds of chain, at 25 cents per pound, $1.50; twelve yards weaving, at 10 cents per yard, $1.20; total $2.70. A Concertent Kitchen Table: The design shown herewith illustrates a table that represents not a little experience and consideration of what goes to make the most convenient table, says the Ladies' World. It has a large top, which keeps dishes and pans from getting into inextricable confusion, and it has a large num- A KITCHEN TABLE. ber of drawers, which are always convenient, and also closet room. Two slides pull out, on which pans may be set when one is sitting at work at the table, while in the long space under the center of the table is a chance to hang a multitude of kettles and other kitchen utensils. These are protected from dust by a washable curtain that slides upon a rod at the front of the opening. The French Apron Fad. The wearing of aprons is one of the old useful fashions now being revived greatly to the saving of our frocks and the comfort of the wearers. The quaintish apron has been set aside for awhile but is now once more asserting itself. The stylish useful has always held its own. The French have turned a kindly eye to them, and in the days of Louis XIV women wore them and their bunch of keys, showing they were veritable housekeepers. In the time of Louis XIV ladies of the court dressed them when employed in needlework and other arts, and it is from that period we are restoring the many notions of lace and muslin to our favor. Sometimes they are of light colored crepe de chine worked in gold. More useful ones of thicker fabric have large pockets. They are worn with pretty ribbons low and these ribbons sometimes show up the pocket. Sometimes strong ones are laced with ribbon at the edge by means of cyclot holes. A saving item for housekeepers. A preserver of time and patience something to wrap the silver in when it is to be laid away for company use. It is a tissue paper in which there is no sulphur, and it positively keeps the silver clean and bright any length of time says a correspondent in an exchange. Little receptacles for hatpins are of the paper bottle style or in the vase-like form of silver. Posecating little handy pins are in sets of three in lizard skin cases. Peacock and other feather designs are shown at the enamels and gold. Insect animals, ferns, leaves and wavy side flowers are now generally utilized as motifs in original and charming designs of standard articles of jewelry. Among the stones upon which fashion at present bestows her approval are the peridot, amethyst, tourmaline, aquamarine, zircon, garnet and the new American stone, kunzite. 4 @RES AND SONS, WE WANT 6,000 demas Brym, M.
