THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXVII. NO. 52. Editor Mitchell's Long Journey. In Southern California. The Arrival at Los Angeles.—Royally Received—That Palatial Hotel—An Interesting Recital. (Continued From Last Week.) This was a land of perpetual summer, through which we were now passing, a country where beautiful flowers, the year round pleased the taste. It was a woman's paradise, so to speak and a source of never ending pleasurable emotions to man. For the first time, we were passing through Southern California. The orchards of lemon trees were pointed out to us else we would have never known about them. A VERITABLE FARMER'S PARADISE. Here too was the country of good roads and as we proceeded further we saw many automobiles. The soil in California is very fertile and in many places it is thirty feet deep. No fertilizers are needed and the crops raised by the Japanese, the Chinese and the Americans would surprise any one and fill the average farmer in other States with wonder. We were nearing Los Angeles now and a uniform baggage agent passed through the train. He approached us with the salutation, "Welcome to Los Angeles." He stated that automobiles in charge of the local committee would be there to convey us to our hotel, and that everything would be done for our comfort. A WORD ABOUT RACE PREJUDICE We had made enquiries of the porters pertaining to conditions in Los Angeles relative to the citizens of color, better known as Negroes and we were told that while race prejudice was not much in evidence there twenty years ago, now it was about as bad there as anywhere else. We had been assigned to the Hollenbeck Hotel, a large white hostelry and we showed our letter of assignment to the porter. He read it carefully and then looked up thoughtfully while a puzzled look overspread his countenance. "Well, sir, they may take you in there, but they don't want you." He had worked out the problem to his own self-satisfaction, and for days after that as we traveled through this land of sunshine and flowers and on these speedy palatial rolling palaces ascended the Sierraas and the Rocky Mountains above the clouds, the words of this porter rang in our cars, —"Well, sir, they may take you in there, but they don't want you." THEY WERE ALL THERE We had reached Los Angeles. We passed nimbly out of that palatial Pullman car which for a night and a day had been our home. True, there was the local committee with their handsome badges,--young white men the pick of this far western city. They were there to meet the bankers, all bankers. They started towards (Continued on Fifth Page.) Gentlemen: Have you lost sight of the fact that every dollar you earn comes from the colored people? Isn't it fair when you spend your money that you should give a portion of it back to them? Where do you buy your groceries, clothing, shoes, hats and underwear? We are sure you don't trade with us. You seem to have lost sight of the fact that there is a Clothing Store on Broad Street owned and controlled by colored people in Richmond. We do not ask you for all of your trade, but wont you please give us a portion of it? Quit finding fault and saying we cannot please you and don't keep what you want, but call and see us and examine our goods before finding fault. If we cannot please you with our stock on hand we can make you a suit and overcoat to measure and style you wish from $15 to $75. Please stop and think and no doubt you will very readily realize your mistake. I. J. MILLER. 314 E. Broad St.—Wrong Slide. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA PHOTO BY W.

He appointed a committee, consisting of Attorney J. Henry Crutchfield and Mr. S. W. Johnson to examine the accounts in connection with the Old Folks Home. A DISCREPANCY SHOWN.

It looks now like the Fifth Street Baptist Church will hardly be able to seat the people next Monday night when Prof. Matthew A. Henson will tell the story of his trip to the North Pole. A great number of the white people are taking quite a keen interest in the coming of the only colored man that has ever reached the North Pole. The best institutions of learning in and about the city will therefore be largely represented. Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. has been invited to introduce the distinguished visitor. He has accepted the invitation and we are certain that Richmond will be proud of her distinguished banker upon this occasion. The reporter in going his rounds, gathering up the news is prepared to say that Mr. Henson will receive one of the grandest ovations ever tendered a public speaker in Richmond. It is fortunate that he will speak at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, because at least twelve hundred persons can be seated comfortably to listen to him. It is expected however that two thousand will strive to get a hearing. We are certain that those who are going for comfortable seats had bet- UFCALIFORNIA BROOKS LOS ANGELES, CA.

Fifth Street Baptist Church had fine services Sunday, Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham preached two excellent sermons. In the morning a large congregation gathered. Pastor's subject was, "Shake Thyself from the Dust, Arise and Get Up Again." From this subject the Pastor preached a sermon long to be remembered, giving his congregation much food for thought. All he said was timely and suited to the Church and the surrounding circumstance of affairs. He still impresses the fact that the Church as a whole and its members individually must discountenance many things that Christians of late years have let pass by unnoticed. The choir sang members of which are on the ross- f A. D. Lacy. already well in the morning and added much to the service. Sunday night the Pastor preached another great sermon, which was greatly enjoyed. Pastor will preach next Sunday morning and night. At 3:30 o'clock Sunday, the Church will assemble to partake of its communion. A large congregation is expected. Come out on time. (Sunday morning, Prof. B. H. Peyton opened Sunday School promptly. A large number was present. Teachers taught their classes as usual. Everything was lovely. Rev. Corbin Chandler of New York delivered a fine address to the school, telling them many things he saw in his tour among the heathens. The school voted thanks to Mrs. Josie A. Graham, Col. Roscoe C.

It has been arranged for him to speak and tell the story of his long journey to the North Pole at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Monday night, Nov. 28, 1916. His Lecture will be illustrated by pictures thrown on canvass, which pictures were taken by himself. This will be a Rare Treat for Richmond. All of the Colleges, High Schools and Schools have been invited to attend. It is expected that Union University, Hartshorn Memorial College, the High and Normal School and all the Grammar Schools will be out in large numbers. It is expected that a great number of White friends will be present. All the Pastors of the city are expected to be out.

The Afro-American Council Building that is located at 849 Wall Street was set on fire by an unknown man. A few minutes later there was an explosion. The gas had been turned on and a can of gasoline was used also to complete the destruction. The explosion attracted the attention of neighbors who lived next door. The fire was soon subdued and there was but little damage done. The Second Baptist Church has been conducting revival meetings for the last two weeks. Eight were baptized Sunday morning. There were 14 others who joined the Church. Mrs. Woolridge of 849 Hemlock was thrown Thursday evening by J. A. Dull of Florence, Cal. Dull was going at full speed and struck Mrs. R. W. Woolridge as she was about to cross Central Avenue at 9th St. Mrs. Woolridge's injuries are of a serious nature, one bone in her right leg being broken.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 26, 1910. The Annual Report of President Schurman of Cornell University at Ithaca N.Y. is unquestionably the oldest and the best that he has yet sent forth, to that institution and the public. It is practical as well as scholarly and contains recommendations which are of far reaching importance with reference to the institution over which he presides. It will richly repay a thorough perusal. PRESIDENT TAFT HERE. President William H Taft has been the guest of this city this week and he spoke here Wednesday afternoon at the City Auditorium. His trip to Pahana seems to have improved him. Certainly he has no cause to complain of the treatment accorded him in the Old Dominion. So far as voting for him is concerned, he can rest assured that if the white folks of this State can vote him out of office, they will do so and cheer loudly over the inauguration of his successor. President Taft has the best wishes of the populace for his future success, but when he thought he could be Democrat and Republican at the same time, he made the mistake of his life and there is no doubt but what he has had lived long enough already to realize it. RACE PREJUDICE IN BALTIMORE The City Council of Baltimore, Maryland has under consideration an ordinance for the segregation of the colored people in that city. The bill has been advanced to the second reading in the lower branch. The purpose of this is to set aside a certain portion of the city for the coloured people and they must reside there. In other words, these Negro-laborers would establish a Negro-town in Baltimore just as San Francisco has established a China-town. While this proposition would be advantage for others, for foreigners, for civilized Indian tribes, we have made such a lawyer, even a grade a lawyer or thruster, who would give an opinion that an American citizen of whatever race or nationality could be admitted without his consent. --- The scoliosis of the city could be laid off and so designated, but it would be up to the Negroes as to whether they would reside there. If they refused so to do, there is no power, outside of the mob that could exercise a compelling influence and that mob would necessarily have to be on duty from January 1st of one year until December 31st of that same year. The mob and its loaders would get tired. It would amount to about the same as did that much mooted council of mice, which by a unanimous vote decided that for the safety of the mice of the neighborhood the cat must have a bell tled around its neck so that all mice might be warned in time and get out of the cat's way. One wise mouse rose and asked a question which has been heard both in song and story. "Who will bell the cat?" The same question will be propounded in Baltimore. Who will force these Negroes to move into that portion of the city allotted to them? The City Council can continue its agitation and continue its readings of that pernicious meagre, but until the National Government takes away from the Negroes of this country the rights of citizenship, all of their efforts in this direction will be in vain. FROM AFRICA. Distressing Times—Outrageous Treatment. Providence Industrial Mission, Chiradzulo, Blantyre, B C A October 10, 1910 Ask and it shall be given you Matt 7:1 With tears through faith in Christ, this is my first privilege to write you and ask you for a little aid. My dear brethren, probably you have heard of my name being trained there in America, having returned here to my bonfighted people, as a Missionary under the auspices of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, located at Louisville, Ky. Since 1899 I had been serving God by preaching the gospel of His Son, Christ Jesus. Now I have built a Church, containing 256 memberships and four out station schools, 600 children in all. I thank God. But I have not written to any Christian friends. The Board is doing her best and the Lord Jesus Christ is doing more by increasing the work in this field. Two months ago I left here with my three Christian friends towards the coast to preach the gospel among my poor country men, who are under the influence of the Portuguese Company, who arrested me for preaching the gospel to my poor people Not only because of greaching, but also because I denounced their cruel treatment and filthy living among those poor naked girls. I could not express how they are treating Natives and how they are hating the Missionaries. They told me this people shall never hear the gospel for no Missionaries shall be allowed. And this is true for I have travelled through the east in Portuguese territory and I have seen practically no Mission station there. The people are quite ignorant of God's name. I asked them why they are objecting the Missionaries to come among their subjects, they told me that Missionaries are no good, if we allow them they will ruin our subjects so that we may not be able to control them any longer. I said to them God is able Government without God will not stand. Therefore they commanded their people to take charge of me. Three days I was under the guilds of two of their protestors that I may not go again among the people to pleach or that the people may not come where we craped or to sell food to us. They failed to chain me, but they succeeded in telling my poor people not to come to hear us by grace of God, to our surprise we saw one chief and his wife come by night to supply us food. But when one of the police saw him he reported and the chief was brought before them and asked him many questions in the way of frightening him. But he with trembling voice answered that he has a right to feed Missionaries. And was told not to do it again so we made up our mind to leave the place. And by night the same chief brought his son to us that we might take him and teach him about true God whom we believe. Nearly all headmen of the land are willing to send their children to our school. My dear brother, it will seem as I am out of the order why I am bothering you. Yet through faith in Christ I believe you are God fearing people. There fore I am not afraid to ask please help us in any way you can. We want to build a school, $500 will build a school. Enough to receive 500 children from various parts of B. C. Africa, especially for those who are under influence of the Portuguese officers. We are getting ready to begin the work early nort year, the timber in making. We are expecting to get a little help from our Christian brother, to all who may get this copy. And if you can see the necessity of helping us in means, forget not in before our Mercy Beat, and give us encouraging words as we are simply babies in God's work. Desiring that God's blessings may rest upon you, this leaves us in prayer. We are your African brothers in Christ, JOHN CHILMBWE. —We have a constant demand for houses and flats. If you have anything to rent on sell, list it with me, and you will get quick results. In A.

WHEN a man learns to understand why a woman will change the furniture about so that a fellow never knows whether he is to be comfortable or to stand on his head in a corner, then, and not till then, woman can be expected to understand baseball. Funny that the girl a woman picks for a daughter in law never comes within a thousand miles of being the one her son chooses for a wife. Nothing is more easeroperating when you are having a well substantiated fit of double reaffirmed worry than to have your friends come round and speak to you in soothing tones as they advise you not to. Doctors never take their own medicine, and women never wear the kind of things they pick out for their friends. Some people sit around waiting for something to turn up until death turns them down. The wise woman knows that the poor man who can earn a living is a much safer investment matrimonially than the rich man who can only use a living.

The committee was to examine this book and get the amounts therefrom in order to tell them with the records in Mr. Taylor's office, but on the night before, some one entered the Reformer Office and found the book and cut out the leaves which showed these transactions. The leaves were carried away and probably destroyed. NOT RESPONSIBLE Mr. B. A. Grays has charge of the office and is absolutely in the dark as to who is responsible for the outrage. As this action could not possibly benefit him in any way, it is known that he of all men is least blamable. On the other hand, there is no evidence to connect Mr. Taylor with the affair. The act is shrouded in mystery and it has led to all kinds of speculation and comment. Capt. Graves is very anxious to find out who is the guilty party. ECHOES FROM THE MEETING. The Citizen's Meeting at True Reformers' Hall a fortnight ago continues to be town talk. The attitude of Grand Worthy, Master Holmes in declaring himself in favor of making good any deficiency to the depositors and to pay them all dollar for dollar has had a most quieting effect. The creditors of the Order are lenient and do not seem disposed to press their claims at this time. NO WORD FROM RECEIVERS.

He Calls for a Race Leader.—The Past Record of the Republican What is our future to be? Shall a part of our people take away the foundation upon which we stand or shall millions of the race suffer loss of citizenship because of the few who are dissatisfied with the Republican Party? If so where is the gain? The move of the colored voters of the United States on Tuesday, November 8th was not a wise one, and to the grand old party that history says opened its gates to all enslaved people in 1860 is the same party to day. THE PLACE OF DANGER But here is where the danger stands. The colored people is the only race on earth that does not to name a leader and just as long as we remain without a leader the trouble will be as it is now. About five percent of the colored people stand before the public to advocate the rights of the other 95 percent, and we of the 95 percent, must take just what they feel like giving us. We have no voice to tell the world of our tender feeling, so we suffer humiliation every second and hour of our lives. RACES ALL HAVE LEADERS Every other race of people have a leader. But we are told that the colored people have too many leaders. But where are they leading us to, and what is our standing among the areas of people? Have not our rights been small and few? Yet the hundreds of colored voters last Tuesday, November 8th, voted to take away the little we have OPENED ITS GREAT DOORS. The Republican Party over forty years ago opened the great doors of man and womanhood to the colored people. It did this along the line of citizenship. The writer does not say that the Republican Party is free from mistakes because mistakes belong to all people, and the great failure with us is that we need a leader, a man who will forget self and look out for the perishing millions THE MAN WANTED. We want just such a man, it matters not where he is from—North, South, East or West. We want him to advocate our rights as citizens, Mr. Editor, we want a leader because our rights as citizens can not much longer be up for sale. We are misused in all lands. Wo of the 95 percent want a higher hour than the insult of being called a Negro, which is the direct cause of all our hardship. The 5 percent. of our race leaders believes this scapful name belongs to us. We want a leader, who will stand for our self respect. Young Man, Have You a Trade? Young Man, Have You a Trade?

A Brooklyn (N.Y.) man who probably speaks from long experience gives advice upon how to maintain equilibrium when compelled to stand in a car. "Many, persons," he says, "away backward and forward as well as from side to side. This often throws them into awkward positions, especially when carrying parcels, which make strap hanging impracticable. To overcome the difficulty one should place the feet seven or eight inches apart and one a little behind the other, say about three inches, with the toes pointing out. I have seen business men reading newspapers and standing in this way when riding to and from work with little inconvenience than if standing on solid ground." How to Keep Granss In one of the grape regions in New Jersey juicyulous bunches of the fruit are kept fresh by plinking every imperfect grape from the stem and then dipping the cut ends of the bunches in sealing wax and plitting it in a thin paper box, sealing the bag securely and hanging it in such a way that the bunch will be suspended without weight on the fruit.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20, 1910 CLEANING WITH GASOLINE. CLEANING WITH GASOLINE. How to Use It In Washing Soiled Garments and Fasthers. To clean with gasoline the first thing to do is to obtain gasoline of a suitable grade. A simple experiment will determine this and make you independent of the advice of your dealer. Pour a little on a piece of white writing paper of good quality. If the gasoline leaves no trace of grease on the paper after evaporation you will be safe in using it, otherwise it is easiest for your purpose. Second, buy enough gasoline both to wash and rinse your garment. Two gallons are enough for a dress, provided you wash it in a proper receptacle, which retains evaporation by exposing a comparatively small surface to the air. Many women fall of success because they do not realize the necessity of rinsing the garment in plenty of clean gasoline. The gasoline that is left after a garment is washed can be allowed to settle and the clear gasoline at the top used again. It is not available, however to use the same gasoline too often. Now as to the method of procedure for garments in general Soak the garment in gasoline If it is much soiled twenty four hours is not too long. In stead, your labor will be lightened and the garment saved much destructive rubbing. Be sure that the vessel in which you place the garment and gasoline has a tight cover. A wash boiler with two or more Turkish tanks is opened with two or more Turkish tanks, and over these place the lil and weight it down all around. Proceed a small washboard and, putting it into the hotter, rub the garment vigorously, just as if using water. Before wetting the garment it is a good plan to locate all the spots that need particular attention by heating around them with a thread of contrasting color. They are then easy to find when the garment is wet. The under parts of sleeves the neckbands and the hems of shorts must receive special attention in the matter of rubbing. Do not expect the gasoline to do all the work for it will disappoint you. Rinse the garment in clear gasoline and hang in the sunshine and air to dry. Finally press it with an iron of suitable temperature to remove the creases and also whatever color may remain. During the whole process up to the pressing keep your work out of doors. There are a few special ways of using gasoline which can be well suited to motion. White cloth teachers can be cleaned by using gasoline and their Stir to clean them to make a thin white paste. Thoroughly shake the foilther in this. Dr. be washing in the sunshine and stir. The Dr. will shake out heating your foilther twice soft and beautiful. Chiffon ruffles which are so soft but not crushed can be reinforced by shaking them on clear gasoline and then drying them in sunshine and air. Small gritles, such as finny neckwear in general which must be treated gently, can be put into a fruit jar nearly filled with gasoline. I sing a rubber ring, screw the top on tightly. Let theook for some time and then shake them in water. Huse in the same manner in clear gasoline. Dry in the sunshine and stir. Cont collar can often be cleaned by wetting a cloth in gasoline and then rubbing the soiled part. If the fabric will warrant it and is much soiled use an old toothbrush for this purpose instead of the cloth. Necklaces cannot always be cleaned by the simple rubbing process. If that is so try using a brush dipped in gasoline to scrub the rolled parts. Satin, of course, does not permit of this treatment. Grease spots can be removed by rubbing the spots with a good white soap after the article has been washed in gasoline. Both hard and rinse thoroughly. Gasoline in which soap has been used cannot be used a second time. Ethel Dressler in Chicago Trilune. OILING HARNESS. How to Make it Last Longer by Bimple Methods. Proper care of the harburs is one department of the stable that is too often neglected, but there is nothing more essential to the life of the harburs and the safety of those who use it. One quart of neatsfoot oil is sufficient for a double harburs. Wash the harburs well with soap and water and hang in a warm room overnight to dry. Next day it will be in good condition to receive the oil. Add a little lamp-black to the oil to color it. Apply with rag or brush, rubbing it well into the leather, and hang in a warm room overnight. Next day rub well with a dry cloth, and it will be ready for use. Harburs thus treated is much easier to handle, is far less liable to cause galls on the horses and will wear much longer. REVISED TO DATE. THE boy stood on the burning deck of the Bird, an airplane. And as he gured upon the wreck his tears dropped down like rain. Because not of the famies he wailed, But made his grief roused Because the ship had never sailed An inch above the ground, Now New York. How to Clean Soiled Clothing by Simple Methods. Pretty frocks are apt to pick up soil from grass and stains from fruit in summer, and, though white may be restored to their original condition, this is not always the case when the material is in dainty colorings. It is not generally known that lukewarm water and a little good white soap will remove many different status if the remedy is applied in time. From personal experience I have found that new paint will disappear if the material stained is rubbed together exactly as one might wash goods. I once stood close to a large pillar that had been transferred most of the paint to a long brown breadboth wrap. I was in despair, but a man standing by simply rubbed and rubbed not a trace of stain was evident. No agent beyond the rubbing "was used, but the paint must be taken before it is dry. Add stains will usually respond to an alkali treatment. One part of community, flour or washing soda to twenty parts of water is the proper proportion. A stain caused by an alkali may be neutralized with one part citric acid, vinegar or lemon juice to twenty parts of water. In both cases chloroform will usually restore the original color supposing colored goods have been treated. (One should keep away from the fire during the process.) Drops of blood should be treated with soap and warm water first and then be covered with a paste made of raw cornstarch, exposing it to the sun for fifteen minutes. It may be washed off and the coffee washed again. Status from coffee tea or chocolate should that be treated with hot water if the goods can stand it. If obstinate the stain should be soaked in glycerin. A stain of this kind on silk should be treated with glycerin mixed with cold water. In the case of fruit stains on colored fabrics apply equal parts of glycerin and alcohol. Allow the solution to dry and then rinse in warm water. In the case of white goods javelie water is a sure and if carefully done—a perfectly safe remedy for fruit stains. To make javelie water take one part chloride of lime and ten parts water, then one part of washing soda dissolved in four parts of water. Allow this to settle, then pour off the clear fluid into a jar or bottle throwing away the sediment. When needed for use, heat well and lay in the goods to be bleached. Haze in several waters and if the fabric is very sheer it might be well to rinse finally in a solution of hydrophilic soda one part and water ten parts. This is 55 neutralize the effect of the time which if left in the fabric might impair its strength. Stains caused by orange or lemon juice will usually respond to an application of one part ammonia to twenty parts of water. This is good in the case of either white or colored fabrics. Gross stains on white goods may be removed by covering them with mollasses and some people use the same reddy on colors. In my opinion just keeping the stains wet with alcohol is the better plan afterward gently sponging with a little warm water and soap. Rust stains on white goods are not difficult to remove. They may safely be steepeed in a solution of citric acid one part and water twenty parts. When the rust marks have disappeared the goods should be washed in warm water. Elizabeth Lee in New York, Telegraph RECIPES FOR BLACKING. How to Make a Liquid and an Oil Paste Variety A fine liquid black oil is made as follows. Put one gallon of vinegar into a stone jug and one pound of ivory black, well purified half a pound of leaf sugar half an ounce of vitriol and one ounce of sweet oil. Mix by stirring. This blending is highly recommended as producing a fine jet polish and is less injurious to leather than most of the pastes and liquid blockings in common use. A fine oil paste blackening is made when a quarter of a pound of oil of vitriol is ounces of tanner's oil, four ounces of ivory black and ten ounces of molasses. Mix the oil of vitriol and the tanner's oil together and let stand for one day. Then add the ivory black and molasses and the whites of two eggs and stir well to gether until there is a thick paste.

Fur and Satin Take Conspicuous Place In Their Makeup. Designs For This Winter, With Caps to Motch, Are of Burpassing Grace and Lux- Surely the top note of elegance and extravagance in evening cloaks has been reached this year. Novelties may still come, but anything more becoming, more lovely than some of the wraps of this season would be difficult to lunge. The fur wraps are of course in a class by themselves. Some of the new models inermine the loose, flowing capes, for example—are marvels of grace and luxury, but even with these the less costly fur trimmed confections of satin, velvet, etc., compare favorably, and they are certain to delight any woman who judges of the beauty of color and sheen and flowing lines rather than of the value alone. At first it seems as though these garments might have been cut at random—as though the loose, flowing lines had just happened without any design on the part of their creators. Study them more closely, however, and you will find the art that lies beneath these careless lines, these great revers and collars, these enormous sleeves. The unskilled could never approach such effects as are obtained by these free and easy lines. Black sash is the material par excellence in the season's evening wrap. V As a relief from this, however, other silks are generally used in the huge revers which give distinction to the coats. For instance, the coat in our drawing shows a wrap of black satin having enormous revers of brocade threaded with gold. The wrap is trimmed with bands of fur. At the side the gurtment is fastened with a large jeweled button. Trimmings of white are also used on some staining models shown in the shops. They must be used sparingly, however, and the best effects are obtained by a more suggestion of contrast in clay or ornaments or by touches on collar or revers. Among the furs used in the trimming of those coats skunk is exceptionally good. Its shaggy pelt is effective, where a finer skink, its luscer outer shone by the satin, would fall to give the proper contrast This fur forms the collar and the cuffs and is often banded around the bottom of the coat. An effective use of this fur is shown in the dull red satin coat of the large drawing, a model from a famous French maker. This has all its edges bordered with bands of skunk. The coat fastens across the front with a large gold button. Just below the waist there is a broad belt which is embroidered in soutache of the same tone. Here, as in other garments, a fetish has been made of the button, and some of the buttons on the evening cords attain the dignity of cabochons. Gold buttons are extensively used, and a gold bradding, or an interweaving of gold thread through Persian silks, which makes very effective trimming for coats of black or some other of the somber toned satins. Braid also supplements buttons and fur in the ornamentation of the evening wrap. It forms entire panels down the side; it is extended to the giant fasteninga; it is twisted into more and more elaborate designs, and to bring out its beauty often the design is pricked with touches of gold. A novelty in the way of a cap is designed to go with these picturesque evening coats and is a fitting associate. In beauty of design, in gay trimming and in quant effects nothing for evening wear has yet appeared that surpasses the new headaddresses. Take, for instance, the cap illustrated in our drawing for wear with the black silk coat. The cap is of brocaded stuff to match the revers. There are gold threads interwoven, and the cap is edged by a braid of gold. A fold turns back from the face over a full gathered crown. At the sides there are two gold tassels. This cap may be worn to the theater and may be kept on the head during the entire evening. There are other little caps of true Dutch genre, which, with their coquittish fells of lace, their hold braiding and their rosettes, might have been worn by some mund from the land of dikes. These as well as other little caps of eighteenth century design are meant for wear under the great black velvets and other handsome evening hats. Mary Dean THE SEVEN KINDS OF GIVERS First, those who give spontaneously and generously, but only to themselves—autogivers they might be called. Second, those who give thoughtlessly, without any real or high motive—givers of the occasion, as it were. Third, those who give as a sop to conscience and self-esteem; in a species of atonement for the evil they do—penitential givers. Fourth, those who give as a matter of display, to win public applause for their generosity—theatrical givers. Fifth, those who give because others give, because they are expected to give, and are ashamed not to give, and therefore give grudgingly—conventional givers. Blath, those who give because they feel they ought to give; who give through a sense of duty and not through love—moral rivers.

Seventh, those who give in the spirit of Jesus, who give because they love their neighbor as themselves, and above all things desire to help them—spiritual givers. To which do you belong?—Rev. E. L.

Wild oats are a peculiar grain which is sowed with a bottle and reaped with a patrol wagon. Phenomenal gravity does not assist statemanship, but it serves to keep off some of the good fellows. A "man's man" is not necessarily a man whom any old skate can take away from his wife for an entire evening. Speculation consists of botting that the big fellows are so much interested in robbing someone else that they will not notice you Why is it considered more of a credit to descend from a fine old family than to ascend from a common crowd of ancestors?—Literary Magazine of the Pittsburg Dispatch.

Always Losing His Bont. A colored man calling himself, "Captain John E. Simpson" and at times sailing under other names has been persistently swimming both whit and colored people in Norfolk Portsmouth. Newport News and Phoebus. His plan has been to represent that he has money in a colored bank in this city. He gets his victim to write to John Mitchell, Jr., President and tell him to send him six hundred and fifty dollars or some like amount at once to the person who is writing the letter or advancing him a small sum of money until he has gotten his money from Richmond. He alleges that he is captain of a sailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Thimble Light off Buckroe Beach and as he has been carrying on this kind of swindling for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks. He asks that the letter he sent to him in care of the person who advances, the money he never comes back to see if the money comes as he directs. We have written continuously to the people, who send these letters, but we have had quite a time to keep up with him. Keep clear of Captain John E Simpson or anybody who looks like him.

An Open Letter 54 West 134th Street, New York City, May 9, 1910 Dear Colored Citizens' I am trying to get Miss Mary Litzhurch, the Blind Soprano, "on her feet" professionally, because she promises to become one of our greatest singers. She has just been dis- charged from the Missouri State Blind School because of the age limi- t. She has no mother, and there is no one to assist her. Her need is immediate. The Summer season is the only season I can give to her. She is totally dependent upon me for clothes board, traveling expenses, tuition— everything. I cannot afford to give her more than my time and care (for I must always be with her.) Because she can support herself if given a start, I ask mothers and fathers and those who have not been blessed with children, to help me launch her in the concert field. It will take a great amount of money, and there will be weeks when nothing will be earned, while expenses run on. All can understand the financial sac riffes which I am compelled to make, to relinquish all of my own work in presenting her. If I "go under" financially, so will Mary Fitsburgh. I believe in helping the living as well as in burrowing the dead. I believe in helping young people to earn a living. I believe that many a young person has "gone down" because there was no reaching hand to "help up." I believe there are many colored mothers and fathers who will do glad to give this talented blind girl a "lift" without waiting until some white person "lifts her up." I mean to do my plain duty, as I see it, by giving "Blind Mary Fitzhugh" a chance in life, that she may become a self-supporting woman. Yours sincerely, E. AZALIA HACKLEY, At Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., Tuesday evening, November 29, 1910: Mr. H. G. Carter, Manager.

THE HUMAN LIFE FOR DESIGNING The fool who rocks the boat will probably be succeeded by the fool who waives to the crowd from an aeroplane.

"Pictures should be hung about on the general eye level, and this rule must be remembered and adapted to the eye level of a child when hanging pictures in a child's room or in a nursery," says Lucy Abbott Throop in The Woman's Home Companion. "The pictures will not be noticed at all if fungo too high. Pictures should be grouped according to the simple rule of balance. Taking a central vertical axis on a wall, pictures of equal size and general similarity of tone and color value will balance at equal distances from it, or one large picture will balance two pictures of half its size at equal distances from the center. If one has a fairly large picture to balance with several smaller ones the heavy one is to be nearer the center, and this will keep the feeling of balance. If you watch children on a seesaw it will explain this. If a heavy boy is on one end he moves nearer the center, and several smaller boys may be needed to make the balance perfect. A large picture is usually most effective when placed alone in a space with its center coinciding with the center of the space. Two large pictures, and on each side of a mantel piece, for instance, give a feeling of restfulness and dignity by their perfect balance. Pictures should be grouped in such a way that they have a relation to each other, are balanced on a center and in this way are made to tell a whole. It is a useful rule to remember that things become disconnected when they are divided by a space exceeding the width or length of the objects themselves. For instance, two pictures each 1 by 2 feet when hanging one above the other must not be more than one foot apart and not more than two feet apart when side by side. "Pictures should be bung from two hooks, and there should never be a triangle formed by the wire and the top of the picture frame. The construction lines of the room are straight and the picture wires should also be straight. It is better not to have the support of small pictures show, as it makes too great a complexity of wires. Tacks or small picture nails may be used, according to the size and weight of the picture." How to Remove Grease Spots. To remove grease spots from wall paper sprinkle baking soda over blotting paper and place over the spot and press with a moderately warm iron for a few minutes. The blotting paper will absorb the grease and the paper on the wall will be free from spots. To clean silk and woolen clothes of grease spots they may be gently rubbed with a cake of magnolia. Hold away for several days and then shake out. It will not hurt to break the magnolia in with a hot iron. First covering the fabric. Furniture For every room in the home in variety at this store.
