Fashions Latest Sleeves.

The latest edict of fashion calls for a
sleeve OF much larger proportions IN
all outdoor garments. This is more
especially noticeable in evening
wraps, although many Of the newer
coat and jacket sleeves are greatly
enlarged in size, particularly from
the elbow down. It stands to reason
that the elaborate sleeve OF the smart
gown or separate waist cannot be
crowded into tight outer sleeve
without detriment. In the February
Delineator there is an exhaustive
article on the making of latest sleeve
on outer garments. Numerous Illus
trations add to the value of the text.

We have eight colored churches, six of
these are well organized, three Baptists
and three Methodist churches, one A. NJ.
E., one c. NJ. E., and one NJ. Z. The A
NJ. Z. church is solid brick, (6Ox4O) with
two wings 20x12 each, a VestibuIe 48 feet
square. This is a modern structure in all
its styles. The G. NJ z. Church is also
nice and cosy building, just completed
Bishop Cottrel held conference in this
Church in Nov. The Baptist churches
are frame buildings. There are two other
organizations without churches, so you
see we have taken God for our first
partner, so that our city might have a
sure foundation.
We have not neglected the business
part of life, and are seizing every oppor-
tunity by the forelock. We have four
teen business houses, half a dozen res
taurants, four good two story boarding
houses, owned and run by our people, two
others owned by men of our race, and
rented to white men. A majority of the
people who have ben here as long as
three years own their houses The land
for miles around this beautiful little city
is owned by our people, and thousands
are coming in from Texas, Arkansas, and
other surrounding states
Now is the time for our people to come
to the Land of the Free and cast their
lot with the brethren who have land
to spare. We have good public school
system in our little city. The colleges,
nigh school, and missions, are quite a
credit to our town. One can stand
on the hill in the northern part of the
town and see eight of these schools
Three missions are conducted by the ma

one of the A. NJ. E., one of the South

lawyers are not left out. We have five
lawyers all doing good business; two
doctors, both very efficient and have
large practices, and preachers and teach

OUR COLORED SHOE STORE.

The Capital Shoe Co., located at 7SS
7th street, northwest, and which has been
operating more than a year is the pride
of many race loving Washington Afro
Americans. The directors say that they
are elated with the patronage given them
by the colored people, but feel that they
deserve even more than they have re-
ceived. If one-twentieth of the colored
people of Washington would patronize
this store it would not be many weeks
before they would have to enlarge fu
twice its present size. Many prominent
people who are patrons of the store are:
