WASHINGTON TALKS
 AT COLUMBUS, GA.
SAYS NEGRO WOMEN SHOULD EDUCATE THEMSELVES FOR DO- MYSTIC WoRk.-GlvES SOME GOOD ADVICE.

Columbus, Ga. October 9.-(Special. J. When we began teaching cooking at Tuskegee a good many of our people did not like the idea much, saying that we were simply educating our people to con- tinue as servants" said Booker T. Wash ington, president of the Normal and In- dustrial school at Tuskegee, Ala, in his address before large audience at St. James A. NJ. F.. church in this city last night. Now. a matter of fact, nine- tenths of the negro women who cook. cook for white families and will do so for gener- ations to come. He then proceeded to emphasize the idea that inasmuch as the negro women are cooking, and will con- tinue to cook, the thing for them to do is to put so much conscience, culture and care into the work that it will rise almost to profession. He spoke impress sively of the dignity and honor of labor.
 The large church was entirely filled, and in a section of the building set aside for white people all the seats were occu- pied, some 200 to 300 of the most prom inent white citizens of Columbus being present..
 The address of the Alabama negro edu- cator was conservative throughout and it's cardinal feature was it's strong com mon sense. He gave his negro auditors sensible, wholesome advice and told them to fit themselves for the things that lay at hand, saying that the ideal education is the one that prepares a person to best do those things that lay in the path of duty. He declared that the negro race has made wonderful progress and should not be discouraged. He advised all negroes to cultivate thrift and to open a bank account right away.
 Tomorrow morning soon as you say your prayers go and put some money in the bank he said. Deposit 30 cents if that's all you have. Next week put $1 and the next week g. It will increase your self-respect, and the respect of those who know you

the negroes, the main object, if not the principal object, of which Is to bury the dead. We spend more time pre- pairing to bury the dead than any other nation on earth.' He urged that atten- tion be given to the affairs of this world as we'll as those of the world to come
 The speaker declared that the average southern white man does not feel com fortable giving orders to white serv- ants; it does not seem just natural. He prefers to employ the negro and will continue to do so as long as he gives as good service as white employe Tt is almost painful" he said, ito see white man who has been shaved by his old Uncle Joe get his first shave at the hands of white man. The southern white lady who doesn't mind asking old morning. to prepare an especially early breakfast, feels a degree of hesitancy in asking Mrs. Germany, Mrs. Belgium or any other white servant to do that And the average white man prefers to have a colored boy shine his boots, in fact he feels a little nervous when a white man is fooling with his feet. He will not go to the Greek boy unless the Greek has better equipment and gives better service than the negro boy
 The speaker urged reliability, thrift and virtue on the part of his race One of the most serious faults of the race is the unreliability of so many of it's members, he declared.
 The main line of thought in Washing tons address was also brought out, with more or less emphasis, by the other negro speaker, the Rev. E. J Carter, president of the colored ministerial union, who in his address of welcome, said that as a mat ter of fact what the majority of his race were to do was to give attention to the cotton plant and make the corn shout with the clouds
 This speaker declared that some negro speakers will make one kind of address in Boston. Mass, and an altogether dif- ferent sort in Columbus, Ga, or Mont gomery Ala. He added that Booker T. Washington was consistent. and made the same kind of speech the country over.

Yet there is danger of such fash

some colors with which matching hats
are infinitely to be preferred, while

Brown-haired women have a wide

skin is clear. but the gamut of browns
is precisely suited to them. This is
particularly nice just now, when
browns are 80 fashionable and the
shades are unlimited. There are

should be strictly avoided. for they

result To be effective black hats
must be large and they must have
curling plumes and feathers to fully
carry out the regal appearance. When
ever such a style overweights the
wearer 1t should be strenously avoid
ed, and In such instances 1t would be
well for black to be foresworn for
dressy occasions, using matching
color or white, as small black hats
seldom mean anything like distinc-
tion except for utility wear. The
heavy black lace, which Is really the
imitation Irish dyed, is handsome In
combination with velvet, and there
are some of the most beautiful pos
sible plumes and feathers seen this
season. In many instances the fiues
appear to be of phenomenal length.
but close examination shows the
feathers are not grown upon ostriches
Of marvellous size, but the fues. or
tendrils of one are knotted to those
of another, giving exceptional breadth
to the feather. One or more of these
curling round the hat and falling over
on to the hair makes trimming that
nothing else quite equals and the
black hats so treated are among the
most notable that the season has
brought forth.
