High Realities.

The search after truth is the most
necessary of all the means to the
ends of life. 1t is hard to conceive of
one as having really lived in this
world who has not possessed himself
of it's high realities. This is what the
scriptures say to us in ceaseless itera-
ton, and this is what men say to
us who have anything to say which
we care to hear.-Rev. w. j. Tucker,

In the Secret.
Those who fellowship with His stf-

Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-14

One or two frocks Of serviceable color,
but which are lightened in effect by the
bodice trimming so that they are rather
dressy In effect, will be found most con-
venient, as there are a great many occa-
sions where a light-colored frock would
hardly be suitable. while, on the other
hand, a separate blouse or fancy shirt
waist would be rather too informal in
style.
The Illustrations show two gowns of
this type, either Of which would be very
good for at-home wear or for evening
wear at the theater, the restaurant din
ner or any like occasion when one does
not care to wear an elaborate light
colored gown.
These dark-colored gowns, however, to
be becoming require good deal of lace
about the bodice. and many of the best
models have a deep yoke back and front
and entire sleeves Of lace. This idea Is
shown in the black gown sketched, the
model being in lustrous black crepe with
a yoke Of baby Irish insertion combined
with Valenciennes, the sleeves being
composed Of two-inch ruff1es Of the val
gathered on over a thin net lining, so
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-14

that they are slightly transparent. The
lower part of the sleeves, which are in
elbow length, are finished with wide
band of the Irish lace insertion, put on
like an upturned cuff and finished about
the edge with a frill OF the val. lace.
The yoke was lined with net, SO that it
was rather transparent, these thin Jokes
doing much to relieve the somberness Of
q dark gown. as well as adding much to
It's becomingness.
The bodice was shlrred at the shoul-
ders. back and front, and was cut to
form a curved design about the yoke,
these curves or scallops being finished by
stitched straps of the material, the ends
of these straps crossing each other. A
wheel-shaped design, embroidered IN
black silk, was used at each intersection
of these straps. The upper part Of the
sleeves had little cap-shaped pieces Of
the crepe, finished about the edges with
the curved straps There was a high
draped glrdle of the crepe. The skirt was
made with a tucked panel In the middle
of the front and back and on each side,
five deep, graduated tucks trimming the
bottom Of the skirt. which was very

paper backing, are all very desirable. the
English sllk-fiber papers, which have a
satin-like surface, and are TO be had In
beautiful coIorings, also giving q very
rich effect.
For drawing rooms the two-tone brocade
tractive, and for bedrooms the cut-out
flower borders are very artistic. Another
very good method for decorating bedroom
walls is the use of the crown, which Ats
the top Of each strip Of paper. For In
stance, several OF the favorite designs
showing this crown frieze have ,--rI
flower vines, twined in treIlis effect, the
crown, which shows denser masses Of
dropping vines exactly matching each
stripe and forming an arch at the top Of
each section.
AS to the coloring Of wall papers, green
is particularly desirable, especially for
rooms that are well lighted, and light,
warm shades of brown also form an ex-
cellent background for books and pictures
Warm tans, yellows and new color, called
champagne, all provide pleasing tones for
rooms that lack sunshine, and red Is also
very good for halls, libraries or living
rooms.
The upstairs rooms and sleeping apart
ments are usually done In lighter colors,
a warm, soft shade OF gray, with flower
frieza being very attractive, with white
woodwork and light furniture, as are the
dainty pinks and blues, which are always
popular. BEATRICE CAREY.

Homemade Gifts

One of the cuts shown on this page
depicts several useful little gifts which
would not be difficult for the home worker
to copy. The workbox was made Of paste
board, covered with figured cretonne or
silk, with the inside In plain color mate
rial to match. The box can be opened
and laid fat by untying the ribbons at
the corners, so that 1t Is q very conyen-
lent style for travelling, as well as for
everyday use.
The inside is fitted up with pockets to
hold buttons, spools and thimbles, and q
needle case and pincushion are also added
These pockets are shirred onto a rubber
band, which is run through casing in
the top Of each, two pockets being placed
on alternate sides OF the box, with fan
mel needle case on one Of the other sides
and pineushion on the other.
useful addition TO such a workbox Is
shown In another of the sketches in the
scissors and emery chain, although such
an article would make handsome gift in
itself 1t is made OF inch-wide figured
ribbon, with a small silver handle en-
broidery scissors at one end and a silver
topped emery at the other. On the ends
OF the ribbon row Of brass rings was
threaded, to give the required weight and
stiffness, these rings being buttonholed
with embroidery silk to match the ribbon.
Photograph frames, though not new, are
always acceptable as gifts, the tapestry
and brocade kinds being much liked, as
they are an acceptable addition to any
drawing-room table. The one shown In
the drawing was OF rich, softly colored
brocade, showing a landscape pattern. the
edge being bound with gilt tapestry braid
The shape OF the frame is first cut from
heavy cardboard, then a sheet OF cotton
batting is fastened on. Next stretch the
silk over the frame, pasting the outside
edge before cutting the silk for the open
ing In the center. The back is OF heavy
cardboard. either tinted to match the
frame or In plain dark green.
:, slit Is then cut through which the
photograph can be slipped, and a card
board or brass standard Is inserted, after
which the back is glued 70 the front part
and the edges bound with the braid.

wide and full. The design Of the corsage
of this model could also be used for
separate waist II desired, the material of
the waist exactly matching in color the
skirt and coat which 1t accompanies.
The other frock sketched was In brown
voile, the model being made over a white
taffeta lining. The bodice had a little
square yoke back and front of cream
white Chantilly lace, little Of the lace
also showing at the lower part of the
bodice front, as will be explained by the
drawing. Bands of chiffon broadcloth of
the same color as the volle were used to
outline the yoke and also form the straps
over the shoulders, back and front, the
lower part OF the skirt also being trim
med with bands of the cloth.
On the bodice these straps were orna-
mented with hand embroidery and tiny
gilt buttons, connected with twists Of
brown silk cord also added to the bodice
trimming. A narrow bias band of white
SILK striped with brown velvet lines
piped the upper edge of the broadcloth
pand about the yoke, a strip of this pip
Ing also being used on each side Of the
lace inset In the lower part of the bodice
'front.' The sleeves were in elbow length
ana were tucked crosswise for several
inches from the inner seam back and
front. The lower edge Of the sleeve was
banded with a strip of broadcloth, the
edge being finished by plated rufiles of
brown chiffon, with an inside rufie Of
cream lace.
For wear with such gowns elbow-length
kid gloves are required, but this season
the white gloves are seldom worn except
with white or very light colored gowns.
The ecru shades. especially in the pale
brown and yellowIsh tan shades, are
very smart with brown or dark blue
gowns the black glove also still being in
great demand, especially In glace kid.

The old-fashioned conventional wall
papers that came with a border to match
have made way for much more artistic
effects, although great many people still.
for lack of better knowledge, seem to
cling to this out-of- date treatment, much
to the detriment Of the other furnishings
Of the room. For most rooms, especially
such apartments as the living-room, din
ing-room, and in fact, almost any of the
frst-fioor rooms, plain ground paper
lends itself more advantageously to the
other furnishings than one with design,
and makes a charming background for
pictures, dainty china and any other deco
ration of the sort.
The new idea is to relieve the effect Of
these plaln-colored walls by using a pic
torial frieze, these friezes coming in all
sorts of artistic designs, showing color
schemes which are really delightful. The
marines are among the best of these
friezes, as the sections can usually be 30
arranged that there Is no monotonous
repeating Of the figures
For instance, one Of the new friezes
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-14

seen, designed for dining-room, showed
Breton fishermen dragging their nets, the
foreground portraying an expanse of
water with little white-crested waves,
with the picturesque figures of the fisher
men vaguely outlined against the cloudy
sky. This frieze repeats every SO inches,
and the colorlng is mostly In reds, browns
and blues upon q greenish-white back
ground.
Other very good water scenes show fish
ing boats, one favorite design picturing
feet Of barges, showing dark against
the red and gold Of the setting sun, an
other charming design 10 be used as a
bathroom frieze depicting sea nymphs dis
porting themselves in the waves. The
coloring Of this design Is mostly of green,
white and blue, and combines charmingly
with grayish-blue side wall.
The landscape friezes have already been
referred to In these articles, but deserve
a second mention, as many OF the new
ones are especially effective. The forest
tree friezes, showing masses of trees
against sunlit sky, are very good when
used with dark blue or green sidewall,
while other landscape friezes show beautI-
full lake or mountain views.
For upstairs rooms these friezes are
also used, many charming ones being on
view In the housefurnishing shops, for
use on nursery walls, chlldren's bedrooms,
etc.

NEGROES IN BUSINESS.

Quite striking comment on the
progress of the Negro in business life
may be found in the recent meeting
Of mercantile and realty company
incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey which Is conducted by and for
the Negroes. More than 1000 stock
holders appeared in person at the an.
nual and about 1000 more were rep
resented by proxies. At the meeting
1t was reported that during the year
the company had acquired land in
Parkway, N. j., that would accommo-
date settlement OF 10000. Besides
there were 12S lots owned in Plain
field, 2Os in Sag Harbor and over 100
improved properties in the city OF
New York.
A new building is being erected in
New York as the headquarters OF the
company in which it is proposed to
conduct department store that will
furnish employment for about 800 Ne
groes In various capacities.
The president Of the company called
the attention of the stockholders to
the housing Of foreigners by white in
vestors to the exclusion OF the Ne
groes who are being driven to unde.
sirable localities and told them that
through the company it would be pos.
sible for members of the race to
build their own houses an dthus aid
the people in the only tangible and
permanent way"
1t Is interesting to note that the
company now has about 5000 stock
holders, all Negroes. An enterprise
Of that sort properly conducted can
not fail to be Of value to the race,
the members of which around New
Yor khave shown their interest in
the purchase of $4,000 worth of stock
