and bear equally his share Of the
burdens in the state. But even
worse than this for his life
OF today he has no individual re-
sponsibilities. Poor az his clothes
and his meals might have been,
they were nevertheless prepared for
him, and all he had to do was to rise
and dress, or rise dressed. having on
but one garment, and sit down and
eat. 1t was the same with all the
TOOLS and implements with which he
had to work.
Ihey we're ready for his hand and
all he had to do, like the mule or
horse he worked with, was to follow
the course mapped out for him. L
am very much afraid that the
average Southern man, does not ap-
preclate the education involved in
these little and apparently insignif-
cant responsibilities. But it all
comes painfully to the surface when
the Negro is put out to manage even
his most private affairs. 1t exhib-
its to shocking degree how serious
~ III need the Negro is or the most
common kind Of training, that kinu
Of training both on the farm and in
the home, which the average white
man has inherited now for many
generations. But so long as the Me-
gro is weak in this regard, so long
as he Is incapable of managing theses
minor details Of his everyday life,
just SO long will every form Of in
dustry with which he is identified,
and especially the farms, be- retard-
ed
I'm other words, this means that
the Negro will be a poor farmer,
and, therefore, the South will be
all the poorer because the Negro oc-
cupies such large farming territory
in the South, unless more attention
is given by the state to educating
and training the Negro farmers-In
most Of our Southern States, thOus-
ands Of dollars are spent each year
nm the agricultural colleges, district
agricultural schools, farmers in
st1tutes, lectures, and farming de-
monstration agents, but very lit
tie money is spent for the training
Of the Negro farmers in the same
districts. Some people seem to have
the idea that the white farmers need
all the training they can get In far
mers' Institutes, in agricultural
schools, through lectures and other
wise, but the same class of people
seem to feel that the Negro farmer
is born into the world with so much
natural intelligence that he can sue
coed in farming without having any
training whatever, without having
single dollar spent for his educa-
ton.
This is all a mistake and it is O.
shortsighted policy. No matter what
is done, the Negro will continue for
any number Of years to occupy one
fifth Of the land in the South ana
unless the Negro gets the most out
Of this soil it is capable Of produc-
ing, 1T means that the South will
send It's money to the West to Dur-
chase corn, to purchase pork, to pur-
chase other necessities Of life. which
the Negro farmer could. produce at
home and therefore help to keep the
money in his own country and en-
rich the whole South.

Eor SILK Embrolderies.

There are some things not of COM
mon knowledge by far that the en-
broiderer in silk will be very glad to
learn. One of these is the use of an
aluminium thimble in place of the Sill
yer or gold one of which you might
be the proud possessor. The steel or
the silver of gold thimbles are worked
into shape, and this causes the silk to
catch on them to the annoyance OF
the crocheter. Now the everywhere
apparent and little used aluminium
thimble is pressed into shape and
therefore has no metal projections,
which though infinitesimal are still
large enough to haggle and harass the
silk. For the same reason use a larg
er needle. The silk will pass through
the cloth easier.

Extremely Bright coIors to Be Prom
Inent In All the Before-Winter
Fabrics.

Navy blue and scarlet are appear
ing prominently in the autumn en-
semble of sartorial effects They
are the old army colors, deep navy
blue and bright red. and are striking
as well as youthful. Blue serge or
rough tweed travelling and motor
coats have hood collars of scarlet
broadcloth, and blue serge suits
show dashes of the scarlet In their
trimming.
With these semi-military suits,
many of which have smart touches or
black braid, are worn the broad SOM
brerp hats heralding the approach or
autumn. White is extremely good In
a hat of this kind, bent into be-
coming shape and trimmed simply
with a soft scarf. band or a mill
tary ornament.
Russian blouses and Norfolk jack
cts are made to be worn with or with
out an underwaist. With a flannel
or medium-weight waist they could be
worn far into the autumn, or even be
made to serve as jackets.

p, uE AND RED FOR AUTUMN SURE TO PLEASE THE BRIDE
Dainty Piece of Underwear, Made by
Friend, Makes a Most Acceptable
Present.

If your best friend is to be married
and you know that she will receive
quantities of silver and cut glass. why
not give her some handsome and
dainty piece of underwear that she
cannot duplicate in the shops?
A petticoat, for instance, made OF
fine cambric and net, with lace and
ribbon trimming, makes a particular
ly acceptable gift.
Make the foundation of cambria cut
over a seven gored pattern, fitting the
hips closely and closing with habit
back. The length should be three
inches from the floor, or exactly to the
ankles.
Finish the cambric foundation with
a ruffie of net edged with lace.
Make three wide Spanish ruffles of
net trimmed with lace insertion and
edged with good, strong lace, and put
these on the foundation one above the
other. Joining the top one with two
inch band of lace beading, and insert
a piece OF soft ribbon through this.
ending with bow at the left side.
These lace petticoats are much
smarter to wear with evening gowns
than silk or satin and, being made of
soft materials, cling as closely to the
figure as the finest messaline.
Even II the bride to be goes into
society only occasionally. she will be
delighted with a really elegant under
skirt of this description.

For Twisted Thread.

The woman who sews is very often
annoyed by having the thread twist
into knots, especially If she is using
a long thread.
Waxing the thread by running 1t
over a bit of beeswax is the proper
way to avoid this trouble; but wax
sometimes discolors the thread slight
ly and is not always desirable on that
account.
For either silk or cotton thread you
can use, the same as wax, small
piece of pure white soap that is per
fectly dry. This makes the thread
slip through the material very easily
and absolutely prevents twisted
knots

The all-feather turbans and hats are
difficult to make, and exquisite; they
are therefore expensive. There are
many beautiful feathers and feather
ornaments, however, within the reach
of everyone. Good, fancy feathers DO
not go out of style. Those in natural
colorings are natures paintings, and
people with an eye for beauty will al
ways appreciate them.
In dealing with ostrich feathers,
men have become so expert in dye
ing and manipulating that they have
produced them in all lovely col
ors and shades and in many in
tricate combinations of color.
great variety of what Is termed
fancy ostrich" is now a permanent
feather among millinery trimmings,
Some feathers, like the graceful bird
of paradise, are most beautiful In the
natural coioring, and. after this, white
is the best choice for them. The nat
ural feather of the peacock Is incom-
parably splendid. This feather. bleach
ed to white, retains shadowy markings,
and looks like the delicate ghost of
feather. One sees the white peacock
SO rarely that 1t Is for all time un'
forgetable.
The liking for feathers is commend
able, an indication of good taste.

NAT HAT nay be described as "crag-
VIZ gy" effects (for lack of more
w graceful name) are prominent in
the world of fancy feathers and
are in demand this fall. Feathers in
all sorts of ornaments and trimmings
and many all-feather hats are shown
by the best importers, representing
much patient hand-work, and marvel
GUS color combinations, on the part of
those who make them.
Nature seems to have delighted in
making feathers wonderfully beauti-
tul. They are as wonderful as the flow
ers, and their beauty is almost inde-
structible. The markings, mottlings
and set figures which we discover in
luills or other single feathers, are fair
ly awe inspiring, their inimitable col
ors and sheen, the gradations in size
Of the markings, the iridescent splen-
dor, which constantly changes as the
light strikes them at varying angles.
cannot be initiated. These are the
work Of great and mighty nature, and
beautiful beyond compare. 1t is no
wonder that mankind, especially wom-
ankind, chooses them as decoration
for the head And they are about to
pass beyond the realm OF millinery
and become decoration for the Golf
fure-at least this is the rumor float
ing about.

Bad Complexion
How to Remove A



Cosmetics can never really help a
poor complexion; often they are posi-
lively harmful. The sensible, rational
way is to actually remove the thin
veil of sitting half-dead scarf skin
from the face and give the fresh. Wig
orous and beautiful young skin un-
derneath chance to show itself and
to breathe.
This is best done in very simple
way. BY merely applying mercoli2ed
wax at night. like cold cream. and
washing it off In the morning. Good
mercoized wax can be obtained from
any well stocked druggist. II absorbs
the dlshguring cuticle gradually and
harmlessly. leaving brilliant natural
complexion. OF course this alos takes
with It all such facial blemishes as
red blotches. tan, moth patches, sal
llowness. liver spots. pmples etc. AS
freckle remover and general com
plexion beautifier this old-fashioned
remedy Is unequaled.

ords, briefly mention that the di-
vorce was granted on the grounds of
extreme cruelty and hahitual drunk

the cold, formal records.

1910 For a few short months all
went Well. Hardly had the honey
moon passed when the husband be-
gan to see the rising sun as he wend-
ed his way home to his wife. Many
times he saw several suns, and moons.
too, when he was intoxicated. This
soon became of frequent occurrence.
When in this condition, he abused his
wife and refused to contribute a cent
towards her support.
The wife worked hard and earned
a living for herself, and part of the
time for her husband. one day she
purchased bed for their home. The
husband returned home that night.
and enraGcd because she had bought
the bed, he threw it out of the door
into the alley.
This was the last straw, and divorce
proceedings followed.
