I am to have morning wedding with about thirty guests; may I ask several questions, and will you please help me plan for it?

chIIdren's Dresses.

The vogue for belted effects con- tinues to be strong as 1t was this fall. and Norfolks and Russian dresses are shown in variety of styles. says the Dry Goods Economist. Middy dresses and Peter Thompsons are also prom inent in the new lines. Vest effects revers and yokes are being used to a great extent. The vogue for simple tailor-made effects continues to be as strong as ever, and elaborate trim mings are seldom used, particularly in the colored frocks.

Am giving shower for girl friend of mine and would like if you would give me a few suggestions. Do not wish to play cards. but would like to do other things. I thought for one thing might have each guest hem a towel, and to the one doing. it the neatest and quickest give a little prize of some kind. Would that be suitable?
 The colors are to be yellow and white. How could best carry them out? What would be nice for the luncheon?-Anna

Kindly answer the following ques- tions regarding the monday wedding to take place on Thanksgiving day at the church. In what order should the maid of honor, ring bearer and the best man enter the church? What should be served at reception which will follow immediately after the ceremony? Is it necessary to send an invitation to each member of a family, or can say "Mr and Mrs Blank and family?" Thanking you most sincerely. Perplexed.

Albert Mendel & Co for exclusive evening costumes.
The Sentinel=record., 1912-11-24


 Every invitation where the hostess provides luncheon, dinner or sup per should be acknowledged at once, or else how is she to know for how many to prepare? My theory is that every invitation should be accepted or regretted just as soon as possible. Tn the strict sense of the word and according to the old-fashioned rules of etiquette, calls should be made af- ter accepting hospitality. but in this busy generation and on account of the great distances in cities one over looks the fact that guests do not pay party calls, for 1t is almost impossible. A bride may decide for herself exact ly the costume she wishes to be mar ried in. and short gown minus veil and train Is proper If 1t best suits her plans, her purse and her convenience.
The Sentinel=record., 1912-11-24

The best man with the groom en- ters the church from the vestry and with the minister awaits the coming of the bride. who is first preceded by the ring bearer, then the honored maid, and last the bride on the arm of her father, or whoever gives her away. If there is no one to do this she may enter alone.
 At that season of the year you could serve chicken or sweetbreads, creamed in heart-shaped pastry shells. sandwiches of brown and hite bread, olives, salted nuts, a salad with wafers. coffee. ice cream and of course the traditional wedding cake. Slip pers of white or pink or tiny white satin bags filled with candied puffed rice are pretty for souvenirs instead of wedding cake boxes.
 Good form requires a separate invi- tation for each unmarried member of a household; the 'and family" is strictly out of date. Economize in some other way, but not on your invi- tations.

INTERESTING FEATURE OF THE
CONFERENCE

An interesting feature Of the Con-
ference was the variety of interests,
religious, social, educational and sci.
entific represented at this meeting.
There were Africans, West Indians
and Americans of all denominations
and various shades of color. There
were Representatives of the very lat
est scientific views upon social and
racial problems, and there was at
least one man who spoke of himself
as having been discovered" a few
years ago, by a missionary though
he Is now conducting a little African
Methodist Church in British Guiana.
South America.
The British West Indies were rep
resented on the one hand by a fine
type of the British, Colonial official
in the person of Hon. J. r. Williams,
Director Of Education for Jamaica,
Kingston, Jamaica, and by a very
humble and simple black man in the
person of Washington Harper, shin.
wright as he signed himself, from
Barbados.
Among the striking figures in the
Conference, was a soft spoken Spanish
diplomat from Venezuela, DR.. Este

DECLARATIONS OF THE FIRST IN
TERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON THE NEGRO

Tuskegee, Alabama, April 10, 1912
1. The members of this Confer
ence, representing widely different
parts of the world, and equally differ
ent interests and experiences and
points of view with regard to the Ne
gro race and its problems, are pro-
foundry convinced that this meeting
which has brought them together for
discussion and consultation is both
timely and important, and that the
movement here begun may be most
beneficial and far-reaching in its et-
fects and the opportunities for CO.
operation which it opens up,
II. The members of this Confer
ence feel also that this school at Tus-
legee, which is a great experimental
station in racial education and at the
same time a center of Negro life, has
been well chosen as a place of meet
ing.
III. The Conference has been
strongly impressed with the great adj
vantages that must result from the
coming together of such various in
terests as here find representation,
racial, industrial, educational and re-
/ ligious. The Importance of meetings
of this kind to the Negro people in
the United States, Africa and the
West Indies is obvious; the interests
of European governments having col
onies in tropical regions directly con-
cerned, and the questions here dis
cussed are not without Importance IN
their effect upon the native races in
all parts of the world.
| w. AS far as concerns education,
no point has received more unanimous
support than the need to widen the
scope of education so that it may
touch life at as many points as pos
sible, although the application of this
principle must differ with the differ
ent conditions Of various localities.
| V. Impressed with the value of the
opportunities for discussion and OBJ
servation that the meeting has af-
forded, the Conference recommends
that similar international meetings
be held triennially; arrangements for
the place of meeting and the prepare
ton of a detailed program to be
placed in the hands of committee
to be appointed at this Conference.
The Conference also recommends that
efforts be made to appoint local CON-
mittees or representatives for the col
lection of information along lines 70

that is needful
We will offer to the General Confer
ence, at Kansas City, the plan Of an
Evangelistic Bureau, with central
office, through which all the evange-
lists of the Connection can work with
pastors of evangelistic gift, co-operat-
ing.
The home office is to direct the field
of operation. This will enable the
pastors, throughout the Connection to
find a reputable evangelist to assist
them in this much needed work Not
only this, but capable evangelists to
conduct city campaigns and to start
a revival movement Connection wide.
Our Slogan: A million African
Methodists in this QuadrenGium.
That is, enough added to the present
membership to make million. We
have now about 100000 members, and
we need, and must have, million
members by the General Conference
of 1915. Our one hundredth anniver-
sary of our beloved Bethel. With
an evaugelistic bureau in active OPP
Grafton, we can easily increase our
membership to one million.

church is to save souls, and we can,
God helping us, do the work by such
a movement.

money, but for work of the Master.
