IA is still many weeks away -- in
n New York ana other eastern
IA cities-fur trimmings are max
- their appearance on fall coats and
ks, ana the new fur wraps are be
'@ displayed temptingly in the fur
iers' windows along Filth avenue and
on Thirty-fourth street. Fur fashions
are esta blshed for the coming season,
and only wintry weather is lacking to
make their immediate enjoyment pos
sible by Womankind
on September thirteenth, a perfect
summer Sunday with cloudless blue
skies overhead and gentle breezes
waiting from the South day when
white frocks were comfortable out of
doors, and folk In the country were
disporting on tennis court and golf
links-the scribe counted a dozen or
more we1l-dressed women wearing
furs on Fifth avenue. between the
Waldorf and the Plaza. That Is, smart
new tailored suits had bands of fur
at collar and cuff and stunning new
redingote coats, belted and falling be-
low the knee, were finished at the
neck with flare collars of sealskin,
skunk and the new Siberian mink, or
KOl1nSky. very uHCOUlIOTldDle THESE
fur Wearables must have been, and
one could not declare, either. that
they looked modish, so exceedingly
oppressive and summary was the day.
But to what lengths will not women,
intent upon being in the van OF the
fashion, go to achieve their ambition?
Surely, furs on a mid summary after
noon are no more inconsistent than
straw hats and pumps in February,
when pneumonia turks around every
corner in the chilling blasts that sweep
up from the river?
Chilling blasts, however. will very
soon be on their way now. October
is almost half gone and the next two
weeks win be the busiest of the year
in retail fur houses. Anybody may
wear a handsome fur collar in mid
October without appearing actually
absurd, and very soon--the lover of
furs ardently hopes--the air will be
frosty enough to make fur wraps COM
Portable.

SCHOOL IN AFRICA
Ladies Undertake to Build

Dark Continent.

Charge.
TO BE GIVEN NAME OF CITY

Their interest aroused in the cause
of education in Africa by the talk
given Thursday at the Y. NJ. c. A. by
Dan Crawford, a missionary to the
dark Continent. = !aIse number of
ladies of the city lave taken upon
themselves the responsibility of build
ing a school house in the very heart
of Africa. Livingston, the first mis-
sionary TO bore in to Africa, and in
whose footsteps Crawford followed,
said that this was the 'uttermost spot
of the earth and the nearest place to
the bo.tomless pit" so it is natural
that working in a spot like this there
should be days of gloom and depres-
sion; this is the missionary's greatest
foe But to this place Crawford went,
overcame this foe with work and has
there labored % years and is now on
his way back to that country. During
this time he has erected five schools
where he is trying to teach the black
people the gospel of Christ. He be-
iieves il: the black Kan for he has
seen God create HIM out of black clay
and he knows that he has white
soul.
After the erection of his schools he
found his greatest trouble in conduct
ing them the danger to the young
children attending, for lions and other
wild beasts seem to have a fondness
for little black people and carry them
off for their three meals a day. This
difficulty he oyercame largely through
the building of roads through the tall
grass along which the children, his
pupils, pass with comparative safety.
Crawford needs rIore schools and in
his address this week asked for $500
with which to erect a school to be
known as the Rock Island school. For
this amount of money school that
would cost $4,000 in this country can
be built there and equipped for the
needs of those people.
Ladies in Charge of Funds.
\ committee composed of Mrs. Will
liam Mclean Stewart, chairman; Miss
Katherine Gest, Mrs. +. d. Sweeney,
Mrs. J. l.. Vance. Mrs. T. L. Newland.
Mrs. Fred n. From, Mrs. r. G. Sum
mers, Mrs. c. ID. McLane and Mrs.
Alexander Quist met at the Y. NJ. c. A.
yesterday and discussed means of
raising the $500 necessary TO build
school in Africa. 1t was agreed to sell
shares in the school TO be erected, at
81. So and SO each and any one desir-
ing TO buy one or more of these shares
can do so by applying to any of the
ladies on the committee. Personal
of funds will also be made
and it is hoped there will be little
difficulty in raising the necessary

ments appear to have been made by
the local township authorities for the
additional facilities which the voting
of women for the first time at an cleo.

charge of the matter. Supervisor Will

People, particularly the women, are

general lack of information, but so
far as l can see neither myself nor
the other members of the town board
can do anything till the clerk acts. We
have written him a number of times
but have not yet found out what is
proposed doing" The other members
of the board are the five justices of
the peace.
First Registration March IL.
The registration days are March IL
and 81. On the first day the custom
has been for the judges and clerks to
meet at the polling places and COM
pare the new poll books with the old
ones. II has not been the practice to
record new names. Actual registra-
ton has always taken place on the
second date. Many feel, however, that
this year, with a great number of new
voters qualified under the suffrage law
and all unfamiliar with the procedure
IN registering and voting the election
boards should accept new names on
the first as well as on the second regis
tration day and should be in their
places during ordinary business hours
on both days to answer questions as
well as to enroll the voters. This will
be done in a number of other cities. II
all The work is left for the second day
many who desire to vote undoubtedly
will not be able to properly register
and that means that they will be pro-
hibited from taking part in the cleo
tion.
Keep Records Separate.
Those who have given the matter
thought are agreed that facilities
should be provided for keeping sepa-
rate records of the names and votes
of women and men, with separate poll
books and ballot boxes. Then if the
state supreme court should in its deci-
sion expected during the spring de-
eide the suffrage law is unconstitu-
tional it would be possible to make
new returns based upon the male vote
and a new election probably could be
avoided.
Complaint has been made in some
cases in regard to the polling places
used in the past, the contention being
raised that women would object to |
going there to do their voting This |
is another point that the town clerk or
whoever is to act for him should take |
into consideration.
