white effects for midsummer and fall
Already we are seeing, here and there
in these new, normal waistline dresses
smart blackrand-white effects. One silk
manufacturer is showing a great va
riety of Grecian designs in black and
white, and black and gold. So unusual
and original are the patterns, that
they have taken the trouble to have
each copyrighted, lest manufacturers
Of inferior materials duplicate the de-
signs. If this house successfully launch
es these silks on the market, and from
their record in past seasons they un-
doubtedly will, women will soon be
wearing frocks with silhouetted Dicky
birds and checker-boards the conspic-
uous theme of the material.
This dyeing and manufacturing ques
tion, however, is chapter by itself,
After all, what does it matter whether
the dresses with their neW-found waist
lines are white, black or colored, SO
long as the result is what the French
term Chick? This very thing is
brought out in the tub frocks of the
season where all shades of green, blue,
and tan are used.
At long Beach this week, there were
any number Of smart pongee, linen
artificial silk and cotton ratine costu-
mes worn. One white linen, in particu-
lar, showed distinctively new treat
ment Of the waistline; two pleats in
the front Of the bodice, formed a panel
under which the straight belt of the
material fastened. The skirt was laid
in inverted box-pleats; the sleeves
were finished with circular cuffs, and
the neck with long shawl collar Of
the linen over which the girl wore a
Quaker collar of sheer organdy, fast
ened in the front with black velvet.

One of the New Normal Waistline
Frocks Made in the Popular Blue
Taffeta

To-day, smart frocks have trim
waists, decidedly marked. Whether you
are summering at Hopatcong, escaping
the heat at the beach resort or passing
the early season in town,s it is impos-
sible to be oblivious to this one fea-
ture, at least, of the mode. Again and
again, fashion repeats herself in the
ever prevalent blue taffeta dress,
/ Wherever the New Yorker goes, you
see it. If any one thinks she can
dodge the clothes issue by packing up
and hiking off to the country, the
mountains or the shore, she is sadly
but surely mistaken. In the Adirond-
acks you will find all the style of the
Avenue. There are the girls with
their summer furs, wide sailor hats
and Japanese parasols, transplanted
whole from New York, without the
veneer of style spoiled Or blemished.
At one hotel, three hours by bus
from the station, a girl from the me-
tropolis wore taffeta frock that liter
ally followed letter for letter the Vic
torian mode. 1t was made of the
perpetual blue taffeta with waist nor
nal, and skirt sectional, formed of
seven tiers, each successive tier fuller
than the one before, gathered at the
top and corded to the section above;
the bodice was plain save for an in
verted V-shape vest of organdy, and
a soft organdy collar this was prod
uct of New York Dressmaker, per-
feet so far as style was concerned.
So incessant is the demand for blue
tafftea for these dresses. that the
stores have difficulty in keeping it in
stock. The craze is apparent in every
department. Hats are of the French
sailor type; on these the brim is slight.
| ly wider at one side than on the other
and they are worn a trife tilted. Oh
blue straw, blue taffeta, or blue French
crepe, they are trimmed with wings, 9
single bead ornament, or gauze flow
ers, wired in shape. Pumps are worr
in navy blue leather, smartly piped il
| white, and even dark blue gloves II
| gauntlet style have been introduced
But these are not as popular as the
white silk gloves, finished with Queer
Elizabeth frills, and worn on the out
side of the dress; for even blue, to bC
really chic, must have a dash o1
white for contrast.
i The fancy for the popular blue will
be restricted, however by the shortage
of dye material in this country. Ont
manufacturer made the statement
that we may be thankful to get an!
color at all if the war continues; anC
j this, no doubt, accounts for the max
ers of silks trying to force black-and
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1915-06-18

For the first time in three long
years, waistlines return to their nor
mai illssi place place. A llcgicsl review of the
past few monthsdiscloses two distinct
reasons for this change in fashion;
first, the full skirt, and second, the
corset. 1t is not surprising that the
waistline capered about when corsets
were trico and the silhouette straight
up and down; but now that skirts are
voluminous and corsets real stays,
nipped in at the sides, the joining of
the waist and skirt naturally comes at
the smallest part Of the form, namely.
the waistline, as nature placed it.
It has taken many months to bring
about the evolution, and even yet there
are those who loath to give up their
stay-belts and back to nature corsets.
When Joseph, in the early season ex-
hibited silk frocks with normal waist
lines, many admired this colyturiere's
courage; but few recognized the step
as a style prediction so soon to be
realized.

Peter Morgan, One Of The last
Surviving Confederate Body
Servants in Christian
County. q

Among the few remaining body
servants of Confederate soldiers still
living in Christian county, the best
known is Peter Morgan, sexton of
Cave Spring colored cemetery.
He went through the entire war
with Captain A. F. Morgan, who took
part in all the fierce conflicts of the
Virginia campaigns. Peter was with
him at Manassas, Bull Run, Peters
burg, and was in the advance to
Frederick City, Md, within thirteen
miles of the Capital. He was at Get
tysburg and when Capt. Morgan,
who took part in the magnificent
charge OF Pickett's Division, was
shot down, his faithful body servant
sought him out and carried him off
the battlefield in his arms.
Capt. Morgan survived the war
and lived to a good old age and died
of apoplexy at his home at Belfonte,
Va, in 1908.
Capt. Morgan was related to Gen.
Robt. E. Lee and was attached to his
personal staff a part of the time.
Peter was the cook for mess of
four, Capt. Morgan and other Off
GERS, and was about the camp of Gen.
Lee a great deal of the time.
In 1867. armed with personal let
ter of recommendation from Gen.
Lee, Peter Morgan came to Ken
lucky with Rev. Marcellus Crenshaw,
who secured work for him as a rail-
road hand, until Peter had paid debts
incident to his coming. In the spring
of the same year he came to Hop
kinsville and going to the Western
Kentucky Lunatic Asylum, as it was
then called, showed his letter of re-
commentator to DR.. James Rod
man and asked for a job. DIR. Rod
man looked him over and said: ANY
body with a letter like that from
Gen. Lee can get work from me-"
He put him to work and he stayed
there Sc years. He was coachman
for z years, attendant on ward for
Is years, yard boss for IL years, and
=
the rest of the time filled positions of
trust and responsibility.
After leaving the asylum he was
janitor at the Virginia Street schools

ures of the colored race. He possess
es fair education and a great deal
of native intelligence.
In his dealings he is straightfor-
ward. trust worthy and honorable.
He is respected by all as one of the
very best men of his race. He is a
member of the Methodist church and
has always been independent in poll
tics. with a strong leaning to the
Democratic party. He has always

schools for 50 years.
When the new colored cemetery
was opened by the city and present.
ed to the colored people in the fall of
1912, Peter was appointed sexton
and has held the position ever since.
