costumes whose designers have been inspired by trips to Paris. Very high prices are paid these designers and usually styles are much moro exclu- sve than the individual woman could secure from any but very expensive dressmaker; but because the manu- facturer has such a large market, and can make in such quantities, such cos tunes cost really very little more than would be paid out for a home made model, when time, material and a dressmakers wage are considered.
 Typical of the satisfactory little frock that may be picked up ready made is the pictured model of navy blue taffeta silk with a gracefully crossed sash. This frock is in the very latest fashion and it's lines are perfection. The ripple skirt fits trimly over the hips and the wide. crossed sash helps to hold the skirt in even trimmer lines. The bodice has long sleeves, made longer by bell cuffs over the hand. There Is 0 good looking roIl-over collar at the neck, the front of the bodice being cut straight across. A square jabot of lace, matching the lace facing In the collar, falls from the square-cut neck opening and through the lace jabot one catches the gleam of gold and green metallic rib- bon which forms a natty tie. This frock might be duplicated in the home sewing-room but it Is safe to say that there would be some lack of the smartness and dash evident in this ready-made model.
 It is a wise woman who buys a little frock like this to start the season, re- placing it with another as soon as the style becomes wearisome, or the frock bit shabby It is a mistake to in vest in too many ready-made costumes at a time. Styles change rapidly. be- cause so many of these garments are turned out that single design, if pop ular, is soon overdone. A frock just launched may be fetchingly smart and desirable; but after a month or two, when several of ones friends have appeared in the same model. some thing new becomes imperative.
 Tailored-Wear Bought At Mid Season.
 Though 1t is best to buy ones chic little frock at the seasons very com mencement, in order to be ready for any social occasion that may come up:
 
 tailored suit. Such a costume must be worn longer, and oftener than the frock and one wants to be very sure it's style will endure. After few weeks of the season have gone by, it is easier to determine which of the new modes will prevail through the winter and by that time, also, some of the smartest models may have been reduced considerably in price. to make room for new stocks Mid-season is really the best time to buy tailored wear---after regular stocks have been depleted and exclusive models upon which recorders have not been given are offered at half the price they commanded at the seasons beginning. And usually, very smart, we'll made tailleur, purchased at mid sea- son, will last satisfactorily over the first part of the next year--until the mid-season reductions in price occut again.

 Still another folding travel hat Is illustrated; black velvet model with a crown of shrimp pink faille silk which crushes together between the sides of the brim. These sides are of velvet over very stiff crinoline and on the head the toque has an elon- gated line. with a peak at front and back. A third folding toque of dark green velvet slopes gradually upward from front to back, the high points of the brim at the back being held to- gether under fiat ornaments of black braid in leaf form, with little berries of orange velvet mounted on chenille wound wire stems.
 Folding slippers are so convenient and such comfort after days sightseeing, that they should never be omitted from the suitcase. The soft kid slippers without heels fold into an envelope case of leather which closes under a snap-button and the whole outfit takes up no more room than a picture postcard. The slippers come in red, tan or black leather with envelope to match.
 Folding umbrellas are another mod ern convenience for the traveller and save the annoyance and trouble of carrying an umbrella by hand or un- der ones arm, when one is already burdened with bag, top-coat, pocket book, and very likely golf bag or tennis racket. Before long, perhaps. energy and enterprise will supply fold ing golf sticks and tennis rackets, who knows? But ono thing must be re- membered, in connection with the folding umbrella and that is, not to let the hinge which folds 1t become rusty. After coming in from the rain. see that the folding part of the um- brella is carefully wiped dry.
 Everybody knows the folding-cup which collapses into tiny metal or leather case, but not so many folks are familiar with the folding stove-an in- valuable convenience when travelling. Hot water may be obtained in five minutes, and hot water is sometimes hard to get in the middle of the night when the hotel water faucet runs cold and the kitchen Is closed up. The stove has a covered saucepan which holds about a pint of liquid. Inside this saucepan the whole paraphernalia and heating apparatus pack compact ly away and even the saucepan handle folds around the saucepan in friendly fashion.
 In league for comfort with the col lapsible belongings, are the modern trunks and suitcases in which an un- told number of things may be packed. There are special weekend boxes pro- vided with trays and separate com- partments for frocks, boots, neckwear trifles and lingerie. Some of these boxes are very smart and gay affairs. of striped, vanished leather, with bright brass trimmings and Things of luxurious shirred silk.

F the modern woman fndS the
 replenishing of her wardrobe an
 easy and delightful task, these - days, there is one person who naturally deplores the great advance made in manufactured garments which may be sold at low prices; and that is the dressmaker- blythe day. Her honorable career is almost over and well may she fear disaster and penury for her old age, now that most of her time customers prefer to shop for their frocks, negligees and even for the raiment of their children.
 Not only is it the simplest thing in the world to provide a whole seasons wardrobe in a morning or two in the big shops: but one may also pick up charming negligees, fascinating blouses, partly made robes which the home dressmaker may turn into even ing gowns, and bits of neckwear to eke out blouses and bodices. Under garments of fine quality are sold at such reasonable prices, too, that the making of nightgowns and petticoats at home is really a waste of time, and the modern woman is far too busy to give the time.

 For many years the slender woman has been the fortunate one who could buy all her frocks and tailleurs ready made, while her stout sister had to worry along with the home dress maker, or pay substantial prices to modists and custom tailor. Now, the stout woman, also, is taken care of by the kindly manufacturers of ready to-wear garb. and not only are tailored suits and pretty frocks designed to suit her proportions, but she may ob- tain also, "extra size" petticoats, night gowns and even chemises.

tiful custom and the little white bios
som worn yesterday by so many seems,
in its purity and fragrance, to iaold
tie very essence of the sentiment.
At Central Methodist church, in
the evening, the services were made
appropriate by the singing of old ia

by so many mother voices, and a most
tender and beautiful picture drawn by
tie pastor, Rev. Mr. Dibble, on all that
was meant by the sacred name of
mother" He based his discourse
upon the loving thougatfulness of our
Lord, when from the cross He strove
to comfort His own sorrowing mother,
and His beloved disciple" by the gift
Of each to the other as Mother and
Son. For this tender consideration
for the mother still spared to their

were touched by the stirring sweet
memories of those who, having passed
from our sight still influence our lives.

NEGRO EXPOSITION IN JULY
TO BE HELD IN RICHMOND
The Great Exposition and Celebration
in Behalf Of the Negro Of
This Country.

There will be held in the city OF
Richmond, Va, from July 5 to p a
mammoth exposition and celebration
in commemoration of tie fftieth an
niversary of the emancipation of the
negro, under the auspices of the Ne
gro Historical and Industrial associ-
alton.
For this purpose, the United States
government, by an act of congress,
has appropriated ffty-fve thousand
dollars. While t1is amount was a small
item, it carried with it the national
endorsement to hold this exposition.
AS a further evidence of this fact
President Wilson and his cabinet will
visit the exposition ether on the open
ing or some other day,
Large exhibits will be sent to Rich
mond from nearly every industrial
school in the country. The colored
people, as until are preparing a col
lection of specimens of our progress
in fifty years. The nation expects to
see at this exposition tie best eVi-
dences of thrift and progress of the
negro, and should this event fall short
of the expectations of the government
and other spectators, it would do more
to retard tie race than could be over
come in a generation The white peo-
ple are much interested in the success
of this exposition and are working to
make the exposition an event for
which the nation will be proud, Tens
of Thousands of them will visit the
exposition to commend or condemn the
strides of the negro in tne last fifty
years.
The philanthropists, who in the past
have contributed t2eir millions, will
be there, and should the negro make
poor showing, it would, in many in
stances, discourage those who are con-
tributing to the uplift of the race. 1t
is .oped, therefore, that every mem
Der of the race will do something to-
ward making this the desired success.
They should take personal interest in
this exposition, not only in sending
splendid exhibits of every kind worthy
of demonstration, including agricul-
ture. but t.ey should visit the exposi-
ton by the tens of thousands. They
should come from every section of
the country. This is not for any in
dividual or body of individuals, but
for the benefit of the entire race. 1t
is a race institution. 1t must be a
success; for failure will retard the
race.
Rais exposition will be held in a
beautiful park of more than 100 acres
of land enclosed, with large number
of buildings and a pavilion with ca
pacity to accommodate $4,000 people,
and splendid race track. The grounds
will have all of the modern improve
ments, and is one of the best exposi-
ton sites in the country. 1t is right
in the city. One cents street car
fare will be sufficient to reach the
grounds from any section of the city.
