One of the fads of the hour, which
is particularly strong with debu-
tantes and other youthful devotees of
fashion, is the Cleopatra headband.
This is a very simple hair ornament
to be called after the wonderful queen
whose name is associated in u
minds with all things splendid and i'm
perial. 1t is made of sparkling
rhinestones and binds the brow after
the manne of Egyptian and other
h~eaddresses. And it is entirely sue
cessful.
Two patterns of this new hair orna-
ment are shown in the picture. They
are among the prettiest of many de-
signs, all made in about the same
way. There is some variation in the
size of the r~hinestones; the smaller
ones, used in the more elaborate fig.
ures usually, represent more work in
making the band, and are therefore
more expensive. All the bands of
brilliants are mounted on narrow vel
vet ribbon and fasten with a snap
fastener or hook and thread eye, at
the back.
The Cleopatra band looks well with
nearly all the new coiffures, which is
one good reason for its popularity. 1t
is shown here worn with the Bobby"
cciffure. This particular style seems
to have impressed itself on women

NOT SUNDAY SCHOOL TEXT
%Johnny's Badge, With Its Inscription,
Gave Pastor Something in the
Nature of a Shock.

Little Jack was Unfortunately proud
of the big, round badge which his
father had brought home from the Au-
tomobile show. 1t had a picture of a
famous automobile on one side, and a
motto in large golden letters on the
other. He wore it to Sunday school.
The pastor walked down among the
Scholars" smiling upon each bright
faced little boy and girl, after the
time-honored fashion of pastors on
such errand bent. The badge on the
little boys coat caught his eye.
"Ah, m son, what have you there?"
That's my golden text" answered
Jack eagerly, beaming like a chessy'
cat.
Your golden text? That's very nice,
indeed. And what does it say?"
Little Jack held it up for inspection.
The pastors fatherly smile did not
disappear, but you might say it stiff
fened as he read Jacks golden text:
Amt it He'll to be POOR"

"A boy to be proud Oft" boasted Mr..
Godfrey Burridge. HE graduates

has been rather harsh and cherries
for a warm-hearted, lovable fellow
like Chester to know nothing Of the
joys of a real home, but my system
has carried him through all the trials
and tests incidental to a live, up-to-
date young fellow, and l congratulate
myself. Yes, sir-I feel a glowing con-
seriousness of having done a great
work."
Hayden Storm, college subtutor,
bowed in apparent acquiescence with
the Wanting mood of his companion.
The while he smiled to himself. Mr..
Burridge was in a g~arrulous mood and
Storm let him run on at will.

Again, covertly, almost satirically,
Hayden Storm smiled. Then, the Sc,

adieu to his companion as the latter
strolled away.

Our work in the South is absorbing
and interesting because of what has
been done and because of what re-
mains to be done. In New York
state, for example, each child in the
public school has spent on his educa-
ton about $26. In Alabama each
Negro child has spent on his educa-
ton from the public school fund $1.49.
In New Jersey each child has spent
upon it from the public school fund
$31. Each Negro child in Georgia has
spent upon him for his education from
the public school fund $1.42. In I'LL
nois each child in the public schools
has spent upon him from the public
school fund $23. In South Carolina
each Negro child has spent upon him
for his education from the public
school fund $1.09.
In a state like New York from seven
to nine years are required to com
plete a public school course of nine
months in the year. Under present
conditions, it will require IA years
for a Negro child to complete a pub
lie school course of nine months in the
year in Virginia. In Florida 20 years
would be required; in Alabama "a

Turk Always a FataIist.

Religion is the one and only topic
the Turk cares to discuss. 1t controls
his every act. Nothing affects his be-
lief. No reasoning a prevail against
his faith. The Turk, especially the
uncivilized Turk, is very religious and
fanatical. Fanatical, be it understood,
if you ridicule his religion. He prac-
tees that scrupulously-hve times a
day, a pilgrimage to Mecca at least
once in his life, If possible-such are
the precepts of his religion which he
never forgets. After all, the Turk is
a fatalist and is fated to remain so
He appears quite contented with his
fate. AS the Koran says. Each ma
ton has its turn. When the appointed
time comes men can neither retard il
nor hasten it,"

would astound that stubborn-headed
old mule to know the real merits of
the easel"
The loyal-hearted subtutor proceed
ed to the room of Chester Burridge an
hour later. When Mr.. Burridge had
incidentally remarked hat Storm had
been close and kind to his son, he only
touched the surface of vast underlying
facts. More than that had Storm been
guide, counsellor, true, true friend.
Never was a conceited self-opinion-
ated man more at sea than Mr.. Bur
ridge. 1t was true he had received
good reports only of his son. But,
mercifully screened from his knowl-
edge had been the thousand and one
missteps, errors and escapades that
fall to the lot of any inexperienced
young man.
Chester had sown wild oats" but
only in patches. Always at his side,
kind, brotherly, extenuating, there had
been Storm. Older than his protege,
generally strict and solemn, he had
won the confidence, the regard, the
love Of the impetuous lad.
Tomorrow we part, Storm" spoke
Chester, with genuine sadness, as they

more forcibly and more favUrably than
any other recently launched. Some
persons have gone so far is to have
their hair bobbed at each side, in or
der to adopt the new style, but hair
dressers manage to achieve the right
effect without resorting to so extreme
a measure. If the hair is not too long
it can be rolled and turned under at
the sides. 1t is coiled at the back,
rather fat to the head.
Do not imagine that the Cleopatra
band is confined to the use of youth
full maids. 1t looks unusually well

which the middle part in the hair is
used, and lends it's brilliance to many

sured of the smart appearance of such
a toilette for the promenade.
But an equally pleasing picture pre-
sents itself if one imagines the coat
worn for travelling. The hat might
be a Panama or small outing shape,
the shoes have tops of ~tan-colored
cloth, and the dress be a plain suspen-
der model worn with pongee shirt
waist. The coat would fit in and COM
plete a perfect outfit for the journey.
These coats are all cut on faring
lines, but they vary somewhat in
length. Pockets and buttons are fea-
tured in their finishing. There is a
great variety of styles in collars, and
in the covert models buttons, collars
and cuffs are usually all of the cloth.

ana &c years would be required, and
in South Carolina 81 years would be

sight into the work that yet remains.
In Mississippi, for example, only so
per cent of the Negro children arc en-
rolled in the public schools; in Geor-
gia, Alabama and South. Carolina only
a little over 40 per cent of the Negro
children are enrolled. In many OF
the counties of the South from ten to
fifteen times more money is spent on
the education of the white child in the
public schools than is spent on the
education of the Negro child. These
conditions must be changed in the in

Al view OTleduS a suOTL time ago
the most notable gathering of Ne
groes in this country was held-the
Bishops Council of the African Meth
odist Episcopal church. These bish-
ops came from Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Chicago, Wilberforce, Ohio, Atlanta,
Little Rock, Detroit, Columbia, S. c.,
and Nashville, and represent more than
six thousand churches scattered owe
this country and in foreign lands.
Perhaps no organization of Negroes
has a more interesting history than
the African Methodist Episcopal
church. February IA, the one hundred
and fifty-fifth anniversary of the birth
of its founder, Richard Allen, who
was born a slave in Philadelphia, Pa,
February IA, 1860, when slavery flour
ished in the North as well as the
South. He was, however, an extra
ordinary man, even as a slave. He
caused the conversion of his own mas
ter, who proposed to let him buy his
freedom. He saved by working at odd
times, and about 1880, purchased his
freedom and that of his brother for
$4,000.
He then went out as a preacher. In
1884 he was present as a spectator
at the first Methodist general confer
ence at Baltimore, Md. In 1856 he To-
Gated in Philadelphia after preaching
in New Jersey, Delaware and Mary
land. About this time the number of
Negroes, or as they were called then
Africans" belonging to st. Georges
Methodist church was very great-in-
deed, SO great hat the trustees
thought it best to confine them to a
certain portion of the church. Many
of them, however, preferred to have
their own church, so that in 1887. they
withdrew from st. Georges church
and started an African" Methodist
church. In 1894, they purchased an
old blacksmith shop and moved it up
on a lot which they had purchased,
n began worship there, under their
own vine and fig tree" in what they
chose to call Bethel African Methodist
church. This property cost less thar
$ $1,000. 1t is still owned by the church
ohh 40 NOudg hlOAC VIGIL p1OOf-
900, and is the Oldest piece of property
owned by a large Negro organization.
Allen vas a great leader and soon
had a Furnishing church. Meanwhile
in New York, New Jersey and Mary
land, other independent Negro churches
were established. He conceived the
idea of getting these together into one
compact genera al organization After
visiting them he extended an invita-,
ton to meet in Philadelphia in April
1916, to form a Christian denomina.
tional body under the name of the
African Methodist Episcopal church
This was done, and Richard Allen was
elected and ordained the first bishop
of this church, and the first Negro
bishop in America.
