 Lace is used in broken front lines to form vests or collars. The latter fin ish is an important asset to the dress es this spring. and noticeab1y modish features of the smarter silk dresses are the cape collar and cape effects so much in vogue. The cape collar is cut high in front and finishes at the back with a yoke cape which hangs well down between the shoulders. Con- trasting materials and colors are often used for these capes and cape collars and make an attractive feature for the silk gown. One in brown taffeta had a very full skirt laid in p1aits across the front and finishing in a wide puff on hips and at the back. The bodice was of the tight fitting type, opening over lace vest and pink velvet trim ming. A deep collar yoke finished the bodice, 9 haring pink collar relieving the plainness Of the style Buttons and braid edged the front Of the waist.

THE TAILLEUR TAKES A COLOR
 ED HANKY

HHE new costume will not be com
 pIeted without one of the new ,handkerchiefs which this season are more dainty than ever. A good many of the cambric trifes that have come over from Paris are offered in colors that may match the dominant note of the hat. the hosiery. the handbag or the parasol.
 It is considered rather chic to tuck a square of old blue linen or one of rose hue, orchid tone or straw color into the breast pocket of the new tail Ieur, Even when one hesitates to use the colored Handkerchief in general way there is an undeniable charm inn parted to the costume by the pocket inclosure.
 For the sports costume there are col ored handkerchiefs in bright East In dian patterns, They are sort of re- fined edition of the bandanna brought up to the modern aesthetic idea and therefore acceptable in this season. of gay coIors.

THE LORELEI VEIL

ONE cannot but note the prevalence
 of taupe colored veils on well dressed women. There is something very soft and becoming about a bit of taupe colored tissue stretched before the face and the delicate tint that is more aattering to the complexion than black The Lorelei pattern is worthy of it's name, for it is distinctly alIur- ing. Vines in delicate design stray up 6 fine hexagon mesh at either side of the face so that the latter seems peep ing from a fairy bower More conver- tiona1 is a treIlis pattern, and. the lat tice mesh which crossbars the face with definite lines is liked by women who wear tailored hats.

TUSKEGEE'S WORTHY APPEAL.
Principal Motions Effort to Spread
Christmas Cheer Among Children.

Principal Moton's Effort to Spread
Christmas Cheer Among Children.
The following letter Of appeal, issued
from the Tuskegee (Ala) institute by
DR.. Robert R. Motion, principal, is a
worthy one, to which, it Is hoped, many
will respond literally. Dr.. Motion says:
"The late DR.. Booker T. Washington,
founder Of the Tuskegee institute, year
by year appealed to generous friends
for Christmas remembrances of one
kind and another to be distributed
through him to the colored children Of
the south, who without such Christ
mas remembrances would have moth
ing to remind them Of the Christmas
season.
"Floods, the boil weevil and indus
trial conditions generally among the
farming classes have brought about a
rather depressing state Of affairs. Many
people are in actual distress and want,
while in hundreds and thousands Of
homes there will be little to indicate
that Christmas Is time Of JOY and
blessing. Anything whatsoever, no
matter how inexpensive, will brighten
a situation otherwise largely unrelieved
by any cheering ray.
~ shall be glad to serve as did DR..
Washington-that is. to act as the in
termediary through whom the public
may transmit their gifts to these chill
dren and to take pains to see that they
reach those who are worthy, distribut-
ing them over as wide section Of the
south as possible through Tuskegee Off
shoot schools, graduates, former stu
dents, Jeanes fund workers, etc.

with light softer but perhaps
more comfortable than that Of
the great feast itself. Particu-
larly IL this true of the first day after
Christmas, especially when that day is
Sunday. In England, Of course, as In
the time Of the late Samuel Pickwick,
ESQ, who brought about the renais-
sance of Christmas, this is called box
Ing day, not because 1t is the occasion
Of fistic encounters, but because 1t is
the time appointed for the distribution
Of those more or less spontaneous ex-
pressons of good will which are called
Christmas boxes. Its more orthodox
title is st. Stephens day. 1t Is, you
know, the day on which the illustrious
King Wenceslaus. with the assistance
Of his page, did his noble almOning.
We are not old English kings, 80 In
stead Of having our page bring flesh
and wine to the poor man on St
Stephens day we give dollar to the
youth from the still vexed Bermuthes
who chaperons the elevator In our
apartment house. and for weeks be
fore Christmas we affix to the flaps OF
the envelopes containing our letters
little stamps bearing so called por
traits Of st. Nicholas Of Bari. Theo-
retically this last process provides q
modicum Of Christmas cheer for GER
tain carefully selected and organized
poor peoDle.
However this may be, the fact re-
mains that the day after Christmas is
q very good day indeed. The excite
ment Of giving and receiving has pass
cd away; there remains the quieter Joy
Of sober contemplation. And when
the day after Christmas Is Sunday this
contemplation will not be disturbed by
the arrival Of the postman, who, a re
lentless bill bringer. is, like the Greeks,
to be feared even when bearing gifts
And, in spite Of the remarks Of every
humorist who ever borrowed from bis
, mother-in 2 cents to put on an
envelope which should carry joke
! about her to an editor, this post Christ
mas meditation nearly always Is pleas
ant. 1t is assisted by the consumption
Of wife-bestowed cigars, which (again
despite the humorists) are better than
q man buys for himself. 1t Is a pleas
ant meditation, for its subjects are
things given and things received. good
deeds done and good things expert
enced.
It also contains, this day after Christ
mas feeling. a quality Of reconciliation
not Of reconciliation with ancient enc
mies-this was all orthodoxy attended
to on Christmas eve-but of reconcilia
tion with affairs. Of readjustmept.

WILL ADMIT NEGROES.
Federation Of Labor Decides They Are
Worthy of Membership.

Federation Of Labor Decides They Are
Worthy Of Membership.
Negroes are no longer to be shut out.
either directly or indirectly, from the
American trade union movement. In
stead, they are to be welcomed in.
This is the stand taken by the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor in convention
upon the issue raised by the wholesale
migration of southern negroes to the
Industrial centers Of Pennsylvania and
the middle west.
This resolution, presented by the del
egates from the Ohio State Federation
Of Labor and the Cleveland Federation
Of Labor. has been approved:
"Whereas, The emigration Of south
ern Negroes to northern labor centers,
which has lately attracted the atten-
ton of the United States department
Of labor and has occasiOned anxiety on
the part Of the organized labor move
ment because Of the danger such emf
grafton will cause the workers In the
northern states; and,
whereas, The investigation OF such
emigration and importation Of Negroes
into the state Of Ohio has demonstrate
ed to the satisfaction Of the labor lead
ers in that state that they are being
brought north for the purpose Of filling
the places Of union men demanding
better conditions, as in the case Of the
freight handlers; and,
whereas, The shortage Of European
labor has made the southern Negro an
asset in the labor markets Of the north
and the conditions that prevail in Ohio
may apply in all northern states; there
fore, be 1t
Resolved, That this thirty-sixth an
nual convention Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor instruct the president
and executive council to inaugurate a
movement looking toward the Organi-
zation Of these men in the southern
states, to the end that they may be in
structed and educated along the lines
Of the trade union movement and
thereby eliminate this menace to the
workers of the northern states"

ETTELSON AND HEALEY BALLED

"The law is unfair" he cried.

make other statements which were
later corrected by the aldermen.

compelling the chief to enforce the
ordinance.
Ettelson had already filed an APP
