Duties Of Maid Of Honor.

The duties of the maid or matron Of
honor consists in taking and holding
the brides bouquet when the ring is
being put on her finger and while the
prayers are said, and IL the bride
wears her veil down over her face, the
honor-attendant must raise it for her
at the given time. She stands at the
real of the bride, where she can take
the bouquet and hand 1t back with
ease.
The best mans duties consist prin-
cipally in keeping the wedding ring
until the moment when the minister
asks for it, when the best man hands
it to the bridegroom, who in turn
hands it to the minister. It is his duty,
also, to make all arrangements for
the wedding journey, after consulting
with the bridegroom, buying the rail
road tickets, engaging rooms at a
hotel, etc.
These r the principal points of
the ceremony etiquette and are fol-
lowed alike by the wealthy and those
who are but comfortably well off. The
question of expenses remains the same,
even when the girl is poor, although
she may dispense with attendants and
reception.

There Is nothing more crisp and

painted in bright shining colors.

suits or dresses of tub fabrics, as a
~buttonhole so finished gives much bet

than when worked with thread.
In making the coat of any linen suit
it should have a lining extending he

also to prevent any pulling where
the sleeve fastens in.
The suit illustrated has n circular

six inches at the sides. A left side
fastening is used, with invisible snap
hooks securing the garment.

Robert r. Motion, the new principal
of Tuskegee institute, will carry on
Booker 7. Washington's great work In
uplifting the Negro race, DIR. II. Il.
Frissell, principal of Hampton insti-
tute and member Of the General Edu-
cation board, told the National Educa-
ton association convention at New
York.
Booker Washington's life was a dis
tinct victory for the Negro race and
for the ideas for which Hampton
stands" said Doctor Frissell.
Washington carried from Hampton
to Alabama a strong belief in the
moral value of regular habits Of indus
try. At the Tuskegee school Hampton
Ideas were reproduced. Throughout
Washlngton's life he laid emphasis
upon duties rather than upon rights.
While he was sensitive to the injus-
tees which his race suffers, he felt
that the best preventive of injustice
Is Improvement In physical, mental
and moral conditions. Because of his
real love for men, both white and
black, and because he was able to
render great and valuable service to
both races. Doctor Washington exer-
cised an influence second, perhaps, to
that of 10 other mar in this country.
Robert r. Motion, the new principal
of Tuskegee, who was commandant at
Hampton for many years, like Doctor
Washington, spent part of his boyhood
In IN excellent Virginia home, where
he learned to love white people and
believe in their kindly disposition
toward the blacks. This love and faith
he has never lost. Booker I. Wash
ington had certain noteworthy charac-
teristics, possessed also by Robert Mo-
ton, In the production of which Hamp-
ton may at least claim a share-faith,
love, modesty and service.
washington and Motion, carrying
out Hampton's idea of education for
service, believed in the educational
value of daily activities. Both preached
the doctrine of training the hands, the
head and the heart.

Velvet ribbon, which has not been

its own again. One of the newest mod
els is IN afternoon frOck of taffeta
trimmed with vertical bands of mar
row velvet rlbon, placed both, on bod
ice and skirt in graduated lengths.
The skirt was very full and hung in
four deep points, the velvet ribbon be-
ing ~zigzagged accordingly. The waist,
which was cut surplice effect and
formed a pointed bodice in front, was
trimmed with strips of the velvet rib.
bon in such a way as to give the effect
of a doublepointed girdle. A gradu-
ated ,fiounce carried out the popular
cape effect. The frock was a soft gray
ish beige In color, the velvet ribbon
a delicate pastel blue.

All the fragmentary accounts so far
received of the bloody fight between
Mexican troops and American cavalry
men at Carrizal agree that the colored
soldiers who were attacked by much
larger numbers made a gallant defense.
They inflicted heavy losses upon a far
more powerful force, the Mexican gen.
eral in command being n of the slain.
The little band of troopers fought I'M
til they had suffered very heavy losses,
in proportion to their number, and they
did their full duty in a position which
made success hopeless. This is not the
first nor the tenth time that colored
soldiers in the service of the United
States have shown themselves hard
fighters and brave men,. In many ac-
tons, under widely different cOndi-
lions, they have been tested and found
equal to every reasonable demand. II
ever war should come 1t will be safe TO
predict that the colored troops of the
United States army will make good
records and that they will abundantly
wipe out the score they have to settle
for the treacherous butchery Of their
comrades of the Tenth cavalry.
