PARENTS, DO NOT LET YOUR GIRLS WEAR THEM
WHAT NEW FASHION is COMING NEXT?

We are afflicted every season with
a fad or two. This season, we are to
have more Of the indecent than of the
decent kind. We are to have the kind
of shows that men of class, used to
go to low-class vaudeville to see. The
fancy shoes (price, style and color)
are to be worn with dresses, any
where between shoe top and knee.
Styles of this kind appeal to sporty"
old women who need only the slight
est pretext for exposing their person
and to fast young women and misses
who have in their mind that men are
attracted by exhibitions of this kind.
OF course, men of a certain type are
attracted, just as women of a certain
type will expose themselves by over
doing the short dress act. Decent
sensible, men will not be attracted; (;
nor will decent, sensible women lift
their dresses to such a height as to
expose their legs while sitting or
walking.

wear her dresses at such a length as
to expose herself to the gaze of in
decent men. We write also to beg
poor mothers who try to dress their
daughters in the height of fashion, not
to waste their money buying fancy
shoes. Black shoes for Winter.
Spring, and Fall, and white shoes for

correct thing for fashionable people

.ENJOINS LAW FOR
NEGRO SEGREGATION
Federal Court in ST. Louis
Rules Temporarily Against
New Ordinance.
READ HIS DECISION.

st. Louis, April 1.-THE enforce
ment of the Negro segregation ordi
mace of st. Louis was enjoined by the
federal district court here today.
The injunction was granted by Dis.
trict Judge Dyer, who said he made
the order temporary only because the
federal supreme court now is consider.
ing a segregation case from Louisville,
KY. Otherwise, he said, he would have
granted a permanent injunction.
One segregation ordinance prohibits
whites or blacks frou living in block
in which rs per cent of the houses are
occupied by persons of the opposite
race. The ordinance makes similar re.
strictions, but the proceedings is 100
instead of 75.
In announcing his decision Judge
Dyer said:
There is practically but one ques.
tion before the court-the fact of the
validity of these ordinances.

their bodies slightly. and their voices
rise in chant of praise.

"Amen!" says an old man, whose
wolly hair is turning gray and who

Praise God!" exclaims woman's
high voice, and her face lights up with
the glory of religion.
The organ drops from the rich, wor'
shipful music to an epilogue of the
organist's invention, and the congre-
CATION sits back to hear the gospel
preached with fire that reaches the
sinners heart.
And Mr.. Rockefeller sits with them.
The preacher, Charles Walker, who
has been half-hidden behind the tall
stand on which is the big Bible, gets
up and locks around at his congrega-
ton. He is a very black. plain look,
ing Negro, just like any other Georgia
Negro; and he speaks with the rich
ness and the feeling that is inherit in
his race.
John d. Rockefeller's example has
set a fashion among the rich tourists
wintering in Augusta. At times the
Negro preacher, an eX-slave, has a
dozen millionaires among his hearers.
But he doesn't seem to know they are
there. He breaches just the same
delivers the same message of the good
ness of God.
Now that Booker T. Washington is
dead, Walker is the most remarkable
Negro in the South. He was born in
1858 as the property of DR.. w. A.
Clark, who lived in Augusta. The war
came on and the emancipation oi
slaves followed. He was just picka'
ninny then, and he doesn't remember
anything about those times. But he
recalls vividly his struggles for an
education; and how, at last, he found
a place at the Atlanta Baptist college
TIE was trained there for preacher
an began even as a young man to be
known for his eloquence.
Twice he went to Europe. both times
to attend the Worlds Baptist Alliance
and in London met Dr. Spurgeon, who
called him the preacher from the
soil"
In New York he came to know John
