PARASOLS GAY WITH FEATHERS

that green Is a restful color for the
eyes especially that one often finds
the pongee parasol lined with a duh
green silk. After the green lining
red is the most favored for the soft

have wooden handles of natural
wood OF almost the same color as the
silk AND there Is usually bit OF
carving on them. Most OF these come
from Japan and China.

coming into great favor. These coats
are indeed attractive enough to war

rather short, as they reach only to the
hips. At present the preferred way
OF using them Is with white woollen
skirts--serge. broadcloth or finest

to the aid of the fad. Occasionally
one finds one of these velvet coats

French broadcloth heavily embroidered
in black along the bottom. This en-

but there are so many occasions when
wrap with real warmth is needed
that It will doubtless become very
popular. All of these newer coats
have long tight sleeves and for the
most part are without belts or sashes.

FUNERAL SERVICES
 OF DR. SHAW COME
 ID SOLEMN CLOSE
Distinguished Service Medal Is Pinned on Breast of Lifelong Worker in
 Suffrage Cause
Rv Assocjafed Press

Media, Pa, July 5.-With the pinning on her breast of the distinguished serv- ice medal conferred by the government for her war work and the jeweled Amer ican flag worn by Susan B. Anthony, fu- neral services of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of the Amer ican Woman's suffrage association, were brought to a solemn close at her late home in Moylan, Pa, late today.
 Leaders of women from all parts of the country gathered about her rose-cov- cred coffin to pay their last respects in a ceremony the outstanding feature of which was it's simplicity.
 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the suffrage association, fastened the suffrage pin upon the dress of Dr. Shaw as a symbol of the highest honor the women of the world had to offer. The pin is an American flag with a diamond star for each state which voted for suf- frage before the national suffrage amendment passed Congress.
 The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Dr. Caroline Bartlett Crane of Kalamazoo. Mich, and Mrs Catt in a brief address eulogized Dr. Shaw for her efforts in behalf of women and laid at her feet the honor for the passage of the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
 The home was a profuson of flowers. Nearly every state sent a floral tribute, as did President and Mrs. Wilson, the council of national defense, and many inviduals and organizations.
 Telegrams of condolence were received by Dr. Shaw's relatives from hundreds of well known men and women, both at home and abroad.
 A cablegram was received from Presi- dent Wilson, In accordance with Dr. Shaw's wishes, tomorrow her body will be cremated.

Alabamians Urged to Ratity Suffrage Amendment iu Message-WOuld Glad
 den the President

Mrs. John D. McNeel, chairman , the ratification committee of the Stat Woman's Suffrage association. re ceived a telegram from Secretary the Navy Josephus Daniels yesterbA stating that Il of the states had rau' fled the nineteenth amendment and ex- pressing the hope that Alabama would do likewise The Secretary states that ratification would "gladden the heart of the President"
 Secretary Daniels message is as follows:
 Mrs. John D. McNeel, chaiCnan rati.
 fication committee, Birmingham.
 Democratic senators from Texas Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Okla homa and Tennessee were among those who voted on June to submit the nineteenth amendment to the state. for ratification. That amendment hal already been ratified by Il states and special sessions of the general assem- bly, have been called in others to consider it. Every state that has held a session of the legislature since il was submitted has ratified by over. whelming majorities.
 Democrats and republicans have united in hastening to give this de. layed right to women in order thai they may participate in the next presi. dential election. Great Britain ana Germany have now asked women td become equal partners in government housekeeping. Why should the United States hesitate?
 The day for debate as to the ca. pacity of women to wisely exercise he right of suffrage has passed. Al east we democrats cannot deny thai she knew what she was about when it was largely due to the vote of tho women in the western states that made the reelection of President Wilson That was a party vicfNys but it was much more than that without his vision and his faith can we dare be- leve this blessing to the world would have been achieved?
 "The argument for woman suffrage is alike to the people of Alabama and Massachusetts. It makes no change iH state laws of the qualifications to vote that do not already exist. Each sec. ton has its problems which it must solve. With suffrage to women tho same requirements now affecting male voters will apply to female voters The south has nothing to fear from the amendme ent but it would be loss to southern chivalry and southern prestige if our section of the country halted this great reform.
 Earnestly hope the people of Ala. bama will take the lead of southern states east of the Mississippi and fol. low the wise leadership of Texas and Missouri and other progressive com monw ealths. There is no doubt of thu ratification. Let Alabama lead and mol follow. It has blasted the way in other days in noble achievement and if known far and near for it's chivalry It's ratification would be hailed with satisfaction by the whole country and would gladden. the heart of the Presi. dent as he returns with the covenant of nations JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
