PEACE WILL COME.

There is a great work to be done by
this race of ours, in this land of ours.
and it : got to be done by Negroes
We wrote our name high in dear old
France and left the race escutchcon
spotless on the ramparts of field and
dugout The work we there did for
dear old France we must do for Amer
lea.
We must not feel alarmed over the
merciless inhumanity that is wreaking
in putridity, in happy orgy of its
crime. God Will most surely stop the
lecherous outlawry, and His truth that
must Outlast envy and all sapping time
is to be upheld The noble justice of
Christ is not to be laughed down by
the bowling mob. The day is fast APP
preaching when deeency will creep into
men 5 minds. The might of right will
gain the line of least resistance, and
race selfshness of ugly caste will be
thrown into the discard. Fortunately
the religious world is not entirely given
over to hypocrisy.
People who have had the best Of
training are not given over TO the in
famous eonjcctures that ascribe to the
race the awful maledictions; because
by force it has been rendered helpless
by the social furies that have been
played upon it. The noble concept will
have its day. Truth will be heard.
Our insecurity viii not long remain
as it is, because the stronger forces of
just humanity Will not be diSeredited,
neither dismayed by rough mutter-
ings.
The Negro will rise in his sanctioned
strength and remove the stigma so
long blaekening his name. The dOmi-
nant universal voice Of the people will
be sounded against the sereeehing dis
cord of the ugly crowd, and peace will
rest where ranehor blasted its direful
requiem.
Humanity will not forever remain
stagnaHt.
The black soldier has carried the flag
of justice through the gates of death
and wrapped himself in its folds. He
has done all that has been asked of
him, and to deny him Of the rest, and
the security that his valOr predieates
is not 10 be thought of by sensible
people. Anyhow, whatever is worth
having is worth fighting for, and if to
die is all, it should be a sweet death

NOTED CHAPLAIN OF BLUE DEV.
lis VISITS CHICAGO.

Chicago has been entertaining dis
tinguished visitor in the person of
Canon Cabanel. chaplain of the famous
Blue Devils of France. Canon Cabanel
spent three and one-half years in tn,
trenches with his beloved boys I'm
Ill he was so seriously EaSSed As to
render HIM unfit for front line service.
He wears the decorations of the Legion
of Honor. and the Croix de Guerre with
three palms and four Stars-seven cita-
tions-besides the fouragere Of the
medailhe militaire which is equivalent
to the British Victoria Cross and Is
given only for extreme heroism in
which a whole company has shared so
equally that it is impossible to select
individual members for decoration.
At one time while conducting the
funeral service of a dead pOilu the
boches began to shell the cemetery.
The men present were withdrawn but
Father Cabanel stayed on to finish the
service. a shell exploded, burying him
and he was reported as dead. lie sur
vived, however, but it was not until
later that his Blue Devils learned this,
and in the meantime they had erected n
monument 10 him with the inscription
ITO Our Father Cabanel, who died for
France and God" The monument still
stands with the first part of the in
scription ITO Our Father Cabanel. 80
Father Cabanel was sent to Chicago
on behalf of the French High Commits
sion of which he Is a member, TO con
vey to Mrs Walter :. Brewster. chair
man Of the Chicago Committee Of the
Fatherless' Children of France, the gra-
titude of the high officials Of his eoun-
try for the service rendered to the lit
tie orphans Of the war.
Three million little children have
been orphaned by the war, and many
have lost their mothers as well as their
fathers. "Is it too much to ask of the
fathers and mothers Of America whose
little children are sheltered and cared
for," says this brave priest-''this lit
tie help of ten cents day for the chill
dren of those whose wooden crosses
mark the fields and highway of
Francef"
Mrs. Brewster reports that there are
still 10000 little children to whom
American aid had been promised before
the signing Of the armistiee, who have
not received the promised help. She is
answering inquiries from headquarters
at Room 92S, 40 5. Michigan avenue.

MendIna Lace.

Small breaks In lace can be very
perfectly mended with a little care
and patience. Place a tiny knot at the
end Of your thread and draw the
thread through the place where the
lace Is broken, Joining the broken
thread to the lace proper. Then draw
a succession Of loop knots over the
floating thread very tightly close to
the base. Now follow with the new
thread the course that the old thread
had taken and do the same with the
other loose end, knOtting It securely
close to the body lace. Cut away the
loose ends and the break Is no longer
pereeptfble.

FASHIONS IN FURS

A poor excuse is better than none,
and so milady will comfort her con-
science as she digs deep in her peck
etbOOk and purchases one Of the fur
wraps Of the new season with the fact
that a cloth suit or coat would cost
in some cases almost as much. writes
a prominent fashion correspondent.
In truth furs are propOrtionately
about as expensive and the only rea-
son that there is anything within
reach is that every conceivable fur is
in fashion.

Taupe diVet de Iains suit trimmed

ton hangs down.
Manchurian dog and even ordinary
house rat. As the scarcity OF furs
continued through last winter old
furs were dragged out Of the moth ball
closet and worn until there was not a
fur left that might not be seen on the
streets Of Paris.
Fortunately this brought every fur
into play, for just imagine the prices
IL only two or three furs had hap
pened to be in fashion, as In some sea-
sons past.
This is not TO say that there are not
favorite furs this year, too, but be-
cause some Of the less expensive furs
are In better standing than usual is
not an indication that sable, ermine or
any of the furs that are always high
in price are out Of IL. Indeed, It IS not
so much a question OF the kind Of fur
as the manner in which ii IS made up
and the color. Gray furs, squirrel and
chinchiIla are a shade more in demand
than those in other tones.
Tails as a Decoration.
Again, IL may be merely a matter Of
tails, and the wrap or fur piece that
can count the most tails is easily the
winner.
Probably the rage for tails is trace
able to the rage for fringe and any
and everything that bangles with
every motion OF the wearer. Seldom
are the tails placed anywhere near the
spot nature intended them 10 be.
Placed close enough together to form
a semblance Of. fringe is the approved
method, but as this is decidedly expen-
sive the close formation in short
spaces is sometimes seen.
The dOlman, more In evidence here
than abroad, Is very apt to show
long fringe Of tails that runs from the
wrist straight down under the arms
to the bottom Of the hem, otherwise
It may run down the sides and around
the back or around the bottom with
out any at the sleeves.
II is seen used In two ways about
the bottom, either placed at the top
Of the hem falling on top Of the fur or
about the lower edge and hanging
free. An ermine evening wrap by an
American house has q tan fringe all
above the hem, the little dark tails
placed very close and showing up well
against the white fur. The sleeves Of
this wrap are wide and hOppy. being
