COOPERATIVE CLUB PAYS
Dividend.

The Cooperative Club Of which Al
derman r. r. Jackson is President and
who own and operate two of the best
groceries and meat markets in. the
second Ward, declared a dividend Of
Eve per cent on all shares Of stock of
record September /, 1920, being the
earnings for the first six months of
business on an investment of only
$4,000 on that date.
The Club has sold LOCO shares al
Five Dollars a share, total of $1,000,
the same during the eight months of
its existanee and have only 400 shares
for sale to complete their capitol stock
Of Ten Thousand Dollars.
Their success is told in a very few
words; with only $4,000 paid in, they
own two stores valued at Fifteen
Thousand Dollars with a liability Of
only Three Thousand Dollars and all
within a period Of less than nine
months.
This is positive proof that eOlored
people can do real business with honest
arrangement and by standing together
Ike they have never stood before.

USE OF BRAID AS TRIMMING
Establishment May Be Effectively Ap.
piled on Skirt, Jacket and
Chemise Dress.

So much has been said Of trimmings
that it might appear that the design
ers' imagination had been taxed to the
utmost, but there are new things ep-
pearing each week. In the way Of
using braids alone the developments
are most interesting. A novel way Of
applying braid as a trimming is seen
in the use Of six strips sewn together
and applied lengthwise In groups OF
three at the sides Of the skirt, giving
somewhat the appearance Of plaits-
Again, the skirt and jacket Of a
very smart blue serge suit show five
very small cores, each edged with
black braid let in at either side OF
the hip. Then there are chemise
dresses braided In conventional de-
signs from the waistline to the hem.
A striking effect is obtained by trim
ming a black cloth dress Of this type
with fat white braid.
A frOek Of tobacco brown duvetyn
has a cape back cut in one with the
sleeves. A most unusual trimming ap-
pears on this cape in the form Of two
inch bands Of eutout embroidery,
through which the cape lining Of crepe
georgette shows. The cutout en-
broldery appears again down the sides
OF the skirt.

ACTRESS ADVICE ON DRESS
Character, Not Figure, Should BE Con-
sidered in Matter Of Gowns,
Stage Woman Says

DJeSs your character. not your fig
IRE, Is the advice Of famous actress
and rather surprising this advice
seems at first hearing. But think 1t
over well and the excellence of the
idea viii appeal TO you. Every woman
has a certain individuality of her own
"a temperament. il you will-that
makes her a little, or perhaps a good
deal, different from all other women.
II Is this individuality-this tempera-
ment-that woman should dress up to,
according to the actress, in order TO
make the personality more marked and
convincing.
But an instructive carrying out OF
this advice with no heed TO the prompt
ings Of reason may result In disaster.
For example, there is always the wOm-
an who weighs 200 pounds or there
abOuts, but whose personality is dis
tinetly kittenISh. Is she to dress her
character or her figure? There Is also
the very little woman who ought to be-
long to the cuddly, appealing class,
who yearns to be impressive and state
~. II she insists upon wearing the
garments Of the grenadier woman she
may spoil her chances Of being fas-
cinatingly charming.
But between these two extremes
there Is a very happy medium, and in
this idea of dressing up to ones type
there is also a very valuable suggeS-
ton. The importance Of rejecting per
sOnal individuality IN costume is APP
preciated by many women who design
their own clothes and hand the designs
to tailor. dreSsmakers and milliner TO
reproduce in practical guise. The ac-
tfess In her part is always dressed In
conformity with the character she Is
pOrtraying, but her cOstumes-and
here is an important pOint-are made
to suit her figure lines while express
ing a special sort of personality.

TIMELY FASHION HINTS

Big plaids and little plaids are used
galore.
Formal tea gowns show long. cling
ing lines.
Many short jackets flare from the
shoulder.
Brown net is richly embroidered
with gold.
Tailored costumes are mostly of
plain goods.
The newest form OF sweater coat is
a straight jacket Of white China silk
made Of several myers and quilted and
it is worn with a navy blue cape and
skirt.
Variety is the rule In the displays
Of autumn hats. They are made up in
velvet, duvetyn felt and laces. Many
Of them are trimmed profusely with
paradise.
The newest French lingerie is fash
Toned Of fine pink and yellow linen.
Another favOrite note Of the season Is
to be found I'm white linen undergar-

Indications point to the long sleeve
as the popular style for the new
blouses. In spite Of the favor shown
to the three-quarter-Iength sleeves a.
the beginning of the season. the pen
dulum Is swinging more and more to-
ward the long sleeve.
Applique and eyelet embroidery are
two new features Of the smartest fall
blouses. One model shows a panel Of
taupe georgette with eyelet embroid-
cry. posed over a foundation Of Hindu
color. A second model has tan vel
vet apples appliqued on a blouse Of
navy georgette. Tan filet lace and
green satin bands give a further color

smaller and thinr.er-
 Did you know that the handle of par ing knife is every bit as important as the blade. We'll it is true, for the salesgirl demonstrated it to me. It must be short enough so it is easy to hold. Try pairing potatoes with a long handled knife and see, if you doubt this. Some of the par ing knives were modeled quite after Dad dy's safety razor They look as if they would be very efficient. You know MT. Hoover taught that it was almost sinful to waste anything by taking off the skin carelessiy, and these are designed to re- move only the very thinnest parings imaginable. Of course, the thinner and the shaper the knives, the quicker they do their work.
 Another implement akin to q knife that I wonder how any housewife could pos sibly afford to be without is the spatula. This has a very broad, flexizle blade that is not sharp on either edge. It is invalua- ble for turning hot cakes, eggs, fried to- matoes and the like. It is very useful in scraping the cooking bowls and pans, in cleaning off the breadboard. in removing cakes and candy, etc, from the pans.
 Every tool should be worthy of it's owner, and so every housewife should see that her knifebox is filed with knives that earn their keep and do their work as efficiently as possible
