WHEN DRESSING YOUR
HAIR BE CAREFU L

Everybody belongs to some part1cu-
lar type and the couture that is most
becoming to ore type of woman may
be sadly uncomplimentary to another.
No hair-dressing should be judged on
the merits of its front view alone. Peo-
pie see you more from the back and
side than they do straight in front. And
though your profile and three-quarter
sernblance may look actually strange to
yourself, in photograph, remember
those views of you are very familiar to
your friends.
You may have small head set on
a slender, long neck; or your head
may be rather large and your neck
short You may have decided bumps,
or fiat line at the crown of your head.
Your forehead may be low and broad,
or high and narrow. Your chin may
recede or appear prominent.
Your nose may be gay retrousse
or long and intellectual. All these
things should be considered III choos-
ing YOUR mode of hairdressing
when a becoming mode is found it IS
we'll to stick to it. A certain type OF
couture becomes part of your person
atty and though you may make slight
changes, according to the couture lines
Fashion demands at the moment, the
general effect should not change some
women look best with the hair drawn
up smoothly from the rape and the
back of the head outlined; others
should wear loose knot above the
nape. Certain women are much pref
tier with high hairdressing than with
the low, Madonna style; that is, hair
parted on top and drawn downward
rather than upward at the sides.

BRACELET and BAG
Arm Decoration Is to Continue as
Winter Fashion.
New Autumn Models More Elab-
crate Than Ever.

jewelers. are watching quite as anx-
iously to see what the new fashions
for fall will be as are the women who
will buy the models now being Gre
ated. 1t is really difficult to imagine
the head of big jewelry firm feeling
any anxiety about the length Of a
sleeve-but he does; for on the length
of the sleeve hangs the fate of the
sale of bracelets.
It is doubtful if there ever has been
a period in the history of the world
when so many bracelets were worn as
during the past year. Perhaps the
ancient Egyptian beauties might have
competed with the modern woman in
this respect, for they had the advan-
tage Of wearing bracelets on their
ankles as well as on their arms.
While Paris shows many dresses
with long sleeves and some with short
sleeves, American women will hold
to the short-sleeved frock for this win
ter at least. We were rather slow in
accepting it and we will probably be
equally slow in discarding it. This,
of course, means that quantities of
bracelets of all sorts will be worn.

vest from the sale of bracelets this
winter.
The handbag continues to be most
Indispensable adjunct to the fashion
able toilet. The new models for au-
tumn are, If anything, more elaborate
than ever. Some of the new tailored
bags are being made Of cordings of
silk braid sewn together in circles to
form the sides. The bag is then orna-
mented with pendants of enameled
wood beads in fiat oval shape. This,
with a frame of ivory, results in a
very elaborate affair.
Elaborate embroideries in colored
silk are seen on other new bags. A
beautiful model developed in gray
faille has a nouveau art floral design
done in vari-colored embroidery. The
frame is self-covered and the handle
Of silk is ornamented with enameled

LATE FASHION NOTES

The Turkish influence was shown in
a dinner dress of gray chiffon COM
bined with fur. A pulled skirt and a
loose blouse together with the fur
bands gave the dress an alluring
charm.
Simplicity was the keynote of a
blue serge street frock designed upon
the lines Of the Russian blouse. In
addition to the straight lines of the
skirt and blouse, the long tight-ftting
sleeves further emphasized the effect
of extreme simplicity.
A street dress of dark blue trico-
tine had bodice entirely covered with
white braiding and a standing collar
with flaring lapels which show only
when the neck is worn free.
Paris promises that we shall again
witness the popularity of the ostrich
plume. Plumes are to be used very
extensively for trimming and often to-
gether with fur.
A combination much favored for
boardwalk wear is heavy linen and
English sateen.
Bold Czecho-Slovakian embroidery
and a rolling tuckedt collar distin-
guishd a smart dark blue serge cape.
The embroidery is done in white and
is centered by a silver ribbon a half
inch in width.
Quite the latest innovation in
gloves has recently come from abroad.
It is a black velvet gauntlet on a
white glove. Then, too. white brace
lets on black gloves are very good.
Bouffant and wired effects are still
much favored for evening wear. This
style promises to gain in favor, since
Paris is sponsoring stiff brocades and
metal fabrics.

FALL FASHION NOTES

Gold cloth evening gowns have
girdfes of jet.
Daytime frocks feature a new wool
poplin which plaits WELL
Copper-colored shoes and stockings
for daytime wear are the latest fad in
Paris.
A warmth of color, softness of tex
ture, and flowing grace of line is
promised for the frocks.
The coat dress will be popular fall

short capes and coats with the vestee
effect will grace the slim forms of the
fair sex.
Odd colors prevail in high-class cor
sets of silk fabrics. blue, lavender. vel
low and pale green sharing honors
with the long-established flesh pink
and white.
French gloves are unusually attrac-
tive. Open work latticing, stenciling,
combination of two colors Of kid and
embroidery are all used as ornamental
ton. Gauntlets are fiuted or van
dyked.. a new departure being the
gauntlet which turns back like an in
Verted frill above the elbow.

Labor Saver.

Cotton crepe can be used to keep
down the ironing bill. For underwear
it should be made up with rather heavy
lace to look well, for if it is combined
with some lace or embroidery which
needs ironing to look it's best, either
the garment so made looks fiimsy and
unattractive or else it defeats its own
purpose of making less work for the
laundress. There is nothing more SER
viceable than cotton crepe in pink.
brown or blue and white for children's
rompers. Made with a little colored
braid at the neck and wrists and belt,
these rompers are pretty as well as
practical.

BOOTS YOU SEE
I'M THE MOVIES

You have noticed that the beautiful
heroine in the fye-ree1 screen drama is
dressed up TO the nine-that is to say,
her costumes are of the very latest cut
and style and all her accessories:
gloves, boots, handbag and SO on, are
perfectly correct according to fashions
latest advices. Some of the stars cos
tunes for an important screen produc-
ton cost great deal of money For
instance several thousand dollars were
paid recently for wonderful fur wrap
which the heroine wore over her eve
ming gown in certain production. Miss
Alice Brady, a favorite screen star,
wears enhancing clothes lin all her
plays and her footwear is always par
ticu1arly fetching. She wears, in her
latest picture, a fascinating little boot
of gray suede and patent leather that
is so graceful and so trim on the foot
it will be sure to be copied this season.
It is a buttoned boot-for buttoned
boots are now demanded with formal
costume-and the buttons are in two
rows, fastening a series of tabs that
cross all the way up the center front of
the gray suede toe.

GOWNS Do CLING
Paris Evening Attire Has Narrow
Fish-Tail Train.
Some Skirts Are Transparent and
Worn Over Short and Rather
Tight Slips.

Some Of the Partisan designers,
writes Paris correspondent, are MAX
ing evening gowns which cling to the
form, giving something Of mermaid
aspect, for in nearly all cases the eve
ming gowns of today show narrow
trains of fish-tail design.
In some cases these skirts are trans
parent and worn over short and rath-
err tight slips made of silver or alum
mum tissues. For young girls who go
In great deal for dancing, these lat
est models are ideal.
They are so quaint and yet so very
becoming. One might suppose that
the hoops, which are made of gilded
or silvered wire, would interfere with
ones comfort when dancing, but not
at all. They are so cleverly arranged
that they are almost fiat front and
back. while they jut out at either side.
In fact, the hips are oval instead Of
being round. But then these are dance
frocks for young girls. They look RI
dicuIous on women who have left their
youth behind.
For the latter-and am not speak
ing of elderly women, only Of those
who are no longer in the bud" stage
we have ideal evening dresses which
are bunchy at the sides without being
distinctly hoped.
Almost all the best of these models
have remarkably plain corsages. This
is an important note Of the present
season.

OKLAHOMA CLAIMS
OLDEST WOMAN VOTER

Woman suffrage was never received
with more delight by any woman in the
state than by Mrs. Elizabeth Dawson,
Lake township, Comanche county,
Oklahoma, who is probably the oldest
United States Mrs. Dawson, who is
10 years old, registered for the first
time at the registration preceding the
recent primary.
"Grandma" Dawson, as she is better
known, is taking an active interest in
politics. Grandma" Dawson lives in
the Wichita Mountains, a short distance
above Medicine Park.
She was born in Scotland in 1870.
She came with her parents to the
United States and located in Tennessee.
Later she moved to Texas and at the
opening in 1901, came to Oklahoma to
take up homestead. Mrs. Dawson is
remarkably active for her age.

SMART SHADES AND
INCONSISTENT FASHION

With smart little Elton suit new
sort of blouse is being worn, made of
striped silk, piped with cordings, and
an engaging little tailored hat that has
one of the new furry looking quils.
In winter, flowers made of silk on
millinery In summer for effects Thus
the inconsistency of fashion. The Elton
suit is navy blue, the striped silk blouse
cream with brown stripes and the tail
ored hat brownish taupe-a very smart
combination of shades for this season.
Buttoned walking shoes, with fawn-
colored cloth tops and stockings of navy
blue silk will accompany the costume.

The last note of elegance on a fur
suit is the little collar of peltry. A
pictured suit of black velvet has col

The Tam in Favor,

The favored hat for the small girl,
as well as for her mother, this autumn
is the tam. Nothing is quite so prac-
teal for fall and winter wear. 1t can
be made from velours or velvet or of

suffragists, does not intend to be dis
franchised this election, after giving
seven years of her life to the fight for
the ballot She stated that she would
cast her ballot in Moorestown, N. J.
despite the published reports that she
was disfranchised by her long residence
in Washington.

WOMAN TRAPPER MADE
$1,000 IN ONE SEASON

Mrs. William Chamberlain wife of a
rancher near Invermere on the Colum-
bia river, proved last season that women
can be successful trappers. She cleared
81 300 on furs with 90 traps. AS pioneer
in new feminine industry, she set an
example that will be followed by many
women throughout British Columbia
this fall. She is preparing to trap on
a larger scale. Her trap lines will be
set with 200 traps when the season
opens in November.
When last season ended her season
catch comprised 700 muskrats and many
weasel, mink, skunks and red foxes.

At the smart fall resorts it is said
the serge dress with braid or metallic
thread trimmings and low waist effect
is generally worn. The skirts are usual
ly full pleated, or have inserted wide
pleated side panels, and the sleeves are
generally long and tight.
A smart street costume worn by a
recent visitor in town consisted of a
brown broadcloth coat-dress with skull
collar and cuffs. The hat was brown

that had cocks feather on one side.

NATIVE RULERS FOR AFRICA

The action OF a recent race convention
held in New York City a few months ago,
in eecting provisional president for Afri
ca, was on par with the improbable ven
ture of sending Goals to Newcastle AS a
matter of fact, Africa is not only dominated
by the great European powers under the
guise of manufactures and protectorates. but
it has a generous assortment of native rulers,
whose powers have been restricted from time
to time through the progressive encroach-
ments of the white mans sphere of influence.
Outside of Abyssinia where the successor
of King Menelik still holds sway under the
ancient native title ''Negus" but little real
power is exercised by these native rulers.
Nevertheless they have a strong hold on
the affections of their people and exert no
little influence on their conduct in civil and
political affairs An example of this was
furnished by an article in the Lagos Weekly
Record, giving an account OF large meet
inc summoned by the Prince Eleko some
months ago, at which both the Mohammedan
community and the Pagan element were pres
ent. The closeness Of the relations between
the native rulers and their people may be
gathered from the tenor of the remarks with
which the Prince closed his audience. He
concluded as follows
ct am your Prince, whether you be Chris
tians, Mohammedans or Pagans. [ am your
head and this House is the origin OF you
all, but you must not refer your religious
disputes to me any more from today. 1t is
not within the area Of my privilege to inter-
fere with question purely affecting the
religious susceptibility OF the community,
Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1920-10-16

whether Christians, Mohammedans or Pa
gans, but if the question is political, that is
within the area Of my privilege and in that
respect [ am responsible to the Governor
Should any section Of you choose to bring
to me for my recognition any of it's officers
or officers after they are duly elected by
that section, 1 shall signify my approval in
accordance with my hereditary rights
When it is understood that there are hun
dreds and perhaps thousands Of native rulers
like the above exercising their hereditary
rights with the consent Of their people and
the approval Of the mandatory powers, the
futility Of electing a provision president for
Africa becomes apparent In view Of the
increasing power and progress of the natives
in Africa, and the ability manifested by
the native leaders, such action on the part
Of those removed thousands Of miles away
becomes an impertinence. If provisional
president is requisite to the redemption of
Africa, her native sons can be relied upon
to provide one at the proper time.
Africa has the material for real rulers.
She cannot be fooled by the spurious article.

NEGRO, ALL THE SAME BRUTE

TO call the attention of the average fair
minded white man s mind to the systematic
and united effort the great metropolitan
press puts forth to poison the minds Of the
white citizens against the colored citizens
the following article which appeared in the
Post Intelligencer last Wednesday morning,
is reproduced verbatum ct literatum:
Police and Negro fight for lives on brink
of roof Black, finally shot, falls five stories
to street as spectators watch.-By Associ-
ated Press.

Gill today struggled for twenty minutes on
the roof of a fve-story building with San
Domingo Negro he was trying to arrest and
then shot his antagonist to save himself
from being hurled into the street.
The Negro, with bullet in his stomach,
slid off the roof, falling into basket of
wash left on the sidewalk. There he died
a few minutes later.
Scores of pedestrians stood on Sixth Ave
nue. transfxed, watching the struggle Final
ly former sailor dashed upstairs to the roof
and caught Gill by one leg just as the Ne
gro was about to roll him into the street
The Negro, identified as Rafael Cotin, by
this time had obtained ellis pistol He
fired at the patrolman, wounding him. The
sailor cracked Cotin on the head with piece
of wood and Gill, regaining his weapon,
