I heard Il girl complaining that hei
suit skirts always caught on the front
bone OF her corset and hung there in
most unsightly fashion. 4 great many
Qirl experience the same trouble
There is q corset made that docs away
with that sort Of thing. 1t Is cut as low
bust as any other 7 have worn, but is
made in such manner that the bone does
not stick out to catch the skirt or in to
poke the wearer. The two front bones
stop about an inch and half or two
inches below the top, and about the
top is q piece Of wide elastic, through
which is run piece Of soft pink ribbon
that ties in the front. You've no idea
of the satisfaction, and the ones l saw
were pink brocaded and were selling at
81. 90, valued at So.
Even though the weather be warm
one frequently needs kimono Of some
sort when going through the hotel halls
from the bedroom to the bath or sitting
around the house summer afternoons.
To my way OF thinking the japanese
kimono is by far the most graceful OF
any and I've not been without one for
a great many months. i saw pink ont
today, splendid quality crepe, the long
sleeves decorated with white embroidery
the kimono. Then there Is blue one
priced from SO. 90 to 81. 90. and that j!
far more reasonable than I've seen foI
some time.

BELFAST
so Years Dressmaking

r Miss Annie Going of Belfast has
Just rounded out q half century OF
continuous work at her trade, dress
making, and expects to continue for
some time to come if her health re-
mains as good as it has been for the
past so years. During that long Pc
Rod of service Miss Going has seen
many changes in style and has made
everything 1sSm the house dress to
the most elaborate evening and party
gowns, tailored suits and sport
clothes. She had made skirts long
and skirts short, full and tight, gath
cred and plated and of every con-
ceivable color. Hoopskirts, sheath
skirts, hobble skirts have come and
gone in her day. The first short skirt
known as the rainy day skirt which
just cleared the ankles was long
one compared with the longest worn
today. Then came the bicycle skirts
when women dared to wear them well
above the ankles and many people
were shocked, and it was necessary
to wear leather boots to the knees.
What would they think of the modern
young woman with her skirts just be-
low her knees.
Skirts with trains sweeping the
streets. picking up all the filth and
germs from the sidewalks were for
many years considered not only at
tractive but were scarcely ever spok-
en- of as unsanitary. Who would dare
wear one today? Not the modern
woman with her fear of germs and
who has been educated in sanitary
science.
Miss Going learned her trade with
Ellen Burkett of Union and for about
three years was located in the village
of Appleton, Knox county. associated
for one year of that time with Miss
Ella Conant. now Mrs. Ella c
Thomas of Columbus. Neb. For forty
five years Miss Going has been locat-
ed in Belfast and of these forty
three have been spent in her present
location in the Pythian building, cor
rer of Main and High streets. She
is doing her work without an asss-
tant although in past years she has
employed from eight to ten girls.
notwithstanding her busy life, Miss
Going finds time for a great deal OF
church work and is active in the
Methodist church of which she is a
member and head of the primary de
partment in the Sunday school.

NAUSEATING.

. RI ~ o.. .
! It is nauseating to read the rot
given out by R. r. Motion, principal
of Tuskegee, as he travels through
the South in jimcrow cars, stopping
now and then to make speeches laud-
ing his oppressors. If he were the
only one to suffer it would matter
little, but his words are promptly
telegraphed all over the country, and
every time he opens his mouth the
colored people Of the entire country
sink lower in the minds of those who
read. Many of his statements are
wholly without foundation in fact.
For instance in a recent lecture
before the students of the University
of North Carolina, the wires say he
said: sThe Negro race has advanced
further than any similar number Of
colored people anywhere on the globe
because it has had the privilege of
coming in contact with the white
people of the South" Could any
thing with a smaller amount of truth
and a greater amount Of servility be
compressed into one sentence?

there are about 22,OOOOO0 people
with more or less Negro blood in

SECRETARY JOHNSON OF N. A. A,
C. P. coNFERS WITH PRESIDENT

! Secretary James w. johnson, Sec
rotary of the National Association
for the Advancement of the Colored
People, in recent conference with
President Harding, emphasized the
important fact that the national as.
ISOLATION was not interested in the
parceling out of petty jobs; but that
it's interest was in the enactment Of
measures to relieve oppressive con.
ditions affecting <colored people.
The specific points discussed were:
! !. Passage of a federal anti-lynch.
ing law by Congress.
2. A wide and thorough investiga-
ton of peonage conditions in the
Southern states, to be made by the
Department Of Justice, followed by
the punishment of the perpetrators
of the peonage system. ~
B. An investigation of disfran-
chisement in the South and the right
of the Negro to vote under the iden-
tical qualifications required of other
citizens. III. >. >
d.. The appointment of a Nation
al lnter-racial Commission to make a
thorough study of race relations. ?
5. Congressional investigation of
both military and civil acts of the
American occupation in Haiti.
b. The appointment Of colored as
slstant SECRETARIES in the Departments
OF Labor and Agriculture.
Z. The adjustment by executive
order of all race segregation in the
Departments at Washington and the
United States Civil Service.
Some of the things asked for are
good, but others are bad, as we shall
endeavor to show editorially in our
next issue. We also believe that
point No. z should come first, as it
is a matter which can be handled by
the President without any discussion
or suggestions from either his cab
met or the Congress, and we have it
on the authority of William Monroe
Trotter and others that the President
when candidate for the office prom
ised that he would issue such an or
der. That is the fundamental propo-
sition upon which everything else
rests. Let segregation by the Fed
eral government cease.

Mr.. HARDING's CHANCE.

For eight years one-twelfth of the
cltizenry Of the United States suffer
ed from, the humiliation of segrega.
ton in the civil service of the coun.
try: 1t was a condition forced by
President Wilson, who while deliver,
ing his smooth talks about world
democracy, used his great power to
humiliate and degrade millions of his
fellow countrymen. ~
Wilson considered himself a super
man, and his ambition was to be the
president of a super government and
go down in history as the greatest
man who ever lived Repudiated at
the ballot box by his countrymen, he
is today, according to all accounts a
physical wreck. And as he sits in
his easy chair, his keen intellect is
tortured by the spectres of his de-
feated ambitions s &C.,.
Mr.. Harding, you have the pow
er to wipe out the President Wilson's
great wrong to the colored people.
You have stated on many occasions
that you. believe in equality Of citi-
zenship. You have the power to is
sue an executive order abolishing
segregation in the departments at
Washington and in the Civil Service
of the United States.
Will you do it, Mr.. Harding?
