THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL

have series Of poems representing
what the translator believes to Be a
portion Of the finest poetical express
sion in the Chinese language. 1t is
interesting to note the stark simplicity
of it. The first poem written two
thousand two hundred years ago is an
account Of a battle that ends with
these lines:
Their bodies were stricken, but their
souls have taken immortality
Captains among the ghosts, heroes
among the dead"
Then there follows simple, direct
pictures of poverty, of children crying
for their dead mother, of an old man
drafted into the army in his youth,
returning at four score to his home
where there are none to greet him.
The chief impression to be gained
from these classics Of 50 long ago is
their childlike simplicity and direct
ness.
AS one thinks OF the great classics
of literature one feels that the re-
Elective poem does not rank highest
but rather the clear picture of life that
must be touched by high magma
ton to linger in our memories.
It is much easier to talk Of our own
feeling, our own emotion than to en-
ter into the emotions Of others. These
Chinese Poems more than any volume
we could read Of travel in that coun-
try give us a picture Of the people
and an understanding of their thought
and life. Those colored writers who
however feebly, attempt to picture
their own people do US an inestimable
service.
We have heard the note Of personal
emotion, the bitter cry Of the perse-
cuted, many times sung for US from
the lives of the colored toilers, but
we have yet to hear, though Dunbar
gave the opening strain, the song Of
the poet who shall show US the lives
of the Negro in our land. How much
he will have to give US and from
what a rich field he will drawl We
anxiously await his comingi

French designers giving their attention

The consequence Is that we are pre-

because Of their economical possibiIi-

Jean Patou shows a strong prefer
ence for the sailor blouse with an Ox-
tremely youthful look. There are
many blouses of soft crepe trimmed
with ornamental braidinRs or with
fancy pieces Of ribbon, which are made
to stand out. There are some thin

an intelligent, systematic anti-lynching
campaign, the 5000 local organizations
affiliated with the Council, which
have an aggregate membership of
nearly $4,000 Of the South's most in
fuential women. The plan provides
for study Of lynching on the part Of
each local society, for the effort to
secure in each state such special legis-
lation on this subject as may be need
ed, for vigilance in the prevention Of
mobviolence, for active cooperation
with officials in bringing the members
of mob to justice, and for sustained
effort to develop in each community
a spirit Of good will that will make
such crimes impossible. In pursuance
OF these ends, the societies will seek
the cooperation Of all other religious
and civic groups. The Council pledged
to the campaign both moral and fnan-
cial support. Mrs. Luke Johnson, who
is director of Woman's Work in the
Southern Commission on Interracial
Cooperation, was reelected chairman
of the Councils Commission on Race
Relations.

Designs Of Oriental Tendency in
Evidence in All the Latest
Wearing Apparel.

TIL calico dress is setting it's I'M
print on all fashions; that Is, the
new print known as calico from Cal
cutta, a name used during the early
Victorian period when the queen first
became Empress of India and a big
English vogue began for printed
stuffs These calico effects, notes a
fashion writer in the New York Trib-
une, are the ap0the0sis Of the Cal
cutta cotton prints, as this so-called
calico of East Indian effect Is done not
only with prints but with an exquisite
embroidery and delicately patterned
braidings; all OF which follow the
Oriental tendency from a point Of
mixed colorings and infinite detail
Lanvin is showing dresses which
are solidly embroidered and she often
includes a solidly embroidered jacket.
Gabrielle Chanel, who is one Of the
most popular authorities on dress, is
showing entire costumes covered with
fine soutache, not the old-fashiOned
black soutache but lovely beige, brown
and cafe au lait tones intermingIed
with designs worked out In the new
fiuorescent tones. When first seen one
hardly knows what to make Of these
soutache dresses. They look different
from anything heretofore seen. They
are tremendously expensive and thus
viii be more or less exclusive.
New calico effects are worked out
with infnitesimal cross-stitching in
multI-colors done on a soft neutral
crepe de chine. These dresses seem
to hold within themselves a thousand
points of scintillating lights. The
stitchings are so fine and the colors
so intermingled that one thinks OF
fabric rather than embroidery.
AS for prints, there Is no limit to
the calico effect on georgette, crepe de
chine, crepe marocain, crepe mongol,
crepe ROMAN, silk jersey, every
weight Of cotton crepe, voiIes, all the
eponges and blistered things-all are
printed. Thus there are dresses and
wraps, hats, handkerchiefs, Innings
peignors and paJamas that are
printed. Parasols and fans are made
from printed stuffs; jewelry and other
ornaments Of painted porcelain, enam-
eled glass and metal are incrusted
with jewels In calico effect
Shoes are being inlaid with bright
bits Of color. Stocking clocks are
embroidered In multi-colors and shoe
buckles are in bright enamel, metals
and porcelain, also in silk embroidered
patterns, initiating these prints. One
wonders just how far the riot of color
will reach.
