majority Of the white residents have

The case came up from New Or

apartments in a white community to
other Negroes, was enjoined and car
ried his contention that the restrictions
were invalid and unconstitutional to the
State Supreme Court.
The latter courts ruling upholding
the injunction order was reversed in
today's decision, which briefly cited as
ground for the reversal "the authority

Uncertainty AS to Morning Clothes
BY MARY MARSHALL.

, are. too. thousands Of well dressed
| business and professional women who
| dress once for the day--and for what
ever social diversions they may in
dulge in during the afternoon they are
| content to wear rather simple day
time costume.
But that is only one way of sim
plifying the matter. The other ls 10
do away with morning clothes-at
least for the Winter season. This
would hardly be a practical solution
for the women of affairs or of bust
ness activities--but for the women of
society it seems to work very well.
One of the French dressmakers has
formally announced this Winter that
he will show only afternoon and eve
ming frocks. The social life in Win
ter, he says, does not begin until
nearly tea time. 1t is almost too much
to expect a society woman to appear
for luncheon, though you may meet
them in the late afternoon at con-
cert, at a famous antique shop or for
tea in the drawing room of a friend
or at some favorite restaurant. There
is something decidedly simple about
these afternoon frocks. Few of them
would be conspicuously out of place
even in the morning. They are straight
in line, long-sleeved and sometimes
high-necked. The skirts are short, but
not outrageously SO. Their trimming
is extremely simple-the ornamental
ton often consisting of a clever ma
nipulation of the fabric of which the
frock is made.

Skilled Hands.

Many a child leaves school with a
diploma and no education worth the
name What can he do?" asks the
interested stranger why. he has. a
good education. He can do anything
says his trusting guardian. And he
can do just nothing at all because
he has never been taught to use his
hands.
If YOU had only the knowledge hid
in the books what could YOU do to
earn your living? For one thing, you
could not drive a car, nor clean one,
nor repair one. For that YOU would
have to have skilled hands Books
would not help except with an idea.
Hands have to carry out ideas.
Nor could YOU make a loaf of bread
or cake or Jar of jam. Your hands
would have to be skilled in the art
before you could say. 81 can cook. "
Nor could you wash a baby the right
way unless you had practiced with
your own hands. What could you do
without hands? Yet the children are
being taught as if they had none.
The mistake came OF the distaste
for labor. Those who labored with
their hands did not have the social
position of those who worked with
their minds alone. or did nothing at
all. The less reason one had for liv-
ing, the higher his social position be-
came. There is some of that old
notion abroad still and a whole lot
of it has settled in the school houses.
The only kind of classroom built is
the sitting down land studying kind
in most of the schools in the country
What we need is shop for every
subject taught in the curriculum.
Hands must work out what minds
dream and think. Otherwise we shall
become nation of takers of the
word and not doors. Already we are
tainted with that notion. We believe
If we hold a meeting, pass set of
resolutions, read them complacently
in the paper next day. that we have
done something to correct an abuse.
What the abuse needed was hands
and feet and back and brain to set
it right.
In the kindergarten the little child
uses his hands freely. That is the
end From then until he graduates
from the university he need not use
them again save to push a pen or
pencil across a sheet of paper.

Soap is one of the things that
are more economically bought by

is a great difference in the price,
but the older and dryer soap Is
the longer it will last, the less
harmful it is to the hands, and

Carpet sweepers should be set
so the weight does not come on
the brushes. The hair and lint
which accumulate in brushes,
especially carpet sweepers, may
be taken out with an old but

scissors.
Little pieces of scented toilet
soap dropped in your hot starch
give the starch a fragrant odor.
Frequently tablecloths and nap
kins are stained by cocoa. Such
stains should be washed in cold
water first, and then boiling
water should be poured through
until the last vestige of the

poured through will prove ef-
ficacious.

Should he appear at the same hotel
which easily might happen should the
hotel be the best in town-the smile
and nod may be repeated; but unless

independence must manifest itself.

e. !. 'Tis as easy to be right as to
bs wrong. and to ones glory
Dear Anne Arden: What are the
rules of conduct governing women
travelling alone? Is it thought to be
improper. TO speak to other travellers,
especially gentlemen travellers? Do
ladies go to hotels alone Ia friend of
mine says mott and still be perfectly
proper?
Il will greatly thank you for the
how, when any why OF this.
MISS L. +. IL.
II takes a bit of analysis of self to
answer these things, and it takes also
consideration of our point Of view.
When we travel we necessarily rub
elbows with persons with whom we
should not otherwise come in contact.
However. thus does not imply that we
need be other than polite at all times
10 these fellow travellers as well as to
our usual associates.
Fo- a period of time past we have
heard much concerning the conduct
OF women travelling alone-what they
should and should not do-which was
mostly should not" rather than
should" 1t is tiresome, all this
dogma, for the first requisite and the
only guide to correct conduct is good
manners. and no lady is ever afraid
to be polite.
When on train alone-and ladies"
both travel and go to hotels alone
these days-the first requirement is
naturalness. The other travellers are.
on the whole, people not unlike one
self, merely bored or lonely on the
trip. If man should speak to a lady,
either from the next chair or a side
seat, or opposite her in the dining ear,
there is nothing else TO do but return
the salutation. If one is not disposed
10 hold conversation for any reason,
The conversation can be limited by the
brevity of the reply. but to be afraid
TO talk to the individual, or to feel
superior" to conversation with him,
IS a Door excuse.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, February /.

Friendly stars rule tomorrow. ac-
cording to astrology, which finds that
benetic aspects strongly dominate.
All the signs appear to indicate
great thought activity on the part of
the public, which will inquire into
political matters and will advocate re-
forms Of various sorts.
Aviation is to have a tremendous
impulse. the seers prophesy.
Educators now will prosper and
heads of universities again will be
consulted much regarding the state
and the nation.
This is a Gay most suspicious for
the desires and ambitions of women
who are to succeed in new plans for
important service, civic and national.
Under this rule, weddings should be
fairly lucky, since it indicates q fair
amount of prosperity, as well as
plenty of common sense in romance.
This is fairly fortunate sway for
theaters and places of amusement,
but there will be many experiments in
management which may not be sue
cessful.
This is planetary government
which promises much to agricultur-
lists. who are to profit unexpectedly,
astrologeis foretell.
From now on in the United States
the requirement of land will assume a
new importance and significance, If
the stars are read Alright.
Women are warned that there is an
aspect which seems to indicate for
them mental reactions, which should
be overcome. Among these are ego
tism and q childish desire for recogni-
ton. the seers point out.
All the signs appear to foreshadow
increased magnificence in the scale of
American homes. Dress again is to
be extremely costly, it is forecast.
Persons whose birth date it is have
a year especially suited for study and
serious thought
Children born on that day probably
will be exceedingly clever and inclined
toward the deeper view of life. Many
historians are born under this sign.
