Velvet Chic for Milady's Suit

So extrayagantly have the praises
of velvet been sung, it would seem
that there is nothing more to be said
upon the subject-until one catches
glimpse of the new velvets for TINS
season. Then does one realize tnat
the story of velvet is only at its be-
ginning. There was time when vel
vet was just velvet, suitable to wear
only a few months in the year, and
then laid aside until the coming or
another winter season. But now! In
color glory, in sheerness of texture,
in artful patterning or in superbly
beautiful monotone, velvet challenges
the most exquisite of chiffons and 9TH
er supple lightweight weaves TO outdo
it. That there is a velvet for every oc-
casion also adds neatly to its prestige.
While the new and enchanting print
yelvets are conspicuously in the lime
light, they have in no way detracted
from the vogue for sheer handsome
solid-color velvets. So far the velvet
vogue is developing on fifty-fifty
basis, plain colors and prints sharing
the honOrS.
In the tailored daytime costumes,
sheer monotone velvet finds one of its
happiest expressions. The model In
he picture, which is of transparent
velvet in q deep wine tone, merits
place in the fall wardrobe of the
woman who understands the art of
dressing with distinction. 1t would be
equally as attractive developed in one
of the handsome and yOguish autumn
browns, or in dark green, which is
also a very fashionable color this
season.
From a standpoint of styling refer
ence should be made TO the surplice

preserving tailored simplicity for cas-
ual hours, and for the formal function
wearing a very handsome metal fabric
type or one otherwise elaborated.
Smartly simple twO-piece models of
transparent velvet such as this one
and others equally as intriguing are
registered on the calendar, not only
as an autumn item but for midwinter
resort wear as well. Stressed in the
styling of these lovely colorful velvets
are finely plated skirts which vie with
those of circular treatment. The soft
jackets are usually detailed with
scarfs, the latest wrinkle being to
monogram them.

Do you have a comfortable spot in
your kitchen where you can sit down
for some of your tasks? We hear
much in connection with modern
housekeeping about saving energy by
sitting at ones work, and there is no
doubt but that a high stool at the
sink or ironing board is often great
help and back saver. There are many
other kinds of work done in the kitch-
en-, too, for which one might be seated

comfortable working surfaces handy

or whatever you like to call such
nook off the kitchen is that it provides
just this sort of place for working in

General Membership Meeting.

General Membership Meeting.
After the presentation by Comrade
Lovestone and the reading of the
resolution, questions and discussions
began:
The following comrades partici-
pated in the discussion: Konikov,
Harry Canter, Kraska, Whittier,
Zelms, Weissman, Binch, Kay, Vino
cur, Miller and Bail. All the speak
ers with the exception of Konikov and
Binch supported the position Of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Comrade Konikov: Criticized the
presentation of Lovestone as not hav-
ing placed the case of the Opposition
in a good light. Does not agree with
Opposition platform, but is opposed
to expulsion of Trotsky and Zinoviev.
Does not know the issues involved, but
is opposed to wage policy of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union. OPP
position was not given an opportunity
to place the platform before the mem
bership. What of the Last viii and
Testament of Lenin in which he op-
poses Stain. Stain too dangerous
and has expelled such splendid COM
rade as Trotsky
COmrade Binch: Lovestone makes
too light of the expulsion of the lead
ers of the Comintern. Canter over
does the idea of discipline. We are
not the Marine Corps. Lovestone may
be here for Interior motives. We are
not so young in factional struggle.
L understand what Konikov meant
by trying to arouse doubt in your
mind. The question is too serious.
Only 1000 voted for the Opposition
because everyone who voted against
Stain or rather the Cntral Committee
was IN danger of losing his bread. I
am for the resolution.
Konikov and Binch Criticized.
The sentimental outburst of Koni-
kov and the confused but dangerous
line of Binch were sharply criticized
by many comrades from the floor.
After Comrade Lovestone summed
up the vote was taken at Ills a. M.
and resulted in 104 for the resolution

the resolution was that of Doctor
Konikov.

far cry from the false and ingratiat-

tons revealed him to be a man of
sence. He is undoubtedly the out
standing hit of the evening.
"Show Boat" is an excellent musical

sky on the possibilities Of building So
cialism in Russia. Calls for support
of Resolution.
COmrade WinOcur: Story about not
knowing Opposition platform is ride
ulous. Trotskyism is not a new issue.
Was convinced three years ago that
Trotsky was wrong. Basically the
same problems are now involved.
Trotsky has become a permanent
warrior against the Party and the
Central Committee is correct in the
expulsion of<Trotsky and his recent
allies.
Comrade Canter: Not enough to OPP
pose Opposition because Of breach OF
discipline. Must know why they
broke discipline. Must try to under
stand Opposition platform so we may
better combat it.
Comintern was correct on the ques-
ton of breach of Anglo Russian Com
mittee. The responsibility for the
breach is with the reformists and
came at a time when masses were dis
illusioned about their militancy.
There is an exaggerated demand
for democracy in the Party. Must
remember that Party is build on prln-
ciple of democratic Capitalization.
Must have discipline. The Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union is
correct in the expulsion of the OPP
position leaders. Must support reso-
ution.
Comrade Hagilias: For the expul-
sion of Trotsky and Zlnovlev' Se-
Iieves also Kamenev should be sS-
pelled. Opposition claim that middle
I,oasantrv is breaking up is false. OPP
position claim the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union is denying strug-
gle in the village is false because
Party is successfully combating 1t.
Must fight against effort OF East
man, Lore and others to form new
Party under guise of Trotskylsm.
Must support Central Executive Com
mittee resolution.
Comrade Mccarthy: Opposition
struggle against Party is important
for us in America. Opposition strug-
gle has inspired the enemies of our
Party to organize Party of their own
Lore, Eastman, etc. The Commu-
mist Party of the Soviet Union is cor
rect in its policy on Opposition. Sup
ports resolution.
Comrade Anmahien: Is for the
resolution. Opposed to allowing COM
rades to commit political suicide in
side the Party. When comrades
deviate must try to correct them
When that fails must put them out
After Comrade Lovestone summed
up, the resolution came to vote and
was carried unanimously.
