What Accessories With Cotton

NEW YORK, June ia ques-
IN ton puzzling lots Of women is
what kind of accessories to wear
with the cotton costumes newly
fashionable for town street use.
The answer is: Less formal ones,
since cottons have that comfortable,
less formal air.
Shoes Of fabric combined with
leather or mesh are fine. Light and
informal. For the more tailored
cotton outfit, the white and . :"
shoe is smart-white buck with
black or brown calf.
Pretty Dorothy Jordan Of the
screen thinks the oxford illustrated
just about right. A fine example
of fabric and mesh combination.
No glove is more satisfactory
with cotton costumes than the
white fabric one. But mesnes are
newer and so cool. And the white
pique glove gets hand with tai
lored cottons.
Ribbed and corded fabric bags
meshes-they just we're made
to be carried with street cottons.
And the 1elt bag-perforated like
shoes-is new and informal.
Silk mesh stockings in the
medium size, Informal type mesh
are most appropriate. But, if
your cottons are very tailored, a
Isle mesh isn't out of place.
Cottons are smart for evenings,
too. Piques, organizes, dimities. If
you'd like to know what accesso-
ries the fashionables wear with
evening cottons. send the coupon.

JUNE IL, 1882
Gives Praise
to Work of
Cheer Guild

Commencing the work Of the
Riley Hospital Cheer Guild. and
similar charitable organizations, DR..
Thurman B. Rice, director Of the
department Of research and biology
Of the Indiana university college Of
Medicine, spoke on THE Future OF
the Race" at the annual June
breakfast Of the guild Thursday in
the Riley room at the Clsypool.
Dr. Rice stated that the work of
the guild in bringing aided comfort
and cheer to the children confined
at the Riley hospital was worthy
one, and that he had never seen
happier children in similar sur
roLndings. He compared with this,
however, the conditions existing
among sick and feeble-minded chill
dren outside the hospital, whom
charity does not reach except at
short periods during the year, such
as Christmas and Thanksgiving, and
who need the comforts much more.
Cites Responsibility
He pointed out the growing num-
Der of feeble-minded persons, and
the lesSening number Of those men
tally and financially able to care
for them. He compared charity to
the planting Of flowers along a
murky stream, saying that the flow
ers added beauty and cheer to the
banks Of the stream, but did not
purify the unclean waters.
He charged the women with their
responsibility to the future genera
tons in caring for those unable to
care for themselves, and to at least
make a desperate attempt to find
some means to prevent the helpless
and feeble-minded numbers from
growing.
Preceding the breakfast, work of
the various branches was exhibited.
The display included toys, clothing,
bedding linens, scrap books, and pic
lures used at the hospital The dis
play was in charge of Miss Alice
Velsey, assisted by Mrs. Blanche
McNew and Mrs. Mayme Byerly.
Mrs. John F. Ward, president, pre-
sided, and presented the speakers
and guests. She introduced Mrs. A.
j. Porter, founder of the guild, who
spoke briefly. Members were intro
duced according to chapters, which
are named after poems written by
James Whitcomb Riley.
Hear Boy Soprano
Preceding the breakfast, and be-
tween courses, music was provided
by a quintette from the Music Mas
ters School of Music; by Milton
Oils, boy soprano, accompanied by
Miss Louise Swan, and DR.. F. H.
Warnock, soloist.
At the speakers table with Mrs.
Ward, DR.. Rice and Mrs. Porter.
were the Rev w. w. Want, who
gave the invocation; DR.. f. T.
