THE HANGING OF RAINEY BETHEA
(By James Beeks)

In my old Kentucky home
The sun shines clear and bright;
It's beaming rays CLINT down
On dark and fearsome sight.
A gruesome scaffold is outlined
Against the morning sky;
A boisterous crowd is gathered there,
To see a Negro die.
On the strength of confession,
Wrung by dint of threats and blows,
They are hanging Rainey Bethea-
Is he guilty? No one knows.
81 find the procedure legal,
Says a Judge, with solemn face.
It's good law to hang Negro,
Any time and any place.
They are bringing forth the victim,
Hark! the vast crowds joyous cry;
They have come to safe their blood lust
See a human die!
AS he slowly mounts the scaffold,
Raucous jeers and catcalls greet him,
And he, no doubt, wonders mildly,
Will they also cook and eat him.
AS poor Rainey strangles slowly,
Lusty cheers ring long and loud
Southern "chivalry" has gathered here,
To do Kentucky proud.
One spectator yells out loudly,
"This fiends course is nearly run
But poor Rainey was outnumbered there,
Ten-thousand fiends to one.

Choose Simple
Style for Hair
on Sea Voyage
BY ALICIA HART

THE day before you start on a
Il winter holiday trip decidedly is
not the time to have your hair
dresser design an intricate couture.
Given a free hand he probably can
make you look like picture of
screen actress coming down a gang
plank, but how long will your hair
stay that way?
Not for more than the time 1t
takes you to pace once around a
windSwept deck. I'm afraid, so you'd
better stick to simple hairdress
and one that will be as nice for
dancing after dinner as for deck
tennis in the morning.
More and more simple hair styles
that are waved softly backward
from the face whats more, can be
combed backward with your own
two hands, are catching on. If you
haven't tried one of this type, you
might do so a week before yoa start
on your trip.
If you don't like it, you can go
back to your old style when you
get your hair done again the day
before sailing date
Anyway, don't be persuaded to go
on a cruise with dozens of ringlets
that will have to be whipped into
shape by the ships hairdresser be-
fore dinner each night In the first
place, so many appointments will
break your budget.
Secondly, you'll miss the o'clock
"horse races" in the main lounge.
Also, likely as not the curls won't
stay in overnight and you'll have
to breakfast in bed thereby making
the young man you're trying to i'm
press think you are the kind of girl
who gets seasick.
You might consider plain, I'M
waved couture with halo braid. II
your hair is long. this will be prac-
tical all day long If short. wear it
straight during the day, pin up the
ends and faSten the braid around
your head for evening.
If you're one who likes to stroll
around the deck between dances.
don't forget a Juliet cap or some
kind of evening hat or veil to keep
your hair in place.

IULIA'S heart beat faster. Would
- this job, too. be virtual imprison-
ment-as she had suffered on the
Wood Nynph?
Certainly she had no desire to
spend very many days and nights,
friendless, on a lone ship moored
out from shore. But perhaps Latta
was having some mild fun with her.
Fortunately it was not very
many more minutes before there
doomed ahead of them the outlines
Of ship. 1t was not now fully
Illuminated, except for its regula-
ton lights, and to Julia it seemed
black and forbidding hulk bearing
down upon them.
But Latta'S man Unanswered the
small boat with the perfection of
long experience, and Tony Latta
helped Julia to the landing plat
form. In another moment she was
on the deck of his gambling ship.
TT was not the largest ship out
a of the harbor that night, but
neither was it very small. Latta
explained that he had purchased it
from a transportation company
which considered the boat out of
date.
But she's fine for my purposes, F"
he said. Il got her for song, and
I sold the engines for good price.
too" He laughed, pleased at his
own astuteness. "She don't need
engines-we tow her when we want
to change her position.
But mostly she's just anchored
tight, and I got plenty of weight in
her hold and she don't roll much"
The interior was not a. all what
Julia had expected. 1t was more
like the interior of fine hotel than
of smaller passenger vessel.
There were three large gambling
rooms with cream colored walls and
furniture that just missed being in
horid taste.
Most of the chairs and settees
were in bright red leather, which
seemed to please Latta immensely
and the game tables were all COW
cred with green felt, and marked
for dozen different games of
chance.
But here is where you will sing"
Latta said, and pushed open wide
white swinging door.
Julia gasped. 1t was, in truth,
miniature night club. There were
small tables, each with blue cloth.
At one end of the room was a space
for small orchestra, and along one
wall was cocktail bar, Respondent
in gray wood and indirect lighting.
Latta smiled. "A nice setting for
my-my little jewel, eh?"
tits so much nicer than I ex-
pected," she said, without thinking
how her remark might sound.
But Tonys boat gets the best
people,, he assured her. Your sing
ing will not be wasted F.. And now
I will show you your room"

IHAT, too, was lovely, but there
II were some evidences of the
former occupant that Julia found a
bit gaudy.
Adjoining it," Latta explained,
setting down her bag, sis a little
room with a comfortable cot. Even
if you decide not to stay aboard,
you may want to rest" He looked
at his watch
Eve asked the orchestra to come
early tonight, in case you want to
run over some of the songs with
them"
I'D like to-" Julia said.
But as Latta closed the door she
was trembling in every fibre of her
slender young body. This was such
strange new world in which she
had chosen to make her way. Yet
there was no turning back now.

1896 Decorations Strizp for Spacious Effect
BY MARY MARGARET MCBRIDE


NEW YORK, Feb. 5. (NEA)-
1 " Round coffee and cigaret
tables with no corners to bark
your shins, cork floors for the sake
of the people underneath or to
benefit your own feet, largish fur
niture and not so much of it,
solid comfort in chairs and sofas
these are the 1885 notes in in
terror decoration.
ModerniStic metal has given
place to more flexible modern
wood. Nothing is done for effect
only, as it was once. Window and
wall treatment have been simpli-
fed for comfort.
Take. for instance, the average
living room. 1t is 14x16 feet, ac-
cording to the statisticians. The
problem is to make it seem larg-
er than 1t is, livable and attrac-
tive. One entire wall of mirror
helps build the illusion of spa
ciousness. Another wall is light
in color to contrast with the two
darker walls and furniture. The
chairs are the right height to al
low leaning back restfully and
are upholstered for comfort, not
looks.
TINE newest note, by the way,
i is to have the wall space
broken so that pieces of furniture
can't be set stiffly against the
wall as they used to be. The fur
niture itself serves several pur-
poses as rule. In bedrooms,
dresser, chest and cheval mirror,
for instance, form a single unit
that makes for unity and grace.
There's also a move on to rem
der dining rooms less cold and
formidable by turning them into
combination bars and lounging
rooms.
The most sensible innovation of
all, though, has to do with cur
tains and draperies. The modern
windows CASUALLY they are case
ment, incidentally, wear either
curtains or draperies, not both.
This does away with extra
bunchiness and allows the occu-
pant of the room to get an occa-
sional glimpse of what is going
on outside.
Paint seems to have little
edge on wallpaper at the moment,
and all the strange panelings
that were so popular for while
have been abandoned.
A budget room for combined
dining and living fitted up by one
department store costs less than
$500 to equip and contains double
studio couch, dinette table and
chairs, two lounge chairs, desk,
Bullets for china and linen (these
look like chests, bookcase, end
table and coffee table.
