PHYLLIS WHEATLEY
HOUSE
August rs, 1888


To the Editor
Twin City Herald
Minneapolis, MINI.
Dear Sir:
AS you know, one of the chief en-
phases of the program at Phyllis
Wheatley House is to assist young
Negro boys and girls to help them
selves; not only by developing leader
ship but also by discovering and de-
veioping skills and talents.
Many of our boys and girls have
musical ability. Some of those in
school have an opportunity to take les
sons on instruments owned by the
Board of Education. The majority,
I however, are outside the school, or in
other ways ineligible for the service
through this source. And it is this
group which concerns US greatly.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Peery
we were able to present an appeal to
the Johnny Baker Post of the Ameri-
can Legion on Wednesday evening,
August 24th. Their response so far
exceeded our fondest hope that we are
taking this means of extending the
very sincere gratitude of the Phyllis
Wheatley board and staff to this or
ganization.
Our friends will be happy to know
that at this meeting the following do
nations were made:
l. Complete set of snare drums
(loaned by Mr.. Bertelson).
2. Trombone-Mr. Ike Moore.
8. Promise of | instrumcnt-Mr
Lewis.
4. Promise of 1 instrument-Mr
Lonnay.
5. Donations of eight dollars in
cash toward one instrument.
In addition music committee wa.
appointed to work out further detail.
for cooperation with the Department
of Music at the house. This commit
tee will meet at the band rehearsal OF
Friday evening, August 10Th.
Such demonstrations of cooperation
from our local organizations can de-
serve only the highest praise from tn,
entire community.
Cordially yours,
Louise Bromley Oswell,
Head Resident.

convention here with fight against
racial discrimination.

NEWSPAPERS get to be mania
with some people. And they
aren't all reporters. either We know
q couple Of college professors who are
worse than any six reporters.
They can't bear to throw out a
back paper until they have gone
through it with flne-tootted comb
and a pair Of shears. They always
think that thereIl be some little It'd
bit that will come in handy some day.
Though, if you've ever noticed these
people in action. you'll discover that
they usually feel like quoting some
thing they forgot to clip out.
We don't think this would be such
an anti-social hobby if newspaper
clippers would only keep up to date
on their clipping But they never do.
They're always at least month be-
hind, which means that you can
scarcely climb around the living
room at all 1t looks like a back
number department.
Maybe those who have to live with
clippers should just accept it, and
try planning their living rooms In a
new decor. Why couldn't they use the
tops Of the newspaper stacks for ash
trays and flower vases, and Just
chuck out all the end tables? 1t might
give quite an individual touch to q
room. JEAN.

Persistent
Desire for
Beauty
Often There Is a
Pathetic Story
Behind 1t All.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

WHEN skeptics pooh-pooh the uni
versal feminine desire for beauty.
it Is not enough to Justify it. 1t Is
not enough to say that the woman
in the home brings new inspiration
to her husband and children when
she is as gracious in appearance as
she is in character. It Is not enough
to point to the career woman and
claim that good grooming and q good
mind go together and that it is very
natural for an employer to conclude
that one who is untidy in appear
ance must be careless In mind, too!
What We should like to do is take
them by the hand and lead them to
the innumerable homes where beauty
has given moral support to a crum-
bling spirit. These homes have to
be seen through the letters that pic
ture them and one needs not q very
keen imagination to visualize them.
The mother whose son had been
studying abroad on scholarship for
four years. blissfully unaware that the
family had had dire financial reverses,
and who. now that he is coming home
must find me looking lovely. I have
managed to save q little for a few
things, so tell me what I absolutely
need Outline plan and I'll follow
it. I have just five weeks and want

and infinite care should be taken to
give the cans sufficient heat to de-

the following suggestions to make:
THERE are two methods Of can
ming meat. One you may use only
II you have tin cans. BY this method
you put the meat into the cans and
exhaust them. This exhausting is
done BY steaming the filled tin cans
in q water bath before sealing. This
removes most Of the air from the
tissues Of the meat.
THE other method is quicker
takes less stove space. In this the
meat Is cooked first. then processed.
To, put .up 4 lot OF beef or other
meat. the best way to precook It IS
in boiling water until the color Of raw
meat is practically gone.
Frying meat or browning it in fat
Is not a suitable method OF cooking
before processing. That appetizing
brown flavor in the fresh cooked meat
does not carry over to the canned
product. Instead it makes the meat
dry and detracts from the favor.
Meat for precooking may be in
pieces of about pound each. But
when the meat is packed hot into the
cans these pieces should be cut so
that there are two or three to each
can. These smaller pieces process
better.
After you pack the meat into the
cans, cover with broth. See, that every
bit Of the meat is covered with the

Open toes continue in high favor,
but the openings are getting smaller
and smaller, in fact they call them
peep-toes now. Crossed straps are
noted in moderately open sandals. This
type Of shoe usually has the open
shank and one strap fastens over on
the outside. sometimes continuing
around the back.
Leather braidings used on q con-
trastlng fabric makes a smart trim.
This Is shown in one OF the photos
in very lovely shoe of suede with
matching kidskin. The one pic
tured is in new spring color called
Parisand. a lively tan lighter than
London tan and more toward the rosy
copper. 1t is difficult color to de-
scribe. but an easy color to wear as
1t combines perfectly with black, navy,
brown or green. 1t Is as new and ar
resting as carnelian was last year. This
color is matched in a most interesting
collection of hose, handbags and
gloves. The bags are feather light in
weight and beautifully lined and fitted.
The gloves come in two styles CEN
ter back seam pull-on and = cute little
"shortie' with one button at the wrist.
Another new feature Of designing is
the high tab back which one shoe
house sponsors. The high pointed
back is combined with q very low
pointed throat line and tiny peep toe
This was first seen in a few dressy
shoes for winter and now continues
as spring Offering.
Moccasin shaped trimmings are
noted. sometimes in contrast leather,
or with perforations on a plain shoe.
There are many good looking oxford
type shoes. which is generally con-
sidered most comfortable walking
shoe.
OF lastex suede there Is a we'll closed
shoe with a folded band treatment
that holds the foot firmly in place.
Its plain. glove hitting qualities will
appeal to those opposed to cutout and
peep toes.
A MOTHER angle on the new crop
Of spring shoes Is the use Of strik-
ingly marked python skin from the
tungles. This durable leather is made
up into very dashing designs In belts,
handbags and shoes. affording a group
Of matched accessories that are neu-
trail enough to combine perfectly with
black. navy and other shades Of blue,
as well as with gray and all the pas
tel colors.
These shoes, which are made in
five different styles. are particularly
interesting to the Southern traveller,
for they are essentially sprinelike. and
yet more versatile than white. They
appeal to varying tastes, for they
come in both medium walking heel
and high heel and a choice of closed
or open toes. The markings Of the
reptile skin are pleasant change
from the usual montone shoe.
For sports in the South they are
showing the wedge heel This is dis
tinctly a novelty. with the instep of
the shoe filled in solidly by a heel
that continues until 1t Joins the front
part of the shoe. 1t provides a per-
fectly fiat surface under the foot.
and yet the heel Is raised on the in
side. These are fine as deck shoes
as we'll as on the sand.

beginning 50 We Will know what makes
the new shoes Of early 1888 different
from those of the same period a year
ago!
There Is revival Of the classic
pump under way, and although moth
ing as radical as perfectly plain old
fashioned pump is scheduled for the
immediate future, there Is definite
trend in the direction of lowering the
toplines Of shoes and simplifying the
ornamentation. This tendency is
noted in shoes for all occasions, and
chiefly important in the semi-dressy
daytime shoes which often show modi-
fled DOrsay lines with low throat
trimming
Shoes that rise high on the foot
will continue through the next season,
but having reached their peak OF
height and intricate strapping and
banding, the pendulum is beginning
to swing In the other direction.
Next in news interest about shoes
Is the surprising prevalence of per-
foratiors. Pin point "perfs," as they
ere called by shoe men, are the most
important and look particularly new
In calf and kidskin. We have already
become used to them In sun. mer
buckos and suedes. They are worked
in generous areas, and are apt to be
closely spaced.
EABRIC shoes are outstanding again
as they were last spring. They
have the appearance Of gabardine, but
often are made Of other fabrics. In
navy or black with appliques of calf,
kid or patent they represent one OF
the seasons best offerings for con-
servatiye daytime wear.
