Sally, from the library, and an
office friend of keith's were to
witness the ceremony. Karl would
give the bride away. And Karl

Mr.. Shoup is right. All we
have to do at present time Is
to look at the incredible hats
perchcd on the heads of many
women to realize how foolishly
most of them hlindly follow the
current fashions.
Women should dress in an in
dividual manner. What Is good
on one woman Is absolutely
ludicrous on another who wears
it because 1t becomes the other
woman.
Hers are some hints Shoup
passes along TO mature women
to avoid.
Surplus bodices lagine).
Uninteresting, too-sensible foot
wear that may be comfortable
but certainly don't flatter the
feet and ankles.

Skirts more than three inches
longer than the currently popu-
lar accepted length.
Severe necklines which en-
phasize an aging throat.
Too much makeup. This brings
out complexion defects that no
mature woman should call at
fcntion to.

CHAPTER TEN
Keith and Hilda had gone
dancing after library hours. In
honor of the occasion she wore
one of her new dresses. Timidly
she had bought 1t. Wistfully she
stood before Keith after removing
her smoek. IL was nice little
frock, plain and dark. with green
suede apples at the throat and a
belt of green apple leaves. Her
hat was green felt a small off-the-
face model. Keith nodded APP
provingly
Cheap but cute" he told her
and she flushed with pleasure.
But. baby. wait till you see the
clothes I pick out for you.
Keith was In a good mood that
night and Hilda radiantly happy.
At midnight, leaving the Magic
Mirror Night club they were met
by a deluge of rain. Keith's arm
shot up and taxi moved to the
curb. Hilda loved the gesture.
From Nowhere
Keith seemed to pick the cab
from nowhere. 1t gave her an in
ferior, but very proud feeling.
Keith was so obviously accustom-
ed to luxury, so definitely man-of-
the-worldish. Hilda sighed. Would
she ever be able TO measure up?
Quite grandly he put her in the
cab and directed the driver. In
anticipation of future, and not 50
far future, richness Keith was
overstepping himself bit in the
matter of spending. He put an
arm around Hilda and she rested
happily against him. She felt
very precious and important rid
ing home in taxi.
The blow came when the cab
stopped at the Hartley Beach
hotel. Usually Keith and Hilda
entered the hotel by side door,
it being convenient to the busses.
Tonight they rode elegantly to
the canopied entrance.
Opened Door
A doorman stepped out and
opened the car door. Keith paid
the driver and turned with a tip
for the doorman in his hand. He
heard Hilda say Familiarity. This
is your busy night, isn't it,"
With the tip in his hand, Keith
stared at the doorman.
Stiff and straight in uniform
embellished with gold braid and
buttons, Karl smiled at Hilda

Were the Negro race the strong
er it would subjugate the white;
and the master now, would in turn
become the slave.
# the Negro has not by usuages
and customs of this state held
slaves this court will not institute
a new species Of slavery, and de-
cree that he can do; and we think
to hold Halves, would be to institute
that to give the free Negro a right
another and a dangerous species
of slavery hitherto unknown. The
free Negro cannot, in this country,
base his right to. hold slaves upon
the principle of conquest. He Is not
a different race of men who by the
sword have subjugated their fell
low men but he finds among the
slave population his brethren in
blood, color, feelings, education
and principle; they are the same
with him, and have never been in
subsection to him.
Another and a strong reason be-
yond the e question Of policy
why the free Negro should not hold
slaves, is that between the master
and slave there must exist mutual
and reciprocal obligations and du-
ties, the slave owing obedience and
fidelity to his MASTER, and the
master owing to the slave support
and protection. But the Negro is
not such a freeman as TO extend
protection; he is nominally free,
almost helpless and dependent on

the white race as the slave himself,
he has few civil rights, being mere.
ly protected in his person and pro-
pert by the law and being in some
cases to give his evidence in a
court of justice. He can bold no
office of honor. trust or profit;
cannot act as a juror Oh legislator,
cannot make or execute laws.
He cannot therefore. in any sense
extend to a slave the protection
due from a master, having no voice
in the making, altering. enforcing
or executing the laws; and having
himself constantly to resort to the
protection of the whites.
We think, therefore, that neither
usuage, policy. nor the necessary
relations of master and slave, will
permit free Negroes in this state
to hold slaves.
Humanity revolts at the idea of
a parents selling his own children
into slavery.
