In The Shadow
By Fred A. Hughes
MRS. GEORGE w. DUPEE

Mis-. GEOhGE w. DOFEE
One morning ninety years ago,
when the year was young, down in
southwestern Ohio a beautiful lit
tie girl, brown and velvety, was
born to bring happiness to her par
ents. 1t was on January IA, and
the proud parents named her Sa-
rah. She grew up and was wooed
and won by the late George w.
Dupee, who took her to the CAPT.
tai of acknowledgements; from
there they moved to Jefferson CT
ty, Missouri, the capitol of another
state. Here they settled and rear
ed a lovely family of six children
and a foster daughter.
She took wings of the morning
October Is, 1899, and flew away
to Peace.
For several years she served as
matron of the boys dormitory at
Lincoln University, formerly Lin
coin Institute, and many of the
prominent men in public life to-
day received their inspiration from
this kindly woman and revere her
memory. 1t was always westward
she travelled and came to Seattle
when the state was but quarter
of a century old.
Fraternal and civic-minded, she
lent her efforts to several organi
cations, formerly Grand Ancient
Matron of the Heroines of Jeri-
cho of Missouri, and one of its old
est members. Here she organized
the Sarah w. Dupee Court, Hero
ines of Jericho; also helped organ
ize Jeptha Chapter, O.E.S., and
the Sojourner Truth Home, serv-
ing as its secretary for several
years. Formerly member of the
First A.M.E. Church, but later she
took up Christian Science.
Surviving are four daughters,
Mrs. Schuyler c. Winston, Mrs.
Ida Belle Green, Seattle; Miss
Harriet A. Dupee, Berkeley, Calf.
and Mrs. Amilda Evans, st. Louis,
Mo-; one son, Chauncey o. Dupee,
Berkeley, Calf, and one grand
daughter, Miss Sarai Greene, Sc
attic.
Last rites amid a profusion of
floral pieces were held at the cha
pei of Arthur A. Wright & Son,

Modern Ladies Return
To Medieval Handcraft

Needlepoint is a form of self
expression as beautiful and excit-
ing today as it was hundreds of
years ago. In medieval times, the
lady of the castle would design and
sew into her pictures the romance
and sorrows of life while she wait
ed the return of her lord. Today,
with better canvas and more SUBJ
tly colored woods, women all over
the world are again working at
needlepoint even though their
lords have gone no further than
to their offices or clubs.
Whether you make your own de-
sign, or work from one started
for you, there is in needlepoint the
same thrill of creating something
beautiful, something that will en-
dure for generations. Often the
scheme for whole room is built
around a pair of pillows whose
central pattern has unusual inter-
est. Or perhaps you want to give
someone a gift that is entirely a
part of your own personality - so
you work in needlepoint decora-
tive chair seat that she will use
now and her children will appre-
ciate in years to come. Try paint
ing a picture in needlepoint with
a frame of the same handwork.
With little patience, you can add
many pieces of personal charm to
your home.
Both large department stores
and many small shops have in
structors to help you do your first
piece. If you are a beginner, make
something simple first = a door
stop or a bag; then perhaps
dainty pillow for your bedroom.
Later, you will want to create your
own designs. Or even, like the
ladies of medieval castles, work
the story of your own life into
wall panel that will be a personal
record for your grandchildren to
treasure.

Timely Topics

A GOOD Seattle rooters who
OMEN have been keeping
their fingers crossed for Homer
Harris, breathed a sigh of relief
on learning that the football team
coached by the local athletic lum-
mary did not go down to defeat in
its initial showing under Harris.
This is a good omen for any first
year coach in the south, in that the
loss of first game is usually
chalked up against the new coach.
The eleven players are discounted.
The records show that eighty per
cent of coaches from the north
whose efforts failed the first time
a team under their tutelage took
to the field, found themselves on
the pan" with faculty and team
alike. The southern psychology is
to the effect that a first defeat
presupposes bad year, and an
other glance at the records reveal
that bad year is another handi-
cap difficult to overcome by foot
ball coaches fresh from the north.
However, we are jubilant, not be-
cause we think Harris has dis
PEELED a superstition, but because
many who professed to be pulling
for Harris were psychologically
pulling against him by repeatedly
avering that Homer will never
make it as a coach" Even if our
home boys eleven did not win their
first game we find surcease in the
fact that they at least held their
opponets to an 90 tie.

Negro spends most of his money,
or, those with whom the majority
of the race spend most of its mo-
ney. At the outset we had visions
of the results to be derived from

cations, because the demands of

tive employer than the feeble eff

sponsors must have the support of
every Negro organization and ev-
cry lover of fair play in Seattle.
One group is just voice crying
in the wilderness and it behooves
the tentative committee to make
immediate contact with every or
ganization in the city, call a meet
ing, and from all bodies represent
ed, form permanent committee
of Woodworking citizens capable
of putting over this tremendous
job. Unless this is done, and in
the near future, the effort will be
defeated without the majority of
the people even knowing what it
is all about.
A WISE With the election of
MOVE DR.. Burton as its new
leader, the cooperative organiza-
ton sponsored by citizens of the
East Madison district should take
on new life. What DR.. Burton
knows of cooperative movements
is not so important as the neces-
sity for placing at the head of an
organization, people with vision
who realize that unless the merits
of an undertaking are kept con-
stantly before the people through
hard work, the hopes of those who
have invested in the movement
will never become reality.
Most of the effort that has been
put forth so far to make a sue
cess of the movement has been
made by S. c. Valley. Because of
Mr.. Valleys interest, many of us
have assumed that the store on
East Madison st. is a valley"
business. This is far from the truth
and no one deplores the contention
any more than does Mr.. Valley.
His interest in the cooperative
movement evolves from the sin
certify of his race pride, which, we
venture to say, is bit more gen.
uine than that professed by others
whose lack of interest has retarded
the growth of the movement. A
good suggestion for those interest
ed and with investments in the or
ganization, is that they wake up
to the realization that the organi-
cation was formed primarily to
solve to some degree our local eco
nomic problem. There is no or
ganization wherein the existence
of personal indifferences can be
more detrimental than in an or
ganization designed to serve the
common good of the race as a
whole. We suggest that DR.. Bur-
ton, with the help of the people,
streamline the organization in
such a way that the Negro will
realize the possibility of the frui-
ton of cooperative efforts.
