What Is Segregation?

Segregation is the special Amer
lean means of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of in
feriors in public status.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality of citi-
zenship, of freedom, of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial Of
presence and of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as ha wing been slave race
and make them forever the scorn of
civil society.
ut is a very effective measure.
Colored people are traitors to them
selves TO aid and abet tie idea by
self-segregation."

Flower Hats Come
Early This Season

Usually flower hats are worn later
in the season, but this spring is an
exception to the rule.
There is nothing smarter in the
way of millinery than a pert, flatter-
ing flower turban, or a wee flower
covered sailor.
The flower turbans are of a dis
tinctly new type this season. They
pose a huge flower or cluster over
the brow, and it's a guess how these
hats anchor into secure position, I'M
til you see at the back the clever
snood and ribbon caplike bandeaux.
White hats are something unex-
pected as a spring first" But here
they are, topping the new navy suits
and fitting charmingly into the scene
this very moment.

How To Stay Young

If you travel in the far East you
will find great numbers of very old
people whose ages you would mover
guess. The reason is this: They have
learned to relax. 1t is an Eastern
secret. When you relax your facial
muscles, you Immediately begin to
erase the wrinkles and lines brought
there by worry and care. So, learn
this priceless truth. 1t costs nothing
but it's a wonderful gift to women.
Watch your face in the mirror and
see the tightness there, then let go,
relax and see how smooth the face
begins to appear.

EASTER PARADE

Yesterday watched young friend
of mine get all dressed up in her Sun
day best for a gala party. She had
bought new dress and her best beau
had sent her a lovely corsage. Her
hat was the exact shade of delicate
blue as her dress. She should have
looked fresh and lovely but-unfor-
tunately-she missed.
Her white gloves had seen wear sew
eral times that week and she had
neglected to wash them. Not onlv
that, one finger had ripped at the
seams, and ratherthan take a minute
to repair the damage, she let the scar
let tip of her nail show through. She
had gone out the night before in her
new slippers, had walked across the
damp, muddy ground and failed to
give them a cleaning. Her blouse
needed pressing but she felt that it
would go unnoticed. But, alas, those
are the things we do notice.
Small Details Are Important
Few of us realize the Importance
of little details of grooming. A dash
ing new dress or suit only serves to
call attention to our shortcomings if
the small items of costuming are
faulty. We are inclined to say, ''What
shabby looking gloves" or GLOW dirty
her shoes are" rather than comment
on the excellence of the rest of the
ensemble.
Gloves, purses, shoes, belts, all those
accessories are so small that we may
be inclined to overlook their import

of matching print in the manner of
