The advantage of a two-piece
dress of this type is that different

is the unerring work of the little
edge stitcher.

Meanwhile, she was continuously
popular lecturer in this country, speak
ing in all parts of the nation, at Chau-
tauquas, Forums, and lecture courses.
She addressed the students of most
women's colleges and of many mems
colleges. She spoke to all well known
colleges and school for colored youth
in the South. At the same time, she was
a prolific writer as well, her articles
having been published in many maya
zines and newspapers.
In 1894, woman suffragists of the
District of Columbia, after six years of
effort, succeeded in gaining consent to
the appointment of two women to the
Board of Education. Mrs. Terrell was
one of the two first appointed, a posi-
ton she held for eleven years, longer
period than any other member had en-
joyed.
She helped to organize the National
Association of Colored Women and was
its first president for some time. She
was also a charter member of the Ma
tional Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
Thus she lived an exceedingly busy
life. For forty years or more, Mrs.
Terrell expended her entire energies in
serving good causes. Especially did she
serve the welfare of her race and her
sex. Both have profted much by her

Oberlin was the first College in the
modern world to open her doors to
women. It was, however, clearly demon
strated that even Oberlin had not in

first graduation of women in 1841, the
essays of women graduates on Com
mencement Day were read by mem
Der of the Faculty instead of the stu
dent herself. Nevertheless, Oberlin did
lead the way and women all the world
around are grateful for her early cour-
age.

With all the fancy new millinery
on the market, many Of us are apt
to be carried away by our enthu-
siasm for the new and fluffy and
fail to avoid the pitfalls of being
over-dressed. Hats heavily laden
with flowers, ribbons, birds and
wells are distinctly "dress-ups" but,
unfortunately, we sometimes fail to
take this into consideration when
assembling the rest of the outfit.
A hat with tremendous floating
veil of pale blue or pink, or any
other color for that matter, looks
utterly ridiculous when worn with
a pair of brown and white, fiat
heeled sports oxfords. Nor will a
frock, trimmed and fragile
looking, show off to advantage in a
classroom, office or department
store. When collecting your outfit
for work or play, concentrate on
sturdy dresses, sensible shoes, and
close-ftting hats. Then, when the
time comes to dress for party or
an evening out, gather together
your fluffiest and most feminine
frou-frou, and give your desire for
ribbons, flowers, lace and yelling
free play. But be sure never to
confuse the two.
Makeup Should Suit Occasion
Wour makeup, too, should con-
form to the occasion. Powder
rouge and lipstick, carefully Sc
lected to match your skin tone, are
all that is necessary for daytime
wear. But when evening comes,
there are any number of glamour
aids" and glamour in it's accepted
sense should be limited to the eve
ming. There is nothing more grim

MOTHERS attention! With the
1NA coming of spring, every little
girl wants smart new dress to
wear. So it's high time for mothers
to lay plans for the annual sewing
campaign. 1t is none too early to
start investigating the smart new
pastel plaids, the denims, standings
and challis that are favorites for
juvenile fashions this spring. You
will be surprised how little really
lovely materials cost. For a dollar,
or even less, it is possible to buy 212
yards or more of good-looking rayon
challis. With a modern sewing ma
chine, just a few hours are needed
to produce an attractive sailor dress
or a plaid bolero dress or a smart
princess style, exactly suited to
daughters personality.
Even if the budget is slim and you
haven't had experience at sewing,
there is no excuse for making daugh-
ter do without good-looking clothes.
You can learn to do a professional
job of dressmaking by spending just
a few afternoons at your local sew
ing center.
Nowadays, even the couturier fin
ishes are easy for beginners to ham
die, because modern sewing ma
chine attachments make pleating,
ruffling, tucking, cording and appli-
que, besides the dozens of other
meat tricks" they perform.

MARY CHURCH TERRELL
An Appreciation
By CARRIE CHAPMAN Gait

There is one graduate of Oberlin that
| may know better and admire more
than most of her fellow alumni. Mary
Church Terrell, class of 1884, by ex-
ceptional ability, has brought honor to
her college, her sex, and her race. In
1898, thirty-eight years ago, she spoke
upon the program of the Annual Con-
vention of National American Woman
Suffrage Association. 1t was a long
and illustrious procession of men and
women who marched through the years
across that platform. Speakers were
invited because their presence lent infu-
ence to our cause or because thew could
make telling, convincing address. For
the latter reason, Mrs. Terrell had been
invited She presented a pleasing APP
pearance and possessed what the world
calls a platform presence" Add a
musical, well modulated voice and any
audience might have been prepared for
an enjoyable half hour, but the con-
vention was astounded by her logic and
eloquence Her address was pronounced
the gem OF the entire program. No one
who heard her then ever forgot the
occasion or failed to note her after
career.
In 1904, she was invited at the re-
quest of the American auxiliary to
speak at the great Congress of the In
temational Council of Women held in
Berlin. She spoke in German, French,
and English (having studied in Europe
for three years after taking her second
degree at Oberlin). So thoroughly did
she know these languages. that she was
eloquent in all three. Again, she won
the unanimous appreciation of the con-
vention and, in addition, became the
favorite Of the European press. I heard
both of these remarkable speeches.

Lace Accessories

Eoleros, Aprons, Jenkins
Enliven Black Costume.

Designers are using lace in I'M
usual ways. sometimes the lace,
usually the white starched Venise
type, is fashioned into full skirt
topped with blouse of dark crepe
or black jersey, the latter made SIM
ply 50 as to better display costume
jeWelry.
Then again, the order is reversed
white, strikingly patterned lace is
used for the blouse or bodice top,
of a boufTant black sheer or a grace
fully pleated crepe skirt. The
blouse of lace is styled in the new
long-torso manner, fitting as snug
as a sweater. So pleasing is this
lace Interpretation that it is seen
in afternoon fashions.
Novel lace technique is also ex-
pressed in cunning apron fantasies
that are detachable and can be worn
with various gowns. Most desirable
to have in ones wardrobe is
jerkin made of handsome lace in
firm wearable mesh. Worn over a
simple basic dress, it turns hum

for dress-up wear. 1t is we'll also
to include a separate lace bolero in
your accessory collection. Wear
it with a sleeveless evening gown
when you want to add festive look
to your otherwise all-black costume.

American Cloves
Wash Beautifully

American-made gloves, doeskins,
suedes and mochas wash beautiful
ly, and here's the way it is done.
exactly the way our manufacturers
of leather gloves tell everyone to
wash them.
Make bowlful of good thick suds
with lukewarm water and a pure
mild soap or soap fakes, being sure
that every bit of the fakes is dis
solved. Then putting on the gloves,
wash them just as though you were
washing your hands. Next rinse
them in clear lukewarm water and
then make another bowlful of lighter
suds for the final time. If they hap
pen to be glace-finished gloves, cape
skin or pigskin, the final rinse should
be clear, cool water instead of soapy
water.
Rolling and coaxingly pushing the
gloves off your hands, put them in
a turkish towel, pressing out the ex-
cess moisture. Then stretch out
the fingers bit, blow in the gloves
and lay them on a turkish towel to
dry-never on a radiator or other
hot surface. Just before they are
dry, finger press them, working the
leather, especially inside the gloves,
with your fingers so as to make it
soft and pliable.
And that's all there is to it! You
can even wash your colored gloves
if the feathers have been tanned in
this country Put teaspoon of vine
gar in each basin of water as this
helps keep the color. Some of the
color may bleed out, but if your
gloves are not badly soiled, SO that
you can wash them quickly, the
amount Of color that comes out
won't make any difference and it
will not be streaked.
Just one warning! Don't ever rub
soap on your gloves. And don't use
brush on soiled spots as this roughs
the leather

BEAUTY HINTS
MORE THAN BEAUTY
By Nina Temple

There is one secret that most women
do not know. 1t is this: Cleanliness is
more desirable than physical beauty.
Any man is impressed subconsciously
by the perfect grooming of any woman
There is an appeal in cleanliness that
beauty does not possess. We all say
chow lovely" when we see a freshly
laundered baby no matter how homely
may be his wee face. 1t is the fresh
ness that appeals. Cleanliness is more
than beauty and is a market to which
every woman may go with equal assur-
ance.

Evening makeup comes in shades
different from the regular daytime
variety. You can do all sorts of
tricky things with makeup at night
and create an illusion that would be
impossible in the harsh light of day.
Eyeshadow, skillfully applied, will
make your eyes look larger and
more lustrous; mascara will make
your eyelashes look as long as the
movie queens At night you can
appear several shades lighter by
using lighter shade of powder and
more vivid rouge and lipstick.
Don't attempt to do this by day,
however, because a powder that
Ndoesn't blend with your natural
coloring will make you look as
though you had fallen in a flour
barrel when the cruel daylight hits
you.
Save your glamour makeup and
your frilly frocks and your flower
or veil-laden hats for evening wear.
Be freshly scrubbed-looking, natur-
ally made-up and simply dressed
by day, if you would be classed
among the better dressed.
