Styled For The South And The Spring.
By EPsIE KINARD

NEW YORK.-The wrap that
started out as unobtrusively as
sweater to block out resort breezes
winds up this season as an impor-
tant little coat.
Such is the fashion status of the
little chill chaser designed for
matching or mixing, without which
no resort or summer collection
would be complete. The wrap OF
fingertip, waist or skirt length can
be made of fabric as rough as q
briar or as soft as kittens ear;
be boxy or fitted; or boast all
year-round wear.
Sometimes the chill-chasers have
a flicker of conttrs sting lining.
Often they're hooded with color,
or have multicolored pennant-shap-
ed yokes, as in the Vera Maxwell
pale fleece coat, right, with inserts
of navy and red. Boosting the
versatility of an-year-round wear,
it can match its mood to the city's
dark clothes, or go ight-hearted in
a twinkling with leisure-enticing
duds.
Chill-chasers that come in two
pieces are liked because they can
double as a dress or E wrap. Ex-
ample is the cotton tweed, left,
which Claire McCarden executes
in a dashing green and red plaid.
Basque jacket and skirt unite to
make coat dress, but seps rate
to ccommodate other wardrobe

Keep \ Diary

My SUGGESTION to you - and
this means those of you who would
like to give pleasure to your friends
- is that you keep a diary that
has eight spaces on each double
page - the seven days of the week
and one extra memorandum space.
Then, little by little, fill it as you
gather information.
Casually you can ask for in
formation with which to sur
prise your friends later on. Even
if they should remember telling
you. your keeping it in mind is no
less surprising.
The question of whether to keep
a separate remembrance book or
whether to use your regular en-
gagement book is for you to de-
eide.
You could make your friend
ship-remembrance notes in red.
This simplifies looking ahead with
out having to read through your
list of daily engagements which
would be written in black or blue.

Here is a way to keep
the Christmas spirit
alive all of the time

TAM much concerned with CIV
ing presents and wishing good
luck - not only for Christmas but
throughout the year. In this con-
nection, l want to answer a read
er's letter:
II wonder why we give presents
and mail cards only at Christmas.
Why do we let 1854 days 60 by
without any other evidence of low
ing or friendly thoughts of good
will?"
A trif1ing but perfectly chosen
gift in this same mail brought to
mind the practice of one friend
whose extraordinary thoughtful
ness, not alone at Christmas, but
on other remembrance days. long
has been appreciated. Her method
is very simple.
Into an ordinary engagement
book she writes events on the
dates belonging to them. Then. as
friends birthday or anniversary
approaches, she sends a gift, a
letter or, most likely, greeting
card.

Short Sighted Leadership?

In the call for a strike vote at the Ingalls, Shipyard by
the Metal Trades Council, it seems to us that a small minority,
headed by short sighted and unthinking leadership, are at
tempting to force their will and desire on the majority of
the workers, and their efforts will certainly do no good for
the labor movement. We are not, and have never been, anti
labor. The writer is a member in good standing of the In
ternational Typographical Union and has always been con-
WINGED that the labor movement has just as definite, and an
equally important, place in our social system as has capital
and industry. But along with that place labor has taken
upon itself obligations and responsibilities which cannot be
ignored.
The American Federation of Labor, with which the
unions involved in the strike vote call at the shipyard are
affiliated, gave its solemn pledge to forego strikes for the
duration of the war. That pledge is also a part of the Gulf
Zone Standard Agreement. No Smith-Connolly bill, nor
any other bill, sets aside that pledge made in good faith by
A. F. of L. unions, We will not 60 into the merits or dement's
of the five causes given in the Metal Trades Councils notice
to the National Labor Relations Board. Orderly procedures
for the settlement of these complaints exist and should be
used. The call for the strike vote is primarily based, we be-
ieve, on the union shop issue, which has been twice pre-
viously denied the Metal Trades Council by war labor
agencies.
In the face of reverses in Europe, a demand by President
Roosevelt for a work or fight law, and a desperate effort
to squeeze out every available minute of manpower in order
to bolster sagging war production, employees at Ingalls, will
because of the action of the Metal Trades Council, in the
words of the NLRB, decide whether or not employees wish
to interrupt war production 1t is impossible to understand
an action that would force approximately 1000 Americans
TO vote on a question such as that.

Pay Your Poll Tax and Vote

portion to the total population sets one to wondering just how
little interest the average adult person takes in his or her
local, county, state and national governments. for certainly

a total population approaching 10000 has a total of only
100 qualified voters. The only way TO achieve good govern

But don't forget if you don't pay your poll tax on or be-
fore February l this year, you will not be able to vote in
important elections scheduled in 1916 which include the
naming of a United States senator, a congressman, a circuit
court judge and a supreme court justice, besides whatever
elections that might come before the voters.
