dainty patterns. The pearls and

they acquire an overall effect of
embroidered designs.
Jet is especially favored to
highlight elegant suedes in black
on black combinations.
The most feminine group of the
entire collection is a series of ex-
tremely delicate gloves in white
glace or suede topped with pastel
crystal beading, iewel-like ac-
cents of understated elegance.
There appears to be little unan-
unity on how popular ve1vets will
prove for fall selling. Buyers re-
actions thus far have been spotty,
producers say. A spokesman for
leading branded house indicat-
ed, however that velvet orders
booked to date are we'll ahead of
last year.
Optimism about prospects for
fall is based largely on the pre-
ponderance of novelty styles in
the market. Observers indicate
that in order to be well dressed
this fall, women will be obliged to
own several pairs of novely
gloves to 60 with various cos
tunes.
That's the story ladies. Hope
you take its contents as pref
erence and not a peeve. After all,
gloves are not too expensive. And
it wouldn't be bad idea to en-
phasize them this season. It may
save you on the budget.

WIFE OF
LIBERIAN
AMBASSADOR
ARRIVES IN us.

Mrs. Clarence L. Simpson,
wife of the Liberian Ambassador
to the United States, arrived in
Washington Saturday, August %.
Mrs. Simpson flew from Liberia,
arriving at lakewood airport,
New York, via Pan American air
lines. Due to illness which de-
tanned her in Liberia, Mrs. Simp-
son was unable to accompany the
Ambassador when he assumed his
new post in May of this year.
Mrs. Simpson, who is a gradu-
ate of Liberia College, is also a
qualified lawyer and has prac-
ticed law since 1929.
The two daughters of Ambas-
sador and Mrs. Simpson, Clarice
and Amanda, arrived in the
United States on August 8. Clar-
ence L. Simpson Jr. has been
studying at the. University of
Massachusetts. Miss Clarice
Simpson will enter Boston Uni
versity this fall.

tent versus the toga; the crisp
versus the fluid look. But regard
less of the choice on detail, certain
basic campaign issues are para
mount in any fashion platform.
The women who keeps well in
formed on such vital issues will
recognize Immediately the merit
of the following fashion plat
form.
BECOMINGNESS: First and
foremost in any campaign to get
favorable fashion vote is be-
comingness, for if a costume does
nothing for the wearer, then there
is no excuse for wearing it ex-
cept the very elementary one of
protecting the body. So notwith-
standing what the fashion de-
signers come forth with this fall

a monstrosity, you know the
smart gal is going to adjust in the
general direction of the prevail
ing mode, but will stand most
closely by those lines that do

BUDGET: Another major con-
Sideration is budget. Gone are the
days (happy farewell) when one
has to be on speaking terms with
"Brewster's millions" to be well
dressed. Of course the smaller
the clothing allowance the more
Selective one has to be, but
thanks to the American system of
mass production, smart clothes
can be bought at nominal prices.
SIMPLICITY: In no area is the
need for restraint more pro-
nounced than in the matter OF
being smartly attired. Many an
otherwise handsome outfit has
been utterly ruined by the addi-
tion of just one item too many.
This isn't to say that one must
never use decorative touches. It
is essential to learn TO distin-
guish between simplicity and a
paucity of ideas. However, if one
has to err, tbs better to do on the
simple side, for overdressing is
the most effective barometer Of
poor taste yet devised.
COLOR: Even if you don't 60
so far as to subscribe to the be-
lief that beautiful color can COM
pensate for poor lines in a GUS
rune, no one can deny the Won
appeal of the magic color. 1t

JAMAICA ASKED
TO HONOR
GARVEY

KINGSTON, Jamaica - (ANP)
On a motion moved in the
house of representatives by Fred
L'Overture BARGE Evans, United
Negro Party Leader, the govern
ment of Jamaica has been asked
to declare August II each year.
a national holiday to be called
Patriots Day, because the late
Marcus Garvey of Universal Ne
GRO Improvement Association
fame. and late J. A. G. Smith
who helped to win new ConSt1-
tuition under Universal Suffrage
from Britain, were born that day.
Government has not yet re-
piled but it is believed favorable
consideration will be given the
matter. -.
In the meantime, some white
influential persons in the islands
said that Garvey and Smith did
nothing to merit the recognition.
An English writer resident in Ja-
maica, said Garvey was an ego
tist interested but in his own
aggrandizement.
The issue touched off great
deal of controversy. Every Gar
veyi:e has been irked.
This aspect of the matter was
fair, but the local politicians who
wanted the national holiday to
commemorate these great Jamai-
cans, refused to contribute even
one dollar each to fund opened
by the city council to erect q
statute in Kingston in commem-
Grafton of Garvey.
The fund was suggested by
Kenneth George Hill two years
ago. To date it has reached only
about SIS; about $50 was given
by Hill himself.
The situation reflected an un-
interested attitude by local poll
ticians. Each member of the
House Of Representatives draws
about $1,000 annually. Each Min
lister draws about $4,000 annual
ly. They have given nothing to the
statue fund.

Seemingly everything is taking
a new fashion turn this season.
And your smartly gloved hands
will be on the right highway, too,
with all the rest. Not since the
New Look have I seen such high
styling.
Your new gloves will be mar
row and straight because it is
believed that bulky cuffs would
interfere with the many long
sleeved dresses and suits shown
for fall selling. In this way, they
will fall right in line with the
new costume silhouette.
Simplicity of cut therefore, is
the theme in most gloves, whether
shorties, eight button or shoulder
lengths. The shortie in particular
is style that acquires new prom
inence here in hand detailed ver-
sions of graceful elegance. Glace
kid is emphasized as highly sig
nificant to contrast fall costumes
in rough textured fabrics.
The consumer acceptance OF
fabric gloves has tended to over
shadow the importance OF feathers
glove manufacturers point out.
Retailers, it is said, have been apt
to overlook the promotiona1
angles of leather gloves. How
ever, because of the new fabric
trend it should be a very good
season for leather gloves as a
timely accessory.

added decoration through the use
of pearl and rhinestone accents in

BROWNSVILLE
HAS GALA
ANNIVERSARY

The Brownsville Improvement
Association was host to approx
imately 500 guests on the occas-
sion of its 14th Anniversary cele-
bration held recently in the cafe
torium of the Bethune Elemen-
tary school. The celebration was
three-fold in nature - a pro-
gram, banquet and dance. Mrs.
Cornelia L. Glenn of Dunbar
school served Of Mistress of Cere-
monies for the program; Mrs.
Viola Hill was chairman of the
banquet committee; and Samuel
Perry had charge of decorating of
the dance.
President Neal Adams in his
talk about the history and
achievements of the association
told of the discouragements and
hard work involved in carrying
out the five-point program
drawn up by the group in 1947: a
new Bethune Elementary school
with sufficient grounds; the paw
ing, repair, and construction OF
streets; the acquisition of land
for recreational facilities for
children; the securing of the ap-
pointment of deputies for the pro-
tection of life and property; the
drive for the registration of vot-
ers. The zeal of this young man
has given the driving power to
the organization.
Atty. John Johnson spoke elo-
quently on "Now is Your Hour"
He said in part that we must take
advantage of the opportunities
now offered in this fastest grow
ing and most liberal county in the
entire South. Every Negro who
enters into a new field determ-
ines whether or not others of his
race will be considered in the fu-
ture; likewise the Negro who does
a poor job closes the door Of op-
portunity to his fellows.
President Adams, treasurer
George RosSer, chairman Of the
board John McMinns and pio-
neer citizen, Mrs. Eta Amos were
presented with gifts as tokens Of
appreciation for long and devoted
service to the Association and to
the community.
Participants on the program
