Accent On Fashion
BY 10 ANN COLEMAN

As large cities go, that part
of Boston which could be called
Brown Boston, lis not very
fashion coEciou1 That is, those
fashions which are now very
stylish for colored Americans in
cities such as New York, Phi
ladelphia and washington
would provoke wide controversy
If attempted here. BostonianS
seem to be content in dressing
basically the same way they
have been dressing and do not
catch on to new style until
it reaches the punt where it
is no longer stylish in other
large cities. In this respect,
Boston could he considered a
"hick town.
As a result Of this condition,
it has been exceedingly diff
cult in the pds0, as it is now,
to promote any type of new
fashion idea IN this city. It
seems that it would be even
more of a problem to initiate
any kind of an organization
that would deal exclusively in
fashion, because obviously there
would be a lack Of interest on
the part of the general public.
Up until Ghree years ago the
Inauguration of any such or
ganization was considered a
waste of time.
Despite this obvious handicap,
IA young ladies led by the
energetic EDNA M. MORGAN
joined their fashion knowledge
and founded the professional
DreSsmakers and Designers
Guild. Their first meeting was
held on February 26, 1851, and
Mrs. Morgan was elected pre-
sident the Office which she
still holds. It was decided that

order and they proceeded to
give a fashion show and tea for
That purpose. the AFFAIR was
such a success that they plan
ned a bigger and better fashion
show for the following year.
In 1852 they presented their
first big original fashion show
to a capacity crowd at New
England Mutual Hall. This vas
without a doubt a tremendous
job for any group, regardless
Of size or influence, in a city
which. admittedly, is not fashion
concious; 4 JOB which most peo-
pie had felt VIRTUALLY impos-
sible. Il was truly remarkable
accomplishment for a COM
paritively new group of only
IA members.
Each year the show is &C
tually bigger and better Last
year Breezy Meadows Camp
received proceeds from the af-
fair; this year the Harriet Tub
man House and the Riddle
Ramp of SharCn, Mass. will be
the recipients of the Guilds
generosity.
In previous years Mrs. Nor
gan served as chairman Of the
show. The success of these shows
is indeed a tribute to her
splendid leadership. This year
Mrs. Morgan, in the true tradi-
ton of a good leader, is turn
ed the craftsmanship over to
Mrs. Daisy Marshall, in an effort
to obtain new ideas and produce
a better snow.
Mrs. Marshall promises the
best show -or 81 She has de
monstrated her leadership on
many an occasion and the net
result should be a show that
as in past years, will be la
belled bigger and better than

. Mushroom Clam Bisque

-. MushFoom-Clam Bisque
To satisfy a hungry family, let a
creamy rich bisque be the main-stay
for lunch o. dinner.
"Bisque" was originally the term
to describe a thick soup made with
shellhsh, game, or fowl. Now we
think of bisque as any thick,
hearty cream soup. Whether you
call it bisque, chowder, or soup, it
can be prepared with an unlimited
variety of food combinations. Add
ing chopped or sieved vegetables,
or seafood, meat or fowl to a thin
cream sauce makes good eating
either as an appetizer or as main
dish.
The subtle flavor of the mush-
room and clam combination in the
recipe given below will be a well
come change from the more usual
soups. Crusty salt sticks, plain or
with caraway seeds, are an unusual,
crisp accompaniment for Mush-
room-Clam Bisque.
