Such punctilious selectivity

available to all women-re-

the tradition of elegance that
all really fashionable women
have sought to achieve "a
tradition that every woman

vanced that no frame

true elegance than artis-

What Is Elegance?
Not Fad or Fancy

ness the opposite of ele-
gance.
When I think of true ele-
gance, I recall the magnifi-
cent portraits of fashionable
women who posed for the
great artists of their day.
When one studies these por-
traits-not so much from an
artistic viewpoint, but with
an appreciative understand
ing of fashions history-one
realizes that these elegant
ladies summed overly opulent
costumes.
Frequently, they posed in
costumes of classic simplic-
ity, with perhaps one or two

did more than any COM

do to suggest a total effect

BY SCHIAPARELLI
Guest Fashion Columnist

Never before have I heard
the word elegance so often
pronounced. Wherever one
speaks of fashion-in the de-
signers' studios, in the mag
azines devoted to, haute cou-
ture, in the newspapers. in
the shops and salons them
selves, the word elegance
continually intersperses all
discussions.
To me. the emphasis on
this most feminine of quail
ties is most pleasing. for I
have always believed-and
often stated-that fadS and
fancies may come and go
but the great beauties
who have been most noted
and longest remembered
have always radiated that
subtle aura of elegance that
distinguishes the true wom-
an of fashion.
Yet cannot help but ex-
perience a certain apprehen-
sion that. as happens each
time a new fashion emphasis
emerges, this quality Of ele-
gance will become so over
emphasized, it will lose its
true character.

James P. Newell, Pennsy vice

the reason for slow resumption
of service this way:
During the period preceding
operation of regular trains,
test runs will be made to clean

sary to guarantee proper func-
tioning of electrical cicuits in

The strike began on a bitter
note, with both sides blaming
the other for its start. Shortly
afer pickets marched around
Pennsy property. Mr.. Quill ac-
cused Secretary of Labor James
P. Mitchell of telling lies about
the union demands. He said
Mr.. Mitchell was throwing the
weight of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration against the
strikers.
Mr.. Mitchell had said Mr..
Quill was unreasonable in his
dispute with the railroad and
disregardful of the public's well
fare.
The dispute had been heard
by an impartial arbitrator and
a special act-finding board ap-
pointed by President Eisen-
hover. The railroad had
agreed to settle on the recon-
mendations of both these

7:25. For more than a week
these passengers have relied on
car pools, buses and other
means of daily transportation.
The first Washington-New
York train leaves Union Sta
ton at 2 am. After that, the
road will operate on its Gus
tomary schedules between the
two points, with Philadelphia
the principal intermediary stop.
Terminal Employees Back
End of the strike was good
news for railroad and allied
workers in the Washington
and Richmond areas. In addi-
ton to hundreds of strikers,
nearly 1000 furloughed by the
Washington Terminal Co.,
which operates Union Station,
Southern railroads and the
Potomac Yards will resume
employment.
Equally elated were industries
hard hit by loss of freight serv-
ice. The Eastern Shore, which
depends heavily on the Penn
sylvania for its vast poultry and
sea food industries could breathe
a sigh of relief. The situation
there was becoming critical.
Also benefiting was the mail
service. slowed both to the
North and South through loss
of mail cars. The Washington
Post ONCE had put a feet of
trucks in motion to New York,
but much of the mail was ar
irving a day late.

between New York, Miami and
New Orleans will be resumed
starting Wednesday morning.

Coast Line and trains to the
South had been Cancelled or

Union Station began calling

been chopped in half.

The railroad. too, was pro-

New Workers had their reasons
for flocking to THE Clansman"
for a topic of highly emotional
discussion at the time was what
white residents called Negro in
vasion" of the city.
In the decade preceding the turn
of the century, the Negro popula-
ton had increased more than so
per cent, rising from 42,S16 to
65,S94-and each train and steam
err brought more Negroes, many
ragged and bedraggled, blessed
only with muscle and hope, all of
them fleeing the peOnage of the
rural South.
These Negro migrants, woefully
unprepared as they were to cope
with complex urban life, were
viewed as the white mans burden,
and Dixon's "The Clansman"
served to convince many whites
that there was a satanic magnitude
to that burden.

germ has no respect for color, or
coming. Health and welfare serv-

And the League believes a united

But what do the nations enem-

driven from college, when minori-

citizens are relegated to mental

say America does not practice
what it breaches.

they saw the Urban League at
