cut off and bound with ribbon
or dress fabric.
Trim for sweaters may in
clude embroidered, velvet, or
grosgrain ribbons, braids, firing
es. edgings, and rickrack. You
may wish to use lace, or make
bands of simple applique de-
signs from the dress fabric. But
remember, simplicity is the key
to a smart. fashionable costume.
Keep the use of the sweater
in mind, advises Mrs. Smith.
For sports or casual occasions,
use grosgrain ribbon or simple
.appliques; for dressy occasions,
trim with lace, embroidered rib
bon or beads.
Preshrink any trimmings that
will go on a washable sweater,
then sew trimmings on the
sweater with small hand stitch
es. Use thread that matches the
sweater. If the trimming is
heavy, you may need to put net
backing on the inside of the
sweater, or line it with a very
lightweight fabric, such as
China silk, or a rayon and silk
sheath lining.

to the town of Blackbird, then
going northward along the State

Some sixty of seventy Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolu-
tion, representing the five Chap
ters of Delaware, are holding
an enjoyable meeting at Bel
mont Hall today, guests of Mrs.
Peterson-Speakman. Incidentally
it is Flag Day" and Belmont,
rich in its historical grandeur,
is the scene of a representative
gathering of Delaware Daugh-
tiers to celebrate the event. Miss
Anna Cunningham, the new
State regent, presided at the
session. A noteworthy event
was the unveiling of the pretty
bronze tablet to the sentinel
who was killed in the watch
tower in l777. The blood stains
of this shooting can still be
seen on the stairs. The unveil-
ing was impressively done by
Mrs. Peterson-Speakman who
read an interesting sketch of
Belmont in the days of the Rev
olution. The old mansion, as
often retold was the headquar-
ters of the patriots and of Gov
ernor Collins, brigadier general
of the militia in l777. The pret-
ty bronze tablet, about 2xl Y
feet was erected in the hallway
and is work of art.

Dear Sir:
Over The many years this writer
has enjoyed visiting his second
home (some insist that it is his
frst), ne has never been more dis
mayed than by having read five
paragraphs Of the March 18th is
sue under The Lighthouse" re-
ferring to prejudices being brought
to st. Croix. Unless I am more
l-a-ye than | think possible, | have
not encountered a proved in
stance. The, such widely separat-
ed episodes allegedly occurred
better than ten years ago, but they
were in The remote past and were
singularly mild and quickly cor
rected by those of us who enjoy
$500 Uu nG4slI~Or, regard
less Of race, religion and financial
means. I stand with President
Kennedy and know that this is a
'showplace of democracy"
s
i think we are too quick, oft
and again, to use the color line as
the basis for a disappointment. In
my own case, not over six months
ago, / put down a 1879 deposit on
a piece Of land and was rejected
when this down payment was re-
turned with no reason given. It so
happens that ! am not a man of
color. But had this humiliation
been experienced by one who was,
VINO might have written the five
paragraphs, / feel that the cry of
prejudice would have been heard.
That certain retail shops (not
named by the five paragraphs
anonymous author) allegedly make
njrrle use OF people Of color does
not necessarily imply discrimina-
ton. It could be that local per-
sonnet is not trained to know the
products sold as well as those
with whom the products are
familiar. Personally, / know no
shop where deliberate effort is
made to raise the coIor-Iine.
Some years ago, when TIL
HENCE was in operation, we en-
ployed almost 1000 local help
land not only as yardmen and
porters, which everyone. here
knows. We took the trouble to
train native people of colored
blood to learn their chosen trade,
and, the many of them employed
today all over the Island as well
as in st. Thomas and in Puerto
Rico proves that they must have
learned well.
In our second year, we found it
vital to our business to import a
Connecticut bartender because
there was not one here qualified
to handle our increased business
since those able had obtained
other jobs. No one criticised.
