fact that D. C. school chill

and that the D. C. Board of
Education has a strict
rule against the use
Of corporal punishment
which is initiating SER
iously against the teach

steps and got legislation

Representatives which is
designed to remove these

Everythine's Coming
Up Floral Fabric

The clever use of a few yards of
fabric can work wonders with your
decorating dollars. Today's versa
tile fabrics are found everywhere
in the home. Processed for dura-
bility and easy care, they cover
walls and ceilings, trim furniture
and lamps or drape to simulate
architectural effects.
If you're starting from scratch,
redoing for spring or just need a
small change, the Home Furnish
ings Industry Committee suggests
you take a fresh look at the cur
rent fabric market.
Everything's coming up roses
and daisies and florals of every de-
scription. Realistic, traditional and
stylized versions are available in
the most plush damasks and silks
as we'll as the sturdiest man-made
fibers.
Designs range from the prim n
prissy to the bold and splashy. As
with all of the new fabrics, the
color spectrum is all-inclusive
Notably popular are various shades
of reds, oranges, rich earth tones
burnt colds and greens of every
variety.
Leather has been greatly i'm
proved by modern techniques and
lab research and is now enjoying a
lot Of attention. Widely used on
table tops, as inlays and in COM
bination with woods, it has received
many unusual treatments by man.
ufacturers this year.
Smooth vinyls are seen in a num-
ber of textures, from deep tweed
effects to pearlescent basketweave
matelasses. The look, and almost
the feel Of fabric is captured in
embossed and printed designs.
Plaids and strips are always
with us, and they are currently
popular with many bright anC
fresh treatments. Ticking, WOO
and velvet are also widely useC
with the latter often seen as ar
accent fabric.
Many of the new man-made fab,
RIGS offer the bonus qualities Of
endurance and ease of care. Otter
they resist anything - dirt, fire

Don't throw those Christmas
cards awayi With a pair of Scis-
Sors and little ingenuity, you can
turn those old cards into attrac-
tive name-tags for next years
Christmas presents.
Simply cut small rectangular
sections of the card so that the
front of the name-tag will have
q design and the inside will be
blank. II you try different angles
of cutting, you can make four or
FIVE tags from each eolorful
Christmas card. For an extra
fair, cut out the tags with pink
ing shears.
Once you have your tags cut
out, punch a small hole near the
fold and add a short length of COL
ored string or ribbon. OF course,
you can save even more by Salvag-
ing the ribbon from last years
Christmas packages.
If you received packages
wrapped in tissue paper, use this
to wrap the tree decorations in
before you store them away. The
tissue will help prevent breskage.

RldInOurOuS negro WOmeIl, lIlClu
song stylist and exponent Of "au
naturelle."
A recent revue here of the new
but not really new-hair style
has evoked controversy, particular
ly among some professional models
who while finding the style at
tractive feel that it wouldn't work
for most models. This view, Of
course, remains debatable since
many Negroes, men and women,
are drawing closer to their African
heritage.
The extravaganza here, which
was seen by $500 in New York
and 500 in Detroit, is an example
of the trend. The show, also a
fashion revue, gave indication that
the impressed hair style may be
coming into its own. A crowd of
300 attended the Chicago presenta-
ton at Roberts Show club, a Ne
gro-owned nitery. Oddly enough,
no white women were present for
the showing.
Touring the United States, the
revue displays fashions of Africa
that have been an influence in the
Western fashion world. It stars
Miss Lincoln and was produced by
its originators, the African Jazz
Art Society, Inc, a group of young
New York artists, photographers,
actors and models who feel that
more racial pride in Negroes Is
necessary for racial unity and pro-
gress.
According to Cecil Braithwaite,
director, the show Naturally
'63" - is designed to dignity the
Negro image and present racial
standards which promote dignity,
class and pride.
One Of the surprising aspects of
the show is that it presents var
iety of "au naturelle" coiffures
that many fashion-conscious wom-
en- did not know existed.
THE presentation could open a
lucrative new market for Negro
beauicians because of the wide
variety of styles and the increas-
ing race pride being reclaimed by
many of our people," Braithwaite
said.
However, Alma Pryor, profess
sional model, said: II think the
styles are beautiful, and there are
some women who can wear them.
The women who wear these styles
may like the native hairdos, but
in my line of work it is doubtful
If they would be acceptable"
Miss Pryor, who was crowned
Miss Sepia" in a Bettye Lghtsey
fashion show, was winner of a
large wardrobe and trip to Paris,
in 1861.
Mrs. Bessie Bridey, office man.
ager for the Leon Motts realty
company, said, II think the styles
are beautiful, too, and the Peplum
which was displayed has been ac-
cepted and worn here several years
ago. But I believe it will be quite
some time before the American Ne
gro women in general will accept
the natural hair styles"

expert, who wishes to remain an
onymous, exclaimed: IT'S horri-

Ia Russell, a Negro woman who
! said she Is former employe Of the

Opening lead: King Of spades.
West considered bidding five
spades. The auction sounded
as though he would get out
for q very small loss and the
honors would reduce the loss.
In fact, West would have lost
two diamonds and two clubs
and the damage would have
been only 200 points.
West decided not to sacrifice
when he took q second look at
South. If there was o conven-
lent way to bungle the hand
South would find that way.
And so 1t turned out.
Declarer ruffed the first
spade in dummy, drew three
rounds Of trumpS and then led
the jack Of diamonds for a
finesse. If the finesse had
worked, South would have won
IL tricks.
FinesSe Loses
AS 1t turned out, the dia-
mond finesse lost. There were
no more tr1mps In the dummy,
so the defenders could take two
spades and the ace Of hearts.
They collected 100 points in
stead of paying out 200.
A better declarer would make
the contract. After ruffing the
opening lead in dummy, de-
clarer should return dummy's
10 of diamonds.
East can take the queen of
diamonds but dummy still has
a trump to stop the spades.
Even If East returns q spade
to force out dummy's last
trump South can get to his
hand with the jack of diamonds
to draw trumps and then the
rest of the diamonds will be
good. NO other defense can give
South any trouble.
West couldn't tell during the
auction that South would have
this type Of problem during
the play. 1t was enough for
West to remember that South
was a poor player who would
surely fail to solve q real prob
lem and might even invent a
problem If none existed.
Daily Question
As dealer, you hold:
AAKQJ43 yes OTIS &652
What do you sayp
Answer: Bid one spade. You
have only 10 points In high
cards, plus two points for dis
tribution, but 1t would be fool
ish to pass with six solid tricks
IN the highest ranking suit.

a witty and irreverent man, but
his lecture consisted Of a few
explanatory notes before each
piece on the program, and the
irreverence Of the notes never
carried over into the per-
Torrance.
The major work Of the after
noon was the Beethoven sonata
in c, the third Of Opus 2. II
was brilliantly set forth on the
keyboard, with outer move
ments that had genuine bravura,
a fact that bore out his remarks
beforehand that Beethoven as a
pianist was the lion Of Vienna
when the sonata was written.
The Scarlatti sonatas and the
Bach suite were clean, we'll
detailed work.
After an intermission the list
proceeded to Chopin, Ravel,
Schoenberg and List, with a
little Scriabin prelude omitted
to save time.
Mr.. LoeSser's remarks about
the Chopin and Ravel pieces
were entertaining and instruc-
tive, but Schoenberg led him
into some questionable mu-
sicology.
