THE LAST DAY OF

THE LAST DAY OF The
OLD WORLD by Adrian
Ball. Illus, 278 PIP. (Dou-
bleday & Co., $4.95)
Whether the "Old World"
really ended on that day in
1889 when Britain and
France went to war against
Germany is not of much
moment. One might argue
that it lasted until the first
atomic device was exploded
or for that matter until the
day that Richard Strauss
put down his pen having
finished the last and finest
monument to the 10Th CEN
fury. his -Four Last Songs"
Actually, of course, ages
overlap, and when, years
after the events, historians
settle on Cor argue about
more or less conventional
dividing lines, no one seeks
to read more meaning into
those lines than they really
possess.
Mr.. Balls title is not to
be taken seriously. It is a
good, rouSing, commercial
title, and it supplies a JUS
tification for a portentous
dust jacket.
THE Day That :" sort
of book has become a
convention. Read all about
it! Read everything that hap
pened on such and such a
day. We seem to have become
ata-starved. There are fields
in which 1t is possible to
make a career of the accu-
mutation of raw data I'M
styled by the intervention
of the human mind.
Much Untold
Be that as it may, we have
here a book that tells us a
good deal about the comings
and goings. hopes and anxi-
cites, Of September 3, 1899.
Much Of the story leading up
to the Anglo-French declara-
ton Of war on Nazi Germany
was in the newspapers for
that and the following day.
Much more, of course, was
not. Many events could be re-
constructed only years later
on the basis of memoirs writ
ten after the fact, diaries
written during the crucial
hours, and official documents
that have been gradually re-
leased. In that connection,
Mr.. Ball might have men,
toned that many Of those
documents are still secret, for
the British government does
not open archives until SO
years after the events they
concern.
Much OF the contents OF
THE Last Day Of the Old
World" will be familiar to
those who had attained the
age Of reason by 1889. But
for those who are younger
and 1t is we'll to remember
that the college class of '63
had not yet been born in
l939-the book is a singular
opportunity to grasp the is
sues and feelings of that day

Lawrence Critics

David Lawrence postulated
that the apparent orderly
behavior of Negroes at the
recent freedom march was
due to the wisdom of the
white man, who was always
in the background. OF course,
violence is a white preserve
for the maintenance of peace
and civilization on earth and
hence it is wantonnesS in the
Negro to inappropriate it
for the selfish end of liberty.
It may be edifying for Mr..
Lawrence to re-read the
words of the great prophet,
Christ: Thou hypocrite,
first cast out the beam out
of thine own eye; and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast
the mote out of thy brothers
eye"
Who gained empires by
violence? The white man.
Who invented and perfected
the atom bomb for mass de-
struction? The white man.
Who plunged the world into
two catastrophe wars? The
white man. If violence is a
measure of mobilization,
then, the white man is the
most consistent barbarian
who ever trod the earth.
Had this columnist been a
little bit analytical, the con-
gruency between a people
struggling for a right to exist
and the determination of
Uncle Sam to fight to de-
fend "our way of life," could
not have eluded him.

David Lawrence in his COL
umn about Abraham Lin
coin not so cleverly disregard
ed the fact that Lincoln's
feelings and words were over
100 years old. 1t is logical that
Mr.. Lincoln could not con-
ceive of people who were still
illiterate slaves sitting at the
dinner table with him. I am
certain that he would have
found the atom bomb, the
airplane. the astronaut, etc.
just as unthinkable.
Since Lincoln's time there
have been extensive studies
in anthropology to disprove
the Negroes inherent inferior
ity. We have also known
Ralph Bunche, James Bald
win. Robert Weaver and
many Negro John Does who
work as trash men, carpen-
tiers, electricians, statesmen,
teachers, librarians and COL
lege professors. Mr.. Lincoln
could not know these peo-
pie, but Mr.. Lawrence does.
Katherine Strobe
David Lawrence's article
"Integration and Intermar-
.riage" states THE fears OF
many white people were
confirmed by the news that
the first Negro girl has
disclosed her marriage TO a
white Southerner. ."
have never yet read that
anyone puts a gun in the
back of the white man or

Black Not
Always 1t

Many women wear black
under the impression that
you can't 60 wrong with 1t.
Not so, say designers, who
have seen many a black dress
ruined by wrong accessoriz-
ing.
Luis Estevez is a specialist
in sleek black crepe after
five dresses with great shape
and an accent of drama. He
fuses like mad over what
his models viii wear with
them.
Jewelry is kept to a mini
mum, placed where 1t will do
each dress the most good. On
one it will be a dramatic pin,
on another q rope necklace.
with another Cutlery ear
rings. Just one piece and q
sumner.
Shoes are always plain,
tapered silk pumps. some
times with a bit Of cut-out
if the dress lines are very
delicate.
At most high fashion
houses, hair is treated as an
accessory. If a black dress is
glittery such as all-over
sequins, the models hair is
short, sleek and simple. No
upswept hairdos until the
really dressy black crepes
come out.
Watch trims on black
dresses. II there are bows.
then don't add q hair bow.
Embroidery. especially Of the
glitter type, means keep what
jewelry is worn away from
that area.
Perhaps the biggest mis-
take, however, that women
make with black. Is to wear
1t for safety instead of be-
comingness. Black is q diff
ficult color TO wear, since 1t
absorbs light, frequently
makes the wearer look older.
For day, 1t needs a bright
neckline touch and a colorful
hat to keep it away from the
face,
Since it has no color at
traction, black also needs
stronger styling than colors
do. A black shirtwaist dress
is q nothing. Black needs
shape, drama. to overcome
Its lack Of color attraction.
