FAIR LIMBS UNADORNED
A« in the days before the war. Paris
la taking on its old-time gayety. Al
ways a leader in fads and fancies,
Paris again strives to regain her pre
eminence. Our photo shows the latest
sensation on the Bois de Boulogne, a
French miss out for a stroll, her pretty
limbs utterly devoid of any suggestion
of hosiery.
POLKA-DOT DESIGN POPULAR
Has Risen to the Distinction of a
Fad Among Society Women at
the Nation's Capital.
Tlie polka dot in its various expres
sions, from the tiniest dot to the coin
dot. seems suddenly to have “broken
nut" in Washington. Never a gath
ering these days of any particular mo
ment thar the silken fock with Its
polka-dot design does not appear.
Miss Bertha Bolling sister of Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, wears a simple
frock of dark navy blue cotton voile
milrked In the tiniest of dots set very
thickly together. A one-piece effect,
the frock has a surplice bodice with a
tiny Inset vest of organdie and cuffs
ind collar also of organdie. The skirt
lias rather long swinging hip dra
peries.
A very smart frock of plain white
georgette combined with -miall polka
lot pattern In coral pink formed an
sttractlve frock the other evening at
in informal dinner at one of the sub
urban “inns" which have sprung up
like mushrooms during the past two
lea sons.
Mrs. Arthur Capper, wife of the
senator from Kansas, wears a cos
tume of navy blue georgette with
arge coin dots of white, the georgette
lraped over navy blue silk.
An attractive frock worn the othpr
ivenlng at a downtown cafe was of
ivhlte georgette, the tunic, the hell
ileeves and the long draped sash all
>f sapphire blue georgette coin dotted
n white, the dots widely separated.
The hat was a small toque of white
mtln, the brim a solid mass of black
netalllc grapes with black satin fo
lage.—From a Washington letter In
Women's Wear.
MUST HARMONIZE WITH HAT
Pina Are by No Means to Be Regard
ed as Nonessential Pact of
the Costume.
Hatpins are little things and almost
inessential except on windy days, but
put the wrong hatpin—even the llt
tlest, plainest one—Into a hat and the
whole effect Is spoiled, and the hatpin
Is proved, after all. to he of great Im
portance. So If one must wear hat
pins they should he chosen with the
greatest care.
Small, Inconspicuous gold hatpins
are attractive In a plain sailor hat of
light color, and guntnetal ones are
suitable for hats of dnrker hue. But
for summer hats In all their glory of
many eolors new and original hatpins
have been devised. These are of en
amel and represent flowers or butter
flies or fruits: some of them are small
and some are quite large, but their
chief charm lies In the fact that one
i-ari find hatpins to harmonize with
almost any hat trimming and thus
avoid a Jarring note. What could be
more charming than a little coral rose
nestling In the midst of the flowers on
a hat? Or a cloisonne leaf among
leaves?—New York Evening Sun.
TO WEAR WHEN TRAVELING
Frock of Dark Blue Taffeta Haa Many
Advantages That Are Worth
Remembering.
Do you expect to take a trip soon?
Then you will need for wear In the car
or on the train a frock of dark blue
silk, preferably taffeta. Oharmeuse Is
very lovely, but under hard wear it Is
apt to grow dull looking. Crepe meteor
Is cool and graceful, but It rumples
easily.
Crepe de chine has much to recom
mend It. but to he a really good qual
ity It must be rather heavy, and this
makes It warm. Taffeta crumples a
trifle. It Is true, but the soft weaves
are not had In this respect. You could
do no better ttian choose dark blue
taffeta.
Different vest may accompany this
gown, such as batiste, marquisette or
organdie. A very pretty vest Is made
of Madeira embroidery. This Is a new
Idea. A little batiste gulmpe may also
be worn with this gown.
■UNDIES” OF SOLID COLORS
Though at Flrat Thought They May
Seem Bizarre, Thev Are Really
Quite Practical.
Undergarments developed In black
and a great range of vivid colors seem
bizarre and rather absurd at first
glance, but when one considers that,
regardless of the season or occasion
for which they are Intended, outer
garments are now made of the most
transparent fabrics, the need of un
der things that match or blend with
them will be easily realized. Petti
coat combinations and separate cami
soles are shown for next season made
of black chlfTon and georgette com
blned with black lace, of all-over lace
in black or of either of the first named
fabrics trimmed with fine tucking,
drawn work. etc.
Emphasizing the tendency to match
undergarments with outPr apparel
chemises and combinations are now
being shown madp of brown georgette
and other sheer silks. Brown has al
ready been bulletined as a lending col
or for outer apparel for next season
and manufacturers of Items of lin
gerie have not been slow to follow
this lead.
Bloomers will continue to be In
great demand next season. It seems
certain, as narrow skirts and volu
minous petticoats are an Impossible
combination.
Crepe de chine nnd washable satin
are the two fabrics most used In the
development of undergarments for
fall and winter, and various laces,
dainty hand embroidery or Insets of
georgette are favorite trimming
touches.
Two-piece pajamas are very popu
lar, because they may serve either as
sleeping or lounging garments.
SOMETHING NEW IN APRONS
Young Woman With Ideas Telia How
She Adapted Glazed Chintz With
Remarkably Good Effect.
A young woman who very much ad
mired the bright glazed chintz which
formed the window shades, slipovers
and overeurtalns In a friend's home
was presented with a yard-long rem
nant to be used “for a pillow cover.”
But as the young woman In question
felt that glazed chintz would not make
especially phasing or comfortable
covers for down pillows she planned
another use for the gay patterned fab
rlc.
A rlrculHr apron pattern that eross
ed over In the hack and buttoned on
the shoulders was chosen. The chintz
was cut very carefully with straight
even edges and bound all the way
around with rose-eolored linen braid
Just the shade of the most prominent
flowers In the pattern. Rose-colored
pearl buttons finished the shoulders.
Beeanse of Its smooth finish this
apron did not become spoiled nearly
so qulekly as one of ordinary gingham,
but when It did require laundering
was treated to an extra amount of
starch and Ironed on the right side
While damp.
SIMPLE GARMENT FOR CHILD
“Gertrude" Petticoat Will Pleaae tha
Little Maid at Well at Her
Proud Mother.
The prettiest of undergarments for
children are the little "Gertrude" pet
ticoats, which slip over the head and
fasten with one small button on one
shoulder. Many of these have the
simplest of narrow frills at the bottom
and this Is edged with a fine crochet
lace or bit of Valenciennes. No other
trimming Is used on the little skirt.
Children, of course, will not remain
the same size and length, therefore
many mothers run a wide tuck Just
through the middle of the little one
piece petticoat, which can thus be
lengthened as required.
The wash fabrics which do not re
quire ironing, such ns cotton crepe and
kindred crinkled materials, are much
In demand for the small garments.
These are often made up In the fle-^Ji
pink, which always pleases little girls,
who are charmed bv colors.
IN RED AND BLUE
Red rote* with blue straw—what
more charming a combination could
be found for so smart a hat?
Knitted Gaiters.
Knitted gaiters made their appear
ance in Furls this past spring. White
wool, snugly knitted, answers the pur
pose of a spat on a low shoe, and ap
pears to good advantage. Mayhap
this Is a style that will And favor
here as the weeks pass. We are told
that shoes are going to bo higher In
prlee next autumn and leuther so
scarce that we may find It best to
wear low shoes and gutters. In that
case these well-knitted gaiters rnlgbt
be a really uaeful fad.
PRAISES \. A. A. r. P. «EETI>«
To the Editor of The Monitor:
I do not remember of ever having
attended a meeting that proved more
satisfactory to me as a whole than
I that of the N. A. A. C. P. at Grove
Methodist church on Sunday last. Ac
cording to my humble Judgment the
topics introduced for discussion com
prised a faultless list as respects their
- appropriateness to the occasion; and
the eloquem and energetic deliveries
of those who participated in the de
bates were well calculated to evoke
such enthusiastic demonstrations in
response as the audience gave.
I frankly confess the fact of my
conviction as to the absolute neces
sity of the maintenance of just such
an organization as this National As
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People. And I have equal con
fidence as to the primary importance
of the association as an agency for
the general uplift of the colored peo
ple here as in other partB of the coun
try. Although (lie local branch is of
quite recent establishment here, start
ihg out with a charter membership
of a mere handful, comparatively
speaking, its wonderful invigorating
influence in arousing interest and ac
celerating activity among tha* element
of the population for whose benefit, in
particular, it was founded, finds posi
tive demonstration in the fact mat
today its roll of membership is far ad
vanced toward the one thousand mark.
One notes with genuine satisfaction
the evident earnestness and readiness
of the .members, both masculine and
feminine to contribute their fair pro
portion of work and material to insure
the constant progress of the institution
toward its highest possible develop
ment for the dissemination of intel
lectual, moral and socral excellence In
the community.
1 am prohibited, for lack of time,
from taking proper notice of the sev
eral subjects which were ably dis
cussed at the above mentioned meet
ing. As has already been said, the
program of topics was without a fault
and it is hardly an exaggeration to say
that few-, if any sentences were uttered
during the debates that did not con
vey ideas well worth noting. Were
I called upon to cast a vote expres
sive of my opinion as to Ihe relative
qualities of the several addresses de
livered, 1 should, without hesitation,
favor Mrs. J. E. Smith's as the best.
Of course. I do not wish to he under
.stood as Shying that I would cast my
vote as an endorsement of this young
matron’s proposal to subsidize white
newspapers in behalf of our associa
tion so that we may use their columns
as a better avenue for the wide dis
tribution of matter of peculiar inter
est to the cause we seek to advance.
It is well, however, that the matter
lias been broached, and Mrs. Smith. In
her brief discussion of it, advanced
some, if not all of the strongest points
that could be offered on the wrong
side of the question. Our long time
friend. Judge M. F. Singleton, came
almighty close to getting himself In
bad with the whole crowd when he
said in substance, that the Negro race
must fail completely when It ceases
to depend upon whites for aid and pro
tection. It was extremely gratifying
to note the apparent unanimity of pro
test against such .sentiments. The ad
dress of Mr. Young in response to
the Judge was "a scorcher for true."
and was delivered with such fervor
and vehemence as elicited generous
applause.
It may be said in concluding this
confessedlj Imperfect article that the
fact was easily discernible that the
overwhelming preponderance of senti
meut and opinion in this meeting fa
vored the establishment and main
tenance of a daily newspaper here,
owned, edited and published—primar
ily at least— for and by colored peo
ple CYRUS D. BELL.
