Besides helping with the rugs, upholstery and mattresses—the new Electric Cleaner is valuable for getting the loose dirt irom aver the doors and hard-to-get-at corners. And those are the places that make houseclean* ing a drudgery—that are likely to be the cause of backaches and sore muscles such as you remember from other years. Make a change this year!

F .- day wear, the newest trick in millinery appears to be the tinv hat with plenty of color including p. colorful- veil that finds its way under the chin. Romrost in the minds of these women is fear of criticism by hus binjs, children, relations, and even their friends. They have an abnor mal fear of being “talked about.” If I were you I would turn this fear of criticism into « desire for praise. I'il tell them that the day of “Whistler Mothers” went out with the bonnet and the horse car. To<lay children and grand-children take pride in a mother who looks no more than her age and who is becomingly and naturally groomed to make her children and her hus band proud of her looks is the sec ret goal of evqry mother. The fashion argument its often as successful with alder women as with younger ones. Often they are more fashion conscious but are afraid to express it. They want to “grow old gracefully” and welcome the aid that this type of beauty ser vice gives. The comfort of short haid does not need to be angued. It is evident.

MOODY “Abusing the Spirituals”— The "Pittsburgh Courrier” many race leaders are crying aloud a gainst the irreverent ure of the N e gro Spirituals and Melodies The writer and one of our pastors were walking past a beer tavern in South Omaha on West “L” St., and as we did so we heard that anti cipation—“When the Saints Go Marching On.” Being played to swing tr.ne and these revellers were enjoying it. It appears that the present gen eiation of Negroes are soon for geting the price that our grand and great-grandfathers paid for freedom and the beauty and great iaith and hope that cornea forth in these f-p'rituals. The very words that we pray in cur “National Negro Anthem” arc being forgotten. We sing in tho last stanza “Lest our feet stray from the places our God where we met thee: Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the. world, we forget thee” Our parents who have gone on to be with their makers would very likely use the words of Longfel low’s “Father Felican: “What is thiu that ye do my children ? What madness hath seized you?” Our protest is weakned because many of the natrons to the abohn- ! inable taverns and dens, are pro- j teased Christians or "church mem 1 -rsf\ These are a disgrace to God and Christian fait hand church.
