Your daughter will certainly have a difficult time this season
choosing her plaids. From the tiny checks to the rich-colored clan
plaids there is a wonderful selection in the shops this season to allow
anyone to build a complete wardrobe around them. Simply add a sol.
id color dress to a plaid coat, a ^hiite blouse to a jumper and so many
changes can be added to a young maid’s wardrobe.
The plaid reversible pictured albove has a matching hood and is
lined throughout with gaberdine. It has a slide fastener fly front
closing so much in, demand. The model with the jumper on is a
smart gingham, so capable of outlasting many clean blouses.
For the tiny tots these cunning little ginghams are sturdy and,
above all, very tubbable. The one with the bolero has a pleated skirt
and an adorable pair of suspenders. Some of them now have a mat
ching school bag, so dear to the heart of the first beginner.

One of our first considerations when dressing up is a new
hat. Of course it must be black velvet.
On the upper left si a stunning creation called a pompa
dour hat. The brim is stiffened, framing the face and ties dp- (
murely under the chin with a wisp of veiling. I
Alor»T) side of it is a new draped crown with a visor which
you wear tipped forward over one eye. This hat needs no trim
ming but a self material bow at the side-back and being in itself
very plain would allow for a quite fancy afternoon frock and lots
of costume jewelry.
If one is on the small, petit side( th|s new version of the
turban, lower left, will add height and plenty of dash. It can be
vftorn well back of the head or if one wears an upswing hair-do
this turban is equally fetching.
Last but not least is the off the face model sketched at
the lower right. This style will be well worn this fall and the
quill and pompom at the front can be had to match one’s full
ensemble. _

REV. GARNETT SPEAKS—
Rev. Willianf Garnett of New
York City, N. Y. just dropped in
Omaha for a few days and spoke
briefly on the subject “Who is to
blame for the suffering of the Col
ored people. He said as he spoke
before the Low Wage Organizat
ion, that the failure lies in the min
isters of today. If the ministers
alliance would cooperate together
they could open up the biggest
grocery store on 24th street and
sell as low as the other fellow.
Just $25 from each chur?h in
shares would do the job. Just
think of it—10c a person would
epen up a big store here if the
ministers alliance could teach the
people to get! together in unity.
The Low Wage and Unemploy
ment Workers take up all differ
ent kind of cases. The Colored
people should support this organi
zation. Meeting every Tuesday
6 to 8 p .m. during the cold wea
ther instead of Monday.
Here is one of our cases which
we have on hand:—
Omaha, Nebraska,
Dec. 16th, 1940
Case: Mr. Jesse White,
2808 North 26th Street,
Identif action 696f74( Social
Security 507181216.
To Miss McDirmid:
Omaha, Nebraska,
Dear Madam: I hereby notify
you that this said party is in dire
need for coal and rent, although he
works out of the county assistance
office two days a week and receiv
es in stamps $24.00 a month.
Therefore it handicaps him from
doing odd jobs. He has a family
of four, for whom he is entitled to
$38.15 cash money without the
stamps. In other words this man
should be working on the WPA.
The Low Wage and Unemployed
Workers have already investigated
this case. First emergency need
ed is coal. Please look into this
matter at once.
very respectfully yours,
Virgil Bailey, Pres., Grant Par
ker Sec-, Rev. A. Thomas, and the
»
Rev. Wm. Barnett co-workers.

the Low Wage and Unemployed
T/orkeijg Organization was born
beside the 10th street viaduct on

count the population of Colored
people living out north here on
your fingers. He has a sister

in 1&38. Devoted to civic, comm
ercial and industrial problems that

ing of the Colored People on some
of the settlers from the south who
think that they can do anything
they please reports Bailey.
VERSIE’S
BEAUTY SCHOOL
NOTES
The students are planning an
Xmas party at the beauty school.
They will exchange gifts as usual.
I WONDER—
Why a certain gentleman goes
to a lunch room and plays that
very popular song hit “So Long”
Could it be that he has refused to
be “Shorty” to one of the student9
any longer.
Why Lula’s Boy friend gets a
manicure from another student in
stead of from her.
W'hy Alberta’s friend gave her
a cook book. (Such a lovely one
at that1 I «uess he got tired of
having to take baking soda after
each meal. He eats at her home.
Wlhy the teacher looks so sad at
times of late. Is it because her
friends keep talking of taking
that trip to Des Moines. I sup
pose she will be lonesome while
he is away.
This is your Cub Reporter sign
ing off, and W'ishing All Our Pa
trons andF riends A Merry
Christmas and a Very Happy New
Year!
