[[/advertisement]] Fashion Flashes By Joy Jean "The proper dress at the proper time," is the guiding thought for Miss 1933. Nothing can take all of the pep out of a person and make one more self-conscious than the wrong dress at the wrong time. You have at one time worn formal clothes when every other woman in the house was dressed in ordinary clothes, "Gee! What a feeling!" The safest thing to do is to keep a well balanced wardrobe (a subject to be fully discussed at a later date). The average woman can afford only one or two formals or dressy dresses at one time. You must train yourself to be very careful when purchasing a new dress. Don't let princess lines, flowing languorous skirts, brilliant rhinestones, huge bows, demure sashes, ruffles and all of the frills that come with non-practical clothes, tempt you. Remember your dress tells your fortune. A refined, cultured woman's clothes differ greatly from those of the opposite type. Women who would like to always appear well groomed must stick to practical clothes. Fussy clothes, like skin-deep beauty, soon pass into the background. Reading the News with Uncle Hank Cordin' to what I see in thu' papers Congress ain't doin' much these days but sayin' "Yes" to whativer th' President sez. Wall, if they's got no minds o' thair own why not go back home to farmin' er somethin' an' kick back thair salarys seein' as how thu' goverinment's broke. More'n a hundred senators an' four hundred an' thuty-five representativs at eroun $10,000 apiece is a heck of a lot o' money jes to hev then fellers walk in ever so often an' say "O. K." Sieges and Fortunes of Distinguished Negroes (Continued from page 31) ter from this distinguished Negro scientist, when he (Jefferson) was United States Secretary of State: Philadelphia, August 31, 1791. Sir: I thank you sincerely for your letter of the 19th instant and for the almanac it contained. Nobody wishes more than I do to see such proofs as you exhibit that nature has given to our black brethren talents equal to those of the other colors of men and that that appearance of a want of them is owing only to the degraded condition of their existence both in Africa and America. I can add with truth, that no one wishes more ardently to see a good system commenced for raising the conditions, both of their body and mind to what it ought to be, as fast as the imbecility of their present existence, and other circumstances which cannot be neglected, will admit. I have taken the liberty of sending your almanac to Monsieur de Condorcet, Secretary of the Academy of Science at Paris, and members of the Philanthropic Society, because I considered it a document to which your color had a right, for their justification against the doubts which have been entertained of them. I am, with great esteem, Sir, Your most obedient servant, Thomas Jefferson. Banneker lived to a ripe age - seventy-five years - and died from an apparent cold, contracted while enjoying an autumnal walk, one Sunday afternoon of 1804. His astronomical books and instruments he willed to his old friend, Mr. George Ellicott. He was never smitten by Cupid's arrow. Concluding, it will be seen that in each of the above two instance of intellectual distinctions, the characters portrayed have received the encomiums of exalted personages of the Nation. This fact emphasizes the dignity of the recognition that has been accorded the Negro hitherto. The Negro has always been appreciated, not by persons with constricted minds, but by those who are capable of discerning the essential greatness of "great souls." THE END. Editor's note. - The next installment will delineate the careers of Frederick Douglass, Toussaint L'Ouverture and Ernest Everett Just.
