R IV* ■m n Whether worn for warmth or not, a light boa or ruche la now required with every (own, no matter how ilmple.or how elaborate It may be. The over se vere lines of a plain tailor costume are relieved In an attractive manner by a •oft ruche at the throat, while with a handsome reception (own a largo "nut ty" boa, thrown lightly over the shoul ders, gives Just tbe necessary finishing tourh. There Is no limit to the styles of boas end ruchlngs now In vogue, end also ruehes of all shades, light and dark, ere In fashion. For a light- gown, a •tiff tnallne ruche the shade of the dress is effective. Of course, this ruche may i>e of almost any material, chif fon, silk or net, but mallne Is least ex pensive, but at the same time most perishable. If one Is of an eocnomlcal turn of mind, wide ruchlng can be bought by the yard, five-eighths being "uffletent for a boa. then the ribbon streamers can be added as long-and as full r» desired. Satin, velvet and taf feta ribbon are all uaed, but for mourn ing taffeta Is most appropriate. The streamers should be caught In little loops and knots all the length of the ribbon. From- a half to three-eighth ribbon. From a half to three-quarters of a yard Is generally long enough, al though sometimes the full yard Is Preferred. Ruchlng by the yard Is to or had In nearly all the shades In which the finished boas are to be found. a black boa can be worn with any gown, so that It Is worth while to get rather an expensive one. Net, for ex- amide, |s twice as serviceable as tin- tlm. which loses Its stiffness on the first damp day. Black chiffon needs to be trimmed a good deal with ribbon or ,-atln If not Intended for mourning, but the elaborate chiffon boas are many, of them moat effective. Bilk and chif fon combined will also make a hand- 'ome ruche. Chiffon or net, edged with narrow Valenciennes, Is light and looks very smart with a tbtn silk gown. Black and white ruche ts almost as ■r-vIceaWe as ah black, for there are Very few shades with which black and white cannot be worn. White chlf- • t. edged with black lace, la attrac tive or an edging of velvet or aatln ribbon may also be employed. All blar k streamers or half black and half w hite are either of them correct. It Is ruber the fad Just at present to have » brown net , cache pelgne. In a hat of any shade, and In the same way brown net ruches are being worn with all '•f'et costumes. With a touch of brown In the hat, a boa of the same brown [f uulte smart. Many of the lighter bare art filled in under the brim with ‘ 'Tee colored tulle. When this Is used instead of brown, a' ruche of lighter Mode may also be worn. in view of the many boas of exceed ingly llgbt.and delicate abodes that are r - offered Tor sale ruches will he »«im aj| during th<- summer. There Is ■ teral||» n o warmth In the ruchlng, but h i a. afford considerable style to the 1 i.o*. for e.i.ii.oei the Ir.ti are made principally of net or lace, as ma- llne losea Its'pristine freshness at the seashore or even Inland If there Is any humidity In.the air. White net with large black or colored chenille dots makes an attractive summer ruche, as do all the boas In pale, cool shades. White or straw color can be worn with any gown, but the plnka nnd blues to be fqunri In tones to match uny f rown nro surely Irresistibly fasclnat- ng. USE ONE EYEGLASS ONLY.

Broad Bt., Prudential building. •— Firstly,, let me any that, the Incor porators of this association are mostly educators, people who have studied ed ucational conditions not from one standpoint, hut from many standpoints, not In one state, but In many states; people whose Judgment not only con vinced them of the necessity .of an or- ganlitd effort to better educational conditions In the mountain and rural districts of the South, but people whose earnest efforts and endeavors are a proof of the sincerity of their desire to do to. Notably among our Incorporators are Dr. W. L. Davidson, the well-known president of the Chau tauqua Association; Professor W. M. Hays, assistant secretary of' agricul ture, a teacher and writer of broad ex parlance; Profesaor W. J.. Spillman, commissioner of diversified farming, deportment of agriculture, whose lec tures on agricultural development are an education In themselves, having lectured myself (not only on the "tra ditions of folk lore* of the Southland) for many of the state universities, schools, colleges, ehnutnuquas, chap- ters of the IT. D. C, etc, etc., through out this country and In England and Canada, but for hoard of education on historical and attention waa necessarily drawn to tht ttlfferenee In the educational advant ages of our Southern people, and of those In other sections of our country. ’ anti in xsngtano ana juany years for, the •n of N«w r York’city d other subjects, my ’ "That bride and groom made per fect spectacles of themselves on their wedding trip," "No wonder everybody saw through them.”—Cleveland Leader. In faet, so detply have I been Im pressed with the vital need of uplift ing our Impoverished whites amt of a greater effort being made to educate them, practically and Industrially, that for years I have been taking advantage of the opportunities afforded me on the platform to speak for the cause and In. many Instances have appealed to chapters of the Daughters of the Con federacy to take up this work, being a Daughter myse|f and knowing that th* second article ofJtortkAfjfeBMBMH ’ the U. D. C, constitu tion Included "educational” work along with their ‘'historical,” "memorial," benevolent” and "social." But the educational work done bv the U. D. C, Is limited to the direct descendants of Confederate veterans. The Daughters of Georgia. however, are advancing on a broader line, for, besides their Win nie Davis Memorial Dormitory at the Normal School at Athens, Os.,, they are valiantly helping the Rabun (lap In dustrial School, and I believe are also establishing other schools for the Illit erate whites of their state. But 12 per cent of Illiteracy among the native- born whites of deorgla still remains, and In spite Of the great educational advancement In Alabama and the splendid efforts of our school commis sioners, we have over 14 per rant of Illiteracy In this state among the native-born whiten over ten years of age, and though Louisiana Is making desperate efforts to Improve her edu cational conditions, she still has 17 per cant to reduce, while the story of the pitiful conditions In the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee. Kentucky and Virginia are too well known to need . repeating. If an organisation, such as the Houthern Education Board of New Tork, rompoeed mostly of Northern people, ran secure millions and bestow them upon the colleges snd normal schools and schools for nsgroes throughout the country, why not an organisation to secure millions for the Bid qf rural schools In (he rural dis tricts of the South, for the forgotten white children, the Impoverished Illit erates of our own flesh and blood? Commissioner Harris, of the United States board of education, says, and says truly, that "the problem of the hour Is th* rural school.” Why not help ot|r Southland solve this problem? Do we not know that enlightened cltl- senshlp Is the most .vital question of the hour? 1 Do we not know that Illiter acy among the negroes I* fast disap pearing. and that It Is a necessity that we educate this vast percentage of uneducated whites, If w* hope to pre serve .the Intellectual status of the /tnglo-Saxon and the domination of white supremacy? Would It not be too late If we wait upon the events of time to change these conditions? It did not require much thinking to decide that we would make an effort at least, and so we organised.

What Wa Are Doing. Being duly Incorporated under Ihe lawa of the Dlatrlrt of Columbia, with headquarters In Washington city, and on a firm legal and business basis, our first thought was to stnd n message to our slaters of the Southland, Ihe United Daughters of the Confederacy. It was * sad message, bearing the cry of humanity, and our earnest appeal for their aid and co-operation. We knew ihnt the United Daughters of the Confederacy stood first ss an organised body of women working for our South land. and though their memorial work limited their time and means, so that they could not.tske up ibis educational work as an entire mission (as we had done), we believed they would not only he glad lo donate to the causa a “wid ow’s mite,” so to spesk, from each chapter, without depleting their treas uries, hut we believed they would have had a right to resent not being given Photograph of Mrs. Whflridge, wife of (he special Unite!

An Interesting Woman An interesting woman who it of In ternet to womankind is Mrs. Letttla Tvl-r Semple, daughter of tho once President Tyler of th.. United State*,and whose eighty-sixth birth.lay waa cele brated on Friday, .Turn- «. She Is tow an Inmate of the Louise Home In Washington city and is totally blind. Women of tha bentlest und most grlstorratlc Southern birth are the Inmates of this home, and each woman mix her board, as It la not a charitable Institution. Situated In the heart of r. fashionable dlntrlrt of that city—W. W. Corcoran gave the endowment to Louise homo In memory of his daughter, Louise Corcoran. Mre. Semple’* marriage th Mr. Semple oc curred when she waa 19 years of age; and her husband waa then a wealthy min. He owned a large and . valuable estate In Virginia. This wa* before Ithe war. and at Its close the Semples found all their wealth gone and their property lessened In value. Mrs, Sem ple then opened and successfully con ducted a school for young' ladles In Baltimore. She has now been blind for many months, but would nsver accept an Invitation to the White house, hav ing constantly refused such Invitations since the Pierce administration. She was such a warm Southerner that ahe would never accept anything from the Northern side.. After the death of her mother Mrs. Semple assumed the duties of mis tress of the white house, which she dis charged with grace and tact until her father’s second marriage, only a few months before hts term of office ex pired. Ills second bride was Miss Julia Gardner, of New York, and, al though she was a lovely and beautiful woman, this second marriage Is not a pleasant memory to Mrs. Semple*. Mrs. Semple In her youth Was her father's constant companion. She was a good musician and was tbe life and aplrit of his household. She was gay and loving and beautiful. She played for him In his leisure momenta, and aang him to sleep when ho was tired. His favorite song was an old-fashioned one called "Rome,” the words of which she, now repeats to herself evary day. In fancy recalling the many times hor father listened to them with delight. Boas or Ruches Required Now With Every Gown, Rich or Plain Officers.
