PAGE TEN \ | i: fflmm ||g This season we are favored by fortune. Why? The designers of women’s handbags have decided to contrive this most essential ar ticle larger than those of the previous year. And really, practically every woman with whom I’ve talked is very happy about the whole thing. The basic conception of a handbag is used for the purpose of car rying money, keys and “various articles.” Although the phrase “rai ous articles” should be limited, I must confess along with the rest of you that it usually includes anything from a pocket dictionary, to any item purchased while shopping that will fit into it. This, we really should not do, girls. Your handbag should be a treasured item. First, because a “good” bag is expensive, especially so when the excise tax is added. Second, because it may be used to do double duty with several ensembles in your wardrobe. For example, the average woman who owns a reptile bag of alli gator, lizard or snake, wears it with her matching shoes when dressed for an occasion as well as using it when she goes on a shopping tour because it is usually Larger as well as durable. This is one of the reasons the designers of these particular types of bags decided to make them larger this season, for we seemingly preferred them that way. But because of their double duty, we should preserve them by not filling them with the unnecessary. The general consensus is that the life of said bag should be twice the legnth of its matching shoes. ■tt The velvet handbag is especially popular this fall and winter sea son. Once upon a fashion time this fabric was used in the making of very small bags for parties and formal occasions only. Today, you find the velvet bag larger, and as tailored as you like. This particular type of bag I have found exceptionally practical. I purchased one last fall to wear with a velvet trimmed suit; used it this summer to wear with a white pique cocktail dress. I am using it again this season to wear with a velvet formal. In order to make this kind of bag lasting, its a good idea to wrap it in several pieces of tissue before putting it away. A handbag of suede should be purchased only if you can afford a good one. One sound reason is because your bag must always be in sight, and when it is, it is in “spilling” distance as well. A good suede bag will retain its character after a good brushing, wherein an eoex pensive one will not. The suede bag is a grand one to have amon£ your handbag collec tion, but if you do not have a variety of otherff to Use aloag with it, buy one of broadcloth instead. These bags are just as appealing to the eye, and just as smart in appearance when used with your suede shoes. Progress Shown On 87th Anniversary Os Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address WASHINGTON (ANP) Last Sunday marked the four-score and seventh year since Abraham Lincolh delivered his famous ad dress dedicating a battlefield at Gettysburg. At the time this historical two-minute speech was delivered by the Great Emancipator there was only bfte Negro who had wolf nation al statue according to Drew Pearson, famous newspaper columnist. In his syndicated column ap pearing last Saturday, Pearson re ferred to Frederick Douglas, an escaped slave and an adviser to Lincoln as being the only Negifj national figure at that time. “Today” said Pearson, “the Na tion has paid tribute to Ralph Bunche, winner of the Nobel prize; to Judge William Hastie, first Negro to sit on the U. S. Court of Appeals; to Cong. Wil liam Dawson, first Negro chair man of a congressional commit tee; to Walter Gordon, chairman of the California Adult authority; and to Brig. Gen. B. O. Davis, first Negro to attain the rank of gen eral. At the time of the Gettysburg address, Negroes were not per mitted to own property, while they can now own property with out restrictive covenants. When Lincoln spoke his piece at the battle field, Negroes had no place to obtain a free education except missionary schools, while during World War II more than two-million Negroes in the armed forces had high school education. After stating these facts Pear- He pointed out that we have a long way to go to lift Negro schools to. the level of White schools in the Southern States. “And right here in the Capital of the nation, which is supposed to be the heart of democracy and freedom,” the famous Marion An derson would probably be refused a cup of coffee if she tried to drink one in most of the down town restaurants. And one of the leading theatres closed its doors rather than admit Negroes.” Pearson stated that Lincoln set our goals but left them for us to attain. If he were living today, the columnist continued, he would perhaps warn us that unless we learned to live together as indivi duals as well as a nation “we, the people may perish from the earth.
