Has Distinctive Lines
H44-S
BY BARBARA BELL.
THE afternoon has become estab
lished in the fashion world
and with it an entirely new
sort of dressing. Used to be
juat tweeds and evening clothes. Spom
frocks to wear all day and a pretty
something to climb into when a formal
occasion arose. But we're approaching
a more formal interpretation of the
mode, more civilized living, if you likp.
And a tweed, or a shirt-waist frock ot
jersey, will scarcely be admitted into a
gathering of smart women who have
given the hour to tea. or bridge, or a
more or less formal luncheon. Time
to primp before a mirror, to change
into something soft and flattering for
leisure hours. That is what the woman
of this year Is asking, and clothes are
in complete accord. They are gracious,
simple, sometimes not so simple, for
those who like fuss and feathers, and
they reflect the mood of the times.
When we get sort of philosophical
about clothes you may be sure there is
a mighty good dress in the offing. And
here it is. Just a one-piece frock, but
with such good lines and details. The
neckline is especially nice, formed bv
the front section of the blouse, and
the sleeves which come clear up over
the shoulders, into a slap-dash square.
Then there is a jabot which proceeds
on down the front of the blouse, giving
the effect of a panel in front and back.
Are you one who likes dress-up (
clothes all of coal black, reserving
bright colors for sports and evening?
Then choose this dress In black, wltn
a glitter of metal for the cuffs and a
brilliant buckle and clip. Do you never
get your fill of color? Then have this!
dress in ink blue, or citron, or ginger. |
Or. if you want something even more j
lively, choose one of the new pastels,
pale green, coral, smoke-gray, blue, the
color of the dress Queen Mary wore at
her son's wedding, a soft, medium
shade. Soft wool, or silk, one of tne
lovely sheers, or a rayon. All are good
and worth your very close attention.

Did Her Servant or Abolition
Journalist Write Book on
Pretty Clothes?
By the Associated Press.
"Behind the scenes,” the Mary Todd
Lincoln book which was banned more
than 60 years ago, has stirred a
new historical controversy.
This decidedly feminine document,
with a President's wife’s passion for
pretty clothes as its theme, has freshly
brought to the fore three picturesque
Civil War characters—Mrs. Lincoln,
the President's wife, who tried to sell
her wardrobe: Elizabeth Keckley, one
time slave and later a colored modiste,
and Jane Swlsshelm, an able aboli
tion journalist.
Researcher David Rankin Barbee
recently reported his conclusion that
the book was conceived and written
by Jane Swlsshelm, and Jane only.
They brought colored leaders forward
In spirited defense of Elizabeth Keck
ley as an author.
Photographs Are Found.
In old albums they found photo
graphs of her to prove her a decidedly
dressy and intelligent person.
They cited as living witnesses to
various phases of her long existence
the pastor who preached her funeral
sermon here in 1907: a namesake in
whose family she lived as far back
as 1864; the daughter of a man
who almost married her In North
Carolina, before she ever came to
Washington: a pupil In her domestic
science class In Wilberforce Uni
versity for Colored at Xenia, Ohio;
a teacher in the public schools, who
recalled her extreme old age here
as matron of a home for colored
children.
The composite picture they built
up was of a woman more than six
feet tall, of great grace and poise,
whose Introduction of the "S. T.
Taylor system of cutting and fitting”
had won for her a great and fash
ionable patronage.
Teacher Backs Swisshelm.
Yet tne stanchest Keckley de
fender of all. J. E. Washington, a high
school art teacher who makes a hobby
of history of the Lincoln period, cheer
fully conceded the flawless grammar
and brilliant literary style of the book
to Jane Swisshelm, the first woman
to sit In the 8enate press gallery.
But Washington, who said he had
collected data on the life of Elizabeth
Keckley, as opportunity offered, for
30 years, emphatically claimed for her
the experiences chronicled In the book
that bears her name—receiving Mrs.
Lincoln’s confidences through four
years In the White House, staying
with her there after Lincoln's assassi
nation until she left for Chicago "with
scarcely a friend to tell her good-by";
sharing her secret trip to New York
under an assumed name to put on
sale her fabulous vardrobe. and re
ceiving later letters from Mrs. Lin
coln fairly dripping with woe. and
berating the Republicans as ingrates
and Congress for not appropriating
money to meet her needs.
Saw G. O. P. Day of Reckoning.
I A few of Mrs. Lincoln's letters said:
j "If I had committed murder In every
city in this blessed Union, I could not
be more traduced.
"I feel sure that the Republicans
who. to cover up their perfidy and
neglect, have used every vllianous
falsehood In their power to injure
me—I fear they have more than suc
ceeded; but if their day of reckoning
does not come in this world, it surely
will in the next.”
"An ungrateful country this!”
The book came out in 1868. The
year before Mrs. Lincoln's wardrobe
had been a bitterly debated issue in
i Congress, with open contenders that
some of its more costly items were
presents from Army contractors and
| wealthy politicians.

taking items as a $1,500 camels-hair
shawl, a $2,000 point lace shawl, a
$4,000 point lace dress, a $250 parasol
cover and an $80 handkerchief.
Two Curios Displayed.
Washington showed two of his cu
rios of Lincoln’s death: (1) a framed
square of the blood-stained sheet on
which Lincoln died: (2) a framed
square of the blood-stained dress worn
I by Mrs. Lincoln that night.
He said scientific tests of stains on
! the two had shown the blood to be
identical and that then authenticity
had been elaborately attested. And he
turned to the page in the long-sup
pressed Keckley book which told of
Mrs. Lincoln’s Ford Theater gown go
ing to exactly the same colored family
that he got the relic from—and they’d
never even known about the book.
Moreover, he said, Elizabeth Keck
ley had talked about the book in her
domestic science classes to such effect
that the few copies he had seen In
present-day circulation virtually all
belonged to her pupils, who had sought
them out in second-hand stores.
V. Volta Parma, the rare book cura
tor at the Congressional Library, who
cherishes both the Keckley and Swiss
helm autobiographies, is keeping a
daily tab on the progress of the con
| troversy.
