By HAZEL L. GRIGGS
I CHICAGO—(ANP)—Yes, we’ve
perry Christmased and dined and
lanced and enjoyed the Yuletide
Kit should be enjoyed. But,
long with all this being a fashion
■euth at heart, we’ve noted the
lend of the styles issued out by
lanta from his famous pack.
I The Alpha Kappa Alpha twi
|gbt dance her e Christmas day
Brought out an array of fashion
ables that it yearly attracts. Be-
Ig an informal affair from six
Intil ten, afternoon frocks were
lie order of the day, and new
Ihristmas bundles had been
■hook out of all their glittering
wrappings to put in an appearance.
I Black was the color most seen
■otten among the dancers as they
waltzed and swung around the
luletree, but winter pastels ran
K close second as well as a new
■rcup, smoky pastels, soft shades
If blue, rose, grey, lime and toast.
Ilack with frothy accents of white
■owever, seemed to be most popu
lar, and this combination is al
lays battering and appealing.
lAn especially interesting frock
was the spang-new inky crepe lace
■rimmed model worn by a gay
loung matron. Featuring the new
lowered waist line with horizontal
lucking at the hips and across
Khf bosom, the dress had a V-
Ihaped neck which was delight
fully edged with a crisp, snowy
lace ruching.
I Festive jacket and skirt com
binations were also quite popular
lame and moire jacket blouses with
Icing embroidery, was very effec
tive with its black gored skirt. '
■Another, a shining turquoise lame
fceplum type with gOTd 'threadings,
lopped a gold faille skirt.
■TURBANS HOLD OWN
I Turflbans still continue to hold
Iheir own in the millinery scene,
kr,d were much in evidence top
ting curly coiffures. Velvet has
liven way to belting ribbon, faille
Imd crepes in most cases, but a
bopular coed, home for the holi
days, was very pert In a holly red
luilted velveteen turban which
fciatched 'her quilted mittens.
I Suede turbans were also seen,
pften catcning up the color note of
luede bags. A fur pom-pom, keyed
lo her new fur coat, was worn by
pne chic debutante. All in all, for
kaiety, style and beauty, the Alpha
Kappa Alpha dance wa s the starry
Christmas symbol Chicagoans have
brown to expect from this group,
proceeds go to their scholarship
■und, you know. The affair usher

Womans Youthful ness Being
Extended Into The Years
Varied Activities
Helping Nature
By HELEN JAMESON
IT IS AN advantage to have been born with beautiful
bones—bones of perfect proportion—so that torso and limbs
are of harmonious lines. Short legs and long body don’t
make for smart attire, nor does the short-vvaisted torse
and long leg combination. ,
Add slenderness with natural
curves to beautiful bones a"d
you’re right there in the front
ranks of the beauty chorus. If you
exercise and mind what you eat,
being careful not to let the years
fling fat cells at you, you’ll stay
that way. But beautiful figures
are not to be depended upon. Poor
posture spoils them; awkardness of
movement causes them to lose
value as pulchritude assets.
CUTE WAISTS NEEDED
Requirements at the present
time, with dress styles what they
are, Include a cute little waistline
hips with pretty curves, small
firm, young-looking breasts. The
flat chest is a handicap, especially
when blouses are worn. Arms must

tiny hands were blessings from
heaven. Not so these days. Hands
must look interesting; if they look
useful, so much the better.
Woman’s youthfulness is being
extended into the years, largely
because of greater understanding
of the laws of health, partly be
cause of her varied activities, part
ly because of greater interest in
outdoor life.
The smaller waist, demanded by
the tyrant, Madame Fashion, is
the result of two much freedom in
dress. Too many women have tag
ged about with revealing folds of
flesh, no neat bandages to give
smoothness of surface. Something
had to be done about it. A littia
harnessing won’t do a bit of harm.
That does not mean that the oid
steel-riveted corset will return.
REGULATE DIET
It’s one thing to have freedom of
movement, another to look fleshily
sloppy. Trimness is the order of
the day and thank goodness for
that. The smaller waist will lead
some of our heavyweights to try
harder to be rid of their excess
tonnage. It isn’t always easy to do
that. Regulations of diet and exer
cise are tough, but if the good wo r k
goes on long enough, the bath
room scales will bring happy
tidings.
As if to compensate for giving
us hats that are hard on the face,
fashion is offering us frocks and
robes that are easy on the femi
nnjne shape. Necklines are becom
ing, a blessing to the woman
whose neck has started to go to
seed. Blouses and the upper por
tions of gowns are given fulln-iss
to give the effect of the normal
bust. Many dresses are beltless, tne
pinch-in produced by cut an,
careful fitting.
Princess effects for evening wear
are as romantic as moonlight; no
other style ever created can dis
play at beautifully molded figure
with such exactitude and perfec
tion.

Says College Graduates Fail
To Solve Problems Os Negro
By SAD YE BROWN
of Augusta, Ga.
(Publicity Chairman)
NEW YORK—Chosing as his
subject “The State, the Church,
| the University and the Future, ’’
Rev. James T. Robinson, pastor of
! the Church of the Master, here the
I Federation of Negro College Clubs
was holding its- first annual Negvo
College Day last Sunday, blasted
the Negro intelligensia for its lack
of sincerity in helping to solve the
many problems facing the masses
! of our group. Rev. Robinson, pres
ident of the local Lincoln club, and
affiliate of the Federation, con
gratulated the member-clubs on
their purpose of mutual betterment
and active participation in com
munity affairs. He said that the
Federation would bring about a
j fulfillment of the need of a close-:
understanding of and larger activ
ity in various problems facing Lie
Negro.
Representatives of 16 affiliated
clubs appeared on the program in
various speaking, musical and oth
er numbers. The invocation was
given by Rev. S. Joel Lloyd, repre
sentating Benedict Club, followed
by opening remarks by Ashton

served as master of ceremonies.
Sylvester Yates, N. Y. Hampton

work done by his club in laying
down the ground work of the Fed

Negro Must
Keep Awake,
Mrs. Bethune
*
By ETHEL HARRIS
RICHMOND, Va.—(ANP)—“Thi?
is Your Day, This is Your Hour
was the opening remark of Mrs
Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of
Bethune-Cookman college, in an
address here Sunday afternoon et
the Moore Street Baptist church.
Mrs. Bethune explained that her
present post as adviser on Negro
affairs in the NYA arose out of
the anxiety of the president of the
United States to better the condi
tion of those youth who could not
secure work or whatever else de
noted security at a time at which
the economic level of our country
had fallen.
It was her feeling that white
children would always have su
perior opportunities, better equip -
ment, a differential in transporta
tion and higher cultural advant
ages if Negro leaders did not
participate in existing £rogvan.».
“This is a day,’’ she conment'ed,
“that Negro leaders need participa
tion in every place. Somebody ha.>
got to be there for them to realize
that we are to be - participants in
the program.
If you Virginians are not getting
what you are supposed to get, it i 3
up to you to let them know it. . .
Negroes are very important to
everything now. They are taking
the time to look around to sea
what we are doing, what we are
thinking. . . You must have Amer
ican everywhere, realize that tne
Negro is not asleep, but is wiae
awake.”
Mrs. Bethune pointed out t->
NYA, when the program was in its
inception, that $6 a month might
seem a very little money for tne
little children in the rural area, but
it meant so much to them. I*
meant not only books, but medi
cine and other necessities of liv
ing.
The CCC program, for instance,
has offered similar advantages for
Negroes in that it has given these
boys good shoes, good showers
good recreation and conferences
with an educational adviser.
Mrs. Bethune stressed her posi
tion by stating, “I think the day
has come when black faces must
be seen in high places.” Difficulty,
however, lies in the fact that “it is
hard for us as Negroes to realize
that the doors are open. We tend
to wait until we are led on.” Mrs
Bethune urged Negro youth to be
come more aware of the oppor
tunities of participation in world
and national affairs, and to entc?
these doors whenever they are
open.
