Student Name Cali Hughes Summary A newly installed fashion column provides new ways to keep women from suffering heatstroke due to their clothes in the summertime. Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18980806&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated 1 Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Thin apparel for the hottest of hot seasons. How to keep cool is a problem which perplexes many women who suffer intensely from warm weather, yet do not wish to spend their summer in the seclusion of their bedroom and a lawn wrapper. Thin underwear, if cambric or lawn, if of course an understood thing, and open work corsets, the shorter the better, should be adopted, as thereby much discomfort is escaped. The variety known as the cycling or riding corset is hardly more than a girdle and is comparatively cool. So much transparent fabric is worn this summer that there are sheer dimities without number to choose from, and thin grenadines also, but if these are still too thick white or cream dotted wash net such as is used for ties and fichus will be found entirely satisfactory. It must be made without a lining, of course, and may be prettily shirred and gathered. A silk underdress is not at all requisite and adds much to the heat of the costume, beneath which a pretty muslin petticoat and corset cover will have an equally good effect. Of course, such a gown can only be worn in the house, as transparent costumes are in the worst taste for the street, even in the country. These dresses of cotton net are cooler than those of silk, which require silk beneath and have the additional advantage of laundering to perfection. The bathing suit illustrated is of white serge. The trousers are plain, and the skirt is edged with three bands of red braid. Red braid and anchors decorate the tunic, which is full and has a girdle of red silk. The short-puffed sleeves are gathered into a cuff. A white cap and white shoes are worn. Judic Chollet.

There are great talents in reach, if one will only look, and these talents may be a comfort in dark hours that will make life better and happier, both for ourselves and those about us. It is the girl who does things that is attractive. This does not mean painting great pictures or singing in grand operas or writing the popular book, but it does mean cultivating the faculty of saying bright things, playing light, catchy airs, acquiring the art of being sympathetic. The girl who outs her own griefs as much as possible aside-- who takes a wholesome interest in life, who cultivates looking for the best in people with whom she comes in contact-- is happier herself and makes those about her happy.

Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19080912&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Mrs. Earl Hallam, the Springfield lady who wanted to have her picture printed on postal card and sold in order to make some money, after she claimed she had been assaulted in her home in that city. August 14, has completely broken down and confessed that George Richardson did not assault her, in an affidavit which she freely and willingly signed the first of the week requesting State’s Attorney Hatch to release him from the Bloomington jail. It is not out of place to state right here that “the blood of the innocent Negroes who met their death at the hand of the mob is splattered all over Mrs. Hallam, and the longest day that she lives she cannot escape from realizing that her foolish or childish tale was the direct cause of so much bloodshed,” and the following is the tale she told, which was printed in large type, with most glaring headlines in setting forth her old tale: She claimed that at or near 11 o’clock P.M. “she was dragged by some Negro from off her bed, out of the house through the back yard to an outhouse where she was assaulted, after which she leaped over a back fence and notified her mother-in-la.” While the so-called assault was going on, “she claims that she never lost consciousness,” and yet notwithstanding the fact that she lived in a double house, no one heard any scuffling or noise, and with these facts before her eyes she had the nerve to relate her tale of assault, and the morning after it was supposed to have been pulled off, she was at the police station looking as bright and fresh as anyone could look. Richardson was one of the colored men arrested charged with committing the crime and brought before her for identification, and she said that more of them was the guilty man. Afterwards she said that she believed that if Richardson would change his clothes she could identify him. He was arrested by the officers on his way home, his clothes were changed and he was again taken before the woman, this time in the county sheriff’s office. She conversed with him and said that if his voice sounded like that am the man who insulted her and said that if his voice sounded like that am the man who insulted her and said that if he was not the man he would have to prove it to her. Furthermore she said that she was not positive about his identification as “all colored men looked alike to her.” Richardson protested his innocence and swore that he was at home with his wife all that night and that he retired about 8:30 P.M. His wife, not knowing his statement, gave exactly the same testimony when asked concerning his whereabouts. Nevertheless he was taken to jail and the report was widely circulated that the woman had positively identified him, and that he had confessed.” ...

Leigh St. She has been to New York City for several years and has been riding the wheel only about six years. During the past 18 months she has been taking parts in races. She won a silver medal in a century run in Greater New York and on another occasion she won the race from New York to Cooney Island. She rides a Pierce wheel, diamond frame patern and geared up to about 80 or 85. Her bicycle skirt is made in the latest bloomer style, blue colored and with numerous little brass buttons.

She has been on the road several times with some of our fastest riders and has made them push the wheel for all it was worth to keep up with her. A certain gentleman, who has won several medals for fast riding and now uses either the horse or a wheel, was sent home a few evening ago by the lady as the second best rider. She is a pleasant talker and takes delight in wheels. She left the city on yesterday, and said if any of the wheelmen of our city come to Greater New York she would carry them over the city.
