ANOTHER BIO BOOST FOE THE LOUISE JUVkNLLE HOME, 6121 ADA STEEET, CHIOAGO. Kind friends have been holding for many weeks indignation meetings discussing homes for Colored children. It seems as if the Louise Juvenile Home and its bright prospects of being a larger institution is the cause of all these meetings held "by a few of the so-called important Colored people who hare just begun to wake up to the fact that there are so many homeless Colored children on the streets of Chicago, and no place where they can be properly trained.

"With all their sympathy for these unfortunates they are not willing to sacrifice a dime for their support, neither would they open their homes -and -take one in for ear of degrading -themselves, and with all the religion we are supposed to have, the church doors hove been dosed against them. The Louise Juvenile Home was visited a few days ago by the Curran Legislative Committee, investigating homes and charities. Mr. Curran, chairman of the committee, was de-lighted with the conditions in this 'home; also Mr. Mooney, the state's at-torney for the legislators, admired the neatness of the home, and said the children were clean and well fed, and that it was conducted more as one large -family than an institution.

He -further stated 'that they had been into so many filthy places that it was really a treat -to come into a clean and neat place -like -the Louise Home. He expressed himself to Mrs. McDonald, -regretting Tery much any unjust criticism that appeared in the because they were well with the home, but they could not control the newspapers. Mr. Mooney, in talking to Mr.

"Wilfred S. Beynolds, superintendent of the Illinois Childrens' Home and Aid Society, said again that he was sorry for the newspaper criticism and recommended the home very highly. Mr. Charles Virden, investigator for the Board of Administration at Springfield, spent two hours in the Louise Juvenile Home last Saturday and was delighted with all conditions and told Mrs. McDonald that Mr.

Curran, the chairman of the Curran Committee, had also recommended the home "to him. Mr. "Virden complimented Mrs. Ethel Simpson, the present matron, in the highest terms. Mrs.

McDonald wishes to thank those who held the indignation meeting from the "bottom of her heart for interesting themselves so much and "being the means of making the home so popular with such a grand body of gentlemen as the Curran Investigating Committee. Bemember, friends, all liars have their part -in the -lake trf fire -and every knock is a boost. Mrs. McDonald met the committee and was never -treated tetter by any one. They proved -to great friends to -the Louise Home and the home will prosper by their visit.

Mrs. McDonald wishes to thank Mr. Curran, Mr. Mwraey, Mr. Virden and especially Mr.

'Wilfred B. Reynolds, who -has done so much 'for the home. COMMESTdEMENT "WISES AT TUSttEGSE INHTITUTiL On-Sunday, May 25th, at two -o'clock the TiYtnal Commencement Sermon will be preached in the Institute Chapel by Dr. John E. "White pastor o2 the Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, -Georgia.

iTOT A GIFT OF NATTJBE. Declares It Is a Complete Science Which Fair Sex Should Study to Do Selves Justice. Paris. Nada, the artist, who is thought tho finest Parisian delineator of the beautiful lines of women, has given his women admirers in tho last issue of tho La Vie Heureuso some good advice on the cultivation of gracefulness. Grace, ho asserts, is not merely a gift of nature.

It is also a complcto science, which every woman can and should study to do herself real justice. Should Follow Physical Culture. In order to attain to tho maximum of gracefulness, Nada insists that every woman, however gifted naturally, should follow some form of physical culture. In replying to the critics, who hold that this year's fashionable silboutte and characteristic curved pose of the body are inartistic, Nada says that no woman can fail to be graceful if she follows six rules: "First When in company adopt rather a remote air. Don't show too eager an interest in what people say.

Let it bo thought that you aro enigmatic Nothing succeeds so well as this. "Second Speak as little as possible, unless yon say something precise. Above all, speak without gestures, which are the enemy of grace" in conversation. "Third When at table taste Tather than eat. Eat with studied gestures, so as to show off the hand and arm.

Smelling Flowers Adds to Grace. "Fourth When receiving at home, or when in a box at the theater, have a few roses with long stalks at hand. Inhale them from time to time. This movement of gathering up flowers close to the face is of never fading grace. "Fifth Study tho sound of your voice.

So many women lose part of their charm as soon as they open their mouth. A voice of half a pitch, low without being grave, may bo obtained with very little trouble, and is infinitely seductive. "Sixth Let the five foregoing rules be carried out in the most natural way without the smallest effort perceptible; for if effort be revealed by your way, of inhaling tho flowers or putting a glass to your lips, better give it up and go back to mother nature."
