We indorse his ACCORDING to a time honored and much quoted principle of common law a man's home is his castle. All too often it looks like his lair. This is not only true of poverty-stricken homes, where one expects to find shabiness if not squalor; it is also true of homes where considerable money is available for dressing up the place. Most of the homes of Harlem, for example, give one with a sense of proportion and a proper regard for money the jim-jams. The small rooms of our city apartments are crowded with oversized furniture built for the spacious rooms of country houses. Floors are padded with thick carpets when varnish and a small rug or two would be cheaper, healthier and less of an insult to the eye. Lest we offend the sensitive we will not dwell on that atrocious air for baroque incunabula which expresses itself in making book ends of gilded brickbats, umbrella stands of lacquered garbage cans, and art lamps of electrified thundermugs. But, really, one sees these things and something ought to be done about it. History shows that evils tend to become progressively worse till they reach a crisis, and the crisis produces a man of the hour. The aesthetic degradation of the Harlem home has reached the inevitable crisis and the man of the hour appears to be none other than d'Andre, the discerning gentleman who has been contributing articles on interior decoration to the columns of this great Puritan paper. These articles have attracted considerable interest, which, by the way, is the reason why we are publishing this editorial—trying to win back some of the interest the scamp has weaned away from this whilom popular page. To get back to this man-of-the-hour business—Mr. d'Andre proposes to meet the present aesthetic crisis in an admirably practical manner. Beginning February 3rd, Mr. d'Andre will publish a series of popular lessons in interior decoration for the edification of the householders of Harlem and the provinces. One complete lesson will be published in each issue, presented in plain, simple language which even your limited intelligence, dear reader, will be able to grasp. Mr. d'Andre's taste and judgment in these matters are far above the average, being, in fact, only a slightly inferior to our own. We indorse his course without reservation. ONE PARTY NONSENSE id of the Bourbon kings of F nothing, learn nothing, forget no rock fits the majority of Harlem a subway turnstile. This is erders their political thinking skulls can be called thinking. T was said of the Bourbon kings of France, "They know nothing, learn nothing, forget nothing." The wise crack fits the majority of Harlem editors snug as a nickel fits a subway turnstile. This is especially true when one considers their political thinking—if what goes on inside their skulls can be called thinking. Their entire political philosophy can be summed up in one of the imbecil remarks of the usually astute Fred Douglas: The Republican party is the ship all else is the sea. To hold that belief today is simply Uncle Tom nonsense. It reveals a habit of mind which looks upon a political party as a benefactor to dispense favors. It is the philosophy of men with a serf psychology. To approach any party admitting that party is the only hope of getting fair play is to accept the status of a suppliant which is a position of inferiority. The modern and manly idea is to approach all parties having a chance of success with the proposition to exchange votes for certain definite enabling or relief measures and then handing over the votes to the party which makes the best bid. The former attitude is the attitude of subjects or beggars; the latter is the attitude of citizens. The voters of Harlem, ignoring the Uncle Tom newspapers, began to employ the modern means about fifteen years ago and today we have one of the most independent and intelligent electorates in the country. More recently colored citizens of other sections of the country have dropped the one-party superstition. The voters of Maryland and Tennessee, led by courageous newspapers, have begun to vote on the merits of men and issues from the point of view of enlightened self-interest irrespective of party labels. They have learned that the way to make our vote effective is not to let any party have an indefinite lease on it. There is reason to hope that in the course of time even Harlem editors will grasp this fact. Science has demonstrated that animals with least intelligence in proportion to their size live longest. This means our editors are virtually immortal and at their present rate of progress they ought to be able to grasp the simpler rudiments of politics the day before judgment day.

FRII THE HOME BEAUTIFUL * * * Mail Pouch Editor of the Interstate Tattler. Dear Sir: It was indeed gratifying as I called on friends in the City of Brotherly Love, Chester, Pa., and Atlantic City, to see the Tattler in their libraries, and to hear them discuss their anxieties to get the Tattler weekly, and read what Geraldyn Dismond is sending out. The real ability of Jerry in friendship, social standards, and extraordinary (mentis) is well known to her friends who see her all the time, and we not only rely on her ability, but very often seek her advice and opinion when in need of authentic decisions. It gives me much happiness to add my encouragement to the subscribers and readers of the Tattler and to assure them that the Press is very fortunate in having the services of one of the best prepared women. Three cheers for a broader and wider circulation for the Tattler in 1928. Sincerely yours, (S.) DOUGLASS BUTTERFIEILD. * * * Durham, N. C. Dear Mr. Lewis: The Tattler is going big here. The agent sold all those sent before leaving the North Carolina Mutual office. Yours for continued success, (Signed) BESS WHITTED. * * * Ironsides School, Bordentown, N. J. Editor of Interstate Tattler. My dear Mr. Lewis: You remember what a little nothing of a paper the Tattler was some two or three months ago. Now it is brim full of interest. So nice to make it altogether a social paper. Yours truly, (Signed) MARIAN BROWN. * * * New York City The Interstate Tattler, Gentlemen:- Wouldn't it be nice, (I think), to have two issues a week of the most interesting Pictorial I have read lately. No. I don't guess you would care to have as much work as two issues would require, but that is just my way of expressing myself to you for the great improvement in your paper. Very truly yours, (Signed (Mrs.) Charles Johnson New York City * * * Editor of the Interstate Tattle. Dear Sir, Will you be a regular fellow and give me a bit of very much desired information? I am dying to know who the incomparable Night Hawk is. Is he really as intriguing as his writing? I didn't know there was any one uptown so smooth, and yet so sharp. I mean I actually want to know him—and you may tell him for me without divulging any secrets—that I have no inhibitions. Very, sincerely yours, FELICITAS DAY. The Uptown New Yorker Yama Yama ON several Harlem corners, the Uptown New Yorker beholds bearded firemen busily stoking what on first glance appears to be midget steam engines. These contraptions have much in common in size and appearance with the tiny choo choo locomotives of Coney Island. One waits half expecting a sound of a gong, a shrill shriek, a struggling departure. It never occurs. As you may have surmized, they are not engines at all. They are Harlem's Yam Bakers. Hot, roasted yams to order first made their appearance on Harlem's streets during the war. It appears that the idea was plagiarized from the lower east side where on Hester, Rivington and Delancey Streets, Yiddish merchants have peddled baked sweet potatoes for years. The Potato Bakery outfit may be purchased somewhere on Fulton Street and the price ranges from sixty-five to eighty-five dollars a piece. They are apparently worth it. The ingenious Harlemite who brought the first one uptown was a certain Wilson who stationed himself at 135th Street and Lenox Avenue. It is rumored that his idea netted him two apartment buildings. One yam man admits he alone disposes of over three barrels daily. On Fifth Avenue between 135th and 133rd Streets, there are seven bakers. The total in Harlem is about twenty-five. As far as can be ascertained, the yam industry is confined to New York. Chicago may boast of hot tomale peddlers, St. Louis of its crawfish vendors., Charleston of its crab men, Richmond of its salesmen of fried chicken and waffles, but yam bakers are to be found on the streets of Harlem alone. They are licensed by the city. The Health Department does not interfere; perhaps because the baked yam is at least one commodity that the food handler is unable to stick his fingers in. THE announcer from W. H. N. in broadcasting Duke Ellington and his gang the other night, let us in on the secret that one of Duke Ellington's compositions was played by he and his band. WITH the passing of the late lamented Lizzie, one can but hope that the legends which decorate the ancient contraptions also will fade from the face of the earth. It is understood that the campus at Howard is littered with the earlier efforts of Henry Ford. These are in turn littered with chalk. Many bright brain chidlren blaze forth from their rusty sides—One is cautioned to, "Pray as you enter"; "Bring your skates". One tub is labelled "Old Ironsides"; another "Rat Lin Tin". One admonishes "Six days and this makes one weak". This baby Lincoln is "a rattling good car". That is a "leaping Lena"; and yet, "Here's your can". The entire mental gymnastic capacity of the Department of Arts and Sciences has been taxed and it is not difficult to agree with one, at least: "If you read this, you're crazy". THE southwest corner of 135th Street and Seventh Avenue is dark again. Four attempts have been made, recently, to establish lucrative enterprises on this widely known intersection but without success. A dress shop was the first. Harlem, apparently preferring its ladies' attire "hot", passed it by. A de luxe delicatessen was second. It was operated by a Reuben but not the Reuben of "From a sandwich to a national institution" fame. It is suspected that the secret of his failure lay in his overlooking the advisability of dispensing chitterlings and hog maws. Two drug stores followed, neither, however, enduring long enough to secure a liquor permit. The Uptown New Yorker is quite at loss to suggest just what might be profitable at this expensive corner. There is one person at least who exhibits the potentiality of making the uptown world beat a path to this location—whether he disposed of rat traps or not. The gentleman referred to is he, who at present is packing them in at the Belmont Theatre—to wonder what The Ladder* is all about. For the past several weeks no admission has been charged to performances of The Ladder. CREDITABLE movement is on foot to lessen the excessive number of automotive accidents in uptown highways. It has been ascertained that the majority of these disasters occur after dark.

JUST another week wasted away eating and gaining. As if on purpose, three of my friends invited me to heavy eating bouts the very first week of my self-imposed campaign against one hundred and too many pounds. The w. d. town seems to be in league with the devil of my overweight and bent on keeping me from regaining the lost slenderness of my teens. No matter how many pineapple and lamb chop diets I select, how can I hope to lose an ounce when invitations come in daily for luncheons, breakfasts and dinners. In other words, what availest a woman to drink orange juice all day and devour potatoes and macaroni all night. And the first law for she who would be sylph-like is this: Look not on the wine when it is red for what it does to your wastline is a mess. Yet, every righteous dinner begins with champaign and caviar in the drawing room and ends with black coffee and rum in a comfortable chair. What will the harvest be! THE BAND Once more the canard is nailed. Beauty and Wit sometimes do consort together, as this group of lovely ladies emphatically proves. They are, reading from left to right, ROSE FAUSET, GLADYS HALL, THELMA WASHINGTON and BEATRICE LEE COOPER. Their beauty being self evident, their claim to wit can safely rest on a single fact. They are all citizens of Chicago but, by employing various stratagems and ruses, manage to spend most of their time in New York and other civilized cities. Mrs. Cooper, extreme right, resides permanently in Paris, and thus contrives to keep three thousand miles of ocean between herslf and th aromas of the Boule Mich. Stella Caldwell Castro who is known to New York society as Mrs. Eduardo Castro, started me on my mad career Thursday with a luncheon at Charlie's. For the benefit of the uninitiated, Charlie's is an Italian cafe in the roaring Forties frequented by native Latins and goodly number of the Broadway performers. It is famous for its garlic and vin rouge; and to sit through one of its meals is a simple way of saying that you have floated yards of spaghetti on a red sea. If you think I am exaggerating, this is what we had for a luncheon: Antipasto, ministroni, spaghetto with meat sauce, stuffed beef, peas and potatoes, spumoni and demi tasse. And in coffee cups—no coffee. Mrs. Castro was entertaining in honor of Mrs. Beatrice Lee Cooper of Paris, and in her party were Rose Knox Ellis, Mrs. Cooper's New York hostess. Rena Lewis, Lottie Tyler and Eva Williams of Corona. That same evening, Sol Johnson, Sr., had a birthday dinner at his home in West 130th Street. I only wish that I could adequately describe a Johnson dinner party. I never know whether to begin with the table which reaches from one end of the dining room to the other and seats some twelve or more people, or the kitchen where the best food in the world is prepared by the ton, or the living room where corks pop hither and thither with never-no-stop. Around the table this particular birthday must incidentally I never did hear any mention of which birthday it would set the Cecil McPhersons, U * * * and away eating and gaining. And my friends invited me to heaven a week of my self-imposed camel and too many pounds. The league with the devil of me keeping me from regaining the loss. No matter how many pines I select, how can I hope the actions come in daily for lunch. In other words, what availange juice all day and devour in night. And the first law for like is this: Look not on the hat it does to your wastline is a dinner begins with champaign room and ends with black coffee chair. What will the harvest. d. Beauty and Wit sometimes do self lovely ladies emphatically proves right, ROSE FAUSET, GLADYS BINGTON and BEATRICE LEE, by being self evident, their claim to act. They are all citizens of Chicago,ragems and ruses, manage to spend work and other civilized cities. Mrs. permanently in Paris, and thus conniles of ocean between herslf and Conrad Vincents, Marshall Rosses, Binga Dismonds, Ann Buckman and the Johnson family minus the two bcys. Before them was placed turkey with mushroom sauce mashed potatoes, French peas, hot rolls, cranberry jelly, celery, olives and homemade rum ice cream. Seconds and thirds were in order and we "seen our duty and done it noble". After we had all fallen away from the table, someone suggested that we take a nap right where we lay, but then someone else remembered that there were no end of soft and roomy chairs only a few steps away. By super human effort we made our way to them—there to sigh over the deliciousness of Gram Johnson's cookery. Friday brought a luncheon at the Venetian Tea Room with Lottie Tyler as hostess and Gladys Hall and Rose Fauset of Chicago and Edith Harris of Baltimore as the guests of honor. Vegetable soup, a delicious Spanish omelette, German fried potatoes, Sally Lunn, fruit jello with whipped cream and coffee played havoc with my diet and added a pound or two to my already unfortunate record. But Saturday found me back to the old starvation. Although I had a breakfast myself at the attractive Rossie's for Lenore Scott of Atlantic City, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, Beatrice Lee, Gladys Hall, Rose Fauset, Thelma Washington, Stella Castro and Lottie Tyler, I sat serenely fingering a glass of orange juice as if to say \* \* \* * * * * * * THE WOMAN WHO LOVED THE WORLD DORIS VASSELLES was the recipient of first prize at the Mystic's Affair for having been judged the wearer of the best costume. If there had been any prizes for beauty she might have been the winner of two first prizes. "See the power of mind over matter", but nobody knows the longing with which I eyed their hot muffins or coveted their French fried potatoes. Oh, well! The first hundred years are the hardest. * * * Bill White, Dewey Curtis, Frank Andrews and Skeeter Gorham pitched a party Friday night. Wow! Eggnog Never-no-end. Sandwiches, the most delicious and oodles of them. And people. Ye Gods! Four rooms filled to overflowing. The Bud Fischers, Jimmy Thomas, Earl Johnsons and Mary Harris, Harriet Butcher, E. O. Austin, Carmen Nunez, Godfrey Nurse, Jacque Pinkett, Gwendolyn Peterson, Gay Howell, Gerty Williams, Anna Miller, Dr. Landclauss, Bobby Branch, Lenora Scott, the Nighthawk, and a goodly sprinkling of ofays. There were many others in the dark corners but how could you tell who they were. I couldn't. What a lovely party! Have another soon. * * * Dr Anna Cooper Johnson and her sister, Mary Cooper Harris, were the dinner guests of A'Lelia Walker at Irvington, Sunday evening. * * * The James Williamses of Corona celebrated their Tenth Anniversary with a too bad party Saturday night. If there is anything I love, it is caviar sandwiches (and they had a million). And if there is anything I like better, it is chicken salad (and they had tons of it). And next I fancy ice creams and cake (and they bought up all the ice cream in Corona, and the William Towneses made the cake for a present). I declare! And for liquid refreshments—we did not suffer. There were the Eddie Lowrys. Fred Lowry, Morton Davises, Ben Johnsons, James Burnwells. Frank Evanses. Percy Jenkins, Frank Wilsons, James Gilbert, Castros, Arthur Johnsons, George Fergusons, Joseph Thornells, Burns Malanson, Edward Chavers, Arthur Miller, Thomas Baker, Mose Lawson, Sam Carrol, Mayme Savake and the John Sampsons. Lady Eva got no end of lovely presents. Ten years; and to one man! * * * Everett Johnson of Atlantic City was in town over the week end. Haven't been able to get a line on him except that he was at Irvington Sunday. On dit, that his apartment in the Lincoln is really a dream. Will have more to tell you about it after Easter. * * * I understand that a number of headaches, were reported Monday morning by the Renaissance Big Five and the girls "what they brung with them". It seems that the Jolly Fellows took it into their heads to give the Rens a big blowout at the Sugar Cane Sunday night. So, with the aid of much juice, they chewed the Cane right done. In fact, the Hodge Podge and Mr. Jerry turned the place over to them and they did carry on. A good time was had by all, and especially by the Misses Agnes Collins, Carter, Dorothy James, L. Hinds, the James "Pappy" Ricks' the Harold Mayers', the John Freemans, the George Fialls, Clarence "Fat" Jenkins, Eyre Saitch, Walter "Longie" Saunders, Barry Mapp and Basil Hoyt. * * * Mamie L. Briggs, Dr. E. P. Roberts. George W. Royall, Rev. Willard Monroe, Araminta Anthony, Mildred Goldborough and Mrs W. F Michals attended the celebration of the 40th presidential year of Robert W. DeForrest of the Charity Organization Society at the Hotel Pennsylvania last Tuesday evening. * * * Wallace Thurman, novelist, play right and actor, has been offered a position as manuscript reader with the publishing firm of Boni and Liveright. Congratulations! THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Invitations are out for the Birthday Party of Blanche Ross on Friday the 20th at her residence. Her age is none of your business and I will tell you about the party later. Just found out that the lovely Hallie Smith has been back from Switzerland since Christmas. She is up at Villa Lewaro. Plans to run to California for a visit and return. Some people have all the fun. THE MISSING MISS LENORA SCOTT, the Atlantic City Venus de Milo, is all that that connotation denotes, and improves upon it somewhat with the sweetness of her disposition. * * * The lovely little Lenore Scott of Atlantic City, Horace Scott's twin, made 252 a place worth living in over the week end. I adore having company, especially when it is an attractive and interesting young lady. My other half enjoys it also and that's saying a whole lot. He even condescended to escort us to parties and didn't once complain about business, his meals, or the high cost of living. Please come often. ★ ★ ★ Word has just arrived from the big boss of the Defender, Robert S. Abbott, expressing his regrets at not being able to attend the Schuyler dinner. He did miss a good party. \* \* \* Ah ha! The beautiful Mercedes Rector will be in New York all summer attending Columbia. At least we have something for which to look forward. * * * Among the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Garden Apartment clientele are Attorney James W. and Mrs. Olive Johnson. My suggestion to all prospective callers on the Dunbar folks is that they learn the location of their friends. It is most confusing in and out and around the court, but lovely beyond words. * * * I don't know whether or not you have noticed it, but D'Andre is offering a course in Interior Decoration to Tattler readers. If you are interested in that sort of thing, he really knows his business and the course he has outlined is marvelous. * * * See by Bess Whitted's column that they are still wringing and twisting in Durham. I can hardly wait for the next Fact Finding Conference. There were a few facts that I didn't get all the low down on and some Stock that I left untouched. The Theatre Page Bits The Lafayette The Lafayette was packed and crowded and all were expectatious and waiting to hear the great Fletcher Henderson and his orchestra fill the air with strands of sweet refrain, and to view the dancing beauties of Leonard Harper, led by the petite Maude Russell, tip and tap to "no end" (with opologies to our own little Geraldyn Dismond.) Octavia Sumner was the first to greet the impatient audience, and you can take it from me she was just too bad (I mean 48 and plenty). The chorus girls were so inviting to look upon everyone's eyes were kept busy "potting" them over. And maybe Maude Russell can dance and croon. Don't take my word for it, I swany. Billy Mitchell made me laugh plenty and some more. He or "she" shall I say, just won't quit. Percy Colston has got a voice that you could go on forever listening to. Well, Dewey Brown is all right to me. I think he knows his vegetables when it comes to appealing to the crowd. Blake and Bryson do a mean piece of dancing. My mind went away back to Eddie Rector as I watched these boys do so many nice things with their feet. I wonder how Billy Mitchell gets that way. His feet can be turned every way but lose. All in all, the snow is a good one from start to finish, and worth while seeing. At Hurtig and Seamon's Kitty Madison, who comes to Hurtig and Seamon's Harlem Music Hall next week, has succeeded this season in arranging her show "Jazz Time Revue," into one of the outstanding meritorious offerings upon the circuit. She has accomplished this largely by presenting an entirely new company. Her chief comedian is Harry Evanson, known abroad as "The Little Boob." This is this talented little chap's first appearance in burlesque and the reports received indicate that he is a splendid addition to the aggregation. June Hamilton, the prima donna, is another new comer to the circuit. Laurette Dore, a French maiden with a charming personality and beautiful voice also makes her debut; likewise Gertie Foreman, a singing and dancing soubrette of unusually attractive attainments and presence. George Rehn comes from Ireland and is the possessor of a magnificent tenor voice that is said to rival John McCormick's to whom he bears a marked resemblance. Frank McKay, the dancing demon of vaudeville, has forsaken that branch of activity and dedicated his efforts for this season to Kitty Madison. Dave Gardner, is another deserter who has enlisted under the banner of Mutual burlesque. Whenever the mention of Kitty Madison's name occurs, the instantaneous reply comes, "She always has a bully chorus." And the fair Kitty always insists upon it. THE MUSICIAN MISS WALKER, of the famous Drake and Walker, is so well known that anything we might say here would be repetition. However, you have the chance to view an expression which reveals an inner soul that is positively entrancing. MISS WALKER, of the famous Drake and Walker, is so well known that anything we might say here would be repetition. However, you have the chance to view an expression which reveals an inner soul that is positively entrancing. At the Lincoln Drake and Walker in "My Wife." The curtain rises on a chorus of fifteen snappy dancers who sing a Dixie songs as they step lively about. "Hello Mr. Moon" is sung and the dancers disappear as four comedians enter. "You Look Awfully Good to Me" is well rendered by one of the four and a side-splitting parody is sung by a comedian to his none-too-handsome wife. MISS WALKER, of the famous known that anything we might say ever, you have the chance to view inner soul that is positively entra There are two cunning little boys who dance unusually well and as the last tap of their clog is heard, the chorus, now a feathered flock, re-enters, led by a songstress in fringe and feathers—much like those of Ethel Waters' in a scene of Africana. Some very ordinary manuevers by the chorus are forgotten by the enthusiastic audience as the distant taps of the two dancers are heard. The house becomes a riot as the performer announces and demonstrates simultaneously some "Down Home Dancing." His partner, who is a bit more sophisticated, having preceded him to the North, follows with "How They Dance Up Here." These two get off some very clever remarks as one dances a figure "eight" outdanced by his partner who cuts a figure "nine." The last scene is the culmination of a skit which begins by a comedian who is having difficulty with his unattractive bride. He leaves her, is pursued by a vamp upon whose person he has sprinkled goofer dust, and is taken into the custody of some dangerous looking law, led by the neglected wife. At the Alhambra "Kid Jalvan" the jazz juggler, the world's oldest colored performer, introduces his singular art to Harlem, and they like it. I've heard folks speak of retiring and taking things easy, as the years shower upon them. "Kid Jalvan" says, "never no good doing that." This patriarch, famous the world over, presents for your entertainment the more difficult feats of balancing. There are in Harlem many hard boiled theater goers who tell us that they haven't seen any thing worth while on the modern stage for many years; well, should you see any of these hard boiled eggs this week, tell 'em bout "Kid Jalvan." "Stompin' Around," the title of this weeks revue, stars the chorus ous Drake and Walker, is so well ay here would be repetition. How- w an expression which reveals an ancing. for the first time. Of course, it is not a surprise to learn of the particular pleasure one experiences in gazing attentively at this rhythmic, fascinating group of modern dancing maids. Their work is so fine that it is not possible to impress you to its real worth in words. Yet though, if you have heard the "Alhambra Orchestra" in a special ultra modern jazz dance number; and too, could imagine that their music alone would create a number of talented dance maids whose steps are timed and pitched to the ninth degree. I am sure you possess the ability that will enable you to enjoy the intoxicating atmosphere of the Alhambra stage. The cost is only that of the first drink. Try it, next time you are thirsty. "Freeman and McGinty" appear as aunty and neice; after seeing "Aunty" do her onions as the pious old lady, who happens to be just past sixty, I am almost convinced that jazz music was born in some little Southern church around the corner. Several of the stars who gained unusual applause last week are present again for your entertainment. D. Anchol. The Alhambra has a new chorus that is full o' pep and very easy on the eye—even at close range. And Miranda, of Miranda and Dandy, has the prettiest pair of dimpled knees. (Is that allowed?) Al Thomas is still representing Mahieu, and the costumes he has for Harper's Chocolate Music Box Revue are stunning no end. * * * Percy Colston, who sings and sheiks right down at the Lafayette this week, has a cute little better half who is holding her own with honors in Connie's Revue. * * * And speaking of handsome men, or as one of our out-of-town contributors put it, pulchritudinous sheiks, have you taken a good look at Joseph Chapman who is rehearsing with the Meek Mose Company. My! My! He is a former Baltimorian and one of the original Lafayette Players, but what is more to the point, he has that proper suave manner and the looks to set it off. * * * Ethel Waters, according to report, is wearing a gorgeous new diamond ring, the gift of those elegant Earl Dancers. They got a $2.50 top at Gibson's for her and as usual, she was a riot. You can't beat the Ethel. ★ ★ ★ William Edmonson of Marco Millions has the distinction of being the only member of the ensemble to be given a character name for the program. You could never locate him on the stage because he looks like all the other ofays; but in the Prologue he is one of the captains of the slaves and in scene 2 of act II, he is the magnificent creature who supervises the loading of the Royal Junk. * * * Anita Revere Small, the lovely wife of Danny Small is positively ravishing as a blonde. No, she has not dyed her hair; but in the Dance of the Dolls in the Chocolate Music Box Revue, she wears a blonde wig. And how* * * * Paul Meeres will be at Proctor's 125th Street this week.

Can't he pick winners? * * * Coleman Hawkins, the man who does the trick saxaphone work for Fletcher Henderson, has a magnificent apartment up on the Hill. And lest you get unduly excited, he has a very charming and talented wife. * * * And while we are on Fletcher, did you know that his nickname is "Smack"? Very appropriate.

The sudden and untimely death of little Miss Anna DeVeaux last Monday week, (Jan. 12th) filled us all with grief.. Miss Deveaux was one of the Savoy's popular cashiers, loved by us all. Sunny of disposition, with a pleasant smile and a friendly word for all, she proved a golden ray of sunshine that we now so sadly miss. The little girl was laid to rest last Sunday, after funeral services at Abbysinian Baptist Church, of which she was a member. * * * Well boys, have you visited our candy and cigarette counter lately? Say, there's the sweetest little child there you'll find anywhere on earth or in heaven for that matter. Let us introduce Miss Margaret Slaughter. Wait a minute lads, don't all rush to meet her at once. * * * Extra, Extra. One big nite and then another and that's all. Yep, Fletcher Henderson'll make your feet itch Saturday and Sunday this week end and how. Here's a treat that no Savoyite should miss. And don't forget to tell your friends, or they'll never forgive you for not doing so. * * * It's still a mystery why Rose Clark, the petite madamoiselle of our staff of charming hostesses, rides the subway all nite? Why Rose? If you don't let us in on the secret, we'll assign our operative Z49 to investigate. * * * Holly, Hollywood oh yes, now we remember. 'Twas just about this time last year that Hollywood came to New York and the Savoy. It was a case of if bringing the mountain to Mohamet. Watch this column and the Tattler for information of our coming "Movie Ball". ☆ ☆ ☆ Well friends the activities of our little voyagers has come to an end like the last page in the book. Yep, it was all a "Fairy Story" and like all such stories. our little heroines, Page, Ruth and Bea are living happily here in their own dear Harlem. * * * Say friend, have you attended our Tuesday Nite Tango affairs? By golly you don't know what you're missin' these days if you miss our Tuesday nite "Tango Parties". * * * Look out Mae Brown, you cute little sheba. "Too many pals and too many parties and the morning after. We're going to put our star operative, Z49, on your track and see what you do with all the broken hearts. * * * Pardon us if we are proud of our staff of beautiful hostesses. They are a wonderful set of young ladies, who never fall to make it pleasant for the lone knights of the nite. No wonder the sheiks swear by the Savoy. On Broadway The day has definitely passed when white performers will black up to take colored parts in firstclass productions. One is no longer surprised to see an attractive member of our group walking on and off stage for three acts and making one feel proud no end. On the other hand, great would be the consternation of both races if a made up Nordic came on to give no matter how good an imitation of his darker brother. At a recent production of Broadway, I was amused to see in the same program the names of Lee Tracy and Billy Pierce. Lee Tracy, I recalled, was the gentleman from Atlanta who predicted that a riot would ensue if Paul Robeson played in All God's Chillun. I wondered what his reactions had been to the instructions of the w. k. Billy Pierce who with John Boyle, staged the dances. And the routines were clever. I shall never see another floor show without thinking of the weenies who scraped and fought in the private party room of the Paradise Night Club and pranced out like sweet angels to smile and beguile the tired business man. THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE EAST EDNA THROWER is the possessor of a pleasing grace of manner which could not have failed to impress the directors who selected her for a character in "Women Go On Forever". The same week up in the Bronx, I saw Mary Boland in Women Go On Forever. It is playing the outlying houses preparatory to a Western tour. And with the company is Edna Thrower of the original Lula Belle Company. Tall, slender and easy to look upon, Miss Thrower makes up for a desolate and woe-begone maid of all work, who, after years of struggling to get a husband, has the misfortune to have him die on her hands four days after the marriage. She is the second person on the stage and her business continues to the end. Many are the laughs her plaintive tales draw from the audience and at the final curtain, she appears to take her bow.

THE N@eetare Terme | H-A-S-H ary Beau tee eps ke O strenuous Yuletide worn off those old and staid families of Brooklyn, when they were forced to wake up to the grim realization that a scion of. one of the first families—Mr. Hunton, an instructor at Howard University—had taken unto his bosom, to love, cherish and obey, one Miss Ethelyn Boyd, also a resi- dent of Brooklyn and late of Mil- Jer and Lyle’s Rang Tang. And, may I add for fear you do not own the information, that a man or woman posessing a first family de- gree from Brooklyn, is indeed not to be numbered with the folk of ordinary lineage. The Brooklyn- ites think so, if no outsiders will ever agree. Personally, I believe in everyone enjoying themselves in their own way. If the Brooklynites contend they are of the very, very best, it’s perfectly O. K. with me. But I will insert this honest con- viction that Brooklynites—“oians”, “tonians”, ‘“delphians” and “goians” are in the main traceable to the auction block and cotton fields and, barring the boys and girls who en- joy criminal records, it is nearly safe to say we are all on the same level. Why this nuptial has left a bad taste in the mouths of these dear old aristocrats I am unable to re- late—that is, the prime cause at any rate. It is essential to know these mortals who wear the first family stamp of Brooklyn and the divine importance associated there- with. Before this match was con- summated, there was apparently a conflict of interest, seeming to necessitate several postponements and calling for a lot of lobbying, conferences and negotiations to properly adjust and drown the heckling. It was not learned whether settlement was made or dower rights waived. At any rate, all are happy now—at least the bride and groom. As I aforesaid, Mr. Hunton be- longs to one of Brooklyn’s First Families, and I cannot impress upon you too forcibly that First Family business is a sizeable and serious business in Brooklyn. ~— Mr. Hunton’s father was the late Dr. William Hunton, who was In- ternational Y. M. C. A. Secretary, with such straight-laced connec- tions the First Family tag was the only label to put on him. And the young Mr. Hunton, who is looked upon by the old guard as the best man to carry the banner as per those airtight rules of First Family, seems to have tired in that uphill grind, and put banner, colors and all encumbrances aside in search THE NEWLY RENOVATED “WALKER STUDIOS are now available for all private occa- sions such as, Weddings, Banquets, Re- - ceptions, etc. Why worry about enter- . taining at home?

Scrotton, who, many decades ago, served on the Brooklyn School Board, Dr. White, a cultured old soul and a wealthy physician and who was the corner stone of that clan now known as the Mars, Lan- sings and the Petersons, who nec- essarily have all the prerequisites and traditions of First Family, and many others whom [ shall not have space to mention. However, £ can add, the remainder, in aggregate, couid be herewith recertea to as the descendants of many “fiscal agents”, which is inclusive of bank janitors, bank attendants, bank messengers and bank doormen: In other words, it seemed, to quality, one must necessarily be connected, though remotely, with the bank, in spite of the fact that the situation demanded that they start at the bottom. There is but one conclusion to account for the unrest that has taken charge of these F. F. Bs upon the receipt of the information that the Protessor had decided to go no further in this life without a mate, and that, I feel, was that the bride was unable to produce enough or any credentials of janitorial line- age on one side or the other. This, I conceive to be a most lamentable circumstance which would alone disqualify one from making a suit- able union with any- member of janitorial extraction. Other than these inexcusable shortcomings, I am certain the groom’s choice is perfectly O. K. with everyone else in this wide world. Brooklynites who are styled as first families have furnished this brand of amusement for numbers of years. It is far less annoying to put up with the unfounded “squawks” of the “sixty-niners” than to endure the bogus deduc- tions of the younger clan, who for some suspecting reason, you xcerdeit with a broader and more intelligible view point on the social order of things in these days. I am reminded here to tell of my first “trys” in the West—Chicago s the city I speak of. I was seek- ng to connect myself with one of the weekly journals and upon inter- viewing a gentleman who enjoys nuch prominence as an_ editor, writer and lecturer, he first in- juired from what part of the coun- ry I came. I told him I was from the East, to which he eplied, “My dear young man, you | vill find people‘ of the West quite lifferent in many respects from those of the East.” He continued, “You people of the East are more polished in your mannerisms, you have more finesse, etc.” This is attributed to the fact that in the days‘ of slavery, the good slaves, or well-behaved ones were kept around the big: house working in trusted capacities. When _ those pioneers due west across the con- tinent, they carried slaves who, to their former masters, were gooa riddance because they were indeed so unmanageable or incorrigible that the snake whip was no in- ducement for better order. Hence he (the editor) concludes that to- day in the East, we have in the main offsprings of well-behaved slaves, and in the West we have offsprings of a rather ill-behaved set. This creates that difference which we find today between men and women of the East and West. To this analysis I made no reply, but thought it very well put. The above will not hold to the letter, but will certainly cover the great majority. The bride and groom are natives of the East and that is as far as you might safely go in lineage. Eloise Bibb Thopmson Harlem has paused in its dizzy whirl to mourn the pass: ing of Eloise Bibb Thompson, wife of Noah D. Thompson, busi- ness manager of “Opportunity”. |A lady of literary genius, she was welcomed with opened arms by the writing group of the com- munity. But it is not of her ability which.has been so ably proven by her short stories, plays, and scenarios that 1 would tell you, but rather of the picture she has left in my me- mory, and of the beauty of her character which it was my priv: ilege to see. No greater affliction could a writer have than to be unable to see to write. Yet, for years Mrs. Thompson’s sight was in- adequate for the work she loved. She had to protect her eyes to the utmost, lest they fail her completely, and each day forced her to depend more and more upon others for her heading and writing. But in the face of such agony, she remained sweet tem pered and gracious. Since her coming to New York, I have never heard a com- plaint or peevish remark pass her lips. Many a day she has stopped by to urge me to try, new and more difficult tasks, to admonish me to take care of my eyes or get more rest. She was always kind, thoughtful of others and gentle, never once parading her own worth or be- | wailing the fate that so cruelly andicapped her. I loved, most of all, to hear her make an afterdinner speech. She could think of the most ap propriate and pleasing phrases and her delivery was sincere and simple, She was a true lady and al- though her life is ended, her fineness and gentleness we stil) have to cherish and love.

Roy—Paris) What is Fashion? How many and varied are the answers we have heard to this oft-repeated inquiry. On one point, however, we are all agreed—it must be “le dernier cri’. “The last ery”, the French drama- tically say, but we Americans calm- ly translate the phrase “the last word”. We have Fashions not only in dress, but in all aspects of our lives—in manners, amusement, edu- cation, music and business. Histor- ians, who study nations and peo- ples realize that Fashions are the truest estimate of a civilization— they show how people feel, what people want and those ideals and ambitions for which they are striv- ing. Is Fashion in dress all stuff and nonsense and does it merely express women’s vanity and conceit in want- ing to outshine al] her friends and neighbors? The best answer 1 know to this is another question. ‘Would you as an individual like to wear for the rest of your life a nice, well-cut Hoover apron-dress? Why, my dear, just think how prac- tical that would be—you would save so much time and never have to bother as to how you would make that rose taffeta evening gown you want to wear at the ball next Satur- day evening. Don‘t worry—I know your answer and my answer and the answer of every other woman. Who in the world would want to live in a place where all the wom- en wore sensible Hoover apron- dresses?

Of medium height and size, a smooth and taut-tallizing brown, with unusual light tawny eyes and coal black hair, Mine. Cato possesses a marvelously soothing soprano voice, clear as a heill and as vivid as the lady's charming personality. Her academic training was done in Little Rock, where, after completing her musical studies at the Washington Conservatory of Music, she returned to teach school. Later she tried being a school ma'm in Athens, Georgia, but finally had to admit that she could be of more service to her race by using her natural gifts and began her concert work. She has been the head soprano of Bethel Church Choir in Detroit where her family now lives, a favorite with Keith and Orpheum, and has spent a year among the islands, on the Tivoli or Williamson Taitt circuit. On her return from abroad, she landed on the western coast, and Chicago was one of her first stops. She appeared in August at the Metropolitan and while filling that engagement., was booked by the Whitman Sisters for their 1928 Revue. Mime. Cato came East with them to play New York, Philadelphia and Washington. But New York has been selected as her permanent headquarters. To listen to Mme. Cato's recital of travels is to take a trip abroad. In Australia, she has seen the aborigines on the Oasis in the desert, has thrown money and clothing to them from her car windows and has marvelled at their nudity, filth and savagery. At Suva, the capital of Fiji, she saw the finest specimens of manhood and watched the islanders comb the towering masses of wool that decorate their heads and of which they are so proud. In Apia and Ragopago, the beautiful Samoans mistook her for a native and tried to persuade her to live in the house of a powerful chief. The Samoans she called peacocks. Beautiful of color and line, they were perfect until she glanced at their broad and flat feet. At Maui, she was entertained by Judge Crackett and while in Honolul was the guest of Mrs. Norrell Smith. But in Australia, the natives were most surprised. White propagandists have led the people to believe that all Negroes are crude, uneducated and ugly. So how could they fit into that picture—a talented and attractive woman. Miluna Cato is a clever lady. She knows the art of dressing becomingly; she is matress of a naturally beautiful voice; she succeeds in keeping her weight at one place; she has accompany herself for her stage work, but best of all, she is known enough to laugh, dance and make sorry and gracious enough to be pleasant company on all occasions. Friday, January 20: 1928 * * * * * * --- ```markdown ``` And on the newsstands has arrived a sixty page monthly magazine—March of Events—the official organ of the Metropolitan Bureau of Public Relations, Inc. It stands, according to its cover, for a wiser, richer, stronger, healthier and safer ccolored America and its slogan is Progress. The sixty pages of editorials, news, feature articles, theatricals and book reviews are offered for fifteen cents. It has no editor, associate editor or business manager, but in their places are a president, R. Anderson Lowe, who wrote the two editorials of the first issue; a vice-president, Maceo Smith; a general salesmanager, Frank L. Hailstolk, Jr., and a head of Department of Research and Market Analysis, Herbert Boyd. According to one of its officers, the general policy of the magazine is as follows: Editorial comment or events affecting the Race, general news, and data on the Negro market. The stock is said to be controlled by Negroes and the venture backed by white capital. As for the publication itself, it is attractive but has little if any new matter to offer to its reader. Even the one feature article by William Pickens is a reprint from "Opportunity". While no doubt one or two items may be new to all readers, I doubt if any considerable amount of circulation can be secured for late news. Its amount and class of advertisements are splendid and distributed throughout the book rather than grouped at the front and back. The make-up is a bit complicated due to the fact that there are too many continuations of the articles of any length. The organization back of the magazine is an outgrowth of the Lowe Public Relations Bureau of Chicago. Its card reads "Metropolitan Bureau of Public Relations, Inc., Publicity Directors, News Syndicators, Publishers, Newspapers Advertising Representatives. Appropriation Managers". The home office is in the Times Building on Broadway. Its object is to analyze the Negro market in order to better handle national advertisers among Negroes in their own mediums. "In accord with the General Policy, the New York office will publish monthly on the first Tuesday in each month, its official Organ known as "The March of Events", dedicated to the On-Ward March of the American Negro Commercially, Fraternally, Religiously". Bon voyage. While roaming around on the third floor of the 135th Street Branch of the Public Library, Lady Nicotine discovered a mask which is used by the Masonic Order of West Africa which is called the Poro Society.

The final arrangements were made for the editing of the report and plans laid for the carrying out of the Elks' future health program. As you may know, the general purpose of the Commission is to press fold—first its aim is to put before the public a true statement of harm in respect to the health of Negroes; second, it offers a solution for conditions as found and it sounds a general warning to American people. The main problem of the commission has been to put to rest the false statements regarding the health of Negroes. The Ellis approves $5,000 for this work and every phase of public health has been made in more than 50 percent colored.

They may be the result of unnatural use of the muscles of the face, but oftimes the lack of their use causes flabbiness. Muscles sinking below their level and allowing the skin to fall with them, will bring wrinkles. A pleasant smile keeps the muscles raised. A discouraged, discontented expression tends to draw the muscles down. Be cheerful, keep smiling, do not worry, do not squint, do not draw the eyes together in close work, and do not think thoughts that would not sound well if put in words. In other words, practice constructive thinking. Drink plenty of water, live as much as possible in the fresh open air, sleep at least eight hours out of twenty-four To keep beautiful and avoid wrinkles the muscles of the face must be toned and invigorated. This can be done by frequent massaging. The wrinkle forming habit can be counteracted by pulling a piece of court-plaster over the lines in the forehead to prevent the rise and fall of expression.

He gressive Philadelphia T one that the sport world an at this crucial period, can ill passing of this promising yo little noticed by the general undoubtedly one of our most experts and a qualified auth athletics. But the Aframeri have not yet come to fully writers and his meritorious be forgotten by the many. Death of John Howe Will Prove a Big Loss THE death of John M. Howe, sports editor of the progressive Philadelphia Tribune, is a national loss and one that the sport world and the journalistic profession. Howe entered the newspaper game about four years ago and made good from the start. He naturally took to sports writing and his athletic training and associations at Lincoln University, where he matriculated, proved of tremendous value. Fortunately for him, the Tribune people fully appreciated the value of accurate and well featured sport news and on being convinced of Howe's ability, gave him complete charge of the sport pages. And what's more, they went in for it big and in the right way. There in lies the secret of the appeal of sport news to the public. It must be accurate as well as well written and presented. But John Howe was fully able to do the work and the growth of the Tribune's circulation was due in no little measure to the ever growing army of Howe sport news readers. He was undoubtedly one of the best if not the best authority on intercollegiate and amateur athletics and was an able exponent of things pugilistic. He, of all the many, knew a left jab from a right cross and when a fighter was winning or being whipped. The Tribune was hard hit in the untimely death of this young feature writer. They will find it a difficult matter to replace him, for competent sport writers among our group are as scarce as hen's teeth. But his passing will be felt, not only by the Tribune, but by the entire Aframerican journalistic and sport world, for by such as he, the public will be forced to respect the writers of the Race and our publications. Edwards and Simms Phil Edwards, running the last leg of the Intercollegiate one mile relay at the Fordham indoor track and field meet, at the 22nd Engineer's Armory, Saturday night, cinched first place for New York University. The speedy colored athlete crossed the line with about sixty yards to spare over his Fordham rival, who, in turn, led the Lafayette runner by some ten yards. Then, just to make it a perfect evening for his Alma Mater, Phil again anchored the N. Y. U. medley relay team and romped home in front of the pack. In this race, the runners from each institution stepped the quarter, two-twenty, and eight-eighty yards with Phil running the last leg of a mile, for New York University. Herbert Simms, Stuyvesant High School's hundred yard dash star, placed third in the 25th annual high school track and field meet, Brooklyn, last Friday night. The Stuyvesant flash, once the king of schoolboy short distant runners, seems to have lost much of his old form for during the past year, he has failed to win in a major meet. Ira Singer (white) copped the honors in the fair time of ten and two-fifths seconds with Walter Harris, (white) placing second. Singer carried the colors of New Utrecht to victory and Harris scored the place for Boy's High. They tossed Canada Lee, Harlem's junior welterweight, a tough one in Andy Divodi, welter contender, last Saturday night at the Olympia A. C. and although Lee was defeated, he lost fighting every second of the six-round engagement. The first round was Canada's by a fair margin. He jarred Divodi several times with snappy rights. The second was fairly even but it was plain that Divodi had about sized up Lee and was ready to launch a counter attack. The third found Lee reeling under some hard smacks to the head. He rallied each time but Andy was now the master. The fourth session was a stormy one for Canada. Divodi used a stiff left very effectively and crossed several hard rights. Lee was also in trouble in the fifth and lost much of his speed but was always dangerous. Several times the white boy stung him but he came back gamely each time. Canada made a desperate attempt to win by a knockout in the sixth and last round and managed to hold Andy even. In the six round semi-final, Bobby Nelson, lightweight, was given the best of a draw decision in his bout with Billy Grimes (white), Australian light and welterweight champion. This bout was a stubbornly contested affair and Nelson was lucky to get a draw. Captain Hilt Slocum's fast stepping Rennaisance Big Five swamped Swede Olson's Professionals at the Renaissance Casino last Sunday night, by the lop-sided score of 76-42. The visitors started off like they intended to make quick work of the home five. Olson's Swedes got the jump on Bob Douglas' boys and in the first five minutes cored three baskets in rapid succession. But after that, it was all Renaissance. Georgie Fial, "Fats" Jenkins, Eyre Saitch and "Pappy" Ricks, speeded up and taking the play away from the invaders, led at the end of the first half by 15 points. The score at the end of this period was Renaissance. 42. Olson's Swedes, 27.

The subject of interior decoration, the most universal of the arts as well as the most intimate of the arts should inspire a serious interest in every one of our young men and women; for the art of Interior Decoration concerns itself chiefly with the home in which we express our individuality, taste and personality. To bring beauty into the home is the lofty ideal and definite purpose of Interior Decoration. Often, perhaps, have we visited the homes and apartments of friends expecting to gaze on the singular beauty of a modern home interior and reluctantly have realized that we were disappointed to find a cold, and stiff, ordinary and cheaply decorated place; where, apparently someone found it convenient to eat and sleep a few hours daily. The study of our Interior Decoration course should make an interesting appeal not only to the homemaker, but to every cultured person. An interest beyond the ordinary limits of general information should be inspired by this subject. With an innate regard for the beautiful as well as the cultural values to be found in the study of interior decoration, the subject should affect a deeper and fuller appreciation, understanding, and enjoyment of the artistic. The subject at hand has a very practical value in the planning, furnishing, and decorating of your home. In addition to the cultural advantages, a broad knowledge of the principles of interior decoration should enable you to create for others as well as yourself a home of charm and destination that bespeaks in telling decorative language your cultivation in every possible detail. An understanding of what is artistically correct in the selection of furniture, draperies, rugs and accessories; and appreciation of what is scientifically correct in color harmony and contrast, should not only save you hundreds of dollars, but heighten your social prestige. Should you desire a career of worthwhile service to your community you may enter the field or interior decoration without fear of failure and become financially independent in a few years. Interior decoration is one of the few modern professions that offer so many An intelligent housewife would not wait until she had saved $300.00 before she would take out a $1,000.00 life insurance policy. But she would wait until she had saved $300.00 that she might buy her furniture in a strictly cash furniture store and thereby save a few hundred dollars. interesting, delightful opportunities for honestly gained wealth. You will find in the study of our course that interior decoration is a highly artistic, profitable vocation for your spare time should you not care to devote all of your time in the practice of the profession. Attractive positions await you in cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore; in fact in any city where there is a large number of our group, furniture and department stores are forced to recognize the request of their patrons for such services. There is no other field where the demand for qualified service is as great as that in interior decoration. The subject of interior decoration embraces the whole story on mankind's endeavors to surround itself with that which is beautiful. Generations upon generations have been greatly moved to, action by these very impulses, they have created furniture and furnishings of surprising art value; their works may be seen in any of the popular museums of the world where they are placed on view for posterity, thousands of creations which our popular craftsmen have copied and adopted to our modern needs. The complete "interior decoration" course of forty lessons which will be published each week in the columns of this publication beginning February 3rd, has been carefully planned and arranged. Anyone of ordinary intelligence may realize his or her ambition by devoting only a few hours' study each week to the lessons. No other books or information will be necessary to complete your training. On completion of the course you may if you so desire write us for a questionnaire which will be corrected and returned to you with a certificate of proficiency.

It seems as though every time I send through a good character, you mutilate him or her in some way or other. In last week's issue, one of my men came back to me so disfigured I didn't know him myself. I sent you Charles Celsan, a young colored gentleman engaged in the banking business on Pennsylvania Avenue and you send me back Charles Olson, a white Norwegian musician who plays jazz, and I won't even talking about music. Old Charley knows a lot of nice girls in New York and I wanted them to know he is really strong with the bucks, but I don't think they will recognie the Olson stuff. If you can't read my writing, anticipate me sometimes at least. Billious From BA Dear Bill: Just picked up my pencil to you told. It seems as through a good character, you way or other. In last week's back to me so disfigured I did you Charles Celsan, a young in the banking business on I send me back Charles Olson who plays jazz, and I won't of Charley knows a lot of niwanted them to know he is but I don't think they will you can't read my writing, least. Roually though, what I wanted to take up with you was the matter of an editorial in last week's issue captioned "The Ebony Idea". In one place there you tell people about buying more Tattlers and becoming intelligent. I don't know whether or not you meant that for me, but as a matter of fact, I have become lots more intelligent since I have been reading the Tattler. My intelligence has grown with such leaps and bounds that I know it was something left out of last Week's book. You had half donated to the Fraternities and Sororities, but you failed to explain that latest Greek letter Sorority lately organized in New York. I heard about that bogus sorority way down here. In fact, I even have some of the names of the dames. It seems to me that you must be running with one of those broads or else you would let the public know about this Greek "Restaurant" Sorority. They tell me that three of the members never got any further in school than "Mother Goose", that another one thinks a Greek letter is a zwatiska, and another one's knowledge of Greek is confined to Greek John, the hot dog man. Now if you are going to have a magazine, have it in the right way and stop fooling around. How much are they paying you, anyway? Spanking of sororities, I might mention that one of them had their annual "brawl" in Baltimore. I think the name of it is Phil Delta Kappa. Anyway, they were here from all over the country, even from "Pugginin". They met at the Sharp Street Memorial Community House and arranged the program for the Negro race for the next year. After the program was read and adopted, officers were elected to carry it through after which the Annual Dance was held at the Elks' Hall. I was permitted to come to the dance and I must say it was quite a treat for the out of town girls to meet us nicely follows. By the way, I saw quite a few of the New York chapter there. I remember seeing Miss Gortruda Herbert. You know who I mean—the one whoo picture was in that group on the back of the Tuttiar. I saw two other girls whoo pictures were in that group but I never had a chance to introduce myself to them, so I don't know their names. However, I didn't see that fat girl who was sitting on the end of the sofa in the picture, but I guess they will let her delegate herself next year, and if I know where the convention is to be and if I am in that town, and am invited again, after all of the invitations are out, I will see all of them, if they are there. But really, I must say the girls had a wonderful dance and some of them well most of them, looked naturally shining. Of course some of them were sad, but as Mountain keeps saying, "everything is relative", and if the sad looking ones were not there, you could not tell what the other girls looked like because you would have nothing to "relative" them up against. To use a sorority word, it would be in the "abstract". I think I told you last week or sometime about Dr. and Mrs. Brown's daughter's debutante party THE NEW YORKER Little ANNIE BROWN, the talented daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Harry Brown whose wonderful voice thrills Baltimore. that was imminent. You know, as I told you, Dr. and Mrs. Brown did not want their daughter to come out by way of the Half Century Club for fear that if the young Miss should debate there, she might stay on their hands for years to come or perhaps marry a Chicago bank clerk, either of which would be bad. The Half Century blew up, or caved in, this year and did not hold its annual "toe crushing" so little Miss Brown's debate was moved up six months and held at her own home at the time when the Half Century participants usually started olling up for the big parade. The debauchant party came in the form of an at home and from what I can understand it was worked out with mathematical precision. It seems as if the guests were lined up just like soldiers are for mass and were marched right in. Introduced and marched right out again. For speed, accuracy and protection, this debauchant party holds all world records. If you want your daughter to make her debaunt in Baltimore, bring her down here next Christmas and you can use my front steps and in this way the guests won't even have to come in the house. Sometimes ago, I read some bogus cracks in "Brass Tacks" about Baltimore going to the dogs. He said (and I assume he is a he, because he further said that he is not the MAN upstairs he used to be), the Royal Palace Hotel wasn't the house of joy it was when he was "pan handling" around Baltimore. While I admit practically every allegation he made is true, I simply want to let him know that the name of the place has been changed to the Penn Hotel, has been reorganized and renamed, and that all of those signed checks he left here have been done away with. Besides this, last week the dining room had a new grand opening and it is now possible to get an even break in the Salon Mange. The dining room is now in charge of former Sgt. Archie Ford of the three hundred fifty-first field artillery, which was never able to get close enough to the Germans to be caught by a German shell. Anyway, Sgt. Ford did not learn how to cook in the army. I tell you this to keep you from being discouraged. He was there because he had to be there and while he was there he thought he might as well be a sergeant because some opportunity at some time might present itself in the form of a crap game and he would automatically be able to cut the game, being a gorgeant. Sgt. Ford got some of his start out at the Baltimore Club and after he was started, he traveled extensively. He visited all parts of Pittsburg and saw so many people in his travels eating, he thought the food business should be a good business. Consequently, or subsequently, he made arrangements with the Penn Hotel to take over the culinary department, which he did last week, and for the first time since Chef Gerald, the standby in days of which "Brass Tucks" speaks of, the Penn Hotel had a real, honest-to-goodness meal served in the house. You would be surprised how much work fifty cents will do since Archie took the place over. Sgt. Ford will drill you a meal in there for six bits that would make the Chef at the Belvedere Hotel burst out crying. If he keeps his battery at attention and does not have too many, desertions he should be as pat as Bob Pratt by this time next year. Counsellor Everett Lane, who used to hold down the dog watch on many of the lake steamers years ago before he started misunderstanding the law, has lately made it known that he is still a seafaring man. According to the counsellor he has been navigating his bark on the sea of matrimony for some time. He has just let it leak out that sometime ago he took into himself Miss Catherine Johnson to be his wife until death them do part. Considering the manner in which he stood the rough waters of Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie and the Drudd Hill Park boat lake it looks like he should be an easy rider on the sea of matrimony. Bye bye, P. S. I forgot to tell you that Dr. D. Grant Scott married Miree Florence Brown on Christmas Eve night. Her brother, Anthony came down from New York to play the bride away, but arrived too late. However, she was "gave" away. Rams Swamp Swedes (Continued from Page 11) century mark, Georgia Kill won the brilliant, spectacular markman. It smacked me if all the bad to do was lose the big old somewhere near the basket, and only mysterious force would carry it in, Georgia missed one shot out of ten, successfully dropping the other nine through the front bump. Bruce Whips Burns Bruce Flowers easily outlapped and won every one of the six rounds from Hobby Burns, Brownville Lightweight at the New Hildawood Grove Sporting Club, last Saturday night. Bruce hammered his final almost at will, but did not try for a KO. Using a long bewildering left, Bruce kept his willing rival at a distance until he himself elicited to come in close and slug. The Brownville slugger was game but completely outclassed at every style of milling. Flowers at Olympic Henry Flowers, New Hampshire shirtly lightweight contender, will meet Eddie Eklinton (white), in a third bout at the New Olympia A. C. this Saturday night. Those bouts put up two great bouts in their previous matches and the result was close each time. Brass Tacks WASHINGTON, D. C. AS that unregenerate fellow, Hash, has remarked, last year made tough sledding for any number of us, and it was a hard up-hill fight. However, I submit here that the ancient mariner who writes under the greasy name in a bawdy person and a lost soul to boot in that he takes his drinking too seriously. I would not have my flock corrupted by that gloomy personage who, when he lamps a bottle heaving in sight feels that duty calls him to doff his brazier, take up a notch in his belt and wade into the enemy with the solemn air of a pious deacon rolling one eye upward in fervent prayer while the other is cocked longingly at a sweet mamma across the aisle. I dish my colleague this severe reprimand to call your attention to high comedy and the hearty belly laughs that the old year left in its wake. With its last expiring breath 1927 raised the curtain on a scene at the Capital Country Club at which Miss Lillian Tanner squared off to entertain a sweet friend of here of the medical profession. Now Lillian knows, and you know, what it takes to make a party. And you know that if any of the things necessary are not there the party is likely to be a blanket. Well Lillian had the guests, and the better thinking part of the guests brought their drinkables. But somehow the orchestra was missing. And I am hopping that for the last time in the history of the world the old year disclosed to our startled eyes a large party being pitched on canned music. Of course you know that Reggie Brandon is back in town after giving New York a brief play. Well Reggie, for some reason, is living at the house of Brandon on Third and John Street, while Bertha is yet holds forth at the Windsor where the traffic is likely to be most anything. Not even the fact that Bertha tolls for Mortimer Harris, who collects dues from the Windsor driver is likely to make things any better. Anyhow, when Gritche Porter, Robby Lewis, and occasionally the Shop Judge Cuthy wish to put on a little splendor in the Windsor Reggie is compliments by his presence. When the old year developed with many young out for a little enter- tainment at his home on New Street according to Howard Barker and George Gray, Bill repaired the boys and their wives and sweet- hearts with wild chicken, and they climbed that wild chicken with an unanticipated curiosity in that it had one leg, nine wives and sweetheart wives. Then Bill climbed to have seen several more wives, but due to his known antiquity in the fu- milary corn field it is safe to do that anything he says by sixty per cent. As the old year passed on the treat of infliction Miss Edna Brave, in charming prince window, wended her way into the ranks of higher learning by leading Prof. Hansberry to the altar, and there promising to bear with him until death done them part. Now Edna is a nice girl and deserves a good break, and I am sure that the Prof. will give her a square deal. However, I have no doubt that she will be able to govern the situation. The early crushers who tried to Omecker Comnely the Dutch wrist are still bruising. Vance is yetting because he did not, due to my master, get full credit for his assault and battery on the English language, and at being tangleled up with Van Taylor. To the credit of Van, it must be said that he knew his knives and sparks it. On the other hand when Vance gets a strangle hold on a verh, he can twist it and put whole paragraphs into the shape of prose your mind for you. From the material we can send up loud harmonies that the master hoofclips functioned all the year with their uncommon skill. Washington as we have not been reduced to drinking such ammonials as top and bottom, Baltimore doubled. ```markdown ``` Tacks BINGTON, D. C. Your Wasted Away ow, Hash, has remarked, last ing for any number of us, and However, I submit here that tates under the greasy name in soul to boot in that he takes would not have my block con- nage who, when he lamps a that duty calls him to doff his his belt and wade into the of a pious deacon rolling one er while the other is cooked across the aisle. I dish my and to call your attention to belly laughs that the old year --- canned local, damascus ginger, ketchup, Rub, or even hay corn. But as Mr. Mencken remarked there are almost as many bootleggers here as there are customers, and ginger is so cheap that it is hard for a gentleman of the profession to make a living. Sound corn blender is to be had on every corner, and the local distillers here make a gin which, with the aid of a little orange juice and a little more imagination, can hardly be told from goods from the famous house of Gordon. What is more, they are gradually perfecting their art, and the knowing blender settles in to put up with unpleasant drinks. Yet there are no wines to be had, and the best beer is from Baltham more, but for our whose craving is for an old fashioned hummer and aprice, it is possible to lay down to your very comfort with speed and safety. I am too good a sport to set up a howl about the morning after. I had headaches in the old day from Cincinnati, Ohio, Martinsburg and from cocktails from Charleston, cherry and gin and wine, and from beer and malted house and everything in the repertoire of the finished and traveled tapers. The old year put Mr. Status Byers in charge of the Mitchman chain of theatres, which is something to be thankful for in this man's town where good shows evidently see the small pos signs hanging out. Now over this week twenty Wineglass brought a group to the Howard that could really trick 'em down. There was a boy in the company with us and a tutor as his curressed my cars for many moons, and good-looking gals, gentlemen that could dance like a house on fire. And the tall comedian who played the melodram gave us fine an exhibition of clowning as I have seen lately drunk or sober. In order to prevent our devout customers from leading snubbed, I call your attention to the grand little bustle put on by the St. George O. Stallock, D.D., and shepherd to all and Sunday who are attempting to evade a horrible herafter by hiding out in the Third Baptist Church, The Staverand had been married twenty-five years and figured he deserved some reward for his patience, during the holidays, the Staverand pitched a silver anniversary which netted him more silver than a Jewish pewshop. When you consider that the kind, cake and cream for the anniversary were furnished by the congregation, and reduced the overhead to nothing, the Staverand did right well, I thank you.

The program has been approved by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the American Public Health Association of which Dr. W. F. Walker is held director, the United States Public Health Commission and the National Medical Association. It has won for the reason the respect and applause of the entire country and has been a powerful factor in placing it at the top of international organizations. About the man who heads this great work, much could be said. He was born in Jefferson City, Missouri, educated at the Lincoln Institute, the State School of Michigan Howard University and the University of Colorado. He spent six years at Freedman's Hospital and for six years was superintendent of Kansas City General Hospital. Through his efforts, General Hospital was turned over to a colored staff and converted into one of the show places of the race. He is the handsome father of two beautiful baby girls and aside from his numerous interests, finds time to maintain a private practice. On his way home, he will visit Chicago, Cleveland and other medical centres. Another feature of the great reqiime of Finley Wilson is his Educational program, headed by Judge Hueston. Last year the department issued scholarships to twenty-three students; this year it added twenty-three more to the list and in February will issue a few additional scholarships. The Oratorical Contest for 1923 will be held in May, the place to be designated later. $1,000 in prizes will be presented to the winners of the final contest and scholarships will go to the sectional winners.
