THE WAR ON SIDENOSIS HE dream of universal peace will never become a reality until its advocates lay off harassing statesmen and diplomats and spend an equal amount of time and energy cooperating with doctors. The reason is plain. Statesmen are only human like the rest of us, hence they are subject to the same distempers, germs and malaises that afflict the lower orders of men. Indeed, since most statesmen are men of advancing years, they are even more subject to illness than the bulk of humanity, and this condition throws the settlement of delicate international problems in the hands of sick men. It is a well established fact that most sick men are irascible, grouchy and inclined to look at the world with a suspicious eye. Some are hopeless hypochondriacs. A foreign minister getting up in the morning with a dull headache and a sad taste in the mouth is likely to consider the most innocuous note an affront to the honor of his country and reply to it with an ultimatum that will provoke war. Obviously, the first step toward preventing war is to prevent foreign ministers from getting up with headaches, and the way to prevent foreign ministers from getting up with headaches is to pitch in for all we're worth and help the doctors banish sickness from the world. The real war to end war is the war on disease. The doctors themselves have been aware of this fact since time beyond memory and every medical man from Hippocrates to Wiley Wilson has waged a hitter and incessant war on that condition of the body which authorities assure us, is the mother of all diseases; namely, sanguosis of the grand gut that extends from the duodenum to the fundament. In plainer words—but perhaps we shall hitter not employ plainer words. Besides we can explain what we mean by describing a few instances of bedside practice. Take your own family physician. It is a ten to one shot that the first thing he does after pocketing this fee is to send out for a bottle of citrate magnesia. If he happens to be a man of a sour and misanthropic disposition he will purge his patients with huge draughts of epsom salt. It is a matter of common knowledge that the doctors of the A. E. F. kept down mutiny in the Army by feeding the men C. C. pills and lubricating their insides with castor oil. The instances cited above make it clear that doctors are unanimously agreed that keeping the grand canal free of toxic residue is the first essential of perfect health. The same instances make it equally clear that the medicines vary widely in their methods of treatment. Furthermore every method thus far devised by physicians to cleanse the carcass contains a drawback which makes the remedy almost as bad as the malady. The dry cleaning system of scouring the intestines with aloin, bram, grain husks and other fodder bruises the uvula to such an extent that it soon becomes unable to distinguish either the savor of food or the flavor of drink. On the other hand the flush system of imbibing magnesia and Pluto Water hegets a state of chronic nausea which makes it almost impossible to coax even the most delicate viands past the tonsils. Worst of all is the mechanical method of flooding the colon known to the profession as irrigation. This form of treatment is by no means painful nor even unpleasant, but it is frightfully unesthetic and hence fatal to dignity and self respect. No man picturing himself sprawled out like a sheep for quartering, with an unsightly rubber tube inserted in his anatomy, can recover his poise in less than a week; and a man without poise, everybody knows, is almost as dangerous to society as a man without health. To many, we trust, these paragraphs will reveal doctors in a new light, showing them to be more tenail snippers and fee collectors but a hand of harrier men who are waging relentless war on that mainly which either causes or aggravates all other maladies. Thus for their efforts have not been rewarded with complete success. Men of less courage and fortitude would have maintained the fight ages ago. But the doctors fight on. One anglery physician assures us that he, for one, is determined to fight this war on stenosis to the bitter end, even if he has to sacrifice the last one of his wife's relatives. ```markdown ``` The Tattler's College of Physicians and Surgeons This issue was edited by the husband of our Managing Editor; he is a physician. The Night Hawk, that Uptown New Yorker, is the son of a physician. Lady Nicotine is the wife of a physician. Stagestruck lives with a doctor. The Father of Miss Coolbreeze of Quakertown is a Philadelphia surgeon. * * * An opinion persists that Up town New York has a justifiable reason to be proud of her medical profession. Before the War, a rumor was prevalent throughout the land that the status of the average Harlem physician left much to be desired. The short sojourn of the Ninety-second Division and other units at this port of embarkation during the war, so impressed various officers of the medical personnel that not a few, upon return and subsequent release from the service, decided that such an evidently fertile field should not be neglected. These men were of high ideals, energetic and brilliant. Soon afterward, the opening of hospital interneships in Bellevue and later in Harlem Hospitals brought to the city other capable Negro young gentlemen of medical talent. The fight of the Harlem practitioner has not been free from difficulties. Suspicion and ignorance have been his enemies. On almost every side street were men whose pale faces stamped them to some Harlemites as specialists. It did not once occur to these simple minded folk that the clinging on for dear life's sake of these men in a Negro community gave positive evidence of their inferiority, and was an admittance that they could not make the grade among the progressives of their own kind. Merit, however, could not be denied. Most of these men have been forced out of the running. Physicians of colour, of superior learning and technique, have increased from around thirty in number to a hundred or better. Most are connected with hospitals; most are active members of the various medical societies. None agree with a certain non-Aframerican practitioner who advised a medical book agent, "I do not perceive the advisability of purchasing new literature to practice on these niggers." * * * Did you know there were colored schools in New York City at one time? Harlem's oldest practitioners attended them. See page 8. How many Harlem physicians are in the clinics of downtown hospitals. Check up on our Who's Who of Harlem Physicians, page 9. # This excellent presentation of the Harlem Physicians to our public is the mere beginning of the many features that the Inter-State Tattler intends to produce.

THE old, old story is embodied in the following incident: The master of the house of a certain uptown apartment has been anything but content with the obvious anything but content with the obvious pleasure his lady derived from dancing with one of the most youthful and dashing of Harlem's medicos. This esteemed gentleman's spouse has ever and anon enjoyed his implicit confidence. Nevertheless, very recently the uptowner purchased a barrel of apples. IT has been disclosed that for some inexplicable reason the expectant mother, upon her introductory visit to her physician, and although in consultation for no other reason, exercises great pains to conceal her great expectations. Her ill-disguised blushes are very frequently his sole clues. Evasively she emphasizes a headache or perhaps a pain in her right ankle; her right tonsil is bothering her or there is a ringing in her left ear. The man of science immediately recognizes the type and without further delay begins the history taking. He elicits admission after admission; the diagnosis unfolds itself.

Princess Theatre, 39th Street west of Broadway. Those driving down, park in 38th Street-39th Street is reserved for the ritzy opera cars and their chauffeurs. The Meek Inherit Oil Lester Walton, the veteran idealist of the Negro theatre, has made another commendable effort to bring our stage in focus with Negro life. His medium is "Meek Mose", a farce by Frank Wilson who is now playing the title role in "Porgy". The play is a step, but by no means a leap, up from a lower to a higher form of theater, hence inevitably contains many of the weaknesses of both forms. All that can be said for it, all that needs be said, is that it is encouraging—as the first steps of a baby attempting to walk are encouraging. The play is a development of one of the remarks of that very humorous man, Jesus of Nazareth, who once told an audience that the meek shall inherit the earth, leaving off the significant phrase, six feet of it. Meek Mose is merely the nominal hero of the piece. The real leading character is the Lord of Hosts, whom one Mr. Harmon, a white man, represents by proxy. The villian is the well known Satan, represented by off stage bad white folks. The hard whites, i. e., Satan, compel Mose and his followers to move from their homes in a desired part of the town to unhealthful quarters in the "gut", thereby playing into the hands of Jehovah who knew all along that the "gut" was rich with oil and that its discovery would make Mose wealthy and a stomping fool. I don't think the play will go so forty with the sepia element. The scene of the plaly, I hasten to add, is in Texas. Certain sophisticated theater goers were heard to observe they wished it had been acted there. Unfortunately it was not, and an audience including Europe's foremost producer and America's best dressed mayor had the distinction of seeing the best acting ever presented by the dramatic club of the Ladies' Missionary Society of Ebenezer Baptist Church. Only a few members of the company were out of key, notably, Laura Bowman, who handled the role of Josephine like she was acting in a New York theater, and Charles Moore, who failed to realize that the director had staged the piece with the idea of producing a miniature mardi gras. Lawrence Criner didn't quite get the hang of the thing either and persisted in playing his part like a professional actor. At times, when her work veered close to the melodramatic.

ARTISTIC THINGS FOR YOUR VANITY TABLE Your Baby's Toys are not Complete without a Colored Doll Our Models Are Durable Musical Column WHAT is it to be really musical? When you have music in your heart and head. --- Much to my delight, as well as many others, I had the long talked of pleasure of hearing Chauncey Northern. On Tuesday evening, Jan. 31st, 1928, the young aspiring tenor was heard in his initial recital at Steinway Concert Hall. Because of Mr. Northern's youth I doom it rather unfair to pass sovere criticism on an art practically in its infancy. Possibly, after years of diligent musical training, Mr. Northern will be better prepared to meet with the critical demands of the present musical audiences. --- We might question Mr. Northern's program arrangement but aside from that a pleasing dramatic effect was displayed in his condition of the improviso De Chenier by Dlondana. At times throughout the entire program, lack of correct co-ordination of breath and voice hindered the artist in a more finished performance. Mr. Northern was best in his group of spirituals at which time he attempted to sing with discriminating taste somewhat sending forth the message of the composer, our beloved Harry T. Burleigh. Mr. Northern was entirely represented by his personal sup porters of Abysinnia Baptist church. There was a splendid representation of loyalty. A few of the outstanding personages were Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Leroy Jones, Miss McCrany, Mr. Burrs, Mrs. Severe, Mr. Smith, Mr. Jack and the Northerns.

He was by himself in Harlem a long time before other physicians, or even patients, suspected the community would one day be Ethiopian Eden. course in no other place. He is Dr. J. Milton Williams of 105 Edgecombe Avenue. He attended the then existing Jim Crow public schools of the city school system; was in the opening class of City College of New York. He graduated from the Long Island College Hospital in 1883; immediately registered, separate regent examinations at that time not being necessary, and displayed his shingle in East 110th Street. Harlem at that time was a more suburb of the city proper and seemingly miles and miles away from the congested Hell's Kitchen district where the few other physicians of nerve and color resided. In 1897 after successfully passing a required civil service examination, Dr. Williams became the first member of his race to be identified with the New York City Health Department, as he was many years later to become the first Negro medical officer to be commissioned in the New York National Militia. New York physicians as a whole have not been extremely ambitious politically. Dr. Williams has been the exception. He very recently made a valiant campaign in an effort to become assemblyman on the Democratic ticket. The second with regard to length of service in the practice of medicine in New York City is discovered to be Dr. William H. Johnson of 24 West 182nd Street. He, like his confrere, was born in New York. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1885 and began his practice on Eighth Avenue near 22rd Street, opposite the old Opera House. In this neighborhood lived and worked and died most of the early pioneer practitioners. Among them, the old New Yorkers will bring back to their minds Dr. Miller, Dr. Lively, Dr. "Gus" Johnson, Dr. McMahley, and Dr. Conwoll. These were, however, long since turned in their stethescopes and thermometers to the Grim Reaper. THE HOUSE WILLEY WILSON SANITARIUM, the first but, thank goodness, not the last of handsome hospitals founded by Harlem physicians for the more convenient and effective care of the sick of Uptown New York. The White Plague DIEASE had destroyed more of mankind than all other forces combined. Fire, famine and war are rare occurrences, but disease, particularly tuberculosis, is ever with us and takes a daily toll in human lives. Much disease, however, can be prevented, or if taken in time, can be cured. It takes eternal fighting to accomplish this, however. The Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, 202 West 136th Street, continually carries on such a fight. It promotes disease prevention by teaching the rules of proper living; the signs by which disease may be recognized; and the methods by which recovery may be achieved. It conducts nutrition classes for children where they are taught what to eat to become strong and robust. It has an Information Service free to all residents of the community where any one may take his health problems. Those suffering from tuberculosis are assisted in finding sanatoria where they may receive treatment, and general health information is given to all desiring it. Children are weighed WILLEY WILSON SANITARI ness, not the last of handsome physicians for the more conveni of Uptown New York. and measured and given special attention if they are found to be underweight. It conducts a dental clinic where children whose parents cannot afford to send them to private dentists may receive dental care. Since the establishment of this clinic, August 19, 1924, over 2,000 new cases have attended it for examination and treatment, not counting the large number of return visits. Health lectures are given by authorities on various health subjects in schools and churches, before clubs, parent-teachers' associa- tions, and similar gatherings at the request of these groups. A lecture course is given for physicians every year. In addition, there is a Health Information Service where they are assisted upon request in finding sanatoria for their patients. Those who are in hospitals receiving care find their heavy burdens charmed away by the scores of volunteer artists who, sharing in the committee's work, sing, play and entertain the sick. The fight against disease is being waged, not only against tuberculosis, but also against heart disease, and all sickness which may be prevented through teaching the rules of proper living. Most of the money to carry on this fight is raised by the sale of Christmas Seals, conducted by the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association between Thanksgiving and Christmas every year and by membership contributions. Medical Societies Medico-Chi: Organized about 1894 in Hell's Kitchen District; membership about ten, four of which are still practicing in Harlem today. Dr. J.

Harlem now for Laboratories exclusively for X-ray Harlem Hospital HARLEM Hospital, stretching the entire block between 156th and 137th Streets on Lenox Avenue, possesses the distinction of being one of the best equipped and most modern of the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals System. The worth of this institute to the community is beyond estimate. The convenience of its central location, the excellence of its staff and the efficiency of its nursing personnel offer to uptown New York hospital facilities which are the envy of Negro groups in all parts of the world. It is suspected, however, that Harlemites little dream of the stupendous maintenance cost of a metropolitan hospital of such magnitude. There are required in the operation of this municipal plant some one hundred thirty-nine surgeons. At present there are on the staff and in the out-patient department about forty doctors of color. There are on duty about twenty-three internes, nine of which are non-whites. There are thirty-one colored graduate nurses and one hundred four in training. There are three operating rooms, eight wards and three hundred seventy beds. The emergency full capacity is about four hundred souls. The hospital pay roll amounts alth in to nearly $10,000 each two weeks. Fifteen people are necessary for laundry purposes alone and five to six thousand sheets are washed and ironed daily. It operates its own electric and steam plants and consumes eighteen tons of coal every twenty-four hours. Each week, twenty-five to thirty-five babies see the light of day for the first time, within its walls and from forty-three to fifty people are operated upon. Harlem takes care not only of the greatest proportion of the hospitalization of the community and ministers to some four hundred patients, each day in its out-patient department or clinics, but offers to the medical profession itself rich opportunities for the ad- terior scene of Lick Observatory. RUDOLPH FISHER. Before the was largely a matter of shrewd possesses two completely equipped ey and Fluoroscopy. vancement of clinical knowledge. Reports of unusual and rare cases treated here have found circulation in medical journals of wide distribution. The uptown physicians have not been backward in taking advantage. In 1920, three Negro physicians applied for and received appointments in the out-patient department. In 1926, this number had been increased to fourteen and application was made for indoor appointments. This was granted and two physicians of color were appointed in medicine and three in surgery. To these have been added two more in surgery, two in gynecology, one in medicine and one in pediatrics. The men in the outpatient clinics number—in medicine, nine (9); in surgery (12); in skin, one (1); in the eye clinic, two (2); in gynecology, three (3), and in the dental, seven (7). Dr. R. Rapp, Superintendent of Harlem, holds as his life's work the development of a Greater Harlem Hospital Movement is under way for extensive expansion in buildings and facilities. Dr. Rapp is emphatic in insisting that Harlem is no more of a Negro institution than it is a white one; it is a municipal hospital supported by the taxpayers and dedicated to best interests of the community, irrespective of race, creed or color.

This issue will also serve some of the boys who have cover for reasons all their o WE have with us this week the doctors. This particular faction of men have always occupied the seats of the mighty in our social realm, and to this day have lost little of their power. To turn this issue over to the doctors is a novel idea. While I have nothing to do with the "make ready" of this prize journal, I earnestly hope that aside from heralding the physicians and dentists, that the pharmacists get a square deal. My heart goes out for the under dog. This issue will also serve the intelligence of locating some of the boys who have been in hiding or have taken cover for reasons all their own. Collectively, the doctors are still on top and remain the choice of Milady's fancy. Traditionally, they have always been able to grind out a safe living and manage well to get off to a good start. And for the most part make up what could be called the "respectful citizens". These sparkling assets, in the eyes of women, automatically label them as "good finds" or gilt edge assurances against the ravages of Alarm Clock (early rising) and other forms of drudgery. There is no great deal for me to say about this eminent gentry. They have my vote of confidence and I will give them a clean bill of health. But there is one thing they possess, that provokes me to envy. I am at present in receipt of several new drinks and would gladly prescribe their contents, upon my success to cash a beg of one whiskey prescription—Q. S. (quantity sufficient). My new cocktails are delightful in every sense. They even read well, for example: Rx: "One of the sour zi Two of the sweet zi Three of the strong ziii" And four of the "weak", ziv. I shall gladly release all information pertaining hereto when my hand is firmly wrapped around the much coveted Rx. I am forced to split the difference with the medies as a feeling comes over me, which makes me yearn for a few minutes "down the alley". A full fortnight ago when the Mauretania weighed anchor and steamed for European shores, she carried in her first cabin two distinguished New Yorkers - Miss Ruth Bayton and Mr. Charlie Woods. When interviewed on the deck of the Mauretania, Miss Bayton was dressed in her latest acquired French temperament—flesh colored stockings and "high hat". Mr. Woods had on his "great coat", marvelous wrist watch, his seagoing legs and broad smile. Charlie graciously declined any intercourse with the camera men. As for Miss Ruth, the camera men were given a shrug of her shoulder, a tilt of her chin, affecting her latest French airs, and a vow that she had come near enough to being photographed up in 125th street station, when the owners of a fashionable downtown shop insisted by process of law, that her much overdue account had been far too lingering. After better than a year abroad, Miss Bayton returned to the States for a ten days stay in order to settle up some various open accounts and in the mean time, contract for the services of a manager to handle her professional affairs abroad. She was fortunate in drawing for her lot the services of Mr. Charlie Woods, who was retained for the mere privilege of 67,500 per annum, expenses and "custs". Mr. Woods is a thrifty shop, and is known to have a way with women, and less. I make a poor guess, he will make himself felt in the French community and further feel that the time will not be long when he will have worked himself up to a "Parisian Macquarie". It is alleged that Miss Bayton has a very good head for business. LOST; Brown and White, Large Box Barrier. Answers to name of life. Knowled for his return.

The combination should be unbeatable. Indications point to Mr. Woods doing much European sleeping, as his wardrobe contained twelve pairs of brand new pajamas of varied assortment from a Fifth Avenue haberdashery. I am to understand that he deterred the purchase of other clothing as he prefers to be tailored in Bond Street, London. During her visit to the States Miss Bayton was feted from Villa Lewaro to Baltimore. While in Baltimore, the lady was in the company of one "Billious" on one occasion. "Billious" is a man about Baltimore who, as the name applies, is a person full of bile. Whether the lady objected to this condition or some other, I didn't learn, but something happened and the lady resented by squaring off at this billious fellow. For the lack of control, her blow went astray and was stopped only through the interference of Charlie Woodz, who's head was in the way. As I aforesaid, the lady would not grant an interview, but her manager has to say that Miss Bayton is to take the place of Miss Josephine Baker at the Folies Bergere in Paris, after a few weeks of rest down at the Riviera. Mr. Woods will not find it convenient to go to Monte Carlo until late summer. Syracuse, N. Y. The annual meeting of the Associated Branches of the Girls Friendly Society, was held at Trinity Parish House, Monday evening, under the auspices of the Trinity branch.

Mr. Stern, student of Syracuse University, delivered a splendid address at the A. M. P. Zion Church, Sunday evening. An interesting mock trial was held in the auditorium of the Bethany Baptist Church on Thursday evening.

Peterson of 22 Beacon Street was indeed a terrible shock to all who knew her. She was a member of Musselah Baptist church and also a graduate of P. B. 5, class of 1874. She has been ill at St. John's Hospital only a short time. Funeral services were held at her church on February 2. Reconstructions were read from the A. C. A. C.

February 10. 1920 By D'ANDRE Lesson II. Last week we presented for your study three English period chairs; you perhaps visited a few of the stores that sell the type of furniture we are studying. You were disappointed surely if you visited the "dollar down" stores for they later only to those who know little or nothing about good furniture. They of course charge their customers as much for the gum-wood, imitation mohair and tapestry furniture as others charge who sell the better grade to their highly discriminating customers. If you contemplate entering the decoration profession you must locate the stores that sell well balanced, carefully constructed furniture. Those who live in New York may write to the editor of this column for firm names and addresses; arrangements have been made for your visit to these worthy institutions. The Figures I, II, III, are associated with the lesson of last week, therefore, it will be necessary for you to exercise the technical points that are already a part of your ```markdown ``` equipment, in order to appreciate this group. Lesson II introduces the work of three English designers; three who were craftsmen of first rank, possessing very rare ability; in fact, they perhaps have some claim to destination in the world of "sculpture". It is very difficult for any one to procure an original piece, yet, however, there are many fine examples reproduced by modern craftmen. Many pleasing examples of the work of these artist may be seen at the Metropolitan Museum located on Fifth Avenue (New York at 82nd Street). More than twenty large rooms are correctly furnished in various periods. Should you find it convenient a visit Sunday will help lots to acquaint you with the practical side. Illustrations of chairs, created, designed and made by Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Sheraton and Adam will appear on this page in the next issue. III. STUDIES. Chippendale, first. Hepplewhite, second. Sheraton, third. Sheraton. General Character: Chaste and reserved design, featured by straight lines and flat surfaces, delicately colored or decorated with inlays. Sheraton is called the "chaste designer"; his was the talent for assembling even, severe lines into furniture of exquisite grace. He depended upon scientific geometrical construction perpetuating the grace and refinement Hepplewhite introduced in more substantial forms. Sheraton's chairs were his most striking articles. The backs were structural, i. e., visibly self-supporting. The major lines were straight and points of fracture accented rather than depressed. The square back belongs to Sheraton and while the fillers varied, horizontal bars joined by vertical bars predominated curves where employed were graceful and usually framed in thin vertical lines. Seats were square cornered and while curves were frequent in the arms they were sweeping and not abrupt. While Hepplewhite characteris- ```markdown ``` tically pulled his seat cover well over the apron, Sheraton preferred to shoe the seat frame to give visible support to the upholstery. Sheraton legs are slender,round or square, and tapered. They are clearly marked at the point of support and instead of being left to warp after the Hepplewhite manner, they are often stiffened by volutes. The principal form of enrichment was by inlays of different woods. HEPPLEWHITE General character: Dainties with structually sound forms in which the curve is emphasized. Hepplewhite furniture is strikingly like that of Sheraton, who in turn rendered the Louis XVI style with charming individuality. In it too, the architectural ideas of Adam are followed. It is slender, well proportioned and characterized by rhythmic harmony of the curve. Chairs were Hepplewhite's hobby; in their backs we find his peculiar and individual features, the sheild and interlacking heart pattern. The sheild is often employed today in shaping the morrot frame for chiffoniers, dressers, etc., the style being particularly adapted to boudoir furniture. Hepplewhite also employed the oval back and the vase or lyre-shaped pierced splat back. The splat in the back of a set of chairs made for the then Prince of Wales was carved in the form of three plumes, which have since been known as the "Prince of Wales Plumes". While Chippendale's method of decorating was by carving. Hepplewhite did little and such as he used was light and delicate. For ornament he depended upon painting, jappanning and inlays, but the main charm lay in his five proportions. Legs are almost invariably straight, either square or round, the former finished off with spade feet and the latter with ankle mouldings. CHIPPENDALE General character: Solid looking, substantial forms adapted from other forms, generally lavishly ornamented. It is difficult to classify Chippendale. He was more a craftsman than a designer and was completely governed in his work by popular demand. From his early work imitating Queen Anne to the later style known as "Chinese Chippendale", designed along square lines and ornamented with Apex College Celebrates Graduation GRACE Congregational Church was packed to capacity and many were forced to stand at the Apex College of beauty culture graduation exercises Wednesday evening. The entire program was strikingly impressive. A most interesting lecture was given by Mrs. M. G. Langford, well known public speaker of Red Bank, N. J. Mme. Marie Barrier Houston, prominent soprano, received thunderous applause upon rendition of several vocal numbers. Papers were read and many other musical numbers enjoyed. After the church ceremonies there was a supper dance given at the beautifully decorated Venetian Tea Gardens in honor of Mme. Sara Spencer Washington, founder and president of the Apex Hair Co., who motored here from Atlantic City with Mrs. Lacornia Fitzgerald to attend the celebration. This supper dance was indeed one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. The food was excellent and music irresistable. The program of the graduation exercises was as follows: Processional.....Graduating Class Coronation Hymn.....Congregation Invocation ....Rev.A.C.Garner,D.D.

During 1927 one hundred and eighty-seven students graduated from the Apex College of advance beauty culture. Chinese motifs, is a market change, yet, be it said, he almost invariably improved the style adapted. Chippendale and Haig (designers and makers of furniture) did most of the work for the Adam brothers, as well as carrying out the ideas of their contemporaries. The Cabriole leg, always ending in the claw and ball foot, is found on the Queen Anne and Louis XV adaptions while in the Chinese styles the legs are straight, and fretted as they also are in the work he did under Gothic influence. The backs of Chippendale chairs are decidedly individual and fancy. The well known "ladder back" is so called because a series of horizontal rails, more or less shaped and pierced unite the uprights. The "ribbon back" has a carved splat consisting of loops of ribbon. There are various fretted backs in which the lattice work may occupy all the space between the uprights or simply comprise the splats. Chair seats were either square or tapering toward the back, generally flat but sometimes dipped or "spooned" when of course they were not upholstered. By MISS FLORENCE MAYLIN (Formerly associated with Mme. Roy—Paris) "Yes, she is very charming, she is always in such good taste."... and what dear reader, is Good Taste? It is the understanding heart, the seeming eye and the seeing eye and the knowing mind; or in other words, knowing what's what, when to do it, when to wear it and when to say it. Haven't you sometimes attended a social gathering when some wellmeaning, kind-hearted soul just puts her foot in it by talking about intimate and personal matters which are intended for the privacy of the home; or who appears all decked out "fit to kill," certain she will cut an elegant figure and who really is only cutting capers. The other afternoon, I attended a small, but distinguished bridge-party in a private home. The kind and courteous hostess had generously permitted one of the players to invite a house-guest to the party. She wore a red satin dress, heavily decorated with ruffles, fringes, lace and buttons; gold slippers and a gold lace turbaned hat with a large rose pompom hanging over her left ear. She wore green ear-rings to her neck, two chains besides her lorgnette cord, bracelets of every description on each arm and her fingers were so covered with rings that she could scarcely hold her cards. This kind soul was beaming, talkative and having a glorious time, but her hostess and the rest of the guests were quite miserable. We could not help but feel self-conscious and sorry for her that she was so blind to the propriety and fitness of things. Her outfit might have looked quite effective and striking on the vaudeville stage or at a second-rate boarding house, but it was neither attractive nor suitable to the occasion and it really was an insult to our gracious hostess and her charming home.

Lenox Avenue New York Best Work at Lowest Prices in the City All Work Guaranteed Weekly Payments Open Evenings LADY NICOTINE doesn't want to discourage the debutantes who are casting their eyes doctorward, but having spent ten years more or less with one of the breed, she feels that it is her duty to put them wise to a thing or two. Doctors are all right in their way, but they don't weigh much. They are generally unsatisfactory, require too much waiting on, and have too many excuses that you can't check up on. ```markdown ``` For example: The phone rings. You answer very sweetly. Another dripping voice asks for the doctor. He isn't in. You ask for the name and message. The honeyed voice refuses to leave either. You are not hot, much! But what can you do? If you jump the Doctor, he hasn't the slightest idea what it is all about. And there you are! --- This occurs several times a day and you have about decided to go home to mother when a man calls and also refuses to leave his name. Then you begin to wonder if all patients have that "won't-leave a name" complex. And if you are a very sensible person, or very much in love with the Doctor, you laugh it off. But if you are a jealous vixen—bye, bye Doctor. * * * Unfortunately Doctors must have assistants and they prefer females. What they really dote on are beautiful young girls. Now it so happens that most wives aren't particularly keen on having ladies of that description shut up with their susceptible husbands eight and ten hours a day. Unless you can stand flapper competition, stay out of the running. --- Ah! But the greatest bug bear is the under-sexador over-sexed hussy who, at the close of every office hour, sends in a hurried call. She doesn't know what is the matter with herself, but you do.

You have been trying for weeks to see Show Boat. At last you get tickets for Wednesday night. You rush through dinner and are just stepping into the car when up comes a man all cut and bleeding. That ends the show or you go alone. --- The dance you have been counting on for ages comes off Friday night. You have a new outfit and feel in your bones that fun galore awaits you. You anticipate walking in with your better half tuxed down, and knocking them cold. The magic hour arives; you are dressed and happy. The phone rings. Mrs. Mose has decided to have a baby. You and your dance fade out. --- For some no good reason, you decide to cook an extra fine dinner. You waste an afternoon juggling pcts and pans and burning your hands. The feast is scheduled for six. An operation comes in ten minutes to six. Cold dinner at eight. --- If your doctor stays out all night O. B. case. If a strange woman is seen in his car-sick patient. If a date is made over the phone-a call. If a broad is shut up in his office several hours-a private consultation. If you locate in a small town, you have still another group of troubles. You mustn't wear fine clothes, they might offend the patients. You must not be seen in your husband's car because he might be discussing patients with you. You must go to church every Sunday, join stupid clubs, squander precious hours gossiping with prospects. And you must meet the town with a smiling countenance and open arms or you are stuck up and excited over being in a doctor's household. * * * You may see your husband at breakfast and dinner, but I doubt it You may get a kick out of being called Mrs. Doctor So and So, but not if you're in your right mind.

Those specialists who must not only be learned in their particular field; but qualified socially and financially, as well. Their power rests in their versatility.

Individuals whom we demand to be authorities, students, sympathetic friends, "Butter and Egg Turn-Overs", and Beau Brummells; — whom we can not depend upon unless they possess Elinor Glyn's "It". We admire them for their ability, nerve, and audacity. We appreciate them for their unselfish service to mankind. We respect them. We honor them. We love them. 串串序 In Quakertown, we have more than two hundred practicing physicians,—six of whom are women, about seventy dentists, and thirty-five pharmacists. The number is constantly on the increase. We still need help. Our people must not only be taught to properly care for their bodies, but they must be given the proper care when it is needed—regardless of cost. ```markdown ``` There are two outstanding institutions in Philadelphia on which we all depend: one, the Douglass Hospital, founded by its active superintendent. Dr. N. F. Mossell; the other, the Mercy Hospital. The former, located in the heart of the city is now engaged in the erection of its Nurses' Home. The latter, now situated in West Philadelphia, posseses a more spacious and restful site in that the city's congestion is absent.

The child who is given every opportunity to be every thing; who is expected to be the leader of the next generation in every field; who must do the un- expected in genius—like fashion, the expected with ease and indifference; who, above all, must be a person whom men can respect, women can trust, and babies can love!

In hastening to comply with this very polite restrainer, I look for one or two things in the medical profession to wax complimentary over. At last I have found one. That one is this: That the blundering and incompetence of doctors often remove bores, virgins, check-dodgers, evangelists and other undesirable aliens from this world which is thus made safer for the diverting pleasantries of the flesh and the devil. I have traced the history of medicine from Aesculapious to these days of 6-0-6 and Mme. Lydia Pinkham's meritorious vegetable compound and have concluded that whatever slight excuse there is for the doctor, his bill is a nuisance unadorned. The only justification discoverable for the doctor's bill is the prevalent notion that doctors must live. The reply to that is: Not necessarily. I am very willing to eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away. On second thought I would eat two apples and a cake of Fleishman's Yeast to boot to stave one off if I were carrying on an affair with his wife. But since it is forbidden to discuss wives in these chaste columns I beg leave to cry out that ever and anon a young lady enters the nursing profession who does not look like Aunt Jemima of pancake fame or a Louisiana midwife. In fact some of them are quite personable little bodies, as I observed when the freshman nurses of Freedmen's gave themselves a "manless" blowout in the private booths of the Blue Bird Cafe. Pete Chisman, manager of the Blue Bird, had a nice lay out for these youthful ladies, and made only one mistake in the course of his service, that is he strong-armed all the men to the front of the cafe and left the girls in a side room dancing with each other. Pete, however, did not exclude himself from the girl's side of the house. The girls had a nice table laden with salad, assorted cold cuts, pickles, stuffed olives, etc. In this group were Misses Hannah Hilton, Cora Wilson, Elizabeth Chase, Nora Harris, Alberta Walton, Mildred Murray, Christine Carsten, and three or four others who escaped me. At this point I arise to remark that I'll either have to get off the subject of medicine or be carried to Carson's Hospital for a major operation to remove my taste for alush. I was getting along fairly well, I thank you, on this medicine stuff and was beginning to exude a noticeable aroma of lysol, when word reached me that Tally Holmes, the tennis champ, and a teacher in the District Schools had been NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE WILL BE A LILY ORDER YOURS NOW --- *** 章 章 章 a nasty mind I would set down tattler readers, a lewd discourse this primarily engaged in a war is endeavoring to keep down governed principality. But I hating readers of this journal. Varfield when he raided a black Hospital this week and caught burns red hot to give their quar- im, "I am surprised at you!" ed me from headquarters that special Medical Issue and that mn and the items of some of to "be of a more complimen- grabbed up with larceny in his heart. As a ranking member of the local "find-out" committee, I contend that I have as a great love for news as most people. But Tally loves the news so well that he was willing to pay ten berries for a two cent newspaper. That is, he was eager to part with the ten bucks after he got caught with the paper. Another lover of news is the Rev. Dr. Love, ex-secretary of the Baptist Union. I am not surprised at anything a preacher does unless it is a matter of parting from his dough. Personally, I am as broad on the subject of larceny as I am on drinking or adultery, but I think all of them ought to be done on the grand scale. Jesse James or Hickman were all right with me because when they took a chance to collar a few stray ones, they reached for enough to pay for a bowl of stew and still were able to show more currency than Sheenie Mike. But Tally Holmes and Rev. Love got caught with their hands tangled around a two cent newspaper from off the "Honor System" stand. They reached out for a paper, and forgot to put in the pennies, but when the police jumped out of the box, they wormed and squirmed and alleged they had dropped in their pennies, but on opening the box there was never no penny. If I had to pay ten berries for a two cent paper I would be converted to the theory that Fall, Sinclair and Doheny proved was all the bologna. That theory being: Honesty is the best policy. The management of this Christine review failed to tell me whether or not they included chiropractic, homeopathic, witch, snake and herb doctors in their Medical Issue. But since these fellows rank so low socially I believe it is safe to exclude them, along with tooth plumbers, who are, in the main only expert mechanics. I also blue-pencil the tribe of physicians who specialize in the business of lending first-aid to indiscreet and distressed lovers. Not that I don't think a nice little gal deserves a bit of help now and then, but my heart goes out for the old-fashioned midwives whose road is made rough by these ergot dispensing boys and dilating artists. And besides a doctor may be a social celebrity and a rare and talented magnifico in New York, Baltimore and in the hunterlands below the Potomac, but there are so many of them running loose around here in Washington that most of the knowing ones feel toward them just about as J. Pierpont Morgan would, that is to say, he keeps his physician, his chef, his gentleman's gentleman and other domestics in their place, and that place is not one of social familiarity. You would hardly believe me, but I shall now dish you the low down: The "doctor mill" here in Washington turns out men actually too dumb to marry a Washington school teacher, and after graduating they have to go down and * * * collar a job in one of the Government departments. If medicine is a prerequisite to sorting mail or stiching pamphlets in the Printing Office, its a requirement they have kept hid from my very sagacious search. What makes that kind of dumbness hard to pardon is the fact that from birth all colored parents train their male children to be doctors, and their female ones to marry them. There is an entirely creditable rumor these days which eloquently sets forth that a Washington matron spanked the Little Jumbo of her six-year old daughter whom she caught eating an apple. "Never no eat apples," the mother cried, "You will never get a doctor that way!" Kansas City Society At a certain church, the preacher had been expounding on "Hades and its terrors thereof", after which the choir began to sing "Tell Mother I'll Be There" which reminds us of another pastor who had expostulated upon "The Curse of Drink" and said that if he had his way he would throw all of the liquor in the universe in the river. The tion entitled "Shall We Gather at choir then began to give the select the River". I should prefer not calling any names as my will is yet unmade! ★ ★ ★ A chorus of seventy-five voices from Prairie View State College, directed by Miss Doris Novel, broadcasted last week from the banquet hall of the Rice Hotel, at Hueston, Texas. Miss Novel is one of Kansas City's own so need more be said? * * * A business meeting of the Ivanhoe club was held at Community Center, Friday and the club asserted its unalterable disapproval of the smoking and drinking of modern ladies. The Ivanhoe club is the "Cream of the Jug" in clubdom. *** We note that Mr. and Mrs. Howard gave a birthday party for their four-year-old son, Leonard, at which all of the guests were grown-ups and most of them married couples. We hope the little fellow had an enjoyable evening. --- T. Arnold Hill of New York City, an official of the National Urban League was in our city two days this week. * * * J. Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon sang spirituals at the Linwood Boulevard Christian Church (white) Sunday evening, and have been requested by the assistant pastor to come back and appear in a formal recital. Yes, come again, have a seat and make yourselves at home. You're welcome! *** Last week Miller's Studio proposed that your Valentine (greeting) be a photograph made by Miller Studio. Wonderful idea! But will someone please suggest a nice (comic) verse to be written underneath mine? *** The Athenaem club held their annual party Monday evening. The members wore tulle dresses and corsages of black feathers with yellow centers. The president, secretary and treasurer were presented with sets repreciively of silver salad forks, sliver ice tea spoons and a silver basket. Oh well now, it shows they're steppin' right along!

Dear Bill: YOUR letter received with the information concerning the doctors. I am sorry it came at this time because I have some real news I wanted to send through concerning a fire which came off down here last week. The fire perhaps would not interest you but some of the ramifications of the thing are good. At any rate I will tell you about it next week. Now concerning doctors, I should think that a big order. The term covers a great deal of territory. I know of many kinds of doctors. For instance, there are horse doctors, snake doctors, quack doctors, chiropodists, chiropractic doctors and what not. Four fifths of the doctors as I have found out are bunco men. In Maryland a chiropodist who is really not a doctor gets away with murder and arson. He is just as important as a regular doctor and only has to know how to keep a corn from hurting. Then there is the homeopathic doctor who cures everything with a pill. Then there is the chiropractic doctor who beats you up to cure you. However, all are doctors, but, it cannot be said that the colored doctors have engaged in these bogus lines to any extent. The colored doctor as I know him is a very different creature. To begin with, he is the social preceder-resistance of the colored race. In a colored woman's mind the greatest thing on earth is to go with a doctor or be married to a doctor. In case the lady marries a doctor she even refers to herself as "Mrs. Dr." I have called up many colored doctors in Baltimore and invariably when the wife answers the phone she says, "The doctor is not in but this is Mrs. Dr. Wheatcakes talking and I will be glad to take the message." But in all seriousness the doctor's business is a great business or was a great business until the government started prostituting it by giving them all prescription books for whiskey, which converted them into nuisances by putting them in keen competition with honest bootleggers. It has been recently brought to my attention that the doctors call the prescription book the "rent man" and if it were not for the "renu man" some of them would be pushing a truck. However, in all seriousness, it must be said for Baltimore physicians that they have accomplished a great deal. When I was a small boy, practically every other child in my school had "razor" legs and it has been noted that since the advent of colored doctors in great numbers, this situation has been alleviated. "Razor" legs is a thing greatly not to be desired and for this reason I think the local physicians deserve all the credit they can get. When I am so presumptuous as to go back into the field of antiquity I think of the fact that once upon a time the barber was the doctor. As a matter of fact the practice of medicine started in the barber shop. As we all know now the barbershop is far removed s to Bill -: ALTIMORE from your medical profession. In those days if you cut your hand the barber or the doctor would put a leache on you and bleed you a little more in order to keep up his contract with the undertaker. Leaches were in vogue for a long time and in some instances they have been known to bring good results. Leaches have never been out-lawed by the medical profession. In this day and time the doctors put the leaches on your pocketbook which has proved to be a very successful treatment for all pocketbooks] In conclusion I would say the doctors are the most favored people of the colored race. They are run after by colored women and their rent is payed by the United States Government, thus making them independent and much sought after. Of all the doctors the army doctor is the worst. You can't even prove to him you are sick unless your name is on the sick report. Then if you are sick you get either some C. C. Pills, some Epson salts, some Iodine or some Aspirin.

It is lovely to have nothing to do but chase rainbows that never end. My rainbow happens to be my "three hots".....and oh what a Will O' Wisp it proves to be! But after five years of marriage bliss; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Davis of 1527 East 49th street, seems to have found and kept their rainbow. And to judge from the wonderful hand carved reproducing Litz, the marvelous furnishings of their new Spanish stucco, you will agree with me that they even captured the "pot of gold" at the end of every rainbow. * * * So the Adams invited their friends in great numbers to attend their Fifth Wedding Anniversary on last Tuesday evening. An artistic florist had given the wedding touch with the most gorgeous baskets of Spring blossoms one can imagine. Mrs. Adams (Maybelle) was once more a bride in white taffeta with tulle bouffant and a white corsage of sweet peas and roses. The affair was strictly formal. * * * There were so many beautiful ladies present and there is no use in my trying to remember all of them. But I do recall Mrs. Price, the mother of Mrs. Adams, looking ever so youthful and dancing with the young men divinely; Mrs. Feurtado, Miss J. Jones, Miss May Collins, Mrs. Anita Grant, Mrs. Fay Jackson Robinson, Miss Elaine Gray, Mrs. Malcolm Patton, Mrs. C. Harris, Mrs. Leon Rene, Mrs. Agnes McClahan and Mrs. Viola Morton Scott. Mr. Henry Starr, the distinguished radio artist, presided at the piano, and Bilo (Sam Russell) himself entertained us. Mr. Adams received almost as many...or congratulations as his beautiful bride of five years. Durham Society Attorney Ralph Mizelle of New York City was in the city a few hours last Sunday on his way to Winston Salem. He was motoring with Prof. Hilliard of Troy. N. C.

One of the most interesting sessions of the season of the Volkamemia Club was that held Thursday February 2nd with Miss L A. Royster at the palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Avey. 312 Umstead St. The topic for discussion was the Negro Musician, the sub-topic composers being discussed by Miss Estelle Tonkins and Instrumentalists and Vocalists by Miss Maggie L. Kennedy. Both these ladies read splendid papers on their respective topics. Miss Tonkins' paper was especially fine showing a great deal of research on her part to give the club the outstanding facts concerning Negro composers. *** Music being a theme which appeals to all human beings in general and Negroes in particular, the discussions which followed the papers were entered into heartily and various were brought out concerning the part Negroes has played in the realm of music. * * * A unique feature of the afternoon program was a beautiful piano selection-one of S. Coleridge-Taylor's compositions—rendered by Mrs. Nola B. Cox. Bessie J. Whitted.
