LENOX AVENUE 132nd Streets, NEW YORK CITY Charter of Charles Tanner "Be Good To Your Landlord' Week NO class of men has been the object of more continuous or harsher criticism than the colored realtors of Harlem. Somehow the notion has got abroad that while Jews, Armenians, Turks and Scandinavians are in business for a primary purpose of making money the colored real estate man, especially if he is also a landlord, should be a philanthropist. We admit it's a beautiful idea, but so far no one has been able to persuade tax collectors and bankers—and, incidentally, white landlords—to cooperate in putting it over. The tax assessor does not split the rate on property owned by colored realtors, and when they apply for mortgages the chances are five to one that the banker will doube the bonus. So long as these conditions continue it will be rather difficult for the colored realtor to go very strong for charity unless he wants to be on the receiving end. Since conditions prevent the colored realtor from being a philanthropist it may be interesting, as well as instructive, to consider his talents as a business man. To appreciate the ability of the colored realtor one has only to compare the present racial complexion of Harlem with what it was twenty years ago. At that time the section was owned and occupied by members of a richer group who were reluctant to give it up. Today the section is almost wholly occupied and largely owned by Negroes. It was the colored realtor who engineered this great social change and he did it in the face of the stiffest sort of business competition, sometimes reinforced by bitter racial opposition. Working with shorter capital, he had to be longer on brains in order to hold his own with his competitors. His business sagacity needs no greater tribute than the fact that, from a nucleus of a few houses in 134th Street, Harlem, he expanded North to the Heights and South to 110th Street, and still growing. While building up a community the colored realtor has served the larger interests of his race. As a broker he has guided the savings of his people into permanent and profitable investments. As a landlord he is conserving a part of the wealth of the race which would otherwise pass into the hands of outsiders. In performing this service he becomes one of the greatest factors of race advancement, for the increase of wealth leads all other forms of progress. We have no intention, of course, of trying to make a saint of the colored landlord. He is human like the rest of us and he has his imperfections, including the annoying habit of calling for the rent when it's due. Remembering his several admirable qualities, we shall not forget his faults and those of his minions—the janitor, elevator runner, switchboard operator, et. al. And we are going to continue to raise hell every time the steam is late.

It was the real estate men who pioneered the district and filled it with customers for our drug stores, haberdasheries, speakeasies, beauty parlors, restaurants and recreation resorts. The prosperity of our doctors and dentists is due to the fact that real estate men have supplied them with ever increasing thousands of potential patients. Finally it was the real estate men who colonized colored voters in the effective masses which have given us our nascent political power. If our voting strength were scattered, as it was thirty years ago, we would have no representatives of the race on the Board of Aldermen. In short, the economic and political progress of Harlem is mainly the result of the activities of the most abused of all business men—the landlord. Harlem is a product of the twentieth century. In 1900 it was barely a vision. As late as 1908 it was merely a possibility. In the latter year there were three colored residential settlements in Manhattan. The largest flanked either side of Eighth Avenue from the middle thirties to the lower forties, Forty-first Street being the northern boundary. Further north was a smaller and sweller colony in Fifty-second and Fifty-third Streets. Maceo's and Marshall's, the 1908 equivalents of Small's and Club Harlem, were both in Fifty-third Street. So were Mt. Olivet Baptist Church and St. Marks Methodist Church, as well as the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.'s. Indeed, this mid-town colony was practically the center of both the night life and the cultural life of colored New York. Still further north and west, was the notorious San Juan Hill district in the lower sixities west of Tenth Avenue. To live in this district called for a hardy and warlike spirit, for it was continually being raided by the wild natives of Tenth Avenue. Besides, the colored residents had to be prepared to fight their way out of the district when they left home for work in the morning and ready to battle their way back home when their day's toil was done. Tenth Avenue, in fact, was a sort of no man's land, and the dockets of the police, as well as the memories of old residents of the district, contain the record of many a sanguinary struggle fought there between the invading Negroes and the Irish who wanted to keep them out. By 1910, however, it became clear that Negroes were in the district to stay, and since that time they have seldom been molested. Besides these three large colored settlements, there were in 1910, several smaller groups isolated in various parts of the borough. The largest of these, perhaps, was the settlement on Third Avenue around Ninety-eighth and Ninety-ninth Streets; one On The Cover MINNIE McDOWELL brings to you Eatser flowers.

Friday, March 29 1929 Who Made Harlem use Tireless Energy and Vision Terrific Odds on the West Side in Ninety-ninth Street near Columbus Avenue; and one on the fringes of Greenwich Village. And now, when the San Juan Hill wars were becoming less frequent and less bloody people began to talk of the new settlement far uptown. Harlem was becoming a possibility. The increasing interest in Harlem was due largely to the activities of two men of vision, Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Phillips Episcopal Church, and Phillip A. Payton, an enterprising real estate operator. These men saw that being split up in small, ineffective groups was retarding the economic, political and moral progress of colored New York. Furthermore the mid-town colonies were doomed to be crushed out of existence by the relentless expansion of the business district. As dwelling after dwelling gave way to lofts and office buildings more and more colored residents of the neighborhood would have to seek homes in other quarters of the city. If these migrating residents should settle in small, separated communities there could be but little improvement in the social condition of Negroes throughout the borough. Obviously, what was needed was a mass movement in a single direction, a movement that would concentrate numbers, and therefore economic and political power in one section of the city. Such a movement would also accelerate the religious and cultural progress of the group. Accordingly the two pioneers, the one spiritual the other temporal, began to take such steps as would give an impetus to such a movement as they had in mind. The business man, of course, could approach his objective directly with all the attendant ballyhoo of his calling. The churchman, perforce, had to pursue a more dignified, but none the less effective, course. Almost simultaneously the churchman and the business man acquired property in 134th Street; the former for a church site, the latter for residential purposes. Indeed, Mr. Payton had zroken the ice, as it were, and acquired parcels of property in 134th Street between Lenox and Seventh Avenues as early as 1901. Now, between 1908 and 1910, he secured either the ownership or management of one house after another in West 134th Street, his holdings rapidly spreading eastward until they reached Fifth Avenue. When it became known that Rev. Bishop had acquired a church site uptown, the trend to Harlem definitely became a mass movement, for it was obvious that parishioners of St. Phillips, if no others would seek homes near their church. The pioneering of Harlem had been accomplished. That it would grow into a large colored settlement was taken for granted. But it is doubtful if anybody even dreamed that the community would ex- (Continued on next page) O The rise of private Sanatoriums designed to care for the 250,000 members of our race in "Harlem Beautiful" will revolutionize hospitalization throughout the contines of New York City proper and especially in our immediate midst. for which we are Thankful'.

Except, perhaps, Rev. Bishop and Mr. Payton. Mr. Payton was indeed a man of remarkable talent and foresight. Gifted with a natural instinct for sensing social trends. he had sharpened his faculties by contact with such outstanding white real estate firms as Irons & Todd, Joseph P. Day, Douglas Robinson, I. E. Elliman, John C. Calhoun, White & Voorhees and Shaw & Page. The knowledge he had gleaned from contact and experience he passed on to younger men of his race who were associated with him. Among the operators who began their careers in his office, and who later became prominent on their own, were Clarence Hutchinson, J. B. Wood, Andrew Robinson and Nail and Parker. His office might well be called the Hatchery of Harlem. The St. Phillips corporation gave the district its first big boom when the church and parish house were built on a site extending from 134th Street through to 133rd Street. Shortly after the dedication of the church the parish obtained title to one of the largest parcels of property ever to figure in a single deal in Harlem, acquiring a row of houses in 135th Street from 107 to 145. The firm of Nail & Parker which had recently started in business, negotiated the transfer. It has already been related how the colored invasion of the San Juan Hill district was the cause of frequent and sometimes bloody clashes between the races. The Negro penetration into Harlem roused the resident whites to even more bitter and determined opposition. There was a difference, however, in the means employed to keep the Negroes out. The whites uptown rarely resorted to physical violence, preferring to combat the expansion of the Negro belt with legal and financial methods. A favorite method of fighting the colored influx was the "covenant"—an agreement of all the property owners of a block not to sell or rent their property to Negroes. The "Covenanters" were effectively fought and squelched by Rev. Daniels, curate of St. Phillips, Mr. John E. Nail, of the firm of Nail and Parker and other prominent business and professional men. Another means adopted to prevent colored realtors from getting control of property was the refusal of certain lending institutions to renew mortgages on property in which the equity was held by Negroes. Here again the firm of Nail and Parker led the fight for fair play, with results that were gratifying, to say the least. The successful operations of Phillip Payton, Nail & Parker and St. Phillips parish encouraged a swarm of colored operators to enter the field.

It has already been shown that St. Phillips was the first large church to move from the mid-town section. It was followed shortly afterward by Mother Zion, which moved from its home in 89th Street. Mother Zion did not obtain a site at once, however, but for quite a few months held services in a hall in 135th Street before at length moving into a church building in 137th Street. Recently Mother Zion erected the present building in 138th Street, to date the newest church building in Harlem. Mother Zion was followed by Bethel, which moved from 19th Street. At virtually the same time St. James moved up from 51st Street, taking a site in 137th Street. These were finally followed by the big three, Abbysinian, St. Marks and Mt. Olivet. Salem church grew up with the community. The churches, the smallest having more than a thousand members, were new centers of social activity. With their congregations living in a consolidated community religious and welfare work becomes much easier, and it is safe to assume that the social and moral conditions of colored New York has improved along with its housing. The real estate man is not often thought of as a moral agent, but when he makes it easier for the preacher and social worker to keep in touch with their charges he is certainly assisting in moral uplift. Not that real estate men have consciously gone in or uplift or claim any laurels in that field. They have been too busy extending the boundaries of the community and obtaining better living quarters or their compatriots. The deals referred to earlier in this narrative were just the beginning of the real expansion of the community.

But the redoubtable Terry had not been pushed out of the picture for good. In a short time he executed a coup which gave him control of a block of apartments almost as valuable as the group he had lost to Brown & Stevens. His new holdings were in 140th Street West of Seventh Avenue. They are still in his possession and form the nucleus of holdings said to aggregate $2,000,000. Today the Terry Holding Company divides the hegemony of the Harlem real estate field with the firm of Nail and Parker. The firms represent opposite types of the business mind which advance by opposite methods. Terry is the adventurous, aggressive type who has won his position by executing bold, daring coups. Nail and Parker represent the conservative element in business. They have grown with the community, more slowly than some newcomers perhaps, but more surely. They not only hold a commanding place in the local business world but also have the confidence of the great financial institutions downtown. They are continually employed as consultants by investing houses in the financial district, in addition to being permanently retained by one of the largest banks in the city and one of the greatest life insurance companies in the world. Renaw Realty Company REAL ESTATE and INSURANCE Friday, March 29, 1929 (Continued from page 5) A Tribute to Lottie Thompson Williams WE flled into St. Phillip's Church Wednesday before the appointed hour, where we looked on the remains of Lottie Thompson Williams, dressed in a soft shade of lavendar with a single rose in her hand and encased in a rich bronze casket. We dropped a tear of sympathy and sincerity and quietly took our seats. Death had transformed her features into her real self. She looked like Lottie of years ago, when she presented a picture of loveliness, charm and aristocracy—a real handsome woman. The morning's sun of a spring day filtered through the stained glass windows of the church and there was the stillness of death. The Rev. Bishop advanced to the bier, looked down upon the corpse and proceeded to the choir room to head the funeral cortege. Promptly at 12 o'clock the lights in the church came on, the organ played softly and the choir led the body down the main aisle to the altar, Rev. Bishop chanting, "I am the Resurrection." The family and the friends, including the most intimate and dearest, the most representative to Lottle in life and association, followed the casket. Not a heart remained untouched. Tears trieled down every cheek and the golden silence with the setting and the glory of the day, told the story of a life truly blessed. We realized that the old constituency of pioneers in the starting and development of Negro artistry was fast passing away. We recalled the cultured, artistic, aristocratic principles evidenced in her life and death and strengthened our ambitions and pledged our efforts to fight untiringly in the establishment and perpetration of those principles. 135th Street and IT HAS ATTRACTED THE PEOPLE OF There are a few from Renting Office Room Harlem Centr FINEST BUILDING THE EM IS SITUATED ON WEST CORNER Street and Sev ACTED THE BEST P PEOPLE OF THE CITY are a few offices av from $40 up Building Office on Second B Room 210 Centre Corp 135th Street and Seventh Ave. IT HAS ATTRACTED THE BEST PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE OF THE CITY There are a few offices available from $40 up Renting Office on Second Floor Room 210 200 WEST 135th STREET --- Courtesy of Charles Jones R.

So great has become the demand for suburban homes due to the high rents, the Homeseekers' Service Bureau has been compelled to move to larger quarters. After April 1st, they will be located in the RENAISSANCE THEATRE BUILDING, 2343-7th Avenue. Two cars will be kept in readiness at all times to carry interested parties to see these beautiful homes. The men behind this fast growing enterprise, are Mr. R. O. Gothard and Mr. C. D. Blue, both quite well known in the business and fraternal circles.

SEVENTH Ave. PROFESSIONAL CITY available d Floor corporation NEW YORK CITY “heatre BeNNIe But er, Theatrical Editor At the Lafayette time at the Lincoln ° With one of the best aggrega- tions, if not the best, that has shown at the Lafayette Theatre in many months, “Syncopation” should draw capacity audiences at every performance all this week. The quality, variety and beauty of this snappy musical comedy mel- ange is far superior to the majority of productions that have played here during the present theatrical season, Danny Small and his facinating litle partner Miss Anita, the lx- position Four and the Reveria Sis- ters, Angelita and Santita are the three outstanding combinations of the vehicle. Johnny Vigal and Dick Conway and the Five Blazers are due a world of credit as they too registered well with the ever so critical Monday matinee and evening audiences. With the Exposition Four, we find a fifth person in a young lady named “Bobbie” Harris and how Miss Harris can chirp. This Ex- position quartet is a classy combi- nation and the addition of the young lady is a pleasing inovation that will win the act greater pres- tige over the ordinary quartets. Dapper little Danny and Mrs. Danny or Miss Anita work with a snap and zest that's “Just Too Bad’. That duet number, “I'd Rather Be Blue Thinking Of You Than Be Hap- py With Somebody Else” is a darby. Oh boy and 1 could hear ‘em chirp that eight days in the week, break- fast. dinner and supper. aAs_ for the Reveria Sisters, they sure have one classy act. And these girls have a way about them that’s rath- er nifty pithy. if you can get the drift’ of my chatter. The feature picture for the week is the latest all-talking Vitaphone drama “On Trial”. “On Trial" has just finished a long run on Broad- way and is regarded as one of the greatest talking pictures yet proad- need, With a cast of some of the ablest stars of the screen and the legiti- mate stage, “On Trial” tells a thrilling story of a mysterious mur- der, which was unrayelled in the court room. The picture is made immeasurably more interesting than was ever possible with mo- tion pictures by the characters talking.

There is no question as to the quality of this vehicle with such clever enter- tainers as Vivian Brown, melodious songbird, “Freddie’ Washington and Al Moore, the inter-national dancers de-luxe and the Four Choc- olate Song Birds. And in addition to these widely famous musical comedy stars, there was Alex Love- joy, a sort of a modern Bert Wil- liams, Freddy Tyler and the team of Louis and Buster. As the reader may suspect, Mr. Cooper acted in a sort of master-of- ceremonies capacity and did a bit of hoofing as well. This Cooper boy has a way of his own and well, you should hear how the ladies of that Monday matinee raved over him. Poor fish or rather butter- flies; forever seeking the flames— and destruction. But that's their little red-wagon—my duty is to tell of the entertainment at the Lin- coln, Alex Lovejoy is really seen at his best in this Black Bird vehicle of Cooper's. Alex’s imitation of the immortal Bert Williams’ pantomine of a darky player in a card game is good. About as good as any we have seen. Vivian Brown’s singing is another outstanding feature that is certain to please. Freddy Tyler's “Snakhip” dance is a sparkling imitation of Lew Leslie's Mister Tucker’s specialty dance, As for the Chocolate Songbirds and the hoofers, Louis and Buster. each and every one is a big cog to the ma- chine. The feature photoplay for the week is “Annapolis”, a gripping story of two midshipmen and a girl. Most of the action is laid in Annapolis—the United States Na- yal Academy, mid the loves and intrigues of the future admirals and the thunders of the guns which they are learning to command. John Mack Brown, Jeanette Loft and Herbert Bosworth are the fea- tured players in) “Annapolis”. At the Alhambra Murder takes place at the Al- hambra Theatre this week, in be- tween the top and bottom of a mu- sical comedy program featuring Sandy Burns, Montrose (Apus) Brooks, George Wiltshire, Ted Blackmon, Doris Rheubottom, the sixteen dancing daisies and others. In a lonely country house, Ella Davenport is killed. The question is, who killed her? Well, if you really wish to know the answer, then visit the Alhambra this week. Amanda Randolph once again takes to dramatics and is seen to advant- age. In this country house there are weird and peculiar noises— rappings on the walls. ceilings, from the floor. Then there's a pis- tol shot, a scream and the ill fated victim is found—dead. Oh what a gruesome story and how cleverly it is unfolded to the audience. But, like all mysteries there is a solution and Mandy or rather the BILLIE RICNALAN, our great favorite, is out in the IVindy City-—Chicago—and is as popular there as here. mysterious Mrs, Murphy springs the big surprise, Sandy Burns as “Ashes” stars in the musical comedy halves and how. The title of this part of the program is “Crazy Rhythm” and Sandy or rather “Ashes” plays his part jam-up.

It is mot hard for a per- former with a good line to make better than an average living. But the income of the profession is unevenly distrt- buted, lean periods following fat ones in irregular succession. This usually results in unbalanced habits of spending. While the pay check shows three figures to the left of the decimal they make plenty whoopee and when there isn’t any pay check at all they panhandle, When old age creeps up on the average actor he is caught with his economic pants down, so to speak, and is glad to get a job as doorman or watchman of some theater. The human interest stories of the tabloids teem with anecdotes of erst- while prosperous performers who end up their lives in menial positions in the theaters where they formerly shone as stars. tn the case of actresses, the lucky ones wind up as keepers of boarding houses catering to the profession. The less fortunate ones eke out a miserable existence selling lead pencils in the white light district. Charitable institutions maintained by the profession for the aged and indigent of the calling take care of a number of super- annuated pertormers. The number ot actors who doze away the twilights of life in these friendly shelters is astonishingly large. And the number of performers who have gone over the hill to the poor house is not nearly as large as the annual mul- titude who ask for doles and benefits to pay the doctor, the landlady and the delicatessen man. As the usual progress of the actor is from glamour to pen- ury it is a pleasant relief to cone the careers of the relatively few who advance from glamour to security. It is good news, for instance, to read that Johnny Hudgins has made the world safe for old age by purchasing a $15,000 home in the Bronx. Bill Robinson, “Bojangies”’, has ‘obtained one of the Dunbar apartments tor a nest when the evening shadows begin to fall. When Ford Dabney lays down his baton for the last time he can look any landlord in the face and tell him to go to hell, and then retire to the shelter of his own rooftree in West 139th Street. If the worst happens to Irvin C. Miller he can still get by by renting rooms in his house in 131st Street...Clarence Williams has a cozy nest feathered for the sunset of life in West 136th Street, and Frank Wilson, who plays the title role in “Porgy”, has a house by the roadside in Corona,..Danie! Hay- nes, star of the coming picture “Halleluiah”, is all fixed up for the carpet-slipper and kidney-pill period of life with a place in Staten Island. Some of our performers have done a little better than fix things up neatly for themselves. For instance, U. S. Thompson, husband of the late Florence Mills, owns an apartment house in West 133rd Street...When Flourney Miller kicks off this mortal coil the madame and Olivette will still be able to make the grade by collecting the rents from a house in St. Nicholas Avenue. Shelton Brooks is a big cottage and bungalow man in Jamaica. They say that Shelton, who is all smiles on the stage, looks as hard as any other landlord when the tenants ask him how about reducing the rent.

Backstage with Stagestruck Cora Green's Contribution to Our Radio Hour IN SOME UNACCOUNTABLE WAY we forgot to mention Miss Cora Green's splendid contributions in our story of the Tattler's Radio Hour over W.A.B.C. This was an unpardonable oversight on our part and one that we deeply regret. Miss Green's two selections met with wonderful response form nearly a score of radio fans who sent us several letters and twice as many telephone calls, all of which were very complimentary to the winsome little songbird. We take this opportunity to make a public apology to the little star of "The Ebony Showboat" and wish to assure her that we feel this oversight far more keenly than she did or does. It is not our way to be unappreciative of our friends and we have Miss Green very high on our list of friends. Incidently, the Tattler Hour next month will be the third Friday, April 19th from 10 o'clock until 11. At that time we hope to have Miss Green sing for the radio fans once again.

Looks as if these birds will shatter another record for endurance at this famous old playhouse. * * * SPEAKING OF PHILLY by the way, outside of the Standard and the Garrick, the other three theatres have cut out colored shows for the time being at least. The Pearl is featuring the all talkies and the Gibson has a photoplay also this week. The Bijou has closed temporarily but will revert back on re-opening, with burlesque or white vaudeville acts. --- OLLIE BURGOYNE opened with a white company of sixteen last week at the Waldorf Theatre in a play entitled, "Solitaire." Miss Burgoyne, who is one of the first of our internationally famous entertainers, gained prominence as a snake dancer many years ago. She has appeared before royalty throughout Europe. --- JIMMY MARSHALL, WHO has of fices in West 46th Street, just off Broadway, is lining up a cast for the "Blue Singer." another all-colored all-talkie photo play in which Mamie Smith is to be starred. * * * "PORGY," THE SENSATIONAL play of Negro life in the south, is booked for an European engagement of six weeks with a conditional option.

Cartier, for we hate suspense. --- DRAKE AND WALKER are booked for a return engagement at the Booker T. Washington Theatre, St. Louis, this week. The Drake players were at this house a few weeks ago and the result was a sell-out at every performance. --- BILLY MITCHELL, he of the crazy feet, and his classy little aggregation of musical comedy players, open in New Rochelle the latter part of April. Their engagement will be an indefinite one or perhaps a summer run, depending on the quality of Billy's productions. He will add a number of new stars to his cast, including among others, Mamie (Racehorse) Smith, "Frisco' Bowman and a black-face comedian. "Blondina" Stern of course, will be his outstanding star. Campbell and Farr will do the hooting along with six or eight brownskin maids. And there'll be a jazzy jazz band to furnish the inspiration. ```markdown ``` JOHNNY SAWYER, THE half pint size trap drummer of the Lincoln Theatre, celebrated his umpteenth birthday at his residence, 2332 Seventh Avenue, last Saturday evening. Well, if you know Johnny, you sure know how he and the gang celebrated the occasion of his arrival in this baneful "Vale of tears." Yep; they Just drowned their Joy, and how. --- SUSAYE BROWN AND Sammy Vanderhurst are playing at Proctor's 125th Street Theatre the last half of this week. They opened the first part of the week at Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theatre. * * * OLLIE ALEXANDER AND Marguerita Slaughter will be seen in a new all-talkie photo play with Webb's orchestra. The young ladies worked as dancers and what's got us guessing is what sort of dance did they feature. We have an eye-full of imagination of Miss Alexander doing a tap dance. As for Miss Slaughter, picture her doing a "Salome," or dancing for the head of her "John, the Baptist." * * * IRVIN C. MILLER'S "Brownskin Models" are at the Elmore Theatre, Pittsburg, this week. The cast includes among others, "Billie" Young, George Crawford, Eva Metcalf, Chattfield Patterson, Blanche Thompson, "Yip" Green, Charles Saltus, Willie Brown, Harrison Blackburn and a fast stepping beauty chorus. --- THE HOWARD THEATRE, Washington, D.

He claims we were in error about his show opening and closing in "One" as he refused to work for some reason or other. According to him, it was Billy Mitchell's revue that made the one nite stand at the Apollo in West 125th Street. Well, we'll stand being corrected Quintard. And believe it or not, we sure are glad to have you right once at least. --- HALARIA FRIENDS SURE did some nifty clowning last week at the Lafayette Theatre. The Halarious one found herself and lived up to her name. Miss Friends brought up the end of a chorus number with a bit of clowning that pleased. She was doing her stuff with the "Blackouts of 1929." --- TIM AND GERTJE MOORE made "Whoopee" at the Sunday midnight benefit for the Pullman Porter's Brotherhood at the Lafayette Theatre and how.

Jones, reader and entertainer, assisted by Miss Lorenzo Cole, pianist. Page Eleven at Grace Congregational Church, Rev. A. C. Garner, Pastor, on Friday evening, March 22nd. The following program was rendered: "Soaring." Chumann, Miss Lorenza Cole; From Act 1, "Within the Law," Bayard Veller (by special arrangement with Samuel French of New York). Miss Venzella Jones; From Act II, "Within the Law," Bayard Veller (by special arrangement with Samuel French of New York), Miss Venzella Jones; Childish Impersonations, Venzella Jones; "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child," Coleridge Taylor, Miss Lorenza Cole; One Act Version of "Goat Alley," Ernest Culbertson (by permission from the Author), Miss Venzella Jones; "The One Legged Goose," anonymous; "When Mulindy Sings," Dunbar, Miss Venzella Jones; "Wilder Doodles," Marietta Holly, Miss Venzella Jones. Miss Jones rightfully placed herself as one of the foremost readers of the race. She showed a fine mastery of her technique in her art, her work was carefully prepared, her enunciation clear and modern, and her impersonations true and typical. In her rendition "When Malindy Sings," she dwelled upon the spiritual beauty of the poem, so often misinterpreted and abused by those who dive too lightly into its context. We commend Miss Jones on her work and efforts to maintain an idealistic, cultured standard. Miss Cole, a student of the Jullard Foundation, displayed the technique and poise in her renditions and proved to be a pianist of unusual rank and standing.

The forty-two ladies who assembled to play bridge were elegant in soft spring evening gowns and added that last touch of attractiveness. After the game ended with the presentation of a leather desk set to Mrs. Alene Hudnell of Flushing, a hand drawn bridge set to Mrs. Ossie Garden of Brooklyn, a crystal salad set to Mrs. Rose Parris of Ozone Park and a leather book cover to Mrs. Irene Royall of Harlem, a delicious supper was served by Mrs. Mozella Swann, proprietor of the Jack and Jill. In the midst of the game, eighteen of the husbands crashed the party and carried on a rival affair upstairs which eventually proved to be the stellar attraction because the ladies joined them for dancing. During the entire evening, the best of music had been floating over the gathering and finally Lady Jane Best was inspired to sing and Prof. Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell of Brooklyn to render an instrumental solo. Those who enjoyed Mrs. Cachemallle's hospitality were: Mrs. Christine Caldwell, Mrs. Alene Hudnell, Mrs. Lottie Havens, Mrs. Irene Royal, Mrs. Violet Bacon, Mrs. Henrietta Williams, Mrs. Lyla Gillis, Mrs. Sarah Rawlins, Mrs. Fanny Robinson, Mrs. Jane Best, Mrs. Ossie Gardeen, Mrs. Roberta Crumpler, Mrs. Mattle Bowe, Mrs. Blossom Holland, Mrs. Julia Fitzgerald, Mrs. Eva Williams, Mrs. Adelaide Leonard, Mrs. Florence Battles, Mrs. Edith Milburn, Mrs. Ethel Henry, Mrs. Nan Perry, Miss Winifred Oray, Mrs. Anna J.

Burns, Mrs. Stella Castro, and Mrs. Beatrice Taylor. --- Wednesday at high noon "the last sad tribute" was paid to all that remained of the physical body of the beautiful Lottie Williams, who had survived her illustrious husband, Bert Williams, exactly seven years to the month. Wherever she had gone, always charming, gracious, yet sad, her friends had dolefully shaken their heads and said, "She has never been the same since Bert died." And it was true. Alone she lived in their home on Seventh Avenue, alone with memories and treasures which together they had stored away. She never complained, yet she was never gay and somehow, although her relatives and friends hated to part with her, they could not but feel that she was happy. She had been ill for several months at the Wiley Wilson Sanitarium; so ill that her niece in Chicago, Mrs. Laura Tyler Boone, came East with her two children, Lottie and Carrie (named for their grandmother and aunt) to manage her home and be near her. From the beginning of her illness, her change for recovery seemed slight. At Christmas she took a turn for the worse, but fought valiantly to live and pulled through. Fought valiantly for one reason—she was determined to return to the home where she had spent her last days with her husband. And after she got home, she relaxed and set out to meet him. --- For weeks she had talked constantly of St. Patrick's Day. "It will soon be St. Patrick's Day. I hope St. Patrick's Day will be bright. Everything must be green for St. Uatrick's Day. Today is St. Patrick's Day. Call Lottie and Eunice. Don't let the children go to Sunday school today. Nobody must leave me today." And at quarter past five on St. Patrick's afternoon she died. She had lived gloriously. She died peacefully. --- She and John Duncan had been neighbors and friends for years. To him she had confided just how she wished to be laid at rest. "In the same grave with Bert at Woodlawn Cemetery; from St. Phillips and at high roon. The old pals of the Williams THE CHURCH OF ST.

And what makes it so bad is—we never have liked cold shoulders—we much prefer cold chicken. This incident brought back so forcibly to my memory the story in Greek Mythology—the awarding of the golden apple to the most beautiful woman. We can well imagine the predicament of poor Paris when he had to "pass up" all the other dames and hand over the goods to Venus. We believe we have said every girl we know here in Brooklyn is lovely, pretty, charming, sweet, darling, and every other adjective describing feminine charm. But all the trouble was caused by my using the "est" degree on one young lady's looks.

SYPHILIS may attack the eye in any of its stages. There may be a sore in the region of the eye and especially upon the conjunctiva (kon-junk-tivah), which is the delicate membrane which lines the eye lids. Its appearance under these conditions is characteristic of the primary sore in other locations. Marked redness and ulceration attack the mucous membrane of the eye PETER H. during the secondary stage of syphilis. The inflammation may involve all of the structures of the eye. There may be symptoms of general haziness and the reaction of the eye may be very sluggish. There may be dimness of vision, pain and sensitiveness to light to a greater or less degree. The retina and the optic nerve may become involved. One eye is usually involved at a time. The symptoms are night blindness, objects seen may appear to be smaller than they really are, or distorted and there may be defective vision. In the third stage the disease may produce syphilitic tumors of the different portions of the eye, and at times ulceration of the face may invade the external region of the eye. The bones around the eye may become involved with considerable destruction. Optic neuritis or inflammation of the optic nerve is usually an indication of syphilis or the brain or syphilitic meningitis. The disease may be confused with a tumor of the brain and an examination of the spinal fluid may be necessary to confirm this condition. The diagnosis of syphilis of the eyes is determined by the clinical history, blood test (Wassermann reaction) and by competent examination of the eyes. The examination should be made only by a physician. Symptoms as are above described require immediate attention in order to prevent damage to or save the eyesight. Do not let them run on.

The price is too hot as well as too fast—and, Buddy Boy, you really can't last much longer. We wonder are you grieving, 'Sugar.'

Dixon, while weighing but 109 pounds beat the world's best bantams and then taking on the feathers, often gave away twelve pounds or so. He was the first American to bring back a title from a foreign land—that was when he went to England and beat Nunce Wallace, the English champion. Joe Gans, we've been often asked by the present generation of fans "How good was he." Let us tell you a story. Jimmy Dougherty's friend SOME twenty-one or twenty-two years ago, the slim, plaintive-looking Negro from Baltimore drifted into the small town adjacent to Philadelphia known as Leiperville where Jimmy Dougherty holds forth. Gans had done a lot of fighting around Philadelphia and most of his training for that fighting at Dougherty's place. Dougherty was his friend. SOME twenty-one or twenty-two years ago, the plaintive-looking Negro from Baltimore into the small town adjacent to Philadelphia as Leiperville where Jimmy Dougherty holds Gans had done a lot of fighting around Philadelphia and most of his training for that fighting at theerty's place. Dougherty was his friend. They sat together one bright evening on the thing of a little bridge and Gans told Jim his tru. He had just parted company with his old man Al Herford. He owed Herford money, he was—he was broke. He was in bad in nearly fistic quarter of the land because of suspicion the honesty of some of his bouts. He wanted somewhere and get a new start, he though California might offer new hope for him, though he knew he stood none too well with fans and promoters. Joe was obviously in bad shape physically. Dougherty decided the best thing to do with first was to take him to a doctor. "If your friend of this boy, try and get him to quit he remarked the doctor to Dougherty confidential, he doesn't quit he wont last long. One of his is badly infected. He is in really serious situation." Dougherty told Joe what the doctor He loaned Gans $20, all the money he could and that was the last he saw of Joe until 14 years later, when he met him in Baltimore. Joe paid back the loan. Our point is just that Gans, then about thirty-one years old and a stricken by the white plague, went out to Georgia and stopped Mike Twin Sullivan, the weight once in fifteen rounds at San Francisco again at Lost Angeles in ten. They sat together one bright evening on the railing of a little bridge and Gans told Jim his troubles. He had just parted company with his old manager Al Herford. He owed Herford money, he was sick. he was broke. He was in bad in nearly every fistic quarter of the land because of suspicion as to the honesty of some of his bouts. He wanted to go somewhere and get a new start, he thought that California might offer new hope for him, even though he knew he stood none too well with coast fans and promoters. Joe was obviously in bad shape physically, and Dougherty decided the best thing to do with him first was to take him to a doctor. "If you're a friend of this boy, try and get him to quit boxing," remarked the doctor to Dougherty confidentially. "If he doesn't quit he wont last long. One of his lungs is badly infected. He is in really serious condition." Dougherty told Joe what the doctor said. He loaned Gans $20, all the money he could spare and that was the last he saw of Joe until several years later, when he met him in Baltimore and Joe paid back the loan. Our point is just this: Gans, then about thirty-one years old and already stricken by the white plague, went out to California and stopped Mike Twin Sullivan, the welterweight once in fifteen rounds at San Francisco and again at Lost Angeles in ten.

MOSES .....A Straight Poker Flush..... ```markdown ``` From left to right—Gans, Dixon, Walcott, Johnson, Flowers. JOE GANS—Greatest Lightweight that ever lived, is the six of spades. GEORGE DIXON, World's bantam and Featherweight Champion, we'll call the seven, JOE WALCOTT, peer of all men under 150 is number eight; JACK JOHNSON, the one only is the nine o' spades, while TIGER FLOWERS, rounds out the "Straight Poker Flush." refereed and promoted by the late Tex Rickard, Joe fought the following list of tough light-weights: Knocked out Kid Herman in eight rounds, beat Jimmy Britt in six in the famous "ulna bone" squabble; travelled twenty rounds to a decision over tough George Memsic, stopped Bart Blackburn, Spike Robson and Rudy Unholtz—then suffered two knockouts at the hands of Bat Nelson, once in seventeen rounds and again in twenty rounds. Most persons always thought that making weight for Nelson in the first at Goldfield was responsible for Gans's condition, but Dougherty's story shows that his lungs had begun to go long before that time. He must have been a man of tremendous fortitude and courage to undergo the smashing campaign he put himself through between the time he sat on the bridge with Jimmy Dougherty and the day he boxed Jabez White ten rounds in New York City—that was in 1909 when your humble correspondent was but nine years of age and dreamed dreams about our career as a journalist. The following year poor Joe passed away,—for at least five years he had carried on in a tubercular condition. *** Walcott Generally Feared JOE WALCOTT, former welterweight champion of the world nicknamed "The Barbadoes Demon" stood five feet two inches and weighed only 135 pounds—yet he defied the world. Tom O'Rourke, a mighty fine friend of ours once told us that Walcott's equal will never be seen in a ring. He was so good that he not only beat all the welterweights, but once trained down to 131½ pounds RINGSIDE and agreed to stop Kid Lavigne the lightweight champion in fifteen rounds. Lavigne positively refused to get in the ring with Walcott unless the latter agreed to stop him. COTT, former welterweight world nicknamed "The Barbadian feet two inches and weight it he defied the world. Tom's friend of ours once told us that never be seen in a ring.

BOTH of these truly great champions entered the weighing room naked except for two bulky turkish towels that adorned their thighs. in a smoke clouded room at the corner of Broome street and the Bowery Walcott weighed 131 and a half while Lavigne scaled 132 and a half pounds. There are mighty few of the present generation who know just how this memorable battle ebbed and flowed: It was the fiercest,—bloodiest most sanguinary ring battle in the history of the roped square. From the opening gong the battlers fought like two strange bulldogs that had been tied up and unfed for a week. They were as game as fighting-cocks and both could hit like a trip-hammer, and withstand all sorts of punishment. At the end of the sixth round little George Dixon, who was assisting O'Rourke in handling Walcott told Joe that he wasn't giving everything that he had, but he had better do it or the money wagered on him would be lost. 串 串 串 "I Can Lick Him Anytime" I, not yet a victim of the scams that nearly bent him in a round on to the bloody finish. "I can lick him anytime I and knock him out in a round. Valcott came to his corner a WALCOTT, not yet a victim of the stomach and leg cramps that nearly bent him double from the seventh round on to the bloody finish, answered laconically; "I can lick him anytime I want.—I'll cut loose and knock him out in a round or two." But when Walcott came to his corner at the end of the seventh, he was in fearful pain from cramps and shook as with the ague. They attacked him so badly he couldn't sit down but stood up and grasped the ring ropes while his handlers kneaded and massaged him. During the final eight rounds of the mill, Walcott suffered continuously from these attacks, most of the fans who attended the fight being of the opinion that his standing up between rounds was mere braggadocio. They little knew what agony Joo really was in.

The crack Rochester-Centrals furnished the opposition for Renaissance Sunday and one of the fastest games of the current season was the result. The score, 40-33, falls to tell graphically just how furious the play was. At half time the two fives were practically deadlocked, only a single marker (19-18) separating them as they went to the cooling showers. "Honey" Russell was a constant thorn on the side of the "Rens" throughout the full forty minutes, giving an exhibition of floor work and shooting not surpassed by a visiting player this season. Saitch, Slocum, Ricks, Sanders and Jenkins, were in there for another win over the team that whipped them by twenty points on the road, and with Sunday night's victory the chart now reads two to one in favor of the World's Colored professional champion. In an interesting prelimianry game, Mercer's crack Metro-Diamonds rode on to Eastern amateur honors by worsting the Scholastics to the tune of 28-17. An account of the coming Celtic-Renaissance tilt will be carried on another column of this page. Bob Douglas has arranged a monster basketball carnival for this coming Sunday. In two preliminary games the Staggs will oppose the Metro-Diamonds — Buffaloes will meet the Newark Student Council, and the treat of the evening brings Visitation, pride of Brooklyn and a real tough nut for any team to hurdle against our own champion "Rens."

Burial was Thursday. ```markdown ``` At the Orpheum Theatre last week was one of Newark's most popular stars in the theatrical world, in the person of Miss Cora Redd. Miss Redd will be remembered as the one who won the prize several seasons ago at the Tuesday evening dancing class; captured prize at the Savoy ball room; was the outstanding star in the burlesque, "Uncle Tom's Cabin"; spent several seasons abroad playing in all the principal cities in Europe and it at present starring in "Ebony Showboat." All her friends wish her much success in her undertaking. Keep up your good work, Cora, Dear, because all the gang is behind you. * * * Last Monday evening Newark Elks B.

Murphy, Raymond, Doby, Dickson, Tucker starred for the Elks and had the sea-shore boys bewildered by their passing and shooting of baskets fro mall angles of the court. A large delegation also motored down and they certainly did root for the Elks. Good work, Joe West, end the season with a grand stand finish and tell the wide, wide world that the Elks have a basketball team. --- That cute little chap known as "Peanuts," who knocked 'em dead last Friday evening at opportunity night, at the Orpheum Theatre, still has everyone very much enthused during each performance of "Ebony Boat," playing last week at Orpheum. This little youngster certainly bears watching and many have predicted a bright future for her. --- Spurgeon Robinson is very handy in assisting ladies with their wraps at whist parties. Look out Prince, R. may get you yet. All ye basketball fans sit up and take notice and lend an ear to the glad tidings. The Newark Student Council defeated the Original Collegians of Greater New York, last Tuesday evening at Belmont Avenue School, before a large audience—one of the best games played thi sseason. The Collegians led the Council in the first half, 26-13, but the Student Council rallied and came back strong in the second half to overcome this lead, winning by three points, making the final score—Council 48, Collegians 45. The team work of the Council and Collegians was something rare to be seen, and the shooting and floor work of both teams was extraordinary. Frank Tucker and his famous one-hand shot, in the last minute of play put the game on ice for the Council.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE COURSE-For License No. 1 Exam. N. Y. City Elementary Schools They have been telling about some of the really representative young things that Buffalo possesses, even though it has been a bit difficult to convince us, that it would have been possible to even show a handful at any one time. We are forced, however to admit here that after seeing how they turned out to a mere basketball game, and mind you there was not any dancing, before or after. No other attraction but the game, can you beat it? Well, you understand, folks, it was like this. The Y. M. C. A.'s H. Y. Club of Buffalo entertained the "H. Y." Club of Rochester in the final game of their schedule, and we counted over fifteen hundred people who warmed their way into the gymnasium, more or less, to witness a gala affair of the season. Out of these fifteen hundred, we would say that over five hundred were women. It was the most remarkable thing, to see these lovely ones out cheering and urging their team on to victory. Here is when victory becomes its sweetest—when you have some dear creatures like those we saw Friday evening rooting for you—Telling you "We want a basket" and things of that sort. They strung all around the balcony, eight and ten deep, rooting and yelling for the winner. The boys from Rochester were the more aggressive, even though at certain stages of the game, they were evenly matched. They won of course—something like 26-21. Scores might not lie nor mislead, but these scores do not tend to even tell the fire, nor the fury that came out of that game. From one whistle to the next we saw nothing but action, action and fighting with plenty of team work thrown in to give it color. Here we have two teams evenly matched, neither one has any set up, and victory no walk away, then too, there were a crowd there who appreciated real competition and got it. There was a group that probably would walk many a mile to see that game. We looked around to see just whom we knew but no one came to our rescue at all, and so gentle folks you'll have to be dissappointed till those names or rather some of the names of those ladies of charm are available. We managed to meet a few, however, so you will pardon us while we say a few words by way of mention. --- Cerise Crawford was sitting next to us, and thanks to her for being such an asset in giving us a few names for the press. --- Mrs. Rector came out to see how the Rochester boys interpreted the passtime. She said it was quite an enjoyable occasion, and that she loved the sport. Sam Tobin over in the far corner. all nonchalant and all that sort a thing. Miss Rushels Lee Hill, as lovely as ever. It was quite a social event to her, she remarked. --- Mrs. DuBois also was among the more representative group that tourned out to the gala affair. --- Aubrey Tobin was one of the celebrities there. More power to him. --- Tom Morris, another one of those correct gentlemen, who couldn't help wandering along the line of the common herd, was in evidence. --- Richard Alexander, president of the Ogalia Thalia Social Club, has his own idea of how a Prexy should conduct himself in public. You know the world cherishes and adores individuality. ```markdown ``` Speaking about the Ogalia Thalia Club or whatever it is, we have been trying to find out what this Ogalia Thalia is all about, and it won't be long now before we shall have all information in our hands. Whatever it is all about, they tell us that it is one of the most active clubs in Buffalo, do a lot of entertaining. That the nicest girls belong to it, that they know what it is all about, and that they always move plenty to eat at their parties. And above all things give a party-a-week. Oh, boy. You understand Mr. Alexander had some information for the press, he was to turn over to us Friday night but those ladies those ladies. He told us that he had to visit a sick friend or something like that and, of course, we had to pardon him. --- The "H. Y." Club enjoyed a little inpromptu at the rooms of the Urban League after the game. It only lasted until twelve, because the boys and girls had to be in school the next day. No, next day was Saturday. Well, anyway it lasted till twelve, so that' that. The first Father and Son's week was observed by the group at the Y. M. C. A. in what they term "Open House", which is a good term, indeed. What we want to explain is that this was the first open house, or rather the first observance of it for the month. We trust you know more about this than we do, for we know very little. They, the father and sons, had their banquet Friday night, and we understand they had a large attendance. After all why shouldn't they. Sorry we knew nothing about it before or we would have taken our son—somebody's son—any way. Don't forget to send your social news to Joe College at the New Eastern Hall, Seneca and Michigan. They have often said that the best things in life are free but then most of us can't see things that way at all. On Easter Sunday at the Michigan Avenue "Y" from three to six p. m., they are having a musical program and a silver tea offering. To think that it is all free—free—a tea and what goes with teas. We cannot say that we are aware of the silver part of it, though. Whether the tea will be silver or is it the offering. We have heard a lot about teas and the like, but a silver tea would be a new one on us. But then the offering, well now, whether they are also giving a silver dollar or so, away or not strikes us a little differently. This of course, will be under the auspices of the Buffalo Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. More power to them, is all we have to say at this time. Again we say—that it will be free, whatever it is.

It is merely a new type of creme which is just rubbed into the skin like vanishing cream. Instantly the appearance of the skin is lightened! Immediately all shine and gloss vanish—often for 24 hours. Used on hands, neck and arms it makes them white and smooth. Men find it wonderful for after shaving. They say it removes gloss and shine and gives that creamy ivory tone so valuable in business and social life. This new discovery is called Fan Tan Creme.

"I just love your Lonesome Hearts Column. I think it's great. Jackie, can you find me some nice person to write to? I love to write and I go to lots of shows. I could relate some of the plots, etc., to some one who can't attend so many. "I am a high school graduate, tall, brownskin, weigh 114 lbs., and am a fair looker. At least, I think so. "Jackie, have you got a nice fellow for a girl I am friendly with. Get me a nice fellow to write to. I'd like to write to some one out of town. I haven't many friends. I travel alone." * * * (Conceit in Shakespeare's time did not mean what it does now. Any way our young lady likes not a conceited man). "Would like the acquaintance of a young man, 23-29, with good looks, neat in appearance and not a bit conceited. I am 23, considered good-looking and very congenial, believe in nice times. I am 5 ft. 4, weigh 120 lbs." * * * (Sympathetic person can help this young man make his life different, if I can reach her). "I am appealing to you again and will be very grateful if you can help me. I am very lonely and would appreciate a nice young lady who would be interested in a young man who is trying to make a success in life again. "I am one of the musician pals who wrote you some time before, the one who plays the clarinet and saxophone. While I am here I am studying mighty hard, in fact, the professor tells me I am progressing rapidly and can make a success in life.

(Girls, can't you take this young man out and help him locate the city?) "Well, Jackie, let's see if you can help me. I landed in the big city not so long ago and do not know any young lady here—do not know the city yet. I am looking for a nice young lady about 5 ft. 1 inch, age over 18.

Would like to meet an honest-to-goodness working man with ambition to climb, home-loving, with matrimony in mind, but he must be sincere and 50-50 in the home. Please help, for I am so lonely." --- (Young man craves the acquaintance of one who can appreciate sterling qualities). "I am a lonely lad, light brownskin, five ft. 4, 24 years of age.

I have been a subscriber to your magazine for at least one year. Have read your column and have been acquainted with a number of boys that have married and are living happy through coming in contact with some lovely girl through you. So I thought I would write you myself. Not because I'm confined in a penal institution of the state. By being here one might think me a dubious character, but I have hopes and ambitions. 'I would like to get in touch with a lovely brown complexioned girl of 19-20, about 125 lbs. I am 19, weight 149, five ft. 4 inches. Alnough not an Apollo, I wouldn't hurt lovely eyes. I'm an athlete, formerly a student of Dunbar Know music. Looking forward to a great career with hope and youth in my favor. In the course of time (if it's her desire) I hope to swim the sea of matrimony with a girl such as I described." (Young ladies seem to have some difficulty in locating young men who are appreciative. I am counting my rosary beads in the hope of finding one for a very tender young Miss). "I am quite a lonesome young girl.

I am brownskin, have dark brown eyes, black hair, and am 5 ft. 3, weigh 108 lbs. and am 17 years old. Am not pretty but have personality and charm and am easy on the eye." (Young man offers to explain his case to anyone with a listening ear). "Dearest Jackie—Wonder if there are any breaks left for one who is really lonesome? "I have constantly been reading your correspondence which is very interesting, and I must heartily congratulate your L. H. C. Also the hearty courtesy and faithfulness with which you conduct it.

"Dear friend, Jackie: I thank you for your kindness in trying to place me with a lady pal as a hairdresser. Everything I said to you in my last letter is true and I mean every word. 'Bajangles is sure a lucky kid. When I picked up the paper and saw him and his loving wife, I took hope. I said to myself, 'that is what a good wife can do for me.' Jackie, I don't believe Bojangles got the last one (I mean that last good woman), do you?' (A reader tells me that his pen won't behave, but he got his message across just the same). "A lonesome young man wishes to have a word of consolation from the outside world; desires if possible, to become acquainted with a lady of Southern birth but in Northern states at present. Would like her to be light brownskin, five ft. 4, weighing anywhere from 125 to 155, nice looking, age from 21 to 35 years. I trust that I am not asking too much. "I am light brown, weigh 146, considered nice looking. Am 38 but look a good deal younger; height five ft. 7 inches. Will be released in October. Would like to hear from some young lady before I enter the outside world. I am a professional automobile mechanic and a good electrician; good dancer and have no bad habits. Never been in trouble before. Have a nice disposition and make a good salary for a man of my position." --- (Correspondent says that loneliness is one of the greatest and most perplexing problems of the day and that a number of girl friends sanction her opinion). "I am a New Yorker by birth and have lived here most of my life. One would necessarily think that I should have every advantage of coming in contact with the finest type of men and plenty of them. Well, this is the situation: "I have been a girl who, because of many adversities was compelled to enter the business world rather early; consequently, in order to complete my education and to fit myself for something worth while in life, I was compelled to make many sacrifices and to give up practically all social activities, thereby severing my chances to meet new acquaintances. "I suppose you would like to know something of my appearance and qualifications: Light brown skin with very dark brown hair and eyes, not pretty, but my friends call me petite. I am a high school graduate—had several years of college training and am now attending college in the evening; have a nice Civil Service position and now feel that since I have more leisure than I formerly had, I should enjoy the companionship of some nice young man. I must admit that I am rather fastidious in my taste, and I sohuld like to know a young man of college training with a profession. He might even be a student, with a bright outlook, who is aspirant, with character and principle, and above all things, tall and neat of appearance. He may range from the age of 25 to 35 years and must not be opposed to going to church sometimes. I am 24, about five ft. 2, or thereabout, weigh 106 pounds and am American." * * * ("You Can't Keep a Good Man Down.") "Happy Easter to you! "I am really lonesome and am waiting to hear from a pal.

Like baseball, etc. "Had an accident with my car, that is why I'm here. Am an artist. This is some of my work in the corner (a rabbit with Easter eggs near). If there is one who will write, I will prove to them what a true pal means." (Color doesn't play any part—but there are qualifications). "Please, dear Jackie, try and get me a companion who is willing to escort me through this lonely life. I would like a young man about 5 ft. 8-p ft. tall 135-140 lbs., color black, brown, or yellow. If black—must have money; brown, must have 'it'; yellow—ah—well. I am 19, wheigh 120 lbs., considered good looking, able to pass for a brazen blonde of the Caucasian race( although am full Negro blood." (This youngster doesn't worry over things. What's the use?) "I am sorry that the Dancing Daughters did not leave their names and addresses, but I won't worry about them if you will put this in your Lonesome Hearts Column: "I would like to have some out-of-town girl to write to me, so I could get acquainted. I am a boy of 17, five ft. 7 inches, brown skin, nice manners; do not drink or smoke. Am a working boy and have a little money in the bank. If the person that answers will send me her photo, I will be glad to send her mine. Please try to find some one for me because I am very lonesome." * * * (Hatred of peoples and classes sometimes proves to be a bomerang which returns itself in the form of loneliness). "I am a lonely girl seeking an associate, one fond of amusements, dances, etc. And of course, he must not be a foreigner. Do you think a nice young man will consider or write to me? "I am 17 years of age, 5 ft. 3 inches, weighing 110 lbs., medium brownskin with black bobbed hair and I am not bad to look at.
