Nell Occomy, Earl Sweeting and The-
odore Upsure, leaders of the “groupe
artistic’ of Harlem and the Village,
sponsored another farewell party for
Augusta Savage, sculptor, who sails in
september lor Lurope, saturday eve-
ning at the Upshure Studio in Waverly
Piace. A very guy aud busy party.
Busy, because Bessye Bearden and
Clara Bruce presented a very elaborate
program which ineluded piano solos
by Louis Williams, Harry Huggs, Por-
ter Grainger, Kilmer Stoner and ‘lheo-
dore Upshure; vocal solos by William
Edward Lew, Dr. Fayde and Chauncey
Northernti dramatic readings by Olivia
Ward Bush-Banks and Will Anthony
Maddon; and speeches by Dr. Gold-
water, Edgar Gray, Arthur Lee, An-
toni Salemme, Onoria Ruotolo, Cleve:
land Allen, Eugene Kinckle Jones,
Clara Bruce and Miss Savage.
‘Lhe hostesses, Paulo Andreo and
Geraldyn Dismond, soon gave up the
plan of introducing people and left each
guest to decide for himself whom he
wished to meet and how to go about
it. Ann McVey and Jean Donovan
ndded the last, but not least interest-
ing note by bringing forth a supply of
the proper refreshments for a torrid
night. .

It was readily detected that the audi-
ence who attended the recital given on
Monday evening last at the Mme. C.
J. Walker Studio by Justin Sandridge,
formerly of Boston, was one of music
lovers. The gathering was 1 most ap-
preciative one, and although this makes
Mr. Sandridge’s fesrth time te appear
during his short stay here, we could
hear him many times and yet not be-
come bored. We must speak especially
of his Debussy group, for in this he
showed exceptional skill. One might
say he lost himself entirely in that
his execution came purely from within
and was anything but mechanical. Al-
though he was gracious enough to
render many encores at the end of the
program, there were those who still in-
sisted on hearing more; so, a very
small group meandered to his private
studio where he rendered special re-
quest numbers.
The guests were: Albert Carroll,
Inez Clough, Muriel Draper and party;
Minar A, Lyngklip, novelist; Sari Price
Patton, Augusta Savage, Max Ewing
md party; John W. Work of Fisk;
Carl Helm, Carroll oByd, Porter Grain-
xer, James T. Hubert, Taylor Gardon,
thetta ‘Clifford of Washingtonfi Agnes
Thorpe, Prof. Grant of Salem; Baul
tailey, Olivia Bush-Banks, Frankie
ison, Richard Bruce, Dr. C. H. Seeley,
Thelma Brunson, O. Richard Reid,
slewellyn Ranson and students from
ractically every city in the union.

There was a time when the summer
tudents of Columbia University were

and the mountains and left a bewild-
ered and harrassed residue to cope with
80 many beruffled and determiped fe-
males, bent.on sowing a crop of wild
oats . For years it was ever thus, But
this" summer we find a new stream
trickling in . Indianapolis, no doubt,
inspired by frequent visits of our own

sent a coterie of teachers to try their
luck in the Big City. They are attrac-

sessors of a breeziness that is decided-

Mrs. M. C. Lawton gave an interest-

Fayerweather Studio. One point clear-
ly brought out was “No matter whit
heights one may climb, in education ar
culture, it is to no avail unless he tries
to carry with him the less fortunate
members of his race.” To show that
our group can be united was shown in
she administration of the late Theodore
Roosevelt, in this incident—of the
“shooting up of the town of Browns-
ville.” The race from North to South,
East to West felt this keenly for no
one could see any good reason why this
regiment should have been disbanded,

Bathing Beausy Pageant
At Savoy Ballroom ©
The Peaches of the Beaches to
Again Complete in Mid-Summer
Classic. — Record Number of
Entries Received.
As usual, Savoy Balloroom again
presents the unusual. The spectac-
ular feature has caused such a fu-
rore of excitement: during the past
3ummer seasons, yes, we mean the
Savoy Bathing Beauty Pageant.
Will you HMsten to a few words
about it? Let’s go!
The contest is open to the public.
Bvery young lady is eligible to
enter without any charge whatso-
aver. Remember, there is no red
‘tape, entrance fee or the like. All
they are asked to do is to appear
in their own bathing suit, one
piece, two piece, or in pieces. It is
a lot of fun, this bathing beauty
pageant. You may not know it, but
you have got something to show,
so show it. Here is the idea. Every
Saturday night during August, com-
mencing Saturday night, August 3,
at Savoy Ballroom, Lenox Avenue
and 140th Street, there will be held
an elimination pageant. Five big or
little bouncing beautiful bathing
beauties will be chosen as the most
beautiful. There will be a great big
eash prize for each of the five win-
ners each Saturday night. Think of
that, you mamas. We forgot to tell
you that all the girls who enter the
pageant will be admitted on the
night of the contest they are in,
absolutely free, If you do not win a
prize the first time out, you can
re-enter the following Saturday
night. Think of the chances you
have. Now, a word about the final
contest. The girls chosen as win-
ners of the elimination contest will
be grouped together on Saturday
night, August 30th in the final
Grand Beauty Ball, and from this
group will be picked the 1929
Queen of the Savoy. $200 in gold
a gorgeous jeweled crown, emblem-
atic of the title, will be awarded
to the girl. Name, fame and fortune
await the winner. Think of the
$200 in gold alone. It is worth some-
thing to be looking after all, isn’t
it?
Take this seriously you beautiful
pirls. Get an entry blank and file
your application to enter immedi-
ately. You can get one at the Sa-
voy Ballroom from any of the at:
fendants. Remember, name, win,
collect. Make your name a _ house-
nold word in Harlem. Your picture
in all the New York newspapers.
Your name on every lip. Money in
he bank. It's a great life. You -will
9e@ a hotter mama, after being a
ool bathing beauty. See if you
won't. File your entry now before
t is too late. ¢

WITHOUT a doubt, the Osbiny Club's Yacht Party on Saturday last was about the swankiest event of the week. But, nothing else could be expected, for the Osbiny ensemble is swankiness personified. The time set for sailing was 7:30 P. M., and long before this time the guests had arrived, and how! Absolutely, this party of pleasure seekers was the most gorgeous we've had the good fortune to gaze upon.

We would almost wager our week's salary that many a damsel suffered sleepless nights, no end, thinking of what to wear, in order to outdo another or the other merry maids, for miladies were dolled up and down for this occasion in the zonkiest of yachting attire. Sport dresses predominated with the ever-fashionable organdies holding their own; also the chiffons. The men! Handsome creatures! They wore outfits ranging from the lowly gob to the ritziest of admirals. The Harry, gracious! He makes a divine skipper.
At any rate 'twas an altogether close-like-those party, from leaving time, till the blush of dawn. (Along with the dawn's blush could be seen the flush that is left on the cheeks of every one who takes the doses of that PreVolstead medicine). There was many a headache the next morning—but being Sunday, who cared about a headache? Who were there? Well, let us see. Oh yes, only about 1,800 folks, and who's going to be bothered with writing all those names. Not us.

The King Bees Social Club held their Second Annual Barn and Ragamuffin Ball at the Renaissance Casino, Wednesday evening, July 24. Despite the warm weather, the affair was one of the greatest novelty dances of the season. About 730 people; dressed in overalls and ginghams and some in specially made ragged costumes, made merry and there was fun galore.
Miss Ivy Johnson, William and Ida Brown, through the courtesy of Edwin Smalls of Smalls' Paradise, and Messrs. George McClennon and Ernest Hunter through the courtesy of the 4 F Social Club contributed to the evening's entertainment.
Four prizes were awarded. A large silver loving cup went to the Buffalo Junior Social Club for the best dressed club. Another silver loving cup to the 4 F Social Club for the club with the most members attending. The prize of $5.00 for the couple most raggledly dressed was won by Miss Maizie and Mr. Trapp. A large box of chocolates to the girl with the most beautiful gingham outfit was won by Mrs. Lillian Kaiser. Mrs. Lucille Archer of Corona, L. I., was a close second for the last prize.
Among the popular clubs attending were the 4 F's Social Club and Ladies' Auxiliary, Lewis Blackie and his Performers' Club, Manhattan Elks' Marching Club, Dapper Don Co-ed Social Club, Buffalo Juniors and the Jolly Fellows. The King Bees, with Allen J. Benton as their president, have been very successful in every undertaking and are
making a strong bid for social club supremacy. They now have a ladies' auxiliary known as the Queen Bees with Mrs. Thomas H. Robinson as president and Miss Lucy Reese as vice-president. The club has closed its activities for the summer from August 1st to September 10th.

A delightful club meeting of The Only Fifteen was held at the home of Miss Edrina Green of 10 West 119th Street on last Thursday evening, July 25, 1929. Much to our surprise, we discovered that our hostess's sister is none other than Miss Ruby Green, a popular young talented contralto. Miss Greene sang a few selections. The pieces were "The Pagan Love Song" and "Weary River."
Another discovery mas made: Our vice-president, Mrs. Antoinette Bethea, in a very sweet soprano voice sang "Lover Come Back to Me" and "Dear Dld Southland," a hit of not many seasons ago, written by J. Henry Cramer.
The Only Fifteen has been organized two months and is doing fine work. The officers are, president, Olga St. Hill; vice-president, Mrs. Antoinette Bethea; secretary, Hazel Scott; treasurer, Mrs. Lillian Jones; sergeant-at-arms, Carmer Temple; chaplain, Marion Miller; editor, Cleo Foster; members: Ethel Walker, Edrina Greene, Mrs. Maric Thompson, Sybil Northover, Enid Northover, Ruby Madden, Eva Coleman and Ethel Ford.

The Club Saratoga was quite the gay place Sunday night. Parties—no end. But quite the gayest was that tossed by the Mermaids—Myrtle White, Amy Brown, Bessie Lattimore and Hulda Holmes, as a farewell for Mermaid Bertha Lambert and honorary member, Lady Nicotine who hopped off Saturday for the beaches at Seabreeze, and Atlantic City. Their party included Jules Bledsoe, Clinton Moore, Bill Hoskins, Frank Forbes, Mae Swails and Woodie Woodruff and was altogether wet and happy.
Bill Haynes, headwaiter and his staff were entertaining a Boston group, Mrs. L. P. Cones, Miss E. Howard, Mrs. Beatrice Van Allen Carter, Charles W. Gatewood and Al Fortune. The revue is clever. Don't miss it. Billy Mitchell is a scream and his new dog act is a wow-or should I say bow-wow. And there is one chocolate brown Venus in the line-up who is torrid like nobody's business.
Plans are being made for the reorganization of the Orlando Club which had disbanded last April. Among those who are devoting their time to this reorganization are: Leon Burnett, Louis Besson, Earl Hayes, Joseph Hall, Lawrence Morgan, and Aubrey Phillips who will act as president pro tem.

The officers and members of the King Bees Social Club, of which Mr. Hubert B. Pierre is treasurer, desires to express its gratitude to the 730 friends who braved the heat on July 24th to attend our Second Annual Barn and Ragmuffin Ball at the Renaissance Casino and the wonderful entertainment afforded us through the courtesy of Mr. Edwin Smalls of the famous Smalls' Paradise, Mr. George McClendon and Ernest Hunter of that everpopular Four F Social Club. We wish to assure you that it shall always be a pleasure for the King Bees to reciprocate and we trust that every one attending our entertainment was satisfied. The King Bees close their activities for forty days—August first to September ninth—each year.

On Friday a party was given for the lovely Smitty Perkins by the Club Royalle. A delightful time was had by all who attended. A delicious supper of cold cuts was served." Smitty and her side kick, Billy Biffin, kept the party hot until 2:30, then the gang took her down to Smalls and there danced to the strains of Charlie Johnson's orchestra until the wee wee hours of the next morn. A few of the popular ones present were: Dot Turner, Ralph Cooper, Vasti Verge, Leonard Kent, May Marsh, Billy Cohen, Isabelle Washington, Teddy Blackmon, Artie Cain, John Smith, Alma Tyus, George La Man, and many others. The party was at the Park Lincoln, and the house was beautifully decorated in lavender, to match the gorgeous lavender gown that was worn by the sweet child, Smitty. This little lady is known otherwise as Louise Riley.

BENNIE BUTLER, Theatrical Editor At The Lafayette Drifting in
The entertainment at the Lafayette Theatre this week displays a number of Ofays doing their stunt for our edification or approval, here in Harlem. It's one of Leonard Harper's black and or rather a brown and pink revue and despite the torrid weather, a goodly sized crowd turned out to be entertained by the pale face children and their aepia brothers and sisters.
Billy Mike Kelly is the chief fundmaker of the lily-white entertainers but is given a lot of assistance from Joe Mulevin. Two lads whose names we failed to get, got a nice ovation for some weird dancing and tumbling and the visiting chorus maids hoofed out a number called the Wedding of The Dolls. A Miss Lillian Wayne did some chirping of a sort, if we have not the names confused and another little lady did a bit of hoofing in a way. But it was somewhat beyond us as to what was what. It might have been burlesque, it might have been musical comedy but whatever it was, it was.
The second half, ah boy, now we are at home. Well, er the second half was more to our understanding and consequently, to our liking. Myra Johnson and Pearl McCormack and the girls opened this second half and how! Bootsey Swann and Johnny Lee offered some comedy concerning a farm, chickens and the longest cow we have ever seen. Well, all during their efforts at comedy, the cow kept wagging her tail and there was not a fly in sight. Coles and Wade do some fair hooing and that's also true of the Misses Fanny Cotton and Juanita Boisseau, two winsome browns. Baby Lee is guilty of a bit of chin music and Lloyd Hollin plays the bad, bad sheriff. But Wilton Crawley, after an absence of almost a year, is back with us and how. This boy sure tried himself, he with that Crawley was one of the famous Lew Crawey was one of the famous Lew Leslie Black Birds and he sure knows his stuff. That Monday night audience, despite the heat, gave him a big ovation. Oh yes, it was corking good entertainment for 50 cents.

THE week of June 20th was one of many parties for our group here. And such a variety of them. From a good low down cabbage supper, to a swank birthday party.
Countee Cullen and I started it off with a small party at his apartment. On Monday evening, July 1st, a few of our friends came in to play cards. They arrived, and after the preliminary greetings and conversation concerning recent events at home—New York—and things going on here, the music from a portable phonograph was so good, we commenced dancing. The cards were forgotten. What, with some hot and low down records by Duke Ellington, hearty sandwiches and a variety of thirst quenchers, things were tight-like-so. Those who honored us with their presence were Dr. Gertrude Curtis, Bessie Miller and daughter, Olivette, Yolande DuBois, Zaidee Jackson, Caska Bond and Hale Woodruff.
Tuesday afternoon, July 2nd. Elizabeth Prophit came to tea after an invitation by Countee Cullen. It was a very pleasant afternoon, for she is a lady- of charming manners. French artists and critics say that Elizabeth Prophit is the only artist of our group here doing great work. During five years here, pieces of her sculpture have been exhibited in the historically great Paris Salon for three consecutive seasons, including the recently closed Salon for 1929.
Thursday evening, July 4th, was a memorable one here. There were two grand affairs. At the beginning of the evening, we went to Dr. Gertrude Curtis' apartment in Montmartre. Whata feed! Cabbage and spare ribs, cooked in the good "down home" manner, with many bottles of beer to wash it down, and some other liquids to finish it off. Cora Gary, Marie Peek Johnson, Yolande DuBois Cullen, Bessie Miller and daughter Olivette, Caska Bond, Countee Cullen and Mrs. Fleming were those who enjoyed all of this.
Now for the event that was the high spot of the week. The occasion was Louis Coles' birthday. He gave his party in Cecil Robson's apartment in the Trocedero. It is a magnificent apartment with a lounge done in the modern manner, lovely mauve colored walls. (One of these days when my rich uncle dies—if I have one—or when by fair means or foul, my bank account reaches at least five figures, I am going to have this room copied.)... Back to Louis' party, for it goes down on my list of great ones. Considering where we are, there were bowls of delicious Martini punch, many bottles of loquors,

Geneva Washington sang and moaned "Tomorrow," making us pray tomorrow would never come, if she would just keep on singing. Elizabeth Welch sang, and her voice is divine. Our host did not allow his guests to do it all. He sang and danced, and how! Last, but not the least, and maybe more important of all, were Jack Maze and George McLean, who accompanied all of these artists, and played some good stomps. We missed only one person—our Gerry and her lovely personality. Even Paris needs Gerry to make things complete. Some others at this delightful party were: Dagmar Godowsky, Yolande DuBois Cullen, Cordelia Patterson, Margery Hubbard, Carl Van Vechten, Countee Cullen, Lydia Zurke, Talmadge Wilson, Blanche Howell, Caska Bond, Mr. Berry, father of the Berry Brothers, Henrietta Dunn, Joseph Attles, Guy Robeson, and some others, including two counts and

But we started him out at once to see Paris. And what he doesn't know about it could be written on a postage stamp.
Zaidee Jackson put the finishing touch to the week, Saturday afternoon, July 6th, with a cocktail party at her apartment in the very swank Champs-Elysee section. What a variety of cocktails there were including the recently concocted clam juice. After sipping a number of these, there was a great deal of delightful conversation. Since Zaidee Jackson is the toast of some of Paris' wealthiest titles, artists, writers and dilettantes, her guests consisted og a brilliant group of people. Those of our group were Florence Delcach Richardson, Eric Walrond, Yolande DuBois Cullen, Bessie Miller and daughter Olivette, Caska Bond and Dr. Gertrude Curtis.
Then on to the Martiniquan Bal to complete this week of fun. Here some of our group can do a mean bit of "ringing and twisting," along with the Martiniquans doing their delightful dance—the beguine.

Adelaide Hall in Paris
ADELAIDE HALL, star of Lew Leslie's Blackbirds which is playing Moulin Rouge, Paris, and will remain until the first of September, is still the idol of Paris. Her triumph was instantaneous, and her popularity has continued to increase. After each performance, the stage entrance is packed and jammed with men, women and children, waiting to get a glimpse of Adelaide, the talk of Paris. It is reported that the Berry Brothers are her only rivals in the show.
"Match," a daily paper of the sporting variety, recently carried a smart pose of Miss Hall in the bathing costume which won second prize for her at the annual fete at Tourelles on June 24th, where all the stars and actresses of the Paris music halls and theatres vied for first honors. Adelaide represented Moulin Rouge. At first, there did not seem to be very much chance for Adelaide as one watched the procession of beautiful Parisian stars, but when almost at the end of the line she stepped up in a red, white and blue bathing suit—two pieces, trunks and brassiere effect, her form and personality took the French by storm. They shouted and applauded like mad and actually forgot such celebrities as Mlle. Guilbert, Odette Oyga, Mlle. Zelty, Jacqueline Franceil and Mlle. Dianah, the most popular French actress today. Had it been left to the audience, Adelaide would have received first prize for the most beautiful costume and popularity, but the judges awarded the first prize to Mlle. Dianah and the second, for form and originality to Adelaide. One daily paper came out with the statement that such personality and vivacity as displayed by Mlle. Adelaide Hall had never before been witnessed.

Walter Winchell Gets "On Harlem"
ALTER WINCHELL, who has been "On Broadway" for a long time, got off of Broadway one day last week, to get on Harlem. Now, this Walter Winchell, we understand, is a regular feller
was making a play to the mob or he might have thought it was news. But whatever it was, Walter owes us an explanation. I read, re-read and read again and again Mr. Winchell's article and still I'm puzzled, so I'm going to pass part of it on to my readers, the part that has me buffaloed, to wit:
"The beauty became the pet of the better class and her parties were the talk of the town, for she spent great sums on favors, which invariably were diamond bracelets for the ladies and jeweled things for the male guests. After every thrill had been experienced, the woman went in for narcotics until she lost her charm, manner, money and self-respect.
"To-day she is the heart of a Colored taxi driver."
Now, if that ain't gettin' on Harlem, I'm a fish's uncle and I don't mean maybe. Walter claims it is a true story which I take it to mean that he culled it from a magazine sporting such a name. But Walter should not believe everything that he reads. He's a big boy now and should not be so gullable. After hearing all the nice things about Walter, I was somewhat surprised when he got on Harlem. But then, like one of my correspondents said of me some time back, Walter had to have something to write about. Then again, perhaps Walter is also tired of picking up his morning paper only to read in glaring headlines, of another "Broadway Blonde Makin' Whoopee with a Harlem Huck." But that's not "News" any more Walter, according to the late Horace Greely.
I'll admit that I got a kick out of Mr. Winchell's article and that he started me to thinking. Read this:
The recent story in the rags about the heiress who married a Negro failed to startle the frequenters of the Harlem cafes, where gorgeous looking white girls unashamedly neck with dapper sepias. What amazes the comer to these black and tan rendezvous is that the women who Go In For Such Things are not the types you expect to find; the coarse and tough sort.
The women who enjoy the companionship of a colored man appear to be the class sort, the lorgnette-juggling "ladies," who make you self-conscious about your inferiority with their broad A's, and who attire themselves in the most costly finery."
Well, whose business is it, anyway, Mr. Winchell if these "gorgeous looking white girls unashamedly neck with dapper sepias"? Why should they be ashamed? And to the majority of Sepla Shelks, "the coarse and tough types" do not appeal. I hold and I believe that the Constitution supports my claim, that every citizen has the inalienable rights to life and to the pursuits of happiness as long as the Constitutional rights of another or the law is not violated. So, if these ladies of topaz see fit to make Whoopee with beau brummels of ebony hue, whose business is it? What has color to do with love anyway? Is character based on the pigments of the skin?
And how about the Ofay Papas who seek the company of Ebony Mamas, Mr. Winchell? Why not write of this as well as the Sepia Papas and the Gorgeous White Girls? But that's never worried many white men's conscience. Black women have always been legitimate sex prey. Up to thirty years ago, they were victims of impending violence if they did not give of their bodies. Today, many of them have to give in order to earn a decent living.

Our religion has always been that the other feller's all right until he's done something wrong.

ABOUT MUSICIANS Aubrey Brooks
AT this writing, we have so many things about which we may write, that we do not know just where to begin. Let's see now—we have it—we'll start with this thought: If you have a steady job and wish to hold it, be discreet. One fellow lost his engagement because he was seen entering an "L" train with a white girl. Shades of Georgia! That's off our mind. What's next? Oh, here is a good one. A certain orchestra leader from New Jersey who became peeved over one of our articles, went to the union and attempted to have us refrained from writing real honest to goodness facts. The truth hurts, they say. This is our "ocean" but we must put it in. "Sonny" Johns and a few other inquisitive friends of ours wish to know, why we didn't hire a hall instead of a taxicab to hold the recent bout for the "female hair pulling championship" that took place recently on one of Harlem's main thoroughfares. We assure the gentlemen that it wasn't our fight. We were merely trying to make peace. We came near being made into pieces but thanks to Mr. George Barbour and to Mr. Clarence Conaway, we were spared. That is that and we hope the gang is satisfied.

Here is a good one. A certain cornet player who went to Atlantic City on the Monarch excursion had so much "whoopee" in him, that he fell asleep in one car and left his cornet in another. He didn't miss his instrument until the next day. Thanks to Brothers Mickens and Adams, the cornet was found and returned O. K. That Atlantic City excursion was "too sad"—The Monarch Band drum section found an alley that "wouldn't quit." It is funny that the only way the alley could be located was by a cabaret called "Harlem."

Manhattan No. 45 of Elks band has a nifty leader in the person of a Mr. Hartly from Charleston, S. C. He seems to know his business. We would suggest, however, that he advise his drum section to quit clowning and learn to read. It is quite essential in a military band. The band is to be congratulated on its leader and also for having a fine picolo player such as Mr. Jones.

Ascension Commandery
On Tuesday evening, August 6th a monster benefit will be given at the Lafayette Theatre by Ascension Commandery No. 6, Knights Templar of which Samuel Jesse Battles is Eminent Commander. A slight history of this charitable institution will interest our readers:
Ascension Commandery was instituted June 19th, 1922, and has since then been under the command of the following Eminent Commanders: Sir Alfred R. Smith, Sir George E. Marshall, Sir Charles L. Thorpe (deceased), Sir Samuel J. Battles, present Commander.
Under Sir Alfred R. Smith the Commandery proceeded to exemplify the principles of Knighthood by dispensing charity in the form of Thanksgiving Dinners to the poor children of Harlem regardless of color. These dinners were costly and the funds with which to carry on were secured by contributions from the members of the Commandery of $5.00 per member. At no time were the members allowed to canvass the public or even friends for financial assistance and at these dinners the Commandery has fed from 500 children in 1924 to 800 children in 1928. The immediate work of purchasing food, cooking and serving the same was always under the personal supervision of the late Charles L. Thorpe, who at all times had the assistance of those members of the Commandery whose time would permit them to serve.
A committee of fifteen Sir Knights of the Commandery was appointed by the Eminent Commander, with Sir Knight
William E. Elkins as chairman to handle the midnight performance and that committee is making an earnest effort to put over a performance in keeping with the principles of Knighthood.
A Card of Thanks
The Husband and Family of the late lamented Mrs. Vivienne G. Bain, of 47 West 119th St., who departed this life, Saturday, July 20th, 1929, wish to express profound thanks to her many relatives, friends and members of the Theatrical profession for their many expressions of sympathy, condolence, for the many floral tributes, which were received at the funeral. For the splendid manner in which the funeral arrangements were conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Albert T. Saunders, whose thoughtful consideration did much to relieve our heavy burden.
To Rev. John R. Johnson, Jr., who preached the beautiful eulogy over her remains. We are especially greatful to the following firms and individuals: Her Brother, Robert C. Brooks, Jr.; Elida Webb and the entire Cotton Club Revue; the Cotton Club Management; former members of Show Boat Chorus, Tattler, Amsterdam News, New York News, New York Age, to these and others we respectfully dedicate this card of thanks.

Watt Terry of Harlem is- rated as
richer than either Anthony Overton or
Jesse Binga of Chicago.
Although Chicago boasts of finer
lawns than Harlem, the interiors of the
apartments and homes are superior in
- the latter village.
Weeks, sometimes pass before sepia
couples are guests at either the Cotton

A’Lelia Walker is allowed to take

The manager of ove of Lurlem's
most popular theatres was married to
a sepia femme for years. She is now
deceased and he has moved from the
Grand Concourse to a colored apart-

eral years ago, had house guests from
Detroit. The couples got plenty that

wives for two or three weeks. Both
couples are now divorced, but not for

Washington school teachers are re-

falo and Chicago, apparently justifying
the statement accredited to Horace
Greeley.
A Southside physician some several
years ago, upon getting welded, sent
his wife to the country on their honey-
moon, but “himself remained at his

happily together because when the
honeymoon was ended, he sent her on

And can you believe it—as warm as it was, and as much as I suffer from the heat, it was comfortable. Eddie has a cooling system in his Paradise that is all to the berries. Therefore I stayed through both shows. No foolin'.
* * *
Tuesday: Into the Saratoga Club for quite a few hot minutes. Believe me, although it was hot like—oh, who cares how hot it was. The correct three dollars provided me with enough cooling liquids that were consumed between hops, that the heat was easily forgotten. No joke, now, why not meet me down there next Tuesday. My slave chain can't go anyplace on Tuesdays, and I need the company of some other fellow's girl. Be good to me, buddies.

From the Saratoga Club, I had to proceed to Tabb's for my tummy (since I've reduced, I now have a tummy), was calling for eats, and eat I did. Really, each time I go to Tabb's, I forget that I am trying to collar a boyish figure. But who cares about that.
* * *
Wednesday: .Lordy! Did you expect that I was going anyplace on a night like that. Like ...! So I hied me down to the Lotus Tea Room, had a sumptuous repast—(using ritzy language)—took the slave chain for a bus ride, and then tried to go to sleep—I mean on the bus. But her line of chatter would wake a snake during his period of somnambulism. Never mind where I got that word. "Tis none of your business.
* * *
Thursday: The Lenox Club found me carrying on at a rapid pace way into the late yawning. What syncopation! Mercy me! Next time I go up there, I am going to carry an extra shirt with me, for one shirt gets wet—not from the weather, but from the heat of the syncopation—body rhythm of the females, and instrumental rhythm of that too bad orchestra.

Friday: During the early evening around eight-I was hungry, no end, so I dropped in to the Kentucky Dining Room, had my correct chicken dinner. and retired for the evening.
* * *
Saturday: Lordy me, again! These Saturday night meanderings just about burn me up and knock me cold. My slave chain first decided that she wanted to go to see a dead man who committed suicide by drinking lysol. And to be agreeable, I went. Ain't that a heck of a thing to have to do! Then a bus ride to Coney Island, but she doesn't like the amusements, darn her. So, a return ride, dropping her off at her door, then I went home and well, that's none of your business.
* * *
Sunday: I had promised the "Her" that I would positively meet her and go to places and do things. Why did I ever promise, was my anthem for Sunday morning. The thermometer continued to rise, and when it reached 90, I was about ready to commit suicide, for I felt that anything would have been better than being dressed up for a dizzy dame. But I had a srprise in store for me. When she rang my door bell, she said, "Hurry, I have a cab waiting for you. I've decided that I'm going to take you out, today." Well, I wasn't so sure that I was awake or dreaming, but in some manner I managed to get into my best suit (I mean the only one), and hopped into the cab.
* * *
She paid the taxi fare! Then she led me up two flights of stairs into a swell, cool apartment, where the sole occupant was a gentleman. I was sorta nervous for a while. But boys, did I lose that nervousness after a while! Yes indeed! Why that girl did a wondearful thing for me. From one until three I spent in partaking of the most delightful beverages—Champagne, Sauterne, Absinthe, Scotch Highballs, Whiskey Sours—and some more and more and more.
***
After having such a delightful time, and being sky high, I was in a mood to go wherever the "Her" wanted to go, and as usual, we went to Smalls' Paradise for the Senior Club's Matinee. We sipped quite a bit of white rock to straighten ourselves out. Yes! She was also tight-like-that for she can really consume gobs of the spirit beverages. I asked her to excuse me for a while, for I had some place to go. And when I came back, I found that she had cornered my boy Willis and was getting away, too. My boy seemed to give her a break on yesterday, for

he was benignly smiling down upon this lovesick dame. Perhaps he was putting on a marvelous jive, but it worked. And then I proceeded to have a good time, for my boy went back to his business and the "Her" was congenial for once. We danced a-plenty, and had a stomp down good time, for with Eddie's cooling system, plenty of cracked ice, white rock and gingerale, I quite forgot the heat. And gracious me! What a gang of good-looking girls are here of a Sunday after-
noon. Come on down next week. I'll be there.

During the time I asked the "Her" to excuse me, I made a flying trip over to the Idyl Wyle Matinee to see how things were progressing. Well, I hopped and jived and took numerous addresses, for belive me, there were some hot broads there to meet. That's another place on my engagement calendar for next Sunday. GENE MATTHEWS.
The Eternal "Color Line"
THE current Schmelling-Sharkey controversy brings to light a peculiar and most unfair angle to the contract entered into by Arthur Bulow, the burly German's representative, and Humbert Fugazy, well known Italian promoter. Colored fight devotees are well aware of Fugazy's absolutely unpartial attitude towards our boxers in general When Tex Rickard screwed the clamps down on Colored Heavyweights in general, Fugazy always offered a ray of hope to them in the event that he could sign a suitable white fighter to a contract to box. Harry Willis fought Paulino at the spacious Ebbetts Field ball yard under the Fugazy banner, while George Godfrey showed against Risko, Monte Munn, and other be-
hemoths of fistiana, drawing his salary check from the rotund Humbert In the Schmelling contract that we publish for your perusal, we are inclined to the opinion that Herr Bulow, one of the score or more recognized managers of the apparently thick skulled and slow thinking Dutchmen, is directly responsible for the shady postscript Fugazy was forced
A
The "Bugbear" of modern heavyweights and the closest approach to the mythical "Uncrowned Champion" moniker the game has known since Harry Wills's passing-What a gentle playmate is GEORGE GODFREY!
to insert in a letter bearing upon a previously signed and executed contract The letter we herewith print, verbatim:
Mr. Arthur Bulow.
Dear Sir:
Following our agreement of this date, in which you authorize us to make a match for Max Schmeling, of whom you are the legal and recognized manager, for 26 per cent of the gross receipts, less the State tax and compensation for the ring officials, we guarantee also that the said 26 per cent will equal at least $100,000.
In case the said 26 per cent does not amount to $100,000, we further
ALVIN J. MOSES
agree that we will make up the difference up to that amount. "Very truly yours, HUMBERT J. FUGAZY and JACK DEMPSEY. "P. S.—It is understood that the above agreement excludes colored men.
HUMBERT J. FUGAZY."
What a lot of spineless bozos are these dauntless Nordics and Semetics who come from all points of the globe in quest of the "World's Heavyweight Title,"—without the formality of engaging "Colored Men" in combat! To be true this campaign of drawing the convenient "Color Line," dates far beyond the era of John L. Sullivan, but is that any reason why in this fabled land of liberty and freedom of speech for all nationalities and creeds, it shoud exist eternally?
Commissions at Fault
MAYOR James Walker, present incumbent of New York's civic destinies on a Democratic ticket, promised a great many things during the ballyhoo that ushered in his "Walker Bill" legalizing boxing contests in the Empire State. Whether it's real or just affected, Jimmy Walker appears to be as ardent a fight fan as citizen John Law. He crashes as many fight attractions as the Police Commissioner revels in officiating at functions of State—if we may term them as such. His stalwart lieutenants in whom all power is vested, namely Mons. Farley, Brower, and Muldoon appear about as interested in the plaint of the colored fighting brigade, as they are in the present Chinese-Bolshevik imbroglio. Any committee of representative citizens of color calling on the "noble Dukes" with grievances would be met with this type of a reception in rebuttal to their complaints:
"Why, didn't Tiger Flowers win a fortune in this State fighting white men, and wasn't he crowned World's Middleweight champion?
What about the stand we took in the case of Al Brown? Doesn't he receive fair play and recognition?
Where could Kid Chocolate command the purses he receives elsewhere in this country,—and isn't he as great an idol as Jack Dempsey this very minute?
Were we a member of such a delegation, the answer would be "Yes Gentlemen,"—but why discuss matters without the issue at hand. We are not as some would describe us mendicants and charity seekers as a whole. We understand as well as the rest of the foreigners do, just what so-called "American Fairplay" should represent. One can't dictate to any fighter regardless of the color of his 'skin'—just who he climbed into the ring with to wit: Kid Chocolate's manager's aversion to a meeting with Al Brown, a boxer of the same complexion, but in molite fistic circles the reason given for this sidestep on the part of the classy Cuban's mentor was lack of box office drawing power, preferring a meeting with Routis or Singer for his charge—and he's perfectly right in his stand.

Heavies the Target
IT does seem sometimes that the alleged "Unpardonable" sins of 'Lil' John Artha Johnson, former boss of the Heavyweight brigade, will rise its serpentine head eternally to bar the way to our great crop of two-ton boys. A recent case was that of Harry Wills, and a present and quite disturbing of rank injustice and isolation, is that of George Godfrey—gargantuan 240 pounder who is the "best" living
This handsome sheikish type BABY JOE GANS. Through issues a defi to Jackie Fields was crowned World's Welter Cox's management Gans has e Pacific Coast
heavyweight bar non. Our friend Bill Corum, brilliant columnist of the Evening Journal, made the following comment on "Gawge" in reply to a sob letter sent out by Jimmy Doughtery to every white and colored writer of note in the country:
"The Sunsung Soldier:
"Baron James Dougherty, of Leapingville, Pa., is writing open letters again about Gawge Godfrey, the unsung soldier of fistiana. This time the Baron singles out Bernard Gimbel, a member of the Muldoon-Tunney Trophy Committee, as the address of his public billetdoux. The funny part of that is that Mr. Gimbel always has given Gawge a high rating. Less than two weeks ago we chanced to talk with him about the vacant championship and he specifically mentioned Godfrey as a high rating contender.
"What would do Godfrey more good than anything lese would be to knock out Risko, Sharkey, Paulino, or some other of those "big shots" when he gets them in there. As nearly as we can recall he staggered around and lost to all three when he had the chance to gain the recognition he craves with one smashing win.
We have repeatedly called for fair play for Godfrey, but one right to the chin will carry him farther than all of Dougherty's citations of the Bill of Rights. An American is entitled to every chance in America, but a fighter can't logically claim the heavyweight champion-
of boxer is none other than his manager, Tom Cox, "Baby" whom he has fought twice and Champion last week. Under earned $18,000 since leaving the
ship of the world for fighting in the American army." The usually biased Robert Edgreen, writing for a Pacific Coast News Syndicate, said some very flowery things about "Our George" last week, as did Ed Bang, one of the best known writers in the land just get a load of the flowers these prolific wielders of the willow pen toss about for 'George's' express benefit and fairplay in general:
George could whip them, he says, but they won't let him. Explaining this statement, Mr. Edgren says:
"When any fighter of some reputation does fight Godfrey the promoter must tie Godfrey hand and foot before the articles are signed. Godfrey must not land a knockout. He is allowed a certain amount of punching, but he must 'coast' if the opponent shows signs of wear.
"Godfrey is a 240-pound Black
Hercules with nothing much besides ability to absorb all the punches there are, and a very wicked lefthand punch, either for body or paw—but that's enough. He has battered up several men without actually knocking them out, and is regarded as a 'wrecker' among the boxing racketeers. It's a certainty Schmeling wouldn't be sent in with Godfrey unless the big black fellow entered the ring wearing handcuffs and leg-irons." GEORGE IS REAL ARTICLE
It happened that Ed Bang, of the Cleveland (O.) News, saw Godfrey punish Chuck Wiggins some weeks back, in a Cleveland ring. So impressed was Mr. Bang with the Leiperville mauler's showing that he wrote:
"Don't let anybody tell you Godfrey isn't the real article. He is everything his manager, Baron Jimmy Daugherty of Leiperville, Pa., has said of him, and more. As we chirped before, he is the strongest man we have ever seen pull on a glove and despite his great heft, he dances around, in and out like a lightie. In the clinches he is sure enough poison.
"Despite the fact Wiggins was always aces up at infighting, Chuck more than met his master in Godfrey. Although Wiggins essayed to hold Godfrey's hands, somehow or other this Tarzan had strength enough to plow right through Wiggins' hold for devastating punches to the midriff. It was these solid body punches that sapped Wiggins' strength.
"We can't recall ever seeing a man take a worse beating about the body. Godfrey's manager said he told George to hold back until the sixth and then sent him out to show the fans what he really had. And he has everything, so much so in fact we question if Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Jack Sharkey or any other heavyweight at his best would be a real match for this colored fighting man."
Gans Cleaned Up
Contrary to reports going the rounds that Baby Joe Gans is dissatisfied with the manner that Tom Cox has handled his ring affairs, he desires to state through these columns that he is well satisfied.
"Tom" has been more than a mere manager to me Al.—he has at once been a pal and a father. He has measured wits with the best matchmakers and managers in the country and especially has this been true of our Eastern invasion. From Jess McMahon—who incidentally is one of the finest gentlemen I have ever met in my life, right down the line, Tom is respected and feared for his bargaining proclivities. We've cleaned up slightly more than $18,000 together, and reports that I am dissatisfied are unfair to him in the extreme."

familiar reminders of the old hostelry are the site and the name. The outside carries the air of Park Avenue, New York. Beautiful awnings and canopy extended from the entrance to the curb. (On each side of the door stand handsome plants in large white jardinieres.
Inside of the hotel, a large number of parlor rooms have been added. They are large and airy. Those rooms have every convenience. Hot and cold running water, floor lamps and table lamps give the rooms a home-like touch. The other rooms, twenty in all, also have hot and cold running water.
To insure an even temperature, an oil plant has been installed. Two new bathrooms have been added. The many changes evident to the most casual observer have been made under the personal direction of Mr. Furman. Mr. Furman brings to the New Attucks Hotel an enviable reputation in the hotel field of the west.
For several years Mr. Furman managed a chain of hotels in Chicago. The Keystone Hotel was the outstanding one of the seven. His successful career extending over thirty years includes varied experiences as dishwasher, cook, chef, waiter, steward and headwaiter. His progressiveness has also been shown in N. A. A. C.

THIS week finds the Elm City very much alive. Still more dances, parties and those delightful out-door picnics. On Monday evening, July 22nd, at Odd Fellows' Hall, Billy Gardner presented Larry Ringold and his famous Pickanny Orchestra, direct from Gardner's Restaurant and Broadcasting Station W. I. C. C. These boys played the latest hits from "Lil Ole New York," reminding on egreatly of the Bamboo Inn or the Savoy. This aggregation of musicians is said to be among the best in the country, which surely was proven on this occasion.

On Monday evening, July 22, a Doll Party was given by West Rock Juveniles, 212, at the Elks' Home. Much credit is due Dgt. Cora Warfield who was the chairman. A wonderful array of dolls of all groups made it hard for the judges. Prizes were awarded to Frederick Mendez for the smallest doll; Belle Warfield for twin dolls; Mary J. Moore for the largest; Jennie Williams for the oldest—60 years; Hilda Simms, the best dressed. There were also prizes for the largest number of tickets—Marion Williams, first; Loraine Richmond, second. The judges were Brother Pichetts and Minor.

Vernon, N. Y., Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church of Brooklyn and the P. C. Social Club of Brooklyn, on an outing to Savin Rock. Bathing was the most popular of amusements.
\* \* \*
The visitors at Savin Rock on Thursday were all excited over the short visit of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wills and Mrs. E. S. Smalls, wife of Ed Smalls, proprietor of the Smalls' Paradise of New York. The distinguished guests motored up and spent the day.

We played games and danced until twelve, at which time we were served delicious salad, ive vream, cake and punch. There was a big birthday cake, covered with white icing and pink candles. Also, nuts and candy. We had loads of fun.

The Cheshire Country Club naturally is a beautiful place, but on last Friday evening this place was still more beautiful when the members of the J. F. F. Club were hostesses to their friends and well wishers at their dance. Maids and matrons blossomed forth in a most dazzling array of beautiful gowns. Favors were distributed after an intermission. The out-of-town guests were Mrs. Nolan Knight, Mrs. Jackson of Palm Beach; Miss Goldie Elliot of Kansas City; Mr. and Mrs. George Hill of Mt. Clair, N. J.; Mrs. L. Turner of Kansas City and Mrs. Dilworth of Philadelphia. The Original Night Hawks provided the syncopation responding to every encore. A most enjoyable time was had by all who attended the dinner dance given by the Board of Governors of the Cheshire Country Club for the members and their guests. Though the weather was hot, there was no end to the cars that brought folks from far and near. Together with the joy of youth, the strains of the Rialto Orchestra, and the delicious food, Saturday night was a night fit for the kings at the club house.

GEE folks, as fascinating as this beach is it's just too bad everybody can't come down. Here I am sitting on the beach—too lazy to be discribed in English—marveling at two of the beauties of nature—the beach and ocean.
---
The sand is a golden sheet sparkling in the sun and that expansive view of water rolling, dashing, darting swirling in large billows, breakers and waves which make a silver mountain with the sun.
The waves come to shore and go back to repeat themselves throughout the ages. It's peaceful at times and angry at times, its only enemy is the winds reminding one of human life, playing at times, fighting at others. It's a thing of beauty to watch. My! My! I came down rather early and began soliloquizing but now there are innumerable people on the beach and my attention, duty bound, must go toward the formality of life, meeting people, telling them how well they look, how glad you are to see them, etc., regardless of what you're thinking. It happens this week I'm writing what I think for a change.

Interesting News Notes From Santa Barbara Beautiful
DURING the temporary absence of our regular correspondent, Mrs. Laura Gaddis, the Pacific Coast Press Representative, is "pinch hitting" for her this week and we are telling you, of the Outside World, that:
Mrs. Mary Moore, Cateress, served a large party Saturday evening, July 20th, at her home on Gutierrez Street, to raise funds for expenses for Delegates to the Federation of Women's Clubs Convening at Fresno, Cali., the week of July 22nd. A gratifyingly large attendance is reported and the financial returns warranted them in sending Mrs. Gaddis, our president, and other delagates to represent Santa Barbara in this Uplift Work for Our Group.
* * *
Harmony Lodge. No. 481, with its Ladies' Auxiliary, Los Olivas Temple 517, have purchased Philharmonic Hall. Ortega and Garden Street. The price paid was $12.500. For a combined membership of less than one hundred and an organized existence of a little more than five years, this is decidedly the shrewdest business undertaking
our Fraternal organizations have attempted in this locality.
Philharmonic was built in 1927 for Mr. W. J. Hart, formerly of Duluth, Minn., as an investment proposition and at the time, he opened and operated it as lodgerooms and convention hall for our group. The appointments and furnishings would do credit to a city of larger colored population than our City Beautiful and it is gratifying to know that through Mr. James Williams, contractor, this beautiful building is saved to our people.

Dr. Mary Harris Armor, known as the "Georgia Cyclone," lectured on prohibition at First Baptist Church, Wednesday evening under the auspices of the local branch W. C. T. U. Among our group attending were Mrs. C. Dugger, Mrs. H. Alexander, Mrs. Reba Hurd and Mrs. Edith Casonhua.

Mrs. Duncan was one of our pioneer residents, and was a former resident of Gosport, Ala. She leaves to mourn, her father, Mr. John Anderson, and brother, John. Henry. Charles and Andrew Anderson of Gosport, Ala.

NOW you can test FREE the remarkable new French Discovery which brings a marvelous whiteness and brilliancy to dark skins. And unless it makes your skin gloriously light and lovely in the twinkling of an eye, it will not cost you one penny!
You just spread this new French Creme on face, neck and hands. In ten seconds your skin is ten shades lighter. Not a bleach, not a liquid powder, but an entirely new and different French type creme developed by a young French chemist. Banishes gloss and shine for 12 hours—holds face powder all day long—conceals freckles and skin blemishes. Wonderful for evening wear. Whitens red, rough hands. Men find it invaluable for after shaving—gives that refined, creamy-ivory tone.
This new discovery is called Fan Tan Whitening Crome. Test it at our risk. Just mail the coupon. When Fan Tan

bunch, and that's just what I mean, Saturday night at her beautiful little bungalow, 114 E. Gulterres St., in an anniversary party for her sister, Mrs. Fannie Majors. We regret Oh so much to say that what with the elegant silver service and cut glass recepticles for the stuff that goes in them, we didn't have the heart, time nor inclination to count the candles. Suffice it to say, Mrs. Majors was the recipient of many pretty and useful gifts, and most appropriate. I suppose, that elastic tape or ribbon. Quite beyond me. OUR MARY, the cateress, served a spread as only she can.

The Ladies Auxiliary of The Elks gave a Card Party that same Saturday night. They must have been exchanging courtesies; in other words, now I see you, now I don't, but when I do see you, you look different (why) or you are in a different place. Withal with your scribe trying to be in several places at one and the same time, truly it was a hectic time for a Small Towner. Don't carry me so fast, my children. Being almost cookoo, everything was all to the chili with muh.
Fan Tan Solves "Milady's" Wants
Never before in the history of this publication has there been so many requests for the products sold by the Fan Tan Laboratories, that may be secured in practically every drug store and department store. Unlike a great many products that are advertised extensively, the makers of "Fan Tan" products live up to every word their advertisement carries. When they state that a ten-minute usage of Creme "Pour Le Maquillage" will bleach and refine the darkest skin, just such a performance is absolutely guaranteed. Then, too—you enter into no risks whatsoever—if you aren't thoroughly delighted your money will be gladly refunded at once. For discriminating ladies, Sun Tan shade of powder is extremely popular. Women with an olive skin find the shade very becoming as well as the Ochre shade which is a trifle lighter. One prominent social leader in a letter to the Editor, expressed herself thusly: "Fan Tan Makeup Creme fills a longing for the perfect toilette that every woman in the country ought to avail herself of." Fan Tan is recommended for face, neck, arms, hands and legs.

(Student gives Lonesome Heart

“I have been reading the Tat-
tler over three years, for the last
year mostly for the contributors
to the Lonesome- Hearts Column.
And now I am coming to you for
help and to tell some of the con-
tributors something.

ambitious ideals, please send me
her address or send mine to her,
dear Jackie.
Now for the fireworks: Tell me,
Jackie, why ig it that 99.88% of
the contributors to the L. H. C.
do just the opposite to what they
preach from the housetops—i. e.
discriminate on account of color?
They seem to think a light brown
or very fair complexion comes
with the prerequisites of a gen-
tleman or lady. I know it is every-
one’s personal right to make his
own choice, but everyone of them
have dark skinned relatives; any-
way, anybody who hates and dis-
owns his relatives and ancestors
is an eating cancer to civilization,
their race and‘society. In other
words, he hates the chemicals that
he is a model of, and if possible
would tear them out. How in
plazes do they expect equality
from other races when they don't
even practice it among them-
selves? It’s a joke! We will never
get any further than janitors and
messengers until we recognize our
race cn a sound basis. Now put
that in the thing that your hat
sits upon.”

“Dear Jackie—Time and time
again have I read your Lonesome

many that has been benefitted by
that medium. In it, every Jone-
some heart can find a sentiment
of hope, faith, trust and love, of

maculate nurse to smooth the pil-

(I_note with a good deal of ap-
preciation the following letter
from a foreign girl. Several times
I tried to get In touch with them,
but they seemed afraid of the L.
H. page.)
“I am very lonesome. Wonder
ig there’s anyone that would like
to write to me. I desire. the com-
panionship of a refined young max
about 26, 5 ft. 6 in.. light colored,
nice looking: and also nice hair.
He must have a profession and of
good position—one who means to
marry. If possible, he must have
a car. : .
I like lots of out-door sports.
Am not a good time girl. Like
nice shows sometimes, love music.
Am refined and would like some-
one who means to do just what is
right. Am willing to do my best
by him. Am of foreign descent,
having been in this country some-
time. Haven't found the right one
yet. Am a light colored girl, not
considered pretty, but nice look-
ing; also nice hair; age 23; 5 ft. 4
in., weigh 145, good education, play
piano, but not an expert, Jackie:
dear. :
I hope you will try and help me
find a right companion. I would
be more than thankful to you. If
hope I am not too fussy in choos-
ing a correspondent.”

Tammany Hall Again Endorses Ferdinand Q. Morton's Leadership
SOME 300 odd enthusiastic citizens of the city journeyed down to Tammany Hall last week to champion and advocate the leadership of the Honorable Ferdinand Q. Morton, one of the Wigwam's ablest lieutenant leaders and to pay their respects to the new leader of Tammany Hall, the Honorable John F. Curry. And they successfully accomplished their purpose. Following a number of pithy and pointed speeches, the new Wigwam Chieftain, the Hon. M. Curry, in a brief but forceful reply, told his visitors that he had already decided to carry on with Mr. Morton and that it was indeed gratifying to see so many of them there to congratulate him upon designating Mr. Morton as the representative of the "United Colored Democracy."
For once the three hundred or so citizens, representing practically every walk in life, were on time to the very minute. The hour had been set at 1.30 P. M. sharp and fully ten minutes before that hour the spacious auditorium of the Wigwam was packed almost to capacity. Every seat was taken and scores were standing around when Mr. Curry came in. Chauncey Hooper acted as Master-of-ceremonies and called upon the following persons present for five minute speeches: Dr. Louis T. Wright, Police Surgeon; Andrew M. Robinson, one of the oldest members of the United Colored Democracy; Walter F. White, secretary, N. A. A. C. P.; Roy Lancaster, Pullman Porter's representative; Mrs. Viola Carter, Social Worker; Charles E. Toney, one of Harlem's ablest lawyers and John T. Dotson.
Counselor Toney, in his address to the "Big Chief," told of the fair minded attitude of former Tammany Chieftains; of how the late Mr. Murphy refused to take an unfair advantage of the colored voters because they, at that time, happened to be Republicans. He concluded with the hope, or rather that he knew that the colored citizens had every reason to expect fair and honorable play from Mr. Curry, and that they would get it. Other addresses were much along the same lines and then Mr. Curry was called on. He said in part:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Since I assumed the leadership of Tammany Hall, I have evaded making speeches, but I cannot do otherwise but say a few words this afternoon. There are a number of faces here in the room I have seen in the past. On the left I happen to notice the leader of my district. He and I always got along all right and also his predecessors."
Among those present were: Major V. C. Tandy, Noah D. Thompson, J. I. Dotson, George L. Carter, H. C. Cutler, A. M. Robinson,

Diana Barrett Regains The Lead in Tattler's Convention Contest
Miss Elizabeth Elzy Drops To Third Place After A Hectic Week Of Excitement. The Misses Perdue, Watson, Roberts Of Atlantic City and Pinder of Brooklyn Keeping Well Up With The Leaders. Just Two Short Weeks, 14 Days Left For The Contestants To Work For The Five Big Cash Prizes.
LITTLE Miss Diana Barrett made good her boast of last week in part at least when she said she was determined to regain the lead before the First of August. Miss Barrett jumped into the lead last week after a very hard fight. She had plenty of opposition but was not the least bit dismayed. She left our office with grim determination and returned with enough votes to put her on top. But she had to step for the Misses Constance Perdue, Elizabeth Elzy, Margaret Roberts, Mildred Pinder and Ruth Holloway were also up and doing.
But the biggest surprise of the contest last week was the wonderful work of Miss Mabel Harris, who added 52000 votes to her count and jumped from 18th place to 10th place. Miss Harris entered the contest about two weeks ago. This is her third week and she's going to have a lot to say as to who will be awarded the first five prizes. She's got the backing of three very powerful organizations and is certain to be well up with the leaders before the contest ends Saturday night, August 17th. She's not saying much, but she's working hard. With the aid of the clubs and fraternal organizations, she is a factor to be recognized.
Over in Jersey City, little Marie Jackson is striving might and main to get in on the big cash prizes. She's making a great fight and if the citizens from the "Mosquito State" give her any assistance at all, Marie will be up there among the winners when the contest ends. Saturday night, August

17th. Miss Jackson is trying to put Jersey City on the map and all loyal Jersey citizens will cast their votes for the clever little dancing instructor. If they do that, oh boy, we'll have a Jersey Queen as well as a Tattler Queen and we don't mean maybe.
Miss Elzy, who has been leading the contest for the past two weeks, dropped to third place in the hard fight or last week. But it was not for lack of effort on her part. She did manage to jump her total to 154,000, yet not only Miss Barrett. But Miss Perdue in addition also passed her. Constance Perdue is now holding second place by the small margin of 3,000 votes more than Miss Elzy's count. Then, within easy striking distance is Atlantic City's sturdy little champion, Margaret Roberts, with 116,000 votes and still getting them like nobody's business. Miss Mildred Pinder of Brooklyn with a grand total of 107,000 and Ruth Holloway with 97,000 are keeping well up with the leaders and are sure to be among the prize winners from all indications. Not far behind we find the Misses Cleo Sewell, backed by the King Bees; Harriet Morris, Marie Jackson Margaret Robinson and Leithia Walker; all excellent possibilities and anyone of whom can win first honors with the same sort of determination exhibited by Miss Barrett and the other leaders. It would not surprise me to see anyone of the contestants far down in the list, suddenly come up with the present leaders and win one of the first five prizes. But there will be so many prizes that every girl has a real good chance of getting something. There's going to be a number of surprises when we have the contest ball the latter part of next month. We expect to give away twenty or more prizes and every one of them will be worth the efforts required to win them. The girls who are far behind the leaders can win a prize that we are sure they will appreciate when they are awarded.
Get busy now girls and make the best of the two weeks left. You have fourteen days yet and a lot can be done in that time. Remember the Salvation Army battle cry: "A Man May Be Down, But He's Never Out." You girls may be way down in the contest, but you are not out and the contest is not over. You have time even now to win a prize. Yes, even the first prize if you make up your mind to win it. And here's how it can be done:
A half a dozen big subscriptions would bring any girl in the contest well up with the leaders, no matter how far down she may be at this time. Ten five-year subscriptions would mean 250,000 votes and so far, not one of the contestants have even 200,000 to her credit. So it can be easily seen that the contest is really anybody's at this stage of the race.
