The Topeka Plaindealer MRS. CLEMENT RICHARDSON ENTERTAINS IN HONOR OF MISS ETHEL ROBINSON JEFFERSON CITY, MO. July 13- On Monday evening July 12th, Maplehurst, the picturesque residence of President and Mrs. Clement Richardson, was the scene of a very pretty and delightful gathering of twenty-five ladies from Jefferson City and the John Institute faculty. Mrs. Richardson, the accomplished hostess, excelled herself in planning this unique social function. After greetings and snatches of conversation here and there, she requested her guests to pass into the dining room. Here the oval table became the center of attraction, for on this stood a large kewpie with arms filled with orange blossoms and head covered with white tulle, which fell in biflowy folds upon the immaculate table cover. Smaller kewpie, representing Cupids, adorned with wings of white tulle and with arms loaded with orange blossoms, encircled the table. At the feet of these representatives of the God of Love were tiny envelopes bearing the name of each guest. The envelopes contained beautifully painted cards with the following inscription: "Miss Ethel Robinson, Mr. Daniel W. Bowles, July 28th, 1920." These Cupids were given on the ladies as favors On a fortune telling game was introduced which assured the expectant maidens that other wedding bells would ring in the 19th future. The first slice of the "men Cake" was cut by Miss Cecile k.ig, who was the fortunate finder of the gold ring. After this a two course repast, which carried out the color scheme of green and white, was served: Creamed Chicken on toast, cucumbers on crisp lettuce leaves, pickles, crackers, ice tea, and green and white ice cream and angel food cake. The hostess then announced that prizes would be awarded to the maid and matron who excelled in needlecraft. Articles of table linen were distributed and the ladies vied with one another until the signal was given declaring the end of the contest. The judges, Mrs. I. C. Tull, who judged the work of the maldens, and Miss Helen G. Crampton, who judged the work of the matrons, rendered the decision in favor of Mrs. J. W. Damel, who received a beautifully embroidered tea towel, and Miss Irene Heron, who received a handsome pink silk camisole, the first piece for her "Hope Chest." During the contest Miss Leonora T Jackson, of the English Department, entertained with an original Love Story, composed from bits of verse on heart shaped cards, which were painted by Miss L. E Williams, of the Art Department. After this contest, cards were passed around and the ladies requested to write on one side their "Advice to the Bride" and on the other their "Favorite Recipe." These were collected and read amidst much merriment. The party dispersed in the "wee small hours", leaving with the prospective bride volumes of advice and recipes. All of the ladies join her in looking forward with delightful anticipation to the approaching wedding, which will be first to be solemnised at the Institute for about thirty-one years. Mrs Richardson wore a gown on navy blue georgette over-satin beaded, and embroidered. MRS. VICTOR H. COLLINS ENTER- TAINS FOR MISS ETHEL ROBINSON. Miss Ethel Robinson was the guest of honor at a miscellaneous Shower Saturday evening, July 17th at the residence of Mrs. Victor H. Collins on Dunklin Street. The house was beautifully decorated in yellow daisies and nasturtiums, placed in huge bowls and hanging baskets. Mrs Collins invited about a score of ladies to participate in this very delightful affair, and promptly at 8 o'clock the guests were assembled and eager for the "Shower" the prospective bride. The presents were wheeled into the parlor in a miniature chariot, beautifully decorated in yellow and white. The ladies gathered around Miss Robinson while she untied daisy bows, read the loving messages displayed the charming gifts, which ran the gamut from embroidered handkerchiefs, and neckwear to linen towels, cut glass, silver ware, lace hose, and a georgette waist. While the refreshments, orange ice and angel food cake were being served the guests were requested to entertain themselves with a "Progressive Story"—this they did with quite a display of originality. Mrs. Duke Diggs started the story, laying the scene in the Ozark mountains among the simple mountaineers, and after getting the hero and heroine in such circumstances as to leave the listeners in suspense, it was passed on to the next lady. After fifteen ladies had given their own particular twist to the story, it was found that the heroine was not a simple mountain girl, after all, but was connected with the blue blood of Kentucky, and after many thrilling adventures, which took them even to the battle fields of France, the Ibero and Heroline were finally united, and lived happily ever after. Those failing to add their chapter to the story were required to pay a forfeit. After a most enjoyable evening duri- which there was not a dull moment tha ladies departed for home, each pronouncing Mrs Collins, an ideal hostess. Mrs. Collins wore a white organde elaborately trimmed in pleated ruffles and lace. Miss Robinson was 'dainty in accordian-pleated pink crepe-de-chine. In the Land of Golden Opportunity.

The Popular Confectioner Goes to Chicago To Hotel Business. Mr. G. W. McCord, for the past two years proprietor of the People's Confectionery and Cafeteria, Topeka's most popular and up-to-date thirt parlor and cafe, will sell out and leave with his family for Chicago to enrage in the hotel business. He recently made a trip to that city and completed a deal for the taking over of a 23 room hotel located on 35th Street, three blocks from State St., Chicago's black Broadway, in the heart of the black belt. In an interview with a Plaindender representative, Mr. McCord said: representative, Mr. McCord said: "Yes, I have closed the deal and am closing up my business in this city preparatory to taking charge of the hotel the 15th of the month. I must say however, that I regret leaving Topeka, as we have made some warm friends here whose friendship I shall over cherish. However, I am a hotel man, I know the business. Topeka although a splendid town does not have a sufficiently large Colored population to maintain a hotel such as I have in mind, thus I go to Chicago with its 150,000 men and women. The people of Topeka have been very loyal in supporting this business and I certainly do appreciate that fact. Since coming here I have tried to maintain an up-to-date place and give the best service that money could afford. Whether I have done this, the public can best judge. At my fountain I have used the best equipment and the purest of materials used therein and in my cafeteria department nothing but the freshest and best food was served." In answer to the inquiry as to who was to purchase his local interests, he replied: "It is my desire to turn this splendid location and business into the hands of members of my race. This is an ideal location and I hold a three year lease on the entire two floors and basement. The community at large regrets that Mr. McCord and his splendid family are leaving. He is a thorough race man always interested in any movement pertaining to the advancement of the race. He is an able business man with a keen insight and judgment. His family consisting of three boys and two girls were very popular with the younger set. The oldest daughter graduated from the Topeka high school last June. She is a charming and attractive little Miss with a promising future. She has served her father as cashier. Mrs. McCord who has so ably assisted Mr. McCord feels as he does, in that she regrets to leave the large number of friends with whom she has associated since coming to the city. To Mr. McCord and family, we say "Good Bye, Good Luck and God Bless You." The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

The location is an idealone for this exhibition being located in the heart of a 2500 acre lanch, in the best agricultural district in the County, or State. The idea of having a Negro State Fair originated with J. Coody Johnson, who is the founder and President of the Fair. The object of the fair is to promote and encourage agriculture and live stock raising among the Negro citizens of our state. Too many people of our race are leaving the farm for the already overcrowded cities, and increasing the high cost of living; and in order to bring our people up to their true worth we, are offering premiums for live stock, agricultural and domestic arts Exhibits. The Negro has this assurance that he will have a chance to compete for prizes against members of his own race to be judged by judged by Judges of his own selection. Here is a chance to encourage your boy and girl to do something that will be a credit as well as profit to themselves. Just what you produce and exhibit will be shown at the fair. If you have a fine horse, cow, pig or other domestic animal bring them to the fair. The good housewife will have a chance to compete with other women of her own Nationality, in cooking, needle work, and all other arts in which women are interested. premiums will be given to the boys and girls Clubs for their exhibits.

This I appreciate very much. The organization has now been accomplished and it is up to the loyal citizens of the community to "carry on" this good work. "Every dollar invested by the stock holders has been properly expended in the business only and it is now ready to operate in a few days."

Poem Written and Presented Plain-dealer by Mise Maggie Ladele Riley, of Lawrence In the morning hour before the sunlight glare. When the song of a thousand birds is in the air, And the pure fresh dew has bathed the new born rose. And the wild flowers of the field wake from repose When all the charms of nature lend their beauty to the morn. And crown her queen that all the earth adore. At this illustrious hour of the dawning day, The soul gleals out in that upon the And a prayer is lifted for the heart's desire, The thing we need, we want and most desire. Oft when we sit alone in this Holy hour God's highest blessings falls in love God's richest blessings falls in love and power, And a greatch hope in the soul is born. Thru the Glories of the enchanting morn. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. Lucy Harris, Plaintiff No. 33357 VS.
