THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA APR27 1929 VA. UNDERTAKERS' ASSOCIATION MEETS Largely Attended Session Here Creates Interest. President J. M. Wilkerson Presides. Dr. Ransome Delivers Able Address. Beautiful Exhibits. VOLUME XLVI, NO. 24 VA. U Largely President J. Delivers (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) The undertakers, sometimes known as funeral directors, have been in session here this week. There has been no noticeable increase in the death rate as a result of their presence. The colored folks have been regarding them with awe, so to speak. The various establishments have been painted and magnificent displays made of both stock and equipment. President James M. Wilkerson, of Petersburg, Va., has been presiding over the Undertakers and Embalmers' Association of Virginia, in session at Elks' Home, 400 East Clay Street, with Secretary H. L. Minor, of the firm of Cunningham & Minor, keeping the minutes. Luncheon Served A luncheon was served at Price's Hall last Wednesday afternoon. Business was transacted during this time. John Mitchell, Jr., had been hastily summoned to be present and by the unanimous vote of the body invited to deliver an address. He was introduced by the president in glowing remarks. He responded. Then the members entered limousines and were carried all over the city. The body had been previously photographed by Photographer Geo. W. Brown. Called to Order It was nearly 9 o'clock Wednesday evening when President A. D. Price Jr., of the local branch and masson of ceremonies, called the meeting to order at the Sharon Baptist Church America was sung. Rev. R. H. Johnson, the popular pastor of Sharon Baptist Church, conducted the devotionals. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. J. Nickens. The rendition by Mrs. Ella Carter was a gem. She has rare elocutionary powers. Then the group of glee singers under the management of that remarkable leader, Joseph Matthews, rendered two selections. President Wilkerson Speaks President James M. Wilkerson delivered a short address, after which he proceeded to introduce Rev. W. L. Ransome, D. D. When Rev. Dr. Ransome arose, he appeared to have little or nothing to say to that body of live undertakers, but he proved to the contrary before he got through with his address. He was glad to be able to say that for all time he could say that he was the first one to deliver an address to the State body. A Question of Name He discussed the propriety of the name of the Association. Some called themselves morticians. He did not think that the name was appropriate. He assured the body that they would have more trouble with the living than with the dead. The word undertaker was ambiguous. It meant a person. The word funeral director could be applied to others than morticians or undertakers. Neither was this word applicable to the profession. Selected Mortician Finally, he said that of the three designations, he thought that mortician was most applicable. Rev. Dr. Ransome did not himself furnish the proper name, and he evidently left this job to the men before him. He then discussed cremation and of its increase in this country. He dealt with the Egyptian method of embalming, which held the contour of the body as it was in life during a period of 2,000 years. It had never been equaled in modern times. In cremation the ashes of loved ones could be kept in the home. He did not think, however, that cremation would generally be adopted in this country. Human nature finches at burning the deceased. Like Fine Displays The opportunity to make fine displays over loved ones would obtain. He discussed the benefit of co-operation. He then discussed the undertaking business from the standpoint of a layman. He told the funeral directors that it was thought that more definite instructions should be given the pallbearers in facing or looking away from the hearse. He dealt with the loading and unloading of limousines. He told them about having sufficient gasoline in the cars ordered and he knew of one instance where the gas had given out in a funeral car. Want Funerals Cheaper He announced at the outset that he had been asked to include another statement in his address, but it had been deemed wise by him not to do it. The layman wanted him to say to the undertakers about funerals, "Make them cheaper." The remarks concluded, Rev. R. H. Johnson pronounced the benediction, and shortly after 10 o'clock everybody filed out of the church to the street, where comment on the address was indulged in. Y. W. C. A.

(Photo by "The Browns" 603 N. 2nd St., Richmond, Va.) CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTING TO DEFRAUD THE DUTCH MARKET. J. M. Bebb Alleges Trick. --- Judge Haddon Finds Him Guilty. --- Influential White Citizens Appear in His Behalf. --- James Bedford Wanted. A singular case was staged in the Police Court, Judge T. Gray Haddon presiding, last Wednesday morning, James M. Bebbs (colored), who resides in South Richmond, was charged with attempting to defraud the Dutch Market out of $2.00 in the purchase of a ham there about two weeks ago. Bebbs is head red-cap at the Broad Street Station, being in charge of the force in charge of his reputation was the best was established. But an array of employees from the Dutch Market testified as follows: Went to Meat Counter Bebbs went to the meat counter and picked out two hams, finally purchasing one of them for $2.28. He was given a ticket to take to the cashier. He did not go directly to the cashier, but went out through the door and the ham remained wrapped up awaiting his return for about half an hour. When he re-entered the doorway he went to the cashier, made a payment and presented the slip for the delivery of the package. Reported the Matter The delay caused the salesman to report the matter and when the slip was finally examined it was found out that the 2 had been erased, leaving only 28c, and when this was presented to the cashier she received that amount. Bebbs refused to go to the office as requested, and when force was used he resisted, finally escaping in the struggle to the rear alley, and he was captured and arrested near Eighth Street. The salesman positively identified Bebbs. Examines Witnesses Attorney Benjamin Lovenstein strenuously defended Bebbs, subjecting the witnesses to a grueling cross-examination. He insisted that it was a case of mistaken identity. Then Bebbs told his story. He said that the witness had purchased some buns for his children. While there he met a colored man named James Bedford, whom he had not seen for about three years but with whom he had at one time worked. He asked him if he was going untown. At the Meat Counter He told him yes and he asked him to take the ticket over to the meat counter and get the ham. While the discussion was going on, he pointed to Bedford and told them to call him. He had not purchased any ham himself. In the meantime Bedford had disappeared. He was of the opinion that James Bedford lived on this side of the river. He said he resisted and ran because he saw that the white men in the Dutch Market were getting ready to beat him up. Hand Injured He claimed that one of the white men whose hand was injured in the struggle struck it against a door in hitting at him. One of the white men claimed that Bebbs had struck him on the side of the jaw, nearly knocking him down. In the face of all of this the situation looked bad for Bebbs until the custodian of the Broad Street Station spoke for him. He said that he had been employed at the station for about 11 years, that he reported everything lost or left in the station whether it was valuable or not. Trusted With Money He had been trusted with money and valuables and checks and had proven himself to be absolutely honest and reliable. He was followed by the chief detective officer at the Broad Street Station, who gave Bebbs a similar recommendation. These two white Virginians remained during the long interval to testify in behalf of a faithful servant. Inadvertently a sergeant of the police force had not been summoned by Attorney Lovenstein. He was ready and willing to add his testimony to that of the other two witt PRICE, FIVE CENTS MEETS N OF RICHMOND, VA. C. Johnson, H. L. Minor. A. Randolph, Edward Mimms. N. 2nd St., Richmond, Va.)

"Here is a case," said he, "in which if I should discharge the prisoner, I must accept his statement of the facts and not believe all of the other witnesses, who have appeared against him. There is no testimony to sustain his statement of the case but his own. He has his own. He has other witnesses, but has been able so to do. In view of his excellent reputation, I shall impose upon him only a fine of $25.00." James Bedford James M. Bebbs stepped up to the desk and paid the amount and passed out to the street. Who is James Bedford? Where can he be found? Who can bring forward information to clarify the situation? Certain it was that his white friends believed it to be a case of mistaken identity. Bebbs said that Bedford is just his height and build, but of a slightly lighter complexion. Locate James Bedford and find out what he says about it. As Bebbs has been convicted, the case is closed against Bedford. Unique Services at Sixth Street Baptist Church The Sixth Street Baptist Church presented a beautiful scene last Sunday night when the Willing Workers Club held Light and Darkness Service. The entire front of the church had been covered in white, the decorations consisting of white roses and ferns. The effect was bewildering. Rev. Arrington the pastor spoke on Light and Darkness. The members and friends are jubilant over the amount cleared. $100.00 and sincerely thank each and every one who in any way aided in this movement.

PNEUMATIC TURB RUSH AIR M NEW YORK - The skyscraper, the Architectural League's building platforms for six universities of various powers above the city's waterfront has called attention not only to the possibility of exiting the area next year, but also to the need to meet the most urgent needs of New York's most important institutions. The ease in compiling the total maintenance stations with pneumatic maneuvers leading directly into the post office system. At present the large man and woman passenger planes reach the airports which are far out of the city and of the vicinity of tall buildings. I have seen one hour and one half get into town. But with small landing platforms for small planes much above the piers of waterfront streets a man arriving at a New Jersey airport from the West would be transported to the city minding place by a small plane in ten minutes and within a few minutes after servicing at the airport, mail would be sent post office with the result that many times it would catch on earlier delivery. The inconsistency between the opulent efforts of the air mail post to eliminate time and space the 6 British criminals, knowing this rarely carry deadly weapons on burglary expeditions, since using them to kill would mean hanging. Here it means bring an old tailer. Rudolph Kawlikowski, lead or one Kosmos Machine Works, of Goerlitz, Germany, and a serious scientist, has interesting news for farmers. He says they can run motors with dust made of pulverized coal, charcoal, farm waste and other substances. Kawlikowski runs an eighty horsepower Diesel motor with eighty vegetable materials, costing 75 per cent less than gasoline costs in Germany. Dried and ground cornstalks could run all the farm machinery. Everybody knows the terrific explosive power of dust as demonstrated in exploding grain elevators. Controling that power in motors is new. Twelve hundred advertising agencies and writers are asked to compete for a prize of $1,000 answering the question, "Why Go to Church?"

JUDGE WADDILL AND THE POST OFFICE BULLDING_ We note with pleasure the an- nouncement that the construction of an eastern wing to the Richmond postoffive building, whieh will matel the western wing on Tenth Street and preserve the architectural har- mony of the Federal building, was agreed upon at a meeting here last Wednesday atternoon of the Post- office and Treasury Department au- thorities wity prominent citizens ‘This means the abandonment of the Postoffice Department's original plan to build a twelve story annex on the present parcel post site and to add a fifth floor to the main Federal building. This change a2- cords with the original views of that fistinguished jurist, Judge Edmund ‘Waddill, Jr., who vigorously op- posed the original plan, even after ha had been ovt-voted by other members of the committee. From an architectural and sym- metrical ‘Yandpoint, the original plan youlg have been @ monstrocity. We have more than once insisted that Judge Waddill, even at his age fs brighter and better mentally than he has ever been. It is a pity that he has not been elevated to that great tribunal at Washington, where Mr. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes who is on the road to ninety years fy still rendering brilliant service. On the other hand Judge Wadditl is affording much encouragement and service to nis homg neighbor- hood and thousands would dislike to have him go. This is a signal triumph for this Virginian Had he bogun his efforts earlier in life he might have been a master architect.

Go to Church on Sunday The moral delinquences of the younger generation and the indifference of the older people are due to the neglect of the Church and disregard of its fundamental teachings. The Sunday School is the seed of the Church. Children raised in idleness and sih will form the basis of corruption in the home in the government and in the nation. There is no power so potent to resist these evils as the Church of Christ. This is said regardless of the denomination for all of them teach the fundamental truths and endeavor to have their hearers as well as members practice them.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ```markdown ``` International Sunday School Lesson for May 5 WHAT HILKIAH FOUND IN THE TEMPLE Kings in Judah continued to be both good and bad. The actions of the people reflected the attitude of their monarch. Manasseh and Amon, predecessors of Josiah in the kingship, were notoriously vile in what they did and encouraged the people to do. The pure worship of Jehovah was discarded for the basest forms of idoltry that were observed in Jerusalem. Even worse, images of licitiousness were set up in the Temple itself. Josiah began his reign at the age of eight. Credit for his right pathway must be given to his advisers, such as Hilkiah, Shaphan, Huldah and Shallum. When conscience is not distorted we usually have a fairly safe guide. The statement of the wife about the collar that her husband was examining is also good for daily practice: "If it is doubtful, it is dirty." Very early in his reign Josiah started a general moral housecleaning throughout his empire. He began in Jerusalem and within the Temple itself. Aids to the idoltery and vileness were destroyed. Preparation was made to call the people back to God and His ways by getting ready to reestablish the worship as of old. While clearing rubbish from the Temple and its adjoining rooms Hilkiah came upon some rolls of writing on parchment that proved to be our Pentateuch, in whole or in part. Herein were the very laws regarding ceremony and worship, as well as rules for right living, that had been the guide of the Hebrew nation from the time of the Exodus from Egypt. What Jehovah had delivered by way of commandments at Mount Sinai were recorded thereon. Hilkiah was the high priest. He hastened to Shaphan, the scribe, and announced "I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah." Then the king was advised and also rejoiced that now they had the exact teaching of God concerning the work of reform that they had already undertaken. All these men in office made careful and personal study that they might act accordingly. These Scriptures were also the blessed heritage of all the poets. Therefore a summons went forth that all should assemble in the courts of the Temple and give attention to the formal reading of these rote, or at least the major commands therein. Together with the commands was the statement of the covenant that Jehovah would enter into with them, when they would do their part in full obedience. Promise of future blessing is always made to those who will forsake their sins and live according to the divine will. Josiah fully identified himself with his people and personally, and on their behalf, revowed unto the Lord. Thus was the covenant of promise renewed by the ever-willing Father. The vow included "to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the works of the covenant that were written in this book." Josiah really meant business, for the record is "He caused all—to stand to it." The principal application is for each one of us to make fullest use of this Bible which contains not only the same laws of Moses but also the teachings of Jesus. Benjamin Franklin said "My advice that you cultivate an acquaintance with and a friend hollow in the Holy Scripture." --- --- MEN Study The Bible With The MEN Brotherhood Bible Class OF FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Individual Class Room Seating 100 Men.

I 12 MCEARLAND AND GARDNER, BLAIN MUSICIANS SIX The Chuck Hills of South Dakota is having a renaissance of its primal industry—gold mining. Since the great gold rush of 1876 when placer miners panured out of thousands of dollars a day in course gold and nuggets gold mining has been the one supreme interest of the mountain towns. When the Chicago & North Western Railway ran the first through train into Deadwood in December, 1890, the one thought of the welcoming people of the Hills was that the retractory ores could be shipped more easily than mining machinery could be brought in at less cost, and eastern capital built in the readily interested Tracks were laid with steep grades and twisting curves, and snuffers and reduction plants were built. When the tourist trade came to be a tremendous factor owing to the convenient and comfortable transportation, Deadwood considered that only one phase of its life-long practice of hospitality. The town in the heart of the mountains always had an out-dung lath-string and extra places at the hearth and the table.

Are they stuck in the corner of mother's attic, gathering dust while the new ones take their place? Have the folk songs and popular revival hymns of fifty years ago been released to the ash-heap by the sweep of modern jazz? The answer is no. "Seeing Nellie Home" and "When the Rose Bloom Again" are just as popular now as they were when man and dad used to trip the Virgin Beel; and "Turkey in the Straw" will cause granddad to tap his toe in fond memory of the old square dance at the barn.

He was as an early member of the Roxy Gang that Nilssen was first introduced to the radio audience as the "radio Viking." He was chosen for this concert because one of the feeling critics of Norway told, in the Afterpenetor of Oslo, Norway, that Nilssen was "the first singer we have heard in a long time," and the music critic of the famous Paris Martin especially commended his presentation of Grieg, the poet-composer of Grieg. Nissen, however, is an American, a native of the Oregon woods and received all his early musical training in this country. He started as a boy soprano, at the same time intending to become a pianist. The spirit of song seized him, however, and he turned all the energy inherited from his Viking ancestors into the cultivation of his voice, a deep, rich bass-bartone. He supplemented his studies in America with a course in Paris, where he prepared for opera and made his debut in 1922 in Monte Carlo, where he immediately won acclaim. London, Paris and the concert halls of England, Scotland and Norway claimed him before he returned to America in 1924 for his first concert. ay, bringing THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Fashions For Infants Become Chief Interest of Stylists Mother and children Every article described in the Mother's shop—bassinets, sheerest frock fabrics, foods, bottles, high chairs and safety pins is scientifically tested for purity, wearability, and general utility in the laboratories of Ward & Co. before it passes the strict editorial requirements of the "Mother's Shop" section.

He is a newspaper writer who drives a tumble-down car he calls Grandmother Page. In love with Maryella, he has tried being in Cowork with her. The three are members of an amateur dramatic group. Plans for a play at the Old Soldiers' Home are under way, and Maryella has engraved trout while Maryella is out driving with Bilbeck, and Cooper, passing in a big roadside cafe, able to start his car again. The amateur players are to give Pygmaon and Galatea at the Old Soldiers' Home. In their play, Maryella and Maryella despares when she discovers his how legs. Mrs. Hemingwow, later battles Bilbeck and talks to him about the trouble with Maryella, and a tough hand grasping him by the shoulder and lifting him out of his seat. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Mr. Hemmingway does not belong to the club. He is managing editor of the Daily Mail, and has to work nights too often. But he usually calls for his wife to take her home from rehearsals. We stood in the aisle and glared at one woman. "Why John!" Mrs. Hemmingway interposed. "I wasn't expecting you for quite a while yet." "I can see that," he retorted, not taking his eyes from my face. "Now all I want to know is who you are," he shouted at me. "Take off that mask before I yank it off." He made a motion toward me with his open hand. His life stopped him. "Doe," John. It's Tom Bilbec, that's his real face. John Hemmingway's jaw felt. He and I are close friends. We went through all our schooling together, and we belong to the same secret societies. I suppose we have sworn eternal friendship and brotherly love on a dozen occasions. It was partly owing to him that I held down my star job on the newspaper. "Oh!" he exclaimed, and turned to his wife. "But—" She had stepped out in the aisle and but eve fell on her costume for the first time. He was speechless—with adoration, I thought. "What have you got on?" he deserved hoarsely. "Is it anything at all or have I merely got a speck in my eye?" "This is my costume for the play." she explained carefully. "Your costume?" he repeated, puzzled. "Where is the rest of it?" "This is all." "All? What do you represent—a clothespin?" "No." Mrs. Hemmingway has the virtue and the fault of literalness "I am a Greek boy." "Not any more," her husband stated firmly. "You can quit right here. I won't have my wife parading around in that kind of a—whatever it is." "It's a Greek tunic." "It is not," he declared, looking at it more closely. "It's my silk sirt shirt with the neck cut out and a little embroidery around the tails! Go and get on some clothes and I will take you home." "Oh, John! You don't mean it!" Mrs. Hemmingway was genuinely alarmed new, and feared that he was in carquest. "This is all for Art." "I don't care whether it is for Art or for Tom Bilbeck. Go, cover 'em up." By this time the rest of the company had heard the discussion, which had been conducted in the same ones as those ordinarily used on the bleachers at a baseball game. They gathered around. "Please, Mr. Hemmingway," pleaded Maryella. "You couldn't make Helen withdraw now. It will break up the show." "If she doesn't it will break up the Hemmingway family," he declared firmly. "Is Mr. Hemmingway here?" inquired a voice loudly from the rear of the auditorium. It was the boy from the box-office. "Yes," replied John. "What is it?" "You're wanted on the telephone." Hemmingway left us, a dejected group. "What can we do?" walled Maryella disconsolately. "What will the old soldiers do?" "Don't worry," Mrs. Hemmingway said. "I'll manage him some way. I'll fix the costume up so that he will approve all right." She sighed with regret at the idea. Hemmingway returned. "Get dressed, Tom," he said to me. "We've got to go over too the office." "What happened?" I asked. "There has been a jail-delivery at the penitentiary, and twenty prisoners have escaped. It's a big story, and we'll have to have you handle it." A chorus of protests went up at the idea of my leaving the rehearsal. I was just peeved enough so that it did not make any difference to me. They had made fun of me, and now that I had a good excuse for withdrawing they could see how they could get along without me.

The coach came out in front of the curtain to announce that the stage was all set for the third act. "Everybody on stage," he requested. I did not respond. "Surely you are not going to go away during a dress, rehearsal?" said Jim Cooper. "I really have to go." I replied, and added bitterly: "It doesn't make any particular difference. I believe that OTS HY TWEK "I thought you might want these . . ." you will find the dummy more pleasing to some of the members of the cast, and if you use it I'm sure it will save me a lot of trouble." "Maryella"—Jim turned to her—"can't you say something to make Tom remain? He'll do it for you." Maryella looked at me with a coldly flashing eye. "I doubt," she hesitated, "whether anything I could say would have any effect. I imagine that his interest in the rehearsal will cease with Mrs. Hemmingway's departure." I could scarce believe my ears. How could she be so unreasonable? I turned on my heel and made down the aisle for the front entrance of the theatre. "Tom," some one shouted after me. I continued my way unheeeding. "Oh Tom!" "Wait a minute!" implored Jim. I did not answer. If I had I might have said something that I should have regretted exceedingly later. Sense one was coming down the aisle after me. I quickened my pace, determined to listen to no pleadings. Maryella had chosen to bring personalities into it, and I would not stand for it, that was all. I reached the main entrance of the theatre and stepped through a door into the brilliantly lit lobby. A man who was buying tickets at the box office looked up and with a yell ran cut into the street, leaving his change Lehind on the shelf. Some one opened the door I had just closed behind me. I did not look around. "Tom!" It was Jim Cooper's voice. "Well?" "I thought you might want these it you are going over to the office." He thrust something into my hand and then hastened back into the theater. CHAPTER III WATCH FOR THE BUG SURPRISE! The penitentiary is one of the things that places our city on the map. Therefore any happening of importance cut out there dominates the local news and figures largely also in the Associated Press dispatches. The prison authorities had been having considerable trouble because of a number of men among the prisoners who were agitating for an eight-hour day, and some new fox-trot records for the phonograph, or something like that. The warden had not granted their demands, so this jail-delivery practically amounted to a strike. The men who escaped left word that they would not come back until their demands were acceded to. Of course it was really a lot more serious than that, but I wrote it up in that fashion for the Daily Mail. Not that I felt particularly facetious—far from it; that is my newspaper style. The public and my employers expect it of me. What really occupied my mind was the unpleasant recollection of my departure from the Sheridan Dramatic Club and simultaneously from the good graces of que Maryella, eminently desirable spinster. I also had room in my consciousness for an unpleasant speculation as to whether or not John Hemmingway really thought that I was flirting with his wife. I could get another job, of course but my berth on the Daily Mail and its allied syndicate was very pleasant and luxurious. They had to hold the presses for me on the city edition until I returned from the "pen." so that it was after two when I finally left the office to around. "Tom!" get supper at an all-night lunch- counter. I turned in about three, but didn't get to sleep for an hour or so after that. It seemed as if I had barely done off when my telephone rang. I got up and answered it. "Hello." I growled. "Hello, Tom. This is Jim Cooper talking." I muttered something under my bearth. "Don't swear," he observed pleasantly. "You ought to be glad I woke you up." "Glad?" I repeated, incredulously. "What have I got to be glad about?" "Because Maryella wants to talk to you, for one thing. She asked me to tell you to come over to her house as soon as possible. You see, it is all for the best." "Go to the deuce," I advised crossly. "I should be glad to," he was answering in an unruffled tone as I hung up the receiver. I went back to my nice warm bed, but sleep was effectually routed for the day. My curiosity was aroused. What did Maryella want? Probably something wherein I would be the nickel-plated goat. I was suspicious. Still, it was nice of her to me first move toward reconciliation. In the past that had always been my part. Maybe she knew she was in the wrong and wanted to apologize. "Inere was only one way to find out. I got up and dressed." After breakfast I walked to Maryella's house. The air was quite cold and a light snow was falling. We had had cold weather before, and there was a couple of inches of ice on the river, but this was our first snowstorm. Mrs. Hemmingway was with Maryella. The huge living-room of the Waite home was littered with sewing materials, endless ruffles and basting-thREADS. A cheerful fire was burning in the grate. The two young women were on the floor cutting something out of white cloth. The atmosphere was too happy and industrious for me to preserve my grouch in. I almost regret to say that I thawed at once. "We're making pads," Maryella explained after I was comfortably settled. "For me?" I asked suspiciously. "for everybody who needs them," Maryella added hastily, interpreting the hostility in my tone. "For you, for Mr. Cooper and for Mrs. Hemmingway." "For Mrs. Hemmingway?" I repeated incredulously. "I don't see what she needs of—" Maryella interrupted me before I could finish. "Mrs. Hemmingway, who is speechless with modest blushes, wishes me to thank you on behalf of herself and her Creator. As a matter of fact we are not making any pads for her. Quite the reverse, in fact. "But we are building some for you and Jim. "You should see the fine large chest we have wished on our husky Greek warrior; and as far as you are concerned—Well, all I can say is that we used Mrs. Hemmingway for a pattern. But that is not what I asked you to come over and talk about." "No?" with a polite inflection from me. "No. Did you ever read a story entitled 'Dollyanna'?" "Not yet." I replied with my best noncommittal manner. "I have heard of it thought. What's it about?" "Its about a great many things," Margyella explained seriously, "but mostly it's the story of a girl who believes that no matter what happens it is all for the best. She is an awfully dear little child, and she always looks on the bright side of everything. It's sort of sad too, because she gets hurt once and nearly dies, but she cheers everybody up just the same and tells them that it is all for the best because it has been a dull season for the undertakers anyway." --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page Milady's Beauty Secrets By Helena Rubinstem Helena Rubinstem Beauty, how frail and how fleeting, The bloom of a fine summer's day. —Burns Spring is a most difficult season for the skin, for at the time the general system is undergoing subtle changes which are quite naturally reflected in the complexion. proper dieting is a safe and certain way to the cure of many ills.
