BLACKSHEAR AGAIN DEFINES HIS POSITION IN EPISCOPAL CONTROVERSY VOLUME XLVI. NO. 49 TH Secret Broo REV. BLAC KLAN VISITS CHURCH TO KEEP OUT NEGROES One of 25 at Blackshear Service Says They Intended to Bar 100 Expected There RECTOR UNAWARE OF MOVE He Did Not Invite Klansmen— Repeats Stand, Declaring Critics Have Backbones of Jellyfish (New York Times) About twenty-five Ku Klux Klansman, not in regalia, attended the regular Sunday morning service yesterday at the Protestant Episcopal Church of St. Matthew, Tompkins Avenue and McDonough Street, and heard the rector of the church, the Rev. William St. John Blackshear, reiterate his policy, expressed originally in his church bulletin of September 15th, of discouraging Negroes from attending his church and encouraging them to attend near-by churches for Negroes. The rector was unaware of the presence of the Klansman until informed of it at the close of the service. "Now nothing about why they came," he said. "They are most certainly not here by my invitation. I do not need their services in the conduct of my church affairs. If any Negroes, or any others, come to my church, they will be treated just like anybody else, and I will not tolerate any discourtesy." Some of the members of the Klan admitted that they were on hand of their own volition and without the knowledge of Mr. Blackshear. "We heard," said one, "that a delegation of over a hundred Negroes from New England were going this morning to attend the service at St. Matthew's, and we are here to see that they don't get in. We are going to help keep this a white man's church." The Rev. Mr. Blackshear said he had heard of the possible visit of a delegation of Negroes. "They would have been ushered to seats just like any one else," he said, "but my sermon would have been unchanged. They would have seen that merely by the presence of a number of them they could not in any way overweave me or keep me from expressing my true sentiments. The topic of Mr. Blackshear's session yesterday was "Sticking to It," and his text was the thirteenth verse of the sixth chapter of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, "Having doall, to stand." "From many of the pulpits of New York I have been criticized for expressing my convictions" he declared. "But my critics have judged me entirely without hearing my side of the case. In condemning me they are mere 'blowing with the wind,' following the line of least resistance, and in doing so they are showing that they have the backbones of jellyfish. "I have never tried, nor shall I ever try, to deny the kingdom of God to any man. In fact, I solicit your aid for the colored parish of St. Cyprian's at Bond and Bergen Streets. I am as interested that Negroes shall have everything that the church can offer them as I am that white people shall, and in the past I have always assisted them when possible. And I shall continue to take an interest in their welfare. But I maintain that it is the best policy for me to discourage their attendance at St. Matthew's, and guide them into the work of the parishes of their own people." Mr. John Mitchell, Editor, Richmond Planet, 311 N. 4th St., Richmond, Va. Dear John: I am glad to see that we have finally been able to secure the traffic light at Second and Leigh Streets. You will recall that I went to work on this last year and it was promised by the Department of Utilities this year. Now that they have filled their promise there are people like to get for the colored people of Madison Ward, and one is, the better lighting of that section which is now in need of light and especially Second Street. I think that if we are to accomplish any results along this line, the matter will have to be brought to the attention of the Council so that provision can be made in the 1930 budget to take care of the cost. I am glad we have finally been able to get the traffic light and you will recall I sent you a letter sometime ago after my appeal to the Department of Public Utilities, in which they wrote me that they hoped to have this installed during their present year. Assuring year of my interest in doing what I can to make the living conditions of your people better in Madison Ward, I am. Yours truly, O. HERBERT FUNSTEN. You know the undertakers hereabouts. Still, this fact does not indicate that we should not tell you and your friends that A. D. Price, Jr., the well-known funeral director and embalmer, is here to serve people, who may have located here from other States and who may need his services. Let them come up and examine his stock and prices. He feels certain that he will get their business. Edward Stewart does not do overmuch talking except to people who trust him and know that he will do what he says he will do. Call on him at his well-stocked store, 203 South Second Street. You will save doctor's bills and be known. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY OCTOBER 19, 1929 DECIDES PARDON, ONCE PRESIDENT BUTTON AND THE A NARROW ESCAPE GIVEN, IS NOT REVOKABLE FLORAL TRIBUTES Columbia, S. C., Oct. 14.—Backed up by the State Supreme Court in his contention that a pardon, once given, even though obtained by fraud, cannot be revoked, Ben Bess, Florence County Negro, who was freed then recommitted to prison by Governor richards, awaited freedom today. Governor Richards' signature to the release was ordered by the court after its study of the pardon given Bess and then recalled. The official order for the release of the Negro was expected to be placed before the governor today. The chief executive pardoned Bess after the Negro had served thirteen years of thirty-year sentence upon conviction of assault upon a white woman. The pardon was granted when the governor was presented an affidavit signed by the woman setting forth that Bess was not guilty of the crime. Later evidence was received that the woman had been paid $50 to sign the paper and that she did not know its contents. HOME COMING INTERESTS MANY Services at Fourth Baptist Church were well attended last Sunday. A great congregation heard Rev. M. M. Fisher at morning service, and large numbers heard Rev. C. S. McCall at 8 P. M. Great interest is being shown in all church activities. Elaborate plans are being made for the social home-coming on the fourth Sunday in October. The Sunday school is having a literary program at 9:30; the pastor, Dr. F. W. Williams, and the trustees have arranged special services at 11:30 A. M.; the two missionary circles and the usher boards at 3:30; the Sunday school, B. Y. P. U. and Junior Missionary at 8 P. M. (the latter will furnish music). It is urged that each member and friend of the church will make a 100 per cent attendance at this great home gathering. The Lord's supper Sunday at 4 P. M. The public is always welcome. Dr. William H. Smith was knocked down by an automobile at Adams and Leigh Streets September 24th. The case was called in the Police Court last Tuesday morning, Judge H. A. Maurice presiding. One of the defense witnesses said he was struck by the car as he stepped off the sidewalk. "Case dismissed," he was the sharp rejoinder of the court. Dr. Smith told the explain that he had caused the street and was stepping upon the sidewalk and not off it, but the testimony came too late. The quick decision of the court had settled the matter. The president's office on the seventh floor of the Law Building, where is located the home office of the Union Life Insurance Company of Virginia, was a scene of transcendent loveliness last Wednesday morning, October 16th when Hon. Joseph Button entered upon his duties. Most expensive flowers, uniquely designed and arranged, met his gaze. He has been the recipient of many letters voicing congratulations and his thousands of friends here and throughout the country wish him well. TEACHER TRAINING CLASS FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL AWARD- ED DIPLOMAS The Teacher Training Class of the First Baptist Church Sunday School will hold its graduating exercises in the auditorium of the church on Sunday morning, October 20th, from 10:20 to 11:05.

PUBLICATION OF EUGENIA WHITE STIRS INTEREST (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) I had no idea that the publication of the account of the strange case of Eugenia White had attracted so much attention in police circles until I was approached by two officers, one an ex-police officer, in the Police Court last Tuesday morning before the opening of the court, which was presided over by that veteran jurist, Judge H. A. Maurice of Southside. They were wrought up over our comment upon our criticism of Officer Burroughs and said that they would sue me for damages were they in his place. Should Have Shot Her They alleged that Officer Burroughs should have shot Eugenia White when she drew a gun on him. They were of the opinion that I had no use for a police officer. I insisted that I had great respect for the Police Department and for the officers composing the same, but I insisted that men on the force who had a bitter hatred of Negroes should not be detailed for service in delicate cases, but officers of a conservative type should be sent for this special kind of duty among colored people. Game Warden Hill's Statement. They remarked that they would do under similar circumstances, and I called them to the court for their action. They hold the law. Game Warden J. H. Hill thought that I had misrepresented him in the article. He did not strike Eugenia White. He had held one of her hands. He explained how he happened to be present at the time. I told him I had only quoted what Eugenia White had said and would be glad to publish his denial. He had no antipathy to colored people and he dealt fairly with them. The Facts Cited I explained to him the case from my viewpoint. Deputy Constable Marsh had gone to 812 North Fourth Street with a truck to remove the furniture on account of the failure to keep up the payments which Eugenia White had assumed for her deceased mother. Eugenia refused him admittance, when she should have permitted him to remove the furniture. The deputy finding himself unable to execute the order of removal call- PRICE FIVE OENTS SIT R ervice at the Bar. NTROVERSY TION OF A WHITE INTEREST ed upon the police. Under the law the deputy had a right to force an entrance, breaking in if need be, and removing the furniture. Furniture Secured This accomplished the matter would end. But one of Eugenia's relatives signed up to take care of the past due payments and the property was not removed. The whole case was a civil one and not a criminal one. Eugenia White was guilty of contempt of the Civil Justice Court. She could be fined or imprisoned or both. She was dragged from her own home into a criminal court and punished. The point raised was that with conditions in this sections as they are this hysterical woman and a hot-headed police officer might have precipitated a riot, which in turn might have led to the slaughter of many colored people in that neighborhood when there was no need of the same. According to Game Warden J. H. Hill's statement, Officer Burroughs knocked the revolver from Eugenia White's hand at the time. He did not attempt to shoot her, although, under the plea of self-defense, he might have done so. Probably Unbalanced Eugenia White is of slim build and would not weigh more than 130 pounds. Some people who know her believe her to be somewhat unbalanced at times. Game Warden Hill claims that she used awful language in denouncing him. For our part, we hope that the Police Department will see to it that Negro-hating officers be detailed to some other work. A large proportion of the policemen are friendly towards colored people and can prevent trouble, while some others would promote trouble. Undr staker Frank H. Hayes is at his post of duty after a stay of three weeks in the hospital. His friends are happy so know that he again in form and ready to render the best of service.

Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the brusked spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was: that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair, and after experimenting for twenty-seven months Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered C certain herb, which when macera ted with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocoa nut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live. Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this paper who will send his or her name and address to THE HERBS OF LIFE INDIAN MEDICINE COMPANY 3200 Block Spring Garden St. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA NOTE:—Send for your free box today.

I have never been able to understand a drunkard. Every man may be pardoned for making a fool of himself occasionally; and, if a man is behaving when we hear of his folly, it helps with the public. But the folly of the drunkard is continuous; he punishes himself every week or every day, and knows the loss is greater than the profit; not one drunk in the many he has engaged in has paid him. Therefore how does such a man satisfy his conscience? An old drunkard tells me the exhilaration of a good stiff drink of whisky lasts forty minutes. For such exhilaration one pays with bushead lasting several hours; in the case of a drunkard, he pays with the content of the drink, the fortune, he accepts the unnecessary disgrace of failure and poverty—and even if born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he soon spews it out, and substitutes pewter. What is the philosophy of the drunkard? Or of the idler, the bore, the dead beat, or other persistent violator of rules of human society? They have excuses, but usually these are merely exercise in the trade of a liar, wherein one insults himself with further injury. LADIES WILL BE DELIGHTED. SEE THE 4-PIECE BUFFET SET.

If everybody would try and do right this would be a model world in which to live. The Police Department of this city may have its faults, but it certainly has been built up to a fine degree of efficiency. There is no other difference between law-breaking, insulting white folks and law-breaking, insulting colored folks than that of color. They both deserve the same punishment and ostracism. The Fire Department and the Police Department employees are asking for an increase in wages. They certainly have been getting an increase in expenses and the increase in wages should logically follow. THE OTHER SIDE We must admit that we were deeply affected by the reported "outrage" upon Eugenia White, a young colored woman, who resides at 812 N. Fourth Street, and who evidently did not know the law and was not really cognizant of what she was doing. She resisted a High Constable or his deputy and went to the extent of threatening him with an automatic revolver, which did not contain any cartridges. The only redeeming feature about it is that she was in her own home and these weapons are intended for the protection of women and the home. This deputy had the legal right to force an entrance after he had made known his mission and had she shot or killed him she would have been guilty of murder. No plea in abeyance would have saved her from a conviction. She was as much in the wrong in this particular as the officer was in taking the life of James Sharp. Two wrongs do not make a right. The safe plan is to recognize the badge of authority, not particularly the officer, but to obey the officer as the representative of the authority of the law. Should he exceed his authority, charges should be filed with the Chief of Police against him. There is no excuse hereabouts for resisting police officers, for with a few exceptions they are disposed to be friendly. As for Eugenia White, a report that she was being man-handled by this particular officer would have aroused bitter passions among hundreds of our people and brought about a conflict in which numbers of our people might have been slaughtered, while those actually promoting it would have in all probability gone "scot free". A WHITE POLITICAL BATTLE The political contest between the two wings of the Democratic Party in this State is nearing its close. So far as we have been able to observe, we cannot see that there will be any particular change should the independents win. Certainly, the change will not be of a radical character. No "clean sweep" in office-holders can possibly result, although it will spell the sealing of the future political career of that brilliant leader, Harry Flood Byrd. The expressed desire of both sides that colored people were not wanted has been respected. The colored people have not intruded themselves and await with complacency, the result of the election at the polls. They are wanted by the Socialists, but even that Party has not made any special bid for the votes of this class of people. It looks very much as though the November election result, when the State went 25,000 votes against the Democrats might be repeated. "LILY WHITES" The New York Times in its issue of the 16th inst. discusses the efforts of the Republican leaders in the Southern States to launch and operate a "white Republican Party". It refers particularly to the State of Florida. It correctly says that Negro Republicans of the South have no more hand in nominating candidates than Negro Democrats. Still, this matter will ultimately be adjusted in the national body. These Lily Whites are after the federal offices and after the State offices if they can muster strength enough to overturn the present Democratic machines. They will then for a time at least "live in clover", so to speak. If the Negro leaders do not and cannot find a way out then they deserve the "lean years" that are just ahead for them. LILY WHITES (New York Times) Cheered by last year's so edifying miracle, Florida Republican leaders are hopeful and perky. In a conciliable they have naturally invited the Hoovercrats to full membership in the Republican party. They will recommend to the next meeting of the State Committee that the party have primary elections restricted to white members. The "white primary," established by the party organization, is the in the Southern Democratic States. Unnecessary efforts to enact this rule into statute have been frustrated by the Supreme Court. If the Republicans have usually preferred conventions to primaries, that has been on account of the expense and, in most States, the hopeless- history. ness to. For the most part, the convention is a white convention. The existence here and there of "lily white" and colored factions, sporadic negro Federal officeholders and the quadrennial splendor of negro delegates admitted to or excluded from Republican national conventions should not hide the fact that the Republican party of the South has become a white party. There are local variations and differences; but generally speaking negro Republican of the South have no more hand in nominating candidates than negro Democrats. Some years ago a North Carolina Republican convention declared specifically that the Republican party of that State "is an organization of white men and women" and will appoint no negro to. orce. that is a condition of Republican success in any Southern State where such success is possible. By a deserved ironical punishment the Republican party of the North, which imposed negro suffrage upon the South, sees Southern Republicans scorning the aid of those allies by which Republican dominance in the South was to be secured. The South may yet divide between Democrats and Republicans, as it did between Demons and Whigs; but, almost as in the days before the war, both parties will be white. This is a condition, not a theory. We may regard it as the last footnote to the history of Reconstruction; yet ten and twenty years after the dispersion of the carpet baggers, Virginia and North Carolina had another lesson, one in the use of negro voters made by the Readjusters, the other in the Republican- populist-negro combination. Even where there is, as, we believe, is the case in Florida, only a poll-tax qualification, the negroes don't seem to care to pay it, even if they able. They accept the situation. How in the end will it strike the Northern negroes, so long and unduly grateful to the party that freed the slave? There is a lot of them, and their number grows. In some Republican Northern States their vote is important. That the Republican party of the South has turned the cold shoulder to them, they may learn—here, perhaps, they are learning—to retaliate. The notion may be called fantastic, but it has strong elements of historic justice. VIRGINIA COTTON REPORT The Virginia cotton crop declined during September owing to unfavorable weather conditions and the October 1st forecast of the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service of 46,000 bales is 2,000 bales below the September estimate but is still 2,000 bales over last year's production. The hot, dry weather the early part of the month caused shedding of bolls. The boll weevil has appeared in larger numbers than usual and in most of the Southern section of the Virginia cotton territory the weevil will cause considerable loss this season. Very little cotton had been picked prior to October 1st, and the ginning report showed less than 400 bales, compared with 900 bales ginned to the same date last year. A cotton crop of 14,915,000 bales for the United States is indicated by the October cotton crop report of the United States Department of Agriculture. This represents an increase of 90,000 bales, or on half of one per cent above the report as of September 1st. Decreases in the indicated crop in the Carolinas Texas and Oklahoma have been more than offset by increases in the central portion of the belt from Georgia to Louisiana and Missouri. MAYTOLI HENRY M.

John H. Alexander, a graduate of West Point, being called as its first Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Lieut. Alexander's tenure was shortly terminated by death, and in the same year Lieut. Chas. Young was detailed to fill the vacancy. Lieut.-Col. Davis first came to Wilberforce in 1905 as Lieut. Davis, succeeding the then Captain Young, his assignment lasting until 1909; his second assignment lasted only two years, being from 1915 to 1911, having been promoted to captain. Leaving Wilberforce, after his first assignment, Lieut.-Col. Davis served for two years as military attache to the American Legation in Liberia; returning from service abroad he was detailed to Ft. Russell, thence to the Mexican border for three years; in 1917 he was detailed to the Philippine Islands, where he served until 1920, meriting promotion from captain to Lieut.-Colonel. As Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Taskegee Institute from 1920 to 1924 Lieut.-Col. Davis organized and perfected Taskegee's R. O. T.

Heart to Heart Talk By Dr. John Joseph Daines WAYS AND MEANS No matter what the shortcoming, scolding or perpetual nagging never cured it. A word of encouragement, rightly placed, is worth a carload of impatient adjuation I know a man who is generally regarded as a financial failure. As such, he is passed by, as not worth the attention of the busy world. He therefore becomes despondent at times; if he does a good deed, people seem to think he has not done all he should. They regard him as a good-natured guy, who could have been wealthy if he had just had any sense. In reality, this fellow has lent a hand every time he found a brother in need—a hand, for that was all he had. He gives his mite cheerfully to charity, church and state. Peddlers regard him as "easy money," if he happens to increase his income a little; they swarm about him like mosquitoes. His wife nags him, because he doesn't make good like other husbands do for their wives. His life of service to others is anything but a happy one. If every man was as honest as Joe, this would be a better world. Once he confided to me, "I've tried to be a good man, and, above everything else, to wrong nobody; I've done my best, but it don't seem to make me any friends." "Joe," I replied, "you haven't any enemies; everybody likes you—I'm sure of that." "But, doctor," he came back, "they never tell me so. If somebody'd just . . . . . ." He drew out a faded handkerchief, turned away for a moment and repeated, "if they'd just give me a word, now and then. . . . . . ." I saw myself as in a mirror; I had never found time to lighten Joe's burden—to give him what his hungry heart was crying for. And, it would have cost me absolutely nothing! Joe is a better man than I am. I felt like a culprit under an unintentional rebuke.

C. will preach Subject "The Duty of a God-Called Preacher." Sunday School Lesson Recreation is not opposed to work, rather it is the intertude that enables one to accomplish all the more in service to both self and humanity. The selected passages for intimate study are Jeremiah 31:12; Zachariah 8:5; Matthew 11:16-19; Mark 2:18-28; 6:30-32; John 2:1-11. Christianity is the joyous religion both in its philosophy and experience. This fact is reflected in its music, and in this respect is in decided contrast with all other religions. While recreation is for every age, Zachariah calls special attention to the ideal when he pictures the future world as the place where "boys and girls are playing in the streets thereof." One thing that the Christian missionary must do in his program is to teach the children how to play and then to pass on the spirit of school to the adults. Much in play is detrimental to the best in life. True values are obtained when leisure time makes for re-creation. It has often been said that a clear index of character can be obtained by observing how a person makes use of his leisure time. Read the reference in Matthew and you will note that the parable deals with the play spirit which is found in the familiar game of "Follow the Leader." Adults do this when they make themselves shaves to style, which is often their undoing. Jesus often watched the children and has ever been their trusted Friend. It is the part of all adults to make all local conditions safe for the children. It is the spirit of Jesus who loves children's Playgrounds in interested centers. Such a place cannot be found in any non-Christian land, where barbarous child-labor is promoted. Reference is made to a piece of shrunken cloth for the patch and new wine skins for the new wine, of changed conditions. Many old time ways must be abandoned in getting the most out of the developing resources. We are thinking now in terms of the five days a week contract and this leaves more leisure time than man ever had. One argument for the Saturday half holiday years ago was that man would have more time to get his recreation and then go to church on the Sabbath. Facts seem to show that the more leisure he has the less thinks of building up his spiritual life. The passage in Mark portrays a forced vacation when news was received about the killing of John the Baptist. This change made security for a Summer School in which Jesus trained the Twelve.

As they stepped down from their one, both stepped and clutched. car, both gassed up the suspense Doctor Steddon was a few yards away from them, studying the off-getting passengers "Let's see if he knows us," snickered Mrs. Steddon, with a relapse to virginness. "Let's!" said Mem. They knew him instantly, of course. He wore the same suit they had left him in, and the only change they could desry was a little more white in a little less hair. But he did not know them at all. It amused them to pass him by and note his casual glance at the smart hat and white traveling suit of life. He had expected a change in his daughter, but he was probably braced for something loud and gaudy. So her father passed her by, When Mrs. Steddon turned and hailed him in a voice that was gladder and more tender than she knew, he whirled with his heart bounding, and they heard his hungry, feasting heart groaning. "I thank Thee, O God! Now lettest Thy servant depart in peace. I neither the Lord nor his family granted that prayer. His wife had turned time far back. Poor thing! She had never known till this year the rapture of being fashionable; had never dared, never understood how, to look her best. Hiding under his high chin, Meem begged his forgiveness for heartaches she had caused him. She wept on his white bow tie, pressing on button on his coat and pouring out her regret for dragging his wife away from him and causing them to quarrel over her. She said that it was a crime for her to be taken her mother on East and let him alone, but he protested: "Dyyou suppose I wanted my little girl traveling in those wicked cities all by herself?" "This gladdened Mem exquisitely knew that, for all her wantor she was still in her father's an innocent child who must be protected from the world. Of course, it was, rather, the world that needed to be protected from her. But she would not disturb his sweet delusion. When he had come down to give Mem welcome, as soon as he could push through the mob of Steddon children that devoured Mem and their mother. The manager of the Calverly Capitol, with its capacity of two hundred, brushed the mayor side and claimed Mrs. Steddon and his prize. He had a car waiting for her, and a room at the hotel in case the parasomone was over-crowded. Doctor Steddon grew Isaian as he stormed back: "My daughter stays in her own home!" This brought Mem snuggling to his elbow. As their car moved off, with a sudden stab she remembered Elwood Farnaby and the far-off girl that he had loved too madly well in that moonlit embrasure. How little and pitiful that Mem had been! There was a toyish unimportance in her very fall, the debacle of a marionette world. But Elwood Farnaby was great by virtue of his absence and his death. He was a friend with Ronco and Leander and Abelard and the other geniuses of passion whose shadows had grown gigantically long in the sunset of a tragic punishment for their arders. A horrifying thought came to Mem: if he had not died, she would have become his wife and the mother of his premature child. She would have been a laughing-stock, material for ugly whispers about the village. And she would have been the shabblest of wives even here. She would never have known fame or ease or wealth. After lunch she found Dr. Bretherick and had him drive her to the cemetery. "And," she said, "I want to give you the installment I forgot, of the conscience money. Please get to agap as soon as you can. And here's a little extra." The doctor took the bills with a curious smile. She seemed to feel his sardonic perplexity as she mused about alogd a well-thought path. "If I hadn't been a 'fallen wqmman', I couldn't have saved papa's church from ruin. How do you explain it? What's the right and wrong of it all?" The old doctor shook his head: "I'm no longer fool enough, honey, to try to explain anything that happens to us here. According to one line of thinking, your mister was the divine plan. According to another, good can never come out of evil. Of course we know it does, because we are out of good. So let's be as human as the man, and I guess that's about as divine as we'll ever get Down Hiding under his high chin, Mem begged his forgiveness for all the heartaches she had caused him. He led her out to his woeful little tin wagon and they went larrupping through the streets, out into the cemetery. Mem's only rite of atonement was a glance of remorseful agony cast toward Elwood's resting place. It showed her that the founder of her fortunes was honored only by a wooden headboard already warped and sidelong. "One last favor," she numbled to Doctor Gwtherick. "Get a deed to stoneface for the poor boy and let me pay for it." "All right, honey," said the doctor. And the car jangled out of the Hiding under his high chin, Me heartaches she had caused him. gates again into the secular road. And that was that. At the supper table the younger children beset her with questions. Glady's was particularly curious and searching in her inquiries. Then came the hour of the theatrigoing. Nobody had dared to ask Doctor Steddon if he would accompany his family. He had not made up his own mind. He dared not. The family tacitly assumed that his conscience or his pride forbade him to appear in the sink in iniquity he had so often denounced. The family bade him good-bye and left him, but had hardly reached the gate when he came pounding after. He flung his arms about Mem's shoulders and cast off all his offices except that of a father, chuckling: "Where my daughter goes is good enough for me!" He made almost more of a sensation in the theatre than Mem. There was applause and cheering and even a slow and awkward rising to the feet until the whole packed auditorium was erect and clamorous. Seats of honer were reserved for the great star and the family that reflected her effulgence. As soon as they were seated the young woman who failed the piano began to batter the keys, and Mem's lature began to flow down the screen. She could feel at her elbow the rigid arm of her father undergoing martyrdom. She felt it wince as her first close-up began to glow, her huge eyes pleading to him in a glisten of superhuman tears. The arm relaxed as he surrendered to the wonder of her beauty. It tightened again when danger threatened her, and she could hear his sigh. She could escape the peril his gasp as she encountered another. He was like a child playing with his first toy, hearing his first fairy story. He was entranced. She heard him laugh with a boyishness she had never associated with him. She heard him blow his nose with a blast that might have shaken a wall in jejicho. A sneaking side glance showed her that his eyes were dripping. And when the applause broke out at the finish of the picture, she heard his great hands making the loudest thwacks of all. This was heartbreaking blies for her. The family rode home in state, the children and the mother loud in comment, the father silent. The old parson had to think it all out. Once at home, he sent the children up to bed and held Mam and her mother with his glittering sye for a long while before he delivered his sermon: "My beloved wife and daughter, I—ahem, ahunl I want to plead for the forgiveness of you both. I have been wrong headed and stiff necked as so often, but now I am humbled before you in spite of all my pride. It has just come over me that when God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light, he must have had in mind this glorious instrument for portraying the wonders of his handiwork. Our dear Redeemer used the parable for his divine lessons, and it has come to me that if he should walk the earth again today he would use the motion pictures. "You have built better than you know, perhaps, my child—and THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page now I ask you to pardon me for being ashamed of you when I should have been proud. You were using the gifts that Heaven sent you as Heaven meant you to use them. Your art is sacred and you can't, you won't, sully it in your life. God forgive me for my unbelief and send you happiness and goodness and a long, long usefulness in the path you have elected." That night Mem knelt again by her old bed and, on knees unaccustomed to prayer, implored strength to keep her gift like a chalice, a grail of holiness. She woke with DON RILEY m begged his forgiveness for all the an early-morning resolve to be the purest woman and the devoutest artist that ever lived. The next day she left the town with all its blessings, no longer a scapegoat, sin laden, limping into the wilderness, but a missionary, God-sped into the farthest lands of the earth. It seemed that all Calverly was at the station to wring her hand and waft her salutation. The conductor called, "All aboard!" and hasty farewells were taken in clenct of hand and awkward kiss. Mem ran to the rear platform and wore and waved lengthening signals of love to her dwindling family. She noted the absence of her sister Gladys and wondered at it as she went to her drawing-room. There she found the girl enclosed in fairy triumph, smiling like a pretty witch. "What on earth are you doing here?" Mam cried. "Going to Los Angeles with you. I may never be great like you, but I'm going to have a mighty good time trying." There were many questions to exchange and Mem soon learned that her sister had flung off the chains that one or two ardent lovers had tried to fasten about her. And when, with a last faltering reproach she asked her sister if she were wise to toss aside the devotion of a good man, Gladys laughed. "Let love wait! The men have kept us waiting for thousands of years, till they were ready. Now let them wait for us!" There was no gainsaying this. It had been Mem's own feeling when she left Los Angeles and her lovers there. Let love wait, then, till she had made the best of herself. And then let love not demand that she bow her head and shrieve in his shadow; but let him bloom his best along side. She wondered who that fellow of her destiny would be—Tom Holby, maybe—Austin Boas, or still another perhaps; or others, perhaps, including him! or them! In any case he (or they) had better behave and play fair! As for being a mother, let the wait, too. She was going to mother the multitudes and tell them stories to soothe them! There was far more in this dream than vanity, far more than selfishness. The hope of the world lay, therein, for the world can never advance farther than its women. She had a soul to sell and it was all her own, and she was going to market. The dawn was hers for conquest. Mankind was her lover and her beloved. That one-man passion called love could tarry until at least the late foreoon. The End Milady's Beauty Secrets By Helena Rubinstem Beauty is Nature's brag, must be shown In courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, Where most may wonder at its workmanship. When Human Interest in Beauty Culture Began In order to trace the very first interest manifested by women in the development of personal beauty, one would have to go back to the very beginning of time. From extensive research, I find that there was never a time when people were not interested in beauty culture, although the varying standards of the different ages must naturally have seemed ridiculous to each succeeding generation. The Atlantians in 2300 B. C. have handed down to later generations the earliest reputed records of the use of cosmetics. The Chinese civilization brought about a pursuit of beauty that amounted almost to a religion. One of the manifestations which persisted in later years in China was the custom of binding feminine feet in order to keep them tiny. This seems to us such a cruel practice and yet the Chinese women never practiced accepting this as a part of their routine. Form Formal Evening Fashion I NEW YORK: Social life is focused on life after dark. The剧院 are opening up with new plays, the hotels are becoming crowded with social functions and women are wearing their new evening clothes. Never before has the evening mode been so varied. It is a season of individuality in evening dress; there is no ordained style for evening—the style is, rather, a matter of the individual. Fabric, however, seems to veer toward the beautiful, exquisite transparent velvet, the La Loie Silvel of the French designers, has gained almost unprecedented popularity this season. It is being used in the most beautiful of evening gowns that are being worn in New York. Above are shown two smart versions of the device that were worn at a conference recently. SEND U Wdding D' US YOUR ding and Wedding and Visiting Cards The Planet, 311 N.4thSt., Richmond, Va. America, the pre-historic Indian, thought a misshapen skull the highest form of beauty. Skulls were actually deformed in infancy and despite the danger of such operations these Indians lived to a ripe old age. When some people today deplore the modern woman's intense interest in personal charm, they are ignoring the fact that this interest in beauty is an inheritance of woman which has been handed down to her for thousands and thousands of years. As for woman's right to be interested in beauty culture, I can only refer you to the Bible—to the "Songs of Solomon" dated 1014 B. C. "When Jehu was come to Jesreel, Jessebel heard of it, and she painted her face and tidied her hair and looked out of the window". Certainly modern woman can do no better than to follow the sage behaver of Jessebel. Hulina Rubrsteen nal Evening Wear Fashions La S YOUR OR and Visit Wear ns La Loie Silvel Pardon my back, but really no anology is necessary when it is so charmingly displayed. This beautiful evening gown is in the new fitted silhouette and lengthened skirt; it is made of a lovely tone of the durable transparent velvet. The other is a gorgeous evening wrap and is fashioned of parchment colored La Loe Silvel. The two large flowers of self material display the usual collar and the folds of the transparent velvet wrap fall from the shoulders into a cape effect. The popular colors for evening are nasturtium, off-white, yellows, pinks, blues and greens, so that there cannot be any excuse for not suiting your coloring to its best possible advantage. Evening bags and slippers are made in these shades and can be gotten to suit the coloring or contrast of the outfit for formal wear. ORDER FOR Visiting Ca Hints for the Home With the "indoor season" just ahead, many homes will find themselves considering the purchase of a brand new radio to replace one now out of date or—thrill of all thrills—it may be the first radio to come into the home! When setting forth to buy the great question is always, what type, what make, what design will prove best. A definite rule cannot possibly be laid down for guidance, for today there are many excellent radio sets on the market. Splendid tonal quality may be found in the products of several leading companies. Beauty in design is the general rule. Ease of operation has been the aim of all designers. Prices can be found to fit any purse. With this promising field to roam in there seems but one point which need concern us greatly, and that is—the strength and reliability of the company making the set. Regardless of preliminary good behavior, we want to know that our radio is sponsored by a concern whose policies have guided it safely through years of operation, so that we may rest assured our instrument will serve us reliably for a very long time. After all—buying a radio is not widely different from the purchase of a car or a sewing machine—two investments we would never think of making without the comfort of a good, reliable name to lean back upon. oie Silvel DER FOR ng Cards REVEN Eggs Piquant Slice five hard-boiled eggs, add 1 cupful cooked macaroni, 1/2 cup grated Switzerland cheese, 1/3 cups white sauce and seasoning of salt, onion juice, paprika and anchovy essence.
