BANK CASHIER IS HELD ON CHARGE OF EMBEZZLING Doors of Building Closed Because of Lack of Funds; Receiver Appointed. $30,000 Loss Rumored Cashier Returns From Vacation to Find Himself Placed Under Arrest. (Preston News Service) Elizabeth City, N. C., Jan. 7.—An audit of the financial condition of the Albemarle Bank which closed its doors on Christmas Eve through lack of funds to meet incoming checks, was being made Tuesday following appointment of P. H. Williams, president of the Savings Bank and Trust Company, as temporary receiver. Thus far, nothing definite has been disclosed as to the condition of the bank, or the extent to which depositors will be protected. Bank Examiner Visits. The appointment of Mr. Williams as receiver was made by Judge Henry A. Grady, presiding over the term of Superior Court now under way here after a survey of the situation by Clarence Latham, chief bank examiner for the state. As matters stand, a definite announcement as to the condition of the bank will await the outcome of the audit now being made by W. S. Coursey of the Frank A. Hill Company, certified public accountants of Charlotte. The State Banking Commission has taken charge of the bank's affairs. A final hearing on it is scheduled for Friday, January 8. Cashier Held. W. H. Holland, cashier of the bank, was arrested Thursday on a charge of embezzlement, and is held in jail in default of bond. The warrant for Holland's arrest was sworn out by W. S. Coursey of Charlotte, accountant, who began an audit of the bank's affairs Wednesday. Holland's arrest followed the discovery of a shortage of more than $10,000, according to P. H. Williams, temporary receiver of the Albemarle Bank. It is rumored that the shortage is in the neighborhood of $30,000, though hope is expressed that additional assets will be found in the course of the audit, and thereby the total of the shortage may be reduced. Holland returned from Evansville, Ind., having left for there the day the bank closed. His wife is said to be living in Evansville. "If I have done anything wrong, I'm willing to take my punishment," he is quoted as saying as he was being conducted to jail. The finding of a bank ledger and balance sheets bearing a number of accounts concealed in the bank vault, led to to the discovery of the shortage and to Holland's arrest, Mr. Coursey stated. Clarence Latham of Raleigh, chief bank examiner, was notified of the arrest and went to Elizabeth City immediately. Race Woman Appointed to Davis' Labor Staff (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Jan. 8. Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson, widow of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committeeman from Georgia, has been appointed to the staff of Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, and entered upon active duties January 2, 1926. The new appointee has had a splendid background of training and experience for the significant position to which she has been assigned. Mrs. Johnson will perform field work of an expert nature, having to do with immigration questions and the problems of Negro labor among the women and children of the United States. The St.Paul Echo Tucker Home Destroyed by Fire New Year's Day The home of Mr. and Mrs. U. B. Tucker, 520 6th Ave. No., Minneapolis, was completely gutted by a fire of an unknown source, New Year's Day about 11:30 A. M. Mr. Tucker was burned about the head, scorching his hair and ears, and Mrs. Tucker received severe burns about the back, while they lay asleep. The furniture, which is valued at about $2,500, according to Mr. Tucker, is a total loss, as it was not insured. The clothing which did not burn was damaged through water soaking. 18 MEN TOLL OF 1925 LYNCHINGS 18 MEN TOLL OF 1925 LYNCHINGS Mississippi Heads List of States With Six; Total Gain of Two Over 1924.

LEWIS-WHITNEY RITES SOLEMNIZED ON JAN. 5 On Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock, against a beautiful setting of Christmas evergreens and ferns and in the presence of relatives and a few very immediate friends, Mrs. Mamie Lewis of Minneapolis was married to Mr. Stafford Whitney of Chicago. The ceremony was performed at the home of the brides' aunt, Mrs. R. C. Lewis, 3808 Grand Boulevard, the Rev. Dr. Cook of Metropolitan Community Center officiating. The bride wore a lovely frock of Alice blue crepe and carried a shower bouquet. Her only attendant was her sister, Miss Eunice Smith, also of Minneapolis. The wedding was preceded by a six-course dinner at which covers were laid for twelve. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney are at home at 5158 Prairie Avenue. MRS. BISSEE, DAUGHTER OF ABOLITIONIST. DIES Mrs. Ellen Gillette Bisbee, 89 years old, of Minneapolis, in whose home the first abolition meetings were held, and whose father was a co-worker with William Lloyd Garrison, one of the originators of the anti-slavery movement, is dead in California. In Mrs. Bisbee's former home in Cortland, N. Y., William Gillette, her father, held meetings at which anti-slavery workers like John Brown, Horace Greeley and Wendell Phillips were present. Mrs. Bisbee had been a resident of Minneapolis for 26 years. MINNEAPOLIS NORTH SIDE OFFICE The St. Paul Echo maintains a branch office at The Economy Market, 810 6th Ave. No., Minneapolis.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1926 Navarro de Andrade, Brazilian Railway Official, Claims No Color Bar Exists in Industry of Republic. (By James N. Smith) Kind fortune in the form of one of the department heads in the College of Agriculture at the University of Minnesota having sent me the opportunity to get an interview, I asked Navarro de Andrade of Brazil slightly less than one million questions last week about business opportunity in the great republic to the south of us. Mr. de Andrade is a prominent railroad official and a forestry expert who travels constantly. In his capacity as Chief Forester for his company, Mr. de Andrade travels extensively through Brazil and the world, and has facts and figures at his tongue's end pertaining to business conditions through all Brazil. He says that a young man leaving this country with a few thousand dollars can go to Brazil and in a comparatively short time build up for himself a prosperous and paying business. Any one interested in farming may start in the transfer, garage, or commission house business, or any one of the numerous other enterprises in any one of Brazil's large and beautiful cities. Those seeking to wrest their fortune from the soil will find opportunities nowhere in this world or the next greater than those offered on Brazil's countless millions of fertile acres, according to Mr. de Andrade. Farming Profitable. Rubber trees can be expected to begin producing from four to five years after being planted. Any farm purchased containing coconut trees brings a crop almost immediately, in connection with which about 500 or 600 head of cattle can graze each year on grass on the average sized farm. Cocoa, babassu oil nuts, and oil bearing plants can be relied on to bring a handsome income each year. The gentleman being interviewed had the appearance of a typical Portuguese but boasted of the fact that he was born and reared in the state of Sao Paulo. When asked about race conditions in Brazil he didn't appear to understand what I meant until I referred to my color as compared to his. No Race Feeling. He then smilingly said, "There is absolutely no difference in my country on account of color. Down there you are a Brazilian citizen and are not measured by color." Brazil has many races within her borders and all of whom mingle without question in business, church, social and fraternal circles. The population is 36,000,000 people, of whom about 95 per cent are (Continued on page 2) SWEET RE-TRIAL NOW POSTPONED Dr. and Mrs. Sweet, Walter White Make Lecture Tour for Legal Defense Fund. (N. A.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. B. Burton. Rev. Carr states that he was specifically directed by the Lord in both the question of his marriage and the choice of his companion. Watermelons are now raised in every state in the Union except Maine and New Hampshire. Visits At Minneapolis Shops Show Negro Enterprisers Busy WOMAN STEALS 20 DRESSES IN DAY; ARRESTED (Preston News Service) Columbus, O., Jan. 7.—Edith Ridley of Detroit, Mich., shoplitter, was sentenced to an indefinite term in the state reformatory at Marysville, by Judge Robert P. Duncan in the Franklin county criminal court, Wednesday afternoon. The woman was arrested July 15, at Gay and High streets, and an inspection of her suit case showed that she had stolen 20 dresses and suits valued at more than $800, in one day. Of this property, a jacket suit and dress valued at $68. had been stolen from the Fashion, three dresses and a suit valued at $195. had been stolen from the Dunn, Taft Co., four dresses valued at $143.30, from the F. & R. Lazarus Co., a dress and suit valued at $114.50 from the Frederick Co., and five dresses valued at $208.50 from the Bradford Husch Co. MRS. DYER HURT Mrs. Blanche Dyer, wife of Walter R. Dyer, St. Paul postal clerk, tripped and fell down the second floor steps at their residence, $3900 5th Ave. So., Minneapolis, Saturday, January 2, about 9 A. M., and was severely bruised and shaken up. The family doctor was summoned and pronounced no bones broken. -Mrs. Dyer was confined to her bed for several days, but is now up and feeling much improved. Smoking Accessories, Oriental Luncheon Atmosphere, Reasonable Market Prices, Beautiful Art Gallery Found. Calling at a few of Minneapolis' colored shops, proves an interesting trip to anyone who is interested in the progress of the race in business, as a representative of The Echo staff found last week. The Stewart Smoke Shop, 248 3rd Ave. So., New Year's Day was found to be a unique place. The shop carries a large and varied stock of cigars, cigarettes, tobacco and candy, that is "jest ezzackly what men need." At the new National Cafe, 716 6th Ave. No., all hands were busy. This place is entirely different from any other Negro business that has been opened heretofore. Oriental Rooms. The interior decoration of the upstairs was done by Robert Ranson, Negro decorator, who has plainly shown his skill in the hand painting of the oriental designs. A visit to this cafe will cause one's mind to drift to the orient. A short visit with Mr. Woodard of the Economy Market, 810 6th Ave. "They will never build a New St. James," said the cynic. "It will never be completed," he added after the work began. But "can't be done" is never true until all factors are properly estimated and utilized. The cynic stood alone, except for the multiplication of his own feeble self. Able Executives. To the hopeful officers and members of St. James must be added the vision of such superior supervisors and inspirationalists as Bishops Coppin, Carey and Gaines; such able superintendents as Presiding Elders Stovall and Hackley; pastors of such uncommon business training as Drs. James Henderson, J. C. Anderson and H. L. P. Jones, to all of whose good qualities are added irresistible personality, insistence and persistence in Dr. W. H. Griffin. HAYES APPEARS A HOMECOMING HAYES APPEARS A HOMECOMING First Recital of Tenor in Home State Draws Mixed Audience of 5,000. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 8.—Roland Hayes' homecoming—a concert here December 18, his first appearance in his native state—was one of the greatest triumphs of his remarkable career. The vast auditorium where the annual Grand Opera season is staged was crowded with an audience of five thousand, the two races being represented in nearly equal numbers. The singer gave a remarkable program, leading off with a number of the great classics and closing with a group of Negro spirituals. The universal verdict was that the event was a triumph of the highest order. The public and the musical critics alike were most enthusiastic in praise of both the singer's voice and the perfection of his art. The accompaniment by William Lawrence also received the highest praise. Many of Atlanta's most prominent music lovers were sponsors of the concert, including the head of the biggest bank, the editors of two of the great daily papers, a well known millionaire, and many others—both men and women. The colored section of the audience, filling half the vast arena, was equally representative. COLORED VOTERS' LEAGUE TO HOLD MEETING The Colored Voters' League, organized two years ago for political activities, has called a public meeting to be held at the Memorial Baptist Church, Rice and Fuller St. Thursday evening, January 14, 1926, for the purpose of electing officers and to stimulate an interest in the coming campaign which promises to be unusually interesting. The present officers are Mr. Geo. C. Shannon, Pres.; Atty. R. C. Crump, Vice-Pres.; Wm. Cannon, Treasurer; Atty. O. J. Smith, Secretary, and Geo. D. Howard, Asst. Secretary. Mr. Crump is now practicing in Illinois. The public is invited. Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church will address the meeting. (Preston News Service) New York, Jan. 8.—Upon information received from Belhaven, N.C. James Robert Percy, thirty-four, was arrested early Thursday at his home, 306 West 127th street. He is charged with suspicion of the murder of James Jordan, at Belhaven, on the night of March 12, 1918. No, found him busy waiting on customers who had neglected ordering all of the necessities for their New Year's dinners. The Economy Market is sanitary in every detail and fully equipped. The Echo has authorized Mrs. Bina Cabbell of the Economy Market to solicit business in Minneapolis and the paper will appreciate the co-operation of the public in assisting her. Last, but not least the photographer, "That Man Smith," 633 6th Ave. No. Although Mr. Smith was not in, his assistant was right on the job. At his place are many sights and scenes and faces that are dreams. From all indications, many folks know his location. A look at the pictures of pretty girls around the walls convinced us that the Twin Cities are ripe for a beauty contest. SUSPECT HELD HEAR Bishop A. L.

But all factors are properly estimat- for the multiplication of his own executives. members of St. James must be supervisors and inspirationalists maines; such able superintendents Hackley; pastors of such uncom- mames Henderson, J. C. Anderson lose good qualities are added irred persistence in Dr. W. H. Griffin. That is not all. To all of that array of talent on the side of the church there is yet to be added the unseen, insuperable power of consecration, prayer and a God who is a Father. **Gaines to Officiate.** The cynic said, "it couldn't be done." The facts are that Sunday, January 17, 1926, the New St. James A. M. E. Church is to be dedicated and opened for use. Presiding Bishop A. L. Gaines, assisted by visiting bishops, will perform the ceremony. Among the guests upon that occasion will be general officers of the connection as well as pastors and laymen high up in the affairs of the denomination. The week following will be known as Dedication Week, at which time one drinking fountain will be dedicated to the memory of Margaret Adams, who raised over ten dollars for a new church while she was sick, and knew death was near. Another fountain is to be dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Lola Anderson, who gave bountifully of her prayers, labor and money in every rally while she lived, and who, when she saw her end was imminent, willed a neat sum to the New St. James. Sometime during the week a tablet will be unveiled upon which will be inscribed the names of the trustees who have withstood almost every rebuff and insult, to carry forward their ideal—a New St. James. A rededication of a tablet in memory of the founders, and the dedication of one in memory of the bishops and pastors who have done their part in the work will be a part of the week's work. Every night of Dedication Week there will be well planned and interesting programs in which the best local talent will be assisted by prominent visitors. Monday night, January 18, will be Church Night and reception to the Bishops. Following that occasion there will be programs sponsored by the Fraternal Societies, the Women's Clubs, the Railroad Men, the Young People, and Minneapolis. Other groups are being considered also. It should be borne in mind that in one year, four months and three days from the time he received his appointment, Rev. Griffin has accomplished the impossible by completing the first unit of the New St. James, besides caring for his other pastoral duties in a highly commendable manner. The new structure, convenient and commendous as it is, will do much to forward the economic, social and religious welfare of the community. Rev. Griffin and St. James congregation deserve public commendation. QUARTERLY MEETING IN MINNEAPOLIS St. James A. M. E. church, 314 15th Ave. So., Minneapolis, Minn. Second quarterly meeting Sunday, January 10, 1926. Three big services. Presiding Elder Rev. A. W. Hackley, D. D., will have full charge and will preach morning and evening. Rev. H. C. Claybrook will preach the communion sermon at 3 o'clock. All the A. M. E. ministers of the Twin Cities will be present with their members to assist in making this a great meeting financially as well as spiritually. The pastor, officers and members thank all in advance for co-operation in this quarterly meeting. Thos. B. Stovall, pastor. The Echo is making arrangements with Minneapolis churches to distribute the papers in suitable places for those who are not subscribers.

Telephoned comments from one disgruntled person to the next will never stop the practice. Nothing but some sort of concerted action will have any influence upon the policy of the papers in question. An opportunity is here presented for some of the wom- en’s clubs of the city to extend even further the sphere of their activity. Small protest delegations from some of the clubs should have some weight with the officials of the papers. That failing, there is always the the avenue of withdrawing subscription to further a point of policy. If any considerable body of colored subscribers should cancel their subscriptions, after hav- ing notified the respective papers why they were doing so, a modi- fication of the use of objectionable terms, and the obnoxious man- ner of writing certain types of stories dealing with Negroes would immediately result. « For a long time the policy of the daily papers has been a thorn in the side of colored St. Paulites. It often pricks aggravat- ingly, but it will prick only until you exercise your right and your duty to remove it. A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE It is a natural condition that the things which are closest to people are the things to which they will give most attention and thought. To the average colored American, the “race problem” is one of the things that is indeed very close—so close as to be inescapable. ~~ Defined in terms of our general group thought, this race prob- lem would, in the majority of cases, concern itself exclusively with the situations that confront the American Negro in his relation to his fellow white citizen. So harshly intimate with all of us has been this factor of racial friction in America that we are wont and naturally so—to have it color our whole thought and blind us| to broader phases of a similar world problem. We all have our platitudinous sayings about world race ques- tions, of course. “There is certainly bad feeling between the Eu- ropean nations,” we say. “The general European policy of exploit= ing its dark colonies is deplorable,” we may continue. “Japan and China mean the United States no good,” is another favorite. And then we usually sum up with either the assumption that because the darker races of the world are predominant in number they will eventually absorb the whites, or that, as Lothrop Stoddard has admirably phrased it, there will be a “rising tide of color” which will sweep furiously up and over all white opposition in a violent and successful attempt at conquest. How many of us know or care that England is at close grips with an even greater race problem than is the United States? Greater because her colonies are racially intact and demand a large pereentage of self government? That the feeling between the French as a group and the Germans as a group is as intensely bitter as any that exists in this country? That the continued dis- criminatory legislative policy the United States has exercised upon the immigration of Asiatics has caused similar retaliatory meas- ures in those countries, and growing and lasting ill will on the part of their citizens who are visiting or studying in America? That this list of racial dislikes which in some cases mounts to magnifi- cent hate could be enlarged and expanded indefinitely, so that our own problem would assume a very small place in the whole? ‘Those things we are prone to overlook or highly minimize in the light of the situation that we have close by us. It is well to cultivate the universal method of thinking about the race prob- lem. Our own difficulty is here. That is painfully true. But if we make a more conscious effort to view race as a world question, we may, in our striving for greater fairness, help better relations in our country, and we will certainly correct the fault of believing that the American Negro problem is the most vital race issue of the time. “NEW ST.

Nes The completion of the first part of the structure for the new St. James A. M. E, chureh is an achievement that is worthy of favorable comment from the whole community. It indicates clear- ly a growth of the co-operative spirit and the development of a community ideal. Building churches, there is no denying, is a hard task at best. ‘The intangible moral hold that is the only connection between a churehgoer and the chureh of his faith is sometimes a weak argu- ment in favor of his giving more than the usual weekly sum to the church cause: Not so in this particular case, however. Nearly every mem- ber of the church that one meets states, upon questioning, that he has given his time and money to the new church project until the giving has inconvenienced him. If questioned further, he will in- variably say that he is perfectly willing to keep on doing the same thing until the goal at which the congregation has aimed is achieved. . The work of finishing a portion of the church for occupancy in as comparatively a short time as has been done could never have been done without far-sighted and business-like leadership. The officers of St. James who have handled the actual contracting for the work are to be commended. The executive head, the minister, has been multiple in person. For the last three administrations, work in some form has been progressing. Under the present head, a prodigious amount of achievement can be noted. With the others who have made the venture a success, he should have high praise. Chief of all, the faithful congregation should be congratulated for having pointed the way with new St. James to a fuller and more beneficial com- munity life. os Cipom bechreracai de eh AMA od ID WOME a REE BRIN its first birthday party in the spacious parlors of Pioneer Hall on New Year's Eve.

Hubbard turned in countless stellar performances. His specialties were the running broad jump and high hurdles. Later he quit the barrier event for the "hundred." Most of his fame was gained as a broad jumper, however. As a freshman he sprang into the limelight through his leaping ability. He cleared over 24 feet indoors on one of his first efforts as a collegian. Outdoors he topped the 25-foot figure. For three years as a varsity performer, Hubbard endeavored to smash the broad jump mark. He cleared 25 feet more times than any other athlete in history.

Time and again his jumps were not allowed, owing to fouls of that nature. Hubbard participated in his final meet as a college athlete in the national collegiates at Chicago last summer. And after many unsuccessful attempts, it appeared that Legendre's record-breaking mark of 25 feet, 6 15-16 inches, made in the 1924 Olympics, would not be shattered while Hubbard was in school. But the ebony-hued star wound up his collegiate career like a fiction hero. For on his very last jump as a Michigan athlete he hung up a new record, leaping 25 feet, 10% inches.

Heinz ter 4 In the SPOT LIGHT By Johnny Walton FLOWERS-MALONE BOUT In bringing Dave Shade into the limelight as an opponent for Tiger Flowers before his proposed bout with Harry Greb, the New York boxing commission has caused quite a mix-up. The public had generally agreed on the "Tiger" as the most logical foe of the middleweight champion and many are willing to lay their salted pennies on his chances, but if he is compelled to meet Shade first it seems a rather risky proposition as to the outcome, as it might be recalled that this Shade person pulled an awful job and upset the dope of the "wise acres" when he stopped Jimmy Slatter a few months ago, which goes to show that Shade is a dangerous man. We will have a chance to compare these men when Shade meets Jock Malone at the Auditorium Friday night, January 15, in a ten-round go. At the same time we will be picturing in our minds while witnessing the bout as best we can how foolish Flowers made Jock look in their mix-up here in December. BISHOP LAUDS SUNDAY ATHLETICS IN SPEECH (From St. Paul Daily News) By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent. New York, Dec. 31.—Sports as an aid to proper proper spiritual development were advanced Wednesday by Bishop William T. Manning of the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York, speaking before the National Collegiate Athletic federation meeting here. Bishop Manning defended Sunday sports when not commercialized and said he saw no wrong in a Sunday game of golf or tennis. "Sports are just as important as prayer in the development of character," the bishop told his hearers. "A polo game, football game, or any other good game well played is just as pleasing to God as a beautiful cathedral service," Bishop Manning added. "It is a mistaken idea that religion is against sports and that some should play and others should pray," the bishop said. "I see nothing wrong in a Sunday game of gold or tennis, but do object to commercialized Sunday sport, because it forces the athlete to work on Sunday. But good sport has its place on any day of the week. "Sports are more than a preventive of evil.

New York—There is at least one man in New York city to whom the saying "variety is the spice of life" is more than a mere phrase. Furthermore, he obtains all of his variety within the confines of the city. For present purposes it serves to dub him Mr. Trotter. After a youth of roaming from one corner of the world to another, circumstances compelled Mr. Trotter to stay constantly in New York. Such a restriction on a born roamer naturally proved irksome. In his own words, Mr. Trotter was "about to bust" when an inspiration came to him that solved his problem. Mr. Trotter, it should be explained at the outset, is of a whimsical inquiring nature and his wanderings were marked more by amused curiosity than high adventuring in the manner of soldiers of fortune. He sauntered rather than strode during his travels and in his quiet way managed to penetrate the local life wherever he went—ignoring and showing his disgust of the alien colonies of his countrymen. With such a background of activity, he naturally began to chafe when he was confined to a single place—even when it is as big as New York. Life ordered itself into an inexorable routine and sameness; there was plenty to do but it was essentially alike no matter how much the scene might change from day to day. Twitted by Friends. "I was fast becoming a boor," explained Mr. Trotter the other day. "My friends twitted me about being a rolling stone who would eventually find settling down superior to wandering about. And they always wound up sooner or later with that bromide that, after all, variety is the spice of life. Right now I am glad they did because it finally led to my inspiration. "I am not a man of great means but I am fixed so that I needn't worry. I had been living in a comfortable hotel, where there was nothing to be desired from the point of view of service or surroundings. But it took me just about a month to exhaust all of the observations that there were to be made about the place. I penetrated all of the surface life there and a great many of undercurrents, at least all that were interesting to me. It was like reading one book repeatedly and not a very exciting or deep book. "One night a friend called on me to chide me for not going about more with the gang. Gadding, he called it. I told this friend in as kindly a manner as possible that the activities that were offered thus bored me. He finally said that I was incorrigible and then ended up with the same old bromide—well, after all, variety is the spice of life. "After he had gone I got my hat and stick and went for a walk. Trampling the streets at night soon filled me with what the French call the home-sickness for elsewhere. I felt a nostalgia for my hotel. I didn't want to go back to it that night but tried to persuade myself that I should reconcile myself to my fate. I wandered farther than I thought and suddenly found myself very tired. My hotel is in the Seventies and I was away below Fourteenth street. There was no taxi in sight or I would probably have gone home. Instead I espied a faint sign in the deserted street which said Hotel. I remembered that this particular house had been quite famous in its day before New York moved uptown. I knew also that it clung to its traditions and that it was perfectly clean. On the spur of the moment I went in, paid for my room and spent the night there. Idea Is Born. "The next morning when I woke up I was bewildered about my surroundings, but at the same time it spurred my old inclination for inquiry. I was curious about everything; the people in the lobby were different from my daily associates. I tried to figure them out. Thus the idea was born. "Purposely prowling for variety is not my way. It smacks too much of the tourist and superficial. My solution was simply this: I hunted up residences in various parts of the city in which I could gratify my moods and my curiosity about the lives and ways of places and people. The very rich have homes in town, on Long Island, in the Far West, in Palm Beach and elsewhere. Why not apply the same principle to New York city? I have, and I have found it one of the most interesting adventures of my long career. I needed my hotel address for business and social reasons. Accordingly I maintained my quarters there and kept most of my things there, but I now have four other places in different sections of New York to which I can go at any time that the mood strikes me. "It gives me a whimsical amusement to start a day and never know in which one of my residences I will spend the night. And in each section I have a different circle of friends or acquaintances. Somehow none of them have ever crossed each other's paths, disproving that other saying 'the world is small after all,' while at the same time it proves that variety is the spice of life—if you live it."
