His wife, too, who had been sewing in her favorite chair behind the counter, looked sad and depressed. The man glanced around the little place affectionately. He looked at the shelves of canned goods, the boxes and barrels of cereals and produce, the brooms and rakes piled in one corner and the mops and pails arranged neatly in another. Most people would have been greatly pleased at the sight, because Julian Arceneaux had a very well supplied store. But Julian was sad because he knew that the store wouldn't be his very long. Only a few minutes before he had received a representative of the wholesale company from whom he purchased his goods, and the news he had gotten from that gentleman was very, very bad. Unless Julian Arceneaux paid the company in full inside of a month, the company was to take back all of his stock and get out a judgment against him for the rest of the money he owed it. Poor old gray-haired Julian Arceneaux! For years he had worked hard in this little store building up a business. Up until recently he had been quite successful. He had a beautiful little home nestling in the midst of a grove of very old trees and he had been able to send his daughter, Rose, through the Catholic school, from which she had only recently graduated. Through all of these years his wife, Catherine, Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing Foreign Advertising Representatives: W. B. Zif Co. 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, III. Drawn by John Garth. By Caroline Stanwix had dutifully toiled along with him, helping to lay away enough for their old age. They had begun to feel that they were going to be very successful in doing this. Then came the migration of Negroes from that section. The boll weevil was playing havoc with the crops and because of this a large number of their colored friends and customers had left the surrounding country to go to New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Birmingham, St. Louis and Chicago. Naturally the sales at the store fell off. Then, to make it worse, came the great flood. Being situated very close to the Mississippi and one of its bayous, Plaquemine and the district around it did not escape. The Negroes' crops were (Continued on Page 8) Everybody can have beautiful hair now!

"Oh, it just cannot be true," she cried aloud. "He's too fine and manly for that; too much of a gentleman; too chivalrous." "Well," her aunt said, with a smug air of suspicion gratified, "I wouldn't put it past him. Any time you find a man wearing good clothes, spending lots of money, staying up there at a fashionable place like Mrs. Carter's, sporting an expensive car and not working either, you can bet there's something needs investigating." In her heart Rose had to admit that there was some truth in her aunt's words. Next afternoon when she saw Henry, she did not avoid him, as many girls would have done, but allowed him to take her home. When they arrived in front of the house she said, "Now Henry, come in, please, I want to talk to you." He assented but looked at her rather queerly. When they were sitting in the parlor, she began: "Henry, I hate to do this, but I have to ask you not to call or to seek my company any more, unless you can disprove the things that are being said about you. You know I cannot afford to keep company with a man whom the whole town is saying is a gambler and a fugitive from the law. It would ruin my reputation." Henry listened to her gravely and reflectively. He wondered how the news of his occupation had got around so quickly. And he wondered how people had learned that he left Natchez on account of the activities of the police But no matter what people said or what his past had been, he wanted this girl more than anyone he had ever met. If he could win her, he intended to settle down and make a man of himself, investing the large sum of money he had in some business proposition. "Rose," he began evasively because he could not bring himself to tell her the truth, "I love you. I have told you that any number of times and I guess you know that I mean it. Now, I believe you think a lot of me, don't you?" The girl flushed profusely and the tears welled up into her eyes. "Yes, Henry, I do," she admitted, bending closer to him, and yet trying to steel herself against the sweep of her affections. "And that is the reason," she continued, "that I cannot stand this scandalous talk about you. If it is true, tell me like a man and let us part friends. If it is untrue, then I can face the world courageously and frankly because I have never loved anyone as I do you." Henry hesitated and then, sparring for time, said, "Now, Rose, there are some things that we cannot divulge at certain times. My business is one of them. If people knew what I was actually doing here it might injure my plans. In less than 48 hours I can tell you everything. Trust me, dearest." Henry hated himself for this deception which Rose seemed to take in so easily. But, then, what was a man to do when he was in love with a girl and she had just admitted being in love with him, and when telling on himself would lose her to him forever? That was the decision Henry had to make, and he decided to hold the girl as long as possible. A Business Proposition Rose's trust in Henry was not shaken by his evasiveness. She believed in good faith that he was engaged in some serious and important undertaking that required secrecy. The girl was willing to wait the 48 hours because she loved him and wanted him, and was willing to give him every chance. But Henry hadn't the slightest idea how he was going to get out of his difficulty. Disconsolately he drove around town and then stopped hours later in front of Clayborne's Eureka Barber Shop. Big, Jolly Jeff Clayborne was sitting back in his little cubbyhole office, bent over his books. He was far from jolly today. A big, stout, brownskin fellow, he was usually smiling and had everyone laughing; but not today. Henry strolled through the shop to Jeff's office. (Continued on next page) From the Editor's Desk RESPONSIBILITY THE whole publishing business is erected on a foundation of responsibility. Publisher, printer, writer and advertiser—each is responsible to the others. The publisher is responsible to his readers for giving them interesting reading matter; to the advertisers for giving them good positions for their advertisements. The printer is responsible to the publisher for a good job of printing, while the writer furnishes the material you read, and the publisher furnishes him with a vehicle of expression. But most responsible of all are the advertisers. They make a great outlay of money to present their wares to the buying public. If the public is pleased, sales will increase; if not, sales will decrease and the advertisers will lose money. Now, nobody likes to lose money, and modern business is not a gamble. No business man can afford to tell a falsehood about what he is selling, because it is bound to be found out sooner or later. When it is discovered, as it will be discovered in time, sales will certainly decrease and the business man will lose much money. Consequently the great majority of those who advertise their wares in this and other publications keep ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION away from falsehood and exaggeration. They know, from bitter experience and long study, that it pays to tell the truth in advertising as in everything else. They realize that they cannot make money otherwise, and they are not in business for their health. The advertisers, in a very large sense, are the most responsible, after all, in the publishing game. The printer, the publisher and the writer may make an error or an exaggeration, and make good for it in the next issue. But once the advertiser gets "in bad" with the reading (and buying) public, he is pretty well done for. So you can nearly always trust the advertiser. What he says about the wares he advertises is true. His responsibility is too great for him to risk a lie. He has confidence in the worth of his goods, which is the reason why he advertises them. And if he has confidence in them to the extent that he will spend hundreds and thousands of dollars advertising them, then THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD HESITATE TO BUY WHAT HE ADVERTISES.

Jeff looked up without losing his worried look, and blurted out, "Rotten, Manning." "Tm in an awful hole right in through here. That new house of mine that we were just finishing out on Raymond Avenue, took fire last night (I don't know how), and burned right down to ground. Every cent I had was sunk into it." "Did you have it insured?" Manning asked. "No, that's the devil of it. I was waiting until it was finished. Now I don't know what I'm going to do." "Can't you get a mortgage on this place?" "Well, the fact is," Clayborne confessed, "I don't own this place, I only rent it. If I knew where I could borrow a couple of thousand dollars, I would be willing to pay as high as 10 per cent. But I can't very well ask any of my friends because I don't want it to get out that I am fixed so bad." Suddenly a thought came to Henry that filled him with more glee and satisfaction than he had ever experienced. Turning to Jeff, he said excitedly, "Listen, Boy, how much is this business worth now?" "Oh, about $3,000 would cover all of my equipment, but I figure my name and reputation, after 20 years of business, amounts to at least a thousand more. Why?" "Well," said Manning, "here's my proposition: "I'll give you $2,000 right now if you will sell me a half interest in your business and put my name on that sign out there as junior partner. What do you say?" "By George!" Jeff exploded, "that would solve the whole problem. I'd appreciate it awfully much, old chap. Can you really spare that much?" "Huh!" Henry exclaimed, "you don't realize that I pulled out of Natchez with $5,000, do you? And I've got all but $500 of it right here!" Saying which, he pulled up his shirt, revealing his money belt, and counted out twenty $100 bills. "Wait a minute!" Jeff shouted excitedly. "I'll call up Lawyer Atwell." citedly. 'I'll call up Lawyer Atwell. Suiting action to words he got the genial old legal expert on the telephone and arranged to have him come over at once. "Hello boys!" said the venerable old dark gentleman, whose silvery white hair betokened years of pleading before the bar, "what you fellows got up your sleeve now?" Clayborne explained, after which the lawyer drew up the necessary papers. The money changed hands and Clayborne and Manning went their ways, each rejoicing. Rose Consents Next day about noon, Jim Sloan was busy lettering the window of Clayborne and Manning's barber shop. The good colored citizenry was surprised, indeed, shocked. Here they had been maligning this fellow Manning and now it was discovered that he was one of their biggest business men. Clayborne, on the suggestion of Manning, had spread the news all over town that Manning had really been his partner all of the time, but that the fact was just being made public. A face powder today must do more than merely remove "shine" from the skin. It must go on smoothly and cling for hours; it must give a soft, fine texture to the complexion, and lend an appealing daintiness to the person. In other words, it must be fluffy, light and fragrant. Rose was surprised and gratified when she heard the news from the llps of Henry that evening. "Darling," he begged, "will you marry me now?" Black and White Face Powder, besides being the ideal combination of these qualities, is so artistically tinted that it blends perfectly with the complexion, enhances natural beauty, and conceals imperfections without looking artificial. Try it! They were sitting in the parlor with only candles throwing fitful rays over the red plush furniture, and shadows playing in the corners. Ever so often a cloud would unmask the face of the little moon and let his rays illuminate the room. BLACK AND WHITE Face Powder 25¢ 50¢ A gentle breeze off the Mississippi River lazily wafted the lace curtains, while the smell of the pine woods pervaded the room. Nestling closer, her wavy black hair touching his cheek, Rose curled her soft, plump arm about Henry's neck and whispered low and sweet, "Yes, darling." To these two young people it seemed that the millennium had come, for their happiness was exquisite. Rose had found her ideal and Henry had found his. Her mother and father back in Plaquemine were happy because not 48 hours later they were greeted by the happy bride and groom who left them wonderingly with all their debts wined away. And the-old Mississippi River, in all of his majesty, rolled on. 0 AWE 0 \0(s Gre oe d ee a ( | SES ti © GOO on Cy emaee ef 7 SA NER SKIN O “tS S eautif eX Po However gifted you may be with “make up”, ™ don’t try to cover upa dark, rough, broken-out skin. _ Use Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap and : clear away those imperfections. : ¢ This combination treatment quickly banishes pim- ples and other blemishes, tones and brightens the skin se Areas and gives you a smooth, youthful complexion which “make-up” will enhance and beautify.

It is supper table taik im the mod- est homes of stevedores and past- offtce clerks as well as dressingroom eessip on the Rialto. Linked with Miss Hall's /name in ‘the flood of gossip is a feverish dis- cussion of her “Diga Dign Do" dance, am act which has even made biase ‘Broadway sit up and take notice. ‘On Broadway the dance is dis- cussed as a matter of art. In Harlem it is discussed both as @,matter of art and a matter of taorais. Broadway—the professional ele- ment of Broadway—wauts to know if the dance is artistic Or is it just another gyp act—a stent to lure the pruriant minded to the box office in hopes of seeing Something suggestive or smutty? ‘Theatrical Harlem discusses the question from the same point of ‘view, But domestic Harlem treats the @uestion as a moral issue. ‘The young matrons who take their tots out for an airing in St. Nicholas Park on sunny mornings are not in- terested in art. With them it's a-question whether ‘the dance tends to cheapen race womanhood. Tt does mot matter whether the dance is discussed from an artistic or moral ‘point of view. ‘verywhere gossip is equally vociferous. ‘The deluge of gossip started when Miss Hall's mother, a simple minded woman from the South, attempted to prevent her daughter from ap- pearing tn the number. Mrs. Hall had heard of her daugh- ter’s fame and with the natural pride of a parent she wanted to see her suecess with her own eyes. Gne can easily imagine the mental Adelaide Hall anda group of comely chorines in the Watermelon Scene from | “Blackbirds of 1928" ‘picture this Kindty woman drew of her daughter as a great actress. In her mind's eye she probably saw her daughter locking very much as Sarah Bernhardt appeared, an imperious woman dressed in rich but modest finery. Imagine her surprise when she saw Adelaide appear on the stage wear- ing only a pair of slippers and a few spangies! No skirt. No bodice. No stockings. Just the sitppers te protect her dainty feet from splinters and the spangies to dazzie the eye. Mrs. Hall's puritan ideas were shocked. More than that Her pouritan indignation was roused and, figuratively speaking, she went on the warpath. Before the next evening’s perform- ance Mrs. Hall accompanied Ade- laide to her dressing room with the intention of tnducing the manage- ment to alter the act. Just what happened behind the scenes in the theater is obscured in a welter of conflicting stories. Some say she tried to persuade the manager to eliminate the dance or at least permit Adelaide to appear in _a more modest costume, When persuasion failed, it is said, Mrs. Hall resorted to force. At any rate, Adelaide did not ap- pear in the dance that night. Ruth Johnson, a member of the chorus, was rushed in to substitute for her. ‘Then the talk began. But not before the parties con- cerned had patched up a truce of some sort. The next evening Adelaide ap- peared in the same dance, dressed— ‘or undressed—in the same scant cos- tume. Just what kind of understanding was reached is not definitely known. Perhaps it will always remain a mystery. All parties concerned seem to be unwilling to talk, although Lew Les- lie, the producer, gave out a brief statement to the press. “The whole thing is ridiculous,” 9 TLLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION ee Oe gS oe cae ie te FE as ia Ne Se ee ee Poe er : ee es. ye ee ae eb Bale) eg as ee Ce Rei ee eee ~ leah Alec are = ee Ra pos | bee ek es Fi a i Pia = Re 3 hes i a : H So ae i oe oe 4 eer pe acy + : Ake i 7. ‘ : ea : eo : oS ee eee : 7 Be is Mees A : ¥ ae ay ees emg i a 3 ice es P a : oe fa a a 2 a | os a a ey 2 | : * % 0 Se ee a Be Lo 2 a ae be a Pe Bae — ean b, | aoe SS es te am ~~ eee bc eas ae ts foe rs : ie ad es es ADELAIDE HALL local newspaper quotes Mr. Leslie. “Until Mrs. Hall came to see her daughter on the stage for the first time there was no word of criticism from anybody regarding any in- decency in the ‘Diga Diga Do’ num- ber. It is a simple dance, if erotic, but done with grace and fineness. The reason Mrs. Hall forced her daughter to stay out of the number on Wednesday evening is because she is a very plous woman and does not go to the theater at all. There- fore what appears shocking to her is in reality nothing out of the ordi- nary. “If Mrs. Hall wants to watch her @aughter dance at every perform- ance it fs all right with me,” Mr. Leslie concluded. “If, however, she interferes again and forces her to remain out of any mumbers in ‘Blackbirds,’ I will have her forcibly ejected from my thea- ter.” Mr. Leslie declined to make any further comment on the incident. But where he left off talking ts fust where the public began. And ‘they're still at it, Another sequel to the incident was a tremendous increase of business at fhe box office. Not long before Mrs, Halt’s stren- uous objection to Adélaide’s dance, the show was doing just so-so. Recentty the box office reported a peak business of $24,000 for a week. In reply to Mrs. Hall's indignant “Stop it!” Broadway shouts “On with the dance!"—and says it with bucks. The dance goes on. So does the gossip—an endless stream of it. ‘What is perhaps the most tnter- esting sidelight on the affair is that furnished by the “In-the-bag” boys and girls, According to their version the af- fair was a press stunt. To prove their claims they point to the assertions of certain members of the cast who say a swarm of re- porters invaded the dressing rooms immediately after Adelaide failed to appear in the dance. The “in-the-bag” folks always get the inside dope on everything. ‘The “Blackbirds of 1928,” in which she-is co-starred with Aida Ward and Bill Robinson, is Miss Hall's first appearance as a star on Broadway. She is a conscientious worker, who in fess than six yéars has worked her way up from the chorus. Prior to being engaged by Mr. Leslie, who has an uncanny faculty for sensing undiscovered talént, she worked in various revues produced by Rector and Cooper and Irvin C. Miller, A Recently she toured Germany in & company called the “Chocolate Kiddies.” In private life she is the wife of @ non-professional man. The union is said to be ideal She appears to be blissfully indif- ferent to the flood of gossip which is surging about her. Her attitude seems to be ex- pressed in the children’s rhyme, which goes: Sticks and stones may break my bones Bat names will never hurt me. In the meantime Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, her mother, continues to feel indignant—they say. Adelaide continues to dance, the gossips continue to talk and Lew Leslie continues to smile. He has ample reason for his good humor. Broadway is flocking to the “Blackbirds” as never before. The show ts moving to a larger theater next week-and it is sold out three months in advance.

BOOKS FOR OUR KIDDIES GIRLS IN AFRICA. By Erick Berry. The MacMillan Company, New York. Price $2. SOKAR AND THE CROCODILE. By Alice Woodbury Howard. The [MacMillan Company, New York. Price $2. It is not always easy to get sult- able books for colored children. What thé Negro parent usually seeks is a children’s book dealing with Negro life in some form, in- stead of stories for and about white chil@ren. However, the Negro parent seldom finds such a book in the stores. Because of this relative scarcity of suitable books for our young ones, I am sure chese two volumes from MacMillan will be doubly welcomed, Both of these books are about brown and biack children, and neither of them ridicule or make a joke out Bf the life of these young Africans. Both are profusely {ustrated. While Miss Howard's little book tells of the life of a little brown boy along the Nile River in ancient Egypt, Mr. Berry’s work describes very beautifully the life of Afnean children today in far-off Nigeria, on the west coast of Africa. In the back part of Miss Howard's book are eight beautiful half-tone photographs of Egyptian art work, and there are beautiful illustrations in many colors scattered throughout her charming fairy tale of Old Egypt. Opening Mr. Berry's little volume, one is immediately met by a fine painting of an African girl in natural colors, and there are many sketched ‘throughout that greatly enhance the text. It seems to me that both books will make excellent Christmas pres< ents to Negro children.

Smith SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE DRAMATIC SERIAL OF AMBITION, DECEPTION AND SUCCESS November 10. 1928 What Has Happened So Far. Martha Hastings, the beautiful and talented daughter of a hard-working widowed mother is sought by all the lovesick swains of Hainesville. But she is not thinking of marriage. She is seeking a career in order that her mother may spend her old age in peace and comfort. She feels that she may make a mistake and ruin her life, but in business she believes she will be successful. Then she meets S. Gordon Johnson, a handsome traveling representative of a large Negro insurance company who is visiting Hainesville for a few days. Johnson is struck by the girl's chocolate beauty and resolves to take advantage of her at the first opportunity. He rents a room at her house and makes a great impression by his liberality and thoughtfulness. Both Martha and her mother admire him for his gentlemanly and paternalistic conduct. One-night Martha's mother has to go to the country to visit a sick friend. Johnson sees this as his opportunity to assault Martha. He pours a tumbler of gin into a glass of lemonade. When Martha, ignorant of the nature of the drink, partakes of it; she is intoxicated, and while in this condition Johnson picks her up bodily and carries her toward his room. Now go on with the story. AS JOHNSON, his brutal instincts aroused, sought to enter the room, turning sidewise with the struggling girl in his arms, he tripped over the rug and fell. He sought to save himself and instinctively threw out his arms, thus releasing Martha. Both struck the floor with a sounding crash which jarred the house. Johnson's head struck the corner of the door and he drooped insensibly to one side. Martha, however, was aroused from her stupor by the fall. Her eyes opened wide with terror as it suddenly dawned upon her that she was in a terrible predicament. To think that Johnson should have attempted to assault her! Why it was almost unbelievable! And to think that both she and her mother had considered him a gentleman! A succession of such thoughts whirled through her brain as she swiftly sobered up. Her clothing was disordered and her hair disheveled. She got up slowly and walked unsteadily toward the mirror. The face she saw in the glass frightened her. Its beauty was now distorted by a strained and horrified expression brought on by the terrible experience she had just gone through. Then she thought of the bestial man now lying stunned in the doorway. For all she knew, he might be dead; and she would be blamed for it. At once visions of black iron bars and high stone walls rose before her. She saw judge, jury and district attorney pointing accusing fingers at her. "Oh, my God!" she wailed disconsolately, "What shall I do? What shall I do." Then, as she turned to pace across the room in her distraction, she noticed the blood issuing from the mouth and nostrils of the prostrate man. She screamed and fell back horrified. What should she do? Was he dead? She would see. Pulling herself together she stepped across Johnson's body and entered his bedroom. Securing the pitcher of water and towel from his bureau, she knelt down beside him and began to bathe his face. Placing her fingers on his pulse she noted that it was beating feebly. Johnson Revives. Uttering a prayer of thankfulness, the beautiful girl renewed her ministrations. Slowly but surely Johnson began to revive. Finally he raised his hand and passed it falteringly over his bloody face. Then his eyes opened and he glanced up into the anxious face of Martha. "Lie still now," she cautioned him, her mothering instinct taking possession of her terror. "Lie still until I can wipe that blood off your face." Johnson closed his eyes again while she finished her attentions. Fully recovered, he cursed his ill luck under his breath. Why did he have to stumble when he had this girl in his possession? With the prettiest girl he had ever seen completely in his power, he had to sprawl like some awkward clodhopper! Again and again these self-denunciations raced through his mind. "Well, I'll just have to work on a new line," he concluded to himself. When Martha had completely wiped the blood from Johnson's face and dressed the wound on his forehead, he arose and gazed shame-facedly at her. "Martha, I'm terribly sorry," he began, with appropriate PICCOLIN "Listen, darling," he whispered. "Why can't we elope to Chicago?" contriteness. "The sight of you just drove me crazy. I completely lost control of myself. You know if I had been in my right mind I would never have dreamed of touching you. I am too much of a gentleman and have too great a respect for you to descend to such a bestial level. I am awfully ashamed of myself and I want you to forgive me. Oh, I love you! I love you madly. And it is that madness that possessed me for the moment." Martha, young and unsophisticated, was impressed. Despite the warnings of the still, small voice within her, she felt a wave of compassion come over her for this man whom she believed to be suffering so much for his moment of weakness. "Oh, Mr. Johnson," she remonstrated, "don't feel so badly about it." She tried to think of reasons why he should not feel badly but right away she could think of none. A Good Actor Noticing that she was weakening, Johnson decided to play his trump card. A veteran of hundreds of scenes like this and possessing complete control of his emotions, he cast down his eyes while struggling to bring forth some tears. Failing, he moistened the tip of his finger, and with his head lowered, he swiftly wet his eyes. Then, assuming a thoroughly beaten expression, he cried aloud and sank to his knees in front of the surprised and bewildered girl. "Listen, darling," he whispered. "Forgive me! Forgive me!" he moaned, encircling her knees with his arms, burying his head in her dress and shaking violently with great, simulated sobs. "I love you so much," he continued. "I want you so badly! I just cannot go away from here without you. You are my ideal. From the very first day I saw you I have been prostrated at your feet." Martha had never heard anything like this. It astounded her, and then, too, it pleased her. For after all, Martha was a beautiful, young girl, with all the emotions that a healthy young woman possesses. Like the great majority of women, young and old, flattery made an obvious impression on her. Please her. Gave her a feeling and sense of her power. As a man of experience, Johnson knew this, and concluded that probably what he had failed to accomplish by force, could be gained by trickery. "Why don't you marry me?" he began again before the girl could do any thinking. "I can help you to make a place for yourself in the professional world and also make a beautiful home for your mother. That's what you want, isn't it?" Martha slowly nodded her approval. "Well then," he continued, "when I can offer you so much, besides my love, what reason is there for you to refuse? Don't you care for me?" As he spoke, he rose, and pulling a chair alongside the girl, bade her be seated. She complied and he drew up another chair and sat down beside her—very close beside her. Martha Remembers Suddenly the memory of what had transpired came back to the-beautiful brown girl and she recoiled from this man who was once so bestial but who now seemed so repentant. "How can I believe you," she entreated. "Although I have thought ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION nothing of marriage, I liked you better than anyone I had ever met. Then you had to spoil it all this evening? How would I know, if I married you, that the bestiality you showed here tonight would not again asert itself?" This rather staggered Johnson for the moment. "This girl," he thought to himself, "is not so dumb." Then, aloud he answered, "Tonight was the first time that I have ever lost control of myself. When you get older you will understand that there are times when we do things that we are not entirely responsible for and regret for years afterward. This has never happened before with me and will never happen again. I promise you that." Martha considered this for a moment as she glanced into the man's earnest eyes that gave no indication of the crafty mind behind them. His steady gaze renewed her confidence and she thought again of what a gentleman he had been and how kind and thoughtful he had shown himself to be since she first met him. After all, she reasoned, he was awfully nice. And a swell dresser, she concluded, as an after thought. He seemed so distressed and repentant that, in her innocence, her heart melted. She bestowed upon him one of her famous smiles. Johnson knew then that he was again restored in her good graces. They talked on for some time. Martha was hesitant and shy, though "Why can't we elope to Chicago?" obviously impressed by the ardent suit of the crafty insurance man. It was a glowing picture of the future that Johnson painted. He told her of his large bank account and showed her the bank book. He took pains to impress upon her mind that he was the recipient of a very large salary and was quite capable of providing bountifully for her and her mother. He emphasized the influence of his social position in the Negro world and pointed out what an exalted place she would occupy as his wife. As the hour grew later, Martha's resistance weakened. After all, she thought, why not? Certainly Johnson had plenty of money, was apparently well educated, knew the ways of the world, and must be very prominent socially in Chicago. Why shouldn't she marry him? As he had said, it would not mean the ending of her ambitions. Indeed, it might be only the beginning. Marrying him might be the dawning of a better day for both her and her mother. Johnson's Artifice One after the other Johnson tried all of his artifices on the innocent girl who, by his flattery and extravagant promises, he had made forget the events of earlier in the evening. He had aroused again the fires of ambition within her, and he felt sure that he had greatly increased her liking for him. He could see clearly, now, that her admiration was growing into infatuation, and he congratulated himself that he did not have the influence of her mother to contend with. "Listen, darling," he whispered. "Why can't we elope to Chicago? It would be a nice joke to play on your mother when she got the message saying that we were man and wife. And think what a sensation it would (Continued on Page 7) Columbia "Magic Notes" "Key Hole Blues" He sings "I love you mama" She sings "Make me know it papa" Get the record and hear it all.

BY ALI YOUSSIF MOHAMMED (NOTE: The publishers do not assume responsibility for any of the claims or conclusions set forth in this column. The readers are at liberty to accept or reject on face value the opinions of Ali Youssif Mohammed.) THE other day I received a letter from a young man in New York City. "I had a dream the other night," said he, "in which I was surrounded by all kinds of machines. I felt very gay and in good humor, and the machinery was all working speedily but silently. Please tell me what this means." This is a very rare dream. But while it is rare, its interpretation is by no means difficult. To dream about machinery usually means that a good time is coming for the dreamer in so far as work and money is concerned. The activity of the machinery means that this good time will arrive very shortly. If the machinery were stationary the arrival of better times would probably be delayed. Our age is an age of machinery. Our whole existence depends entirely upon machinery and its proper working. Therefore, it is only natural that (Continued on Page 4) The Salad Is Growing in Importance Says Food Expert : 4 THE CREATIVE CUISINE BY HEBA JANNETH SALAD is any agreeable com- A bination of fruits or vegetables held. together with a creamy dressing. But it is usually of raw food and this is what makes it valuable in the menu. The salad has but recently come into favor in America, though it has long been part of the European bill of fare. Even now on many American tables salad is still a foreign item; it may be met with at’ formal din- ners or on Sundays, but is not yet @ part of the regular daily menu. Although, it is true, that-from al- most immemorial times raw fruits and vegetables were believed to have @ laxative and healthful effect upon the body, still, it is only within the last few years that science has con- firmed this idea. Probably tha most important dis- covery of the century is the discov- ery of the vitamine, the most im- portant because the life and health of mankind depend upon it. We now know that the vitamine is as necessary to health and growth as the air we breathe or the water we drink. Without it the child has rickets, the adult pellagra, beri-beri, cancer, consumption and many other dreaded chronic diseases. They do not yet know all there is to know about the vitamine, but they know enough to be certain that its absence in the diet is fatal, . They also know that cooking al- most invariably kills this element tn the food. And here is where the importance of the raw salad comes in.

And if a man can’t please one | woman he probably won't please an- other. * Besides love is a mutual thing and both parties should exchange advice and experiences, And my advice to M., about teach- ing Jack how to kiss, was said in all sincerity. Dr. Little Discusses Blood Diseases Advises Taking Prolonged Treatment By Dr. George W. Little SOME DISEASES OF THE BLOOD Anemia—Thin Blood Anemia—Thin Blood This is a condition where the red cells are too few in number This, of course, puts the body in the same position as a mill without enough men to run it. The person who suffers from thin blood usually, but not always, ts un- der weight. His finger nails and the inner sur- faces of his eyelids are a pale red and not a rich red like those of a healthy person. The best way to observe this ts by pinching the nail and watching the blood flow back under the nail, or by pulling down the eyelid and noticing the color of the tiny blood vessels. Anemia is found in young girls reaching puberty. It accompanies wasting diseases chronic infections. 5 Lack of exercise and unclean liv- ingpredisposes the person toward anemia. Septicemia—Blood Poison Here a germ enters the blood, usu- ally through a break in the skin. The blood forms a very fine grow- ing place for germs when it is in Poor condition. When it ts rich and healthy the germ is killed at once for the white cells attack the germ and devour it, or the blood forms a substance which prevents their growth. When the body is attacked by a germ it forms thousands of white cells, This forming of white cells is one of the causes of fever, © So fever is almost always the sign of an infection somewhere. Syphilis (Pox) In tts earliest stages this disease is a blood infection producing both conditions before mentioned: anemia and septicemia, : A person in the early stages of the disease is extremely dangerous, for there is a possibility of his infecting any number of others. f His hands, the sweat of his body, the eruption on his skin are all sources of infection. This means that the towels, eat- ing utepsils and anything he comes in contact with may infect someone else. The first indication of the disease is a sore, usually on the genitals, The sore is not always painful and many times is not even noticed, for it may be located in a place that can- not be observed, such as the inner surface of the urethra (tube leading from the bladder) or on the neck of the womb or in the mouth or on the tongue or tonsils. The disease comes through a break in the skin. A break so small that it cannot be seen without the aid of a magnifying glass. The germ that causes the disease ts so small that a hundred thousand laid end to end would not stretch across a 10 cent piece, By the time the sore appears there are millions of the germs in the blood. It takes a long time for the germs to grow after they enter the body— three to six weeks or longer. ~ During this time the patient does not feel sick, but nevertheless he is like a man sitting on a lighted bomb. The sore will appear and go away. Then fever, sore throat, headache, skin eruptions and pains in the mus- cles and joints appear. The blood can no longer fight the disease, If the disease is not treated it spreads to the nerves and brain and the victim dies of paralysis and in- sanity. Erlich, a great scientist who lived in Germany, discovered a medicine that could be injected in the blood. This medicine, properly used, would kill the germ but not hurt the body. However, since the germ was car- ried to every part of the body and there were millions of germs formed, it was found that many injections Were necessary before a cure could take place. The mistake most people make who have pox is that they do not take enough treatments. - As soon as they feel tmproved they discontinue their treatments and in six months or a year they find them- selves down with the same condition This, of course, is because they have not had enough medicine. The disease can be cured, but tt takes time, patience and co-operation with your physician, Note: Send in your questions to Dr, Little. He will be glad to an- swer them.

The Journal of Negro History is a magazine published in Washington every three months furnishing data of historical events of the race. 2. Cassiopia was queen of Aethiopia. 3. Memnon was an Aethiopian prince. 4. "Sec. 1. The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." "Sec. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." 5. President King of Liberia, Africa. Two Negro Senators The United States has seen two Negroes holding the honorable position as senators. These two men were Hiram R. Revels and Blanche K. Bruce. Revels served from 1870 to 1871. Bruce served a longer period, he was senator from 1875 to 1881. Both men were elected to congress in the state of Mississippi. Revels was born in North Carolina in 1822. He was born free. His childhood was that of the Negro boy of his day, although he received training denied the average Negro boy. Later he attended and graduated from Knox college in Illinois. Bruce was born a slave in Virginia in 1841. He had the advantage of an early training because the man who owned him allowed him to study with his son. Later he became a student for a short while at Oberlin college, Ohio. It can not be truthfully said that these men were ignorant. To attain such prominence as they did in the days when they did is proof positive that they were men of the finest quality as far as intellect is concerned. Negroes as senators have been a fact. Who will be the third Negro senator? Perhaps some little boy who is reading this, and who struggles over the puzzles of the Kiddies' Korner may be the third. When your attention is drawn to the accomplishments of the past, it is not done that you may sit idly by and dream on these things—you are told so that you may be inspired by what others have done. A great past is only of value when it causes people to press forward and add greater glory to those accomplishments.

You're young and full of life, and you ought to see something of the world while you ere able to enjoy i best. You ought to live while you have a chance to live. One week im Chicago or New York is equal to a year in Hainesville. Come on, will you?” ‘The proposal frightened Martha. What, elope! Take such a drastic step without consulting her mother? % was unthinkable! Why did she ever for & moment permit this man to suggest such a thing. And then, as she looked into his handsome face, her resistance wilted. Why not, she thought to‘herself. It would be'a good joke and @ great surprise to-her mother. It would mean that her dear old gray-haired mother could stop washing, ironing and sew- ing, and take a long-needed rest from her life-long tgil. Then the thought’ came to her: Suppose Johnson should take her to Chicago and then not marry her as he promised? Why couldn’t he marry “her here and then they could go on their honeymoon? Why was it necessary to go all the way to Chi- cago? Wasn't it taking too much of a chance? Wasn't it putting herself too far in Johnson's power in case She should be deceived by him? A thousand questions of a similar na- ture’ coursed through her mind. Johnson sensed the nature of her silence. “So,” he began, “you doubt me. Here I have thrown myself at your feet and offered myself to you, and you hesitate. This is the first time in my life I haye though! enough of a girl to ask her to marry me.” Saying which, he hung his head in mock dejection. She Confesses Her Love His acting was perfect. The girl was touched by his sham humility. Yet she was not quite persuaded to take the step he suggested. Her mind was in a perfect muddle. She liked Johnson immensely and felt that; he could provide well for her and her mothcr. On the other hand her old skepticism regarding mar- riage kept intruding itself again and again.~ - At this juncture Johnson, who had been studying her closely and noting. the emotionaj play of her features, decided that it was time for him to, speak again. “Martha,” he began, edging closer and putting his long, slender hand on the back of her chair, “I love you, oh so dearly! 1 promise you anything and everything if you will become my wife. What more can I do? What more can I say than that? Marry me and you will never regret it a single day of your life.” Slowly, as she seemed to yield. his arm crept around her shoulder and his face came closer. “Marry me," he repeated softly, “I adore you, honor you, respect you, darling.” No one had ever paid so ardent court to Martha. Indeed, no one had paid court to her at all) Every man in Hainesville had been afraid to do so. She had seemed so aloof to all things of the flesh, though very vol- uptuous in appearance. No man of Johnson's position and education had ever So prostrated himself before her in such abject surrender. It roused the conquering spirit of triumphant womanhood within her. In her soul rose the vague memories of countless female ancestors who had success- fully won their mates. Though she’ would not have admitted it, she was won. Almost unaware of what she was doing, she leaned toward Johnson with a sigh of sensual and spiritual satisfactions Slowly yet forcefully he embraced her and in a moment his lips touched hers. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the heavenly bliss- fulness of his kiss and the passion- ate movements over her lithe and supple body. “I love you! I love you!” the man cried as he kissed her again and again.

And yet, she was 80 blinded by her aroused affections that she was totally unaware of his eet she would hardly have ed that he did not mean what he had expressed so ardently. She was not the first girl who had been focied by this man. ~ Johnson noted triumphantly that she was now in his power. He must not make another mistake, he re- solved, although the touch of Mar- tha’s body and lips so inflamed him as to almost consume his reason. At least, he thought, tempted to make an effort to possess her, he would make a trial to see what her reac- tion would be, “Martha,” he murmered, “I belong to you and everything I possess be- longs wholly to you to do with as you wish. You are my mistress; | am your slave. I am absolutely yours right now, even before we are married. Of course, I can not ex- pect you to give yourself as unre- servedly as I do, because I imagine my love for you is a little greater than your love for me.” _ This crafty challenge aroused the beautiful creature. “That isn't 80,’ she exclaimed. “I love you bette! than anybody in the da Ever (lowering her voice) more my ener! You know I am just as much yours as you are mine. I, too am absolutely yours right now!” And as she said this she took his smooth brown face between her petal-like hands and kissed him again and again. She was still rather awkward at caresses because of her inexpert- ence, but this very awkwardness, token of her virginity and innocence merely added fuel to the flames of Johnson's lust. | The man subdued a_ triumphant chuckle. It was easier than he thought. He kissed and caressed her again into semi-consciousness. And then placing his mouth close to her delicate brown ear he whispered: “My baby, if we so thoroughly be- long to each other, then we should consecrate our love. It is not the minister but we two, who must seal our affection! We must give our- selves to each other!” he proceeded craftily, “in order to prove that we are really one!” A Shameful Proposal These= insinuating ‘words broke in rudely upon Martha's blissfulness. With a start she disengaged herself from the man's strong arms and her erstwhile dreamy eyes ‘opened wide with an expression of mingled as- tonishment, fear and horror, “What do you mean?” she gasped. “Why, } don’t understand you!” “Oh, Martha!” Johnson cried, re- doubling his efforts, “the touch of your lips, the feel of your body drives me mad. I am crazy about you, and yet you stare at me as though I were a stranger. Surely you trust the man who loves you. Surely you ‘know that by this time tomorrow night we shall be legally married, Surely it will make no difference if we seal our love here, where it ought to be sealed, rather than do so in Chicago!” Then, without waiting for the girl to reply, he cradled her in his arms and covered her again with kisses Feebly Martha tried to get her scat- tered wits together. She was be- wildered, nonplussed, stampeded, while Johnson knew exactly his ob- jective and was going forcefully to- ward it. The girl, in her present state of mind, could think of no rea- son for refusing what the man she loved had asked. She wanted him, and yet, she also wanted certainty. Torn between conflicting emotions, lured by the urge of the senses, con- vinced against her will by the crafty suggestions of her lover, and carried away by the ardor of his caresses and kisses, she hesitantly murmured, “Yes!” Johnson could hardly subdue a shout of triumph. Kissing her again and again, he finally ceased. Rising, he took both of her little hands in his, pressed her to him, and nodding ia Id P —_ ee ee y Oe 5 ag Ss 8 SS ie ~FREE! ® 4 i bs Kuga ! ‘Dai ae Genuine Gilt NY ~~ a ( at, <a pa EY Lucky Black Cat : Bare Sey aed Wishbone and } LLL tit @ Gyan Ww Lacky Horseshoe SF?

Mississippi Love Mississippi Love (Continued from Page 1) ruined, along with those of the white people, and the whole credit system broke down. Although Rose had soon afterward obtained a position teaching school in Baton Rouge, her salary was too small to help her father and mother out of their difficulty. Her mother had hinted on two or three occasions that Rose ought to try to marry one of the rich Negro doctors or dentists in the capital, but Rose had said that "She couldn't see any of them." Always Julian and Catherine had allowed Rose to have her way. They had raised her to be a lady and had given her everything a young girl could wish. They were the wealthiest, or had been the wealthiest Negroes in the parish. Now they did not think it wise, even though they were in a bad way, to try to force their daughter to marry some man just in order to save the family business. And so, with no means in sight to stave off business failure, the two elderly people were very sad and gloomy. It looked as if everything they had tried so hard to accomplish for so many years had come to nothing. Just one more month and they would be at the end of their resources. That hurt them. They were a proud couple. Both were tall, stately and aristocratic mulattoes who had descended from some of best French and Negro families in Louisiana. They were Creoles who spoke French most of the time. And when they spoke English it was with a French accent. Finally Julian turned to Catherine. "My dear," he said, with a note of despondency in his voice, "suppose you write to Rose and tell her just how hard pressed we are. I know she will understand. I wouldn't want her to do a single thing for us that might injure her afterwards, but if she could get one of those rich fellows in Baton Rouge, it would help us out of our difficulty." "All right, Julian," Catherine replied. "Tll write to her right away. She'll get the letter tomorrow." Rose, the Beautiful If there was a more beautiful mulatto girl in the whole state of Louisiana than Rose Arceneaux, she had not been seen by anybody. The girl was just 17. She was the color of rich cream, with a lithe and shapely body, well-moulded limbs, black wavy hair that hung to her waist and delicate little hands and feet that were the admiration of everyone. Rose possessed one of those rich faces that reflected purity, intelligence, high spirit and honesty. Her sound training in the Catholic school showed in her every act. She was courteous and very capable, and she was loved by her pupils at the high school. In the social life of colored Baton Rouge, she was sought by the most aristocratic families, not only because of her beauty and charming manners, but because she herself was from an aristocratic family that had been free long before the Civil War. Naturally she was much sought after by the young professional and business men of the Negro community. Hardly an unmarried man but had begged for her hand in marriage. But Rose had dismissed them all. She had decided never to marry just for money and influence alone. Hence, although she was keeping company with young Dr. Edward Shelton, and had been ardently wooed by him, she would not consider his proposals of marriage. "Rose," he had said one evening, "why is it you won't listen to me? I love you better than any girl I've ever seen. You are just a wonder. You're my ideal of all that a girl and wife ought to be. I can and will be the best of husbands to you." "Oh Ed," she explained. "Don't bring that up any more! What is the use? I've told you about a hundred times that I'm not thinking of marriage just now, so why keep on? Why can't we just be friends?" There was a note of earnest appeal in her voice as she said this. Dr. Shelton, young, successful, well-to-do and of good family, had long ago decided not to take "No" for an answer. After all, he reasoned, why should Rose refuse him. He had more money than any young professional man in the city and there was not a single thing against his character. As he thought of his wonderful record of scholarship at Meharry and later at Howard University, and the large practice he had built up, his chest expanded and his chin lifted with pride and a suggestion of importance. So far as good looks were concerned there was nothing about Edward Shelton about which any girl could complain. He was of medium height, slender, light brown and handsome. His gold-rimmed nose glasses gave him an air of distinction well set off by his expression of quiet studiousness and his immaculate dress. Indeed, Ed Shelton, as his friends affectionately called him, was one of the best dressed men in town. His clothes were always of the best quality, his handkerchief, shirt and tie always matched, and altogether he was as neat and tidy as anyone could wish. And yet, although desirable in so many ways, there was that about him that Rose had quickly noted. There was a certain retiring attitude, characteristic of the student and professional man, which he possessed to a marked degree. And Rose, young and adventurous, sought a more romantic and daring mate; some one who could make her blood tingle at times. Of course, she wanted a sweetheart who was not too poor and who was of some importance in the community. In her six months in Baton Rouge she had met no young man who came up to her very exacting standards. Decidedly she would not marry Dr. Shelton for all his success and family connertions. He wasn't her type and that was all there was to it. "Don't mention it any more, Ed," she had quietly requested of the ardent doctor. It was while they were sitting on the sofa earnestly talking, that Rose's aunt, Elizabeth Arceneaux, came into the sitting room and handed her the letter from home. Henry Manning Appears When the disappointed Dr. Shelton left, Rose quickly tore open the letter from her mother. It read: "My darling Rose: My baby, I am writing you today, so soon after my last letter because we are in very straightened circumstances. The man from the Powers Company was here today and told your father that unless he received the $600 we owe them before the first of next month they will take over all of our stock. You know what that means, Rose. It means that all of the toll and labor of 20 years is to be lost. As they are going to get out a judgment against us, too, for our back bills, it is likely that we shall have to mortgage the old home. Darling, I don't know what we are going to do. We cannot borrow any money. If you were married, we could probably call upon your husband to help us. But as it is we cannot get help from any source, and I fear that we shall have to lose all that we have accumulated through the years. Your father and I want to thank you for the $25 you sent us last week. While we appreciate your generosity and sacrifice, we cannot let you spend so much of your salary on us. Please, however, try to think of some way to help us out of our difficulty. Your devoted Mother." The letter brought a flood of tears to the beautiful face of the girl. Her breast heaved with great sobs as she buried her face into the pile of sofa pillows. Her Aunt Elizabeth tried to console her. "Don't cry, honey," she cautioned, "because you can't stay pretty if you cry so much you will lose your beauty." "I don't care," Rose sobbed. "I would lose anything to help mama and papa now.

He has the money that could pull them out of this difficulty; but I just don't love him." "Well, honey," advised her Aunt, "don't marry him, then. A woman is a fool to marry a man, no matter how much he has got, if she don't love him." The old lady shook her head with the wisdom of years. "Don't make any difference," Rose cried, with sudden resolution. "I'm going to marry him love or no love. I will never forgive myself if pa and ma lose their home and their business." With new-born resolve the girl rose from the sofa, dabbed her reddened eyes with a dainty whisp of perfumed lace. "I think I'll walk out by the river for a while," she suddenly announced. "Be careful how you go prowling around there in the dark," her aunt warned. "Some of them no account men are liable to insult you." The suggestion brought a note of merriment into Rose's voice. "Oh, I guess I can look out for myself!" she said proudly, thinking of her athletic prowess at school. Tossing her hat on she walked out into the moonlight, hailed a street car and rode down to the levee. It was a gorgeous night. The bosom of the Mississippi River was like a silver ribbon under the beneficent rays of the new moon. The air was filled with the scent of the water, the swamps and the growing things along the banks. In back of her, as she stood on the levee rose the lights' of Baton Rouge, and across the river could be discerned, here and there, the lantern on a rowboat or the row of lights on the ferry. Rose seated herself on the edge of the levee and drank in the beautiful scene, dreaming the while of what an ideal place it would be for a meeting place with a sweetheart. Her thoughts were rudely disturbed by a rough voice saying, "Hello there, sweet Mama. Got a heavy date on with somebody tonight?" She stood up and turned suddenly, a little startled to confront a rough. VAN GOGH HOLLOWAY "He reached out suddenly and grabbed her." dark fellow with ragged overalls on, and an evil look in his eye. Instinctively she drew back in repulsion and thought hastily of what she ought to do. It was obvious that the man was going to make advances and as he was between her and the city, she must figure on a way to get past him. The two eyed each other for a full minute, the girl frankly frightened, the man with lustful admiration and calculation. Then before she realized it, he reached out suddenly and grabbed her by the wrist. "Baby, you sure look good to me. Give old Black Boy a kiss, sugar," he coaxed, drawing her toward him. Rose shrank in loathing, but in her fright forgot to scream. Suddenly she found her voice and did let out a piercing scream. The man uttered an oath and placed a foul hand over her mouth. The girl's head swam and it was with only superhuman effort that she kept from fainting. Just then she heard footsteps close to them and a savage blow descended upon the head of her rude assailant. His hold on her wrist and mouth lessened and he sank with a groan to the ground. Rose's eyes and senses cleared and she then glanced for the first time at her rescuer. He was tall, dark, sinewy and extremely masculine in appearance with a certain daring and adventurous manner about him that reminded one of the cavaliers and pirate captains of old. He was very stylishly dressed in a light grey suit, lavender shirt, grey motorist's cap and purple cravat with handkerchief to match in his coat pocket. In his hand he carried a monkey wrench with which he had felled her assailant. "Well," he laughed good-naturedly, "I guess I just about got here at the right time, young lady. Eh, what?" Although still faint, Rose had to smile because of the casual manner of the man. "Just happened to stop my car over there by the railroad station," he explained, "thinking I would enjoy the view for a while, when I heard you holler." "You certainly can holler loud," he added mischievously. HOLLOWAY Rose had to laugh, too. Just then the still form at their feet began to stir. Rose's rescuer was immediately alert as the rough fellow staggered to his feet and felt the large lump on his head where the wrench had struck. Grabbing the fellow by the shoulder with one hand and pulling a revolver out of his hand with the other, he pointed the weapon at him. "All right, Big Boy, now you beat it away from here as fast as your legs can carry you, and consider yourself lucky that I don't have you run in," and he gave the fellow a shove off. The man, seeing the revolver, ran hurriedly down the levee and disappeared. Rose looked on admiringly as she thought how forceful this man was. "Well," he smiled, turning to her, "you are now standing before Henry Manning, gentleman of leisure, who is pleased to say that his car is at your disposal to be driven wherever you wish to go whether in Baton Rouge or the surrounding country." Very pleased, Rose told Mr. Manning who she was, and accepted his offer to drive her home, because she still hadn't entirely recovered from her experience. A Sad Surprise After that memorable evening, Henry Manning was a most ardent and determined suitor for Rose's hand. He had been completely captivated by her beauty, charm and intelligence. When school let out each day, Henry was there with his expensive roadster to drive Rose home. He called at her aunt's house, where she was staying, three and four times a week. Each evening when she got home there were roses there from the florist's and every morning when she came into her classroom there was a large bouquet on her desk. She was frankly dazzled by so much attendance and attention. "How different he is from the other fellows," she sighed to herself one afternoon as she peeped out of the window about closing time and saw his long roadster parked at the curb. Dr. Edward Shelton was naturally furious and didn't try to conceal it. "So I see you've got a new beau," he sneered rather ungraciously one evening when he came to call. "Can't hardly see you any more!" "Mr. Manning is just a friend of mine," Rose offered rather haughtily, adding, "What concern is it of yours, anyway? You have no right to speak to me like that. I have always treated you nice, but you must admit that I have never encouraged you in any way." "Oh, I know, Ed continued sneeringly. I'm not good enough for you. You prefer someone who is not known and whose very means of existence is questionable." Rose jumped up from the couch where they had been sitting, her cheeks hot and flushed with anger. "You can just leave, Dr. Shelton. I don't intend to sit here and be insulted and have my friends talked about. I choose whom I wish for my association and I don't have to ask you to pass on them, either." Seeing that he had gone too far, Shelton arose with profuse apologies. "Good night!" she said imperiously, more as a command than a parting salutation. Ed's face fell and gloomily he marched down the steps and got into his car. When he had gone, Rose sat for a long time pondering over what he had said. After all, she thought to herself, who was Henry Manning? No one had introduced him to her and she knew nothing about his family or connections. While she was thinking to herself on these things, her aunt came in from choir meeting, bursting with news. "Rose," she blurted, "you'll have to stop going with that Manning fellow. Mrs. Cunningham was just telling me down to the church that the folks are saying that this fellow is nothing but a common gambler, just run out of Natchez. Oh, it's terrible," the old lady gasped, thinking of the family reputation. This awful confirmation of Rose's suspicions struck her speechless.
