ELEN was one of those colored girls described as being of fair complexion with sandy red hair. She was pretty, at least everyone said so. She was not spoiled, but apt at times to let a little flattery go ELEN was one of those colored girls described as being of fair complexion with sandy red hair. She was pretty, at least everyone said so. She was not spoiled, but apt at times to let a little flattery go to her head. At twenty-one she was a little coquettish, more from environment than by nature. Always good natured, and with a cheerfulness that was at times likely to be misunderstood. She had recently come north to live with an aunt, and worked in one of the few first class eating places for colored in the city. She dressed well, because she bought her own clothes, and if there was anything that she could do it was to select nice clothes. She had a graceful form, and, like most girls so blessed, she was proud of it. Into this place where Helen worked, one day came Jim Howard. Jim was one of those fellows put down by the "fast set" as "old fashioned" and bashful. He was neither, but he was discriminating. Flappers held no charm for him; his books were his pals, and he spent most of his time with them. Studying, which had been denied him in his youth, was now his hobby. He was ambitious. It is true that he was not what could be called a ladies' man, but there was something about Helen that made him look at her twice, which was a Section 2—Saturday, February 2, 1929 record for him. While he did not believe in love at first sight, he did believe one could like very much at the first sight; and this is what he did. A new force had begun to move within him; was it love? There was the coquettish smile, and she said "Alright-e," but beneath that Jim thought he saw something more, a little of the old fashioned girl. Jim liked Helen. HIS PROBLEM GROWS SERIOUS Jim's problem grew more serious each day, he just had to talk to Helen, but how to start he did not know. Was she married? This troubled him. How would he find out? He had said that he would not make a fool of himself for any woman, but things are easy to say. He had one hope. Coming in as he did from work, oftimes he had a book or two with him; she had asked several times to see them and read their titles, but never had she expressed a desire to borrow one, which was what Jim wanted her to do. He hoped that she would, for, as he put it, that would "break the ice." Her interest in books had encouraged him, for that was the kind of wife he wanted if he ever married. "If I could just get her to talk about books for a start," he almost moaned, "then I could work myself in." He did get his chance, just as he had dreamed Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing Foreign Advertising Representatives: W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, IL THE and prayed he would. One day as he came in with a little volume of short stories she asked if she might read it when he had finished with it. His desire for dinner was gone. "I've read it already," he lied; and added: "A pal of mine just gave it back to me." WALKING ON AIR For several days Jim walked on air; it was that long before he could get back to the little eating place. He planned over in his mind many things to say to her when he saw her again, only to become almost tongue-tied when he did see her. As he entered she greeted him with: "Why, hello, Jimmie, you're quite a stranger." "How did you learn my name," he asked, grinning foolishly. "Oh, it was in the book," she answered with a little smile, and added: "I think it a wonderful little book." "There are ten of them in the set," he informed her. "May I read some of the others, too?" she asked with a smile that would have made Helen of Troy look like she was crying. "Sure!" he answered nervously. "I have about two hundred books in all — a young library." "Maybe you will lend me lots of them; you ```markdown ``` A good tonic that keeps you feeling well ```markdown ``` see, I read a lot when I can get the books." Jim told her that she could read all of them, that he would make her a list of them. "That will be awful sweet of you," she added, as she handed him his change. For several days things began to look good for Jim. "Jimmie" was his name now, as far as Helen was concerned, and she said it with an accent that he liked. They talked of books and authors and even of themselves. When he left she would say, "Bye, Jimmie." He was happy. Jim went about with an air that made his friends wonder what had happened to him. They knew that something had happened, but what it was they did not know. Jim was wondering, too, but on a different subject. "Have I found her at last?" he pondered. There was one thing that he did not have to think about—he knew that he loved her. Jim had never had a date with a girl in all his life. He had always been too busy or "bashful," as his friends t. t. Perhaps he could have had dates, but he did not care for the type of girl called "fast" that most anyone could have a date with. His kind of girl, he admitted, was a little hard to find. He wanted to find out if Helen was his kind. But that was a hard job. Jim had fought in the late war; he had even fought hand to hand; but to tell a girl that he loved her, that was different. It took a different kind of nerve, especially when in his mind that girl did not love him. For the first time he wanted to ask a girl for a date, but he almost knew that she would refuse. "Maybe," he reasoned, "I had better not work so fast." He could not remain for long in this state, so he made up his mind to try his luck and ask her to go to a movie with him. Helen seemed to like him pretty well by this time. "Helen," he stammered one evening, while eating his supper, "w-will you go to the show with me tonight?" "Well, to tell you the truth, Jimmie," she said, "you see, my club meets tonight, and you know how that is." Jim agreed that he knew, "Will you go some other night this week?" he pleaded. "Oh, maybe," she answered, without much assurance. Jim felt sick. Now it cannot be said that Helen did not like Jim. In a way she did. He was considered intelligent, and was interesting to talk to at times but to go out with him, that was quite another thing. He did not dance and cared very little for wild parties. In fact, he was listed as a social "flat tire," and who wanted to go out with a flat tire? In the language of her more sophisticated sisters, "it just wasn't being done." Jim decided to try his luck again Wouldn't you like to begin each day with a freshness of energy that enables you to sail briskly through your regular duties—and still have sufficient "pep" to play just as hard as you worked? If you would—and what woman would not?—get a bottle of St.Joseph's G.F.P. and start taking it today. Quick benefit is a feature of this good tonic! But more than that, it helps to build energy and strength. Made from Nature's own medicines, St.Joseph's G. F.

"I don't see how I can tonight, Jimmie; I—I have to hurry home. I—" she said. with a shy smile. "All right," said Jim, forcing a smile. Inwardly he had a strange feeling—a sickness of heart common to all lovers in such a case. "Well," he consolled himself, "I won't make a fool of myself by asking her again." Jim never knew how it happened, but one evening he found himself going home with Helen. He never tried to describe his feeling on that day. It was no use. For some distance there was silence, save for comment on some passing object; but there was a directness about Jim—there was something he wanted to say, and he was going to say it. It might prove his undoing, but he just had to say it and stake all, for when would he get the chance again? "Helen," he broke the silence, "I don't know what you will think of me, but there is something I want to tell you." Helen was silent, her face turned away. "Helen," he continued, "I love you—more than anything in the world. I—" "Love me, Jimmie?" she put in, looking as though she had been struck by a charge of the "Four Horsemen." "I know that you do not love me, Helen; but won't you try? I do not expect that enthusiastic admiration that turns so warmly to the young sheels. I ask no more than I can give—honest love; I promise you that." "Why, Jimmie, you don't know my faults or anything; you hardly know me." "I know one thing—that is that I love you, and want you to marry me. Do not give me your ansyer tonight; think it over and let me know when you want to." "Jimmie," she teased, "I think you are imagining things." They had reached her home; embarrassment had drained her face of color. Should she ask him in and hear more of his love pleadings? He relieved her. "Good-bye, Helen," he said, as he turned to go. "Marry, marry," sighed Helen as she dropped down on her bed and began to lazily untie her shoes; "not for this chicken—we live but once." Jim would not see her again for several days; he would give her plenty of time to make up her mind. "I will not even mention it," he said to himself, "until she has had all the time she wants." It was at this stage of things that Windell Van Lawton came on the scene. He was known around the city as just Van. He roomed at the same house that Jim did. He came often into the little eating house where he had seen Helen and Jim ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Another Grateful Woman Praises Lydia E.

One is the building up of your BONE, BLOOD, NERVE and TISSUE, the other is the carrying off of the-waste matter and impurities.

If your LIVER and KIDNEYS fail to do their duty, portions of this waste matter remain in your stomach and intestines where they ferment, sour and decay, causing INDIGESTION, SOUR STOMACH, KIDNEY TROUBLE, etc. These impurities are also taken up by your blood and carried to all parts of your system, causing a general run-down condition and IMPURE BLOOD.

VAN RUBS IT IN Jim, who sat in a corner, swore under his breath as he restrained himself with an effort. Van, who saw him, rambled on about his conquest and how he was going to work things. He concluded that Jim was no longer his rival, so he would rub it in. "Got her all dated up for a ride in the old bus, tonight. Watch my smoke." Jim could stand no more and got up and walked out of the room. Van, with a motion of his head toward him, said: "Sap." After walking up and down the street for awhile, Jim made his way to the little restaurant. Helen looked up in surprise; she knew that he had had his lunch. She greeted him rather coolly as he walked up to her. "Helen," he said, "there is something I want to tell you; it is for your own good." "Well?" she questioned, rather unconcerned. "I don't think that Van is the kind of a fellow for you to go out with, that is, riding with; he——" "Mr. Howard," she cut him off, almost hissing the words, "there may be some things you can tell me, but how to mind my own business is not one of them." "I just thought——" Again she cut him off. "I thank you, I don't need anyone to do my thinking," she snapped out, her almost white face flaming brick red. With that she turned and switched into the kitchen. Jim turned like a whipped dog and walked out, this time he made his way to his room. Once inside he dropped down on his bed like a log. Burying his face in his hands, he sighed almost aloud. He was overcome with that queer sickness that only a rebuked lover can know; he felt weak; his mouth was dry; he wanted to sleep but could not. He made miserable efforts to read, but the lines ran together. St. Joseph's 10¢ Pure ASPIRIN 5-GRAIN TABLETS Headache, tooth tis, rheumatism and any one of these ma- ly with aspirin, p aspirin.

Write today --- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Drawn by some unknown force that he could not resist, Jim found himself at eight-thirty standing across from the little restaurant; he saw Helen and Van come out and get into the Ford. As Van turned the car he saw Jim in the light. Van laughed as Negroes usually laugh in such cases. Helen saw him also, and if Jim could have seen her he would have seen a little sardonic smile on her face. Jim swallowed hard and almost wilted as the car passed him. JIM IS BLUE Jim avoided the parlor as well as the little eating place for the next few days; not that he believed all that Van said, but he did not want to hear him boast. One day as he came in he heard Van remark: "Yes, this is to be the biggest dance of the season, and we are going to do our stuff, the kid and I." "Who is giving this dance, Van?" asked someone as Jim went over and sat down. "This is a fraternity affair," he answered, glancing at Jir. "Only the college fraternity can go. You know, I like to take a kid like this to these affairs; they know their stuff. She ain't one of mamma's baby girls, she's hot." Van knew that Jim was not a college man but had always wanted to be. Therefore he took every chance to rub in a thing like the fraternity affairs. A few days after the dance Jim and Van entered the little parlor almost together. Jim picked up a paper and dropped into his favorite chair. Van walked over and slapped one of his pals on the back with one hand, while the thumb of the other was hooked in the armhole of his double-breasted yest. "Well," he began, "I'm taking the kid for a ride tonight that will tell the tale; I'll find out what's to her." "Better go early," counseled one of his friends, "so she can see how to walk back."

From across the street he called a cab. "Follow that Ford roadster," he ordered as he closed the door. The driver obeyed and took up the chase. Fate as ever was dogging after Jim. Van's car made a traffic light by a hair; Jim's did not; this gave Van a start. Jim swore, this time not under his breath. Van did not know he was being followed, yet he was getting all that he could out of an old-model Ford. Jim gave the driver the directions, and he soon caught sight of Van on the old Pike road. Van turned off, but Jim knew where he was headed. Coming to the edge of the grove, Jim told the driver to wait a few minutes. "I'll give them a few minutes to get settled," he thought. After about twenty minutes, he told the driver to wait for him, and made his way through the grove; he had gone but a few feet when he heard a scream; it was Helen. "Please, don't, Van," she pleaded; "look, you are tearing my clothes." "Don't try to hand me that stuff now," said Van. "What do you think I am?" Jim ran down to the road in the direction of the voices. There, in the car, was a sight that made his blood turn cold. Helen was struggling to push Van from her; he was bending her head back over the seat; her shoulder was bare; her torn waist hanging down on her arm. Jim could see that Van was drunk. With a leap that would have done credit to an athlete, Jim was on the running board. So engrossed was Van that he did not notice him, neither did Helen. Opening the door, Jim caught him by the back of his coat collar and dragged him out on the ground and flung him down. Van was wholly taken aback. At the sight of Jim Helen heaved a sigh of relief. "So it's you," snarled Van, in a great rage, "you following somebody." Jim was silent; stepping back a few feet, he began to take off his coat. Van came to his feet with a stream of oaths, at the same time bringing out a switch-blade knife. Being feminine, Helen screamed, throwing both hands over her face and looking from between her fingers. Van tried to steady himself and then made a lunge toward Jim with the open knife. Helen closed her eyes. Jim did not move; he had been trained for such an attack during the late war. As the hand with the knife shot out he caught it by the wrist, giving it a twist. With a little animal-like cry Van dropped the knife. Jim kicked it across the road. For a while they fought back and forth across the road. Even if evenly matched, Van's whiskey would have told on him. Jim managed to land a blow that sent the other down in a heap, but he got up to try his luck again. Another well directed blow on the chin sent him down a second time and he did not get up. Jim jerked him to his feet and took him over to the car to face Helen, who was staring wild-eyed at the two fighters. "All that talk you have been doing about Helen was a lie, wasn't it?"

Jim gave him a shove and, taking Helen by the hand, led her out of the car. LOVE'S ANSWER It was almost dark when they found the cab. Opening the door, he almost shoved her in; he gave the driver her home address and got in beside her. For a while there was death-like silence save for the noise of the motor. It was Jim who broke this silence. "Helen," he said in a voice new firm, "can I have my answer tonight?" Helen emitted a scarcely audible sob, took one of his hands in hers but remained silent.

David, in prison as the result of Big Ott's machinations, believes Zola to be responsible for his plight. Big Ott, intending to force his unwelcome attentions on Zola, is driven to The Nest by a young weakling, Barry Dwane. He finds Bledsoe there and in the act of forestalling him in regard to Zola. They fight and Zola escapes to the waiting motor car on the suggestion of Barry. Ott pursues her and finds the car stalled and her hat in it, but she has disappeared. Then we go on from here CHAPTER 5 DOUBLING BACK BACK in the clearing, Anson Bledsoe, snarling in impotent rage, limped painfully toward the open door of The Nest. His bloodshot eyes caught a glimpse of furtive rippling in the low shrubbery skirting the further edge of the tree-bordered space. With elaborate casualness he stepped inside of the cabin. Once inside, his casual manner dropped from him like a garment. He darted to one of the windows overlooking that portion of surrounding underbrush in which he had noted the agitated movement. Carefully he peered between the sinister bars that guarded the glass panes. For a moment there was no indication of any further movement. Then, as though some hidden watcher had been reconnoitering, carefully, stealthily the bushes began to move again. Out into the open glade, eyes keenly scanning the space about her, Zola stepped. She was bareheaded and panting. A long red scratch on one of her golden arms showed where a briar had bitten into the tender flesh. The other hand was pressed against her heaving bosom to still its desperate throbbing. She stood, poised, tensely listening, for a moment. Anson turned and started to the door. The crafty smile on his evil face suddenly froze into a leer of hate. He had caught the heavy sound of running footsteps crashing through the underbrush. They came from the direction Big Ott and his companions had gone in their chase after the fleeing woman. Now, from where she stood listening, the dancer also heard the ominous sound. A panicky look of apprehensive fear overspread her beautiful face. She looked around her with frantically --- "Gave Up Hope of Life!"

A PATHLESS PATH As Big Ott and his breathless companions came crashing into the glade where Anson Bledso glared at them from the safety of the interior of his sinister cabin, Zola dashed deeper into the trackless undergrowth. Her light feet and lithe body, trained to the soundless, agile rhythm of difficult dancing steps, served her in good stead now. Avoiding the overhanging branches by graceful twistings and dartings of her limber body and landing lightly on the tips of her small feet, she made scarcely any sound, and none that was loud enough to attract attention above the clumsy ```markdown ``` ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION IT'S TIGHT LIKE THAT Vocalion Record %1228 DO you want to do some pretty dancin'?

He licked his lips as he said it. he hooked his lips as he looked outside, Big Otto was in low-voiced consultation with Brownie and Barry. He waved his hand toward a pile of fire logs at one side of the place where he stood. Obediently the two listeners crossed to the pile. Brownie eagerly searched through the great heap of logs till he found a medium-sized one that would serve his purpose. This he extricated from the heap with the half-hearted and reluctant assistance of young Barry Dwane. THE WRONG QUARRY "Will this do, Boss?" he said, and his tone was one of unusually alert interest. "Yeah, that's just about right, Brownie. Hey, there!" He turned to Barry, frowning. "What's eatin' YOU? You act like you ain't any too eager to help. Now I don't want any monkey business outa you—get me!" His voice and tone were significantly threatening. Young Barry lowered his head. A slight frown creased his forehead.

There was something of the odd streak of bull-headedness that is sometimes to be found in weaklings and often breaks out to the surprise and sometimes to the discomfiture of those associated with them. Big Ott looked at the boy curiously, but he said nothing. "C'mon," he said to Brownie; "let's get busy." Advancing upon the closed door with the log, the three men paused a few feet from the door. "One—two—three," Big Ott's great voice boomed the numbers rythmically. "Now let's go!" With a concerted forward dash the men swept forward onto the closed door, swinging the heavy log ahead of them with concerted force. "Boom!" The improvised battering ram struck the heavy oak panels. Inside, Anson Bledsoe sat smoking a cigarette nonchalantly, a mocking smile on his bus. "Boom! Boom! C-r-r-ao! Crash!" At last the repeated blows sent the splinter door crashing inward. Big Ott, a triumphant smile on his wet, thick lips, rushed over the fallen door into the dim room. 5 "Well?" Anson, still sitting in the farther corner smoking, looked up at him quizzically. "Why all the anxiety to see me again?" The satire in the dry question was like the dry crackle of witches' laughter. Big Ott stopped, his mouth wide open in foolish amazement. "Hell!" The expletive fell in the mocking silence as futilely as the big brute's silly gaze of disappointment probed the dim corners of the room. Meanwhile in the depths of the pathless bit of woods Zola forged ahead. In those dim shadows her sense of direction was more than confused. Unused to the country and the forest, she was worse than lost. Any moment now she might find herself again in the clearing to which her first wild flight away from the stalled automobile had carried her and from which only chance had helped her to escape. Then, as she paused, panting and listening, she saw a tiny bit of crimson silk waving like a beacon from the jagged end of a broken branch. It was a piece of the scarf she had worn that morning—a scarf whose torn remnant now shielded her head in place of the hat she had left in the car.

Which way? She lifted her head and peered intently among the trees. Lightly and swiftly she sped to the further bit of crimson. It was a piece of veiling from her hat. She smiled almost confidently. She had deliberately chosen to trip against that sharp bush and leave the bit of veiling clinging there just before the jagged branch had offered the chance to mark her way with the bright bit from the softer silk chiffon of her scarf. That way lay the open fields—and freedom. Carefully searching ahead for the tiny torn bits from her various garments, she trudged more slowly now through the tangled maze, unerringly guided by those silent bits of color. The sun was climbing high in the heavens when the tired and worn woman came to the edge of the shadowy depths that looked out across the wide brown fields she had seen in the early morning light. She was hungry and thirsty, but she dared not trust herself into that open stretch of country until she was sure that pursuit had not led her hunters hither. Carefully skirting the inner edge of her hiding place, she scanned the wide sloping reaches. Far away beyond the rise of the rolling acres she saw the roof of a farmhouse that lay in a shallow valley between the two fields. It was too far away to hope to reach it if she should be seen while crossing that half mile of upward reaching sward. She could only wait for darkness to shield her from any watching and prying hunters. She lay down close under the shelter of a hazelbush at the bottom of a dry gully that ran at right angles to the outer line of trees and undergrowth. Exhausted with her unaccustomed exercise, her hunger and thirst and her fear, she dropped into a fitful slumber broken by fearsome dream of pursuit and capture. In the midst of a dream she seemed to be crouching in breathless fear out in the open as Big Ott, his brutal little eyes leering at her and his broad thick lips smiling cruelly in triumph at having discovered her, she awoke to hear a great crashing and stumbling almost over her head. Holding her breath in her sudden awakening, even as she seemed to Gonzelle White, Leading Lady in her own "Big Jamboree Company." Xelento Quinine Pomade For Making Herb Kickery Hair Soft.

A DREAM ALMOST COME TRUE Suddenly in the stillness Big Ott's rough voice came to her, so close that he seemed almost to be speaking in her ears. 'Well, it's a cinch she ain't come out this way. We'd 'a seen some sign of her by this time. She may have got lost and gone back to The Nest. Let's make it back there before night comes on sure enough." She looked up and saw one of his big feet at the edge of the ravine, above her. for me and you "We stay The Ott's back her s a bred pered When steps to sm and a hysterical escape "I knowed all along she couldn't never find her way back through them woods. With that woods road leadin' out to the highway she'd 'a' had too much sense to try this way when she found it. She probably layed out there somewhere close to The Nest and made her get-away while we was a-breakin' open the house." Brownie's voice was querulous with the peevish anger of a tired man. "I expect Brownie's right, Boss," Barry Dwane spoke for the first time in the last half hour, and his voice seemed eager and excited. "It'd be just like Zola to do something like that. If we hurry back we may be able to get some trace of her where she left the old road." As he talked the crouching woman sensed that he was leading the men farther away from her hiding place. Something in the excited, eager pitch of his tones told her that one at least of those hunters had caught a glimpse of her where she lay hidden at the foot of the shallow bush-shaded gully. The men's harsh voices died away. For a long moment the girl lay very still, waiting till the sound of their steps should fade with their voices. All was once more silent around her. Cautiously she raised her head, but dropped it as quickly as she heard lightly running footsteps. Her heart stopped for a beat. Then suddenly she heard a voice calling as though raised to carry to persons behind at some distance. "I just remember I said that she might have made it over to the farmhouse and I left my knife there by the place where Brownie made his fire last night. You know we were there when I said it.

Exelento preparations have proven their merit. for me, Ott, while I run over there and get it." "Well, hurry up about it; we can't stay out here all night." The hiding woman knew that Big Ott's voice was receding as he called back to the running boy. Then above her she heard the footsteps pause for a breath and a hoarse voice whispered: "Look for the blaze tonight. When you see it, go out." Then the steps ran on. Something taut seemed to snap inside of the woman's brain and she wept great tearing sobs of hysterical relief for the moment's escape. Night had fallen, but still Zola lurked in the shadows. Far away she seemed to catch a faint droning sound. It grew louder and louder. Then as suddenly it ceased. She crouched deeper into the shelter of the dense blackness of the woods. As she peered out into the lighter darkness beyond, she saw a small flicker of light. It grew, wavered and grew again. Then she saw that it was a blazing fire that had been lighted. With a little strangled cry of relief she darted out of the woods and in the direction of the blaze. As she drew near she saw a great looming shadow and shrank back—too late! The blood was driven back into her heart as she recognized the high laughter of the Chocolate Kid. "C'mon out of it, Zola," he laughed. Then, as it seemed to her she could stand no more, he went one: "It's all right this time, Kid. Ott paid me to BRING you—I don't want any pay to take you away. BARRYSAW ME WHEN THEY GOT BACK TO TOWN." He strode over to her side, and, still laughing, lifted her and carried her to the plane. "You'll have to lay off of helpin' that Hicktown gink, David Conway, though, baby. They indicted him today. He's good for the rope. You stay outa that an' I'm with you."

I happened into conversation with a youth in the Rand book store in New York city one day and he asked me if I knew the poet, Claude McKay. This youth, I found out later, was Donald Duff. He carried me up to Claude's rooms. Claude was then living at number 23 E. 14th street. Duff knocked at room number eight. A mellow voice within bade us enter. I was somewhat excited, for this was my first time to meet a celebrity. I was racking my brain wondering what to say. I wanted to make an impression. But these musings were cut short when Duff opened the door and ushered me into a small, neatly furnished room. There in one corner was McKay stretched out on an army cot. He wore a shirt, open at the throat, and blue serge trousers.

Dept. 31 ihe Jackson, Mich. ~The Liberator was a leading white magazine and McKay was the first Negro to ever hold such a respon- sible position. z Claude had been married in Ja- maica, but I could never get much out of him about his wife or his marriage. “I'm all out of touch with the dusky beauties,” was all that I could get out of him. McKay is a very careful worker. He first writes out his poems in a very careful longhand, and then he has them typed. He also makes use of one of Haldeman-Julius’ little rhyming dictionaries, In 1921 he went to Russia. and was given a royal welcome by the Soviet authorities. He was feted by the government officials, and spoke be- fore the central executive committee, ‘he government authorities also gave him the use of an official plane with which to fy from Moscow to Leningrad. McKay now lives in Marseilles, France.- He is working on a new novel dealing with the life, of the beach combers in Marseilles, About “Home to Harlem,” McKay writes: “I am an artist interested in imaginative portrayals of life and \rtistf® trith. The average Afra- merican is So thin-skinnéd, he can- not stand up like a man before the artistic presentation of any phase of Negro life.” He hasn’t taken the criticisms of his novel very seriously. At present he is traveling in North Africa, He hopes to return to America for a visit in two or more years, but does not intend to live in this country again. He likes France better.
