Hobert, a coal black negro, six feet tall,
thirty-four years old, is turning white. The
phenomenon, which began three years ago
and at first progressed slowly, has become
pronounced of late. Physicians who have

permanent, and that Holbert will in a few
years be white man.
Holbert views the transformation with
satisfaction. He was born in Boston. and,
though there was white blood in the family
of both his father and mother, Holbert,
until his skin began TO whiten, had every
appearance of being a full-blooded negro.
