ton For Faithful Services Rendered
the Order at New York.


Greater New York who have worked
their way up from the foot of the lad
der in business, religious and secret
society circles Nine. B. e. De Tuscano
occupies an enviable position. Back in
1901, when the New York Women's
Business club was doing effective work
in helping young Afro-American wo-
men to perfect themselves in the dress
making business, domestic science, mu-
sic and art needlework, Mrs. De Tus-
cano was one Of the foremost workers
OF that organization. Her own special
line Of business, however, is that of
regalia making for secret societies and
other organizations. She also makes
banners for churches and Sunday
schools. Her work has been highly
commended and even sought by manu-
facturers of many years Of experience,
and today her name Is sufficient guar
antee for the best quality Of workman
ship. In secret societies Mrs. De Tus-
cano is better known as a true re-
former and as one of the pioneer lead
ers in the Households of Ruth Of the
Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of
New York. Many Of the household cir
cles give her the credit for their sue
cess In membership, finance and busi-
ness management. She Is an untiring
worker In their ranks and never seems
happier than when she is doing some
thing for the promotion Of the women
who are members Of this time honored
auxiliary to the Grand United Order
Of Odd Fellows. And what Is true Of
her in this particular line of secret 30
ciety work holds good in many others
which prize her membership highly.
In order to show their appreciation
for the long and faithful services
which Mrs. De Tuscano has rendered
to them the various Households Of
Ruth of Greater New York recently
rendered to her a complimentary ban
quet at the New Amsterdam Opera

Households Of Ruth, members from
other organizations and the public gen.
orally turned out en- masse to testify
their appreciation for the benefits
which they have received from her
wise council, helpful association, work
Of faith and labor Of love in the COM
mon cause Of humanity and racial up
lift. The opera house was filed with
friends and well wishers, who Wed
with each other In bestowing honor
upon one to whom honor Is due. Music
was furnished by the New Amsterdam
orchestra, and the banr1et was served
by the well known William E. Gross.
The banquet without doubt was the
most elaborate given to any individual
by the combined members Of secret
order In New York for many years.
The executive committee which en-
gtneered the banquet was made up
Of Mrs. Sarah Hubert, chairman;
Mrs. Phoebe Green, vice chairman;
Mrs. Rosa Goodrich, treasurer; Mrs.
Sadie Garnett, assistant treasurer;
Mrs. q. H. Tolliver, general secretary,

Outstanding that he was to receive the
