common and high school education in
the city Of her birth, she was the
adopted daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Worden P. Churchill, one of the old
est, wealthiest and most highly re-
spected families in that city. This

not enjoyed by other young Colored
women in any section Of the country

cago her future home. and in 1901,
she became united in marriage to Mr..
Philip Green, and from the day of

time, they have resided in a lovely
little home Of their own at 243 West
18th street.
Mrs. Green, is a lover Of both vo-
cal and instrumental music, and she
can sing and perform very nicely her

a student at the Moler College, 435
Wabash avenue, where she very easily
mastered the art OF chiropody and
manicuring, and she is meeting with
success in conducting a fine beauty
and manicuring parlor in the down
town district, and some OF the best
ladies in this city are numbered
among her patrons.
For some years, Mrs. Green has
been a member Of the congregation Of
Grace Presbyterian Church, and her
husband, Mr.. Philip Green, is one Of
Chicago's best citizens; he faithfully
served it for % years and six months
as an efficient policeman, without

All in all, Mr.. and Mrs. Green are
in every way an honor to the Afro

veal themselves in the effort to keep
Negroes out OF certain parts Of the
city. Time and again white real es-
tate agents have held meetings and
resolved not to rem or sell to Col
| ored people. Whenever a ColOred
family has come into a section a great
outcry has been raised and unless the
property there was very high-priced
or was so far away from the main
body Of the Colored people, that few
cared to go there, the entire neigh
borhood has been soon deserted by
the whites and become Negro terri
tory.
In the theatres, the managers have
a way OF iim-crowing Negroes by sell
ling them tickets all in one row. Not
a little trouble has been had by those
who nave purchased seats in other
than these Colored colonies.
In the schools near Colored neigh
borhoods the whites who have not
moved away, seek 20 have their chill
dren transferred to other schools.
From these instances and others
that might be cited, it is evident that
jim-crowism is making rapid progress
in Chicago. And some Of the Col
ored people themselves are helping
it along. Already one hears whisper
ings of how much advantage It would
be to Negroes II they could have sep
arate schools. They say it would give
Colored teachers work. Hence for
a few jobs, some Negroes are willing
to be cooped OF by themselves with
inferior advantages and with a door
left open for further invasions Of their
rights. Verify the CRATER is abroad
in the land
The latest concrete example OF Jim
crowIsm is the prospective Negro Y.

this plan see a world Of good in it;
they hope to get the hundreds Of Ne

pool rooms and saloons: but we may

They will get those people who do
not particularly need aid: while those
who do, will go on with their world

they? They deserve as much credit .
for going on their independent way
as for travelling to heaven by a back
alley. One could not be sure that az

a jim-crow route to glory, that he
would not ind a jim-crow Paradise

Mr.. standish was mad when be went
into the millinery establishment and
the longer he stayed the madder be
got Presently be walked over to a
stunning black creation that hung on
peg near the window and said:
aThis is the bat want to see you
about"
The proprietor came forward.
"What can / do for your" he asked.
ssYou can tx this hat over the way
my wife asked you TO-" said Standish
fxplosiyely. "she wants the feather
put on the other side, that bow moved
20 the front, and she wants the rim
to bulge a little more over the tenn
pies"
Seeing a guilty flush creep over the
proprietor's face. Standish went on
with increased heat:
"she says You have refused to make
any alterations on the ground that a
stitch added to or subtracted from the
hat Is bound to ruin It, but tell you
that's all nonsense. My wife knows
how she wants her hat to look, and IL
she can't stand up for her rights IN do
1t for her. She is coming around this
afternoon TO try the hat on again. II
1t isn't ready by that time there will
be no end OF row"
The proprietor twirled the black hat
on his forehnger and looked from 1t to
the head saleswoman lugubriously.
Il remember" he said. that the lady
who ordered that hat did bring 1t back
yesterday to be remodeled. Perhaps 1t
win be possible to make the altera-
tons suggested after all"
The managers humility made Stand
ish feel very proud OF himself.
"That's the only way to deal with
those fellows" be said when he left
the shop. You've got to meet them on
their own level. 1t takes a man 10 do
that. No wonder women get cheated
out Of their very eyeteeth They
haven't got sand enough to say the
things that have to be said TO secure
their rights"
Throughout the day standish con
tinued to revel in self congratulations.

hour ahead Of time TO see If bis wifess
