Thousands.

Mr.. (. Murray, of 1910 u Street
Northwest, this city, has for more
than thirty years conducted and de-
veloped to a high degree the catering
business, giving satisfaction to a very
large and particular patronage Mr..
Murray has not only engaged IN the
business of catring, but he has devel-
Oped large ice cream business, which
he manufactures with his own plant.
Murray's ice cream has become the
favorite cream of hundreds of fastid-
Ious people of Washington All the
finest flavors, cOlors and molds are
obtainable at Mr. Murray's establish
ment. MI Murray has also gained
for himself great praise for excel
lence of the salads and the prepara-
ton Of oysters in various styles.
Many OF the most famous suppers,
luncheons and dinner parties and
weddings have been successfully man
aged by this favored caterer Among

POPULARITY.

Popularity is frequently a tickle
thing, and frequently the popular
man is the man who is popular SIM
ply because he has done nothing to
merit or attract attention. Men
who do things are the men who are
assailed by smaller men. Men who
do nothing are the men who make
no enemies. The man who accom-
phsheS something in life, who for
gets ahead Of others must neces-
sarily be possessed of ability, and
more ability than the sap-heads and
mutton-heads who hang around the
street corners spending their time
in denouncing him. Aggressive
ness is never popular with those
who are incapable of aggressive
ness. Ability is never popular with
those of mediocre attainments who
rely upon pOmpousness of form
mere physical size-to attract at
tentlOn. We have often remarked,
in this column, that no man can rise
who spends his time decrying the
efforts of his superiors, and that
the man who nurses a fanciful
grievance which he constantly
gives evidence OF can hope to be.
tolerated by men who are busy
making good in life. There is a
false notion existing about popu-I
larlty and unpopularity. Frequent
~ the unpopular man is the man
who is worth something to a peo-
pie and community, because he
has and IS contributing to the sum
total Of achievements. And fre-I
quently the supposedly popular
man is, in the final analysis, the
man who simply looks wise, atti-
tudinizes, displays woeful ignor-
ance every time he opens his mouth
10 speak, and who contributes moth
ing to his people or his community
that bears the stamp of worth. The
public, though tickle at times, per-
haps, can always be depended upon
to put the proper appraisementI
upon men, and the man who
moves around ladened down with
a crouch which he refuses to un-
load is usually appraised, even by |
his friends, as an almost intolerable |
bit of humanity. Those who seek
during 1912, should
bear in mind, and reflect seriously
upon it, that popularity does notI
signify either ability, |
worth or real achievements. 1t is
better to strive to accomplish good |
than to strive to become popular.

MORALISTS.

A moralist j. a person who al
ways finds imperfections in other
people, although he, himself, may
be as corrupt as sin. The news
paper moralist is more of a liber-
tine and scOundrel than the preach
er. The preacher who condemns
drinking and daring IS often
charged with having committed
immoral acts. Some preachers are
as dangerous to society as the man
who condemns immortality of 9th
erS to enable him to hide his own
villany. Outwardly, the so-called
confronts his accuSers,
and at night you can see him sneak
ing in his upper story, headed or
preceded by some fair sex. The
Bee is aware of just such individ-
uals in this community. Deliver

FALSE LEADERSHIP.

What the colored Americans
have to contend with is false lead
ership. This leadership is more
prevalent now than it has ever been
since their emancipation. The
present-day leadership is how it is
to remain i'll power for self aggran-
dizement. It is more of a social
nature than it is political. Politi-
cal leadership among cOlored
Americans is not a good farce.
There is no leadership in existence
today, so far as the colored Amer
e ican is concerned We need a lead
erShip based upon a solid founda-
ton; a leadership that commends
the respect and admiration of this
civilized world. Does such lead
ership exist. or has it ever existed
since the davS OF Bruce. LangSton
Douglass. Hill. Lynch. Donning
and others? There IS a leadership

Mr. and Mrs Raymond Taylo-. of
Philadelphia, Miss Carrie Whiting, Of

of Petersburg, Va. The dresses worn
by the ladies were all pretty, but those
worn by Miss Mary L. Dorsey and
Miss Eva L. Stokes, were certainly
worthy of special mention. Miss
Dorsey also wore a very pretty neck
lace, which, we feel sure, was a
Christmas present from the Atlantic
City party. The menu was far above

why it was so elaborate, when we

and an excerpt from Rossini's "Stabat

the prima donna of the Choral Union,
and Mr.. P H. Lumpkins, the tenor
soloist each acquitted themselves
most creditably, and won great ap-
plause Miss Martha E. Buckner and
Mr.. Johnson accompanied the Choral
Union with combined organ and piano
accompaniment. Miss Buckner pre-
sided at the organ and Mr.. Johnson
at the piano. Mr.. Frank Simms, who
made his debut as a baritone soloist,
exhibited a voice of much volume
and rare sweetness. Miss Alta Scott,
of Howard University, sang in her
usual pleasing way, with an air that
never fails to win her Alexandria au-
