dertaker," 'The Negro Bar Associa-

ture," "Wholesale Commission Pro-
duce" and "Ice Cream Manufacturing"
The arrangements for the entertain
ment Of the guests included, among
other things, banquet Friday night
and ap excursion Saturday up the Del
aware river as far as Burlington is
land and visit to League island.
where the visitors were shown aboard
the mighty sea fighters of Uncle Sam
lying there at anchor. The banquet
was attended by fully 1000. 1t was
held in Horticultural hall, Philadel-
phia's most splendid assembly hall,
which was brilliantly decorated and
illumined for the occasion. The deco
rations, the handsome women in stun
ming gowns, men in full evening dress
and enhancing music presented the
most brilliant sight ever witnessed
among the Negroes Of the Quaker City.
1t was the consensus Of opinion here
that no meeting Of Negroes heretofore
held in this city made such splen-
did impression or was more inspiring
or served as great an incentive to the
race as this meeting Of the National
Negro Business league. The white
citizens, conscious of the splendid ef-
feet 1t would have and fully apprecia-
tive Of the character Of men it would
bring to the city, We'd with the Ne
groes in doing honor to the visitors.
The influence left will doubtless be
shown in the establishing Of many
new business enterprises and the i'm
provement and expansion Of those al
ready established.

IN SOCIETY
By Mary Gwynn Whiteman Telephone l42

The Ardmore people who frequent
the movies viii certainly miss Miss
Hunter for she is quite as popular as
hen pictures, and there may be a
prettier girl in the films on the in
side than there is in the window on
the outside, but you can't get many
of the Ardmore folk to believe it.
Miss Hunter is one of the most de-
serving as well as one of the most
attractive girls in town, Even before
her high school days she had deter
mined to earn her own livelihood an'
had thought of music, in which she
displayed considerable talent. However
when the time for decision came the
for making money in the
movies attracted her and she opened
a theatre on Main street In those
days she sang each night and played
the piano while her sister sold the
tickets. She has learned the business
and has made a financial
success Of it.

the streets of the native city and
along the wharves have the simplest
kind of furnace supporting a kettle.
Chinese cooding is either stewing or

possible purposes. In the Chinese
