Cruohes Out of Fashion.

There was time when hostesses
prided themselves on the numbers Of
people they had at their parties. Once
they asked all and sundry. so that they
could afterward boast Of what big
affair 1t was
But they found that nobody really
enjoyed these 'crushes." There was
not room enough. They left the house
feeling much more annoyed than If
they had not been invited. So now ex-
perienced hostesses limit guests to a
number they can comfortably enter
tain. Nobody has to stand all the
evening because there are not enough
chairs. Nobody finds himself wedged
in corner whence it is impossible for
him to extricate himself.

stakeholder he was perfectly willing
to increase his holdings many times
in order that the work should go on.
Others present expressed similar
willingness. But Mr.. Middleton again
said that if the pooling plan failed
the directors would put up the money
and sink the we'll as far as their
means would permit. Crary said he
was confident the pooling plan would
go through and the $4,000 or 1000
necessary to pay indebtedness and
complete the work be raised in that
manner
Committee ADULTS Books.
A committee. consisting of Henry
Goldwater, w. B. Mack and Walter
B. Crammatte, recently audited the
books Of the company, at the request
of a number of stockholders. and Mr..
Goldwater had the report of the CON-
mittee at the meeting. but, resting
on the assurances of Messrs. Middle
ton and Crary, the report was not
read. The report is an exhaustive re-
sumo of the company's affairs. ami
dwells at length on the wasteful
management in the past year. and
on the loose bookkeeping methods
adopted.
The report of the secretary cannot
be said to be satisfactory, nor suffi-
GENTLY explicit This report should
have been printed, and copies fur
nished the stockholders, SO that they
could have followed it's reading and
asked explanations when desired.
For instance, the value placed on 1927
acres of land and a bunch of almost
expired leases, 1899 10000 is rather
in the nature of joke.
However, the stockholders went in
to this knowing it was gamble to
find oil, yet they are convinced that
oil in paying quantities Is there, and
they will be perfectly content If the
directors will sink the we'll to a final
conclusion.

AS for the etiquette which governs
invitations to Dances. let 1t be said
that If the affair is to be formal one
the invitations are issued from two
to three weeks in advance. If the
party Is an informal one then a short
note may be written by the hostess
herself to each guest week or SO be-
fore the affair is to take place. or If
she prefers she may extend the invita-.
ton over the phone. which Is consid-
cred quite proper for informal parties.

The 6oastinu Girl,

In the matter of that much desired
thing which we call popularity, there
is a great temptation for young women
to boast Of the number of social en-
gagements that have filed their calen.
dars. 1t is not unusual to hear q girl
talk of the number Of bouquets she
has had sent to her during the dance
season. This same girl will wonder
out loud what she Is going to do with
all the requests from gentlemen to
take her to the theater, musicales, re.
ceptions and dances. 1t Is really a vul.
gar Haunting of popularity and is a
mark Of i'll breeding.

Seating Guests.

The seating of guests Of honor at a
dinner Of ceremony is often perplex
ing problem to host and hostess. 1t
will simplify matters considerably to
remember that the host with the lady
guest of honor goes into the dining
room first
The lady sits ut the right Of the host
and others follow. each lady being seat
ed at the right of the gentleman whom
she accompanies. The hostess comes in
last with the gentleman guest Of honor
who sits at her left. By this procedure
lady is at the right Of each gentle
man. no matter how many guests there
are at the table.

1t is not good style or good sense to
put young girls into elaborate evening
dresses. which probably can be worn
only once or twice before they are out
grown. A girl should never wear
really low necked dress at all till she
puts up her hair and comes OUT In
her first ball gown.

NEGRO JOB-HUNTERS.

Since the defeat Of Gov. Ebcrhart
at the Republican Primary election,
many Negroes are applicants for the
positions held by Messrs. Billy Will
liams and Geo. l.. Hoagc at the State
Capitol Such action is premature
and born of ignorance. Should pres
ent nCumbcnts follow the present
Governor they will support Mr.. Lee
the republican candidate, and if cf-
ficent will get recognition from him.
They were true to their faction of the
party and now that Mr.. Lee and Mr..
Ebcrhart have lunched together, (crow
may have been served and eaten) we
expect a unity Of their respective fol-
lowers. Should the Negro inCumbents
follow any other candidate than vic
toriOuS one, there may be some cause
for action by applicants. Negroes
should study the political situation
and intclligently make demands. The
Editor of the Star has neither held or
sought office in Minnesota but we
have confidential chat and job
for any Negro, who can't find any
job other than one held by a Negro.
If we do not aspire to other POSITIONS
we will never be more represented in
state employment. Try sometime to
get white mans job and one now
held by white man. The political
patronage of the state regardless Of
parties; is limited to only two ap-
pointive positions in the Governors
office and we know that there will not
be real contention (0 for one OF
them. If politician attempts TO pull
this job stunt on you, make him show
you better chances. and if he can't:
he has been kidding you because of
your apparent ignorance. Get wise.

APPRECIATION.

We believe that the efforts of the
Women's Clubs, especially of Mime
sofa should be given unlimited space
in our columns. We have always at
tended their gatherings when able and
always reported their proceedings
often times criticized their apparent
neglect of their work. But the Star
encourages the work everywhere,
knowing that it represents the noblest
ideals of true womanhoOd, and is a
womans greatest legacy to postcrity.
We thank the ladies of the Federation
for many honors granted us. and hope
to see the day when the Negro press
will give as much publicity to their
work for "Our men, women and chill
dren" as they do to many other less
important affairs.-Chas. Sumner
