ing efforts in establishing the Phoe-
nix Tribune, as l believe it will to be
a great factor in establishing unity"
among the masses of the citizens of
Phoenix and a combining of each lit
tie town and hamlet for a common
good.
The Phoenix Protective League has
been a much-needed factor in Phoenix,
and I'm sure glad to hear Of its advent
il the community and hope it has
come to stay. Everything for the good
ct our people must be foremost in our
minds, and this is a time for unity, a
time TO establish a greater foothcld
for our people, because there is more
trouble coming for us to face, and pre-.
paredness is the watchword.
Efficiency is the key which will
make it possible for the Negro to sue
coed, and determination, backed by a
cooperative community, will make
things possible.
Yours respectfully,
MRS. GEORGE WHITE.

Young Folks Dance q
PICTURESQUE Affair.

The Barnetts' party, which began
with big reception in the afternoon
and wound up in the wee small hours
Of, the morning. after a young peoples
dance in the evening, was quite the
most picturesque and interesting event
of busy week; and seldom has de-
butante been more successfully
launched upon the social sea. In the
afternoon there was quite an official
tone to the assemblage, with the dip
lomats quite numerously present to
give cachet, as we'll as the cream of
resident society. The dance in the
evening was strictly youngypeople's
party.
The young married set was modestly
representative Walter Penfields We. e
there. for instance. and Mr.. and Mrs.
Sylvanus Stokes. jr., the John Remeys,
Lieut. Charles Fellowes-Gordo R N,
and his bride (Sara Price Collier) and
a few others-and the members Of Mrs.
Barnett's house party were present. with
d few such "grown-ups," as the Secre-
tary Of the Interior and Mrs. Lane. Mrs
Buchanan Merryman, cousin OF the
hostess Mrs Barnetts two sisters, Mrs.
Phillips Hill and Mrs. Henry Muslin.
and such ranking officers Of the marine
corps as Maj. Gen. Charles McCaWley'
Mai. Gen Charles Lauchheimer, Brig.
Gen. Long. and Major David Porter. ac-
companied by handsome Mrs. Porter.
For the rest. the debutante had her
day, with the dancing diplomats
Captain Snagge, Of the British embassy,
the Duke di Sangro, of the Italian en-
bassy, and Mr.. Constantinidi. Of the
Greek legation. to cite a few-most OF
the Interesting men in town and whole
grist Of handsome young marine officers
for cavaliers. Everybody had a good
time, for Mrs Barnett is perfect
hostess and takes any amount OF trou-
BILE for the entertainment Of her guests.
Her daughters, Leila Gordon. the debit
tante, and Anne Gordon, her young Sis
ter. have inherited a great deal Of their
mother, beauty and some of her wit,

gave a dance for her. to which about
100 young people were asked. Miss
Johnston is having a glorious time
this winter, both, because she is the
daughter. of Mr.: and Mrs. James
Marion, Johnston, and they know
everybody worth knowing in Wash
ington. and because she is her own
sweet, winsome self. Mamie Ham
itton was introduced at q tea-dance
at the home of her parents. Mr.. and
Mrs.. George z. Hamilton, in New
Hampshire avenue.
Miss Hamilton is a niece of Miss
Mary Merrick. that fine and sanity
woman who, although she has lain
flat on her back for over thirty
years, organized the Christ Child So
ciety and has for years been the
head Of this organization, which has
done wonderful work among. the
poor children OF Washington. There's
nothing honorary about Miss Mer-
rick's position. for il is her brain
which maps out the society's pro-
gram each year. the activities OF
every branch come under her per-
sonaI supervision, and with her own
hands she makes many Of the little
garments. the dainty lsyettks. which
help many a poor mother to solve
the problem of how another little
stranger is to be fed and clothed.
