Il
for when / came in touch with an
enterprising young woman, Miss
Pauline j. Lee, and l would that all
the people OF Chicago knew this
young woman, and what she is doing
for the whole race. If there was ever
an enterprise that deserved support
and attention it is this National Mu-
steal School, the only one Of its kind

little woman at its head. 1t was in

Charles Stewart, and what do you
think, they had some turkey. He told
me that it was a Christmas leftover
and Mrs. Stewart said that she had
been saving it for me to enjoy, for
which it is my desire to thank her
right now. She is one more cooking
woman. I saw Charles Stewart, Jr.,

as it Is finished, and that will Be a
great time.
I talked with DR.. Townsend and
learned Of the death of another great
