Well Keep Wondering

nd Why is it that women are so neat and men
beso sloppy? Barring only that dissection Of the
female clan which insists on wearing boudoir
nscap to the grocery store, women never appear
Isputside their own doors in one half Of the
tosloughy, shiftess, good for-nothng array that
"a lot of good citizens Of the other sex are con-
p4inually seen in. Why is it?
~ Perhaps there is no particular virtue in be-
ding slicked up all the time, and certainly there
Sis nothing SO offensive to the hearty person of
sSmasculine gender as the well-oiled young man
Mwhose handkerchief protrudes from his coat
scsleeve, whose vest buttons look as if they had
tfbeen massaged and manicured an hour before,
s,anand who can wear patent leather shoes six
tssmonths without getting lot of hicks in them.
ii But just take the average pillar of the COM
Immunity Think about his collar for a minute.
sIf he wears one of the torturous stiff white
s1pnes, it will be smeared or else wted before
Cnoon. The soft collars fare little better and the
fellow who wears blue shirt, with collar at
11'utached, just looks as if he is on the way to
1.-THE stable no matter what part Of town you
-bomeet him in
ad This is all said in a spirit Of humility. We
pirealize that one man is at bottom as bad As
another, and if one looks a little more perk
ethan his neighbor. it is his wife who really
sedeserves the credit. It is nothing that can be
performed, we suppose, and perhaps the women
..glory in their superiority, and wouldn't have
ccttthe menfolk all spick and span even if they
wcould.
WI But person can't help wondering sometimes
Jr-why is it that woman looks so neat, and
+cher husband so doggone sloppy?

tional organization, having as its
purpose the Improvement of the. So

dead weight of0custom and preju-.
dice, which denies a large measure
of social justice to Negroes in most
parts of our country.
The League recognizes that all
problems of Negroes in cities are in
timately related with all problems
of the community and should be SO
considered
The National President is Mr.. l..
Hollingsworth Wood, a prominent
lawyer of New York City. The Ma
tional Executive Secretary is Mr.. f.
X. Jones. Headquarters are at II
Madison Avenue. New York, N. Y.
Opportunity" a national month

League. The editor of this maya
zine is also director of the Depart
ment of Research and Investigation.

trial Relations, constantly studies
and publishes information on indus
trial conditions throughout the ma |
ton, as they affect the Negro popu-

programs to reach the colored peo-
pie in the various cities where the

"Pickin' Cotton" Is the
Latest Dance Craze

NEW GoRK,---In their, fiftieth
annual convention here the Ameri-
can Teachers of Dancing are trying
out new steps with the idea of evolv-
ing new dance rhythm-somethin
typically American, free from Afri-
can and other exotic influences.
"Pickin' Cotton" is the latest
Broadway dance. You shuttle bit,
glide, lift your feet. tap once or
twice, bend as if pickin' cotton, come
to an erect position. sway and then
fox trot away. It's catchy and go
ing big, but conservative teachers
classify II as too jazzy".

whoever 1t is. is so interested. Hello
who Is that fellow over there?"
Cubby stood still and stared. In a
little open space Just ahead OF him
was bird very busy about something
just what he was doing Cubby couldn't
make out. He was queer looking bird
He was mostly brown, like the warm
brown of newly-fallen leaves in the Au-
tumn. He had some black markings on
him and Cubby suddenly discovered
that it was hard work to keep track OF
him. 1t was hard work to distinguish
him from the brown leaves about him.
His legs were not very long, but
his feet were a very good size. Cubby
looked at those feet and then he looked
at the tracks he had been noticing.
That's the fellow" he muttered.

who has made these footprints. He Is

Cubby stole forward few steps. The
stranger paid no attention to him, or
at least seemed to pay no attention to
him. Cubby took two more steps. Then
the stranger moved off two or three
steps. Excuse mel" said Cubby. do /
know you?"
The stranger looked at Cubby with
a twinkle in his big eyes, for, for his
size. his eyes were unusually big. How
should / know" said he. II know you,
and that is enough for me. I don't care
to furnish you a dinner. thank you. I'm
not quite ready to be eaten today"
Perhaps you will be tomorrow" said
Cubby, hopefully.
II doubt it," replied the stranger.
'You see, I am much more interested
In filling my own stomach than In hu-
Ing the stomach of some one else"
Il haven't heard you mention your

Really, how careless Of mel" ex-
claimed the stranger. MY name Is

politely. May our acquaintance be
