London. Mar. 22.-tNEA)-The
wives of the delegates to the Naval
Conference had the rare privilege
of taking tea with Queen Mary in
Buckingham Palace the other day,
but to the American women, at least,
there was one big disappointment
they did not meet Princess Elizabeth,
the most famous baby girl in the
world.
She is given this title advisedly,
because only three lives stand be-
tween her and the throne of Great
Britain and the British Empire
her grandfather, King George v, her
uncle, the Prince of Wales. and her
father. the Duke of York. But aside
from that. her picture has, perhaps,
been printed in more papers in more
countries in the world than that of
any living child.
Shall Not "Show Off"
It so happens that when her queen
ly grandmother entertained the dele
gates wives, Princess Elizabeth was
up north with her mother. But even
had she been in London. the Duchess
of York, and her grandmother, Queen
Mary, have a fixed determination
that the child shall not be shown
off," They want her to have a per-
fectly natural childhood. They want
to keep her unspoiled and spontane-
Gus and unselfconsciouS.
This among other reasons Is why
she is a Joy to the photographers who
have the privilege of taking her pic
lures. The little girl, who is rapidly
approaching the age of four, does not
have to be cajoled with toys and
tricks into being still for the camera
She just. as a matter of course, falls
into delightful natural poses and
beams with the joy of living. Hence
every "shot" of her is a puccess.
She is not being brought up as a
lonely child. hedged away from peo-
pie. Whenever her cousins. the

Elizabeth's nursery, where old-fash-
Toned romps are in order, followed by
a tea for the kids.
Waves At Crowds
One of the little girls biggest
treats is the daily drive in a motor
car, which she takes every afternoon,
unless a fog Or a heavy rain prevents.
Right at present she appears in a
furry beige-colored coat and beige
silk bonnet. She nc longer sits on the
lap of her nurse, but on a seat by her
self, staring with all her eyes at the
passing show. Her childish abSorp-
ton is often shattered by the sight Of
a child waving to her. Then she
just as wildly waves back.
AS fellow passengers with her, be-
sides her nurse, she usually has her
big Teddy Bear, who has been named
Bertram, a smaller one of pink plush,
and a badly battered wooden doll
which she treasures because her
grandfather, the King, gave it to her
about a year ago.
Kept Sentry Busy
Occasionally, when she visits her
grandparents at Buckingham Palace,
she plays around the gardens. And
that almost had a fatal effect on one
Of the sentries the other day. The
little princess passed the soldier and
he promptly stiffened up and gave the
present arms in the royal salute. The
child was not sure that this was in
tended for her. For all she knew
the man was doing this to warm up,
or as part of his regular duties. So
she sauntered past him again, fixing
him with her big blue eyes. Once
more the royal salute. Princess
Elizabeth liked it. She thought 1t vas
very funny. SO for some ten minutes
she sauntered back and forth past
the man, who kept on saluting each
time. just when he was getting very
fatigued. a non-commissioned officer
noticed what was goin on and tact
fully suggested to the nurse that the
child had better be called off before
she exhausted a very valuable men,

What a wonderful collection of
items about Negroes this man has!
Within the compass of sixty odd
folios he has amaSSed material
dealing with such topics as the Ne
gro in Africa, slavery, Haiti, LII
IBERIA, current history, art, politics,
crime, anthropology, drama, music,
the N.A.ACP. and pugilism. There
are also special books concerning
Jack Johnson, DR.. Dubois, Fred
erick Douglass and Booker T.
Washington.
1t is a diversified and complete
work. Of course it is impossible to
adequately treat all Of these topics
within the limits OF this short
article. Our purpose will be to
mention some of the interesting
things that Gumby has collected
lust to show what his scrap books
are like.
We have all given receipts for the
sale of goods but how many have
seen receipts given for the sale of
human beings. Gumby exhibited
a paper yellowed with age which
acknowledged the payment of a
sum of money for the sale of q Ne
gro female slave. The woman was
described with the same particular
ity as one would describe a type
writer. The white man who made
the sale was so illiterate, that he
had to make his mark instead OF
signing his name.
The subject of slavery in the
United States forms an important
part of the collection. Gumby
showed copies of the American
Anti-Slavery Almanac, published in
18S6-37-38. In March, 1886 the
Almanac states that white man
named George Storrs was arrested
for delivering an anti-slavery ad-
dress IN a New Hampshire church.
For the commission of this crime,

Our friend was very fortunate to
secure twelve issues of the Ne11
York Herald, published from the
time Lincoln was shot, until the
day he was buried at Springfield,
Illinois.
Letters of great personages are
always interesting to succeeding
generations. The writer's often re-
veal traits and angles of their
character that are little known to
the general public. While looking
through the various folios, we saw
several original letters written by
Negroes whose names are famous
There was an epistle penned by
the redoubtable Frederick Doug
lass, when he was in an angry
mood, due to some deception prac-
ticed on him. He refers to his de-
ceiver as scoundrel. Gumby has

Naturally it is of no value today

item, it is very rare.
The American Negro is rapidly
being recognized as a powerful fac
tor. Just recently certain London
producers announced that Paul
Robson will play Othello in that
famous play of Shakespeare's. Do
not forget, however, that pioneer
colored actor, Ira Aldridge, who
played the part of Othello many
years ago. He was a famous theS-
plan at time when only white
actors were considered competent
to play Negro parts. Consequently
Aldridge's rendition of the part
was superior to many of the burnt
cork whites who essayed the role.

questions and answers, which ex-
plains that this woman is killing
her children rather than have them
grow up in the bonds of slavery.
Of course in dealing with this
subject, one cannot omit the life
of the Great Emancipator. Gumby
has a small pamphlet, published in
1860, which prints in full the fam

EFT THOSE who consider the keeping of scrapbooks

twenty-five years ago. At first he just collected
odds and ends that interested hm-ltte items that he
thought worth saving Of since he is colored
his clippings in large part concerned with the dongs
of Negroes It was not long before Gumby had become fam

known to most of his friends 1t here that friend
stumbled on sad truth.
He found that Negroes those relatively we'll in

When Gumby finally realized this he decided to collect all
