THE WAYS of WHITE FOLKS"

by LANGSTON HUGHES)
1.-THE Ways of white folks.
1 mean some white folks
They are certainly very trying ways
for a white person to read about. No
single contact between the races as
described in this book is satisfactory.
One of the characters, Arnie, brought
up by white folks, first finds happi-
ness when he goes to a gathering a
mong his own race. For the first
time in his life Arnie was happy.
Somebody had offered hiR something
without being nice" According to
without prayer, without distance and
wihou being NICE" According to
Langston Hughes picture, contact be-
tween the two races never makes for
friendship. White folks ways aEe
not natural ways. Sometimes they
are terrible and we have the too fam
iliar lynching at the end, sometimes
they are cond~escending, and the Ne
gro escapes as o as he can Inc
two worlds meet ia friendly
sympathy.
The stories vary greatly. Little
| Dog, to my mind the best, shows the
owe that a lonely white working wo-
man gives to her Negro %janitor and
the complete Inconsistencies of the
j%anitor. The little dog brings the two
together for a few minutes OF the day,
Of course, in the end, tbs white wo-
man runs away. Poor Little Black
Boy shows the good intentio.ed but

1t is an excellent sign that thousands

WINGS

by LEN DE CAUx

washington Up America is a
middle class country" declared Up
ton Sinclair. And even as he spoke
these words in Washington, guns
were barking in a dozen textile towns.
The guns did not speak the same Ian
guage as Sinclair. Hired by a small
owning class, they shouted death and
terror to q large working class. Sin

ether camp when the bate ines were

to rank rs CAPT lists. If one half the

Ii Sinclair wot5 reread his own
books. however, he would see q diff

too for his conversion to the idea that
the middle class are Americas chosen
people to lead us to a promised land.
Jus. whan Washington has had at
last to recognize the existence Of the
work.n..g class explicitly in all its leg

are -7stitating into which camp to
jump. as monopoly cuts the ground
from under them-Sinclair leaps into
national prominence and says: Il was

&ering democrecy We have a work
ing c-ass. but they@don.t& know it.
What we have to do is to talk to the
middle class. te 4A !
Sinclair did not mention the textile
strike in his Washington speech: he
did not mention any strikes But
national readers of the textile union
interrupted their round of strike dut-
les long enough to listen to his talk.
What they thought of it, they refused
TO tell curious reporters. But if they
bought back through American labor
history, they may lave reflected that
the Sinclair phenomenon was nothing
but an old friend bobbing up again
another movement essentially MIDDLE
class, but seeking labor support.

danger is that partner may have four diamonds and, believing that he now has a fit with your hand, will support it, and then you never are able to get into his hand.
 The Play
 West, naturally, refuses to lead away from his ace-queen of clubs and opens the king of hearts. which South wins with the ace and then picks up the outstanding trump. He then cashes the ace, king, and queen of diamonds.
 His only hope for an extra trick now is to try to throw West into the lead, and force him to lead up to the king of clubs. But West wisely plays the ten of hearts on the next trick.
 East must overtake the trick with the jack to lead a club otherwise, four-odd would be made.
 Many players might make the mistake of not overtaking their partners ten with the jack, but this, indeed, would be a careless play, as partner had refused to open the suit that he bid, which shows that he must have held a tenace position in 1t. Copyright 1884 NEA Service. Incl

It was worn last night by Jean Cashman.
 A goodly touch of humor was added to the program when ex-Gov Charles A. Templeton appeared in a gown of white satin which he had worn previously when in the cast of "Womanless Wedding" pre- sented by a Masonic order. Carry ing out all the essentials of mod cling he walked the runway in a truly professional manner.
