dance without an escort? When a
couple spends an evening at home
how should the girl entertain?
ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
AnsWer-An escort is always an
advantage to a girl. BY his pres
ence he places the seal of his
approval on her which tends to
make her more desirable to others.
Whether or not it hurts your pop
ularity to appear at dance with
out an escort depends on your
skill at sharing one from the as
sembled dancers. Some girls are
welcome wherever they appear
because they are friendly, lively
and entertaining companions.
When a couple spends an eve
ming at home the girl has to be
good converSationalist to keep the
boy interested. If he is talkative,
then her cue is to be a good lis
tener. A mutual admiration So
ciety usually makes for pleasant
evening. If neither of you talks
well, yoG might play cards, or in
vite other young people to join
you.

nearly a thousand dollars which would
otherwise have been invested in Flo
rian's proposed night-club.
The one thing which hurt the worst
was the certainty that Twitty was
fraud. For one thing. Captain Twitty
claimed great things for Cumbo -
and the public believed. It believed,
for instance, that Cumbo Saba was an
expert in the art Of conjuring. He had
knowledge. boasted ]. Arthur. OF
strange and weirdly efiicacious roots
and herbs. He could cast spells and in.
woke spirits.
Florian realized that his last forlorn
hope lay in exposing Gumbo Saba as a
fake, and he set himself the task of
spying on the Twitty-Saba domicile.
Three or four times Florian managed
to converse with Stanza. but although
she was cordial and sympathetic, she
reported that thus far she had dis
covered no symptoms of fakery.
Time flew. Thursday arrived. all too
swiftly. All the day long decorator
were busy at the lodge rooms, arrang-
ing for the gala farewell banquet. BY
seven-thirty that night the hall was
jammed.
Florian Slappey was present, seated
forlornly in a far corner. On a raised
platform just beyond the lower end Of
the speakers table stood Gumbo
Saba. resplendent in much white
paint. grass skirt, wristlets. anklets,
nose ring and ear decorations. Captain
J. Arthur Twitty wore his whitest
outfit and his biggest pith helmet.
Captain Twitty made q loud speech.
''Bummin ham is a swell town." he
declared. 1T almost makes me re-
gretful I got to leave heah. But, my
friends, me an Gumbo Saba amt
never happy less'n US is on safari. So
tomorrow US is gwine leave town -
befo' you can shake a stick, US is
gwine be back heah all loaded down
with dImonds an rubies an solid
gold. I says to you-all that -"
The Captain abruptly ceased talk
ing. There was noise at the door: the
sound Of scufiaing and of hoarse invec.
Evening star., 1935-04-21

Florian's face flushed. "Oh, yeah? 1
reckon you is so smart. Well. listen
at me. White Hat - there's one man
in Bummin' ham knows you fo' what
you is. an his name is Florian
Slappey."
"Who he?"
Florian moved into the crowd and
shook his fist in J. Arthur's direction.
Zone Of these days you is gwine be
sorry you puck on me, Mistuh Congo"
"Commencin' when?'
"Commencin' right away. I'll show
you one thing. :" 1t behooved Flo
rian to depart with dignity. Put this
in yo' pipe an smoke it, Two-Bit:
Tomorrow night I got date with yo'
gal. Stanza, an less'n you be good, I
amt gwine leave her see you no mo-"
All that night and throughout the
day which followed Mr.. Slappey gave
himself over to unhappy contempla-
ton Of his predicament. He left the
solitude of his room at Sis Callie
Flukers' boarding house only once and
then to ask the pulchritudinous
Stanza Creech for a date. En- route
back to Sis Callie's the heavens COM
menced to weep with him and the
streets of the little negro settlement
became converted into masses of
sticky red clay.
At eight o'clock that night Florian
piloted rented car into the muddy
roads of Tittisville, dashed through
the rain and thence onto the veranda
of the Creech cottage. He said ''hello''
to Stanza's large father, julius. and
settled himself unhappily on the
veranda.
Thirty minutes later something
happened. From down the alley came
shouts and screams. and the drippy
monotone of the night was rent by the
roar of shotgun and howl of terror.
The hoarse voice of Captain J. Arthur
Twitty winged up the alley on rain
drenched air.
''Stanza!" he yelled. ''Stanxa Creech!
Git inside an lock the dol Gumbo

Miss Creech gave vent to a scream

Slappey departed at once.
He reached the street in two large
leaps. He slipped. slid and skidded on
the red clay, and heard the shrieks of
the pursuing Gumbo. Twice he
sprawled in the mud but each time he
scrambled to his feet and achieved a
fresh speed.
Suddenly the sinister aspect of Mr..
Slappey's plight altered. First Of all.
Cumbo Saba abandoned the chase;
secondly, the alley adjoining the
Creech home disgorged a score of
Birmingham colored folk. And to
Florian's ears came the sound of
laughter - of loud. unrestrained. jeer-
ing. haunting. derisive laughter. And
then the voice of Captain ]. Arthur
Twitty:
'Okay. Floriani You can sneak
back now. I'se gwine to proteck your
It was then that Florian Slappey
understood that the master indignity
had been inflicted upon him. He had
been made the victim of a coarse,
heavy joke; he had been rendered
publicly ridiculous. He looked down
to his new cream aannels, hopelessly
ruined by his wallowings in the red
clay of Tittisville: he gave ear to the
ribald remarks flung after him: he
sank instantly into hitherto un.
plumbed depths Of misery.
He sllnk up the street and crawled
into his car.

adulation of his hated enemy, ambled

moodily down Eighteenth Street and
turned into Fourth Avenue. There was

illuminated portals of the Champion

markets. URGED
FOR VIRGINIA

RICHMOND, Va, May 2S.
Construction of large modern mar"
keting centerS in/26 Virginia cities
with PWA funds was urged upon
John Galleher, national emer'
gency council director, today, by
j. H. Meek, director Of the divi-
sion Of markets of the State de-
partment Of agriculture.
A program Of the proper scope
would cost 100000, Mr.. Meek
said.
The State Department pointed
out that most of the cities Of
Virginia, despite the fact that
their populations have multiplied
many times in the last so years,
are "muddling along" today with
the same facilities for handling
food supplies that they had half
a century ago.
Mr.. Meek argued before the
emergency council director that
Federal funds should be used in
building the new terminals to the
extent that such projects would
increase employment.
He added:
"These projects would provide
employment for a great many
jObless men Immediately, and
would improve the distribution
of foods, which would benefit
perhaps half the people Of the
State. Quarters could be rented
at low rates sufficient to retire
the loans within a reasonable
time and would make the
projects SeIf.liquidating with the
exception of the Federal
money"
