to the first night she stayed out late
From those double parlors, or Front
and Back, packed with old and new
friends like figs in a box-and some
times just as seedy-to clubs and
hotels with plenty Of room and fresh
air.
It was the late Katherine Elkins Hit
who wouldn't come out" and told
her handsome, stately mother that she
would simply stick out her tongue and
wink at the lifelong family friends as
they trundled down ''the line" She
had tweeked their lap dogs tails and
sicked her own beloved dogs on their
pet cats, and it seemed just as funny
to the independent. high-strung girl as
could be to put on handsome gown
and sagely bow to them. There was
but little breaking in on school or
college terms for such frivolous pas
time as coming out" parties Is years
ago. No indeed. Daughters generally
had their diplomas in one pocket and
their last love letters in the other when
they were presented.
There was then, as now, the great
honor of having their debutante
daughters invited to the White House
with papa ana mama at least once
season. and there were the stately
danes like Mrs. Richard H. Townsend
and Mrs. L. z. Letter who gave grand
balls for the White House debutante,
whenever there was one, and there al
ways were Christmas parties at Friend
ship and other suburban homes as
there are now, only different because
we are marching, motoring and flying
on times wings.
The dear matrons who were utterly,
too utterly shocked when Alice Long,
worth fox trotted in the Patterson
ballroom with 8 cigarette between her
red lips. now sit quietly by and watch
their daughters do the hootchie
kootchie and what not and sip high
balls and cocktails in night clubs after
Q long days work for sweet charity.
Change Is the word. Not flop, but
. rapidly-striding change, flashing
along the social highway since those
days when ladies with a capital l.
formed leagues against women right
erS and women voters in those dear
old days when women shuddered and
men smiled as DR.. Mary Walker took
her way mincingly along PennSyl-
vania avenue or strutted about the
Capitol in her Prince Albert coat and
vest, her well-creased trousers and
slick top hat. Now the daughters of
the same women appear in public and
where they like in riding and other
sports clothes and almost no bathing
suits at all and the world thinks no
evil of it.
And do I think the world has gone
mad in those Is years of change in
social life? Not at all. It is bigger
In heart, brighter and more generous
than ever before. Christmas is glow
ing from hundreds of public streets
where the wayfarer's mind is brought
to think Of the lowly manger while
wise and generous men and women
look after darkened homes and make
joyous the hearts of little children.

OUR PAPERS
GIVE JOBS TO
BOYS, GIRLS
BY James Beeks

II any member Of our group
should be asked why he spends
twenty-five cents per week for
white newspaper, when he can buy
any one of large assortment OF
Negro papers for five, or at the
most, ten cents, his answer would
no doubt be, Because l get news
In the white dailies of national and
international importance, that is
not to be found In our papers"
Very true, indeed. No reasonable
person can possibly find fault with
the desire to be abreast Of the
times. But have we ever stopped to
consider that the same holds good
In regard to our own papers? We
also find news of the most vital i'm
portance to usfi in the columns Of
Negro papers, which we will never
under any circumstances find in
the great dailies.
With the exception of our few
athletic champions and our crimi-
nails, the activities of our group are
not news in so far as the white
newspapers are concerned. The
outstanding performances of Ne
gro artists, professional and bust
ness men and women of our group
are only to be read about in our
own papers. What our people are
doing along constructive lines, is
news only to us; as 1t is in the col
umns of our press alone that we
will find our problems treated with
sympathy and understanding.
1t is no longer possible to pass
word of the approach of an enemy,
by beating on a tom-tom. We must
rely solely on our Negro papers to
warn us when an onslaught is.
about to be made upon our rights
of liberty; and It is to our papers
that we must look to organize and
direct our defense.
We look with pity upon those af-
flicted with dumbness; but without
the Negro press, our condition
would be identical.
The voice of the Negro Press and
that of the Negro Pulpit are the
only voices raised in our behalf,
and the service they perform is of
uncalculable value. In return, how
ever, we render our own papers
poor suppot and no thanks what
ever.
We, as a race, are great hero
worshippers, but we think little
and care less for the heroic men
and women, who, in the face of al
most insurmountable difficulties,
continue to fight our battles for us.
We should support and en-
courage our Negro Press, not only
for the reasons already given, but
for the sake Of our boys and girls
who ae graduating from high
schools and colleges to a broom
and mop-bucket. There are hun
dreds Of Negro newspapers in the
United States, employing thou
sands of colored men and women
at work which requires the use of
natural intelligence and ability.
