HARLEM STIRRED OVER SEC
OND "RHINELANDER"
CASE

New York Calvin Service)-
Not since the cause celebre of
Leonard Kip Rhinelander and his
devoted Alice has Harlem had a
court battle of major Importance
over an inter-racial romance, as
that which now looms in the case
of the late Arthur w. Frost, sugar
magnate, whose millions are to be
wrested from his colored wife,
Mrs. Julia Fredericks Frost, and
nouncement by Mrs. Ann Worthley
of Mt. Vernon, a niece of the de-
ceased, who is representing blue
blooded relatives in Long Island,
Boston, and California.
Married Servant
Mr.. Frost, who ruled a huge
sugar plantation in San Pedro de
Marcois, Dominican Republic, from
beautiful tropical villa, Consuelo,
is said to have fallen in love with
his housekeeper, and after years of
companionship, married his ser
want and legitimized her daughter,
making her his legal heir.
White Relatives Fight
Only a few weeks ago the Frost
clan on Long Island brought an
action in Supreme Court tying up
the septuagenarian's bank &C
count, and seeking to declare him
incompetent to administer his af-
fairs, all because the white end of
the family feared the sugar mil
lions would go permanently to the
colored end of the Frost clan.
Before this action could be de-
cided, death stepped in and re-
moved the aged sugar king. Now
action is said to be in process in
San Domingo to set aside the mar
riage of March z, last year, and
to disinherit the daughter, Maria
Fredericks.
FrOst's Last Statement
In answer to the proceedings
brought against him a few weeks
ago, which now stands as his last
statement, Mr.. Frost said: "The
only reason my relatives are try
ing to have me declared incom-
petent is because of their fear
that they will not get my property.
They have taken no interest in me
in the past. / am not interested in
them, and they are not interested
in me, except that they hope to
obtain my property by this illegal
proceeding"

OF course, there are many

They re smart and becoming
to many types. They look alb
Solutely new, and perhaps
that s why they re good. Other
excellent types are those

they re all different-gay as
can be, and the new crown

Your letter, giving fuller ac-

long to print. But enough has been
given to show that these girls have
absolutely no regard for their good

world has a very ugly name for
girls who, while living at home,
disregard the decencies of life.
It mightn't be bad idea to try
the same remedy one mother tried.

her learn something about the

When Manners Are Correct - B,

Why not send the plant or the

with a fine letter of thanks?
Another excellent gift chat you
might like to consider would be

forth. This gift looks so gay e.
and is so delightfully."- practical!
What a relief 1t is to have
people plan a party as a party,
and not as an occasion for the
giving of gifts It's refreshing. So
when you write your invitations
to your mothers party, it will
not at all be necessary to mention
that it is birthday party.
You may, of course, tell your
guests after they have arrived, for
naturally they will want to con-
gratulate your mother and offer
their birthday wishes.

bands mother would be seated

CPEAKING Of turbans, here's
- one of the smarteSt we've
found. It's called the "OrientaI" ,
because of the very decided Asiatic
look to the twist. It's considered
the ideal hat for both North and
South, as it goes with so many
things. In a correct fabric, it will
be good with the little suit you are
buying now to wear under a fur
coat, and without coat later. In
pastelS it is lovely with dresses and
suits for cruise and resort wear.
Best thing about it, it come in
four different fabrics, at prices for
every pOcketbook, and in every
good color. In jersey or crepe, 1t
is priced S1.95, in grOSgrain rib
bon it is $2,95, and in lovely soft
basketweave, it is S.. The pastels
and bright cOlOrs are lovely. and
there are hats in beige, navy, brown
and black for suits and coats.
The Jersey and crepes, in dark
cOlors, will be good with your
dresses, both in plain dark cOlOrS
and prints. The ribbon and basket
weave hats will be better with suits
and coats. But look for yourself

Gently, and having a birthday

but circumstances at their home
are such that nothing can be

Their mother is extremely

management. How can 1 ask these
children and tell them not to
bring gifts, without hurting any
ones feelings?
Fortunately my little daughter
has all she needs, and we want
the party "as a party" and not for
the preSntS. Is there some way
the invitation can be worded
which would make this clear?
The children do know that it is
her birthday.
