INQuIsITIvE SAL
By Ess Lii Bradley, .'Pinch Hitter

By this time Inquisitive Sal is II
the midst of enjoying her honey
moon, so my dear friends of hen
column, you'll have to stand me foI
one more week. l sincerely hope
you'll be very happy, Sal, and my
heartiest congratulations to the
lucky groom. /. Myrtle Garden
of the Halle @. Brown Community
House, who is now mentioning In
Philadelphia, is sporting a beau
tiful headdress. It's too lovely. !
noticed it at the Henderson, Ridley
wedding. AS I remember she said
that Lola Vassar did the work. .
Had card yesterday from Aida
Christian Smith (LeOn's best half
who is mentioning in Chicago. She
sent picture of the boat on which
she was a guest at the Kappa boat
ride last Thursday on Lake Michi-
gan. Following the boat ride, they
swung on down at the Club De
Lisa. She also mentioned seeing
Lois Sutton. Speaking of post
cards, also had one from Lucille
Howell Hargrave who is avisiting
way down in BAN. From the no
tations on the card, she will have
put on a few pounds by the time
she arrives back home. Not saying
that Lucy could use few pounds
extra.
Have you met the Robert Will
sons? If you haven't, you must.
Robert gets his claim to fame
through his piano playing (Which
isn't bit bad), and his wife, Ruby,
gets hers through the way she uses
her eyes and gets off the smart
cracks. She really has a different
personality. Oh, yes, the Wilson's
are three, a cute little trick named
SOndra who can easily claim fame
for the original way she Susie
Q's. -.
Speaking of Robert Wilson re-
minds me that Johnny Banks told
me that Robert was playing the
piano Monday evening in the Ron
do Cafe and the BrOwnskin Models
happened to be about with their
bus-load of instruments-and right
then and there on the spot a too
tight jam session took place. They
were a swinging on down so saith
the Johnny. :.
Bee Edwards was over the other
evening and remarked that she had
a card from Adele Graham who so
recently went to the District of
Columbia to live. Dell is having
grand time, and all this prejudice
that she was looking for she can't
seem to find. Same thing was true
when l had the good fortune to be
living in Washington-the kind of
prejudice you run into down there
doesn't make much difference, and
after spending a life time almost
in this neck of the woods, you just
enter into things and have a good
time. -.
Saw Victoria Stokes Robinson
last week, and was she ever looking
good. Victoria seemingly has a
new personality, new figure, and
a new hairdress which just about
makes her over completely. She
was here from Chicago with her
brand new hubby, Joseph. She is
doing social work in Chicago, and
hubby is working in the govern
ment service. Said she sees my
girl friend, Rachel GOOden, quite
often and other Saint Paulites. i.
By the way Rachel is living at the
Grand Hotel in Chicago, attending
the Chicago gu" part time, and
the rest of the time is doing social
work and enjoying herself, know.
Tall slender Esther Luster from
st. Louis who is visiting here and
tall, dark, and handsome Delmar
Woods of Carroll avenue make a
nice couple.
Walter Ridley, from Virginia
State, who has so recently taken
marriage vows, was living at Pho
neer Hall, Mems dormitory on the
University of Minnesota campus,
before he married. His being able
to live there is probably the answer
to the long drawn out fight that
has been waged with University
officials for this privilege. It was
about a year ago that Warren
Grissom and Charlotte Crump OF
the Minnesota Negro Council were
leading the battle. -.
Betty Murphy of the Afro-Amer-
lean Murphys Of Baltimore will be

fashionable garden wedding il

have been received in the SANITY
City by her friends. Betty attend
