A Trip To The
ShOeStOre

The style show given Friday
night, October 10, at the Williams
Ave. Y. w. c. A., by the Bethelite
Club proved a very pretty affair.
Fall leaves and tree branches,
palm and fern plants adorned the
walls and the stage of the gymna-
SUM.
Members of Klub Kredyuefawn
gave a skit which was highly
comical titled, IA Trip to the
Shoestore." Acting were the
Misses Josephine Dancey and Jes-
sic Flowers, the Messrs. Jack
Holsclaw and Harold Morriss.
The scene of the style show took
place at the fashionable Madame
Yvonne's Gown Shoppe. Madame
Yvonne was enacted by Muriel
Albert, who was most coy and
exotic in her Spanish dialect. Her
patrons were Lady Dusenbergh
MRS. Clara Pickett, Cousin Kay
Mrs. Sula Williams) the niece,
maxine Brown. The Madame's
assistant was Josephine Dancy.
Her maniquins were the Misses
Christine Harris, Betty Ruther-
ford, Janice Shelton and Lerline
Gibbs; the Mesdames Jordan, Den
mis- Collins, Odessa Freeman, Ruby
Wright, Cora Minor and Carrie In
gersoll. Shoes were from Blocks
and clothes from George Lowen-
son. Incidentally, these models
would do credit to the mannequins
of Milgrim, Jay Thorpe, Bonwit
Teller, Berkdorf Goodman and 9TH
er leading women shops of Amer
lea.

The Republican President NOM
inee and his clique of propaganda
lists have a patented story for ev-
cry race and faction and a patent
ed excuse for every Republican
fault. To the Negro people he tear
fully states that the anti-lynching
bill must be passed. Yet he is be-
ing supported by Republicans who
bitterly opposed the cloture rule
which would have limited debate
on the measure and in all probab-
ility brought about its passage.
Also in Mr.. WILKES home town,
Elwood, Indiana, Negroes have
never been permitted to live or
even visit and the Republican Ma
tional Committee was compelled
to bring strong pressure to bear
on the citizens of Elwood to allow
Negroes to participate in his ac-
ceptance speech ceremonies. The
place of the Negro is with the
New Deal. I urge that we over
whelmingly support the New Deal
and that we vote the straight DEM
ocratic ticket in every state where
he New Deal is endorsed.

Helena. since the earthquake
has been struck with a building
boom, many new houses have been
erected and, in most cases, they
have been built by home owners.
No one portion of the city seems
TO have been favored as new hous-
es are spread North, East, South
and West of the city. Half a dozen
colored people have been included
in this march of expansion in build
ing and improvement of the city
1t occurred to us the other day
to make a survey of property own
ed by colored people in the city
and this is what we discovered;
There are 81 realty owners in He
lena who pay taxes on so parcels
of real estate; Mrs. B. F. Hooper
owns 4 houses; H. ]. Baker has 4,
AL Walton 8, Edward Johnson 2,
c. H. Harrel 2, Mrs. ]. w. Crump
2, and there are those who own
more than one lot What have
mentioned is improved property
Homes of colored people are not
punched as you will find in some
cities; they are everywhere, except
in the northern part in the direc-
ton of the Northern Pacific sta
ton. Some of the property men
toned is owned by persons who
are not now residents of the city.
In this collection we have not in
cluded the two buildings that be-
long to the A. M. E. church nor
the one owned by Wilder Avenue
Baptist church. Speaking OF
churches, once the center of all
social activities, they are now the
last place sought, even for those
"thirsting for the gospel"
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerry Reid of
Grant Falls were in the city Sun
day and returned carrying with
them Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Reid, who
are still, while improved, suffering
as the result of the automobile
accident.
Mrs. Joseph Mast and Miss oc-
tavia Bridgewater spent Saturday
in Butte.
The forlorn, exceedingly insistent
Helent Romeo who has been suf-
fering excessive heart-hunger, pur-
suing an ignis fatuus, need worry
no longer as to time in his quest;

will be twirling and whirling for
another 70 billion years? That, we
are sure will be long enough, and
if wishes strong enough, success will
surely be his. Alta boy!
