Music, dancing and drinking start
at 9 and continue to 1880. on the
dot. There is a three-piece Or
chestra. 1t is trying to pick up
some of the latest American and
British dance music. 1t has reached
the stage of both playing and
singing in English 20, Johnnie o.
and Lambeth walk" 1t also has
learned, to the delight of visiting
Americans, Anchors Aweigh" and
the Marines Hymn.
A Society Spot.
This is the place where one breaks
into Icelandic society. First a
sprinkling of Icelanders with wives
or girl friends will arrive and order
drinks. Then the tables will fill
rapidly with British and American
marines and sailors. But trimming
the dance floor are some tables which
remain empty until all the others
are occupied. Then the Reykjavik
girls, who up to this time have been
standing in line outside, are allowed
to come in unattended.
They sit at the empty tables and
the music starts. 1t is perfectly
proper to ask any of them to dance,
but it is highly improper to make
such a proposal to one who is ac-
companied by her boy friend, even
if one knows her.
When the dance is done she must
be returned to her table. 1t would
be extremely improper for her part
ner to ask her to sit at his table
or to offer to buy a drink for her
She must order and pay for her
own drinks.
Word has sifted down from the
most eminent authorities on Ice
landic etiquette, however, that 1t is
perfectly proper while dancing to
make a date to meet her in front
of the Odd Fellows Hall. popular
Reykjavik rendezvous, Immediately
after the dance. Then one can walk
home with her. That's the way lots
of war romanceS are starting. Girls
are seen slipping out of the dance
hall all evening to keep such ap-
pointments and their places are
promptly filled by others who have
been standing in line outside for a
vacant seat. If the date doesn't
turn out satisfactorily the girl must
get back in line to get in again.
Girls Of Best Families.
This, Americans scheduled for Ice
landic service might as well know,
is the only socially sanctioned way
of finding a girl friend in Reykjavik.
Naval officers recall experiences
in Denmark while on cadet cruises,
but there the unattended girls
mother always accompanied her to
the dance. Here no mothers are
in evidence. The girls are from Ice
lands best families. They may or
may not be married 1t makes no
difference whatsoever, Americans
are assured. Icelandic custom
recognizes a married woman'S right
to go anywhere she pleases, so long
as she abides by the few conven-
tions. Her husband would be one
of the last to show resentment, so
they say. to his wife picking up
with strangers at a dance.

When DR.. Patton was born on
the family plantation of 1000 acr
es at Lindsay, Virginia, in 1868,
most of the former slaves still
fingered about the place. At the
age of ten, Father Bob, as he
has come to be affectionately
known. opened a school for Negro
children. 1t was one of the first
efforts toward the education of
the freed men following the close
of the war. Since that day DR..
Patton has devoted his life to the
welfare of the Negro.
His family planned a political
career for him. Instead, gradual
ed from the University of Virgin
ia, Patton turned to the Church.
This Episcopal Church had been
active since Appomattox in work
among the former slaves; but it
was not until 1906 that effective
organization of this work was ac-
hieved in the creation of the Am
erican Church Institute. Eight
years later DIR. Patton took over
its direction; and in the interim

DIR. Harten's enemies as we'll as

those white concerns which receive
95 percent of their money from
