Dear Mr. Woodland:
My wife, Carol Brice, the great

clash with those biaoted color

I who am 90 years old decided
that we would pool our respective
energies and talents to sponsor an
affair which would raise enough
funds to give you stable income
for the remainder of your days.
You are one of thousands OF
Negro boys who paid this price
but none in my recollection have
been subjected to such brutal
crime against God and humanity
as that which you have suffered.
Therefore, with your consent
Miss Brice would like to offer her
talents as a singer in concert and
I offer my talent and skill as a
publicist and promoter to see that
such a concert is a success. Miss
Brice refuses to accept a penny
for her services and / do too for
we want every penny to come to
you.
We have resolved that now is the
time for all Negroes to stick to-
gether for certainly at that rate
we are going if we don't we will
all be lynched one by one. l shall

and have a long discussion. | re-

TLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-

ALLAN "A, 1d.-NoNoJ-
The National Association of Col
ored Women, celebrating its Gold
en- Jubilee in Washington, D. c..
July 27-August 2, thru its purpose
and structure brings great heri-
tage to Negro womanhood and
definite challenge for continuous
cooperation in organization.
THE BEGINNING
The National Association OF Col
ored Women was organized at
Washington, D. c., on July Il.
1896. The year before, 1895, a meet
ing had been called at Boston,
Massachusetts, by Mrs. Josephine
st. Pierre Ruffin, president of the
Woman's Era Club of that city.
Mrs. Helen Apo Cook represented
the Colored Women's League of
Washington at this conference. A
temporary organization was FORM
ed with Mrs. Booker T. Washing
ton as president. The next year.
1896, meeting was held at Wash
ington in the 10Th Street Baptist
Church of which the late DR.. Wal
ter H. Brooks was pastor. A per-
manent organization was formed
and called The National Associa-
ton of Colored Women and Mrs
Mary Church Terrell of Washing
ton was elected the first president.
The Association has functloned
10
years. At its first meeting Is states
were represented by 70 delegates
reporting a membership of less
than 5000 The Golde n Jubilee
Anniversary being celebrated at
Washington on July 27-August 2,
1916 has enrolled LILO delegates
from 43 states, representing a
membership of more than $4,000.
ITS PURPOSES
The women who organized the
National Association of Coloreu
Women were far-sighted, recognl-
zing the handicaps of Negroes, par
ticularly with reference to educa-
tional, recreational, and industrial
opportunities. They realized the
need for uplift work in all levels
Of community life SO they set about
establishing day nurseries for work
ing mothers: furnishing boarding
homes for girls III cities, and es-
tablishing industrial homes for
problem boys and girls all over the
South. Association women have
provided nursing care and hospital
wards in cities and towns that had
no hospital facilities; they have
shared their own meager incomes
in order to conduct kindergartens,
establish libraries and thru schol-
arships provide educational OPP
portunities not other wise avail
able.
During two wars these organized
women have worked loyalty for
improved soldier morale, and for
the sale of bonds. They have
sought to develop among the youth
of the race a great respect for
past accomplishments of the Ne
gro and a future complete inte-
grafton into the civil life of demo-
cratic America thru improved
environment and better training
for industrial competition.

The performance July %, ana
its repetition on Saturday even
ing, July 27th, marked the grand
opera debut Of Miss Davis, who
has already established herself as
an outstanding concert singer in
the United States as well as In
Latin America, but who has pre-
viously been denied an opportunity
to utilize her vocal gifts in operate
repertoire with ranking opera
company because of prevailing
color tarriers.
DAUGHTER OF GROCER
Second daughter of small-town
grocer, Miss Davis, entirely u. 5.
trained, was hailed as "a new sing
ing star Of the first magnitude
when she made her New York con-
cert debut at Town Hall a little
over two years ago, and has since
given numerous recitals III New
York, Boston, Chicago, Washing
ton and other leading cities, ap-
pearing also as soloist with the

phony. To pay for her first music
lessons, she worked as a dress
maker and alteration hand in a
small New Rochelle store and
sewed by the hour for New York
socialites.
Following her operate appear
ance in Mexico City, Miss Davis
will embark on an extensive con-
cert tour of Central and South
America, to include more than
twenty recitals and appearances as
symphony orchestra soloist in all
of the principal Latin-American
cities during August and Septem-
Der. A climax Of this tour will be

NEW YORK-(SNSl-

On August 3, when Carol BTice
sings with Serge Koussevitsky and
the Boston Orchestra and even in
February Of this year when she
sang for DIR. koussevitsky before
the friends of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra it was all two
years too late. Well, this is the
way it all began or rather this is
the way it all ended.
In 1914, while Carol Brice was
still a student of the Julliard Grad
uate School of Music she won the
Walter w. Naumberg award and
some Of her instructors began try
ing to arrange for DR.. KouSevitSky
to hear their young promising stu
dent. They went so far as to ar
range a special concert at Pittsfield,
Massachusetts, just few miles
from Koussevitsky's Berkshire
Festival in order that it would be
easy for him to hear her. Under
great pressure, they gained the
tacit commitment of DIR. Kousse-
whisky that the would come out
and hear Carl Brice, their young
pupil, sing on July 26.
To their great CONSERVATION the
date which they set for Carol
Brice's concert at which Kousse-
whisky was to appear was the great
maestro's 10th birthday. Natural
ly, everybody felt very badly. Then
two years later while Carol Brice
was appearing on a broadcast with
DR.. Fritz Reiner and the Columbia
Broadcasting Symphony, DR.. Kous-
sevitSky'S cousin accidentally turned
on the radio while Carol Brice was
performing DeFalla's Gel Amor
Brujo," and DR.. Koussevitsky heard
Carol Brice for the first time. He
Immediately called long distance to
New York to arrange for special
addition with Miss Brice for him
self.
Of course, the rest is history,
Carol Brice's singing for the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra culminat-
ed in DR.. Koussevitsky's describ-
ing her as being the possessor of
ga voice like a Cello" his COM
missioning of a special vocal sym
phony to be written for her and
now her appearance with the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra at the
Berkshire Festival where she will
perform Brahms alto Rhapsody"
And the funniest thing about it all
is that it all is two years late.

The eyes have it. The saying that men do not make
passes at girls who glasses is becoming and
outdated
If you must glasses then them and like it.
They longer the ugly unbecomng things they used
to be Ocuiss at last become to the ways OF
and have gone all out designing glasses that
will anything but detrac from your natural loveiness
Until Just recently who should have been wearing

ing blind, it is best not to depend
on glasses too much. 1t isn't neces-
sary for you to see absolutely
everything. When your best beau
or husband takes you out dining,
leave your glasses on long enough
to read the menu and then take
them off. If you care to you may
keep them close by in the event
you just must see something that
without them is unclear. For this
reason, glasses with frames are
most practical because they are
less easily broken.
Try doing eye exercises so that
your "crutches" (glasses) will not
be needed so often.
Make your glasses seem more
of an accessory than a necessity.

Eyeglass frames are now styled
in shape and in color. Try on diff
ferent shapes and colors for be-
comingness just as you would try
on hat or dress. There is a shape
and a color in frames for every
face. For the more conservative,
amber or tortoise shell is good for
brunettes, brownettes and red
heads, and the pastels are ravish-
ing on those with lighter hair.
For tailored wear, the turned-up
rims transform you into a real
pixie. These harlequin-type glass
es are nice for those who want to
be something more than run-of-
the-mill and they run all the way
from the modified harlequin to the
extreme harlequin type. The
frames come in black, red, blue
and a host of other colors.
For the more glamorous occa-
sion, there are those with jewel
studded frames.
BRILLIANT COLORS
The beach is a perfect setting
for something a little startling.
Brilliant colors in frames for sun
glasses are gay and amusing.
Those mounted with little translu-
cent bubbles catch both light and
admiring chances.
If you wear glasses regularly
be sure to have your sun glasses
made to order. The cheap ten cent
store glasses are detrimental even
to those with 1920 vision. 1t pays
to spend a little more when it
comes to buying glasses.
