At the end of the Spanish
American War, that famous COL
ored Company 81" of the Mass.
Volunteer Militia, an organiza-
ton that was called the Sol
ored West Point for the youth
of America" occupied position
of social and patriotic ascend
ancy. But three were no great
organizations then to cater to
the needs Of discharged service
men or give impetus to the life
of community, like the present
League of Women for Commun-
ity Service, headed by Mrs. Ag-
mes Gould, or the Women's Ser
vice Club with Mrs. Harriet
Hall as president.
At the close of the services of
the three largest color d
churches in the West End, The
Charles Street A. M. E., the
Twelfth Baptist and the Zion a.
M, E., one had an opportunity to
steal a glance at the girls and
boys bedecked in all their Sun
day rairnent. The women in

flounces that reached to the
ground, some Boosting a semi
train that dragged in the dust
and helped to keep the streets
of Boston clean, Milady's blouse
was usually white, plentifully
shirred and buttoned up tight to
the chin. A locket and chain
dangled from her neck which
when opened, disclosed a snip Of
someone's precious h a + or
little tin type photo of her boy
friend. There was nothing TO
help her enhance her natural
beauty. A few daring ones would
snitch little flour from their
pantry shelves and use it on a
handkerchief to pat on their
faces. Some would pinch their
cheeks hard to make them glow,
and others would, like the men,
chew sen sen to sweeten the
breath. Nothing was heard Ct

The beauty palaces that now can
be found throughout the length
and breath of Boston have
achieved wonders in furthering
the beauty and morale of our
colored women of today. Hence
the coffure Of As years ago was
indeed a simple matter. A girl
need only comb her hair straight
back, part it in the middle and
gather 1t in a bun at the nape
of the neck. Some wore pon1pa-
dourS, usually made with a !
rat" the substance of which
was any piece of rag or other
material upon which the hair
could be rolled And then, too,
there we're the girls WITH the
bangs who combed the hair
down over the forehead almost
to the eyebrows. They were
cute. AS for the men, we'll, a
salt-and-pepper suit, or some
thing quiet like a blue serge, |
topped by a plain dark necktie
and black derby hat worn at a |
rakish angle, was considered
There was not the slightest
idea in the minds of early col
ored Bdstonisns that some day
staid OLD Boston would bios
som forth with glittefing night
clubs.
This is the Upward Path.

Observation has shown me
that the average Gospel Cho-
rus has a decided inferiority
complex and I don't see why
this should be. It seems to be
an accepted fact that they are
filed with singers who are I'M
abe to make the regular choir,
and must accept an inferior
position in the church program.
Now experience has taught me
that there are some mighty
good voices, and ears, in at
least one Gospel Chorus. and
I don't see any reason why they
should confine themselves to
any one branch of singing. I
am seeking to prove this belief,
to the satisfaction of myself,
and all others who might be in
terested and, if you will attend
the services at Peoples Baptist
Church, tomorrow. I hope you
will get a faint idea of what I
mean, We have not yet gotten
fairly started on our way, but
there seems to be a difference
in the spirit of the singers al
ready. Come out, hear them,
and form your own opinion.
regret to say that many ar
rangelnents of Gospel Chorus
music are practically unsing-
able Whether the arrangers are
above me or below me I will
not hazard a guess. But am
going to do my own arranging
Tor these singers and hope by
he second Sunday in February,
will see more definitely what I
mean.

His ability is really wonderful and
times seemed almost uncanny."
Cothron added that "he has al

nounced today that despite ever

will be no increase in the price of
its products for the remainder of

Furthermore, it is our intention
to continue this hold-the-line policy
as far as possible into the future"
stated President Evarts C. Stevens
ir a message received today by
Isachsen Jewelry. "We have made
no significant price increases in our
nationally advertised lines since the
war and at no time during the life
of OPA did we apply for price
relief on any line in any quality or
price range from sterling silver to
the most inexpensive plate.
Gwen though price increases are
justified by much higher costs, we
believe the interests of the silver
ware industry will be better served
by keeping prices down rather than
by raising them. We have great
faith in the future Of the industry
and it is our firm opinion that the
bringht prospects can be enhanced
