Parish STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT 1t just amt no fig
curing out what the good brothers
is going to talk about when we
gathers over our fish and beer up
on north end on saturday nights,
and that's the main reason we
wasn't so surprised when the good
brothers started talking about
something that happens on the
city buses and such places. The
brother that started off the ta.5-
ing said that he was sitting on one
of tenn buses one evening, going
home if you please, and he was
right tired cause he had been work
ing kinda hard that day, but he
looked up and saw one of the gooc
sisters standing up over him with
an arm full of bundles and stuff
and he jumped up to let her sit
down. Now he SAID tnau this sister
sllu something to him about al
most knocked him of his feet.
\ .szuh, he said that when he Of
fered ne I.lis seat thae rs was slv-
ting in she actually told him
9" nank you" loud enough or all
the folks on the bus to hear it.
This good brother went on to say
that that's something that most of
the sisters don't do these days.
They don't figure that they is sup
posed to say "Thank you to tbs
brothers that git up out of THEN
seats and gives them to them. He
said that they acts like you're
just naturally supposed to git IN
when they comes on the bus and
sit them down. This brother kept
or talking and sal dthat he pays
his nickles to ride ton them buses
Just like the sisters and if they
keep on acting like they don't On
preciate him Citing up out of that
nice seat to stand up so they cen
sit down, he ant going to git up no
more. He said that the reason the
brothers gives the sisters seats IN
them public places is to show tha
they has had good bringing up
and such but the sisters is sup
posed to show that they was brung
up right too by saying Than
you" when the brothers is nice and
gentlemanIy like dat. You know,
we was just thinking and that good
brother shore said a mouthful of
something Yassuh .

Wendell Phillips, leader of the

a series of Nubians. The series of
rock drawings discovered at Abka

I've Paid My Debt

By WILLIAM HENRY HUFF
I've paid the debt / owed society,
I've washed my garments clean;
I count it not as improperly
To say that il was mean
OF me to ever get entangIed
With low and common trash,
No matter what the prize It
dangled,
Or gold that il could fash,
So you may bet
I've paid my debt.

Then 1t Happened!
By MARK LYMAN

Deacon Battle was SO when a
stroke bent him double, but this
didn't stop the good deacon. With
a two-foot cane, and bent for
ward at a As degree angle, he was
a familiar sight around Rocky
Mount for 80 more years before
he cashed in his chips.
Now, these were the days Of
the cooling board" and the I'M
dertaker had his hands full try
ing to Straighten Deacon Battle
out. When he pushed the dea-
cons legs down, his body shot up;
when he pushed his body back,
the deacon's legs flew up in the
air and stayed there.
Also these were the days of
home embalming So the ingeni-
Gus embalmer hit upon a bright
idea. With the aid of the family's
clothes line and a few trunk
straps, he Strengthened the dea-
con out as pretty as you please.
He was all ready for the set

That night the sisters and

By JOHN HENRIK CLARKE
Walk softly, do not make a sound,
Cautiously your feet must touch

Take heed; are you not aware
The Unknown Soldier" Is Sleep

When passing you must carefully

Do not disturb his lasting sleep.
He fought to give us better

He must not know he fought in

Don't awaken him, for fear he

That we have destroyed democ-

HOUSEHOLD HINTS; QUERY?
From Mrs. P. K, WashinQton.l

To Mrs. T. w. D., Washington.
I have removed grease and oil
stains from fiber rugs by using
thick layers of newspaper. Over
the papers folded an old turkish
towel, put all of that directly under
the stain and then poured cleaning
fluid little at a time, scrubbing
gently with a brush. After all the
grease is removed, If there is still a
stain then try soap shampoo.
Boiling lemon cut in small pieces
will often remove hard stains from
aluminium.
Stains on floors from shoes and
many other stains will easily come
off by using a little gasoline or the
varsol type of cleaner on rag or
steel wool, rub slowly but firmly.
put all scraps of soap in q
handy jar Of water. 1t makes a
thick jelly and I use it instead of
flakes. I do the same with my
hard soap in the washing machine.
In my 2-gallon aquarium I keep
q growing long stringy plant, a
few small snails which multiply
constantly and four pinch fancy
goldfish that keeps the tank in such
good balance that I never change
the water. On the bottom Of it is
about 11z inches Of white sand, a
few shells and a tank ornament.
The fish get special nourishment
by consuming quite lot of the eggs
of the snails and I feed them regu-
lar fish food once day. Some
times the family feeds them several
times a day and sometimes we
leave home for a week or two and
come back and find the whole tank
in perfect health and order.
I have kept a 6-gallon tank of
guppies and black Mallins for years
and years under the same system.
They all become very tame and a
lot of fun.
Grand meat saver: Prepare
mashed potatoes as if to serve on
table. Only add 2 eggs and whip
it up light. Drop large scoops in
creased baking dish, pressing it
down in center to look like pretty
shells. Now fry to half done 1
pound Of onions cut up, about a
cup Of cut-up celery, salt and
pepper to taste. Add any leftover
meat, cut in 1-inch pieces, also
add some gravy If you have any.

ma who is with the firm that for |
years did the tailoring for the late
President Roosevelt and other not
ables. Mr.. Scogna comes from q
family of tailors originally from
Chienti in Italy. He learned tai
loring years ago here in the United
States. The average length of ap-
prentice study is about eight years. |
While We were talking with Mr.. |
Scogna, who also designs clothing |
Ga phase that many tailors do not
enter into), he told us that however
expressive designing is, the average
tailor never quite gets his praises
sung as loudly or in print as does
many dress designer. Sidetrack-
ing the woinen's angle Of this story,
Mr.. Scogna pointed out that the
reason for that might be because
mems styles change so seldom.
Getting away from the tailor's
point of view We think that you
should read and know little about
custom tailoring from Washington
women who for years have had their
clothes custom made. All of these
ladies, four of them to be exact,
feel that frilly dress has no place
in a business Office. They have
achieved fashion fame through the
wearing of beautifully tailored
clothes. This is no new thing with
them. All of these ladies were
agreed that suits are the "fresh
way to dress" You can always
change them with bright blouses,
thereby appearing fresh and neat.
Neither is a suit distracting item
as so many besequinned dresses
prove themselves to be in an Office.
AS for the conveniences that suits
possess, why they could go on for
hours about them. Let's see. There
are pockets to hold change for
phone calls, buttonholes through
which unusual jewelry may be dis
played, etc. All state that you should
space the wearing of your suits in
order to give them longer life ex-
pectancy.
They claim that suits are the
answer to being practical and ap-
pearing dignified and perfectly
groomed. AS one woman phrased it
You can't pay too much to know
that your collar doesn't stick around
your neck like a fence around a
graveyard" And they all say that
once you've had suit CUSTOM
made you'll be convinced and go
back to your tailor for another.
Once you recognize the fashion
worth of a custom-m garment
you'll be one up on the woman who
merely buys q dress in September
and wears it straight through til
the next season. The uses of we'll
tailored suit are many. Number
one in the asset lineup is the fact
that the custom-made suit like its
ready -to-wear sister may be skill
fully changed through the addition
of good costume jewelry, scarfs, and
other accessories.

.hyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lovmss

Home entertainment has q great
advantage over club hospitality be-
cause the groups are usually smaller
at home than when you offer hos
pitality at . club. Yet many hos.
tesses try to mix the unmixabls
even In such small groups. This
places burden on you and on your
guests.
It Is most difncuit to gather to-
gether more than eight congenial
people. Why then. not plan your
small groups according to their
activities and potentialities? II you
invite those who are bored without
bridge, or even worse, ask four ex.
perts to spend the evening with
four amateurs, you are doomed as Q
hostess.
You can invite Q group Of busi-
ness men and housewives and treat
yourself and them to . pleasant and
comfortable evening, In which talk
Of the stock market, imitation and
depression, war and recipes and
child care compete for audience.
This will provide q nice evening OF
down to earth conversation and L.
always fascinating in human val.
ues, when everyone has something
to contribute.
Again, you can gather together q
subtle mixture of art and htera-
ture, history and law, with q few
screWballs thrown in, because
screwballs are imaginative and fit
into any group unless 1t Is ultra
conservative.
Small congenial groups play into
the hostess hands. 80 If you have q
Mr.. So-and-So who Is interested
only in the stock market and golf
and he Is seated by Mrs. So-and-So
whose only interest Is in home
keeping and The Parent Teachers
Association, the evening Is sure to
be dreary for all concerned-hos-
tess and guests. Why not capitalize
on these small groups by inviting a
few congenial people often rather
than having large groups which mix
about as well as oil and water.
For the good Of your guests and
for the health Of your nervous sys-
tenn, I suggest that you invite those
who are oongenial and speak the
same language. Otherwise you
might as well try to mix those who
speak only French with those who
speak only English, Spanish, Dutch,
Italian or German.
