SOCIAL CALENDAR
BY ALMIRA PARK

Last Sunday afternoon the 800
or more who braved the wind
and rain to reach John Han
cock Hall for Anna Bobitt Card
ners 18th Annual Observance of
History Week were abundantly
repaid for whatever hardship
the journey cost them, for this
last observance was well nigh
perfect. No other aggregation
of participants, however pro-
fessionally train d, however
elaborately' staged or costRmed,
could have presented a more ex-
cellent performance. From start
to finish there was not a single
hitch. Not the least pleasurable
part Of the feast of music and
drama was the incidental music
played by Blanche G. Morris
which during intermission, con-
tinued for five minutes. The
rendering in song of The Lords
Prayer (the inyocation) by
Norma and Helen Jordan, gowned
in white with an Illuminated
star on their breasts, the mag
nificent singing of James L.
Brown Che who has so many
times sung at affairs staged by
The Guardian), the marvellous
violin renditions of 18-year-old
Elwyn Adams, accompanied by
Armenia Adams, his sister, the
equally meritorious performance
of the youthful pianist, Jacuuel-
inc Jones (aged 16) down
through the creative dancing
group, trained by Louise Parks
(the Voice of History in the
pageant) there was not a dull
moment and at the close the
audience, which had sat breath
less during the over two hours
show, was reluctant to leave the
ornate and beautiful auditori-
uI.

man, also, were friends of the
older one. The two took an Of

section of the city in which
they lived. One was in business
and the other ran" a weekly
newspaper. The younger man
had also a city position which
he labored at. together with his
private business. There were
times when the latter shirked
on the city job and was in danger
of losing it. Then he would
call upon his older friend who
had influence with the city Of
ficials to save the job for him.
This happened not once but sew

to a race perpetrated by the
very country which had profited
from the requited ton of menu
bers of his race. The older man
with his newspaper advertised
the wares Of his friend on a CO.
operative basis. For instance,
one ran the others ads and the
latter paid with his own brand
of printing. Time still went on.
Finally, the younger man, desir-
ing to get rich quick, declared
his "friend" owed him. This
the other denied. He was a
great mathematician-in school
he even "stumped" his man.
teacher, gave him a problem the
latter could not solve. So he
knew he was right and denied
the others allegation. Th e
younger man persisted in his
charge and went SO far as to
threaten to take the matter into
court. He did send for a con-
Stable and was in the act of
having his friends" goods set
out on the, sidewalk. At this
juncture, a good angel of the
older man got wind Of the
trouble and with fire in her
heart and 500 in her hand
came upon the scene and stopped
the proceedings. What she said
to the dispoSSesSing man would
be too hot to print. This ended
the tie between the two men.
Time still went on. The
younger man again was in
trouble with his city job and
had the nerve to ask his erst-
while friend to help him out
again. But this time the older
friend turned a deaf ear to the
entreaty and the man who had
betrayed his friend lost the city
job. Time passed and the older
man died, leaving his paper to
his sister who caught it up and
carried on for 10 years, giving
UP social life, home comforts,
depriving herself of pleasures,
caring only that she might be
given strength to hold the fort
for many years to come. Time
passed and in some way she
forgave the traitor to her de-

with him. advertised his busi-
ness in the paper, even went so
far as to have downtown Of

boosted his political campaigns,
advertised his candidacy far be-
yond what he paid. What does
the fellow do as time passed on?
Why, his naturally treacherous
disposition comes out again.
