Of their bid for society status
They are sadly lacking In COM

Negroes In Choice OF

But this element IL definitely a

much more worthy Of social re-
cognition than yesterdays society

men who have risen TO the top
Of the business. education and

remarkable economic advances OF
Negroes in the past decade.
Their accomplishments have
been 30 notable that In some cases
they have even won recognition
from the white society world
Recently society writer Igor Cas-
SIM took cogniEance Of this trend
when In an article In Esquire he
named what he called The New
400 OF society. In his listing he
included five Negroes: Marian
Anderson, Ralph Bunche, Louis
Armstrong, MARY Mcleod

Negro society IL no different

THERE we all were, sitting around together
IL very peacefully, but feeling more than
little bored as often happened with us, and
taking things easier toward the end of the
working day.
Someone said, Sammy, tell us story"
Sammy Balm sat forward = think he had
been on the point of doing off - and grinned.
Sammy loved telling stories. He was a we'll
fleshed, happy man with loose under-jaw
and an eye like an eagle.
WELL" he said, "since you press me, this
is the story of Mrs. Herbert Player She was
widow of sixty and a very rich woman You
know something? 1t is very hard to be rich
and honest"
''It is very hard to be poor and honest"
said someone
1T is very hard to be honest, said Sammy
Let us have the story and save the mora"
said. for Sammy was good hand at story,
even if he did jump about bit. He could tell
stories from the rising to the setting of the
sun, and more of them were true than you
would have imagined.
she was widow" Sammy went on '.She
was very big in the way that corsets can do
nothing for. Her hair was dyed a kind of
ginger color, and you would have had to dig
through powder, lipstick. mascara and rouge
to find her face You could have dug forever
and never found her heart Also she was very
rich. And also she liked her food. That was
why she was on this boat"
What boat?"
This Dutch boat The food is very good
on the Dutch transatlantic boats. If anyone
is interested l will quote specimen menu,
but it takes long time
Don't bother"
Very well. She was on this'bo coming
from New York to Rotterdam, and there were
very few first-class passengers. Maybe
dozen, for it was November and the season
was over"
And were you on this boat?"

''Of course. How else would know the
story? She is very rich Mrs. Herbert Player"
You said that before, twice"
''Of course, but it has to be said three times
to describe just how rich she is So there she
was on this boat and she was travelling with
lot of her jewelry. In my opinion she was
very indis0eet with her jewels.
Every evening she would come into dinner
looking as though she were going to the opera
and she always wore about her neck very
fine emerald necklace 1t was very fine neck
lace indeed and had quite history in the
way these things do. 1t was relief when you
looked at her face to let your eyes slide down

''SHE kept to herself pretty much, though
there were quite few of the men who tried to
be friendly with her. After all. rich widow

time in her cabin, except for the evening
parade when she flashed these emeralds
around. Which in my opinion was danger
GUS thing to do You know how jewel thieves
work these boats, and they don't mind wait
ing for their chance. If anyone had marked
Mrs. Herbert Players necklace down she was
giving him every chance"
Somebody had marked her DOWN."
Let me tell the story, will you? Yes,
somebody had marked her down. On the

in the crudest way imaginable She went
to her cabin after dinner and was standing
in front of her dressing table when the door
opened behind her, hand switched off the
light and someone came across the room and
whipped handkerchief round her mouth to
stop her from screaming. The emeralds were
jerked from her neck and. in the darkness,
she was bundled on to the bed and her ankles
and wrists were bound
