Society Slants
BY SUZETTE
These boys—the “Aristocrats,” are really something. You can’t
tell what they are going to do next. This time, their president,
Alvin “Logar” Powell entertained the club with a “Lobster supper”
at Carl’s Grill on last Monday evening. The setting was beautiful,
the food delicious, and the boys had a grand time.
Saw Edna Bennett in town. Edna as you may remember is a
former Savannahian, but has been in New York for several years.
She accompanied her mother who had been visiting her, back home
• . . We send our sympathy to Miss Fannie Deveaux this week. Miss
Deveaux lost her devoted brother. John. The funeral was held. Sun
day afternoon from Royal Fpneral Home, and many friends of the
family were present to express their sympathy and condolence. X our
friends won’t let ou get lonely. Miss Deveaux. We all think that
you are a very fine person.
The Vernon Rhaneys acting as sponsors at the beautiful and im
pressive baptisimal service of Milton Emerson, infant son of Mr.
and Mrs. Millard Wheeler, at St. Matthews, Sunday . . . Prof. R. W.
Gadsden at St. Matthews Sunday as principal speaker at the 11:15
Youth Service. As usual Prof. Gadsden was excellent, and gave the
young folks a real worthwhile message. He gave the older folks
something to think about too.
Janette Hayes is on the sick list. eW are all so sorry, and wish
for her a speedy recovery. Janette is such a jolly person, that her
friends miss her so, when she’s not around . . . Nancy Collier is out
again. She doesn’t look at all like a person who has been ill. We
are glad she’s better.
Annie V. King, the very neat little nurse from the Health
Center, was seen at the Star theother night. They say that Annie
is a nice little person to know . . . Mattie Branch (Mrs. M right
Branch) really selects beautiful hats. I just adore the all feather
model that she was wearing Sunday. Mattie was a study in brown
tan suit and brown accessories. She was quite attractive.
The Fair or Festival sponsored *by the Colored Nursery at the
“Y” was quite a gay affair last week. Sororities, Churches, F ra
ternities, and various clubs had attractive booths, that seemed suc
cessful. Glancing around, among those busy in the various booths 1
saw Eubank. Collier, Wilkerson and Demery in the Veterans’ booth,
Pauline Hagins, Eunice Clay and others in the Sigma Gamma Rho’s;
Ruby Gadsden, Frankie Golden, and others for their sorority; Eldora
Greene, Archie Wiley, Mrs. John Stiles, Mrs. L. S. Priester for St.
Augustine’s Alumni; Mrs. Edwin Burke at the Elk’s booth; Marie
Orsot, Edwina Ford, Ayler Mae Lovett, “Grappy” Wiley and Lucy
Solomon at St. Matthew’s booth; Laura King, Laura McCloud. Artilia
Robeson, Lula Lockett, Boles Ford, D. J. Scott, Dr. S. M. McDrew,
Jr., and lots and lots of others were seen trying to sell thteir wares.
All of this added gaiety and color to the affair.
Among those seen at Loncoln Inn Sunday night enjoying the music
of Raleigh Randolph and his band, were the Leon Grants, and Jim
mie Fraziers in a party; Dr. I. D. Williams and Humphry, the little
nurse in Dr. H. M: Collier’s office at another table; Bethrotha Bacon,
Alvin Powell, Frank Freeman, Dr. Tyson, Edna Bennett of New
York- and “C. B.” Patrick in another party, and lots and lots of
others. Saw Edward Cogswell Saturday night with his little son,
Edward. I think it’s so nice of the fellows to give mother a break
or “rest” once in a while by taking “junior” out.
Carrier Gaston, hostess at her home on Hopkins Street last
Thursday evening, honoring her sorority the lota Phi Lambda.
The T. J. Hopkins, Jr., spending the week-end in Macon. Ine

This time he has gone to New York. Nona says he w. n’t be germ
long . . . Saw Verdell Stevens up town Saturday, looking like th •
Verdell of old. Glad to see her looking so well . . . Why don’t^ymi
