The Working Girls’ Aid

filled with assorted fall blos-

with dainty lace cloths, were cen-
tered with delicately cut black vases
holding Baby zinnias of brilliant
hue. Shaded lights cast a soft glow
over the entire scene. Dance music
kept the guests in a gay mood.
At the extreme left of the club
stood the Hughes Tool table at
which the guest of honor was
served. This table was covered with
a Dutch lace cloth centered with a
clear chrystal bowl of fall flowers
and maidenhair fern. The flowers
were later given the guest of honor
as a gift. Fancy Hors De oeuvres

table. Delicious punch was served
by Mrs. Henratta Johnson, Miss

Mr. and Mrs. Bronze Mayor
Visit Informer Plant
The Informer Publishing company
was treated to a tour of inspection
by his Honor, Bronze Mayor and
Mrs. J. H. Jemison, Tuesday morn-
ing. In a friendly chat with the
couple, I found to my delight that
of all the departments of the plant,
his Honor was most interested in
the Ad department, for as he put
it, “That’s where my ads are made
up.” Mrs. Bronze Mayor found the
manipulation of the Linotype ma-
chines very fascinating..

FOR BRIDE-ELECT
The Missionary Society of Mt.
Zion Baptist church, entertained
with a Miscellaneous shower Sun-
day honoring Miss Carrie Cunning-
ham, bride-elect of October. Mrs.
Amanda Fields is the president of
the Mission society.
C. A. .
Mr. Rice carried an undercurrent
of wit throughout his talk, in which
he vividly contrasted Oriental and
Occidental ideas about life—the
former peoples possessing the abil-
ity to take existence leisurely and
enjoyably, the latter going so hur-
riedly about everyday life that they
have not the time to fully appre-
elate true values.
The Importance of Living, which
has had fourteen printings since
last November, was heartily recom-
mended by the speaker for those
who enjoy ancient and modern
Chinese philosophy pleasingly high-
lighted with Western slang.
It was suggested that study
groups be assembled to discuss the
book, and that a panel discussion
be presented at a later date.
Mrs. Julius White graciously pre-
sided in the absence of the presi-
dent, of the Young Matrons’ Club,
Mrs. Clifton Fonsworth.
Immediately following the review,
tea was served. Mrs. Walter Ruffin,
assisted by Mrs. T. W. Coleman
poured. Dainty sandwiches and
sweets were served from a table
illuminated by four tall white tap-
ers in crystal holders, and centered
with a low bowl of purple Grecian
lilies.
The guests were registered by
Mrs. Eulalia Justice and Mrs. Sam
Ratcliff at a table which bore a
bowl of double hibiscus. A vase of
deep pink roses on the piano com-
pleted the decorations.

Babin Marriage
Causes Comment
Among Mothers
The sordid story of the Darrell
Babin case, told in last week’s issue
of The Informer caused much com-
ment among the mothers of young
daughters in the city. It was so
prevalent that the editor began
questionin gthem to get their reac-
tions. These are a few of the many
comments given by these mothers:
This one, the mother of three
daughters, ages 8. 12 and 14 says,
“Even marriage cannot atone for the
injustices done this little girl, I
think that the marriage should be
annulled.”
This mother has two daughters,
one married and the other single
and nineteen. Both have received
college training: "Marriage cannot
undo the damage already done this
child. When she reaches full wo-
manhood she will have lost all vi-
tality and become a shell."
From a woman well versed in so-
cial problems: “Annulment would
not help matters now, for the girl
has already strayed from the path
for a whole year and with the un-
favorable publicity already „given,
perhaps marriage is the best solu-
tion.**
So the mothers battle on with,
their opinion, each one sympathiz-
ing with that mother who ski faced
with such perplexing problem. -
