- dent of Houston College for Negroes and graduate of Tus-
E. kegee Institute, is Home Economics instructor at Georgia
Baptist College, Macon, Georgia. Not only has she this dis-
—tinction to her credit but she is the recent and lovely bride
of Mr. Robert Grier, Dean at Georgia Baptist College. Mr. Grier is of
= St. Louis while Mrs. Grier is a former Houstonian.
Bensen Many happy returns of the day!

Lipscomb of Brenham, Texas. While there she was
accorded many gala courtesies.

Mis. Theodore Hogrobrooks, Jr., and little son,
Theodore, III, are in Detroit, Michigan visiting mother
and dad. Word comes that they are having a glorious
time and send many pleasant “hellos” to Informer staff
Miss Rilla Jenkins, of the Pelican State via Le Compte spent
two thrilling weeks in our heavenly city. Mrs. Malinda Hawkins and
Mrs. Erma Gipson, relatives, made her stay one "grand sweet song.”
Louisiana is proud to claim her as its daughter.
Miss Quintanna Wilson, Past Basileus of Nu Alpha Chapter of Zeta
Phi Beta Sorority and young instructor in Brazoria Public School, was
a welcome weekend visitor of her cousins, the Misses Camilla and Cleo
Oliver. For all we know she may have come to pay her last respects
to her soror, Miss Rachel Devoe, before the latter takes that final trek
to the altar.
When Xavier and Yates clashed in the prep classic in New
Orleans Friday, J. Don Davis was there getting “hip to the football
jive” and casting a hasty glance at the Creole beauties who grace
the city at every turn. We wonder, on his return, will the theme
of his findings be inclined sportatively or otherwise . . .
SWEET AND LOVELY-
And then some! These are the only words which sufficiently describe
the 7 lb., 12 oz. bouncing infant son of Mrs. Ernestine Branch. Mrs.
Branch is a graduate of Houston College and member of Zeta Sorority.
The little name of John .Phelps Branch is nothing short of a darling
and befitting one for this very precious “bundle of activity.”
APPROACHING ATTRACTION-
Miss Jessie Robinson, Instructor in Houston Public School System
and member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, will be crowned “Miss
Sigmna" in a grand ceremony at Houston College Wednesday evening
November 15. This crowning, which is looked forward to with much
anticipation, is in keeping with the sorority’s Founder’s Day program
which begins Sunday Nov. 12 at St. Luke's Episcopal Church.
AND SO THEY WERE MARRIED-
Miss Clarice Nious of 3448 McGowen became the blushing bride of
Charlie Sams Monday evening in an impressive ceremony. They plighted
their troth 'mid gorgeous red roses and delicate carnations. Miss Nious
is formerly of San Antonio. Guests from the Alamo City who witnessed
this beautiful occasion were Gracie Randle, Adell Richardson, Edna
Priesley and Aaron Nious. .

A reception followed. The lace-
laid table held as its centerpiece,
a white bowl containing pink and
white roses. A refreshing repast
was served.
Many relatives and friends of the
couple were present. The bride was
the recipient of many useful gifts.

CHARM “TIP”—
. In my efforts to elucidate on avenues, foot paths and gateways
to charm, I must be very cautious not to overlook the all-important
subject of common everyday courtesy and politeness. The expression,
“pretty is as pretty does" is a true one. Irrespective of how many
other virtues one may hold. if he is not tactful, does not use the
right words on the right person, it were better that the other
qualities wore lost and pale into into insignificance, as jt were. How
little politeness costs us but how dearly we pay for the lack of it.
Do not be so prone to trample on the feelings of others, nor give a
sharp answer to a question which may be innocently but wrongly
% directed. When there is a difference of opinions, dress up your
” grievance with apologetic and smooth words, submit it in same man-
, ner very tactfully and thus relieve the mental tension on both sides,
n. Politeness, geniality and tact are needed sorefully in this “give and
take world.” Without them we appear blunt, abrupt, ungracious, cold
• and unattractive. Respect the ideals, feelings and convictions of others
by being polite and courteous and thus talk your way to charm.
