Doin’ The Town With!
A Debutante . . .
—--. 1
BY ROXANE
“in the good old summertime—
in the good old summertime”—
that’s the song many of our young
sub-debs and debbies are singing
(if they CAN sing) and why
shouldn’t they? For we have so
many interesting things doing
loose day . . . . I.
Lois C. Searcy is becoming
quite an equestrienne de-luxe
de-lovely, de-glamour and de
soie (latch on?) while her cousin
Clementine Church and Mae Rose
Hebert take their riding n a more
serious vein. . . .
Wanda Johnson of Central Y
fame is dancing with Posey Flow
ers, director and choreographer
of the “Dancers of the Mask”. . .
Incidentally, this group of fine
young dancers of modern art will
, soon be featured in one of the
t musical shows at our own Ameri
\ can Negro Exposition. . . .
^ Speaking of the Exposition,
r may I remind you debbies that
f have not as yet attended the
“Expo” to do it at your earliest
moment. . . . Don’t fry4 to do it
, all in one visit. . . Come back
two or three or even more times.
I’m sure the ticket taker will
welcome you and you in turn give
our visitors an idea of what beauty
sepia Chicago has. . . .
Shirley Hays is attending sum
mer school, taking music lessons
; nd working too. and therefore is
not seen at as many social af
fairs as is desired by the younger
tel. . . . Brave Shirley, wouldst
that I could but do the same. . .
( Tis the Shakespeare in me).
Orchids to Lois Doyle for sit
ting up with her father through
the night, while he is recovering
from a serious automobile acci
dent. . . . We are hoping that
soon Dr. Doyle will be adminis
tering his professional service to
us again, and that his recovery
will be soon a thing of the past.
A whole flower garden for love
ly Jean Dorsey who so gracious
ly entertained her guests on her
birthday last Sunday at the
Quincy Club. Everyone agreed
that it was just like New Year’s
Eve, what with confetti, noise
makers, paper hats, etc.
and of course loads and loads of
young people. . . .
Dressed in a beautiful dress of
blue printed silk, Jean Dorsey
welcomed her guests and started
tne ball of merriment a-rollin’ . .
In a place like the Quincy Club,
one never does get to see everyone
present, so please bear with me
if I have left any young ones out
... to tell the truth I couldn't
remember all the names. . . .
Lois Searcy was there with
Charles Smith . . Mae Rose He
bert, Laura Marshall, Clementine
Church and Kennedy Parker,
Mary Forte, and Milton Webster,
Alice Barland, and Wade Watson,
Emily Bates and Carl Watson,
Jim Branham and Frank Anglin,
Robert McCune. Alma Dorsey,
Julius Thomas, Marjul Everett,
Sybil Bernstein, Blanch Myrick,
Leola Thompson, Alberta Gibson,
Alfred Howe, Pete Gransberry,
Mary Howe, Mae Bridgeforth,
Doris Evans, Bill Walker, Mickey
Williams, and Becka Williams,
and some more, and some more.
After having surprised her
guests with such novel invitations,
Jean also gave us a treat by
har ing eacli number announced
as it was going to be played . . .
and Miss Dorsey, may turn this
sort of party into an annual
affair. . . . That’s a very good
idea and I’m sure it will meet
with the approval of the younger
set whole-heartedly. . . . Punch
and cake was served and as usu
al a good time was had by all . .
(rather trite, eh?).
Bonnie and Louise Hague and
their parents are enjoying New
York City and the New York
Philharmonic concerts. . . .
Edith Hayes, of Fisk university
is still feeling the after effects
ol a strenuous fourth of July
celebration.
Definitely a two-some tnese
days is Pete Gransberry and
Mary Howe . . . and not to men
tion, Charles “Box” Smith and a
certain Delta pledgee. . . . Defi
nitely dis-heartening (whew,
what a word) is the news that
Germans are banning the use of
rouge and lipstick to smart Pa
risiennes and that the Vogue may
also begin in our own U. S. A., il
this does occur and women will
stop using lipstick and rouge, do
you think I’ll still be,
Youthfully yours?
