a railroad, with no stage to take one to

or hotels. There is only a
group of tents and shanties set out among
the scraggy grass of the Bad bands.
For all that, it is a summer resort, and
a very exclusive one. You could try for

Professions for Colored Women
C)'-' course colored women are the traditional
