A PERSONAL MCTTKU FH(»M MAIUK Dear iJvorynoii;. : I've just got to do some exploding about my trip to New York City. I'm Just bursting to tell you how n girl feels when she has just re ceived u big, bronze nnd mahogany placque, to say nothing about the party given me by my friends at the Plantation club on l.enos avenue. You don’t blame me, do you? Surprise! All of this was such a surprise, for 1 was just going abend doing a Job when 1 was suddenly In formed that the Urban League of New York nnd the National Beauty Culturists Association were giving me an award for writing this col umn. None of you readers knew who 1 was before this citation, nnd 1 was content to go on writing anonymously. Marie Downing is my name, nnd will always be my name, even though I do have a happy home, a tine husband and live Just as most of you folks do. It happens 1 am a licensed cosmet ologist; I also like to write. There has never been any feature column to give Information free, nnd It just occurred to me that maybe 1 could do the Job. A year and a half of this work, and what do I find—a big surprise done up In the most elegant kind of package: the rccognli.t.n by my friends nnd renders. You’ve probably rend elsewhere in your paper about the convention of the beauty league In New York, so I won't bore you with more of my story. Harlem Celebrities Present You will be Interested to know, however, that among my friends at the party were Ethel Waters, Georgette Ilnrvey nnd Jimmy Has* quette. In New York we also saw many of our oilier friends, Including Hill Itobinson and E. Simms Camp bell. All are ensconced in swank npurtments in Ilurleni. You’ll excuse me for bubbling over about It all, won’t you? I promise not to do It again. Hon estly I’ll get back to the subject of beauty nnd romance in my next column, fervently hoping that an other year will And you readers as interested In the subjects I discuss ns 1 hope you have been during the past 18 mouths. Next time we’ll discuss nervous tension—an annoying thing from which few escape. Good luck to you all now. If you’re In St. Louis anytime, won’t you come to see me? I’ll show you this handsome award nnd other souvenirs of the garden spot of New York City— Harlem.
