The only difference be tween him and Tommy is Tommy draws down more shekels. That sax man can hold a note longer than it takes some of the boys to pay ime those small favors and the Charity Martin does when some Drummer makes more noii e than one draws out on him, but sweet er noise. AH in all the band is tops; also, the floor show is ex cellent, featuring Miss Jean Pow ell from Chicago, the whirl wind. W .C.

The Cotton Club had only stan ding roam at 11 ’clock with a jol ly crowd of mixed patrons and the waitresses were tying their best to give the best of service under trying conditions.

Every body had a good time, in fact, they always do at the Cotton Club.

Walker’s preparations exclusively be cause I get results from them that I am unable to get from any other preparation,” stated a well known business woman the other day. The secret of the remarkable success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations is in the fact that they were blended by the late Madam C. J. Walker to reach certain definite conditions of the hair, skin and scalp, and today, after over thirty-five years on the market, they are growing increasingly popular, and not withstanding the fact that the Company has always refused to reduce the price on these goods, i they are still in demand every where. Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine, although more than thirty-five years on the market, is still the leader in its field. The reason for this is because it not only serves as a scalp oil, but it gives the hair that silky sheen and natural gloss that is the delight of every woman. Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown Face Powder is not just another Face Powder, but is the result of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing. Just the thing for these hot days. The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won- 1 derful preparations are sold by Walker Beauticians and Drug Stores everywhere, or you can write The Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Company, direct. Address: The Walker Building, Indian apolis, Indiana.
