He: "You often hear people say that Paul Robeson sings spirituals better; I suppose because he has a baritone voice. I can· not agree with them. The devout, drama.tic feeling of Roland Hayes satisfies my idea of spirituals better than anyone's else." Roland Hayes was the second of the Oppenheimer attractions. J. W.

But be his song a Beethoven or a spiritual, Roland Ha.yes expresses poignantly the emotion, the ,.Pathos, the tragedy of his race. The Negro sang in every number but the natural dignity in the expression o! racial art was uplifted to magnificence by this musician - internationalist.

The Lavender Club met Nov. 4th at the home o! Mrs. T. Johnson. Three things to look for in the new school coats are broad-shouldered effects, slim lines and something new in the way of sleeves. And here's a model that combines all three without sacrificing a bit of its youthful sim– plicity. As you see, it's the unusual collar that gives the effect of width which makes the slightly fitted waist; line seem twice as slim by comparison, As for the sleeves, have you ever seen anything smarter or more easy to h~ndle tha!I the pointed trim111mc pieces?
