CA1TIB Hack aid Ta To Opta At The Congress Casao The well known Black and Tan Social Oub, it a meeting held during the lutnmer when most dubs have closed their activities, decided to show its appreciation to friends and patrons for their liberal support to the club in attending its affairs by inviting them to a complimentary dance which the boys are sponsoring at the Congress Casino, 132nd rtreet and Seventh avenue, Friday evening, September It' is the intention of the boys comprising this club to open the season with a' bang.

To this end we need no more proof thin 'their decision to Ks a complimentary dance at the inning of the season. Being cognizant of the popularity the Black arid Tan Social Oub, we 'can safely state that the Congress Casino will be packed' on this occasion, and that the gaiety which lias existed at all fieir previous tJances wilt dominate this freebee.

7 THE UNKNOWN LADY I. YELL, ALRIGHT, It AINT whit you do it's the way you do it. and it really is funny to everyone but me, to get just thrill, if you didn't cafe what you have to say about some people whether or wrong. Some people, just get a whiff of something and make trouble for others involved, but thanks to some who know and understand the real low down and who are not narrow minded to believe all that is said, because to me that is only cheap Pktyr Now I shall begin to straighten out a few facts which I know to be true and according to Bessie' (Yellow Rose) Johnson's column I shall pick up where she left off, by first beginning on her as it seems as if everyone who attend a certain dance are still anxious to know just who was her escort as she was always alone. Ya3 this particular party invisible? SEEMS AS if a certain Yellow Rose was teen in a stiff argument with one of the sponsors of the Boatride and with none other than a Non Ezcel.

Maybe they can't juat atop loving each other. QELEN (Yellow Rote) BAINES it really was a surprise not to see you on board the Joy Committee Boatride although friend husband, met. a friend on the street as they returning from the trip and inquired if the boat was in and upon getting the right answer said it was time for him to go Now just where was he up until then or what was his story? JJARY (Lea Jolit Amies) HEROD was collaring a metn nod aa the boat was docking. My, but she ia still at her eld tricks and mutt be wherever Don Fair is. And, by the way, didn't he get into hot water, with friend wife and another party whom we all know.

Friend wife decided that it was, time to take a trip and enjoy a beautiful moonlight tide, not expecting to come in contact with someone else near and dear to him. So be on the safe side next time Bob and taka are of your business much better than you did, better luck next time. CERTAIN Beau Erummel of the Royal Poinsetta passed a remark that he had eight girl friends on the boat. Just What does he think he has that makes him so bot? Nevef throw bouquets at yourself my friend as there is 'always someone else who is far s'uperior than you, who never brags. JOT ONLY WAS Pearl (Spotlight) Williams visiting from booth to booth, it seem as if all aboard were one happy family and knew ail who occupied the booths, and I think no more than right to at least speak to the ones whom you have spent many an enjoyable evening with their dances and parties so it goes to show that many a person was doing a criss cross motion (according to Misa Johnson) from booth to booth.

ARTHUR (Red Devils) TILLMAN was very attentne to the young lady of the Bronx who decided that the eartji was a little too small and that it was time for her cash you the main object of her perfection? If so you certainly have laid your larceny. More power to you. JUST TO ANSWER Miss Johnson concerning the cap Wiley (Streamline 12) Young gave me tha money to purchase. It was some time before I returned with the gentleman's change and it was only agitation on Dorothy (Caaa Loma) Upshur's part, because she certainly was along when the money was given to me. He happens not to be an Indian Giver, so it goes to show that I am right when I quote that some people never get the straight of things.

I WANT TO thank the. Unknown Lady for giving me the opportunity of being guest columnist and hope during the time of the other guests she has hid a very pleasant vacation and shall return real soon. QINCS WE HAVE reached the end of the list of guest col umnUts before tbt expiration of the Unknown Lady's vacation, there will be no more "Gang Chatter" columns unit tho Unknown Lady returns to her desk late this month.
