Fauset, Mrs. Frances Rainey, Miss Alyce Anderson of Philadel-
phia, Mrs. Lorenzo Harris of Trenton, N.J., Mrs. Gertrude Skid-
more, Mrs. Lucy Litman and Mrs. Nellie Hazell of Philadelphia.

Refuses

Miss Alyce Anderson, sister of
Marian Anderson, has been of-
fered a councilmanic endorse-
ment by the Democratic Party,
but has refused to accept it. She
would have been eligible for
nomination in the second coun-
cilmanic district.
Miss Anderson said she was
to conduct the nationwide com-
petition for the musical scholar-
ship granted annually by her
sister and would be too busy
with auditions to campaign for
the important post.

From the toddling town of Chi-
cago comes that delightful pair,
the A. L. Jacksons and their son,
A. L. Jr. The Jacksons are a tra-
dition at Harvard, and this year
they attended the graduation of
their oldest son. While here they
were guests on historic, pictur-
esque Martin street, with Mrs.
Boone, Miss Alyce Anderson and
the Edward Henry's doing the hon-
ors.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
