SOCIAL EQUALITY URGED | IN NEW YORK. | Girl Society Leaders Dine With, Negroes at a Banquet. New York, May.—Socclal equality and intermarriage between the races were advocated Wednesday night at a banquet of the Cosmopolitan So- clety of Greater New York, where twenty white girls and women dined side by side at table with negro men and women. Whether by accident or design, all of the white women save threefound, when they reached the tables in Peck’s restaurant, Fulton street, that the seats beside them were tobe occupied by negro men. Many of the men were as black as coal. The Reverend Madison C. Petere, who had intended to speak to th society, remained long enough to view this startling seating arrange- ment. As the first course of the dtn- ner was served he called Andre Tri- don, treasurer of the society, aside, and, pleading as an excuse another speech which must be delivered up- town, hurried from, the room. Miss Mary White Ovington, a Brooklyn social leader, who had been prom{nent In settlement work and whose father {ts proprietor of the Hotel St. George, was the only white woman who occupled @ seat at the speaker’s table. Negroes were clustered all about her. The one table in particular which attracted attention was that at which half@ dozen young white wo- men sat, und where the dashing young negro, Captain W, A. Thomp son, sat between two young white women from Green Point. | | ee A FLASHY LOOKING .
