 It may prove agreeable to many Bir- mingham people who could not go to Att lanta to hear Paderewski to learn how he looks to a southern reporter. We are all, of course, familiar with his pictures, but here is the way he is described in one of the Atlanta papers by one who saw him:
 "A 1.-the, slender, yet powerful and ti- gerish frame; eyes that are between blue and grey but which seem to change col or from time to tlme a strong and hand some neck; features clean cut as a cam co; and hair-well, everybody knows about Paderewskl's hair. Next to his fame as a piano virtuoso is his hair
 "The vulgar world would call this hair, if it grew on an ordinary man, red. But 1t is not red on Paderewski. It is dead gold; an old gold; it is tawny, it Is yell Jewish red; 1t Is anything save red. But it is a beautiful head of hair and any woman might be proud of it. It seems to come from a sort of common center like the radiations of chrysanthemum leaves; and 1t falls about his head like the water of an electric fountain with the red lights on. It shimmers softly in the sun; and is incandescent in the lights of night. Paderewskis hair is a tremen- dous success
 "The Polish pianist speaks many .lan- guages, one of which is English There is considerable accent; but its good enough American for all purposes.
 CT have heard much of the sunny south,' he said, but I have seen none of it since entered this charmed region We entered the south by Louisville. It was raining. We came to Nashville. It was raining. We are in Atlanta It is raining.
 CT was quite we'll pleased with the en- thusiasm of my hearers in the southern cities It greatly helps me in my endeav- ors when the audience is sympathetic and the southerners am told by na- ture are warm"
