where it fastened, the fullness in the
tucks was allowed to flare to give a
pretty graceful finish. At the back the
cOrsage was perfectly plain. From
under the narrow patent-leather belt
came short basques pleated full into
pigeon tails
The chic little toque that was worn
with this toilet was made of three
shades of turquoise velvet, none Of
them very intense, that harmonized
beautifully in the full draped folds
The fullness was all gathered up to
the left side where the velvet was ar
ranged in high bow.
ROUGH TWEED.
A rough tweed gown was of a dull
shade of terra Gotta, shot with black.
The skirt was made with a broad fac
ing at the bottom that was stitched to
a narrow band of light terra Gotta
cloth. This band was almost hidden
with narrow bias folds Of MORE.
A tailor gown that boosted a pretty
striking color note was made of sage
green cloth, shot with petunia. The
skirt was made with a narrow panel
of green bengaline at the left side,
strapped across with heavy military
looking frogs.

JULIAN RALPH'S DISCRIMINATION.
Detroit Free Press.
A year or two ago Harper's Weekly sent
out it's staff correspondent, Julian Ralph,
to visit the greater American universities,
and prepare series of articles upon
them. The university of Michigan was
one of the colleges on Mr.. Ralph's list.
He arrived at Ann Arbor on cold winter
night, tired and alone, and was immedi-
ately driven to the citys first hotel After
a bite to eat the famous correspondent
bought a local evening paper. and settled
himself in big leather chair near the
radiator to kill the hours till bedtime.
About o'clock a dapper little chap
wearing a silk hat and patent leather
shoes wandered into the office, and.
moving nonchalently over to the clerks
desk, passed his eye down the page Of the
register He noted MIR. Raph's sigma
ture, and after a short whispered CONVEX
saton with the clerk during which the
famous writer pointed out he
strolled over to his chair, and, presenting
a card between two gloved fingers, said:
'Aw, you are Mr. Julian Ralph, he
lieve? You will pardon me for disturbing
you, but !. too, am journalist and
thought you might afford me an inter-
view"
He got'no further. Mr.. Ralph glanced
up.
I'm sorry" he said; TIN very tired,
and very busy, and, really, haven't any
thing to say. I'm glad to have met you
Crestfallen the young journalist passed
out of the office and Mr.. Ralph resumed
his reading of the local paper
In about half an hour a young fellow
rushed into the office. and over to the
clerks desk. He wasn't particularly well
dressed. His hands were srimy with the
black of lead pencils ana a shave would
have done his appearance no harm Fle,
too, glanced down the page OF the register.
Noticing Mr. Ralphs signature. he said
to the clerk: Say, Jim, where's Ralph?'

the clerk, softly.
Without further questioning the young
man darted from the desk
Say" said he addressing the man by
the radiator, care you Julian Ralph? You
are? That's good. I want you to give me
an interview on Japan. I'm a newspaper
reporter"
"A what?'' exclaimed Ralph. almost
jumping from his chair.
"A newspaper reporter I said; didn't
you hear me?" remarked the young man.
TN good and glad to know you" cried
,, Ralph. putting out his hand. You're just

mence operations, Johnny said: Papa,
mayn't | go into the bedroom a min
ute?" His father told him he could,
then tiptoeng to the door the deacon
saw the little fellow kneel and begin
to pray.
"Oh. God, papa says that you say,
Call on me in the time of trouble |
am in an awful scrape, Mister God. I
am having lots of troubles. If you
ever did want to help little boy, now
is your time Amen"
That appeal was sufficient. The
prayer was answered and the whipping
did not come off.

The Palsy Blue Cloths-Suitable

Of Spring-Slouses in All Colors.

Paris, February 10.-Just now all of
the tailors are exhibiting a lot of new
models that are exceedingly smart.
There seems to be a tendency to re-
vive the terra-cotta shades that were
so popular several winters ago, and
new rich tint that promises to become
popular is called Mancenillier. The
shades of blue are all very much in
evidence, especially the gray blues and
stone blues.

studying steamships and investigating
the chances for profit in traffic on the
Hudson and along the sound. He
wanted to be one Of the transportation
magnates of New York, and, although
his fortune was small, he had yalua-
Bile ideas, gained from years of prac-
tlcal experience as a steamboat cap
tain, and he felt sure that if he could
get the right opening he need not fear
the greater wealth Of his rivals. He
had complete faith in Mrs. Wander
bits hotel management and knew that
she had saved some money.
In 1929 a grand opportunity came TO
him. The controlling interest in
steamship was offered to him for the
sum of $4,000. His savings amounted
to $4,000 but he did not know where
he could obtain the balance. Natur-
ally, he turned to his wife for sympa
thy, telling her Of his desires and eX
planning the plans by which fortune
would be in his grasp if he could only
buy the steamer. She listened to him
attentively. You only need $4,000
more dear husband. Why, here it is,
she said as if by accident she pulled
out a great roll of money from under
the bed. 1t must have been the proud
est amount of her life. Not for an
instant had her husband supposed she
possessed tenth Of the amount. She
had saved every cent from the profits
of the hotel.
Captain Vanderbilt bought his boat,

owing entirely to his wifes careful
economy.

TIE CITY MUST ,. BE CLEANED UP Authorities Met Yesterday and Decided to Take Vigor-
 ous Action.

At last there has been decided move toward cleaning up the city.
 The question has been much discussed, but it was only yesterday that it was decid- ed to take vigorous action. Mayor Evans, Chairman Pearce, of the police and sani- tation committee, and Drs. D. H. Sholl, s. L. Ledbetter and L. G. Woodson, of the board of health, and County Health Officer J. W. Barclay, met in the formers office yesterday morning to discuss the matter and to take some measures looking toward cleaner streets Dr. Carson, of Bessemer, was the only member of the board of health absent.
 A long consultation was held in regard to the sanitary condition of the city. The question was thoroughly discussed and 1t was the unanimous opinion of those present that Brminghams streets are not as clean as people would like to see them.
 As the outcome of the meeting it was resolved to immediately take vigorous steps toward cleaning up the city. If the present force employed by the contractor for the removal of garbage Is insufficient he will be required to add to his force.
 The senitary officer was instructed to in- spect the streets, alleys and private premises in the city and to report the vio- lators of the sanitary laws and to cause their arrest
 A thorough investigation will at once be begun and every one, no matter how Thigh his titles or proud his name" who violates any of the sanitary laws will be turned over to the tender mercies of Judge Fea- gin.
