-Sallie Jones, Camden, Ala.
The above clever poem was written by
Miss Sallie Jones of Camden. Miss Jones
was the first president of the Alabama
Division, United Daughters II the Con-
federacy, and is now honorary life presi-
dent She enjoys the reputation of being
one of the most brilliant and highly es-
teemed women in Alabama. Miss Jones

THE FIRST BUTTERFLY HOME.
The story going the rounds of the press
of Miss Baden-Powells collection of rare
living butterflies, is a reminder of one
phase of an exquisite feminine creation
of Bulwer-Lily. MordaInt in his last
novel. Kenelm. Chif1ingsley.
In the biography of his father, Bull
wer's son confides to the gentle reader
the pathetic truth that in Lilly" is re-
vealed for the first time the personifca-
ton of the earliest heroine in Bulwer' $
own life's romance, and that the passion
and the tragedy are autobiogra phical. p
The love at first sight in the novel is
expressed so naturally, graphically, and
delicately that to even the most ordi-
nary common place reader comes the
suspicion that literature here is but a
translation of experience unaided by i'm
agination. Few scenes in all fiction are
more beautiful than the chapters which
describe Eensifn' first chance meeting
with the maiden and their subsequent
walks and talks by the green banks of
the little tributary of the Thames. where
stood an old summer home of 1zaak Wal
ton, who knew the slow moving rivers
Of level England and wrote of the rivers
of fable, even Of the stream which Ars-
totle described as bubblng. dancing,
flowing merrily or subsidnG to the rise
and fall of the noise of music. and of
the marvellous river of JosePhus which
runs swiftly all the six days of the week
and stands still and rests all the Sab
