three years.
When on the regular staff a young
clerk receives 5000 to $o47 a year, rising
rather rapidly to 1000 francs 4772), but
afterwards slower. He may become a
head clerk with a salary of $1544, and he
has a remote chance of being head of
the division, with $2316.
Women are not employed In any Gov
eminent office except the postofflce and

badly paid, receiving about three-fourths
of a mans salary.
Young men are specially trained for
service as consuls and employees at le-

Miss L. Graham Crozier, whosee Wag-
merriam talks were given with marked
success in New York last winter at the
waldorf-Astoria, will give her "Parsifal'
Interpretations in Birmingham sometime
between December Is and January Is.
Miss Crozier spent several days in Biz
mingham the past week and consented
TO return south at the height of the
mid-winter season, in order to give her
"Parslfal" interpretations at a time
which the promoters consider most aus
picious.
With the opening Of the season In town
everything is too unsettled TO present 80
ambitious an entertainment as a Par
sifaT' evening and at the close OF the
season-the pre-Lenteu season-there is
much to distract attention, and society
begins its fight southwark or elsewhere.
Between the middle of November and the
middle Of December the season reaches
Its brilliant height, and after talking
with the women most interested In the
oParsifal" lectures, it was decided that
they would be given about this time.
A committee Of ten women will have
charge Of the subscription lists. No ar
rangemauts have yet been made regard
ing the place where the "Parsifal' In
terpretatlons will be given. Tho musical
Illustrations will be arranged for by the
promoters, and they will be given by
Birmingham artists Miss Crozlers story
will fit into any Wagnerian music, and
she leaves the selection entirely to the
musicians.

How to be Happy.

From Success.
Many of us miss the joys that might be
ours by keeping our eyes fixed on those
of other people. No one can enjoy his
own opportunities for happiness while he
Is envious of another's. We lose a great
deal OF the joy of living by not cheer
fully accepting the small pleasures that
come to us every day, instead of long
Ing and wishing for what belongs to
others We do not take any pleasure In
our own modest horse and carriage be-
cause we long for the automobile or VIC
toria that some one else owns. The edge
is taken off the enjoyment of our own lit
tie home because we are watching the
palatial residence of our neighbor. We
can get no satisfaction out of trolley
ride in the country or sail on river
steamer, because someone else can en-
Joy the luxury of his own carriage or
yacht Life has its full measure of hap
piness for everyone of us, If we would
only make up our minds to make the
very most of every opportunity that
comes our way instead of longing for
the things that come our neighbours way.

and she was also entertained at the
Country club. At all times she was the
brilliant centre, holding the attention of
those about her. very much In the same
way that she has drawn to her in the
metropolis men and women leading in
social and professional life. Her winters
are spent in New York where she has
apartments at The Darlington, and her
classes are patronized by the most exclu-
sive of clienteles. AS an intellectual
force among them she has been for sew
eral years a dominant figure, and her
lectures on the most complex problems
cover wide range Of study These talks
are the outcome of years of touch" with
the social and professional forces of the
metropolis, and seine Of them deal with
the young man in commerce and in poll
tics the young woman of the south in
New York, as student, breadwinner and
pleasure-seeker, the field of journalism,
each appealing directly to the people of
the central south. Miss Crozier is also
interested in organizing a southern
league for the increase Of range and
efficiency. These are some of the inter-
esting problems to which she has given
much time, her knowledge of the central
south and her study OF sociology throw
Ing light upon these complex subjects.
Miss Crozier's clearness and directness
constitute much of her power. Turning
from talks that deal in facts and fig
ures. she interprets the motifs of plays,
of dramas of people. She is wonderful.
To-day" she said to me, In speaking
Of the dramas of Fiona Macleod, to
day the minds of men are turning to a
new drama, wherein thoughts and ideas
and intuitions shall play a more signif-
cant part than the acted similitudes Of
the lesser emotions"
