that national bank which conforms TO a
state law for guaranteeing bank deposits

know propinquity is the main thing lh love. and when a man and his Vile are separated fully two-thirds of the ume, the position is so peculiar and unnatural they cannot seem to help drifting apart in spirit. Il is pathetic, l think. because the separation is in most cases necessary. For two stars to travel together means about half the box receipts that could be earned individually, and then, it's in- consistent, isn't it? The public does not ike to see man make love to his wife. t takes away from the zest of the per formance. The devotion of MT. and Mrs. Sothern is well known. They have been called the ideal stage lovers, and their friends are all so sorry to know Of the breach.

She still says that Edward Soth- ern Is the only love of her life. l am sorry. very sorry, that she has found 1t necessary to take such a step.

This, she maintains, was not the most pleasant work in the world. but the most valuable training she has had
 There is little time for play in stock" she said T rose at o'clock and we were due at rehearsals at 10. There was a matinee several times each week and some weeks every day; then a perform ance at night-afterwards study for a new part until about 2:S0. You see how lit- tie time is left for rest or food. 1 would no rt fhDnUh for anything. The drilling was excellent for me and the plays which l memorized are principally classics which 1 will need.
 Which was the most difficult one?" somebody asked.
 '' 'Zaza,,' of course" was the quick answer. This gives greater scope for emotional acting than any I have ever played, and I like it best for that req son."
 Miss Curtis is to be starred in 1910. Mrs. Thomas M. owen of Montgomery, who was formerly the brilliant Marie Bankhead, is constructing a play for her called "The Kings Lieutenant" When asked something of it's nature the actress said:
 Tt is a very strong story and full of dramatic possibilities. The location Is old Fort Louis de la Mobile. and 1t is of the seventeenth century period There are some Of the most picturesque nttle scenes in it. wonderfully original, and charming. Mrs. Owen is a gifted writer l think-her plays show exceptional abil- ity. She is a woman of whom your state may well be proud. l have never seen anyone with more ambition or will power and this. with her brilliant and versatile mind, l believe will win great success for her in the literary world"

people. They are so sunny and bright and source of infinite pleasure to me. There are a number of young people in the house here-principally girls, however, for there Is a lamentable lack of what the girls call 'suitors. When we first came there was a full moon and the air was so clear that every peak of the snow mountains was visi- ble and the dark wooded slopes near us. The girls couldn't admire it enough. Then there was the beautiful swift flowing river and the calm blue lake and they all seemed to consider its sweetness wasted on the desert air when there was no one to grow senti- mental with them.
 I am glad to hear such good accounts of the Y. w. c. A. work. I was so inter- ested in the association in Paris. One Sun day afternoon we went to hear lecture and have a cup of tea at the rooms. There is little lunchroom right down in the city on Rue Cambon, which Is well managed, with everything dainty and sweet about it, and over in the Latin quarter there is grand hospice where a good work is done among the students who throng that part of Paris The sec retary was very cordial and nice to us and knew all of our secretaries. Perhaps you know her-Miss Patch.

 You can see all the orchards in bloom, An the pictur right next to that corner Would scatter most any mans gloom. But of course, if the summer grows tire

 That was painted most careful and slow While in Birmingham some one asked Mrs. Bond how it chanced that she chose this style of work.
 Well, you see," she said "t became necessary suddenly in my life that I support myself, and my musical educa- ton was the greatest thing l possessed, and so, naturally, I relied upon that, and then it came to me somehow that if l was going to use it for my own good, why l could use it also for the good of others and l have always made it d point never to write anything or sing anything that hasn't a useful message for somebody.
 My work you know, is mostly in the drawing room. q haven't a concert voice. among the indoent leisure-loving, blase society people of the moneyed world, who haven't energy enough to hunt up new interests, and l feel if I could reach their hearts in new way and give them little sermons in an attractive form that my work would always be worth while. And it has been. You haven't any idea how it wakes them up, and the after effects l hear of long afterward when I least expect it.
 Many will remember meeting Mrs. Bond during her stay in this city at a recep-

Miss Curtis?' chirped the inquisitive per- son.
 Instantly two hands were raised depre- catingly. Not that question, please, un- less you want me to retaliate by ask ing how old you are"
 T didn't know was the meek answer. 'Poeple some times maxe their debut be- fore the footlights as wailing infants"
 Well, we will say, then, that I made my first appearance on the stage wall ing infant, and it really and truly was F years agoi" Her face became very seri ous at this point. Sometimes" sine sighed, 1t seems that we must work so long before real success greets us. l don't mean a small modicum of favor, but to be one of the elect at times seems such distant vision, and l can't be satisfied with anything less"
 AS long as you feel that way about it," said person with convictions, T don't see how you can fail to become one of the elect. Defeat comes only to those who in- vite it.
 A woman well known for her artistic taste, as well as being prominent in an exclusive social set says that she thinks the fall hats are ugly" In discussing them at a recent club meeting she said: T think the hats simply hideous, with i their irregular lines-sometimes a long ' brim over one ear, again sticking out over the back neck, Hopping down all i around. Only the faces that are pretty in anything on earth, even a bushel bas- ket or a dishpan could look pretty in the new fall hats, and yet there are women right here in Birmingham who will be foolish enough to wear them" Which re- mark caused at least one woman In the group to visit the shops and see some of these ugly" hats, and to disagree with the very positive little woman about the styles for the coming season. Those dis l played thus early seem principally of tailored variety, large crowns with irreg- ular brims, to be sure, but giving an ar tistic effect that prm, regular lines can- not produce. Many of them have a griebe or breast surrounding the crown. 1 Sometimes a dropping aigrette or wing,
 but the character. or style is perfectly adorable and the simplicity of trimming as seen now is to the mind of one person | at least very attractive.

 Truly, history repeats itself in dress as well other things. strong resem- blance to the old Greek costume is visible in the lines of the sheath gown, the ar rangement of the hair i'll coil nearer the center of the back of the head, the flat arrangement over the forehead. and the one or even two bands drawn tightly around the head The effect is rather that of the head of the Diana of Versailles. Speaking of style in womens dress recalls an amusing, as well IS emhar- rassing, incident which occurred during the past week and was related V Il prominent woman as her own expen- ence. It was caused by the prevailing fashion of the waist opened in the back. She dressed hurriedly to go on a quick errand, forgetting to have her maid fasten those impossible buttons for short arms before her departure. She tripped lightly to the car, then on, feeling proud of her crisp. fresh frock and of her natty appearance. There were only four other occupants of the car-al gentlemen--two strangers, the dignified principal of one of the public sch ools and a prominent real estate man.

 A letter was received by a friend of Mrs. Joseph McLester this week from Thur, Switzerland. where she and her party are passing the summer. The following excerpts will interest many who are awaiting the return of various Birmingham travellers for news of their wanderings:
 Your letter was forwarded me from Paris and found me in very different surroundings from those In which you pictured me. Instead of whirling along the Champs Elyssee in an auto. am using the primitive mode of loco motion-walkng on shady mountain paths. Instead of the fountains which throw up their waters in the Place dc la Concarde, there are silver streams rushing in their riotous way down their rocky channels. No tall build ings or lofty monuments made by the hand of man, but instead We have al- ways before us the everlasting hills crowned with eternal snow. I cant begin to tell you how much 1 enjoy be- ing so near to natures heart. I like the short walking skirt, too. and the shade hat far better than the sheath directorie and plume-laden creation of which you speak, not that I mean to say I would be so gowned if l were still in Paris.

Of course, the opening in the side, without the usual petticoate of soft ruffles is not considered at all, but to quote a leading society women who has spent a portion of the summer at water ing places in the east, there is no reason why the sheath gown should not be adopted.
