Tn its March number. however, Apple tons Magazine prints extracts from q real diary which gives the actual day to day impressions of . 17-year-oid Georgia girl in those trying months when sherman was spreading devas- regions of the Southland. This young girl whose heart and soul was filled with snthusiasm for the cause of the South, was Miss D. r. Andrews. who fs still living. . gray-haired lady now, in her native state. She , protested strongly against having her girlish thoughts; and impressions put before that the editor of Appleton's induced. her to consent to the publication of extracts from her diary. There is much that is frivolous and unimport- ant in the diary as might be expected in the case of a vivacious girl of IT, but these very touches. as in the nar- ration of the April fool antics of the young people. gives the picture a iiv- ing touch and helps to bring into stronger relief the grim realities of war which are so simply told. For in- stance at the end of the long trip full of hardship and suffering which the young girl makes with her sister from Camack to Macon through the region that had just been desolated by sher- man. the buoyant nature of youth crops out in pretty display of van- -ity.

Ior's lectures is also noteworthy a proof of the intense interest in the subject presented. as well as tribute to the magnetic personality of the speaker. Miss Taylor is undeniably fn- teliectual. but with scholarship of q superior type. she combines q beauti- ful spirituality which gives to her . warmth often lacking in teachers of scriptural truths She exempliffes in her own life and personality the beauty and charm and above all the natural ness, of a life hid with Christ in God. It Is impossible to express all that her stay has meant to the women of Mont gomery. Much of her work was done in the quiet, personal interview, where results are not so evident. but quite as mighty. aa those results which can be expressed by statistics. It ts clear that Miss Taylor aroused new inter. est in Bible study as is shown by the long list of subscribers to the Daily Bible.

CINA
VAUDEVILLE BILL FOR WEEK FEB. 24

Little Miss Nette Westeott and little Miss Whetstone have placed lovely pieces of hand-painted China in one of windows It is their own work and they, themselves arranged it in the window By the way, is the same window that we had given up to CAL0X.
 CALOX you know, is the Ideal Dentifrice Don't ycn remember were telling you about it last weekf
 Have you tried it yeti The price is only .23c
 But we are getting of the track:
 As were saying, these dainty pieces of handpanted China were placed in the CAL0X window along with the Twenty-Six, One-eyed CALOX girls. Those twenty six girls have only twenty eyes, but wish you could have those eyes when that China was placed the window. The China is dainty and the CAL0X is dainty. So the two won't quarrel
 If you want any CALoX, phone 90 or 3S.
