time to economic problems, said OF a
certain Socialist in recent interview
in New York:

He knows, you see, that socialism

there was any danger that 1t would

Mallet Defends Reciprocity

Portsmouth, England, September G. The features of tocay's meeting of the British association on the subject of reciprocity between the United states and Canada was a paper read by Charles F. Mallet, ex-financial sec retary to the war office, and former member of parliament for Plymouth.
 MT. Mallet strongly approved the Ca- madam American agreement, and de- rided the suggestion that it would lead to annexation.
 "The Canadian nationality is far too great a living force today" said MT. Mallet, Ito be swallowed up in the United States"
 MT. Mallet said that if Great Britain attempted to interfere with the Cana dian American arrangement the~gov- ernment not only would be violating one of the first maxims of the British empire, namely, fiscal freedom for the self governing dominions, but it would be asking the greatest British colony to turn her back on the greatest mar ket in the world"
 The speaker argued that anything which increases the national develop ment of Canada would be a source of imperial strength.

 I'm trying;4 to figure out" the author was saying, s'what it is that girls like fin books. I've written some things that pleased and have good criticisms, but that doesn't pay the house rent, or the grocery man. For instance, was talking about The Glory of Clementina the other day and to my surprise found that the girl was wild about old Ephraim Quix- tus."
 The. woman who used to bean actress, wise in years and long son experience, deliberated the question.

A man who writes best seller ought never to select as a leading character, any man a girl wouldn't enjoy carrying on in a sequel in her own mind. You understand what I mean. don't you? Take MT. Opp, for instance; as much as [ like Mrs. Rice little book for it's sincerity, and it's really artistic worth, it's not the kind of story that either a young girl or an old one wants to read. How could any woman, matters not how sorry she felt for Mr. Opp-who looked like an animated pea nut with whiskers-how could she ever think of marrying him? I don't believe any woman likes the hero of a book to be man that she couldn't fall in love with herself, in real life. Its the same way about plays. play that appeals to a girl because the hero is a man so big and handsome and strong and noble and daring and tender with all the other moving picture show attributes-bring down the house, while something with more artistic merit, but centered about a hunchback, for instance-woudn't pay expenses

 because he's the type of man a girl knows if she went out with him, every other girl of her acquaintance would envy her her handsome escort.

 Why is it?" asked the man.

A graceful hospitality was the lunch con yesterday over which Mrs. E. M. S.. Houston presided as hostess at her home on Quinan avenue. Her honoree was Miss Narcissa MeGurk of Aniston, who is her house guest, and the coterie at the table numbered 12 of the younger set. Mrs. Houston has lived in Birmingham just long enough to be known as one of the most charming women and a charming hostess, though her entertain ments have been few and usually informal. The luncheon yesterday was planned with her usual artistic taste. and her table looked lovely Pink roses were employed to produce the effect and the name cards were delicate scenes of the Japanese type.
 Mrs. Houston met her guests wearing becoming white frock. Miss McGulrk was attired for the luncheon in lacy white gown that was also most attractive and Miss Della Houston received in smart yellow organdy creation. Those who met their guest at this pleasant af- fair were Miss Margaret Latady, Miss Mary George Greene, Miss Virginia White, Miss Martha Latady, MS kath- leen VanHoose and Miss Alice Coughan, who is her guest. The others at the table were Mrs. Houston, Miss Houston and Miss McGuirk.
