 My ambition in life is to be a suc- eessful business man, which I hope to become through the judicious investment of my savings from the baseball incomes. When l was IS years old, just out of college, l figured out that if saved a certain percentage of my earnings each year that by the time I was 30, I could retire from baseball and engage in some business. think it will be cotton broker age as l am inclined rather in the direc- tlon or cotton. l am not going to leave the baseball game soon as there is too much money in it and I believe that I can yet show the American people that baseball player is a real gentleman, a patron or the savings bank and a citizen of the most desirable type.
 While coming south I have heard lots of Birmingham as one of the leading cities of the south and being from Geor- gia, l feel a pardonable pride in claim ing to hail from the neighborhood any how, This city is we'll known in the north and east as a business centre and hustling municipality"

The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

A ND he is so good to me-" said the engaged lady, Herewith concud,

why she Ia s fortunate in being about to marry him.
incidentally, she evidently thought that n Of the very best reasons
perhaps the best.
And 50, undoubtedly. do most Of the ladies who reveI in the splendid
service their knights of the loving heart do them
And yet is it really any reason at all?
Does the fact that the man in love becomes beautifully generous
and tender hearted and chivalrous towards his lady love prove anything
at all, except that he isn't a positive monstrOsty?
All men ire good to the women they love.
1t seem to ne the real test s-has our knight the qualities that
will make him good Ito the woman he doesn't love.
Listen to what Agnes Reppier thinks about it.
at IS not what a ma does when he is in love, but what he does
when he is out of love CPhilip drunk to Phillip sober, which counts for
Characterization. That pleasant old romancer, MAESTRO Rusiciano Of
Pisa, tells IS that a courter once asked CharIemagne whether he held
King Mehadus n his son. Trfstran, to be the better man. To this ques-
the Emperor made wise reply: King MeIiadus was the better man,
and I will tell you why. AS far IS I cal see everything that Tristan did
was done for love, and his great feats would never have been done saw
under the consrant of love, which wa his spur and goad. Now, the
san thing al never be said Of MeHadus. For what deeds he did, he
did them not by dint Of love, but by dit Of his strong right arm. Pure
ly out Of his own goodness he did good and not by cOnstraint Of love-
1T is this element of coercion which gives Is pause Not put of his
own goodness, o out of his own badness, does the lover act; but goaded

1t seems to NE there is a good deal off food Tor thought in these para
graphs for the girl who is choosing her life partner.
Yes, 1 get your objection.
It would be hardly pleasant or convenient for the lady to wait to
tst the true wortho of her lover until the force of his love is spent.
Still I think any woman, 10 matter how much she is in love- car and
should stand aside from her love and try to judge whether this "a who
is SO good to her, the woman he loves, has also the qualities which viii
make him good to the women he doesn't love

come In to dress me for dinner I say
no more of my maid until the appoint
ed hour. I happened to want a glass
of water and rang for it, as had been
told to do in case I wished for any
thing, and I assure you 1t was quite
twenty minutes by the clock before l
could get a response. There are at
least twenty servants attached to the
establishment. but each has his or her
clearly defined duties and won't con-
descend to do anything else. 1t "a be
imagined what happens in a house
where twenty-five guests are being en-
tertained in case half a dozen of them
should desire the same service at the
same time.
l don't believe I had a good bath
while I stayed at Shellbeach, as The
Brownies call their place. Each
guest has a handsomely appointed in
dtvtdual bath attached to his or her
chamber, but the water was never
anything more than tepid. Also my
maid quite declined to do up my hair
in the style which l affect and think
most becoming because she did not
consider 1t modish. She thought 1t
might injure her reputation as a maid,
l suppose, to be responsible for such
an questionable coiffure.
The food was elegantly served and
prepared by a master chef. but to a
person of my simple tastes it was a
trial. With every mouthful of those
wonderful purees and entrees and
desserts I was haunted by the antici-
patton of one of my spells of acute In
digestion. l hoped to escape 1t until |
got home. l didn't, and Ethel, who
came into my room to minister to me,
positively couldn't In that palace with
its rettnus Of servants unearth a sim
pie hot water bag or get piping hot
water to fill a simple little porcelain
pitcher.
Ethel said 1t was always like that
Her cousin, Mrs. Brownlee, was afraid
to complain to the servants. If she
said anything they might leave OF, et
any rate, put on a superior air and
snub her with remarks about the very
different way In which such and such
an a~ristocratic employer bad done
things. You see. the Brownies are
rather new.

mer. Queen Mary Is extremely fond
Of flowers of every description, and
these are placed In ~profusion in every
room. Large bowls Of flowers are just

scent is most refreshing. One Of the

these flowers and to obtain new ones

with her approval she promptly rear

Moving Pussy.

Every one knows the love of a cat
for a particular place, and this love
makes it very hard to persuade kitty
to move when the family does. A GUS
tom tried and found true in England
is to destroy the keen scent which
leads the cat to return to the old
home, and which is carried by the
feet, by rubbing her paws well with
butter.
For the sake both Of cleanliness and
the butter pussy will lick her paws
clean. This, for some reason, takes
away the scent, and she is forever
after contented and happy-undl you
move again.
