Needs Kerosene Stove

Il hope that some of your kind readers
may be able to help me. I am mother of
five children, the baby being several weeks
old. l am much in need of some carpet or
rugs to cover our floors. The walls and
floors are damp in our little place. My
husband has had no work for a year, and
is now making less than Sc a week, SO it
is hard to get along. 1 am also much in
need of a kerosene stove. as we have no
gas hope 1 am not asking for too much.
MRS. NJ. s.
I hope some one may supply one or both
of your needs. and I will be glad to give
your address to the next person offerins :
bits of carpet or an oil or kerosene stove.
You have our sincere sympathy in the
struggle yo uare now enduring. But as lit
tie ones grow older you will, I am sure,
find them worth all the self sacrifice which
their presence now involves. Children
that is, good, unspoiled children-pay for
themselves a thousand times each year of
their precious lives.

The largest private entertainment Of
commencement time was the dance with
which Miss Mary Stiles, the little daugh-

brated the close of school last evening.
She invited 200 of her young friends to be
with her and the handsome new home in
which they met at 7:30-an innovation in
dance hours-was so spacious there was
ample room for fullest enjoyment of the
occasion.
The young hostess in f1lmy white lace
frock with pink ribbons for sash and an
other pink ribbon to confine her hair adj
mirably filled this difficult role, so that
every guest felt particularly welcome.
Four large apartments were thrown open
for the dance and the great broad veran-
da alone was almost sufficient for the big
party. Out there lanterns glowed with
little tapers and other decorations suita-

Bettina. Won Arnim is generally consid-
cred by the Germans as one of the most
gifted of female letter writer's. She is best
known to the literary world by her letters
published as the Correspondence OF
Goethe with a Child
Bettina Brentano was born at Frank
fort-on-th Maine in 1871. Her parents
died when she was young, and Little Bet
tina became the favorite of Goethe Is
mother who resided at Frankfort. Con-
sequently from her earliest remembrance
Bettina had heard the praises of the poet
sung and resung.
Bettina had an ardent temperament and
the name of Wolfgang Goethe acted as
the spell of pswer to awaken her genius,
anu what wasmore remarkable, to develop
the sentiment of love in manner whicls
seems so nearly allied to passion that we
cannot read her burning expressions with
out sadness, when rejecting that she, a
maiden of 16 summers, thus lavished the
rich treasures of her virgin affections on
man so years old, who was anything but
model of virtue. And moreover he was
married man, if the ceremony which
gave his housekeeper a legal right to call
herself his wife, after living for 16 years
as his mistress.
Goethe did not love eBttina, but her
admiration fiattered his vanity, and he
drew her on to- make those passionate
confessions which seem more like the
rawlings of an opium eater than the ac-
knowledged feelings of a female SOUL
1t was in this strikingly picturesque
way that Bettina would address Goethe:
when the sun shines hottest the blue
sky is often clouded we fear the storm
and tempest; a sultry air oppresses the
breast, but at last the sun conquers, and
sinks tranquil and FURNISHED in the lap of
evening. Thus was 1t with me after writ
ing to you. I was oppressed as when q
tempest gives warning of its approach,
and 1 often blushed at the thought that
you would find 1t wrong.

MISS MATTE HUGHES KENNEDY
FNTFRTAINS CLASSMATE

Among other pleasures incident to COM
mencement time Miss Matte Hughes Ken
nedy's afternoon tea for thes members of
the High school graduate class was one
of especial enjoyment. She received the
girls and young men of the class, 1926 in
number at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert A Kennedy.
The decoration Of the Kennedy residence
was effected with evergreens and white
flowers, in recognition of the class colors
of the guests In the drawing room, where
flowers were tastefully distributed, Miss
Kennedy, her mother, Mrs. Robert Ken
nedy, and her sister, Miss Annie Maud
Kennedy, extended a welcome, each wear
ing becoming white gown with touches
of green.
In the living room Miss Lois Davis and
Miss Susie Perry presided over a bowl of
frappe. Their gowns and picture hats fol-
lowed the pretty spring color scheme and
the improvised summer house in which
they stood was trellised with ivy and
white carnations
Miss Duncan and Miss Celia Elliot
poured tea in the dining room, where
white sweet peas resting on a Cluny cover
evergreen made a pretty centerpiece for
the bonbon table. Mrs. Robert Fulton
assisted the hostess in this apartment.
During the tea hour an orchestra sta
toned on the second floor of the residence

taste of the organst, who must have mu-
sical taste and Judgment. as we'll as a
knowledge of orchestration. To use the
soft stops of an organ all the time would
be like serving pie to a guest three times
a day. Very nice, but very tiresome."
I'm the south we have so few organ re-
citals-oratorios,- and church concerts" [
suggested =" compared to what one hears
in the north, which reves in fine organ
lists and excellent organ recitals."
"Oratories were composed originally for
church use," said Mr.. Thomas, land it
is a great pity that we haven't the large
choirs and the inspiration to present these
oratories that is necessary. The first
requisite of course, is fine organ, and
the second is a fine organist In the mat
ter of instruments there has been a great
evolution. In Bach's time it was impossi-
bic to present the f..usic then written be-
cause of the handicap of the instrument.
The old 'tracker action then predomi-
mated, which has since been replaced by
the pneumatic and electric action, which
facilitates the technique of the organlst
and makes it possible for him to execute
runs, 'arpeggios and 'cadenzas,' ex-
quisite legato, as lie would on the piano.
Take the old style fugue, for example, and
the modern symphony: The fugue was all
under the fingers of the organist. as it
were, while the action OF the modern or
gan makes 1t possible for the organist to
present either the fugue or the symphony
as If he were playing on the piano.
Have you ever known an organist who
could memorize the .Doxology?' asked.
Mr.. Thomas smiled in answer and then
said
1T would seem that the Doxology would
be more easily memorized than nearly any
other composition, since it is SO apparently
simple, composed OF common chords only,
but the organist who renders 1t from
memory usually reads from the bass
notes, and one bass note can have very
many different positions of the same
chord. so that you find frequently per-
former in playing it from memory using
much of the old melody with a great deal
of original harmony interspersed."
'The church of all institutions" Mr..
Thomas said in conclusion, is to be
looked to for beautiful paintings, sculp-
ture and music, and If we do not find 1t
there. it is rather discouragng. great
sermon in beautiful church is practi-
cally coloreless without the background
of splendid choir, fine organ and an
efficient organist and choirmaster."

BETT1NA Won ARNlM AND GOETHE

"At last my distrust was dispelled by
words which were few, but how dear! i
can impart nothing to you but that alone
which takes place in my heart. Oh! me-
thought, could l now be with him, my
sun of joy should illimine him with as
forth like bride from her chamber, with
which his eyes met mine! Yes. splendid
indeed, purple sky my mind, warm
love dew my words, the soul must come
fort hike a bride from her chamber, with
out evil, and avow herself. o, master in
future I will see thee long and often by
day, and often shall it be closed by sucn
an evening""
1t was not with similar sentiment that
Goethe would write. but his letters were
of that character as to encourage Bettina
in her belief in his admiration. AS a char
acteristic letter of Goethe to the child,
the following extract is an example:
Thou art sweet minded child; | read
thy dear letters with inward pleasure,
and shall surely always read them again
with the same enjoyment. Preserve thy
confidence in me, and let it, If possible, in
crease. Thou wilt always be and remain
to me what thou art How can one requite
thee except by being willing to be en-
riched with all thy good gifts? Continue
to dedicate lovely monuments of remem-
brance to the fieeting moments of thy
good fortune. 1 cannot promise thee that
will not presume to work out themes SO
high gifted and full of life If they will
speak as truly and warmly to the heart"
The correspondence with Goethe COM
menced in 1907, when Bettina was, as
stated above, about 16, and continued till
1924. Soon after that period she married
Ludwig Achim Won Arnim, who is cee-
brated In Germany as poet and novelist.
He was born and resided in Berlin.
Thither he removed his lovely. but very
romantic wife, and Bettina became the
tsar of fashion, as well as literary genius.
The sudden death of her husband, which
occurred in 1881, left Bettina again to her
own guidance. but she had learned WIS
dom from suffering, and did not give up
her soul, as formerly, to the worship of
genius.

SPRING TERM OF
BALDWIN COURT OVER

Bay Minette. May 3o-(special.,-
The spring term of circuit court which
has been in session portion of the
last two weeks. came to a close Wednes-
day shortly before noon. The at
taches of the court report 1t the short
est session which has been held here in
many years.
The fact that the solicitor secured a
conviction of every case that was
brought to trial is also an indication
that good work was done on his part
The rapadity with which the cases on
hand were disposed of and the fact
that very few cases were continued
speaks we'll for the judge of this dis
trict. The next term of court will be
held some time early in the fall.
