Parker's First Stories.

Gilbert Parker said of his first at
tempt at authorship: Il went to Archi-
bald Forbes, with whom | was ac-
quainted, TO have him give me a note
to the Macmillans, as | wanted to see
whether they would not bring out a
book of short stories for me. He read
the stories and then invited me around
to dine to give me the letter of intro
duction and the opinion of the stories.

seals, netting S45OO0O for the anti-tu-
berculosis campaign.
1t is fitting to note that war inhu-
man and cruel, was the mother of the
Red Cross Seal, and that now war for
humanity against disease brings it
back to its fullest usefulness.
Red Cross Seals are on sale at var
ious business houses in the city, the
Helpers circle of Kings Daughters to

PROUD OF GARLAND.

That Hot Springs and Garland

the matter of support Of the proposed
amendments in the election of Tdes-
day was the source of much gratifica-
ton.
A splendid campaign had been
waged here for the results, and that
the campaign was convincing, is also
a matter of much qualification to
those who gratuitously interested
themselves in the matter.

ported in the other city wards.
me incident marks Hot Springs as
progressive. We need the improve
ments contemplated in the bond
amendment, but probably not more sc
than some of the other cities of the
state.
The full support here for the pub
s licity act does not mean that GarlanC
county is suspicious of her officers
but that AN act which will Great,

WORTH CONSIDERATION.

Every vacationist returning from
thu east comes home enthusiastic
with the splendid opportunity ahead
of this national resort this season.
They all believe that there will be
hundreds of thousands of people from
the east turned to the south in the
winter season. They believe that Hot
Springs will get its share under any
conditions, and viii get the lions
share If the proper bid is made for
that patronage.
Resort patrons look ahead to what
their routine is to be. They make
comparisons between the southern
resorts.
This winter we would like to inform
the resorters that they can bring
their autos along and enjoy motoring
through a scenic country unsurpassed
in natural beauty. We can tell them
they will here find the best golf
course in the country. They can add
healthfulness to enjoyment hy a dip
in the hot water baths. There are
social programs in the hotels which
every year prove of the greatest in
terest and enjoyment. Perhaps we
can later announce that there will be
d racing program each afternoon at
intervals through the season.

back Of many candy shop. These lit
tie establishments I'll a previously UNI
occupied niche. because as they do not
aspire to serve any elaborate cooked
dishes they are In distinctly different
class from other restaurants or tea
rooms.
They are patronlsed almost eAciu-
sively by women shoppers or we'll paid
business women. although men are
quick to appreciate the excellence of the
food and the rapdity OF the service, and
a fair sprinkling OF men is sometimes
seen out Of the rush hours. Another
class Of customers Is made up Of young
girls who would not think Of lunching
unchaperoned at a hotel or restauran Mt,
while the most fussy Of mothers would
probably not object to her daughter
being one Of a group to enjoy Il midday
bite or a cup of afternoon tea at one Of
these candy shop annexes.
The coda water equipment Is an i'm
portant asset In these establishments, as

soups as well as tea. coffee and choco-

eral waters, fruit juices and an I'M
limited variety of the popular form Of
Ice cream known as sundae which
serves as a dessert. Half n pound or
less of candy can also be utilized as an
after luncheon sweet.
With a plentiful supply of lettuce and
celery the ice box can furnish almost
any sort of salad, served with either

Of ships departing from American ports
until thirty days after they had cleared
was issued after consultation with the

the reason. but, IL is understood, sotno

tents of eargoes through the publication
OF manifests. Mr.. Lansing pointed out
that before the war broke out manifeats
were not made public as a rule until sev-
eral days after a ship had cleared.
In some quarters here there was q dis
position to regard the order as liable to
cause the ships OF the allies to exercise
more than customary vigilance and scru-
tiny. searching practically all ships leav-
ing American ports. AS the right Of
search. however. is conceded TO all bel
ligerents on the high seas and shippers
send contraband abroad at their own
risk, the American government Is said
not to feel concerned.
