Well, listen:
 The wan little brunette from Buttercup Junction sits in the parlor ter hum and gathers about her Uncle Josh and all i the rest of the "Buttercuppers" while she sings a little ditty of some sort about New York being no place for a per fectly good little southern girl to get along in," or something to that effect.
 "You could sing like canary here in the Fust Methodist church choir says Uncle Josh as he smoked his pipe laziiy. Them city folks don't know talent when they sees it"
 It's all pull and in-floo- -ence, says somebody who has been to the big me- tropols. Why a nice, pretty, refined little girl from the south needn't try to get on in Noo York"
 Then Robert Turnpseed passes around the homemade fudge and they all look through the family album. Primitive stuff, that, isn't it?
 But wait New York isn't built that way.
 The big, handsome metropolis with the white lights is hungry for talent; it doesn't give hip hip-hoo-ray whether the talent comes from Zanzibar or But tercup Junction; there's no place where the stranger with the goods has a better, squarer, finer chance to sell it above the normal price than right there.
 If you don't believe me. ask little Dorothy South, who is not from Butter cup Junction at all, but from neigh boring city of ours, Knoxville Tenn, ana her name isn't Dorothy South at all, but Lillian McMillan; you know, the McMil- ans-the mayor of Knoxville is her cous- ToNT and a Senator or two, and-oh well, the McMllans are just the finest sort of peo- pie and little Miss Lillian, the finest of them all; but she didn't like her name. She thought McMillan too long and too prosy for stage use, so what did this little mite of a pink and white bundle of prettineS do but change it to Dorothy South, if you please, in honor of the part of the country she halls from, and which she loves better than any other spot n the world
 Little Miss South jumped into fame, you might say, over night. She didn't go to New York in a chariot nor on the wings of spread eagle of good luck, it was just a simple case of
 q believe I have it in me; I'm going to succeed. And now for hard work and making the best of every opportunity"
 Which
 It might be remarked en passant is
  a very, very sane way of looking at life in general.
 And so,' pretty little Miss South said yesterday when I spent a delightful hour with her at the Tutwiler and she looked like doll, her big, gray-blue eyes and dark, wavy hair, outlining her vivacious face, as she dimpled and smiled and told me about her career. 'I was willing to take anything at first that came my way I went into vaudeville and did a short turn at that and then what do you suppose happened?"
 Couldn't guess for the life of me, I declared. "Tell me. won't your"

 Mrs Goodall wore a gown of black lace with trimmings of cut steel and jet. Miss Goodall wore a dainty frock of white tulle with trimmings of crystal and sil- yer, which was most becoming to her blond beauty. Mrs G. w. Yancey, Mrs. Eugene Enslen, Jr., and Mrs. Crockett served at the coffee table in the living room.
 The tea table was very attractive and was covered with lace white roses and vallie lilies adorning the center Pink candies, hints and candle shades added gre atty to the beauty.
 Those receiving were Miss Leila Robin son, Miss Josephine Evins, Miss Mar garet Bradshaw, Miss Alice Bowie, Miss Katherine Carey, Miss Susie Green, Miss Mary Ball, Miss Susie Haskell Miss Elizabeth Massey, Miss Katherine Led better Miss Elizabeth Prince Miss Lucy Smith, Mrs. B.

 Little Miss Malvina Coleman and Miss Lucille Smith, wearing quaint costumes, met the guests at the door, receiving the cards and carrying baskets of chocolates.

"Is the stage as hard work as they say?' I asked, curiously.
 Tt is worse than any human being could possibly picture it" said Miss South. Tt means hard work and giving up everything else in the world. It means eternal vigilance and you can't mix drinks, as it were you can't be a singer and play one night stands, and do so- ciety. as I've learned to my great dis appointment, for I have friends all through the south who want to give me a good time and I simply can't accept, that's all"
 Despite all the "taffy' and the praise and the pretty things that the prosy, blase old critics have said about little Miss Souths beautiful voice, her nice little head hasn't been turned-yet, and she modestly says that she's just begun her career" which she hopes in time will reflect great credit upon her

SOUTHERN CONSUMPTION
SHOWS LARGE INCREASE

NEW ORLEANS, Aug 9.--The total worlds
consumption of American cotton during the year
ending July 81, amounted TO 14.Sl3.o00 bales,
an increase of 979 900 bales over the preceding
season and new high record for consumption OF
american cotton, according to statement issued
today by II. G, Hester secretary OF the New

ceptionally noteworthy.

statement, consumption for the year just ended
among southern mills was 4,O4I,OOO bales,
against 3,16S0O0 the preceding year. among
northern mills, 1905, 900, against 2,6l8,0O0 last
year: among foreign mills !, 761 900, against
1888. 900 last year. These figures showed the
gain in worlds consumption of American cotton
was entirely among mills in this country and it
was sufficiently large TO more than offset a
small loss abroad.
Mr.. Hester placed the total visible and invis-
able supply Of American cotton July 81, last
at 3,836,OOo bales. against 1929 .0C0 at the end
OF the preceding season The total visible sup
lily was 2,l29,O00 bales, against 3,2s2 600 the
previous year.
