MILLIoNAIREs GOOD spENDERs

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dis
 patch
 The war baby spenders are not respon- sible for the number of hilarious suppers and bibilous breakfasts in little old New York Not by long thin glassful. It
 is the real millionaires who are building the gay life these days-or rather nights. And in the most natural way they are spending it nightly in pursuit of pleas ure. Now Father Knick dearly loves a spender but not as much as Edward F.. Pidgeon. Mr. Pidgeon, let it be known, is a former newspaper man, but at pres ent he is manager of the Hawaiian room at Reisenweber's. He said last night that the fellows who are slipping five bones to the head waiter for good table, toss ing 20 spots to the musicians and tapping up the fizz waters, are the real possessors of the long green stuff. They are no rela- tion to the newly rich who got in or the ground floor when the war babies" were skyrocketing. And to prove it, MT. Pidgeon called attention to large table where seven couples were seated. "Thre is about $6O0O0, 900 wealth represented in that party" he said. "They are the real spenders and the fellows who hit the high spots They, of course, have been spenders for years, but just now they are speeding up Never has there been such demand for tables. Never have
 there been so many people dancing around. If you don't believe this try and get table here before 3 a. m. without reserv- ing in advance" Some of the prominent people who were enjoying the dances in cluded almost everybody in the social register. They included Robert Sands, son of Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, Sr.: Roy Rainey, well known yachtsman; Whitney Lyons, Harry Oelrichs, William Rhine lander Stewart, Robert Goelet, Robert Astor Chandler, Walter Barbour and a host of others.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Children and Chickens

Children, chickens and pet rabbits cause more disturbance among families than anything else," said Judge H. B. ening to a complaint from a citizen to the effect that his neighbours chickens were destroying his garden. Without 6 doubt more cross-the-fence quarrels are indulged in among neighbors because Of chickens or children than anything else. Those kinds of complaints come up fre- quently and there is no way in which to settle such matters as I know of"

Rev. W. N. Claybrook of St. Mary's- on- ghlands conducted eight ser vices yesteraey and was highly grau- fled over the spirit in which the Easter tide was observed.
 q am sure you will all be grati1ed to know" he said in his short talk at the childrens festival yesterday aft ernoon, that we have served com munion in this church today to 6lo communicants. This is highly pleasing to your rector, for I do not believe, in proportion to it's size. that any other parish in the south can show better attendance at communion for Easter day"

The Veterans Parade

The military parade at Confederate reunions is always stirring feature, and it will not lack in thrill or color next month when the Veterans and the Sons and the Daughters of the Confectionery assemble in Birming- ham for the great annual event.
 Of the four or five thousand old soldiers who will attend this reunion it is safe to say that fully 75 per cent of them will be strong and active; not many so firm of step, perhaps, as Gen. John G. Smith, or so virile or youngish looking as Col. W. B. Leedy, Mai. E. M. Tutwiler or Maj. E. T. Taliaferro, but active enough, never theless, to march without feeling fa- tigue.
 The most moving feature of the splendid parade here eight years ago was the division composed entirely of veterans. The National Guard turned out in large numbers and made fine appearance, and cadets from various schools and colleges contributed no little to the interest of the occasion but it was the battle scared and war seasoned remnant of the Lost Cause that aroused the widest enthusiasm and moved the multitude of civilians banked up along the line of marcf to the highest pitch of patriotism.
 When the annual state reunion was held at Selma last October all ths veterans rode in automobiles, ant when Birmingham began to arrange for the big reunion, it was under stood that all the veterans taking part in the parade would ride. One O the first things the committee on ar engagements proceeded to do was t, canvass the city for automobiles to b. used in the pageant for carrying the "vets." This was on the assump tion that most of them would be to- feeble to walk; but it was good t learn recently that the commander-in chief, Gen. Bennett H. Young of Ken lucky, after having ascertained tn
 
 preference of the division command ders, who had in turn learned tn wishes of many of the camps, as t whether the veterans should ride o march a-foot, announced that automo mobiles would not be needed, excep for such men as were physically dis abled; that the rank and file woul walk, and that he himself, unless h could secure suitable mount, woul walk in the procession.
 Antos for five thousand veteran could be provided without cost or tn

SHAKESPEARE LOVED FLOWERS

From the Rochester Democrat and
 Chronicle.
 As with Biblical characters and the Book itself, so with Shakespeare and his works, a great many foolish notions have sprung up about them and they have prompted countless ridiculous queries, calculations and investigations. Among the wise and puerile suggestions that have been made in conection with the Shakespearean tercentenary is that the cultivation of the flowers the great dram atist knew and mentioned might be en- couraged, and this is not only not objec- tionable. but has merit. We may well know that Shakespeare was lover of flowers, and if that knowledge can be used to further an appreciation of their beauty and the wonders of their growth and structure, so much the better.

From the Selma Journal.

 Just few nights ago when Athens Female College called for help from all over north Alabama, Birmingham respon- ded by pledging thirty-five thousand dollars. The idea was to raise one hun-
 dIed and twenty-five thousand dollars. Birmingham bit off thirty-five thousand of it at single bite, and that's not all. Birmingham friends of the instution sat down and ate little banquet dinner at the Hillman and before they rose up from 1 their seats two of the diners gave twenty five hundred dollars each.

 From Meredith Nicholson's Recipe.
 Meredith Nicholson is going to 0 write a novel in which the beautiful, blonde and blushing maiden will not appear; nay, will not even be mentioned Yes, sir. The noted Hoosiei author confided this secret to the mem bers of the Applied Psychological club the other night. The Nichological recipe for ordinary novel writing IS simple as A B c and undoubtedly the three hundred pages will be dashed off as they have never been before speaking of quantity, of course.
