in the Manchurian campaign.

their old Manchurlan acquaintance and

Anne Goldthwaite,. Pictures

Anne Goldthwaite is an Alabamian of whom all other Alabamians should be proud" said Miss Lucille Douglass, Bir- minghams well known artist. because she has achieved such splendid renown
 in her work.
 T knew Miss Goldthwaite very well in Paris; we studied together, lived in the same house, and sat at the same table, and she is one of the most naive, charm Ing and attractive people I ever met.
 "Of course, she has a sense of humor otherwise I wouldn't have liked her so we'll Her work has had recognition from the very start; she is so original and expresses herself so uniquely that her work is compelling and appealing. She follows no set idea or school of paint ing and that is one thing that makes her so attractive to me also. Some of the critics have placed Miss Goldthwaite's work above that of Cecelia Beaux, who has long been recognized as Americas foremost portrait painter. The Art clubs exhibit of Miss Goldthwaites work is credit to Birmingham, and should be ap- preciated not only because of it's beauty, but because it is the work of an Ala bamian of whom all Alabamians are proudr

OLD NAMES IN FICTION

From How the Seaside Came to the
 Ozarks," by Louis Dodge, in the Feb-
 ruary Scribner.
 0NHERE was equal magic In score
 of names which seem almost
 S never heard in these days. These names acquired a radiance in my eyes which the names of generals or statesmen or even martyrs never could have possessed. 'Ivanhoe"-and per haps the enthusiasms of my mother had made me look with peculiar rev. erence upon the names of all tale- tellers. I invested them with almost sacred qualities. I built up personalf- ties for many of the authors repre- sented on those Seaside lists. I was inclined to like Mrs. Annie Edwards better than Amelia B. Edwards, for example. q am speaking now of per sonalities, rather than books.) Amelia B. Edwards, as I saw her, wore glasses and veil which was no longer new. and her complexion was somewhat sal low Mrs. Annie Edwards, on the other hand, was charmingly gay and youth full She seemed rather frivolous, put

FLIRTING WITH HYMN BOOKS

The boy turns to a turns to one she thinks a suitable answer. To observers they are merely turning the leaves of the hymnal, but a really in- teresting courtship is going on. Here is mitted to the Mercury:
 Boy-I love to tell the story.
 Girl-Tell it today.
 Boy-Faint, yet still pursuing. Girl-Come unto me.
 Boy-The half has never yet been told. Girl-It must be told.
 Boy-'Tis love, wonderful love- Girl-Is it for me?
 Boy-Are you ready?
 Girl-In expectation sweet.
 Boy-I need thee every hour. Grl-I long to be there.

Birmingham has had many fine com- pliments paid her but one of the finest heard yesterday" said J. D. Rosenber- ger.
 q took a party of friends from Chicago out motoring over the city, and when we reached Altamont road, Sam Hartmann of the Hartmann Wardrobe Trunk com pany, who was in the party, said that in all his travels he had never seen such scenery and had never been to town of such diversified interests.
 MT Hartmann is in position to know, too because he has been all over Europe; in fact, all over the world. He said he had heard a great deal about Birming- ham, but never visited our city before, but he meant to come back again and look us over thoroughly. MT. and Mrs. Hartmann were returning from their we'd ding trip to Cuba, and stopped off in Birmingham for brief visit"

Because of it's unfavorable outlet, it's small volume. it's snags and sandbars and great sinuosities, navigation of the Murray Is limited to small light draft steamers towing one or two barges.

 In the flood year of 1870 steamer went beyond the Queenslands border along river 60 miles wide, and in 1890 steam CTS on the Darling between Wentworth and Burke ''traveled for hours without seeing any land, and in one instance discharged cargo 25 miles from the ordi- nary channel of the river' But few years later Q902-19O3) the Darling ceased to flow for Il months.

 Yes dollar and half. The auto graph, you know, has an especial value"
 Why, can get a copy of that book at a downtown store for dollar"
 Yes, I know you can, but not auto graphed by the author

LUXE M,LUKE SAYS

The average woman gets her education by teaching men to teach her,
 Any married man can tell you that no matter how much money he makes, his family would need more if he made it.
 The worst day in the life of boy is the one which he gets the idea into his head that his mother doesn't know enough to select his clothes for him.
 A woman always gets her moneys worth when she spends money. But after a man spends his money he sits down and figures out how he should have spent it.
 We claim that animals have no souls. And yet hypocrisy is a quality which dis tinguishes the human race from the brute.
 The reason why woman is so cool in a set of furs in summer is because she can be so warm in an imitation pearl necklace in winter. Unless you can remember all that you said yesterday you should quit lying and stick to the truth. When some argue they remind you of a gunner who is using blank ammunition they make an impressive noise, but never get results.

It must make an old maid who has never even had one chance, mighty mad when she reads of so9le dame marrying seventh husband. girl certainly hates to be thin where she can't talk about it.
 The only reason we know why a family has 10 children is because the parents can't support five. This is an ungrateful world. Tell lie to save friend and he will always re- member that you are liar. It is dangerous to borrow money. We know a lot of men who have borrowed money who are now suffering from q total loss of memory.

Not CIamoring for War

Any person who has ever been through the war will hardly be clamoring for an- other" said Col. T. H. Ford of Franklin, Ky, who is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Mabel Leake MT. Franklin went through the civil war and was a member of the Orphans brigade
 However I do not think that even the soldiers in the trenches have ever suf- fered the hardships and the heartaches that we soldiers of the civil war did. They at least have proper clothing and food, and that is more than we had. l hope America does not go to war. There are those who say that it will end the war.
 T agree with them that it might help to bring about the end, but l consider that the lives of our American boys are too precious to be dealt with lightly"

Spring and the Gardening Fever

With the first few days of warm. balmy spring weather, people shouldn't be misled in the matter of planting flowers" said Hugh Scales yesterday.
 q know the call of the garden is very insstent, and it Is almost beyond our power to resist the temptation of plant ing, but we are sure to have more cold weather, and every flower practically which is planted now will suffer. Even if there was no more really cold weather, the ground itself Is too cold to propa- gate flowers yet and the seed merely rot, and that's an end of 1t all
 Window boxes may be planted with safety and kept in the sunshine, and then transplanted later All herbaceous plants are liable to be failure if put in the ground now Shrubbery may be planted with impunity and peonies, phlox and all hardy flowers. It is much better not to plant now and run the risk of having flowers killed. The wise thing to do Is to wait even if the first spring days are tempting"
