dATTlE HIGHLANDS WRITES OF THE SERIOUS
 WORK. NOW BEING DONE BY ALABAMA WOMEN

, really is worth while to hear those who have gardened for the first time in their back yards comparing the progress of their undertaking. As one woman re- marked, T had my dinner out of my back yard today"
 It certainly is interesting to note the doings of folks. You find everybody has ideas that promote. thought For in stance, I noticed Mrs Sam Oliver hurry ing into picture show a few days ago, and with a suggestion of apology for not visiting little longer on the way with us she said: q am going in to see this picture in order odecide whether my little girl should see the picture later" Now are you surprised that this struck me with peculiar force and wonderful ap- on the mind of youth can mould ideas through life.
 Mrs. James T Meade has returned from a long visit to Mississippi. You know Mrs. Meade has recently written a book. The name, When Was Little Girl" tells the nature of the story and she writes most gracefully of good old days and childish games and pays a de- served tribute to the Negro Nanny
 Mrs Gielow has recently sent me some verses. They are full of sentiment born of southern thought. Mrs. Gielow is an Alabama product and filled with the love for her people and her country. Her latest efforts have been a hard struggle for the advancement of our mountain children. And do you know that really this work is of much importance Our mountaineers are in a class to themselves and will never come into their own until there is greater enlightment carried to their very door.
 There are numb CT of engagements to be announced soon and I hear that quite few were made public today. So you see the Germans haven't caught or killed Dan Cupid. One young fellow told me that he had his license in his pockets for a few weeks and that in these stren- uous times he wasn't going to take a chance.
 Do not be surprised or shocked if the women of your family adopt the latest fad in feminine wearing apparel. which consists of overalls made especially for women.
 I shall write you about them later as I heard that friend of ours already has suit and am wild to see it.
 One of the very incest parties I have nau the pressure OI aItenulnS m a long time was given few afternoons ago by Mrs. Arthur Crowder at the Country club. Everything was so veryeinformal and the most congenial crowd Of people I have seen together In quite while. Mrs. Crow der has wonderful personality and has drawn about her a most enviable circle of charming friends.

)A M(Y DEAR BECKY: Once more we lIWIl are face to face with that con- stantly recurring problem of how best to econoinize when either the indi- vidual or the nation is under stress. This time the question comes to us with an especial appeal. It all the more behooves us to weigh carefully and to consider we'll and let no mere emotion or excitement get the better of judgment
 The lady of the White House and the ladies of the cabinet have seen fit to an- nounee that they will curtail entertain ments and luxuries of one sort or an other. To an extent that is good ex- ample. for we are all too wasteful in this country and we need to realize that the time has come for serious affairs. But or the other hand, the cutting off of ex- penditure by those who are able to pay well is apt to mean suffering and dis tress of one sort or another among those who cater to them.
 A few years ago we found ourselves face to face with serious problems and economy was preached on all sides, Mrs Stuyvesant Fish, as you remember, came forth and asserted that she con sidered 1t her patriotic duty to entertain not alone as much but more than had been her custom, and that she was plan ming to put forth all the money in such ways she could afford. So in one way this is a lesson to bear in mind, as when we entertain there is the baker, the dress maker. the florist and many others who are helped by ting money.
 
 Just now Patriotism and Service" are the watchwords and it seems that many society women have deserted the bridge table and the ballroom and are concen- trating their efforts in more serious di- rections-Red Cross, French war relief and some other worthy charities.

 Alabama is certainly coming into her own. The people are thoroughly aroused to her natural resources, her fertile soil and capacity for feeding the people, and everybody is garden wild" If enthu siasm will further the project, this will be a blooming state, following the next showers.
 Mrs. Mathis has stirred the energies and hopes of the women as well as the farmer and banker. Many prominent women are talking marketing. Among the most enthusiastic Is Mrs. s. L. Led bette She is interested in the home prod cts and markets and interesting such women is an assurance that this plan of diversification means more than a fad Mrs. Ledbetter is one of our most substantial women, and thinks out her plans of housekeeping methodically. She cert ain]y convinces one that good house. keeping is a factor in contentment. It

 The out-of-town guests for the wedding were. Mrs. Mai Hickman of Cullman, mother of the groom; Mrs Drayton and two sons, of Anniston, and MT. E. D. McAdory of Anniston.

in so short a period had within it's gates so many celebrated men and women as have gathered here from all sections of this coun@y during the past few weeks. Now comes Miss Margaret Wilson, daugh- ter of the President. of whom we are all eager to get a glimpse when she ar rves tomorrow. l saw a picture of her a few days ago and she certainly does look just like her famous and beloved father You know she is a southern girl and just see what she is doing for her country and if the war continues l think all of our splendid young girls will be doing their Dit" as Miss Wilson ex- presses 1t. Our southern girls have long since had the reputation of being but terflies, but ere many months the coun- try will be disillusioned of this idea for really our girls are just about the most attractive and cleverest that I know.
 We are dreadfully sorry that Miss Will son will not be able to attend many so- cial affairs before her concert-anyway, she will find that all of Birmingham is glad to welcome and pay homage to her.
 I wrote you that we were to have such splendid pictures in todays Rotogravure of the Age-Herald and truly they are.
 The brides are Mrs. Harry Jackson Early, who was Daisy Lee Douglas. You remember her wedding a few months ago, don't you? and the many very beautiful affairs given in her honor?
 The other bride Is Mrs. Walter Col quit Weems, and I am sorry to say the printers just put her maiden name, Virginia Bridges, and not her married name. Anyway her friends-and she has them by the score-and relatives throughout the city will be pleased with the picture as it is just so pretty and sweet and-nearly as lovely as the young bride herself.
 The picture of Gertrude Mccormack is exceedingly attractive and the love- ly bride of Tuscaloosa is none other than Mrs. Charles F. Finn.
 We were all so glad to see the pie ture of Mable Moore of Perdue Hill, who was the charming queen of Mobile carnival. She was greatly admired and the center of much gayety during her stay in Mobile.
 Another pretty picture Is that of Mime Serio. and indeed she is just as charming and attractive as she is pret- ty. The fetching young Miss in Indian warrior suit is Katherine Kilgore, daughter of Mir and Mrs. William Kill gore You remember her mother, don't you, as lovely Katherine Conner?
 You should have seen pretty little Lucille Turner and the one of Ruth Au- gusta Davis of Ensley. who bears the notable distinction of not being absent from Sunday school in 13 years.
 We'll Becky. dear, I will write you more another day; until then.

impcrtante V formidable que sc ha Ii
brado desde que empezo la guerra.
No parece sino cue Ia acci6n de re-
f~erencia ha sido la respuesta de los
ingleses a Ia declaration del Empera-
dor aleman, de que la ofensiva ALA
da en- ell frente occidental habia sido
contenida definitivamente. BESIDE las
