 interesting things have taken place this month, and each day seems filled with something at least and has given one all the opportunity to go to places There was the sociological con gess and the luncheons each day at the Tutwiler. and all sorts of club meetings. My dear, you should have heard the women discussing Judge Abernethys speech; there were some that agreed with him and others just as mad as could be about 1t. and I hear are still discussing it.
 There will be an entertainment at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow evening for the benefit of the blind who were made so by the present war. I hear that it will be well patronized by society and pretty young Mrs. William Spencer is heading the list of patronesses. You re- member her, don't you one of the Evins girls-granddaughter of MT. and Mrs. J. H. Woodward.

 ing the pros and cons of a garden a few evenings ago and I happened to be pres ent. The young fellow insisted he would have a garden and that he was going to get small plot from a neig hbor. He was told that the land would have to oe plowed, tools and seed bought, and that sl0 would would not be a great sum for the first outlay-and he nearly went up in the air with the idea-and insisted that he could and would have garden, and I am waiting patiently for him to tell me about what it really did cost him, as he has promised to do.
 Now here is the womans side of it. She says she needs fireless cooker, a sewing machine and other things for the home, so why experiment with garden as she knows with his experience-as he never had hoe in his hand in his life that it will be a failure.
 Speaking of gardens, one of my friends who lives in the suburbs told me that several days ago she glanced out of her window and saw one of her neighbors on one side of her garden and then she could hardly believe her eyes. She said that she was completely awe struck when To and behold it turned out to be a scare crow all dressed up in some of her neighbours old clothes.

Dear Miss Highlands: Will you allow me a stranger, who is enjoying visit to your city, to ask a few questions be- and what I have observed from your keen observation you are fitted to supply me the desired information.
 First, I note many beautiful women on the streets and in the shops and am im- pressed with their over dress for such occa sion. Is this southern habit?
 l also notice so many men in the nov ing pictures throughout the day. Ger tainly this gives a bad impression ot enjoying themselves? Again, if they are out of work, how can they afford to spend money this way?
 The women do not seem to frequent places of amusement in the evening and the men seem to be feasting on the thea tres and shows. Where are the women on these occasions? Is this a permanent many men, but few life partners seem to be interested in the same kind of di- version. Isn't this a social mistake. Any way, it seems so to a stranger so far from home, who is only looking on the customs of a new city.
 Birmingham is new city and I want to ask are these notable features pecu- liar to this city or do they prevail over the entire south? Another fact there seems to be a number of teen age girls who spend the afternoon going from one picture show to another without chaper- onage. Is not this an unusual liberty for school girls? And the school boy, too, is free for the afternoon, apparently noth- ing to engage his time but pleasure To me this appears as demoralizing freedom. Now, Miss Highlands, these questions are from an earnest desire to understand why these signs of changed conditions from what I expected in the land of hs- torical society.
 Your letters are full of nature and Becky must await them with pleasure as do we who rest in Birmingham for many week-ends. They are lines intro- duclng the reader to the world of pleas ure and study and through them peeps into many southern homes. Write more and longer letters for the sake of the readers of The Age Herald.
