IN\ MY DEAR BECKY: It really seems

1N M1Y DEAR BECKY: It really seems ll\Wll to me that summer and our va SVS cation time never, never begins until after the Fourth of July, as before then we have graduation and church picnics. This only reminds us that the years work is with us still and With these affairs, over has ended as far as the young people are concerned.
 Nearly all of our friends are planning their summer trips, if they are going away at all, and many do not mean to go away for the entire summer. l mo- ticed more than ever this year that Bir- mingham people have taken places near town and are very comfortably fixed. where they intend to remain. except for short flights later in the season.
 I hear that in August many may take brief vacations, but it seems that until that time they will be most content to stay at home. 4 friend of ours said to me a few days ago: Hattie Highlands, the very thought of gong away with the children hangs like heavy cloud over me. f course, we all, l know, want and need change of scene, and l feel that it would be a fine thing for every member of the family, but if 1 am to be the one upon whom depends the getting ready, I wish we might stay just where we are or else be waited to our destina- ton with all our clothes bought and snugly packed away without any effort on my part. Any way, we are so com fortable here at home-why go away?"
 
 Speaking of going away, I never felt so sad as I did Friday, as came up the street with everybody, young and old, '.all eyes for the papers eager to see if my number was drawn" or that Of some loved one, and shortly some Of our boys will be going away and there will be many heavy hearts. But why be so mournful Cheer up, as we have all our part, whether at home or on the firing line" The girls left behind" are cer- tainly going to be alert and ever willing to do their parts. Each and every one ofsus is trying to do her bit'' in helping to alleviate the burden of this dreadful war.
 Quietly and unassumingly are daily tasks being performed and preparations for even greater service is being planned everywhere.
 One lovely young girl said to me in the sweetest little way, We are trying to make ourselves ready for any and every emergency and, Miss Hattie, all this is being done with free and light heart that doesn't bespeak the great responsi- bility that is being borne and the weari- ness and terrible hardships that are and will be felt by us all.
 My only regret" she continued. lis that I can't hold the hands of 'h :, clock back, and thus have more time for the many things we wish to accom- plish.'
 The very same, true little woman said: Wont you impress on all the young girls you know that they must be eco nomical and wear the simplest of frocks." "

 matter of h&arsay that I'm about
 to tell you buta personal observation.
 Last week I paid a little visit to Bes-
 semer and my hostess took me for
 motor drive around the city and
 showed me the handsome new apart
 ment house which has recently been
 built on the old home site of Dr. and Mrs. w. D. Taylor. The apartment building is real credit to Bessemer --its would be to--any city: it is artis- tic, commodious and architecturaily beautiful: 1t has Just been finished. pr. and Mrs. Taylor. who own 1t and whose good taste and judgment the
 pretty decorations are due. will take
 up their residence there soon to oc
 cupy one of the handsomest apart
 ments. The Leslie Carpenters formerly
 owned the corner which the apartment
 occupies and after their departure for
 New York pr. and Mrs. Taylor pur-
 chased the residence, where they have lived fNr the past few years They en- tertained very charmingly in their old
 home and Identified as they are with the social life of Bessemer, and be- ing among the most popular couples who have ever lived there their new home in the modern and up-to-date apartments will no doubt be the scene of many delightful Inequalities for their friends both Tn BlrmlnSndm ana their home town.
 The pictures in The Age-Herald Roto- grsvure today are just wonderful, and you just must give them a good look over" On the first page is a picture of Mrs. John L. Sims of this city and pretty Evelyn Spauldng of Baltimore, whom you remember as the guest of Dorothy Davis in the spring.
 The handsome home is that of Judge and Mrs. Oscar Hundley They have
 leased it to the Wilson's. who have re- gently moved to Birmingham while they spend several months east.
 The attractive young bride Is Mrs. Harry Anderson Burns, who until a few months ago was Vivian Howard. Twas too funny to see the printers er- TOT which made it read Mrs. Mary An derson Burns, when it should be Mrs. Harry Anderson Burns.
 Another attractive matron is Mrs. J. M. Lipscomb. who, you will remem- Der, was So splendid in the "Deestrct Skule," given last. winter for the benefit of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church.
 The other young matron Is Mrs. Will liam Ivie. who was the matron of honor in the Vann-Ganies wedding party early in the summer in Woodlawn.

contact with cluster piles that pro-
