E1A TIE HIGHLANDS WRITES ABOUT SOME
 OF THE THINGS SHE SEES AND HEARS

tell you, Beckie, l hear that great treat is in store for all who hear her, as some one who really knows told me that she was a most accomplished per- former on the pipe organ. Of course, you know that her mother was lovely Miss Bertha Marx, who has just scores of friends. We were talking about the two daughters and how clever they were when someone said; Those girls are just lovely. but not more so than their dear mother, for that would be just an impossibility. and I know as I have known her since she was just little girl"
 There is a stunning picture of Mar guerite Lewis, who is a daughter of spending the winter in New York, where she Is studying. She is indeed a fine looking girl and we all think looks so much like her brother Reu- ben, in fact several picked out the picture from her resemblance to him. She is quite popular in the younger set, and as one of the boys told me, Just you wait until she is a real sure enough young lady as she is going to make a number of these other girls sit up and take notice"
 There is picture of Miss Mary Lane one of Clanton's loveliest young women; Miss Minnie Crane, whose en- gagement was recently announced to Dan Monroe and also a picture of Mrs Charles B. Ireland. but we don't think it near so good looking as she. You remember she was lovely Katherine Reynolds. The other pictures were Elizabeth Paramore, a popular mem Der of the younger set.
 Next week we are to have lovely pictures, one a daughter of a promi- nent travelling man, a popular matron of north Alabama, a young matron of Talladega, little daughter of a prom inent family, a prominent musician, well known artist and a lovely school girl.
 Do you know that I got letter from a lady in answer to the letter from Stranger In Town last week, which l sent you? I shall send it to you in the very near future Hastily.

, ing dawns, spring has come and We all seem conscious of it in many ways Now, isn't it just as natural to want a pretty new frock as it is for the tree to send forth it's pretty, fresh young leaves?
 
 This particular season, during the waning days of Lent, is the time that fashionable schools of the country have their Easter recess or spring holi- days and many parents are iourneying eastward to met their young sons and daughters and help them make most of their holiday time. Mrs. John Cald well left few days ago to join her daughter Mary Elizabeth, who Is a student at the Foxcroft school in Washington. They will spend the time in New York Mrs. W. E, B. Davis Is in Greenwich Conn, where she Is spending the spring holiday with her daughter Elizabeth. I sat behind a young fellow few days ago on a long car ride and he was giving the lady who sat beside me his idea of religion which was quite peculiar. He went on to say that women really amounted to very little before they were 30 years old. The lady asked why he said such a thing and he told her that up to 30 woman relied on their charms and after that she found out that she was compelled to use her brains as we'll was de- lighted when a young woman in his party asked how about the men, did the rule apply to them, too?

 Just at this time when all the world seems on the very eve of war it makes it a most befitting time to show our appreciation of what our boys did for us and would do ten thousand times again if the real crisis came; and we feel that a sight of home folks and a word of good cheer would mean much to these brave lads of Alabama, who have had months of real army life and only tiny sample of what real war means They would be the first call ed to serve their country and the very first to answer the call.

is reason to believe, could prevent
military victory over her forces for
three or -four years.
The German objective is To put
Russia out of the war, to destroy the
Russian army as a fighting whole,
and to occupy some Russian city of
importance, such as Petrograd, Mos

shock to the allies Probably Russia
could lose both Petrograd and Odessa
and still survive. petrograd Is such
hotbed of German propagandists
and spies that many Russians would
look upon it's capture by the Ger
mans with a sigh Of relief. The loss
of Kiev would probably be the death
blow to the war in Russia; the loss
of Moscow most certainly would be. -
