Lights and Shadows of Paris

Rev. Peter MacQueen, in Leslie's.
 Paris is immensely interesting from the human side today. I came here first Ill 1888, the year William the Damned was crowned Many times since then have I wandered here For Paris is dream city with the waves and the waters over it. Today it lies in the yellow sunlight of a perfect April The primroses were unfolding in Normandy; the chestnut leaves are un- curling in the Champs Elysees, and na- ture in her grand unconcern of man and his troubled dreams is making the world autiful again.
 But every woman I see is dressed in crape. Even the sunny Galic temper IS clouded with mist which l never saw before in France The first smile l sa" was on the face of waitress at Duvais, who laughed (not the old gay laugh) as solemnly felt in my pocket for two Jumps of sugar which I brought from New fork No use complaining, but simply to make record 1t here seems right to say that ham and eggs and coffee, without sugar or butter but with bread. will cost you & at the Grand hotel, and $1 at the cheap CT restaurants of the famous old DuVa

 Mrs. H. k.

 Mrs. Pearce is an ideal leader in work of this character; a trained ex- ecutive, a successful business woman, woman of rare personality and men, tai equipment, she organizes and anna algamates her forces marshais them in line and works with system and method-the winning card always in any line of work
 From "headquarters" Mrs. Pearce controls and directs the large force of woman workers in the great memorial drive" Yet with all her arduous du- ties she never displays any signs of "fussiness'' or nervous haste; with per feet calm she manages the entire work of the "woman's department which is playing an important part in the drive in which everybody in the state is in- terested.
 Tn order to conserve energy and save the women from being entirely worn out during this hot weather" Pearce said, I've will only work in the forenoon of each day during the house o-house canvas; this gives the women time to rest and recuperate during the afternoons; it takes a longer time to cover the city but it is an easier and better method during the scorching summer days. Oud house-to o-house can vas has IS it's chairmen Mrs. Etta Smith of Ensley and Mrs. L. K. Reed of Birmingham; these women have or ganized their forces sp1endid1y and are prepared to make a fine showing in the drive.
 This feature of the work is under the Eastern Star chapters of Birming- ham," Mrs. Pearce continued. There are more than 200 women who will en- gage in the house-t to- house canvas. So you see that there are no 'slackers' among the memb CTS of the Eastern Star.
 Also another feature will be the last three days of the drive-next Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday," Mrs. Pearce continued, when booths will be : installed .Swn town to catch the con tributions of the floating population. Also the women of the Business and Professional Women's association will cover the office buildings and other places of business in the downtown dis

Atlanta.-Reports are reaching the

are Offering to take Liberty Bonds in
exchange for some other so-cslled
"security' which promises a higher
rate OF interest than Liberty Bonds.
1t Is pointed out by Treasury Of

every dollar paid for them. One evi-
dence OF their value Is the eagerness
Of the Spectator to get possession Of
