Moss, the Harem Dancer, almost sue
ceeded in fooling the audience, who
mistook him for real woman. He
showed fair knowledge of orches-
ography. Oscar Abromovich as
Billie Buck acted the part of a half
wit real we'll. Sarah Lazar as Lilly
Luck, his sister, assisted him well
in her sister role. Polly Silver as
Marcel Blond, Syrna Goldman as
Minerva Wright, Aaron Cohen as Joe
Ziegfeld, Jr., and Jack Bernstein as
Jack Tarr as we'll as Sam Abrams
as Douglas Reid were very pleasing
in their parts. The play was heartily

England in Mourning, But
 Continent More Gay Than
 EDer Says H. B. Gray, L.

''Sobriety and dreariness, pervad- ing even the places of amusement in England, is striking contrast to the gayety of France and Belgium, a gayety which seems almost forced in it's insistence and constancy," sa,d Henry B. Gray, Jr., who, with Mrs. Gray, has recently returned from a bridal journey of two months spent in France, Belgium, England and Switzerland.
 Paris is just as it has always been on the surface" said Mir. Gray. "So are the larger cities of Belgium, but when one lands in England he has come to country which is in the retirement of great bereavement.
 "A bit of bright ribbon or a pret- tily colored dress anywhere in Lon don would, l believe, come as a dis tinct shock to the inhabitants. The show windows of the stores where women's clothes are displayed arc all dressed in black, gray, dark blue or some other equally sombre color. . Because of the shortage of coal and the exorbitant prices which are being asked for it, there is little or no heat i'll the hotels. All of the reS- taurants are cold> and there is no pre- tense of heat in the theatres. Per sons going to the theatre never think of removing their outside wraps dur ing the performance.
 NO SHOW
 "The restaurants and eating houses close at 10 o'clock sharp, and 15 mir- utes after the theatres :.>s out sr night the streets are practically de- serted and people are well on their way home and to bed.
 English people are now lifting their eyebrows at any show of luxury. Elaborate clothes are taboo in all CIT cles. At one play which I saw while we were there one of the conversa- tions dwelt on the extreme bad taste some people showed in using bright colors in their clothing.
 s.In Paris, as a contrast-and this holds good in the other large cities on the continent-the night life is just as lively and just as prolonged as it always has been. Restaurants are crowded to the doors every night and wine and stronger beverages flow freely, more freely than anything else.
 That does not mean, however, that the people of these regions in Europe

 Birmingham wholesale dry goods sales in December, 1920, showed an increase of 23 per cent over De- cember. 1919.

 "While the volume of business done during the holiday season was large, and compared favorably with. the volume of previous holi- day seasons, measured in terms of dollars, a decrease is shown in re- tail sales in Atlanta and Nash vile for December, 1920, over De-. cember, 1912. Small increases were shown at Birmingham, New Orleans and Jack resulting in net average increase for the five reporting cities of per cent. All reporting cities show increases in money volume of sales during the last six months of 1920, con- pared with sales during the same period of 1919, the average for the district being 152 per cent.
 All reporting retail stores show stocks lower on December 31 than on November 30: the average de- crease was 30.8 per cent. This fig ure emphasized the fact that re- tailers have been buying in very limited way and only to meet im- mediate needs.
 Birmingham and Tampa whole sale grocery firms show Decem- Der increases of 45 per cent and per cent, respectively, over No vember sales, bringing the net av- craze decrease to 3.4 per cent for the district. All reporting cities show decreases in dry goods for December, compared to Novem- per cent. Hardware sales during December were less at all points. except Birmingham, which showed an increase of 27.5 per cent.

are living through a time of extrava- gance and heedless spending, such a5 America witnessed in the year fol- lowing the war. Some are indulgilig in an almost feverish gayety, but the majority are buying only the neces- sities of life, and these cost about all that they can rake and scrape to- gether. This is particularly true ot the middle classes.
 Wages have not increased nearly so fast as the cost of living, and all they can afford are the bare necessi- ties. Food is terribly expensive. It is fortunate for Americans that the rate of exchange is so favorable, otherwise t trip abroad would be ou. of the question.
 Business in Europe Is demoraliZed. For a time there was great shors- age of labor. Now manufacturing concerns are shutting down and thousands are out of work. Work ing capital is scarce and the prevail ing opinion is that their only saliva tion lies in further granting of credit by the United States.
 SCARES PASSING
 Work of clearing and reclaimng the devastated battlefields is going forward rapidly in both France and Belgium. Thousands of acres have been cleared and arc under cultiva- ton again; the railroads are entirely rebuilt; thousands of houses have been reconstructed and temporary shelters have sprung up like mush- rooms. They are overcoming what appeared to be an impossible task, and those who want to see the battle fields as they were cannot afford to wait very long. The elements are aiding the people in obliterating the signs of war, and few more years will find so much done that one won't be able to see enough to jus tify trip.
 General conditions are not sucn that one need fear to go abroad. The hotels and trains are crowded, 1t IS true, but by making reservations few days in advance there is no trou- ble. There is no scarcity of food, except milk and butter, and the cafes have much more attractive menus than we nave in this. country Red tape in connection with passports IS the chief obstacle in the way of pleasure trip. This is an inexcusabse nuisance and is discussed in the newspapers almost as fully as is tue fact that the Germans are not living up to the terms of the peace treaty.
