 In rebuttal MT.

Hundreds of people must work on Sunday he said, and there is no par ticular reason why moving picture operators should not work.

He said he wanted the rule of reason applied to the ques- tion, and said that there should be a place of amusement for those people who do not care to go to the parks and swimming pools.
 He closed his argument by reading statement from Dr. Scale Harris in which the value of moving pictures as an amusement was upheld, and one from Judge Henry J. Martin in which Judge Martin said he believed moral conditions would be better in Birmingham with Sunday moving pictures.
 There was no decision on the debate and it's purpose as expressed by MT Mudd was merely to bring the facts of the subject to the attention of the thinking people of Birmingham A short open debate followed in which several persons in the audience eX- pressed their opinions on the ques ton.

You can go on taking charge of the house and playing mistress know it's wonderful opportunity for you. but I like to do things for others.

I'll stay right here and be your guest until it's near the sailing date. Jim will be glad to know you are making use of our home. This address ought to be the means of getting Fred a raise"
 Mona studied the pretty, shallow face. Back in high school Doreen had been extremely selfish, but since her rich marriage the girls had seen lit tie of each other and the glamour of wealth had caused Mona to forgeg the many small foibles of her friend. q am so glad you are back she said slowly as Doreen slipped into costly negligee and picked up a novel, be

 indeed, untidy.

 ''But I thought you wanted to take her house." said Fred, bewildered. as had written declining to borrow the house.
 'I did before knew there were so many responsibilities. Then the ex- pense will be great How I wish I had refused outright. simply had my silly head turned by the thought of having our friends call there; of having an evening with that lovely music room and the beautiful, stately rooms with the cool breezes sweeping through. I thought we could have little dinners and perhaps once have a week end party"
 ''Well, you'll have maid to help you if you really want to splurge,' began Fred dubiously.
 T imagine from the way Doreen spoke that Lizzie is rather hard to manage. She may not like guests.
 If you are paying her what has she to say about it?"
 "Doreen said I must be sure and not offend Lizzie; that she could not pos sibly replace her"
 Fred and his wife left their own flat alone while they spent the night at the Brent home. Instead of the or derly home Mona had admired when visiting she now saw an unusual dis order due to the change of plans and Doreen's hurried departure.
 Mrs. Brent said she would leave everything to you" remarked Lizzie, a heavy faced woman of sullen, d;scontented aspect. "She said you were a good housekeeper and would be faithful in looking out for her in- terests. I'd rather you had the job than me, for she's terror to please. shall want Saturday afternoon and evening instead of Thursday, so I shan't bother to return for the Sun day breakfast. I'll get back some time Sunday night. It's going to be very hard for me with the other help gone, but I can see you are used to working hard. I get paid on Satur- days before lunch.''
 The young couple had listened with growing dismay to the dissatisfied monologue. The woman pretended to think that Mona had taken the posi- tion of working housekeeper. And what" spoke Fred with irony. edo you charge for your laborious service?"
 Lizzie tossed her head. My mis- tress paid me $15 a week for the cooking. For this unusual general assistance I shall expect S5 extra weekly and the usual bonus if you have any company. I won't see you again tonight, as I'm going out. All the windows must have the burglar alarms set and the silver must be taken up to Mrs. Brent's bedroom for safekeeping. I suppose you will use that. It is all upset, but''-another toss of her head and the cook van ished, presumably in search of suit able amusement.

 The novel dropped and the lovely figure stretched out in the chaise- tongue waiting for the bed to be pre- pared arose briskly.

 All the gracious veneer that had adhered to Doreen's selfish nature de- parted. If you are not going to stay and keep up this place you can go this very minute" she cried, hysterically. "Of all the selfish women"
 But Mona was already going. "Good-by," she interrupted pleasantly and vanished.
 "Never borrow, never lend, in that way you'll kep a friend" laughed Fred some hours later as they fin ished cozy luncheon in their own home.

Sitting Up Tn a Chair

In a chair if you feel like usually do after an illness. You have been in bed for six weeks, my dear. It is a long time."
 A pillow was placed in the seat of the chair and another at the back. Then a blanket was spread across the chair cornerwise.
 Lirians stockings having been drawn on and the big robe wrapped around her, she sat on the bed with her knees nexed, and Mrs. Riley slipped one strong arm under the girls knees, the other around her back. diagonally, with her hand just under the axilla. and lifted the girl lightly into the big chair. Then the blankets were pinned about her, and the chair was wheeled over close to the window, which was opened. A foot stool went under Lily's feet. The girl leaned back against the pillows | and sighed.
 q don't think I DO feel like walk ing" she said. Tt is lovely to sit at the window and look up and down the street"
 Mrs. Riley rested her fingers on the girls wrist and looked at her watch rather earnestly for a few minutes.
 Pulse True Informant why do you take my pulse ques- toned Lily, while her mother. strip ping the bed, turned the mattress and spread fresh linen on it smoothly. Its the thing to do when one gets a patient up in chair for the first time" explained Mrs. Riley. "One takes the pulse after the patient has been sitting up, too, in order to find if the business of sitting up is prov ing too exhauSting. The pulse is a reliable source of information" T wouldn't attempt to sit up more than an hour the first time" she added and Lily, smiling up. at her mother after half an hour in the sunny window, said: 'I capitniate. ] really think bed looks rather good. I will sit up longer tomorrow" And was tucked into bed again, with a sigh of contentment.

LOST TRACE OF VIRGINIA DARE

While the Plymouth colony Is holding the public interest" says the man who browses through the books for odo items. 'ft may not be worth while to call attention to the fact that the other day was Virginia Dare's birthday
 ''Eho was Virginia Dare? She was the first child Of English parents born in America. She was born at Roanoke Island. N C., in 15S7. 8 years before Plymouth Rock became the door stone of Puritan New Eng land.
 'fVirginia's father was William Dare and her mother was Eleanor, the daughter of John White. the English governor of the second agricultural colony sent out to the Carolinas by Sir Walter Raleigh. When it became necessary for Governor White to re- turn to England for supplies he left at Roanoke S9 men. r women and two children-including Virginia Dare and her parents.
 'Tt was two years later before White returned and he found that the entire colony had disappeared-- men, women, Virginia Dale and all-

 T am letting the servants go. Just keeping Lizzie. If you pay her extra think she will help with the upstairs work"
 Mona nearly dropped the telephone receiver. She had been elated with the idea of occupying Doreen's hand some home while the Brents wen- abroad, thinking that the work of moving would be offset by the econ omy. She did her own work in the flat and did all her fine washing, just sending out the heaviest flat pieces to the laundry.
 Are you there?" The rather pat ronizing voice was not inged with inn patience and the listener colored.
 'Yes, l hear"
 And whatever you do, don't have any trouble with Lizie, for l couldn't possibly replace her. She will tell you ail my ways about keeping the shades down and how l have the silver and furniture polished. I don't see, my self, how you can ever get along with just cook, but, Of course you know your own plans. If you never have any guests and Fred is good about the heavy work you may manage inside, but wouldn't like my neighbors 10 see him do anything out in the grounds The outside man who helps our man will keep things tidy for $10 A week, and you can arrange with him when there is anything special to do. He charges by the hour, but you have to watch him or he will use in- furious cleaning powders on the plas- ter statuary on the terraces"
 T didn't intend to keep any help, began Mona excitedly. T believe that, after all--''
 Don't apologize. Of course you are not accustomed to servants-how could you be on the wretched salary Fred gets. This will be a splendid chance for you to learn, and you will save all your rent. Goob-by, and don't worry if you smash any china. It is all open stock, so you can replace it, but it costs almost double now, prices have risen so enormously" And the telephone clicked as she hung up.
 T wonder if I could possibly back out now?" Mona asked herself des- perately. Instead of having restful summer in a big cool house we shall have a strange servant about at an enormous expense. Doreen didn't say what she paid her. Then, too. the man to take care of the grounds. Dear me. we shall hardly save a thing and we'll have all the packing to do, the settling in the fall, the finding an- other flat and, worst of all. Doreen feels distinctly that she is doing us a great favor. and I have no way of re- turning it."

 Some of the Balinese, particularly the farmers. are virtually serfs. But they manage to live better. perhaps, than their brothers on the mainland of India. One reason, may be, is that the caste system is not quite so op- pressive in Bali as it is in India. Yet nowhere is it easier to tell by a sin gle bit of finery just what the state of a girl may be.
 The ears of the Balinese maiden are pierceo when che is a baby. When she grows up, into the lobe of her ear is thrust a cylinder of bone. When a Balinese girl becomes a wife the bone cylinders give place to cylin- ders of silver or gold. But when a Balinese wife achieves the proud po- sition of mother then the earrings vanish entirely
