And then, In the midst of her ter
ror, she experienced so great a re-
vulsion from despair to. joy that a
faintness came upon her, and she al
most swooned.l She saw who the in

t the recess he turned toward her;
and h dim light struck upon him
and showed her the contour OF his
face.
It was her lover, Harry Wether-
mill. Why he had come at this hour.
and in this strange way, she did not
consider. Now she must attract his
eyes. now her fear was lest he should
not see her.
But he came at once straight to-
Rard her. He stood In front Of her,
looking into her eyes. But he uttered
no cry. He made no movement Of
surprise. Celia did not understand it.
His face was in the shadow now ana
she could not Set 1t.
OF course, he was stunned, amazed.

WISDOM

I am not wise in printed lore,
I own no nicely framed degree,
Sad strangers do not seek my door
To gather bits of truth from me;
When graybeards talk I seldom speak,
But4when in winter or in summer
A bathroom faucet springs a Leak
I know enough to call a plumber.
On many subjects I am dense
And many things I cannot do,
I have a little common n IA
Perhaps enough to see me through;
LIDO not claim to know tall,
I gladly bow to wisdon2greater,, n ~
When ! need paper on the wall -
leave it to the decorator.
I drive a car and yet I find q.
Its secrets much too deep for mi,
Mine is no engineering mind,
An Edison I'll never be;
I U the car until it stops, +
And when it will not go I send Il
Without delay into the shops
Where there are experts who can
mend it.
One need not try to know 1t all,
One place is all a man can fill,
The paper hanger cleans my wall,
The doctor cures me when I'm ill:
l hold it wisdom-although you
Perhaps this very minute doubt it,
When there's some little job to do,
10 h1re a man who knows about It.

AGREEMENT REACHED
 REGARDING HUNGARY
By Associated press


 Prague, Czech -Sloyakia, November 1.-The allies and the little entente have reached an agreement on the essentials for discussing the details of the Hungarian situation. The council of ambassadors replied yes- terday to the note of the little en- tente. acceding to most of the de- mands. the allies undertaking to convey them to the Budapest govern ment.
 The elimination of the Hapsburxs as rulers met with no basic opposi- tion on the part of the allies. all though their removal was not sttpu- lated in the peace treaty. It was pointed out today. however, that the question of Hungarian ruler re- mains open.
 The disarmament of Hungary has been agreed upon in principle. and the details are now being discussed as to what extent the little entente will participate officially and unoffi- cially in the supervision. The allies will go on record for carrying out the treaty. The recent Venice agree ment on Burgenlahd Is not affected by the present situation. 1t being a private accord.
 Payment for the expense of mo- Utilization Is still being discussed. Czech -Slovakia will not demobiiize immediately. but will await the vote of tho Hungarian Parliament on the question of the elimination of the Hapsburgs. A half million men are now with the colors.

Re-EmplOyment of
 Chiefs Is Demanded
 By GGdsden Strikers

Gadsden. November 1.--(SpeciaI.)- The Dwight Manufacturing com pany's textile mills at Alabama City were still idle today as result of the walk-out of 1,500 employees yes terday. Union officials said the strike was caused by refusal of the com pany to comply with demands made by the workers following the organi- zation of local union three weeks ago.
 The union committee which ordared the walk-out said that the first move toward a settlement of the contro- versy will be demands for the re- employment of the president of the local union, who was laid off sev- eral days ago.
 Local union officials said the strike was unauthorized. but that it would be backed locally to the extent of their resources.
 Striking employees have not been asked to vaeate company houses No attempt Is being made to operate the plant.

AN OLD RECIPE
 ID DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark
 and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. prop. fly com pounded brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded. streaked or gray Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You will get large bottle of this old-time re- cipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this prepara- tion now, because no one can possi- ply tell that you darkened your hair. as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time: by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

1 thing of music and gaining knowl- ecge of It's beauties and it's influ- ence that l want to remark. Many have little or no idea of really mak ins any sort of professional attempt. but for the pure lyove of the beautiful are anxious to bs able to express In their own small way their musical feelings. What a joy to see the great number of people who are very busy with other pursuits. yet 1 finding time to cultivate a better taste in music and learning to play and sing! Particularly is 1t good to see those who are all day at business and who yet find a way to study find some time they can turn to ac- count for their music. With them every moment Is precious,A and let me add here that they should be an eN- ample to the student who has much time all his own. but who has an | inclination to be lazy.
 Personally, I have grown up, might say, musically in Birming- ham," Mir. Gathey continued, "and must say I am proud of growing up with Birmingham. The musical ac- tivity and the musical environment here in all lines form an inspiration to all of us to do better things in- dividually. feeling that there Is real appreciation of our efforts. Birming- hams music teachers and concert art fists are known throughout the south, and many of them nationally promi- nent. and have attracted attention to Birmingham musically when other 1 wise we would not have been known.
 Mrs Gussen, whose virtuosity has kAa Fa alike. Is one of Birmingham's great est assets musIcaliy," Mir. Gathey declared. "and with such a teacher as she is, as we'll as with others here who are efficient in their work. 1t is no small wonder that Birmingham is growing musically and is attracting attention from the outside world. Truly we are on the map, and there Is reason. Not only the earnest ef~ forts of local musicians are produc- tive of much accomplishments. but the splendid opportunite. given to hear the great artists of the country I don't believe Is equalled anywhere What a treat the concerts were last yearl And noN we are looking for ward this season to an even more pretentious concert season, with the excellent attractions offered by the Music Study club, especially Josef Levhinne, the pianist, whom 1 heard several years ago in Boston. Ger tsinly the galaxy of stars to be pre- scented by the, All Star Concerts, John Mccormack, the greatest lyric tenor of the day; John Philip Sousa and his famous band. the only one of it's kind, and the renowned Cali Curci, will make a triology of beau tiful concerts which cannot be ex- celled. In the meantime the choirt of the churches are doing excellent
 work, and every angle of music seems to be progressing"

GIRLS SHOW INGENUITY
 IN DECORATING TABLES

Montevallo, November 1.--(Special.) ) The graveyard which didn't cost any thing got the prize. No, this isn't a typographical error. It's about a halloween party at Alabama Tech nical Institute and College for Wom- cn, where a contest was held In dec- orating tables for a Halloween dim ner in the dormitory Monday night. The beauty. ingenuity and originali- ty displayed on other tables would have delighted the heart of an How o-Give-Your- Party" editor.
 The judges of table decorations considered originality. beauty and cost. and awarded the prize. a large basket of fruit, to the girls at Miss Dorothy Richey's table, for the most original. Most of the bare table was covered with brown paper. on which was arranged a miniature gravyard with cedars, mosscs, a pond. ghosts walking over the pebbles. earth. and stake-and- rider fences. and among the tiny gravestones. made from an old white pasteboard box. Even the black cats, place cards. were made from paper from around kodak films. SO that the cost of the decorations was ~uothing." The students at Miss Richey's table were Carolyn Wall.

Musical Season 192I-22

..6F1HE season of ls21-22 is sure 80 ly going to be a busy one
 S in Birmingham if all the signs do not fail as forecasted by every angle of music. This Is per sonal qualification to the professional musician to see such amazing enthu- siasm shown on all sides. and those who have worked from the pioneer stages up to the present moment can scarcely refrain from comparisons and remark upon the marvellous growth of Birmingham musicaily."
 Mir. John Gathey. Birmingham's we'll known pianist, and one of the most popular members of the faculty of the Birmingham Conservatory of Music, in these optimistic words spoke to me few days ago co6cernine Bir- ming's musical season of 1921-22, which Is now well under headway.
 Mir. Gathey, who is & finished musi- elan and & gentleman of polish and intelligent knowledge, bespeaks the situation in glowing terms. counting as he does upon the cooperation Of all the musical forces in this great city to pull together" for the good of the community" and thus make tGllluB ctGBA lOHdI0 Dla hdih musical progress.
 Tt seems to. me that the greatest proof of Birmin gham's growth musi- cally," MT. Gathey said, Ifs the great number of music students now in our city; not alone from families who re- side here, but those from distant cities who come here for instruction. Associated as I am with Mrs. Edna Gockel Gussen. in the Birmin Eham Conservatory of Music. am In a po- sition to note the tremendous tn- crease in the student attendance, and to observe all these things in student life and otherwise at close range. Stu dents in every branch of the art. stu dents of all grades of advancement. students of every type, but all with the common thought, love of music. and the intense desire to know 1t. wonder if some of us realize how many!
 "The beginning of the school year this season has brought hundreds of the school children back to their spe- cial music classes and they are now working with zeal" said MT. Gathey. Already the more ambitious are back in regular routine music study, not having waited for the opening of school to set the day for the first music lesson. It Is a pleasure to see their fresh eagerness and hear the,r protestations and promises to accom- plish much during this year. This Is a mark of progress showing that par ents recognize the great value of mu- sIcal influence and are now insisting more and more that music be includ- ed in the education of their children.
 What a splendid thing 1t is for children to grow up in a community like Birmingham-now barely DO years old. as our semi-centennial cell ebration has announced to the world where everything Is growing and

 ''It is not alone of the young music student that I would speak" MT. Cathey said, "of the child. the beginner. for they really form only small part of the student popula- ton of this big city. but 1t Is of the older people who are music students who are intent upon learning some

MORE TRUTH
 THAN POETRY
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

NO TIME FOR MODERATION It Is possibly txua that the half-back |
 who tfeeds With nails in the soles of his shoes l On the qulvering shoulders and el-
 bows and heads Of young men who lie prone in the i
 ooze, May not be pursuing an ethical course, And perhaps, may awaken, too late. To the fact that it's wrong to apply
 brutal force,
 But this is no time so to state. We may be convinced that to kick in the egg
 Of a youth whom one hardly has met. Or to sunder the bones in his lusty young leg So they'll never be properly set, Is hardly consistent with civilized | ways,
 This all Is undoubtedly true. But if you proclaim 1t these fair au- | tumn days Nobody will listen to you. Philosophy teaches that might isn't right.
 That one should be kind to all crea-
 tures
 Avoid any actions that lead to a fight | And never make hash of their fea-
 lures.
 Philosophy knows what it's talking | about.
 To its tenets the world should give ear.
 Which 1t does. in its rational mo-
 ments, no doubt,
 But not at this time of the year. For when bashing face in. or break
 ing an arm
 While gaining three yards with the
 sphere, = Will teach a young person the slori-
 ous charm
 Of unlimited lungs In one cheer. When gentle eyed maids dance about
 in the stand And further advances entreat, With waving and clapping of lily white hands
 Philosophy takes back seat.
 EXPLAINING THE SHORTAGE Il When taxes go up, houses don't. CHEERFUL THOUGHT Don't worry about-the cold snap. The temperature outdoors will go up the minute you start the furnace fire.
