who went to study art. Sally Whitfield knew from the beginning that Anne wasn't as much interested in art as she pretended to be, but that the real req son she went to New York was on ac- count of the deadly dull life she led at home, and she was dying and hungry and thirsty to meet interesting people and see something of the world. She dabbled. it's true, in art, and Mrs. Whitfield pu. her in with the artist set in New York, and she did two or three very creditable pictures but also Mrs. Whitfield intro duced her to lot of lovely society folk who were very much charmed with this pretty southern girl and the result was that Anne came home engaged to a stun hing New York fellow, and she Is mar ried now and enjoying life in New York, where she has beautiful home and a delightful social position"
 Tn other words Mrs. Whitfield is just bureau of information" Angela sug- gested
 Gall her what you will, she's the finest woman and the cieverest I've ever known. She's helped many girl who wanted to write to meet the big New York news paper people, and in several cases the result has been that the girls have been engaged on the big New York newspapers and have made good She knows every body in every line in New York. and her word means something when it goes with an introduction. So you catch what 1 mean? She's promoter. She promotes art music, literature, Journalism and friendship"
 'Td call her kind of clearing house of cleverness," suggested Angela, face-- tiol sly.
 She is." Miss Petunia acquiesced.. flor she puts the people who want something in a direct way of getting it.'
 But she is so much better fitted to carry on her promoting work in New York than anywhere else" Angela ven- tured.
 There's where you are wrong, my dear" Miss Petunia corrected. If Sally Whitfield had never left the little south err town she was born In. she'd be the same busy person there. No one of us lives life so cut off from the rest of humanity that we can't, if we only will, help other people and make their lives richer. It's the happiness we give others that counts and the happiness promoter is the best investment of all'

The Happiness Promoter"

fact, she has now gone there to live"
 What worked the miracle? Did a fairy godmother come along with a second bag of gifts after she grew up?" asked Angela.
 Tt was no gift at all," Miss Petunia declared. Sally Whitfield deliberately started out to make something out Of her life-to invest the small capital she possessed, and she succeeded. At the first place she wanted to write. She had a tiny rush light of ability. Her kindest friends couldn't have called her style pretty or clever, however, but she worked indefatigably and polished and rewrote and then wrote again, and maybe burned what she had written and then started over and wrote again. She had done very good magazine articles. and one or two books I believe, in which the statistics were absolutely reliable. One could all ways count on Sally being reliable and you know that's a great thing to ones credit There's always a place for a woman everywhere who is contented to do her level best every day in the year, and Sally found herself doing routine work-which somebody always has to do in an office, and hers was rewriting ana rearranging things that people had sent in for publication to a we'll known news paper. Ten years after that she was away ahead of those who had more originality and fire and style in min ute than she had in life time. Maybe they had temperament even, but she had better-it was patience. She'll never get to the top of the literary ladder, but she knows the ones who are there, and they are all her friends. In this way she has gone about everything else Not the smallest gift has she left uncultivated and she's 'farmed out her whole expe- rience, as it were.
 Last winter" Miss Petunia continued. when Nancy Oldfield went to New York, I gave her letter of introduction to Mrs. Whitfield because I knew what she could do for her. I knew what she had done for at least half dozen other girls. and in each case she did quite an much as she did for Nancy. For instance, when Lucy Granger went to New York to study music, Miss Whitfield saw that she met the musical people and the right kind at that She saw the girl taken up by these people and she saw her progress day after day in her chosen profession She did the same thing for Anne Whitmore.

in European securities all reasonable business precautions being taken. of course-but do something as beginning. Then would like to see the corporation in New Orleans put these securities whatever they may be, in trust. and to announce an issue of it's own debentures or obligations against these securities. Feel out the market. see what sort of response it makes. and get the people of the United States interested in this kind of business, and then you will open the way for larger transactions.
 'In my judgment. this is the line of policy that ought to be adopted, and I repeat in closing that the way out of many of the difficulties confronting our country and of the difficulties that are peculiar to the south especially, lies in the development of our foreign trade. especially with the orient. South Amer ica and Europe. We have the shipping facilities and the means are being pro- vided for financing, and what is lacking now is a business acquaintance on the part of our people with those of other countries. and the means of starting something. It is up to some of you to take the initiative and to proceed with this development" (Applause).

HH0F Miss Whitfield were a man.
 Miss Petunia Angel Face was say
 Sing the other day. she'd be called promoter As it is, she's only very kind. thoughtful woman, whose charity is far-reaching and intelligent"
 Angela asked casually more to keep the conversation going than anything else, just what especial charity Mrs. Whitfield was engaged in now, and the answer came from Miss Petunia Angel Face:
 Not any especial charity that I know of. The fact is. I doubt whether Mrs. Whitfield has ever belonged to a char itable organization of any kind in her whole life. but she is doing more good all the live-long time than whole bodies of organized charities composed of we'll meaning ladies and gentlemen banded to- gether for ends less far-reaching than hers"
 Well" Angela drawled, becoming a bit more interested, what for instance, are some of the things that Mrs Whit field does?"
 There's the case of Nancy Oldheld in New York last winter cried Miss Pe- tunia Angel Face delightedly. "She cer- tainly made Nancy's life happier but
 
 she's always doing for somebody" N'Nancy told me how nice Mrs. Whit field was to her. said Angela. T remem- Der she said she introduced her to some awfully nice people, and it meant 8 great deal to her because these same people could help her so much in some work she was trying to do In fact. she confessed that what Mrs. Whitfield did for her in the matter of introductions made her six weeks visit to New York more profitable and more pleasant than that of any other girl who ever was there for that length of time.'
 Sally Whitfield is a perfect wonder, ' Miss Petunia Angel Face observed thoughtfully. T can remember as far back as 20 years ago now Sally Whitfield, when she was much younger, did not even have good looks to distinguish her. She had no especial charm; least of all was she noted for any particular clever jess; yet today she has all three; she is one of the most sought women in south ern society when she goes to New York, where she spends months every year; in
