 T was recently in Atlanta, and it's displays are not to be named in the same breath as the one which greets the eye of those who stroll through the shopping district of Birmingham.

Cnruso,s Secretary


 When I was in New York last week l had the pleasure of a little talk with Caruso's secretary, Bruno zarito," said Mrs. William, Henry Kettig, who, with Mir. Kettlz, re- turned from a trip to New York Monday. T had known him so pleas- antly when I knew Caruso. and was so interested in seeing him.
 T have never seen anyone as sad and dejected as he is over the great tenor's death. Caruso invited MT. zarito and his bride to occupy hIs suite at the Vanderbilt when he went to Italy. last May. and 1t was part of his wedding gift to his secretary and it was at the Vanderbilt that I saw him. Caruso's son was with hIm, and 1t was really pathetic to see how the two missed Caruso. MT. zarito said he couldn't yet realize that he was never to see or hear the great singer again, and his eyes filled with tears as he spoke of the man who had meant so much to hlm and done so much for him.
 New York is filled now with new plays, several having their premier each evening, and among the attrac- tive new plays I saw was 'Sonya,' with Violet Herring and Otto Kruger in the leading parts. also saw Marjorie Rambeau and Lee Baker, in their new play, Daddy's Gone A. Hunting, and enjoyed it, while Lii- liom,' which I saw for the first time, was to me a most remarkable play"

MIR. TOdd'S recommendations coincide
