 Real Living
 A writer in a current magazine, Mrs. Cornelius Conner, tells us what living" really is in better words than I could possibly employ.
 Living" she says. "is Just getting better acquainted with the world we live in. The real purpose of a body is that 1t shall be used up, worn out and then thrown away--in feeding the spirit It Is the natural order that the body should be thus used, and the unnatural and horrible thing is that it should be worn out, and yet the spirit remain unnourished."
 So, after all, the man or woman who lives in the little town or ham, let, that appears to most of us to be such an undesirable place to live In. may get just as well acquainted with the world as the one who lives in the most beautiful spot on earth.
 Where we live may be an accident, but how we live Is design that we can easily fulfill or thwart.

Comemnlem Better Than Riches or
 Much Fine Gold
By DOLLY DALRyMPLE

Over my desk there is a window through which l see only the tops or the trees against the blue sky.
 By standing up I can see more, pct as l sit writing, the view is only the upper parts of the trees and the great spreading azure canopy of the heavens
 Sometimes the sky is all blue; at other times 1t is covered with soft, tIeecy ehiffon-y looking clouds, sail Ing gently by like white ships on 0 summer sea.
 It is peaceful. beautiful view, and as l look at 1t every day I reg lster the hope that 1t may be an inspiring one, for my eyes seek 1t often as l pause over the paper before me, waiting for a new thought to come.
 Our grandsire poets often prayed All the nine muses for their aid; but l, who only wander round
 Familiar ground.
 Sure I can pray For Inspiration much more near;
 My audience dear
 Assist me to asthrone todayl
 Locality
 Had you ever stopped to think there is a certain contentment with ones locality which affords a great deal of pleasure both to young and old?
 To be sure, when we are younger We most of us expect to see part of the world and possibly to choose the place we want in it, but just as often 1t seems that accident. or per haps design, though they may be the same thing under different names, determine where our lot shall be cast.
 When friend of mine who was obliged to move her home In the east on account of her husbands business to a new one, way out on the Pacific coast, she cheerfully re- mar ked:
 Well. don't mind just so long as I don't have to go to Omaha"
 Now, I don't believe she had ever been to Omaha or knew anything about 1t. but, 1t seemed that 1t was because it was the middle west and she hated the middle west because she'd heard so much about Its un- couthness and roughness, and the Pacific coast held out greater att fractions to her for happiness.
 When I get letters and gaily col ored post cards from friends in far away places like Arizona, England. the Azores, Switzerland and Norway, learn of scenes much more wonder full than those round about me. and I often think how lovely 1t would be to have a home in 'the land of the midnight sum-" for instance, with commingling of star light and snow capped mountain peaks in sight. or perhaps in a country where every thing is Finished" and no raw edges are in sight, and where I could have

 c. have repeatedly set out cle- matis vino, both the white and the purple, but they always die. What could be my trouble7 s. M.. Gadsden.
 A Tho main factor in success is big hole, we'll filled with decaying matter such as leaf mold. The roots must be well spread out and care taken not to break. The surface roots should be only three to five inches under the soil level. Watch for disease and insects.
 Q. I always like to know the cor- rect botanical or Latin name of my plants. Will you please give me names of the following? Mrs. J., Tuscaloosa.
 A. To avoid repetition, the fol- lowing is the correct Latin or Greek name of your plants: Maiden hal : fern (adianstum). blue daisy (aga- thea or felicia), lemon verbena (alo- isia), trumpet flower (bignonia). tas- sel flower (breckellia). OK eye daisy (buphthalmum), China sater (cali-

 o. Is the aroma strawberry an early variety suitable for marketY Mrs. E., Ensley.
 A. The aroma Is not an early variety. but is generally classed as a main crop or late sort. It Is one of the most reliable market sorts, fruit large, roundish, smooth, firm, glossy red and uniform in size. It ranks high among a half dozen of the best.
 o. I am told to set out rhubarb or pie plant in the fall. About what time do you think would be proper? Mrs. E.. R. r. D. 9.
 A December will be as early as the roots are available for setting out
 Q. I am moving my residence In a few days and am compelled to move and reset lot of shrubbery. Would 1t help to mulch the ground after setting out? J. H., Bessemer
 A. In moving and setting out shrubbery now 1t is a splendid idea to puddle in the plant, using enough water to settle the soil naturally and firmly around the plants. It Is de- sirable to apply some sort of loose mulch to prevent the soil from bak- ing. cracking and to conserve mois- ture.
 Q. What Is meant by autumn fruiting strawberries? Does 1t refer to the everbearing, and how late do they bear? Mrs. s. M, Sylacauga.
 A. Everbearing strawberries are generally designated as autumn bearing. There are now numerous varieties among the everbearing type and some few berries may be borne in all the fall, winter and spring months. much depending on open weather conditions.
 Q. l have a friend who has a vine called the matrimony vine. Is there another name for 1t. and when should 1t be set out2 Miss B.
 A. Matrimony vine Is common name often applied to lycium bar barum, shrubby climber bearing small purple flowers in summer, fol- lowed by red berries which remain on the vine all winter.

 Orchestra
By JOSEPHINE NIXON HENLEY

Mrs. N. L. Pierce, assistant super intendent of the Sunday school of the southside Baptist church tells of the efforts to establish a Sunday school orchestra and invites young musicians to join that one which has been so auspiciously inaugurated. Of music, she quotes:
 70, music! Miraculous art, that makes the poets skill jest, reveal ing to the soul inexpressible feelings by the aid of inexplicable soundsw
 Of the newly organized orchestra Mrs. Pierce says:
 For months we have been trying to have an orchestra at Southside Baptist Sunday school but any suc- cessful movement must have a lead CT, and as we were unable to find one. our efforts were fruitless.
 Fortunately, we have secured the leadership of Prof D. Agostina. musician of great ability, talent and dramatic power, who will direct our orchestra each Sunday morning. adding much to the reverent beauty of our school worship.
