Christmas Stationery
Stationery That is Different

To have a true conception of the difference
in stationery, one must examine the product,
see the package in its completeness, the per-
lection of the finish of the sheet, the dainty
manner in which it is boxed, and its aristo-
cratic appearance as it is presented to the
consumer.
Symphony LAWNS the highest grade
sixty-pound paper procurabIe in the United
States it is made in a mill in Massachusetts
from clear spring water and the best material
obtainable. 1t is an exquisite lawn surfaced
paper, produced in a variety of sizes and
shapes, in white and modish tnts, and offered
in papeteries, pound papers, and correspond
ence cards with envelopes to match.

 l wouldn't; that any woman would ever choose becoming stage man. eeer for a show, least of all a l9- year-old girl, but this is exactly what Gertrude Valentine who halls from Boston, has done and she had dropped down out of a clear sky into Bir- mingham just like that; right into the midst of series of stories which deals with successful Business Women" and as she belongs there, here we go.
 A visitor who registers in this class has just as much right to the honor as our home folk and besides the position is so unique, that it in- vites comment.
 Miss Gertrude Valentine has the distinction of being the only woman stage manager in America: she told me so yesterday, after the final cur tain at the matinee had rung down on "The Unloved Wife" which play she stage manages" plays a part" in and designs costumes for, round at the Jefferson.
 What took you into that end of the theatrical game" l asked the young lady, her petite figure and her big brown eyes and her intelli- gent demeanor making her strik- ing figure young, enthusiastic and ambitious.
 Just this" Miss Valentine an swered, T wanted to know every angle of the business. I have all ways loved the theatrical game and during my school days in Boston where l graduated al the Girls Latin school and later studied at the Curry School of Expression l used to take part in private theatricals and that gave me a taste of what the stag would be like.
 Then I began to write some one act plays; 'skits' and other things which were put on the stage and 1t was then that I realized what tre- mendous help it would be to me to know the stage managers end of the game. So after I had worked and played in big stock company in Boston where l had an excellent chance to see. all the inside work ings of things of that sort | began t9 study the stage managers busi- ness.
 My particular business in stage directing consists in giving curtain calls, directing the work of the prop erty man, in other words, taking a world of responsibility for the sue cess of the mechanical part of the performance on my shoulders, as well as playing the part of Phoebe, the

PARK MAINTENANCE JUST AS IMPORTANT
 AS IMPROVEMENTS
Totten Calls Attention to An Oversight in Birmingham's Development Program
 As Outlined

Exception to the proposed issu- anee Of $75o,OoO city improvement bonds for parks and playgrounds as announced by the city commission Tuesday, is taken by Robert l.. Tot ten, chairman of the parks and play grounds committee of the Kiwanis club. in a letter to city comIpIs- sioners. MT. Totten states, however, that he writes as a citizen and not in any official capacity.
 Lack of maintenance funds 60 properly care for requirements necessary to extensive playsroundS, is voiced by Mir. Totten, and he also says the fund itself is not commensa- rate to the needs of a city the size of Birmingham.
 Attention is also called to the anti cipated needs of the city for the coming ten years, or during the life of the bonds. stressing the inade- qnacy of the issue being confined to $750. 900.

 What roles do | like best9 Oh, in- genue roles of course, because that's N hat I've always played and child rarts these have lSsen nay specially because I'm young and because | m so tiny and better suited to those parts than any others.
 My recreat ations? Oh, you'll laugh when l tell you; 1 simply adore de- & gning clothes; clothes for myself as well as for the play and if had not chosen the stage as profession I would certainly have chosen the dt essmaker's art; at least the design ing end of that profession.
 You see some day l expect to produce plays Of my own; l expect to be a real live producer. writing my own plays, staging them myself, designing the costumes and every thing. Do you think that is too much of an ambition for 19ycar- old girl?"
 l said didn't, and then Miss Ger trude Valentine said:
 Because 1 have lived in Boston, born and bred there-the center Of culture and of every thing that is beautiful and intellectual. I suppose l couldn't have been otherwise than what l ana lover of literature and books and music, and all that goes toward making life beautiful
