 There's Music in the Air
 When you have been a-vacation- ing in gay New York have you hap pened to drop in after the theatre, at the Palais Royal?
 Of course you have; you couldn't possibly miss it.
 And once there in that spacious, wonderful rendezvous, sitting on the damask-upholstered benches, that outline with border of scarlet the cool gray tones of the lovely place, you see celebrity after ce- lebrity slipping, and munching, danc- ing and promenading-all on pleas ure bent!
 Is 1t the food? Or the surround ings? Or the accessibility? Or the fashion? which draws the immense, enthusiastic crowds there?
 Not one of these; it is the music.

 Paul Whiteman's orchestra, the most perfect dance ensemble ever gathered together in this country js the attraction.

 Just few days ago I received such wonderfully sweet letter from "An Unknown Friend'' who was thoughtful enough to scatter some flowers for the living instead of waiting until we are numbered with the dead.

 Scottie Mckenzie Frazier
 Down or over-any way-at Do than-nestling in it's refined and identified atmosphere in the foot hills of Alabama there lives, as we all know, Scottie Mckenzie Frazier, who is numbered often as Alabama's $ "one best bet"-for she has "done things" accomplished; "arrived."
 New England has her Amy Lowell and Robert Frost; New York her Louis Untermeyer and Sara Teas dale; Michigan her Edgar Guest i; Illinois her Vachel Lindsay and Carl Sandburg; and Alabama claims the south's new star, Scottie Mckenzie Frazier.
 Mrs. Frazier for several years was a newspaper woman in New York {; then she "broke" into the maga- zines with short stories and poems; in December, 1920, appeared her first volume of poetry, "Fagots of Fancy" which was received by the reviewers with whoop.
 Mrs. Frazier was the guest of honor at the Illinois Women's Ath- letic club in May and read num- Der of her poems, which have just appeared, in book form, entitled "Things That Are Mine"
 Scottie Mckenzie Frasier was born in Talladega, Ala, which is an old, ante-bellum town-the type one reads of in southern stories. When
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-12-03

a little child she wrote poems and short stories and believed in fairies
 Mrs. Frasier's particular hobby IS the psychology of business success. She is well know as lecturer on poetry and the psychology of busi- ness and personal efficiency. She spoke Is times to Chicago audiences last spring.
 When the poet lived in New York, Prince de Matta, who is an expert character analyst, said: "I never met woman who possessed three such separate and, distinct sides to her nature as Scottie Mckenzie Frasier, for she was born poet, she has an unusual business brain and she is a little child who will never grow up-one of the Peter Pans that the world will always love.
 The other day 1 had charming letter from Mrs. Frasier telling me of the tour she was about to embark upon, giving "An Authors Read ing" before many notable organiza- tions in Nashville, Cincinnati, Nor gantown, w. Va, and on to New York city.
 And speaking about her latest book, Things That Are Mine" 1t will be of more than passing inter- est to hear what another talented Alabama woman has said of the poems.
 The woman in question is none other than the beautiful Mrs. Lewis B. Woodruff of New York city, who, as Helen Smith, was one of Ala bama's most attractive belles.
 Just here it Is not amiss to men tion that Mrs. Woodruff few sea. sons ago wrote "Mr. Doctor Man, one of her most interesting stories, and presented the edition to the doll bazar for the Children's hospital.
 Of Mrs. McKensie and her new book, Mrs. Woodruff says:
 'tWhen Scottie Mckenzie. Frasier was studying It Columbia iuniver- sity, used to wish could share her with everybody In the world, be- cause of her bigness (as exemplified by her simplicity) her charm of ex- precision, her great talent for mak- ing me see "beauty in every thing" Now that wish has come true; for in her new book of poems Things That Are Mine," all of these traits shine out.
 The pictures she paints are of true simplicity and honesty of real art, painted as wholeheartedly and unselfconsciously as her own per sonality involuntarily gives out its ability to see beauty in all things. Truth is beauty, beauty truth. !" The author manages to make one realize this to the fullest extent

An Appreciation of Dr.. Edmonds
 and His Church

Thanksgiving Day in the year of our Lord, 1922, was of peculiar significance to me in more ways than one.
 Outside of the scores of blessed things that I had to be thankful for-came the opportunity of at tending the Thanksgiving Day serv- ices, a sort of ''house warming" as it were, at the beautiful new Inde- pendent Presbyterian church.
 Nothing adds so much to any sort of endeavor, whether material. spiritual, or otherwise, as an har- monious "setting"-and with the artistically blended colors of gray ish-green and ecru, the modulated tones and tints, the simple yet per feet taste manifested in the ele- gance and appropriateness of every niche, and corner, the exterior with it's graceful lines and pleasing ef- fleets. invites the visitor into what I might term ''the last word in mod ernitv"-when it comes to a church building.
 As I sat at Thanksgiving morn. listening to the beautiful words that came from the lips of the beloved pastor of the Independent Presby- terian church, as he introduced the visiting ministers, who were his guests. the beloved Dr. Broadly of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church; Dr. Hickman of the Edge

comes from Iowa, whence comes
also Mr.. Kenyon, one of the leasi-
ers of the agricultural bloc.
Having in his cabinet a man who
knows the agricultural west as
well as Secretary Wallace it is
natural that Mr.. Harding should
find himself converted to some ex-
tent to his secretary's way OF
thinking. This accounts for Mr.
Harding's tendency to try a COM
promise. He believes he knows the
spirit OF the agricultural movement
but concretely he asks that the
agriculturalists outline exactly
what they do want They will have

The upshot of it all is a unani-
nous feeling that the executive i'm

the Republican party is to go on

legislation are lacking or that the
contest Is for priority of treatment,

Congressional elections are only a
few months away. As a rule sena-
tors and representatives begin then
to cling to the coat-tails of the e1-
ecutive petitioning him for letters
of approval of their respective
courses so that constituencies con-
tanning a big Republican vote may
be impressed with the necessity of
returning the Republican candidare
TO congress. But Mr.. Harding has
hesitated to use the supreme weap-
on at his command. He Is not
making threats even though he
knows full well that in any con-
test at this time over party regu-
larity he would probably win in a
walk. The difference Is just as
much with eastern conservatives az
western radicals. ANY compromise
is a give-and-take proposition and
not absolute surrender. Most OF
the fasteners who have been max
ing faces at the agricultural bloc
and heaping all sorts of criticism
upon it refuse even to examine
I carefully the causes of the move
ment. The administration knows
full well that a group OF American
senators, particularly some OF
those like Messrs. Kenyon and Cap
per, would not risk the harmony OF
the party unless something fund.-
mentally strong impelled them tc
do so. They must know that their
constituencies approve-and Il
large sections of the electorate
stand behind these senators what
then can the administration do te
meet the agricultural demand?
