American Legion Auxiliary Begins
 l a m p alg n

< A very enthusiastic meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary was held at the Tutwiler hotel Friday evening, August 8. Mrs. Horace Van de Voort, department president, presiding. The following officers were appointed to hold over until the regular annual cleo tion:
 President, Mrs. O. W. Collins.
 Secretary, Miss Emily R. Mcbride.
 Treasurer, Mrs. W. E. Bare.
 Plans were formulated to make the Birmingham unit of the American Le- zion Auxiliary head the list, and a membership drive will be made in CO., operation with the American Legion. The auxiliary was formed for the pur- pose of giving the women an opportu- nity to work with the American Le- zion in upholding the principles for which this country stood in the Great war. There is a tremendous need for this work. Twelve Birmingham men are in a hospital in Arkansas, a large number are in other hospitals; members of their families may not be in need af funds, but are in need of help in other lines, and this is only one call i; there are many kinds of work being carriede on by the American Legion Auxiliary in other places, and by the national organization. Committees were appointed on hospital work, pub licity, membership and cooperation, and other committees will be announced later.
 The next regular meeting will be held at the Tutwiler Friday, September 29, and it is hoped that a large attend ance will be present, as this is the last meeting before the national con- vention in St. Paul, Minn.

IN MISS BLY's" LIFE
Court Action Reveals Romance Of
 Former Newspaper Writer

The romance between Mrs. Elizabeth c. Seaman (Nellie Bly) and Oscar Bon. dy, which was revealed in letters read before Justice Robert F. Wagner the other day, was one that breathed of a hitherto hidden chapter in the life of Mrs. Seaman. Bondy, who now lives in Vienna, Austria, turned over to Miss By" in 1917 150 shares of common stock of the American Sugar Refining company and a Victoria brooch of con siderable value. The executors of Miss Bly's estate instituted a friendly suit in the New York courts some months ago to determine whether or not the stock should be returned to Bondy or retained in the By estate.
 The matter was decided by Justice Wagner, who stated the stock would be returned to Bondy with the accrued dividends accumulated since Miss Bly's death, as he feels that the writer only held it as a trustee during her lifetime
 The story of the friendship between the couple appears in the letters which were read in connection with the case Bondy wrote to Miss By in 1913:
 "Why did you pawn the brooch and earring? You knew the sugar stocl was your property. To think that should have been able to do so little for you. Don't have any crazy ideas about owing me anything; that is too silly" And in February of 1920:
 Pray don't be foolish about the su gar stock; use it for your own require ments. am not poor yet. The fas tories and art collections still belong tt me, only our money has lots it's buy ing power and tremendous income taxei are imminent" And again:
 Darling, you must not doubt thar you will regain your health anC strength" Also in another letter:
 ''To impose privation on yourself, tC live on $70 a week and to deny your self clothes, would certainly now b. foolish. The sugar stock has now nc other purpose than to provide for the, and thy comfort"
 In an earlier letter Bondy congratu lated Miss Bly upon her return to news paper work, stating he felt it would giv, her new interest again.-Brooklyl Eagle.

 We believe that our experiment is the most significant of its kind in the country" said George Hall, vice presi- dent of the organization. Both the promoters of the enterprise and the workmen feel n sense of responsibility to American traditions and standards of taste in restoring an art which never should have been allowed to languish. American homes, humble as well as pre- tentious, should have beauty and dig nity in keeping with the democratic spirit of our land, and we are profound ly convinced that the renaissance of metal crafts will aid very substantially in achieving this ideal"

FLAPPER's SUCCESSOR?
Will She Usher In The Promised Pc
 riod Of ROmanticism

We have been promised a period of romanticism. Who knows that the no- tion may appeal to the flapper's sue cessor, and that she may not usher it in! Certainly, it cannot happen with out her cOnnivance.
 She may attain great concessions. Who knows that some one may not con- trive, for example, to make gentle speech fashionable, and that she may not, after hearing the shrillest voices in the world. herself become lOw-voiced? It would be a fearful radicalism, but at this juncture romanticism would be radical and, after all, the flapper's successor may hate the noise as much as the rest of us do.
 Who will venture to predict that, thought she may refuse to be a hypo- crite and will know too much to be en, slaved by any awe, she may not. indeed find high satisfactions in the sheer are of being young girl-in rehabilitatinp an art by whose vicissitudes all otheT arts are delayed in coming back .
