 II wish you hadn't asked the Mor- tons." I said
 Why? They're loads of fun and have been awfully nice to me. Nell Morton has been a life-saver for me. taking me shopping in her lovely car. I'd rather have her than all the others put together. If it hadn't been for her I'd have been going on foot ever since we've been married"
 ''Is Jessie well enough to come?' I asked. Yes, must manage to give Natalie a car. She mustn't be under obliga tions to the Mortons.
 Oh. yes. called her up and asked :"
 Anything I can do to help you?'
 Smokes for the men, cigarets for the women, that's all."
 "very well. I'll attend to that" As I made note of the smokes my thoughts were engaged upon the real necessity of getting Natalie car. My wife could not be dependent upon the charity of her friends. We hired a car occasionally, always when we went any considerable distance, but to hire one day after day for shopping wasn't to be thought of and Natalie hated taxis, declared they were dirty, soiled her clothes.
 Mentally I did some figuring. But the amount of upkeep, as I had feared it would, staggered me. If Natalie would be content with a small car at a reasonable price and would drive her self, MIGHT manage it. But I knew she would not be content with cheap car, that she would drive herself.
 A chauffeur at $40 a week. It was unthinkable. She would have to wait until our finances warranted such ex- travagances.
 Natalie, until we can afford a car of our own, I wish you would use a taxi Instead of depending upon your friends to tote you about"
 Ride in a dirty taxi when I can ride in Nell Morton's lovely imou- sine? Not me"
 Have a little pride, Natalie. Use the taxis until can afford car."
 Indeed I'll do no such thing. Nell or the others are glad to take me even if my husband denies me some thing he can well give me-if he would. Use the money you have saved, you will have all your uncle's fortune for your old age, or stop finding fault when. others take pity on me- (To Be Continued)

 At first he had never intended to use weapon, he had meant to go straight. Then an unwise and cruel letter from his father had told the convict that Molly and the baby would be cafxd for. The message meant that he need never return. So he thought no more of going straight. There was q black plan of vengeance in his mind to punish the officers who had sent him over the road.
 The little hand touched him again. I'm Gertrude" sweet little voice announced, 'and brought you some of my mammals flowers"
 The still figure barely moved "I1l put them in your hand so you won't have. to reach for them," she continued. My daddy works away from home, but some day he is coming home. My man. ma says he is."
 The voice froze the man. He lay and listened while Gertrude continued. She told of her grandfathers being cross to her mother for letting her father Ego away from home to work. " Grandpa had been still "madder" be- cause they wouldn't go home with him. But mother was working now and they were happier. They weren't going to use up all of her daddy's money.
 Yes, he is to be coming" she in- sisted. My, Uncle Bob said he didn't think he would, but mother told me not to listen to Uncle Bob. We don't have no company at our house, but mother says not to mind that, for we'll have company enough when he gets home." The mans eyes were full of tears. The scowl had left his forehead.

 The thought of Ned Church and his limousine rushed over me. He had been at the dancing place and had offered to bring her home. If she had had her own car he would have had no excuse to offer his services.
 Natalie said no more about a car but the look on her face made me al. most sure of Neds acting as escort was the right one and that she resented the necessity of accepting his offer. Of course she might have taken a taxi, or the Mortons might have dropped her off-but-if I could manage a car she would be independent of them all. 1 probably would be away often. could not expect her to remain at home alone.
 Yet after I had paid her monthly bills, including the one for the gown she had worn the night of my return from Boston, l decided it was impossi- ble. How could she spend so much l gave her an allowance for the house but she had refused one for her per sonal expenses, saying she'd rather have charge accounts and let me pay the bills monthly.

 We must give a dinner party, Natalie declared. "We are terribly ir debt to people,"

TREND OF FASHION

The selection of satin and crepe de chine for costumes decidedly in formal in character has already been commented upon and each week the appearance of new mod els emphasizes the adaptability of these materials to sport clothes.
 From Southern resorts comes the report that the one or two-piece frock of white satin, or white com bined with black, has been among the successes of the season. And the most casual fashion observer cannot fail to have noticed that even the simplest and most youth full models are often of black satin.
 New versions of the garcon frock are made of black satin ad crepe de chine, with collars and cuffs of sheer organdie or heavier linen and pique. With these are worn vivid ties of crepe de chine or one of the new rectangular scarfs in the gay est colors.
 One of the most interesting mod els to be shown within the past week is illustrated in the sketch. Developed in black satin, its note worthy features are the brief little sleeves, the binding of white crepe de chine, and the slight nipped-in Iook at the Waistline
 The hat of straw has roll brim bound with satin and loops of satin ribbon are placed a little to the back of the crown. This tendency to trim the back of hat is one of the millinery phases of the moment. Both flowers and ribbon are used in this way and the effect is exceed i,, oI1y cy,,ort

Pupil s Lunch Is No Simple Task
 For Mother
By EMil!E HOFFMAN

The care and filling of the lunch-box is no simple item in the mothers tasks. It requires careful planning to pack a lunch so that when the child opens the box the contents will appeal to the appetite.
 The container itself must receive con- sideration. Most boys prefer paste board box that can be discarded after being emptied. but in this case perfora- tions for ventilation are necessary in the boxes. Girls like attractive lunch boxes or baskets. They should be aired all night and in the sun whenever pos- sible. Tin boxes should be scalded as soon as brought home. Many child hsa been robbed of a good appetite by the unpleasant odor that came out of the lunch box when the cover was lifted.
 Do not put anything with strong odor into lunch box and be sure ev- erything is perfectly fRsh and sound. Fried foods and pastry should never have place in the lunch box Or school children.
 Wrap each article of food in waxed paper. This is hygienic as well as dainty.
 It is a mistake to consult the child AS to the contents or the Dox. One mother whose children never bring home leftover food makes the box surprise box. The children are not told what the boxes contain. When the lunch hour arrives the hungry students eagerly open their boxes and the. antici- patton gives zest to their appetites. --
 This mother plans the box lunches quite as carefully as she does the home meals and she never clogs the mental abilities of hr childrn by heavy or unwholesome foods. This is most important. The lunch box should con- tain a properly balanced meal. Sweets can be served in one of the sandwiches, but the fruit, which should be included every day, will give ample sweets. Cake is best left out of the lunch box A small securely covered cup of custard makes a good lunch box dessert.

 There's a revolver in my bak," he whispered. '.I want you to take 1t and get rid of it. And then won't you please call Gertrude's mother? I'
 The nurse stopped and slipped Ger trude's little hand into his. She, too, had heard the story from the little girl and knew all it's details. Her eyes were full of tears, but she smiled.
 Yes, I'll call her." she said. ''She told Gertrude you'd he hack soon, but I don't think even she knew it would be today"

The gray ambulance turned the cor. ner of the avenue and crawled up to the hospital entrance. It was greeted by a stare of interest from the con valescent patients and visitors in the yard.
 The little girl whose head was still bandaged from her mastoid operation edged up to her visiting mother and rested her thin little hand on her mothers. "He can have some of my flowers," she said.
 | They opened the ambulance door and carried a covered stretcher up the high steps into the first corridor, around the corner and to the northeast room. The tall head surgeon with the thin face was in the room waiting.
 No bones are broken-just bruised" " words professionally. though he smiled low directions. I'll be back later.''
 He stopped at the desk to give in formation about the new patient. Just got off the train and left the station when the automobile hit him, y he said. Mighty intelligent looking young fellow. His face was sort of fa- miliar but his name wasn't. Get it ? Did you!" ..
 The nurses eyes clouded with sym pathy. She felt something tugging at her skirt and looked down into the brown eyes of the little girl recovering from the mastoid operation.
 T want to take the new sick man some of my flowers" she said. Mother said I could. She said there were more for me at home.'
 Not now, Gertrude, dear" The nurse smiled at the little girl. ,
 Ths little girl walked away. She would leave the hospital in a few min utes with. the mother who was now packing up the little one's clothes in the children's room. They were going back to the home that the mother was trying to keep together. Her husband had been let out of Sing Sings gates three weeks before. Something wc don't understand is keeping him away she explained
 The little girl slipped around the corridor and to the door of the north east room. The curtains at the win dow were swaying. The soft odor of ether rushed out to meet the child, but she didn't mind that. The nurse was gone and the little girl was called.
 Slyly she slipped up to the bed and

HAVE A MANTEL SHELF

Most of the remodeled apartments that house the great army of business folk consist of little rooms which are appalling in their unlikeness to anything resembling a home. Lucky is he who cnn boast of fireplace, and who is there that does not feel the need of at least mantel for the clock. In a little restaurant, famous for it's nominees, there is no such a thing as a fireplace. but the hostess ingeniously contrived to put over the idea of one by con strupcting mantel shelf for the old fashioned clock and painting the wall beneath it 10 initiate bricks. It might not be advisable to do the brick trick but you can make a nice wide mantel shelf 10 accommodate the clock and candlesticks and any odd plates you might possess. They will repay you for your tCoutle by at once creating a honey look.

 FOR WHEAT ARMY
Set Wage Scale Is Ambi- ton Of National Labor
 Exchange

KANSAS CITY, May 1s.-The southwest is preparing to receive Amer ica's army of wheat harvesters.
 Fro mthe north. east and south they will be coming soon, the wheat states as their mecca, some of the more fortunate riding the cushions, others on the rods and many afoot.
 The usual large number is expected from ChicBgo's port of missing men, West Madison street, where the human derelicts gather in front of the numer- ous free employment agencies anxious Iy seeking chance to get shipped out
 A special committee of the national Farm Labor exchange has commenced it's preparations by attempting to fix the wage scale for. the harvest fields in Kansas, one of the greatest wheat-pro- ducing states in the country.
 A proposed scale of $3 day and board in eastern Kansas, $4 in central Kansas and $5 in the western portion of the state is understood to have been approved.
 Governors of states in the wheat belt will be asked to call on railroads to fur nish cheap transportation for harvest labOrers on passenger trains and not to arrest those who choose to ride on freight trains. a

FARCE COMEDY ALL THIS V EEK Four Featured Roles In Broadway Success At
 Jefferson

Birmingham theatre-goers are assured another week of merriment. because the Ali-Star Jefferson Players are offering another comedy success, "In Lowe With Love-" which will have its premier southern presentation tonight. It is a comedy of the same enviable mold as that great success 'sThe First YeaF There are four featured roles, portrayed by Miss Tamzon Maker, J. Glynn Mac Farlane. Russell Fillmore and DeFor- rest Dawley.
 Tn; Love With Love-" is built around a theme that is itself of no mean importance in the scheme of life. It embodies the profound truth that girls, when they first reach the mating age, and all the young intoxication of sex is. fresh upon them, are really not in love at all with the specific members of the male sex who may be ardently wooing them, but are instead very much in love with love, and all the wonderful new emotions and sensa- tions they are experiencing for the first time.
 Out of this being in love with love and its consequent mismatingsS much of life's tragedy has been made But Yin. cent Lawrence, greatest of all the younger American playwrights, has chosen to treat the subject from it's humofous rather than its serious angle, and has made it the basis for. rOllick- ing comedy that is bound to convulse local theatre-goers just as much as it did Broadwayites for six months.

IS DUBIOUS ABOUT MEETING Little Hope Seen For East Lake Settlement
 Monday

Not much is expected by city of ficials from the conference, called for Monday between city commissioners, representatives of East Lake and of ficials of the street car company.
 The Birmingham Electric company has agreed to spend nearly half mil lion dollars, it was pointed out by city offices in street improvements along First avenue which, under the law, it could not be forced to do. Whether or not the company will spend even more money in street improvement is doubtful.
 President D. E. McLendon stated Saturday that the city would do all it could to try to have the parking re. placed by curb to cub roadway sur. facing, but said he did not find any law present by which the utility could be made to do the work.
 Commissioner W. E. Dickson reiter. ated his statement that he agreed tc the contract with the uptility in good faith, that he believed, a the city had gained materially in the transactions with the company, and that, while ht would be glad to see all-paving sub stituted for paving and parking, ht would take no step to force a change q contract.
