Mrs. Peel UI’QCS
Civic Adva
In Atfanta
The address made by Mrs. Willlam
Lawson Peel in the Hotel Ansley ball
room Friday evening was an earnest
plea for a bettér Atlanta. Her com
parisons of other big towns shé has
recently visited lin the West to At
lanta were witty, clever and made
with an understanding mind. Mrs.
Peel sald Atlanta has larger bank
clearings than has Denver, Bt. Paul,
Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City or
Ban Diego, and yet has not the same
clean, well-ordered city to show for
its resources. She cited the beautiful
streets of other towns; the parks, cov
ering thousands of acres; the bathing
lakes; the rose hedges blooming along
the streets of Portland; the fact that
the Rose City has no alleys, and many
other things that Atlanta could and
should profit by.
Mrs. Peel visited every place of in
terest between Atlanta and Southern
Californla, and with keen perception
took in all that was of vital import to
nlrrolroulve town. Her address was |
filled with statistics of all sorts, patri
otic to her home town, for which her
plea was made for a better, cleaner.l
more beautiful Atlanta,
Education in Other Cities.
The educational work of other cities, |
the municipal and political life, the
civic beauty were all touched upon. |
Nor was the soclal life forgotten In
the many interesting things she had |
to say,
“At Denver,” sald Mrs. Peel, “there
are free moving pictures of the re- |
sources of Colorado, and free lectures
g::vlded for the tourist by the Cham.
of Commerce. In Seattle there is |
& municipal bathing beach, 209 free |
tennis courts, and wading ponds ‘or |
children. San Diego has just voted an |
SBOO,OOO bond issue for parks, Los|
Angeles has given a tract of 400 acres
to the Universal Fi{lm Company, and
there one finds everything necessary
for stage production in the open alr, |
for it will not rain until November, I
“Despite the fact that San Fran
c¢isco has been bullt since the great
fire and has been carrying the expo
sition, the city is bullding a civic cen
ter at the cost of $8,000,000, two of
the buildings being already completed,
This civic center will include an au
ditorium costing $560,000, which has
been ?nunted by the exposition, and
the City Hall, which Is almost a »e
--rroducuaa of our State Capitol, The
wo other bulldings will bhe the libra
ry and the art institute.”
Her Suggestion to Atlanta.
Mrs. Peel concluded her talk with
the following timely suggestion to the
Wfi" of Atlanta:
“Now, I am perfectly sure that there
§s not & man, woman or child in town
who does not love Atlanta and desire
her growth and prosperity above all
things. The onlg thing {B, ‘ve don't
all agree upon the way this is to be
accomplished. The eyes of all the
world are upon Atlanta. This is a call
to the colors. Let's have a bond issue
of $5,000,000, to be md annually until
we get fixed up. t's c{ll tdgether
our successful captains o industry —
men who have given the very best that
18 In them for Atlanta and are willing
to do It again—and plan for a great
city, a city with Broad street extend
ed to its southern limits, with Ala
bama extended to Stone Mountain,
and Bpring street extended at both
ends; a city bounded on the east hy
the éhaltlhoochee. with barges laden
with commerce for the southern
lands; Stone Mountain on the west,
to which sightseeing cars shall carry
tourists to one of the wonders of the
world: Sliver Lake on the north, with
its great university, and beautiful
Lakewood on the south, with its great
exposition.”

A Series of Universal Interest
Why We Quarreled--
The Man’'s Side
No. 6—The Husband Who Antagonized His Wife by
Attention to His Own Mother :
Tells His Story.
(Copyright, 1915, Star Company.)
NE of my fond dreams has been
O that my wife and my mother
and sisters should love one an
other. It has never been realized. On
the contrary, my mother and my sis
ters have been the cause of heart
breaking troubles between my wife
and myrelf,
Untll after our marriage Helen
showed no signs of a jealous disposi
tion. Even now she is not jealous of
any women except those that are in
my own family. She and they simply
can not understand one another.
The first quarrel my wife and I
ever had was when she wanted to
glve a little musicale in our home and
did not name my sisters among the
young peeple she was inviting.
“You have forgotten Mary and
Anna,” I reminded her. ;
. “No,” she said, “I have not forgot
‘ten them. But we can not have them
‘at every affalr we give.”
“Why not?” I asked. “We have
had them at everything so far.”
“Yes,” Helen acknowledged. “I
know we have, and we can not keep
that up always. The longer we de
fer entertaining without their as
slstance and presence, the harder it
will be to begin. We would have it
to do so sooner or later, anyway.”
“But they are always helpful” 1
argued. “You have often said how
nice they are about advising you.”
“l have not said they were ‘nice’
about advising me,” she corrected. “I
have sald they often advise me.”
“Well,” 1 suggasted after a mo
ment's thought, “suppose we do as
you propose and leave the girls out
of thls affair and ask mother and fa
ther Instead.”
“That would never do,” she ex
plained, “for this is a young people's
musicale. There are to be no elderly !
persons present.”
1 felt very uncomfortable about the
matter and could only hope that my
family would not hear of the func
tion,
The Mother Objects,
But a few days later when I
stopped In, as was my frequent cus
tom, to see my mother on my way
home Trom business, she asked me
bluntly how it happened that we had
glven a young people’s party and left
my sisters out.
“They were surprised ‘and hurt,”
she remarked.
I had felt all along that Helen was
making a mistake, yet now I found
myself championing her cause and
speaking from her viewpoint,
“Why, mother,” 1 sald, “you see, we
know a good many people, and I do
not think that the girls ought to ex
pect to be Invited to every entertalin
ment we give.™
“Why not?" she asked, just as I had
done in my dispute with my wife,
“Well,” I replied, lamely, “Helen is
a young housekeeper, and naturally
she likes to run her own house unas
sisted—at least, she likes to show that
Parrots as Psychologists
They Are the Character Students of the Bird Kingdom.
ARROTS are the greatest char-
P acter students in the bird and
animal kingdom, according to
experts who have closely studied their
capabllities. A parrot, it is sald, has
as large a brain as a man's in propor
tion to his size, and he uses it well.
Despite his actions and appearances
to the contrary, the parrot is exceed-
Ingly sensitive. It {g this trait which
has given rise to his bad reputation
for the three s's—sullenness, stupid
ity and stubbornness.
Someone orders a parrot to do
something. The parrot looks at him
and thinks it over. It is characteris
tie of the wise person that he thinks
before he speaks. It is characteristic
also of the wisest of birds, the par
rot.
The parrot reads a man or woman
by voice. That accounts for the fan
cies taken by parrots to certain hu
man beings. They read unerringly
character as revealed by the volce.
Next to the volce, they are sensitive
to colors. They also have a great ear
for musie.
In one case a parrot, appropriately
named Caruso, was trained to sing in
three keys, high sopranb, contralto
and baritone. Hlis trainer says that
he developed Caruso from what was
regarded as a squawky parrot. There
is, however, no need for anyone to
have a squawky parrot. When the
bird squawks it is the fault of the
owner, who should be careful that the
Lird hears no harsh gounds.
Another musical parrot could en
tertain any audience for a couple of
hours by playing on a tiny grand pla
po specially bullt for it. This bird
she can do so. Ana if she has some of
my people on hand all the time it
looks a bit as if she depended upon
them for help and advice, doesn’t it?”
“I see,” my mother sald, slowly.
“Then Helen resents our desire ‘o
help her., The ®irls and I will try to
be more careful in the future. We
meant only to be kind.”
That was the beginning of trouble.
I knew that my people had, as my
mother sald, meant te be good to my
wife, yet I could not make lelen see
this. Little by little the gulf between
them grew wider, I protested with
both sides. I appealed affectionately
to my sisters, but they said, loftily,
that they preferred not to argue about
the matter; that, of course, I would
take Helen's side.
Then one day I decldeq to talk no
more of a painful subject and not
mention Helen to my family, nor my
family to Helen. I saw that for a
while my wife was rélieved by this
arrangement. And I became uncom
fortably aware that my mother and
sisters had bored her; that she had
social aspirations above theirs; that—
as she would have put it—she wanted
to Hve her own life. I also became
convinced that she thought 1, too, was
drifting away from my own people.
Wife Objects.
I could not stand this, and I forced
myself to say casually to Helen one
evening that I had stopped In to see
‘mother, as usual, on my way home
from the office.
“As usual!” Helen echoed. “You go
there just as often as you once did?"
“Certainly,” 1 replied, with dignity.
“I go to see my mother at least twice
a week, as I have always done and
always shall do.”
“In spite of the fact that she snubs
and dislkes your wife? Helen asked.
\ “It 18 not her fault that there is a
‘breach between you and her,” I saiq.
“It 18 not of her making.”
“Oh!" she exclaimed. “How can
you say such a thing! Just because I
showed ‘that I had a mind of my own,
and would not be directed and ruled
by your mother and sisters, they have
let me severely alone. And all this
time, when I thought you were on my
side, you have been going to see them.
You, my husband, love them s 0 much
better than you love me that you
stand for that kind of thing!"”
“Helen!" I chided, “I love nobody
better than you!"”
“Then stop going to see your peo
ple!” she demanded.
I sald nothing, but went out of the
Toom and left her alone with jer
wrath.
Since then I have never again told
her when I have been to see my motn
er or sisters. I know that she knows,
and she knows that I know she knows,
Yet the matter is never mentionad
by either of us. It stands between us
like a stone wall—a wall that can
never be removed because it is bullt
of a man’s loyalty to his own and of a
wife's jealousy of that loyalty, 1
could play many popular airs on de
mand, and had been trained also to
glve an excellent imitation of ani
mals,
As an Indication of the linguistic
abllities of a parrot, it might be men
tioned that in another case a parrot
was taught to speak 500 dlstinct sen
tences.

About the Banana.
The value of the yield per acre of
bananas in the Celba district, Hon
duras, is less than that of wheat, but,
unlike wheat, the banana can not be
#tored. It must be marketed when it
is ready for marketing, and as the
demand In the United States fluctu-
Ates with the extent of the American
frult crop, or the severity of the win.
ter, many bananas must go to waste,
The banana planter does not go into
his fields and pluck his bananas as
he thinks they have properly ma
tured, but recelves telegraphic orders
from the rallway or steamship com
pany to cut bananas on a certain day
not more than 36 hours In advance of
the scheduled departure of the ship.
Cars are placed on his fldo-tnck,l
usually directly in the plantation.
The planter goes over his flelds and !
cuts all fruit ready for shipping, nei
ther too ripe nor too green; has it
hauled to the walting cars on mule
back or ox-carts and inspected. At
the close of the day the waiting cars
are picked up by the banana trains
and hauled to the coast. A day is re
quired to load the ship, and three
days later the vessel is in New Or

‘ AIT a minute, Peter. I
W have something to tell
you and Connie—the col
lection of frumps in vour office won't
Tun away. I'm engaged—l'm going
to marry Jim Farley.”
I had been waiting a week for Bet
ty to tell us that; waiting since the
night when Jim had asked me if he
should speak to Betty. It seemed to |
me that he gusssed how much 1 was
beginning to rely on his devoted‘
friendship. I was even frightened
lest he imagine that I misinterpreted
the quality of Lis liking for me, and
80 I had told him “4t would be splen
did if Betty cared as he did.”
Long afterward T was to remember
the hurt look in his eyes at my light.
ness. Long afterward I was to know
that Betty was Jim's refuge from his
Love, to call it by its true name, for
his chum's wife,
“Great! That's the best thing I've
ever heard, little Betty. I don’t blame
Ji ma bit; he's pretty clever and now
he's landed a wonderful girl for a
wife,” cried Peter heartily, and
dashed around the table to kiss my
sister. “Isn’t this the best ever, Con
nie?”
“It's splendid,” said I, but there
seemed a curious flatness in my gpne.
Later Peter reproached me fo'my
Indifference to my sister’s happiness,
and with a guilty feeling that per
haps I had been too absorbed in my
thoughts to show the proper enthu
siasm, I volunteered that very even
ing to help Betty with her trousseau.
“Marion's going with me to all the
shops where she buys—but I'd love to
have you come along, Connie, and get
to know Maldie better,” replied Betty.
But it was a week before my sister
suggested a desire to have me assist
in the selection of her trousseau.
A Slp of Tea.
We shopped all one long afternoon,
and at § Marion suggested having
tea at a place of which she knew.
“Tea” sounds linnocent enough and
#0 I accompanied my sister and her
sister-in-law-to-be with a cheery
feeling that we would surely get ac
quainted over the tea cups. The place
to which Marion guided us was re
vealed as a flower-hung room with
shaded lights and the dimness of
some falry cave.
Soft music was playing and littlg
tables all about were filled with
bright-eyed people who looked to me
far more cheerful than the semigloom
of the place seemed to warrant. We
were ushered to a table and Marion
promptly asked me what I would
have, laughing a little at my “Tea, of
course.”
Suddenly the syncopated strains
of a fox-trot sounded, and tha people
who had been listening with rather
blase indifference to the selection
from Grieg that had preceded it, be
gan leaping to their feet and seeking
partners.
Two men from a nearby tabie
strolled over to us and promptly Ma
rion and Betty were dipping and
whirling about the floor. And then,
with disconcerting suddenness two
things for which I was totally un
prepared occurred.
A Volunteer Dancer.
A man from a nearbdy table leaned
forward, and, looking Into my eyes IQ!
earnestly that I thought for a second
I must know him, murmured, “Shall
we dance? And the walter set down
at our table my own pot of tea and
two tall highball glasses, with the ac.
companiment of tiny whisky flagons |
and a bottle of seltzer, I
I was s 0 busy assuming an alr of
stately disdain with which to shame
my would-be eavaller that I hardly
saw the waiter bring to my pblo the
e glanced at me quizzically.
drinks wkich it never occurred to me
my sister and Marion could have or
dered, Suddenly, however, I became
aware of them and decided to protest
against the stupid blunder I thought
the waiter had made.
I hardly liked to sit facing a bold
man who had asked me to dance
while his amused smile rested on
the very unsophisticated drinks with
which my table was decorated. So
I sent hastily for the walter and
Informed him that he had made a
mistake In the drinks he had
brought.
“Oh, no, madam,” sald he, “this is
what the ladies always take.”
From the moment of hearing that
“always take” to the time when the
insolent man who had supposed he
could speak to me without an intro
duction came over and greeted Marion
Farley with the assured alr of old
friendship I endured a nightmare of
puzzlement and disgust.
With what I théught brazen ef
frontery the man sal dto Marion,
“Introduce me to your little friend,”
and I found myself looking up Into
amused blue eyes behind gold-rimmed
spectacles while Marlon pronounced
the formula, “Mrs. Drayton—Judge
Snow.”
My Disgust Shown.
And now to ada to my disgust
came a little leap of my Imagination:
“If this is the way a middleaged
judge behaves himself—how does my
wonderful young Peter act when 1
am not there to see?”
¢And in a fever of tormenting jeal
ousy I sat silently by while Maidle
and Betty drank their second highball
and coquetted wildly with the judge
and other middleaged charmers who
came to our table for partners. I sat
stiffly by, disclaiming all knowledge
of dancing, and showing, I suppose,
verye little knowledge of courtesy or
£ood manners either,
At the dinner table Betty told the
story to Peter. She carefully omit
ted all mention of the highballs, and
Insisted that Judge Snow was an old
friend of Jim’s and that she felt that
it was all right to be there with Jim's
sister. In the archness with which
she told the story and her sweet de
ference to Peter's opinion, added to
assurances that she would never go
again if he didn't approve, I found
added cause for discomfort. And later
on Peter's tone did not surprise me.
“What a little Puritan you are,
Connle. You might have been clvil
to the judge, since he's a friend of
Jim's,
“But, Peter, the judge spoke to me
without introduction. ‘He leaned
over and asked me to dance while
the girls were off with other men.”
Peter Is Amused.
“The impudent old jackanapes!”
gasped Peter, and then leaned back
and laughed the wonderful tender
laugh I had not heard for so long.
“So my Connle's a bit of a flirt, too.
Well, I'm mighty glad you took the
old codger down a peg or two.” |
But In my heart was the bitter
knowledge that I was attractive to
my husband—doubly attractive to the
father of my little boy—because a |
