Mrs. Peel Urges
(' | Ad
in Atfanta
The address made by Mrs. Willlam
Lawson Peel in the Hotel Ansley ball
room Friday ovmlnf was an earnast
plea for a better Atlanta. Her @m
parisons of other big towns she has
recently visited In the West to At
lanta were witty, clever and made
with an understanding mind. Mre.
Peel sald Atlanta has larger bank
¢learings than has Denver, Bt, Paul,
Seattle, Portland, Balt Lake City or
San Diego, and yet has not the same
clean, well-ordered city to show for
its resources. She cited the beautiful
#treets 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
California, and with keen perception
took in all that was of vital import to
& progressive town., Her address was
filled with statistics of all sorts, patri
otic to her home town, for which her
pléea was made for a better, cleaner, |
more beautiful Atlanta.
Education in Other Cities.
The ecucational work of other clties,
the municlpal and political life, the
¢lvic beauty were all touched upon, |
Nar was the soclal life forgotten in |
the many interesting things she had |
1o may, g
“At Denver,” sald Mrs. Peel, “thflrn'
are free moving pictures of the re
sources of Colorado, and free lectures
z::vldod for the tourist by the Cham. 1
of Commerce. In Seattle there is |
& municipal bathing beach, 2909 froe |
tennis courts, and wading ponds for |
lglldren. San Diego has just voted an |
SBOO,OOO bond issue for parks. Los|
Angeles has given a tract of 400 acres |
to the Universal Film Company, and |
there one finds everything necessary |
for stage production in the open I|F,|
for it will not rain until November,
“Despite the fact that San Fran-l
Cisco has been bullt since the great
fire and has been carrying the expu-|
sition, the city is bullding a civie cen- {
ter at the cost of $8,000,000, two of
gl.o.bundlnn being already completed,
s civic center will Include an au
ditorium costing $50,000, which has
been presented by the exposition, and
the City Hall, which 18 almost a 'r-‘
roducuon of our State Capitol, The
wo other bulldings will be the libra
ry and the art Institute,”
Her Suggestion to Atlanta.
Mrs. Peel concluded her talk with
the following timely suggestion to the
uggh of Atlanta:
Now, I am perfectly sure that there
#8 not & man, woman or child in town
who does not love Atlanta and desire
her growth and prosperity above all
things. The unl{ thing 18, ‘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
3 the colors. Let's have a bond issue
$5,000,000, to be m‘ annually until
we got fixed up. 's call together
our successful captains of industry —
Mmen 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 Spring street extended at both
ends: a city bounded on the east by
the éh.tt-hooohu, with barges laden
with commerce for the southern
lands: Btone Mountaln on the west,
to which sightseeing cars shall carry
tourists to one of the wonders of the
world; Sllver Lake on the north, with
w university, and beautiful
wood 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 reallzed, On
the contrary, my mother and my sis
ters have been the cause of heart
breaking troubles between my wife
and myself,
Until after our marrlage Helen
showed no gigns of a jealous disposi
tion. KEven 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
eéver had was when she wanted to
give a little musicale in our home and
did not name my sisters among the
young peoplé she was inviting.
“You have forgotten Mary and
Anna,” I reminded her,
“No,” she said, “I have not forgot
tén them. But we can not have them
at every affair we give.”
“Why net?” 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 thelr as
sistance and presence, the harder lt‘
will be to begin. We would have it
to do so sooner or later, anyway.” {
“But they are always helpful,” I
argued. “You have often said how‘
nice they are about advising you.”
“I have not sald they were ‘nice’
about advising me,” she corrected. “1
have said they often advise me.”
“Well,” I suggisted after a mo
ment's thought, “suppose we do as
you propose and leave thée girls out
of this 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 oldtfly‘
persons present.” |
1 felt very uncomfortable about the
matter and could only hope that my
family would not hear of the funme
tion. \
The Mother Objects,
But a few days later when 1
stopped in, as was my frequent cus
tom, to seeé my mother on my way
home from 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 toundl
myself championing her cause and
speaking from her viewpoiat. 1
“Why, mother,” I said, “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 entertain
ment we give.™ l
“Why not?” she asked, just as I Kad
done in my dispute with my wife, 1
“Well,” I replied, lamely, “Helen is |
a young housekeeper, and naturally
she likes to run her own house unu-‘
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 gtudents in the bird and
animal kingdom, according to
experts who have closely studied their
hc‘ubnmn. A parrot, it s sald, has
’u large a brain as a man’s in propor
‘uon to his size, and he uses it well,
~ Despite his actions and appearances
to the contrary, the parrot Is exceed-
Ingly sensitive. It ig this trait which
has given rise to his bad reputation
for the threa &'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
tic 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
cles taken by parrots to certain hu
man beings. They read unerringly
character as revealsd by the volce
Next to the volce, they are sensitive
to colars, They also have a great ear
for musie.
In one case A& parrot, ap, ropriately
named Caruso, was trained to sing In
three keys, high soprano, oontralto
and baritone. His trainer says that
he developed Caruso from what was
regarded as a squawky parrot. There
is, however, no need for anyone h‘
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 wn a tiny grand pla
po specially bullt for it. This bird
she can do so. And if ghe has some of
my people on hand all the time it
looks a bit as it she depended upon
them for help and advice, doesn’t it~
“I see,” my mother sald, slowly.
“Then Helen Tesents our desire <o
help her, The girls and 1 wil] 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 to be good to my
wife, yet I could not make Helen sce
this. Ldttle by lttle 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 dectded to talk no
more of a painful Subject and not
imentlon Helen to my family, nor my
family to Helen. I saw that for a
while my wite was relieved by this
arrangement. And 1 beécame 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 live her own life. 1 also bßecame
convinced that she thought I, too, was
drifting away from my own people,
Wife Objects.
I coul mot stand this, and 1 fo'rcod‘
myself to say casually to Helen ome
évening that I had 2toppéd in to see
Mmother, as uswal, on my way home
from the office.
“As usual!” Helen echoed. “You go
there fust as often as You once aid?”
“Certainly,” 1 replied, with dignity.
‘T go to see my mother at least twlice
& week, as I have always done and
always shall do.”
“In spite of the fact that she shubs
and disHkes your wife? Helen asked.
“It 18 not her fault that there is a
breach between you and her,” I salq.
“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 thia
time, when I thought you were on my
side, you have been &oing to see them,
You, my husband, love them so much
better than you love me that you
stand for that kind of thing!"
“Helen!"” I chided, “1 love nobody
better than you!”
“Then stop £oing to see your peo
ple!” she demanded.
I sald nothing, but went out of the
room and left her alone with ner
wrath.
Since then I have never again told
her when I have been to see my moti
er or glstérs. 1 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,
could play many popular airs on de
mand, and had been tralned also
give an excellent imitation of ani
mals.
As an Infloation of the lnguistic
abilities of a parrot, it might be men
tioned that In another case a parrot
was taught to speak 500 distinet sen
tences.

“W AIT a minute, Peter, 1
have something to tell
you and Connie—the col
lection: of frumps in yvour office won't
Tun awday. I'm engaged—l'm going
to marry Jim Farley.”
I had been waliting 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 I 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 “it would be splen
aid if Betty cared as he aid.”
Long afterward T was to remember
the hurt look in hiss 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,” sald I, but there
seemed a curious flatness in my tone.
Later Peter reproached me for my
indifference to my sister's happiness,
and with a gullty feeling that per
haps 1 had been too absorbed in my
thoughts to show the proper enthu
siasm, 1 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 kmow Maidie better,” replled Betty.
But it was a week before my sister
suggested a desire to have me assist
in the selection of her trousseau.
A Sip of Tea.
We shopped all ome long afternocon,
and at § Marion suggested having
tea at a place of which she knew.
“Tea” sounds infiocent enough and
#0 I accompanied my sister and her
sister-in-law-to-be with & cheery
feeling that we would surely get ac
quainted over the tea cups. The place
to which Marifon guided us was re
vealed as a flower-hung room with
shaded lights and the dimness of
some fairy cave.
Soft music was playing and llttlq
tables all about were fllled 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
’prompt!y asked me what I would
have, laughing a little at my “Tea, of
course.” |
1 Suddenly the syncopated strains
of & fox-trot sounded, and the people
who had been listening with rather
blase {ndifference to the nlec(lon‘
from Grieg that had preceded ft, bo-|
gan leaping to their feet and seeking
partners. 1
Two men from a nearby table
#rolled over to us and promptly Ma
rion and Betty were dipping and
whirling about the floor. And then,
with diseoncerting suddenness two
things for which I was totally un
prepared occurred.
A Volunteer Dancer,
A man from a nearby table leaned
forward, and, looking into my eyes 80
earnestly that I thought for a second
I must know him, murmured, “Shali
we dance?” And the walter set down
At our table my own pot of tea and
two tali highball glasses, with the ac
companiment of tiny whisky flnconl'
and a bottle of seltzer. l

stately disdain with which to shame

drinks which it never occurred to me
My sister and Marion could have or
dered. Suddenly, however, I became
aware of them and deéided 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 waiter and
informed him that he had made a
mistake In the drinks he had
brought.
“Oh, no, mudam,” gaid 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 air of old
friendship I endured a nightmare of
puzzlement and disgust. g
With what I thought brazen ef
frontery the man sal dte Marion,
“Introduce me to your little friend,”
and I found myself looking up Into
amused blue eyes behind gold-rimmed
‘spectaclés while Marfon pronounced
“hc formula, “Mrs. Drayton—Judge
Snow.”
My Disgust Shown.
And now to ada to my disgust
came a little leap of my Imagination:
“If this s the way a middleaged
Judge behaves himself—how does my
wonderful young Peter aet when I
am not there to see?”
And in a fever of tormenting jeal
ousy I sat silently by while Maldle
and Betty drank their second highball
and coquetted wildly with the Judge
and other middleaged charmers who
‘came to our table for partnérs. I sat
stiffly by, disclaiming an knowledge
of dancing, and showing, 1 suppose,
very little knowledge of courtesy or
'£ood manners either,
} At the dinner table Betty told the
sfory to Peter. She carefully omit-
Med 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
Slster. 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 g 0
Again if he didn't approve, I found
added cause for dlscomfort. And later
on Peter's tone did not surprise me,
“What a little Puritan you are,
Connie. You might have been eivil
to the judge, since he's a friena 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 tesder
laugh I had not heard for so long.
“So my Connle’s a bit of a fiirt, 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

Suddenly a terrifying thought cams
to me. Peter always made it very

she had responded, ignoring the pain
I could not hide. Supposs I were to
