Work That 7he City Librarian is Doing The Charlotte public library is in exciellent condition and doing excel lent work for the general readers of Charlotte and especially for the sUi- dents of the city. Not only has the library here an excellent collection of fiction but it is well equipped with reference books and works that are of great help to any student. The North Carolina col lection of books is especially good and would do credit to aay library in the state. Miss Palmer, the libra rian, Is working all the time to make this the best city libraray In the state and particularly along the lines of books pertaining to North Carolina and by North Carolina authors. The library now has a complete set of the Colonial Records of North Car olina, but not until the past week did it get an index of the records for the reason that such an index had not been completed until 1910. Since that date the appropriations to the library have been so small, until this year that the library did not feel able to purchase these books. Among the North Carolina histories In the Jihrary there are several that are ven^ rare and valuable. The old est of the historiee in the Charlotte library is one by Hugh WilU^son, published In 1812 in Philaoelphla. This history is in two volumes and is a very interesting document. There is another book of the same type in the library, though not so old it is every bit as interesting. It is “Sketches of North Carolina, His torical and Biographical,” by Rev. William Henry Foote, published in 1846. This book contains a historical sketch of North Carolina and bio graphical sketches of all her promi nent men up until the date of the publication. Among the magazine 'files is a com plete file of “The Land We Love,” a monthly magazine published in Charlotte by James P. Irwin and t). H. Hill. This magazine only lasted about three years, from May, 1866 to 1869, but the library here has almost a ccvmplete file. It is a most interest ing old magazine devoted to fiction and articles on the topics of that day. It is interesting to hear what the edi tors had to say on their conditions in regard to politics of forty years ago, the period of reconstruction in the South.. Miss iPalmer is very interested at present trying to find any copies ot old Charlotte directories. The library now. has them dating; as far back as the eighties but it is well known that there were directories of Charlotte published before that date. It seems that as yet no one has been found who has one or knows anything about a volume so old. Returned Mu^sionary - Will Deliver Addiess Mrs. J. P.

The Sunday school at the new site will be organized at' once although the school in the cbapel on Tenth and Davidson will be separately maintain ed until the new St. Martin’s, (the Wilke’s Memorial), can be built. The committee has begun at once an active canvass of the Piedmont and* Elizabeth neighborhood for the sum of $3,500, that amoiint being nec essary to pay for the new lot, move the Sunday school room and make necessary improvements in tiie way of walks, etc. This amout is all the committee has undertaken to raise for the value of the property now in hand for the purpose is enough to build the new chapel. The sale of the prsent lot on Tenth street with certain material which can be used from the old chapel and $1,500 which will come from the sale of a chapel lot on North Graham street, now the property of Mrs. John Wilke's, will total six or seven thou sand dollars.

Alexander, American Women Outclasses Parisians Wlgf—“I hate people who boltst of their vices.” Wagg—“So do I; almost as much aa those who parade their virtues.” New York, Nov. 4.—^“American wo men dress better and are more at tractive than the women of Paris.” This was the statement made today by Dr. Wilhelm Bode, curator of the Kaiser Frederich museum in Berlin and and a personal frienCTof Kaiser Wilhelm, who Is visiting the United States for the first time in eighteen years, and making comparisons. “Your women,” hec ontlnued, “in the struggle for style and richness of apparel have not forgotten natural graces and refinement. The women of Paris go to exti^emes in drtfss and Instead of achieving beauty the re sult is hideout. Here yon l^p more to moderation,,.the 'golden mean’ that must be a oottponentp art of all true beauty. **Amerlcan women have tall, beau tiful figures and lovely coloring. They do well not to spoil their advantages by absurd and ridiculous coloring.” Don't tell a woman you love her; tell her what your loving her makes you want to do for her. Derita. N. C.

City Aldermen, Long SuSermg The work on thes treets of Char lotte preparatory to laying the bitu- lithic is causing a great deal of com ment and oppositioBr, especially where the streets are to l^ 'v^desed or the sidewalk lowered at the cost of de stroying the trees along the cttrblng that it haB tiiken years to grow. The kick is now coming ? from the resi dents of West Tr^e street where work has already begupn. In some places the sidewalk has,to be lowered* to make It even with the street level and in other places the street has to be narrowed in order to keep it the same * width its entire length while In other places it has to be widened for-the same puitkm5s. This wHi add to ^ the symmetry of the streets but i^he citizens complin that they prefej* more i^adeuand na- taural beauty to artiteial syxmnetry.
