Willing to Saerifie All.

Posy was compelled to think Of some
thing else to give and she racked her
brains.
The children in the neighborhood
told her what grandmothers liked
gloves and automobiles and new slip
pers and bridge prizes-but they did
not realize that the plain kind Of
grandmother was different from the
Observation-Disclosures. Posy began to
understand that some great sacrifice
was needed. Eventually the way of
it became clear to her inner vision.
For long time 1t seemed to her
that she could not give up her most
cherished possession. She had had it
so short time and it was so shiny
and so altogether delightful. Never
theless, as the days passed and there
was no substitute found, there seemed
to be nothing to do but to yield up on
the altar of love that which the little
girl held the dearest among all her
treasures.
The day came for the great-grand.
mother to 60 home again and there
could be no postponing the evil hour
now. What had to be done must be
done-and done cheerfully for the love
one bore.
So 1t happened that great-grand.
mother found wee box in the tray
Of her small trunk and she questioned
Posy's mother.
What is this, Lucy" Posy's
great-grandmother asked. 1T Is not
mine"
Il gave 1t to you." Poey spoke up.
open it. It's nice"
So great-grandmother opened the
wee box.and lifted out to view-Posy's

has revived the doublet from pre-Eliz-

wrinkled affair. with row of closely
set buttons going down the front. II
the influence were confined to single
garment, there would be less cause
for protest, but it has spread and the
MISUNDERSTANDING lines have been in
corporated into some of the latest
neeligees and boudoir gowns. Fancy
robbing these garments OF all their
feminine curves and frivolities! Dress
is to beauty what harmony is to mel
ody; it ought to set it off to advan-
tage. to enhance its luster; never to
cover or disguise it. The straight up
and-down lines of a masculine doublet
are certainly not appropriate, as the
promoters of the fashion will doubt

Posys great.grandmother had come
visiting. To Posy it was the event OF
q lifetime. She devoted herself to the
entertainment of the little old lady
with all the earnest enthusiasm of her
own four years. No other little girl
in the block had great-grandmother,
though they were as we'll supplied as
Posy herself when it came to grand
mothers of the ordinary kind. So,
realizing the blessing that was hers
alone, Posy spent many minutes plan
ming pleasures for the visitor

bathing beach had no attraction for
great.grandmothers, when everybody
knew what delightful sand houses
could be built and what deep weeks
dug on the shore Of the lake. But

mind to work to think of other joys

thing pleasing.

II think she will be glad to know
you would give them." her mother told

be something she would enjoy more. "
Posy pondered the matter for q day

courage to the sticking place.

Of ways. Sometimes short ostrich
feathers surround the crown: soma
times feathers are twisted round

tilted over one temple and have an
avalanche of feathers falling over the
back are smart and original. Some
times uncurled feathers are mingled

Arranged as Fancy Dictates, Orna
ment 10 One Of the Distinctive
Parts Of Costume.

Following out the Indian note that
every now and then creeps into our
symphony Of fashion features comes
the beaded sash. The beads used are
usually OF bright-colored wood, ar
ranged in various and weird patterns.
Sometimes the wooden beads are made
to combine with silk thread and SO
form a fringe. while at other times
they are fastened into a symmetrical
design by . needle and silk thread.
These sashes sell for rather high
prices at the shops. but an examination
OF one or two of them will reveal to
you the secret whereby you can pro-
cure the beads at the bead counter in
the fancywork department and make
your own beaded sash. The average
beaded sash Is not more than from
three to five inches wide. but it is suf-
ficiently long to wrap about your waist
twice and fall In two hanging ends.

Henry B. Gray. former lieutenant gov ernor of Alabama, returned home yester- day after spending few days in Atlanta as the guest of Col w, T. Gentry. presi- dent of the Southern Bell company. Mir. Gray attended the Shriners' meeting and called upon other friends while there.
 "I was very much impressed with the way Atlanta entertained the Shriners. '' said MT. Gray "The crowds were un- usually large and the streets were lined every hour of the day. The people of that city. however, were equal to the oc- casion and handled the crowd very well.
 .'rhe election of Colonel Gentry to the presidency of the Capital City club found to be immensely pleasing to the members of that club with whom came in contact He is a charming gentleman and will make a great executive. He is extremely popular in Atlanta, and deservedly so Colonel Gentry is very much taken with Birmingham and is always speaking oi this city as one of the greatest in which his company operates. He will prove in the future to be greater friend to the city than ever before"

HUGH MORROW RESIGNS
 AS UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE

The Age -Herald's Tuscaloosa corre- Hugh Morrow has rendered his resig- nation as member of the board of trus- tees of the University of Alabama, thus making public a fact which intimate friends of Mir. Morrow have known for sometime.
 It has not been definitely concluded however that MT. Morrow will persist in his determination to leave the board. Dr. Denny. president of the university, has written him a most urgent letter in the hope that he might reconsider. There are already two vacancies on the board due to the deaths of Paul Legrande of the Second district. and pr. Hal Johnson of the Fourth. For each of these positions there are ap- plications. Maj. R. E. Steiner, pr. l.. L.
 Hill and T. J. Reynolds. all of Mont
 gomery, would succeed MT Legrande. Col Sam Will John and Henry R.
 Reese of Dallas and Kelly Dixon of Talladega would succeed Dr. Johnson. According to information. the indica- tions seem to point to the success of Major Steiner aHd Mir. Dixon.
 Several names were mentioned yes- terday as being worthy to succeed MT. Morrow. It is definitely known that his successor will be business man, and that his residence will be in Birming- ham. Robert Jemison and Hill Ferguson were discussed. MT. Morrow has been member of the board for many years. and he is consid- cred one of its most valuable assets. MT. Morrow states that his business prompted him to tender his resignation. He states that if he does sever his
