"Citv Beautiful' AT the Press Club

One hundred ladies played five hum
dred and bridge at the Newspaper club
yesterday afternoon. The cafe was
cheerful scene; it represented the good
spirit of the women living adjacent to
Phelans park. They needed some money
to continue their playground Improvement,
SO they logically mixed fun and business
and made a successful playhouse of the
press club for the occasion. small
sun was paic for the entertainment
enough to put few more benches In the
park. out a bountiful amount of good
fellowship was expressed in their infor-
NAL gathering. Strange such things do
not happen more frequently, when people
can get together sensibly, spending but
little money and investing time so well.
What so enhances the value of neigh
borhood as good neighbors, the real CO.
operation this afternoon spoke volumes for
the Phelan's park city beautiful commit
tee.
Mrs. NJ 6. Blank, Mrs. James Monroe
Mrs Scuddei Ryall and Miss Edna Wald
were the enter tainment committee, but the
whole programme clearly indicated that
they each had an interest in the outcome
of it all.
Somehow or other, the press club has
wonderful knack of having people feel
at home; there is a something in the
greeting, something in the hand shake
that speaks 81 am glad to see you,' and
| it is contagious; you catch the symptoms
as you enter and naturally get on to the
job of being agreeable yourself. even If
you come in with a tiny chip on your
shoulder.
| Mrs. Charles P. Ball is there as hostess;
she needs no introduction to a single
woman in Birmingham. and scarcely to
one in the state. A few days ago we
called the attention of an out-of-town
guest to her office, and he said: That's
the best part of 1t all; everybody likes
Mrs. Ball. and she makes us all glad we
! are here" It's nice to have a lady like
Mrs. Ball loking after ones pleasure, and
she is so capable of giving a big share
| of it herself"
The press club is jolly good home; it
suits everybody and looks down on every
body, too; yet it does 1t so beautifully.
There is nothing that makes you so ap-
preciate the world you live in as to get
out on its viewpoint and look down on
the wildly moving public in their career
for business or for play then glance over
/ the house tops and see the covering of
myriads of homes, then over the noun
tain and see the glorious sky leaning over
modern city that has spread so rap
idly over what was few years ago only
a barren territory This gives real bird S
eye view of the district, and makes the
club worth while to visitors leaving out
all the other good things

Why Not Go Lobby Before the Honorable Legislature
AT Montgomery # You Want Really Useful Hobby

excitement of having a real end in view
| to work for.
| Let her begin to lobby this very minute;
| lobby for the child labor situation; lobby
for compulsory education: lobby for the
| illiteracy campaign, lobby for woman SUI
frage lobby for the various state institu-
tons for women, providing better condi-
tons for them and their futures lobby for
prison reform, lobby for a dozen and one
things that are vital and necessary for
the upbuilding of the state and its people,
its responsibilities for the peace and
safety, the well being and health of It's
citizens
Some may object to the suggestion CT
women lobbying" its too strenuous.
NOW, Ii this kind will just peep into
! the dictionary. they will find that lobby
ing does not imply the use or corrupt
| measures, as some may think.
1t is merely a. highly creditable use of
ones powers, and influence, to bring
about legislation or other results desired
To lobby" for a bill means, therefore,
to aid in its passage or defect, with ones
personal influence.
1t may even be written to ones senator
or delegate at Montgomery, or it may be
talking directly to members of the leg
| slature or in merely arousng other
| fathers and mothers to the necessity of
the passage of such law. for public opin-
! ion counts with public officials always
more or less.
It seems hardly possible to suggest a
work more acceptable for the woman who
would have hobby than bringing
about good legislation by her influence;
maybe not during this session of the leg
| islature, nor the next.
| If every woman was behind any pro-
posed bill there could hardly be any doubt
of it's passage.
And should there be those who object to
the word FAD" in connection with lob
i bying'' at Montgomery, let it be said just
| here that 'faddists'' always bring much
enthusiasm to whatever they undertake:
that their interest is sure to last, at least
| as long as the legislature is in session,
and that any woman who goes into this
| kind of work merely as a hobby" of the
moment, is almost sure to become an en-
thusiastic worker in dead earnest" be-
| fore long.
| Besides. as clever wag said the other
| day
1.-THE women ought to go down to Mont
gomery and straighten out some of those
| fool legislators who don't know from
bulls foot, if they are to be judged by
some of the absurd bills they've been try
ing to pass?"
