 "The governors lady and Judy
 | O'Grady,
 Are sisters-when it comes to their
 skin"-
 AS l found out yesterday when l met Mrs Charles Henderson. thetlovely and charming wife of Alabama's popular governor, as she was having bit of powder applied to her straight, aristo- cratic little nose, her pretty blonde hair cciffed in the latest fashion, and the nails of her slender, delicate fingers , polished to a lustre that was brilliant in the extreme.
 All of which spells that Mrs Hendcr- son is-quite humankind does not dis approve of anything that tends to make a woman prettier, because she, like many other women. thinks it is a wom ans duty to add to her charms and
 make herself as attractive as she knows how.
 Mrs. Henderson. as the first lady of Alabama" occupies position that IS supreme in society. and she has graced 1 It with a sweetness and graciousness | that has added many friends to her al l l ready large list since Governor Hen l derson was inaugurated.
 ;, There Is no put on about Mrs. Hen
 derson; she doesn't arrogate unto her
 self any honors that are not hers; but
 she is just the elegant. well-bred and genuine woman from the crown of her l head to the tips of her boots that you'd expect a governors wife to be, and her views on all subjects are so whole

 for her.
 | With her usual tact and grace, how ever, she made the situation not only
 very interesting. but very delightful, l anu ldu6DiH6 Sdiu lldl everything put pleasure had been dispensed with on the automobile tour she and the gov

 Alabama's chief executive would have during the remainder of the summel. 1 You see, from the start our trip was
 full of surprises" Mrs. Henderson said "In the first place. we had intended to go into Florida, but instead at the last moment. the heat was so intense that we changed our route entirely end motored to Atlanta, expecting to go on to Asheville, but, alas! such stern
 necessities IS legislatures and law msk- ing assemblages will convene often at just the wrong time, and as the gcv- ernor had to get back to his duties, here we are en route to Montgomery" l Tn Atlanta we arrived in the thick of
 the fight about Governor Slaton, and you may be sure 1t was interesting situation p Mrs. Henderson continued. My sympa- thies were certainly very deep and sin cere for Governor Slaton and his lovely | wife-especially did feel sorry for Mrs. Slaton-she seemed to be utterly worn out and her nerves frayed to the very edges l over the situation. At dinner party
 which was given in our honor, Mrs. Sla- ton sat next to Governor Henderson ai.d
