 This is not state home, but old women are there from over Alabama about a dozen who have come from among our best citizenship, who have led useful, splendid lives and are now on the retired list, waiting on time. Have you ever knocked on their door and carried them smile?
 They live in the past but they aro in touch with what is going on today. visit to them will not be gloomy for they have a very good time and are making the best of the situat ation. and they love to see their friends.
 How is this home maintained, is simplicity, its odds and ends of furni- ture. answer the question, for here are remnants from many homes. which have contributed to the comfort of the worn and weary.
 I asked one old lady what she had to eat, and she said "A plenty, well cooked and clean. It has taken good manag ement the skill of two splen- did women. Mrs. Frank S. White and Mrs. Charles G. Brown, who are our mothers, to tide us through these war times. but we are here and thankful for each blessing"
 A morning with them will do any, body good. They laugh and joke and tease each other like school girls, and one old lady said, Yes, and sometimes we bout and scrap What if they do? They should be given their way, and their pleasures, and we all should know them and visit the home, even their bedroom, and see the little signs of their undying love for thei- "things''-little articles they have treasured through many years. and with each one is some story of days when they could get out with the world and carry laughter and love to others

The Mans Woman

This competition among feminin- ity for better-and-better garb, for less-and-less money, has resulted in necessary specialization among merchants of women's wear.
 Designers usually specialize, too, and down-to-date merchandising naturally reflects this tendency.
 This demand for special service on the part of the buyer is more than met by Birmingham dealers in things which women wear. The merchant specializes in his mer- chandising and he advertises his wares, speciality by speciality.
 Where to buy" has, therefore, supplanted "what to buy" as buy ing slogan.
 This business of specialty-sorting is the daily programme in Birming- hams buying homes. Careful buy CTS know that time and money are saved when they

The saying ''beauty unadorned is adorned the most" is all very we'll in copy books, but in Birmingham today it wouldn't carry precinct.
 For the adornment of women, the things they wear and how they wear 'em, is one of the days most import ant businesses.
 The men don't mind. Way down deep in his heart the average man admires a we'll dressed woman. If the woman is his wife, or mother, or sister, he has a secret sense of re- flected glory, an added pride in the relationship.
 Should the lady be someone's else's sister and still be smartly dressed, the ensemble. often pro- vokes better acquaintance-modish things have such a way with them!
