GONE-1he Heart OF the House and Garden
But They Never Really Die-THE SMO7HERS

IL
What stories she could tell? Cinderella" was
a great disappointment to me when I learned to read.
Why, there wasn't a thing in the printed story about
what Cinderella had for her wedding breakfast-or
when the prince kissed her and asked her to be his
wife.
And Aladdin, too. Not a syllable about the
chicken potpie and the hot biscuits and honey he
had, way over there In China when he was hungry,
and rubbed the magic lamp for breakfast.
And as for the Sleeping Beauty, we knew ex-
actly what she was doing when she fell asleep and
what color her eyes were and how she wore her hair
and Just exactly how many silver bells were hung
around the neck of the princes s~now-white charger
when he rode through the woods to the enchanting
palace.
What wonderfuilittle cakes she could make. with
sugar letters on them-and as for doughnuts-on a
winters afternoon, after a hard day in fractions
what a joy to turn the corner and see in the kitchen
window a little row of d%oughnut men and women
with currant eyes-just hot from the pan and wait
ing?
Never too tired, never too sad-and she must
have had sad moments, too-but she never let the
children know it-never too busy-for us.
Years and years ago it was-she went away.
Yet sometimes in that hour between daylight and
darkness, when the world lies heavy on the heart
and the storm and stress of it are almost cruelty dis
tracing to the mind-there is something like . subtle
fragrance in the room and almost-almost-I hear
Thereon of the old-fashioned song, and ease myself
upon the comfort of a loving heart to the hum of
Poor Nelly Gray"
And, so it will be with you, my friend.
In the hardest moment of your life she will be
there to comfort and sustain you=in the saddest
moment she will be there to cheer you-and in your
hour of pride and triumph-she will be there to re-
joice with you.
They never really die-the mothers of this world.
If they did none of US could go on living in the cold
and the dark and the bewilderment-alone

Years ago it was, years and years ago-and yet
yesterday, when / looked into the bewildered eyes
of my friend, it all came back to me as if it hap
pened yesterday. II
The bright June morning, with the naples all in
new leaf, the yellow primrose abud, the little grass
walk.
The SNOWFALL on one side of the gate, white with
its wealth of foaning blossom, the lilac on the other
side swinging the last purple censors of June.
Sweetpeas, all ALLOWING and a-growing; lark
spurs, mignonette and moss oses-ah, it was an old
fashioned garden, tended with old-fashioned love.
a rush of hurrying feet-and the news.
Gore. the maker of the garden-silent the dear
voice-quiett the busy hands, tilled the little, quick
feet. How we used to joke her about them?-those
little feet, toossma11 for her mature weight gone
the light of the day-gone the comfort of life-put
mysterious minute.
And the world was never quite the same again.
Never quite so warm and loving-never quite so
safe and sheltered-never quite so wise and gentle
wide, busy, careless, ~forgetful world. Never again
the same.
She had a genius for love-the one who did not
wait to say "goodby," but left us that morning in
June. long and long ago.
She had a genius for trust and for faith.
What if things didn't go quite right at school,
with the new teacher being sarcastic, and the big
girls in the back row making fun of the color of
your hair or the way the bow on your foolish shoes
were tied-these was always home at the end of the
day.. Home and the ruling spirit of it-waiting.
She always believed in you-no matter who else
doubted. She always knew what YOU meant. even
when you couldn't say it yourself-she liked the
color of your hair and thought you had a wonderful
knack at tying bows.
And in the hateful, self-conscious. awkward tin,e
that comes to every growing child-how marvelously
she understood - and how she did know, when 10
speak and when to keep silence.

 The house with woodwork, stairway and doorways festooned in masses of smilax and frightened with quan- titles of bright spring flowers. show ing amid the greenery and arranged in great gilded baskets presented a scene of unusual beauty and charm.

IRWIN COBB TO LECTURE
 ON HOME FOLKS"

Today the familiar by-line By Irwin Cobb' is seen in the metropolitan dailies all over the United States, and his stories appear regularly in such magazines as the Saturday Evening Post, American, Life and many others. One secret of course of Cobb's suc- cess is his ability to keep his fingers on the pulse of American life He is one of the best informed men of the day. He dabbles considerably in politics, as an innocent bystander, of course, but he sees situations which are entirely missed by many of the other leading writers of the day. At the national convention the past year MT. Cobb was very much in evidence and his humorous pictures of the process of making presidents were published from one end of the country to the other.
 The announcement of his appear ance here is creating considerable comment, and the newspaper boys promise to be on the front row when Cobb toddles out before his audience to discuss Home Folks"
 Irwin Cobb is brought to Birming- ham by Mrs. Frank Hopkinson Smiths unit of St. Marys church, and will lecture at the Jefferson on Thursday. April 14, at S:15 o'clock

HENDRIX COMEDY
 |SCOMPL PL|MENTED
University Student Playwright PIeases With Prize Winner,
 "Out of BugtussIe"

Tuscaloosa, April 12.--(Special.)--- Lancelot Hendrix of the University of Alabama, who was awarded the first prize in the playwriting contest which was announced some time ago by Pro- lessor Strode, on his one-act comedy drama Out of Bugtussle" has won much praisefat every reading. It is wholesome. sparkling comedy mixed with pathos and the play will be given here by the Blackfriars next perform ance and will probably be played in other cities in the state.
 The scene in MT. Hend-ixs play is laid in Walker county mining camp and has to do with young girl who has tired of the camp life and decides to go to Birmingham, but Is prevailed upon by members of her family to abandon the idea However, she is de-, termined and even the remonstrance of the holy roller" preacher has no ef- feet. The efforts to prevent her depar- ture afford some delightful comedy. Heretofore, Mir. Hendrix has not been member of the Biackfr.ar cast, but will play the part of the "holy roller" preached in this instance.
 Miss Florence Kennedys play, "Muf- fins, came second in tte opinion of the judges, and the "Ghos. Warden" by Miss Mary Gaines, was highly com mended.
 This contest has proven 50 success ful that it has been suggested that next year only productions by the university students be used for production throughout the state.
