 clever; he is considerate, and he never worries her about her public work.
 This. that Miss Pauline said about her father. l thought was very beau tiful
 Father was just as interested about the campaign as mother codld possibly have been. He was as proud of her as he could be. For he always likes for her to do what he knows she is capable of doing, and would never stand in her way on any score.
 "Mother is really very wonderful, Miss Hall. She can do thousands Of things. She is just as good house. wife as she is public affairs wom- an. And the secret of her success, think. is that she does not mix the two. At home she is mother ana housekeeper and everything to us' when we do not have a servant. or when grandmother doesn't take charge, and she lays aside her Husi- ness worries and does not fret us with them.'
 can say truthfully that in all my association with political sympa- thizers of all description, I have yet the first person to run across who does not like Mrs. Echols-the new commissioner For years she has been one of the city's favorite women. She has belonged to very many wom- ems clubs and organizations, and has always gone to the top. However she has never neglected her home for this work-and, strange as 1t may seem, she has reached her present high office of trust the city mas granted her after only about twelve years of work. She takes up city commission affairs after having 3een member of the board or eoucatioh for seven years.
 ;, It was so sweetiy human-what Mrs. Echols said after 1t was made sure to her that she had been elec-ed commissioner She turned to her daughter, Miss Pauline Echols, ana said, sort of wonderingly'
 ' Well. honey"
 "Mother. are you sure you have it?" Miss Pauline queried eagerly
 That's what the returns say, dear. Isn't it fine?"
 And thousands of her admirers ex- pect her work to count--and count big.--in the administration of affairs the next four years, because she is a good woman, and a cool headed ne, and. a woman who can make plaas ana CaTTy. tHtDl Odt. <AAAhOSts Of oAS body is glad there Is one woman on the commission to give to 1t the woman's viewpoint. That viewpoint Mrs. Echols knows. because. she is a woman, and then because she nas associated and dealt with women so. long.
 In telling the story of their family history Miss Pauline said:
 There were four generations of us who were born In Jefferson coun- ty and my great great-grandfathe Is buried at Crumley's chapel. t "A very unusual thing. think, is this: Mother and father have been married 25 years-will be November 12-and five days after mother takes office they will celebrate their sill yer anniversary. There were 10 members of mothers and fathers bri- dal party. and all of them are alive including the minister who per formed the ceremony.
 That ceremony was solemnized at the Pratt City Methodist church.'
 Mr. Echols has been in the under taking business for 23 years, He started in it'w when Ensley itself start ed. and has always had the same partner. John Angwin-the business being named Echols & Angwin. It Keeps Mir. Echols extremely busy.
 He weighs 22s pounds; ifs great big fat man Miss Pauline described him to me. but when I saw him I was agreeably surprised to see that he didn't seem to have an ounce of superfluous flesh.
 "All the same" said little Miss Pauline. If he ever sat down on any body that person would die. He'd never have to fight an opponent. The man wouldn't have chance"
 Mr. Echols was a former Greens boro man, but. said little Miss Ech- els. her grandfather, her great grandfathAr, her father and herself
