eyes, they can be made regular
little meccas of joy where ham
mocks are swung, where sewing
is pleasant, and where you can sit
in negligee and happiness.
The foreigners have it far past
Americans when it thus comes to
really enjoying their homes. They
build their houses close upon the
sidewalk, and then utilize the
whole back yard for play ground.
They erect, first of all, high brick
fences around these rear areas,
and then, inside, make them veri-
table Gardens of Allah.
They take out couches, swing up
hammocks, plant millions of flow
ers, arrange spots for card tables,
and shelter part of the yard to
be used when it rains.
Even the poor thus enjoy their
back yards. Here, we're more than
likely to set houses too far back
on our lots, leaving a wide lawn
which never does anybody any real
good, and which is merely pretty
to look upon.

Women MuStlerS when
They're i'm Charge

Mrs. Graham Putnam was chair
man for the Edgewood home, while
Mrs. Erie Pettus was the hard
worker who has literally shaved to
put the Norwood house on record.
Mrs. Pettus admitted at the U.
D. c. bridge party Wednesday that
she was thoroughly in need of the
rest cure, after she had arisen
about 8 o'clock every morning
since goodness knows when, spent
her time interviewing merchants,
dray men, club members, and real
estate owners. The Axis club put
her in charge Of the "Better
Homes" campaign before she was
elected its president-and she has
thoroughly and capably put the af-
fair over in great style.
The same slavery has been true
of Mrs. Norris, at Edgewood,
whose collection Of household ap-
parati was this thorough-that not
even a soup ladle or measuring
spoon was lacking.
Any bride could have moved in
and gone to housekeeping at once,
lacking only a cat to make the
premises entirely complete-if she
liked cat.
Mrs. Kenneth Charlton was also
very busy with the Study circle
house, the club including 80
hustling women from that section,
which is one Of the most beautiful
in Birmingham environs.
And - Mrs. Norris mentioned
this with great pride-the exhibit

Will Raise Money
TO PAY EXPENSES

Mrs. D. F. Talley was official
treasure keeper of the day. She
ran around with the strong box,
and literally dared the Daughters
to try to get penny of the SITS,
insisting that it was all needed for
good causes, and whatever ex-
penses there might be, let the chap
ter ask for donations.
Mrs. Cecil agreed with her, and

Montgomery Folk
Should Feel Sad

Well, everybody felt so blue and
unhappy that the Montgomerians
didn't show up en- masse at the
Yancey chapters U. D. C. bridge
party Wednesday.
All the same, even if you didn't
come, we had the BEST time! And
you just missed it, that's all.
Such a great time, in fact, that
hereafter, just like Yancey's glee
club dance, the card party's to be
made an annual affair.
The colonial home of Mrs.
James Hicks presented the fluff
est sight ever saw when our iron
horse painted up and dropped us
before the front door.
Never saw so many pinks and
blues, King Tut garments, ador-
able shoes of white, black and
varying shades since summer ar
rived.
An afternoon party is so salts
flying in its colorful tints, I've al
ways wondered how the butterflies
could keep away.
1t must take an awful lot of self
control on their part.
More than IT'S women were
present, and most of the card
tables at which they played were
arranged on that wide porch of
what was formerly the old lack
Nabers home. That brought this
thought forcibly:
"Why don't we Southerners
maintain our great old porches of
by-gone day? We need them in
this climate-they're ours by right
of inheritance from our ancestors
and it's a shame to shut our
selves away with just mere sun
parlor arrangements or tiny gal
leries."
However, now that we're talk
ing about porches, I'd like to en-
phasize what fun back or side gal
leries can he-even more than
front porches. If they're just
around the curve Of the house out

Took i'm Neat Little
Sunni for Boys i'm Gray

Well-back to cards and spades.
The sum of SITS was taken in
from the U. D. C. gathering, at
which Mrs. w. c. Shackelford was
much rejoiced. Mrs. Alex Cecil,
with Mrs. Shackelford, who is
president of the organization,
were co-chairmen for the party's
happy consummation-and beauti-
full indeed were the prizes award
ed.
Mrs. Kirkman Jackson was the
skillful winner Of the first prize,
with a score of 5000. She imme-
diately became the envied posses
sor of handsome feather fan and
looked upon with great admiration
by all the guests. Mrs. Charles N.

with the pinkest of roses tor low

colorful basket filled with growing
plants.
At each table hand-painted
cornucopias were the favors worth
playing hard for.
Outside the happiness of meet
ing and being gay together, there
was an underlying joyful thought
with all those assembled for the
game. They were met to do me-
mortal service for the state, and for
the old Confederate soldiers.
For the money from the party
is to go toward buying handsome

be placed at the university. 1t
will commemorate the unselfish
service of the boys in gray who
enlisted from that institution when
the Civil war broke out. This was
Mrs. Chappell Cory's idea, Mrs.
Shackelford said, and so excellent
a thought that it has been ap-
proved by the national U. D. c..
organization, which has helped con-
tribute funds to the project.
Again, portion of the proceeds
will go toward the Mountain Creek
Home for old soldiers. Then funds
are needed, too, for the arsenal
gates at Selma. All these are Ala
bama memorials.
Northerners, some one said, have
done so much more than have
Southerners to commemorate the
deeds of their gallant dead.

Golf Tournament
at Country Club
EVERYTHING is lust stirr

Everything is just stirring at
the Country club, golf-wise.
Closely following on the heels
of a small tournament at Roebuck
in which there were 20 entries, and
in which the first flight was won
by Mrs. Paul Chalifoux, the Sec
ond by Mrs. Harry Mccormack,
and in which Mrs. Harry Geismar
won the lowest qualifying score,
a tournament in which more wom-
en- are playing than ever in the
history of Birmingham is going on.
This Lakeview contest, under
the Direction Of Mrs. Robert
Thach, has Ga entries, and is one
by plan Of elimination. There are
eight flights Of eight In the whole
tournament, low qualifying score
being won by Mrs. Carl Leibold
last week but one.
There are three prizes in every
flight-the first-a runner-up and
a consolation. The awards will be
golf balls and clubs, the winners
selecting their own kinds of clubs.
The tournament will-be ended
this week, many visitors going out
to attend final playings.
And concerning golf there are
two big announcements.

ham is to bid here various clubs
which play golf-with the idea to

$40. Cheap for the vast amount
Of educational good it cannot but
have accomplished.
Capable and energetic Mrs. M. E..
Morland was hostess for the day
at Norwood. ..-+-
Mrs. James H. Eddy added the
finishing touches to that neighbor-
hoods Better Home''-this senti-
ment being impressed upon every
visitor:
america should be a nation
where the people own and live in
their separate houses. That's much
better than existence in a flat. If
a person owns his home in COM
munity, he cannot help but be a
better citizen, for actual interests
then are fixed there"
Mrs. Pettus also set forth, how,
in building residence, homemak-
ers should consider what sort of
structure will look best upon their
purchased lot. AS illustration of
splendid handling, she related that
the high lot at Norwood called for
long, low residence, which was
the style Of "Better Home" put
upon it. In order that everybody
may get look at the Norwood
house-which is located at 1908
Thirty-first street, north - Mrs.
Pettus said it would be kept open
today-Sunday.
Come on-lessus all get married
and start in buying home!
Who is it that can't endure ex-
istence any longer without his own
fire screen?
That's the man Father Warren
G. Harding is encouraging-has a
warm spot in his heart for. Gown

Talladega-Don't lFlirt
With Mrs. HickSg

Mrs. James Hicks-at whose
home the party was held-really
exerted herself in such thousands
of ways for the joy of the card
players that I just count her in as
an official hostess, along with the
Yancey chapter members-and 1
got the opportunity to whisper to
her that she was a real asset to
this Birmingham.
She came here from Talladega
town a few years ago-but Cahaba
river water, you knowl It's made
her ours, and while we're strong
for Talladega, we simply won't
have her flirting to get Mrs. Hicks
back. At least five women told
me Of splendid community service
Mrs. Hicks has done for the Magic
City.
Versatile Mrs. Y. A. Dyer was
welcomed back by many hundreds
of friends, having been ill a
lengthy time; while, toward the
close Of the party, Mrs. w. S.
Brown drifted over like a snow
flake clad in black and white, and
was seated before a tiny table,
which served her as a sort of Of
ficial desk where groups Of women,
already on their way homeward,
came back to greet her. 1t was
thrilling to hear her talk of up-to-
the-minute things, and she told me
that Ann Jordon has come back to
Birmingham to live.
That interested me nightly, for
I read one of AIMS syndicate
stories one time about great vam-
pires Of history, and l still die
laughing whenever l remember it.
Ann, Mrs. Brown said, was a cou-
sin of hers-and she has great
right to be proud of her, as all
Birmingham has.
There was at the party, also, the
ever refreshing Mary Gillen, who
doesn't dress like anybody else,
blessed be, nor act, nor talk like
anybody else, thanks again-but
behaves just like her little old
beaded self and nobody else in
creation. Mary has Indian blood
in her veins somewhere along the
line, and is one of the city's dis
tinctly unique personalities; and
other cities snatch for her. If she
never does another thing on earth
she's got the fact to her credit
that she's saved for us from OBJ
livion some of the worlds most
beautiful old negro spirituals-and
if you don't appreciate that, you
don't have to. The musical world
does, and gives Mary great honor
for that selfsame. Mary read for
the audience just before it sepa-
rated like the petals of a great
rose, to drift forty ways over the
city.

wood.
The only difference between the
two locations is that the latter &C.
tually has some woods while, at
the former place, the houses and
lawns have done ct the woods up.
There aren't any in sight.
The two statesmen mentioned
are they who are pushing the ma
tional movement, with this idea in
mind, which is certainly fine for
every one of us jewellers upon
United States earth
That the American home shall
be clean, comfortable and neat.
And in order that the whole
people shall see how cheaply or ex-
pensively this can be accomplish
ed, the government is asking that
these demonstrations be put on.
If you visited one of the "Bet-
ter Homes,"-and went to learn,
you got indelibly fixed in your
eye a pleasing harmony, or con-
trast, of colorings; an idea of how
to be economical in household af-
fairs; suggestions for buying vari-
Gus apparati which mean more
time and energy saved by the
housewife. Also you were glori-
ously excited that, at last, you had
discovered an electric breeze-blow-
er that would dry your hair. Only
trouble with the thing was it
wouldn't stand up. You'd have to
hold it all the time. But if you
had a strong arm and liked exer-
else, you were in clover. No more
sitting in the sun until you got
stroke and freckles making sure
your scalp was dry enough that
chills and neuralgia wouldn't adopt
you as one of their sneezing or
phans.
The home at Edgewood, it was
emphasized, could be bought, paid
for, furnished and maintained by
man making $4,000 a year. The
one at Norwood was a little more
expensive-and arranged for a
householder with an income of
$500 yearly.
If there was a thing you wanted
particularly to know about house.
keeping, the hostesses for the clubs
took actual pleasure in telling you.
One day, at Edgewood, showing
the double trouble the Study circle
was willing to assume, the model
home was thrown open to the in
spection of the negroes of Rose
dale, who were given opportunity
to learn how to serve at table.
They were also taught why sani-
tation is necessary, and the use
Of electric appliances.
On duty the day we drove out
was Mrs. w. E. Norris, who acted
as hostess, and who was assisted
in receiving callers by H. G. White,
contractor, who built the pretty
bungalow, and which was loaned
by S. B. Nance. The low, long
living room was arranged with
summary, wicker furniture, and
contained the cleverest smoking
stand I ever saw.
The cabinet was made not to
fall over. It contained innumer-
able small drawers for cigarettes
and cigars, matches, ash tray ap-
paratus, and the $4,000 a year
owner would have to pay only $35
for it. A statue ought to be erect
ed to the philanthropist thoughtful
enough to make smoking stand
of that sort, which doesn't get the
shimmies every little day or two,
and fall down on the floor and
kick, scattering ashes and cigar
stumps, cigarette butts and SCOT
tipped match-ends you have to
scrape up, all over the $119.50
carpet.
