For q woman sacrifices all that
 man does, and then some. She
 gives up her personal liberty, her
 financial independence, her right
 to amuse herself with gay flirta-
 tions with the opposite sex. And
 she also gives up her name, her
 very identity, and often her home
 and country. For after marriage
 woman is known merely as an
 appendage of her husband, and
 the courts have decided that the
 man shall be the sole judge of
 residence of married couple.
 Let no one underestimate the value of these latter two sacrifices. It is not without a pang that woman who bears an old and distinguished name, a name which proclaims her aristocra- tic descent to all who hear it, exchanges it for some common and plebeian moni- ker. Nor is it without many q bitter pang of regret that the Claire Mont morencies and the Gwendolyn Cecils merge themselves into plain Mrs. John Smith and Mrs. Jonas Huggins.
 As for girl doing the Ruth
 stunt and saying to her husband,
 Where thou goest I will go, and
 thy people shall be my people, and
 they God my God" why, the tears
 that homesick little brides have
 shed in strange cities would make
 a waterspout if they were all
 gathered together.
 It is true when a man marries he gives up his freedom, but he never be- comes quite the domestic slave that a woman does. Always the man can slip his letters for part of the twenty-four hours. Always he has avenues of es- cape that are not open to the woman. Every day the man leaves his home and goes to his business, where he is thrown in constant contact with diff fcrent men and women, where he sees new faces and hears new things. And a few weeks he has a perfectly good alibi ready to his hand in business trip.
 But marriage brings a woman a life sentence of hard labor in her home. Her work is the most monotonous in the world and she has no escape from it. She does not even have the holidays that her husband has, because Sundays and holidays for the balance of the family always mean double work for the wife and mother.
 It may be gallins to the married man to realize that he dares not re- main downtown and have dinner with friend, or stay out until 12 o'clock at night, or come home little uplifted

But even so, no man is such a sacrifice to his family that his wife is. If they are poor, she also has to do without the things she would like to have, and, in addition, she gives the supreme sacrifice of her body to her children. She goes through agony to bear them and she gives to them years and years of absolute self-abnegation. Nights that are broken walking the collie, covering the restless little sleepers, getting water for thirsty little lips, watching over sick beds. Days that are full of unremitting toll, cooking. washing, mending, answer ing endless questions, always with the cry "Mo-o-ther echoing in her ears.

the other day that cost me a cake and a freezer of cream for the orphans ln just the same way. And the one got today was from Mrs. Davis, just as I was starting out to go to Louise Proctor's wedding"
 Not the Louise Proctor used to know?" cried her brother. "Why on earth wasn't asked?"
 Probably because you have so sorely neglected her lately" said LoHetta. "She has no doubt forgotten l have a brother. But let me tell you. When I came out of the house I thought I'd take a bus to go down in. l heard some one calling me"
 Just like the song," agreed her brother.
 q won't finish if you don't keep still" Loretta said, sharply. II turned around and saw Mrs. Davis waving to me and calling out to know whether l was going to the wedding. I said I was, so she opened the car door and we drove off.
 "As soon as she started she began telling me about some work she is in- terested in and asking me to contribute to it. When she finished that subject she started off on the bazaar her church had and said they are going to have what they call an auxiliary sale of the left-overs and she wanted me to come over and buy.
 Mrs. Davis monologue lasted un- til we reached the church, when as it was really very dark, we had hard time finding a place to park. The girls that are getting married nowadays seem to belong to such out-of-the-way churches that it is quite hard to get to them, not having seen the buildings before"
 ''FOr that reason you ought to be thankful for the lift," said her brother reprovingly. Tell me how the bride looked?
 We were little late in getting in, Loretta went on, ''so we had to sit to- ward the back. l was disappointed at first, but when l saw the bride l didn't mind"
 Was she so homely as that?' cried her brother. Louise Proctor used to be a good looking girl"
 /''There was lot of people there that I knew" said Loretta. "So l was very much interested in the whole affair, but am certainly glad that the bride didn't see me-"
 And why not? queried her brother. Was your face soOty?"
 My face was alright, that is, no worse than usual" said Loretta. But Mrs. Davis had not said what wedding she was going to, and I was sitting among the invited guests. But it was Jennie 1Iayner's wedding and not Louise's. And I had not been invited.

JOINT HOSTESSES GIVE BRIDGE LUNCHEON
 Mrs. Fred Smith and Mrs. Dave c. Hudson entertained with a bridge luncheon Thursday at the home of the former. Sixteen guests were included in this affair.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-21

Men tell their w:ves that they ought to be thankful that they don't have to go out into the world and that they have nothing to do but stay home and take care of the children, but one Sun day afternoon alone with his offspring will reduce any able-bodied man to the verge of nervous prostration.
 Men say that they give up their financial independence when they marry, but at least they have tine handling of their money. They be- stow it on their wives and chill dren. They do not have to beg anybody for every penny they get. They have their independence left.
 It is the woman who has been wage earner before marriage, who has had her own pocketbook, who tastes the gall of the cup of financial dependence in matri- mony.
 Wherefore, I say that when men complain of what they sacrifice in mat rimony, they don't know what they are talking about. They ought to try the woman's end of it for while.

Great Smith Family Asked to
Cut Loose From Democrats
and Republicans
By HARRY B. HUNT

WASHINGTON, Aug 2O.-sincc
Al Smith failed of the Democratic
nomination, where will the Smith
vote go in the coming election?
Not the "Smith vote" as mean
ing the political following CT tn'
popular Empire State governor
but the "Smith vote" as meaning
the great family CT Smiths, Father
and Mother Smith and the Older
Smith sons and daughters, whose
tota might add million or so &c
the score of the lucky candidate.
So far as the persuasive poWer2
of Miss Ethel Smith of Washing
ton can prevail, the Smith family
vote will cut loose from the DID
ties that have bound it to the Re
publicans and Democrats and ally
itself with the Independent candi-
dacy of Bob La Toilette.
The Smiths, according to Miss
Smith, are fundamentalists. The
name itself is elemental, or funda-
mental.
And the La Toilette program,
she says, deals with fundamentals,
The Smiths, also, are the most
human or humans. And
"The La Toilette doctrines deal
with the needs of humanity, the
individual needs of men and wo-
men, rather than the needs of bust
ness and commerce." she declares.
Of cours Miss Smith isn't re.
stricting herself to the conversion
of Smiths in her labors for the La
Toilette ticket Whether ones
name is Smith or not may be
Jones or Brown or Davis or Kabot.
schnik-she invites them all into
the La Toilette camp.
AS worker for many years IL

family names.
Among the great number of wo-
men working in the various nation
al associations and organizations
which have their headquarters at
the capital, some has in greater
degree than she that mystical yet
forceful quality Of personality"
A woman approaching middle
age, she combines the charm ana
enthusiasm of young girl with
the analytical find and mature
judgment of an elderly woman.
When she goes on the stump
later in the fall, as she now plans
to do, the Smith family will have
a representative in the campaign of
which whom it may well be
proud
Even c. Bascomb Slemp, secre-
tary to the president, hasn't been
able to keep scool-with no, wen
not say 1t that way again-with the
president during the tolrid days
that gripped the White House just
in advance of the official notifica-
tom of the Coolidge nomination.
Bascom has moved out to the
Chevy Chase Club. The tempera-
true at the club, it is reported. is
several degrees cooler than ii
was at the time Senator Joe
Robinson staged his historic battle
with DR.. James Mitchell, as a result
of which he was dropped from mem
bership and barred from the links.
In fact, by comparison with the
heat generated at that time, the
club is now considered the coolest
place in Washington.
And, with Robinson gone, It's
much more pleasant place for
Slemp.
