DOMESTIC DAYS
By ROY l.. M,CARDELL

The telephone wal rining and MT. Jarr answered it. Tell her I'm not in." whispered Mrs. Jarr tensely. as Mir. Jarr said aloud, "It's Mrs. Jsn- kins'
 MT. Jarr sputtered . minute and then said, "Mrs. Jarr has just gone out. I know it's quite carly, but believe she has gone to an orphans Christmas tree party"
 "wsll. I must say" remarked MsG Jarr in a tone of surprise,l as MT. Jerr put up ths-telephone receiver, you certainly can tell the biggest stories right off hand!"
 T acted only as your agent in the matter" retorted Mr. Jarr. T sub init that the Recording Angel must jot that one down against you"
 well, it's only little fib that peo- pie make use of every day." remarked Mrs. Jarr. but you told 1t, not mo-
 T have you to blame it on. and I'm as human as you are," said MT. Jarr.
 Well, don't you think if one does wrong and isn't worried about It, then it can't be c very grevious error?' asked Mrs. Jarr.
 T should say it was callousnsss." remarked Mir. Jarr solemnly.
 So it is. C.llousness on your woman as slibly as you did had gone to an orphans Christmas tree party at this early hour and never crack a smile. when all the time that poor, deceived woman must have known you were telling an untruth. beats me-
 But you told me to say you weren't in.'' cried the exasperated man. and. to give it holiday flavor, l added the orphans and the Christ mas tree.'
 "oh, dear" Mrs. Jarr only re- marked, as though to herself, "now I will have to stay at home."
 Why will you have to stay at home on Mrs. Jekins' account" asked Mir. Jarr.
 Because. you are big stupid!" cried Mrs. Jarr. 'If you had only done as I told you and simply said I wasn't in she would have known for me to see her. Now she will chance it that I have gone to the orphans Christmas tree party an. she will come up.'
 What should she come up for If she thinks you aren't at homer" asked the perplexed MT. Jarr.
 What do you imagine Mrs. Jen- kins is in New York at this hour for?' asked Mrs. Jarr in turn. "Wfx should she get up at daybreak and get in at s o'clock from East Ma laria? Her girl has left her right after getting her Christmas gifts maids in the suburbs always do that's why. So Mrs. Jenkins got up early to catch the train that girls leaving other places in the country catch, and failing in that, Mrs. Jen- kins wanted me to go girl-hunting with her."
 And now, thinking I'm away from home, thanks to your stupidity" Mrs. Jarr added she'll be up to tempt our Gertrude secretly! And Gertrude is too good a girl to lose, although l must say Gertrude runs out so much she isn't much help to me! But. anyway. Gertrude wouldn't xo to the Suburbs."

FORMER LEAGUE ORGANIZER IT
 LECTURES

Mrs. Maria Saunders McMahon has recently come to Birmingham and is now giving an interesting series of lectures on phycho-physical analy- sis. in the evening at Cable hall at $ and in the afternoons in the private dining room of the Hillman hotel at 3 o'clock.
 Mrs. McMahon will be most pleas antly remembered by early members
 of the league as one of It's first or ganizers, having spent the month of November. 1921, in organizing work for the Alabama league She has had vast experience as suffrage worker, and is always to be found in the fore front of all liberal movements. She is speaker of rare force and charm.
 Mrs. McMahon's system of analysis character analysis in that it classi- fies men into five types according. to his biological evolution. It takes mans measures as a human being and determines from his externals his chances for success in the world of today. Mrs. McMahon is a dis ciple of pr. Duran J. H. Ward, dis coverer of the fourth type and per fecter of this system, who was for many years at the head of the de- partment of anthropology of Harvard.
 Mrs. McMahon's work is character ized by sincerity and thoroughness. A broad, cultural background and special training, coupled With rare insight and charm of personality ad- mirably fit her for the service she Is rendering the public.
 This course of lectures is free and will be followed by the organization of private classes.
 When are husband and wife not one? When they are in business to- gether.
 This is not a riddle. It is the laws answer to Mrs. John F. Draughon. executive secretary of the Tennessee the death of her husband, sued the executor of his estate for payment of salary due her from her late hus- band.
 Mrs. Draughon had entered into a contract with her husband to revise certain forms used in the business college he condrcted, and do other technical work. She was to receive s1Q0 a month, and had already work ed 13 months without drawing any salary, when her husband died. The executor of the estate contended that a husband and wife are one in the eyes of the law, and that business contract between them for services rendered could not be valid.
 Judge Hickman of Nashville, who was>presiding in the Davidson county court, where the case was heard, decided that contract of a wife with her husband covering services of a technical or expert na- nary domestic duties, is valid and binding" The husband. after all. in the eyes of the law, was not hus- band. but a mere business associate.

THAT WORD
ELIMINATE

"Eliminate" Is one of the words that came into being when the world was young, and it's mental processes were largely limited to physical acts Thus to eliminate. in the original Latin, meant to put out of doors
 This physical process Is plainly in- dicated by the component parts of the word: "e'' or "eX," out, and "limen, threshold. Thus in an exact sense the early Roman. when he eliminated q thing, put it out of doors.
 Gradually as moral values assumed in the mind of the primitive Roman shape the physical process of putin g things beyond or out of the thres- hold began to take on a fiEurative value, applying to thoughts, phrases and the like.

 He sometimes plays the penevoient despot Around the holidays. Once, when Independence Day fell on Monday. clared Saturday off fHe didn't want to cut into his own weekend in the country)- His employees were, of course, slav-

A MAIDS MAXIMS

Thanks to the pervasive influence of Femjnism and of Prohibition. there must be several women thks New Year who plan to swear oft smoking, and at least as many men who highly resolve to cut out the candy.
 It was green Christmas and for the New Yorker bounded on the north by Canada, on the east by the Atlantic ocean-it looks like full New Year.
 A friend is a person who doesn't send you a boudoir cap at Christmas and then feel hurt because you fail to despatch three pages of gratitude before New Years.
 The children write their letters to one Santa Claus before Christmas; the rest of Us write ours to ten or fifty S. C.'s after Christmas. The children have all the luck!
 It's simple enough to turn over new leaf--and even simpler for the alarmed thing to flop back!
