Although these early Lenten days have brought with them cessation of social gaieties, Miss Margaret Cawthon of Selma, the popular guest of Mrs. w. W. Groom, is continuing to bask in the sunshine of many delightful attentions from friends. Yesterday she was in- debted to Mrs. E. Brevard Walker for a delightful afternoon, as Mrs. Walker entertained her at two tables of bridge at her Ashland Place home, and pre- scented her with a hand-painted vanity as souvenir. Those who, with the honoree, made up two tables of partici- pants were Mrs. Carter Luscher, Mrs. R. F. Neville, Jr., Mrs. W. W. Groom, Mrs. Warren Christian, Mrs. I. B. Ben nett of Birmingham, Mrs. O. T. Pieper and Miss Adele Bounds. The trophies which were pretty little hand-painted vanities were won by Mrs. Bennett and Miss Bounds, and following the games, the hostess put the finishing touch to her hospitality with salad course and tea.--Mobile Register.

 ''She loves all the agencies that bring men and women into social pleasures and helpful service, yet her greatest joy is to exercise the gentle sovereignty of her own home.

 Moreover. the great majority of girls in these days have earned their own living, and that has taught them a knowledge of men and given them a discipline that it takes twenty years of matrimony to give woman.

girls in mothers day were not bit more modest, bit more sensible, bit more efficient, or bit better qualified to make good wives and mothers than are the girls of today.
 Begin with modesty. which, as has been aptly said, is merely a matter of geography, and is certainly matter of custom, the same thing being proper, or improper. according to the time and place. Mother was scandalized to show more than the tip of her toe, and men gaped and leered if she exposed so much as her ankle when she lifted her skirt. Mother spoke of the limbs of piano. A woman's legs in these days are no more taboo or objects of prurient Ob- servation than her hands or her arms. which is distinct gain in mOdesty for both women and men.
 Do you consider the nude in art i'm moral? woman once asked Dr. John son. 'No,' replied the great lexicog rapher, but the question is
 "When you look at the modern girls costume you wish to think how much more sensibly mother dressed. What joke, Get out any old fashion book and look at the pie lures of mother trailing along the streets with microbe-sweeping skirts, twelve yards around the bottom; with a hustle the size of a camel's hump on her back; with sleeves that she could scarcely get through door. Is that more sensible than the short skirted, short-sleeved. chemise. frock of today? Isn't it better for women to park their corsets than to lace themselves down to an eighteen-inch waist measure?
 ''Baseless also is the old theory that mother was more efficient than the modern girl, and that when mother got married she was a crackerjack house. keeper and trained manager. All non- sense. Mother learned housekeeping at the expense of fathers stomach, and she learned to sew making her first baby clothes, just as the average girl does now.
 ''In fact, most modern girls have had a smattering of domestic science in the schools, and really begin their married life knowing more about cooking and sewing than their mothers did.
 And as for handling money, the average girl can get more out of dollar than her mother can right now. She has been brought up in the hard school of high prices, where she has to be shrewd trader to keep herself dressed well. That has made her Il bargain sales Slputh and has given

 Well" I returned, "you need re-

 they were invisible to the naked eye.
 Tt is lovely for you to idealize your mother, but the cold truth remains that the virtues that you admire so much in mother are not the qualities that you demand in a girl today. You will have nothing to do with a girl unless she is smartly dressed, unless she is full of pep, unless she is superlative dancer, unless she is up to the minute in every respect. And then. when the poor thing has broken her neck trying to please you, you don't want to marry her be- cause she is what you have made her instead of being like your mother.
