 women more sensible fashions in food. A girl may lunch on chocolate eclairs and not immediately feel the ill effects, if she sits all day at a desk. A house. wife, handling food much of the time, may herself be malnOurished without realizing it. But sports give a woman the healthy appetite which demands healthy satisfaction. After long, brisk walk, a game of tennis, a swim, she craves solid, nourishing food.
 Sports give women hours of keen, exhilarating happiness, and every min ute of happiness is so much velvet, as the father of Edna Ferber's 'Selina' used to say. Sports for women give the next generation a better chance, since it will be born of vigorously healthy mothers. The increasing pOpu- larity of sports among women also means, in my opinion, a distinct ethical gain, for the sporting spirit is a part of the code of every true sportswoman.
 "'The sporting spirit is a phrase as difficult to define as the word gentle man. but includes qualities, standards, scruples which are desirable everywhere, not merely on the playing field.

 Can the girl adopt all the boys sports? Girls and women appear to be participating in nearly all of them for instance, running, jumping9 vault ing, basketball, hockey, to name only a few of the more vigorous. Never theless, it seems to me that golf, ten- his, swimming, skating, and riding are best suited to women, since these offer as much diversion and exercise as any and are less rugged in their demands on the players.
 Naturally, I consider golf a.particu- larly fine feminine sport, although I realize that not all girls and women can find sufficient time to play it. But it. keeps them out of doors and walking, besides working all the muscles of the body in the actual play. One can start playing it at any age but I be- lieve, if possible, a girl should begin around the age of IA. If she is not strong, she will gain strength as she goes along. However, strength is not the all-important factor in golf, and under proper instruction any girl should develop into fair player.
 "'rhe more enthusiasm and time she can devote to her game, the better, al- though she should remember that it is as easy to overtrain in golf, if not easier, than in any other game. The over training is more mental than physical.
 '"The greatest handicap to women's golf, at present, is the difficulty of finding a place to play. It is not im- possible for a family in the country or the suburbs to have. a private tennis court for the daughters. But they can hardly build them a private golf. course
 Unless one belongs to club in the vicinity, it is hard for a girl or woman to geN to golf course. Play on munic- ipal links is very difficult for her, as they are nearly always congested, start ing time often must be secured many days ahead, and women are usually re- stricted to morning play and barred on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Such a schedule makes golf hard for girl who is employed, or for woman with q house to manage.
 'On private courses, too, she is us- ually persona non grata Saturday aft ernOons and Sunday mornings, and must take her golf during the week. There fore, believe 1t would be an excellent idea for women in each vicinity to have their own course. A course reserved entirely for women has been built on Long Island during the past year, which will help considerably the women in. the New York district.

Pretty Event Was HoIIey-Morriis
 Wedding -

A wedding beautiful in it's simplicity was that of Miss Winifred' Taylor Mor- ris and Mir. Joseph Kyle Holley, of We tumpka, Ala, which was solemnized Tuesday afternoon at 5 80 o'clock.
 The ceremony was performed in the music room of the Louie Compton seminary, where Miss Morris received her education and has since made her home with her mother. Palms, smilax and tall white tapers and trellis work formed a lovely altar in the alcove of this room. Dr. w. R. Hendrix, pastor of the South Highlands Methodist church, officiated.
 Miss Ethel Atkins played the nuptiaI music on the organ and Miss Joella De Ormand sang, both being schOolmateB of the bUide.
 Miss Jamie Lou Holley, a sister of the groom, was the maid of honor, wear | ing q lovely model of accordion pleated peach crepe trimmed in lace and carried an arm bouquet of pink roses.
 Little Dian Morris, the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. James Morris, and niece of the bride was the dainty flower girl in frock of fresh georgette and she carried q baket of mixed flowers.
 The bride, who was given in mar riage by her brother, Enoch Morris, was pretty picture in her wedding dress of white georgette and princess lace over white satin. A court train of georgette edged in princess lace fell from a deep yoke of the lace. Her veil of tulle was arrangd coronet fashion and caught to the head with orange blossoms. Valley lilies and pale yellow rosebuds formed the bridal bouquet. Mir. J. NJ. Holley served his son as best man.
 Following the ceremony an informal reception was was held with the bride and groom. Mrs Eli T. Morris, mother of the bride, in a black lace dress over white with q cOrsage. of yellow roses and lilies of the valley, Miss Hattie Morton in black lace with corsage of pink roses and Mr. and Mrs. J. NJ. Holley, parents of the groom, receiving.
 Ices were served on the vine-clad porch by Miss Helen Fowlkes and Mrs. Russell Weir (Evelyn Merriam)
 The bride is the beautiful daughter of Mrs. Eli T. Morris and the late Hon. orable Morris, who was a prominent at- home in Birmingham for many years, where she has endeared herself to a larg cricle of friends.
 Mir. HOlley is the son of Mir. and Mrs. J. M. Holye, prominent family of Wetumpka. He is a graduate of Au- burn and q successful civil engineer. His position at the present is in Me Minnville, Tenn. where after a we'd ding trip he will take his bride to re- side.
 Among the out-of-town guests were Mrs. T. D. Holder and Mrs. W. A. Willis of Nashville, aunts of the bride Mr. and Mrs. J. NJ. Holley, Misses Thelma and Jamie Lou Holley, Mir. Mon- roe Holley, Mir. Raburne Holley and Mir. Mat Lawson Holley, all of We tumpka.

nous; to be not merely honest but un- willing to snatch too graspingly at per sonal advantage; to give the utmost that is in them and then, if it isn't enough, to begin training, cheerfully, for the next encounter; to act fairly and speak frankly; to be as good losers as they are winners.
 Good comradeship in sport demands that women should be allowed to com pete with men, though the competition at present seems to be limited to golf, tennis and swimming. Women are i'm proving constantly in all three pur- suits, but hardly think they will equal or pass mems records. After all, there is the physical handicap! That's no reason why women should not do their best, and learn all they can from play ing with men who have been in the field so much longer"

should have one or more public links, according to the population. There is no substitute for the links except indoor golf schools, which are very good for beginners. A nine-hole course for wOm- en could be completed in any small town-after the land is acQuired-fOr the moderate sum of $14,000. A move ment for such courses is fast gaining headway in the cities and towns of our middle states, and why should not it's possibilities in health and happy recreation interest clubs and other or ganized groups of women?
 If golf, however, is not available, some other sport or exercise is almost sure to be. Let a woman take what is at hand, and take it as often and as regularly as possible. Unless she cares to do so, she need not special lze on one particular sport, provided she gets her proper exercise.
 Tt naturally will vary to some ex- tent, according to the season of the year and the demands on her time. but she will be greatly benefited if she can arrange for an hour q day of physical exercise-even if it must consist merely of walking back and forth to her work. For her Saturday afternoons, tennis and water sports or, in their season, winter sports will give more permanent returns than afternoons spent at the matinee or the shops.
 If a girl really becomes interested in sport she will not want to give it up when she grows older, or marries. and do not see why she should. Amer ican women of pioneer days did not play tennis or golf, but they did get plenty of outdoor exercise taking care of their gardens and their chickens, gathering berries and nuts, riding and even shooting. They were a hardy race of mothers.
 "Their sports were not those of the wife and mother of today, but she will do well to substitute her own if she wishes to remain vigorous, fit, and slender.
 "MOre sports for matrons, fewer card parties and teas, and the beauty par lors will not be so full of the mid dle-aged trying to find synthetic youth

 With the same set of features and other attributes the outdoor girl should be, and usually is, more attractive than her house-loving sister, since the for mer has a better complexion, better figure, a brighter pair of eyes, and a happier smile.
 Good health, good poise, good mus cles, a balanced physical development, the creation of reserve fund of bodily energy-all these advantages are de- rived by women from their contact with sports. There are others. Sports teach

Lovely Musical Prograrn To Be resented Tonight

One of the most beautiful musical entertainments during the summer sea son will be presented this evening at the Southside Baptist church, the pro gram having been arranged by one of Birmingham's most popular musicians, Mrs. Maggie McCarty Logan, Organist, and choir director of the Baptist church. The following program will be rendered:
 1. Harp Serenade, Trio (Oelschae- gel.
 ?. Andante Cantabile, string quartet (Tscraikowsky).
 8. Song (Selected), Mir. Owen Gil lespy.
 4. Andante from Concerto for Cello in A Minor (Galterman), MT. Cross man.
 5. Londonderry Air, Trio Arranged by Fritz Kreislerl
 6. Swedish Concerto for Flute (Popp), MT. Leichsenring.
 T. Indian Love Song Pale Moon (arranged by Fritz Kreisler), Mir. Schmidt.
 s. Song (selected), Mir, Owen Gil- lespy.
 5. (a) Allegro Assai from, quartet No. 12 in c Minor Crank Schubert1.
 (b) Old Plantation Song, Angel Ga- briel (arranged by POchon).
 10. NOcturne of Flue, Violin, Cello and piana (Doppler),
 The young men who will furnish the string and flute numbers on the pro gram have come only recently from European centers of culture, where they enjoyed the training of some of the ablest and best known teachers and directors of the continent. Still young men they are possessed in full measure with the talent sentiment, and diligence that invariably distinguish artists of the highest rank.
 Quite likely Birmingham will one day be proud to be called the home of these cultured young men.
 Mir. Harry Schmidt, violinist, is from the University of Berlin and the Con servatory of Dortmund. When only sixteen he was engaged for the Symphony orchestra of Helsingfors, Finland. This high honor was fol- lowed by periods of playing In Sym phony orchestras in Dortmund. Dues seldorf and Sb Petersburg. He de termined early on teaching as career. Keeping that plan in view, he has had pupils wherever he has been, SO thar ne might the more easily retain the at titIde of the teacher turning aside to play, rather than the other way round.
 NIT. George Detlesfen, violinist, had his training at the Brahms Conserva- tory, Hamburg, an institution well known in this country, and to which many American students went while ago. That he was a pupil of Professor Burmeisters and was regularly em- ployed as violinist in the Music Friends orchestra of Hamburg, and of which the eminent Doctor Nikisch was one time conductor, constitute high commendation.
 Mir. Ludwig Stoere, viola, studied at both Cologne and Dortmund Conserva- tories. His experience covers the wide field of several years playing both in Opera and Symphony orchestras. Be sides being an accomplished string play CT, he is an able trumpeter.
 Mir. Max Leiehsenring, flutist, is a pupil of the world-famOus artist, George Stolte of the German Conserva- tory, Hamburg. Mir. Leichsenring' 's ability earned him place in the Court

Perhaps the most simple and Ob- yiOus proof of the revolutionary effect of sport on the life of the modern wom- an is to be found in the change in her manner of dress. Doctors lectured for years on the evils of tight lacing, but it took Dr. Athletics to abolish this practice. Thanks to the same agency, not even Paris has been able to force most women to go back to the insan- itary, clumsy, long skirt for daytime wear. Common sense never persuaded the average girl to wear low heels and broad toes, but the flapper, who plays games, finds such footgear desirable. And she has achieved the complete free dom of knickers for riding, skating, hiking, and other vigorous sports
 Sports beneficial effects have, how ever, gone deeper than clothes. Skin deep isn't the word for them, either. Although a clear, naturally rosy com plexion is one of a girls rewards for participating in healthful outdoor ac- tivities, it is the increase in her general health and vigor which is the most val uable result of these activities.
 "A London doctor announced recent ly that anemia is almost unknown among the younger generation of Eng fish girls. Several American physi- clans, after making a study of statis- tics kept by the physical welfare de- partments of girls colleges, have found that the college girl of this generation is taller, heavier, and better developed than the girl of her mothers genera tion.
 "How soon should girls sport edu- cation begin? Just as early as we be- gin to educate her in other ways that is, in the kindergarten. The sound body is as important as the sane mind. Unless she is repressed and forced to conform to a false ideal of what is 1ady-like,' a girl enjoys playing games and being outdoors as much as a boy. She responds to the direction of those interested in sport as naturally as a flower blooms.
 "To call a girl a 'tomboy' was once term of reproach. But the tomboy- ideal-that of a free, vigorous, out door girlhOOd-is far more healthy than the old-fashiOned conception of a lit tie girl who must, like Goldilocks, sit Theatre orchestra at Karlsruhe.
 Mir. Walter Grossman, 'cellist, is a pupil of the Stern Conservatory of Ser lin, where later he became a member of the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra. Before coming to the United States he made a concert tour of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
 It will interest those who give thought to such matters to learn that every one of these gentlemen is from a family in which either a parent or grandparent, or both, reached a high position as a musician.
 It Is pleasant to be able to add that they have been sought out as teach CTS of the instruments of which they are masters, and have become in that way already part of the educational en- dowment of Birmingham.
