Interesting Side On | eague
 Conve entlon

At the convention of the Alabama League of Women Voters, which takes place in Gadsden Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, there will be many speak CTS of interest, chief among whom will be Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham of &lew Waverly, Texas, who was recently elected at Buffalo second vice president of the National League of Women voters. She is to speak on Thursday evening on the topic of Women and World Peace"
 Alabama women are particularly in. terested in Mrs. Cunningham and feel closer to her, perhaps, than to the other national officers, first because she is the southern representative on the board and second because she is taking the place made vacant by their own Mrs. Solon Jacobs, who served so long and so ably as national officer.
 Mrs. Cunningham was born in East Texas and was one of the first women to be graduated from the school of phar- macy at the University of Texas. She is grandniece of the famous Dr. Ma rion Sims, whose statue stands in : Bryant Park, New York City.
 Mrs. Cunningham is an only suffrage worker, having been president of the Galveston Equal Suffrage association from 1913 to 1915, and president of the Texas Equal Suffrage association from 1915 until the disbanding of the or ganization after Texas ratification of the federal suffrage amendment on June 2S, 1919. Mrs. Cunningham was secre- tary to the congressional committee of the National American Woman Suffrage association in 1919 and 1919, in Wash ington.
 During the war she was chairman of the Texas Woman's Liberty Loan com mittee and was appointed by the gov- ernor as member of the state military welfare commission, which worked for the betterment of camp conditions.
 Mrs. Cunningham. served as execu- tive secretary of the national league from April, 1921, to the fall of 1923. She is a woman of rare personal charm, and her ability as an orator si well known. The state league feels itself very fortunate indeed to have her for the convention. She is taking the place of the director of the third region, Miss Adele Clark of Richmond, Va, whose own state convention dates confIieted with those of the Alabama league.

She shud- ders with apprehension at the thought of poverty, and wonders how she could endure to go shabby and do without the things to which she is accustomed. She wonders helplessly what she would do if she had to earn her own living.

JEALOUSY AND LOVE
Beatrice Fairfax Points Out That the Two
Can Never Really Exist for Very
Long Together.
Long Together.

Frances R.-who had employed
Jim to represent her legally in
strengthening out the financial a.
fairs Of her late husband.
Mary knew where Frances lived
in a luxurious home in the up
per East Sixties. Calling a taad,
she drove without an instant's
hesitation to this address. and,
leaving the car waiting in readi-
ness for her return, she brushed
by the butler who answered the
bell and ran quickly, silently up
the wide stairway to the drawing
room.
One glance was enough. Jim
was gently and smilingly helping
Frances into her evening wrap.
AS she slipped into its luxur1-
Gus folds, Frances turned and
looking appealing into Jim's eyes
murmured: 'tYou have been won
derfuI. How can I thank you?
But I will see you tomorrow with
out faiI?'
without fall" Jim responded
--fervently, Mary imagined. II
shall put your appointment over
everything else. And cheer up,
won't you? Things are not nearly
as desperate as you think"
An inarticulate cry at this In
slant arrested the attention OF
both Frances and Jim. They
turned just, in time to see Mary,
fairly livid with jealous rage
tear her engagement ring from
her finger and hurl it at Jim.
In a second she was gone.
Jim hurried after her, but when
he reached the door her taxi was
whirling down the street.
It was months later that Mary
learned what really had happened
that night.
Frances had sent for Jim as her
attorney suddenly in a panic Or
fright. She had received word
from her dead husbands father
through his attorney that the TAM
lily would fight her claim to a
share Of her husbands fortune by
denying that she had ever been
married to him. Her husbands
family, who were heartless social
climbers, were estranged from MN
because Of his marriage to the
pretty little war worker, which
took place while both We're In
service in France.
Then 1t was, fearing immediate
publicity and disgrace for her lit
tie daughter and herself, that she
sent for Jim as her attorney.
That was ten years ago. Today
Mary is married to a rich manu-
facturer, but rr1Inors of her do
nestle unhappiness persist. They
are easily believable by those who
know Mary's jealous nature.
Jim has never married. His un-
fortunate experience with jealousy
has embittered him against all
women and marriage.
There are persons who claim
that jealousy is a part Of love-
that it proves love.
How can distrust establish or
prove trust? The two emotions.
love and jealousy, are direct op-
posites. The instant one is ad-
mitted into consciousness the
other is destroyed.
