The Art Club and Its Work.

The most notable club gathering of tbe week was that of the Art club on Tburs- day at Miss Florida Copeland's studio The cIup' which has membership of thirty members, is charming coterie of Birming
 ham artists, and they will meet regularly
 on Friday afternoons of each week at 2 O CLOCK at Miss Copeland's studio, where they will draw from life and from copies of the old masters. There will be a series of Bohemian evenings when they will receive in all their artistic glory and there will he many delightful features that will be intro- duced. The club will give art exhibitions and will also establish an art exchange. which will be conducted on firm business basis This movement is one of vital in- terest and the club hopes to be able to open it's exchange by the first of December. In addition to the water colors, etchings, hand-painted china. score cards and draw ing that will be for sale, the club will have other artistic fancies for sale in the way of needle-work, embroidery, together with home-prepared cakes and other articles that are unusually included in woman's exchange. A matron will be put in charge of this department, when 1t is formally opened The opening of an exchange would be one of the most practical results of any woman's, organization in Birmingham. In Memphis recently number of the most prominent women have organized a wo- mans exchange. The Memphis papers em- phasized the class to be benefited by such an avenue The number of gentlewomen who are compelled to aid in supporting their families, and who are unable to go from home in search of employment are able by means of a woman's exchange to not only support their families, but accommodate many women who have not the time to spare to neede-work or to prepare home

Orqanization of a Woman's Club.

A called meeting of the local Federation of Women's Clubs was held at Magnolia hall yesterday morning for the purpose Of discussing the general policy of the organ ization and some proposed amendments to the constitution.
 An article of the constitution making in- dividuals eligible to membership was the point that elicited the most discussion It was argued that there were many women who did not belong to any of the literary social clubs who would be glad to become members of the local Federation in case 1t should decide to take up work that would benefit the community at large, instead Of confining its work to the literary field. Those opposed to individual membership expressed the view that confusion would arise as to representation; that the Feder- ation of Clubs would thus lose its distinct i've characteristic, without gaining any sub stantial advantages. After many eloquent and stirring remarks on both sides this dicult problem was solved by the pfoposi- ton to organize woman's club on a broad and liberal basis, such as has been so popu- lar and useful in other communities.
 After adjournment of the Federation the ladies present resolved themselves into a meeting to consider the question of organ izing the new club. Mrs. French was called to the chair and Mrs Zac Smith was ap- pointed secretary. Mrs. Leedy made mo- tion, seconded by Mrs. Ball, that the Woman's Club of Birmingham be formed. This was passed by an enthusiastic vote, and every lady present gave her name as a member of the club The remarks made brf1eathed but-one sentiment-that there should be no exclusiveness; that all women of respectable character who are earnestly desirous of extending the hand in loving comradeship to every other woman may meet on a common ground and counsel to- gether for "the greatest good to the great est number"
 A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and bylaws and to report at meeting to be held next Saturday morning at 10 o'clock at the hall in Third avenue. second door from Twenty-first street.
 All ladies interested in this movement are most cordially invited to be present. whether or not they wish to join.
 The committee to draw up the constitu- tion Is as follows: Chairman, Mrs. I.s e. French, and Mesdames Ball, Leedy. Cruik-
