Country Club Members to
Organize Dramatic Club

The success of the Halloween party and
the unusual demand of the members has
determined the governors of the Country
club to have the ball room enclosed at once
with glass. Removable sash in panels will
be used for this purpose and the work will
be pushed to completion in time for cele-
bration on Thanksgiving Day. A Drama tic
club will also be organized within the men,
bership of the club and a play put under
the season. High backed oaken settees
vide two coy ingle hooks, and piled high
with cushions will be as comfortable as
they are characteristic
So much interest in palmistry as a science
has been aroused by the very remarkable
readings by the two palmists, Madame
Reno and her brother, Professor Reno, on
Halloween night that the Country clue
members intend arranging for an evening
when Professor Reno will speak upon the
scientific principles of palmistry. Possibly
the futurity lines on which prediction is
founded, will also be touched upon. 1t is the
design of the entertainment committee to
provide through the winter season enter
tainments which will be entirely out of the
ordinary and which will hardly fail to
make one of the social centers for what
promises to be a very gay winter, the beau
tiful little club home in Druid park. The
committee of ladies who will serve after
noon tea at the country club once week
has been selected and will soon announce
the programmes for this very delightful
form of entertainment.

Golden Rod Number OF Woman's Work

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
The Alabama Federation of Women's
clubs is deeply interested in the intellectual
and industrial education of such boys ana
girls as are denied the advantages of ade-
quate means and favorable environment,
and in elevating the educational status of
the state; Therefore the federation has
pledged itself to endeavor to inaugurate
a cheap system of travelling libraries for
places remote from the centers of thought; :
to found free scholarships for worthy but
dependent girls at the Girls Industriar
school and elsewhere; to awaken a wide
spread sentiment in favor of better schools
and more of them, and for qualified super,
intendents and teachers, and to establish an
industrial farm treformatory) where the,
but for this, lost boys of our state may be
given suoh training as will make of them
useful and self-respecting citizens
Last year one of our committees secured
charter and a small appropriation for
this institution, but was practically chaf-
lenged to rcove-before asking for further
aid srom the state-that the best class of
citizens approves this work; will you not
help us to do this?
The federation publishes a smalf maya
zine in the interest of the literary and phil
anthropic work of its clubs; no one conn
nected with the work or the magazine rel
ceives monetary compensation 1t is pro-
posed to make the November issue unusu-

this charming woman In the life of The ma
tion's hero In regard to his candidacy for
the presidency.
The coming Mrs. Dewey, says the Phila-
delphia Times. is one of the most intelligent
and forceful women at the capital While
thoroughly womanly and justly beloved by
all who know her, she has grown up in. a
political atmosphere, with her father poll
tieian of national fame, her mother won-,
an of rare intelligence and usefulness in all
the actions of her husband. her brother long
since political leader whose name Is IA
miliar in every section of the country, VINO
has been candidate for president, and now
the candidate of his party for governor OF
Ohio, and her husband, the late General
Hazen, one of the most accomplished OF the
military, literary and progressive circles
of Washington.
With such an environment the coming
Mrs. Dewey, with her rare knowledge OF
public men and political movements, and
the laudable ambition that her attainments
and position fully justify, it is entirely safe
to assume that Admiral Dewey will decide
the question of becoming a candidate Tor
president as he shall be advised by what
he is proud to call the better part of his
household.
General Grant had fully determined, af-
ter the close of the war, that under no
circumstances would he permit himself to
be a presidential candidate, and in that de-
cision Mrs. Grant who had little taste Tor
the responsibilities and distinction of OIL
cial position, fully agreed with him; but
when the presidency came within his reaeh,
like all others who have ever had ITO de-
eide such an issue, he finally assumed that
it was his duty to accept, and II the presl-
dencv shall come within the reach of Ad-
miral Dewey. as is more than possible, he
won't be hindered or halted by his accom-
plished and level-headed wife.
Mrs. Dewey would be less than woman II
she would not be more than willing TO see
her husband crowned with the highest civil
trust of the world and to be herself mis-
tress of the white house. for which she is
so exceptionally fitted
Politicians who have been summarily dis

the stay of his flagship off the Point. The

ship dipped her colors, sailed away to re-
turn national hero, an admiral, and to be
