HIGH SCHOOL WON.
Defeated Bayley Grammar School at
Randolph Field Saturday


About two hundred persons wit
messed the foot ball game on Randolph
Field Saturday between the High
School and the Bayley Grammar
School, which was won by the former.
The High School got the ball over the
line for two touchdowns during the
first half, but missed kicking goal in
each instance. Score 10 to O.
By pretty run of % yards, three
minutes after the second half began,
J. Rutledge carried the ball over for
the Bayley's only touchdown. He
elso kicked goal. With this exception
there was no time in the game when
the victors goal was in danger. Bah
bits work at quarter was fast and
accurate while Cutler held his man at
centre in good style though he was
not nearly SO heavy as the Bayley
centre. Captain Wiss made several
pretty runs while run of 30 yards by
Owens was feature. For the defeated
team, the best work was done by J.
Rutledge.

Mr.. Raphael A. Weed, young New

acquired under Douglas Volk at the Art
Students League, in New York, but whose
art instinct was probably Inherited from
his grandfather, the la&e Charles w. Tice,

one of the best-known of American paint

work has attracted attention and called

Mrs. Rawlston will also exhibit examples

Autumn Opening of
The WOman's EXCHANGE

The Woman's Exchange will reopen
Thursday at 2j26 First avenue. As previous
ly announced, the exchange will introduce
cafe feature this season, and beginning
with Thursday, two meals-breakfast and
luncheon-will be served daily, except Sun
day. The breakfast hours will be from to
o'clock and the luncheon will be served
from u to o'clock. The meals will be
served a la carte, and the cafe will be
opened especially for the convenience of
the business women and working girls of
the city. The promoters of this feature ex-
pect, however, liberal patronage from the
business men and the women who are in
town for shopping purposes. A delicious
menu will be served not only promptly, but
at comparatively small cost The exchange
will, of course, continue its usual work in
the display of fancy, needleworl, art, etc.
Orders for cakes, breads of all kinds,
salads, mayonnaise, dressings, ETC., will re-
ceive prompt attention. The exchange is
now established on such a solid foundation
that the autumn opening will be in every
way suspicious. Recent contributions have
greatly augmented the amount in the treas
ury, and the outlook for the future is most
encouraging to the brave women who have
brought the exchange through its first
struggling year of existence. si'
Miss Jennie Walters will be in charge of
the sales department, and consignees are
requested to send articles for this de-
partment of Wednesday of this, week
There is great interest in the opening on
Thursday, and the corporation of the pub
lie should continue. The city seems to have
awakened to the need of a well-conducted
woman's exchange, and to realize that 1t
reaches the great number of gentlewomen
in a most practical way, enabling them by
busness-like methods to earn their own
livelihood in an honest and self-respecting
manner. The far-reaching Influences of a
womans exchange eannot be over-estimat-
ed. and Birmingham co6ld not support a
more important institution.
The rooms of the exchange will be deco

Notable Persons Who Will
Address the Woman's Congress

Among the distinguished persons who
will address the Woman's congress is Miss
crozier of Cincinnati and whom a number
of Birmingham women had the pleasure of
meeting during a recent visit of Miss
Crozier to the city. Miss Crozier's subject
will be, us There a Science of Society,""
Ward and Spencer
She will treat the subject from the points
of view of both Ward and Spencer as their
views are in some respects opposed. Miss
Crozier is pupil of Lester Ward, and she
is well qualified to speak upon the scientific
problems of the day, as her entire life has
been that of a scholar. She has plunged
deeper into scientific thought than probably
any club woman of today, and while nat
u-ally her ideas are advanced, still she
possesses the happy faculty of the success
full teacher and lecturer who does not
keep above the head of the pupil. Her per-
sonal magnetism and charming vivacity
arc alone of sufficient power to interest her
audiences.
Lester Ward as has been announced, will
also be one of the speakers. His subject
has not been given out, but he win speak
along the line of mis- scientific investiga-
lions.
Chancellor Kirkland, of Vanderbilt uni
versity, will speak on educational questions.
Miss Haas, of Dayton, o.. has accepted an
invitation to be present at the congress, and
will speak on the cooperative wage sys-
tenn.
Among the noted club women who will be
present will be Miss Mary Temple, of Knox
vile, Tenn, who is probably the most
widely known of southern women in club
circles of this country. She has been
identified with the national federation since
It's organization, and is a member of the
national board of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. She is woman OF
unlimited wealth. and is not only leader
in club work but is socially one of the
most brilliant of women. Miss Temple was
one of the most energetic workers in erect
ing the woman's building in Knoxville, and
she is SO thoroughly acquainted with the
economic side of club life, that 1t is upon
this subject that she will speak at the
congress.
Mrs. John Williams of Knoxville, will
also speak along economic lines. She has
for years been an indomitable worker in the
Woman's Educational and Industrial union
of Knoxville q society which has estab-
lished a great number of worthy institu-
tions.
The speakers for the congress have been
selected with reference to those most
identified with scientific, economic and edu-
cationa1 questions and the congress which
will open Sunday afternoon, November ~
will include a series of lectures upon the
most interesting problems of the day.

panel to be framed In dark wood showed
the figure of a girl in pink frock blowing
bubbles. The background is pink and the
coloring is exquisite. The cover of a small
tray for buttons showed the smiling face of
a little pickaninny framed in a white sun
bonnet.
Altogether Mrs. Rawlstons exhibit is a
revelation in the possibilities of china
painting. There has probably never been
seen in the south finer examples of decora-
tive art, and the most Indifferent person
on the subject of art could not spend a
morning in this studio and remain uncon-
WINGED of the wonderful results of a mastec
hand in the world of decorative art. Mrs.
Rawlston is naturally an enthusiast in re-
gard to her work, which has received such
favorable comment in the large studios of
the west. She is a member of the Chicago
Ceremic association and it was largely
through the influence of this association
that a display of china was made at the
exhibit last May at the art institute in
Chicago With the proper recognition now
which has crowned the efforts of the stu
dents of china decoration there is naturally
a great awakening throughout the country
in regard to this especial work, and china
painting. no longer a fad of the day. pop
uar method of hurredly filling ones cabi-
net with lot of ''hand-painted" china, is
destined to fill a great niche in the world
of painting, which has hitherto been unoc-
cupied.
Mrs. Rawlston expresses the opinion that
America must necessarily establish school

Birmingham New Era
To Issue Fair Number

The Birmingham New Era will issue an
attractive number which will be known as
the fair edition, the sales from which will
be generously given by the editor to the
fund for the Alabama Woman's Building
association. The club women of the city
and state will be greatly interested in the
forthcoming issue and especially the pro-
motors of the woman's building will learn
with pleasure that the profits from
this special number of the New Era will
go to a fund for which the public-spirited
citizens of Birmingham are working with
great enthusiasm. The fair edition will be
on sale at the headquarters at the fair OF
the Alabama Woman's Building assocla-
ton. The New Era has recently adopted
the popular folio form owing to the re-
quest of the clubs and organizations in the
state of which it is the official organ. The
fair number will contain interesting
sketches of the clubs, and the news
of cubland, together with many attractive
features of interest to the reading world.

furniture, picture frames, the covers OF
books, ETC."
The owner of a country house in this
country has had the Legend of Sleepy Hol-
low" done in typography on the woodwork
of fireplace, the rich sepia tints Lending
themselves beautifully to the poetic work.
1t will be recalled that among the many
gifts received by Admiral Dewey since his
return from Manila was a fine example OF
typography which was presented to him by
Mayor Van Wyck of New York city on be-
half of the New York commerce commas
sion. In view of the examples which MIS-.
Rawlston is exhibiting the following de-
scription of Admiral Dewey's specimen Will
be of interest:
The etching is done on prepared Wood
VII h not pointed irons. The entire work Is
done in this manner without the introduce
ton of any coloring matter, and the vary
ing degrees of the ircns used give NaIl-
ETY. of beautiful tones ranging from the
deep yellow of old ivory to rich brown
black One of the chief beauties of the
work is found in the picturesque inequall-
ties of the surface OF the wood burned over,
there being but slight hldentures i'm some
places, while in others the deeply burned
lines aceentuate parts of the composition
and give the effect of modelling. In some
countries of the Old World fire-etching is
quite extensively used in architectural en-
Enlistment, and this is really its only iegit-
innate field.
Admiral Dewey's present is a beautiful
specimen of this topographic art in the
form of a decorative tablet, and one which
commentaries his famous victory over the
Spa nish fleet in Manila Bay. The tablet Is
about four feet square, the design repre-
