The same plan is to be followed the following summer with addi- tional roles. During these periods of study the opera company will pay all of the young singers expenses.
 In connection with Miss Bridewelfs re- cent debut in New York, the following pretty little story is clipped from an eA- change:
 Carrie Bridewell, the young American contralto who made her debut the other night in 'The Magic Flute had ample evidence of the good will of the famous ,rima donnas in the company She was enabled to sing at the opera house through the interest taken in her by Mime. Sem brich, who heard her at the Maine festival, believed that she had unusual talent and persuaded MT Grau to engage her for the part left vacant by Mme Schumann- Heinl1s retirement. Miss Bridewell was naturally nervous and the distinguished women in the company wanted to do everything possible to make her comfort able. She was. of course not in the habit of making up for the stage. Mime. Sem brich, to whom she came first, eyed her critically and decided that she needed little white powder on one side of the face, and taking the puff applied it to her satiS- faction. Mime. Flames next saw the young contralto and eyed her from head to foot. q think you need a little red on that check" said Mme Flames, as she reached for the rouge and applied 1t in the spot she considered it necessary It was before Mme Ternina that Miss Brdewell came finally. Again she was subjected to the same searching examination. Mime. Terni- ma decided that her eyebrows were not heavy enough. and picking up a blue pen cil added few stroken. When Miss Bride we'll finally came before the public she had received the advice of three famous prima donnas to the way she should make up Very few younw women ever had as many fairy godmothers at an opening

and in poetry she preferred Scotch ballads, as she does today. She is especially fond of English dramatstS. The JohnstohS have spent many summers on Cobbs Island, off the southeastern shore ot Nir- ginia, and during the season there MISS Johnston could be seen every day in her sail-boat Her figure, slender, nauticaiy clad. with yachting cap On her brown hair made d chamng picture sihouetd against the sky She loves the ocean pas sionately and knows how to express It's moods.

By the holidays this magazine had so increased its sales by req son of the stiry, that the editors sent her a check for Sl,000 as Christmas present.

Series of Notable Receptions
 Arranged for ihe Federation

That the forthcoming meeting of the
 state federation will be the most brilliant
 from every point of view of any preceding
 convention is already assured. Birming-
 nam women are preparing to welcome the
 visiting women with characteristic hospi-
 tality and while they are in the city everything will be done for their pleasure and comfort. The delegates will be well comed upon their arrival by the reception committee who will direct them to their re- spective homes The officers, the delegates and invited speakers will be entertained in private homes and in addition to this notable aggregation of women there will be number of other distinguished guests during the convention.
 The programme for the business sessions will be published in few days. Tmis is matter that is always subject to minor changes, and the publication of the entire programme is withheld as late as possible.
 The details of the series of entertainments
 that will be given in honor of the visiting
 women have been completed and the
 events will be particularly notable. On
 the afternoon of Wednesday, May 2 the
 Birmingham Womans club will give a re-
 ception from to 7:30 o'clock at which the visiting club women will be the guests of honor. Wednesday evening will be marked by a musicale under the direction of MT. Guckenberger, while on Thursday afternoon the members of the Country club have placed their elegant club house at the disposal of Birmingham club women and their guests The s1tond afternoon
 of the convention will therefore be given over to driving parties and the reception and luncheon at the Country club. This will be a distinctly charming affair, and as the reception will continue until late in the evening. it will be in the nature of
 beautiful garden party. The party will leave the club in time to reach the city for the nights session of the convention and will go at once to the convention hall.
 The reception to be given on Friday even- | ing at the residence of Mrs. Robert IT. | Pearson will be fitting close to the series of brilliant functions, which will include l In addition to those mentioned, a number of smaller affairs in the way of dinners and luncheons. Indeed all other thoughts

bama women are just now dimming by contrast the names of other well-known writers of history and romance. The news papers of the country are still deyotinS columns to the reviews of Miss Johnston's ITO Have and To Hold and to Miss Her. berts "The First American; His Homes and His Households" while an American magazine with the largest circulation in the world recently reproduced by permission of Miss Weedens publishers number of her "Bandanna Ballads" illustrated with her drawings. That this request came from one of the leading magazines in the county, and in view of the enormous sales of Miss Weeden's Ballads, was an evidence of her permanent hold upon the reading world a power that the editors of literary journals are not slow to recognize or to avail themselves of it's advantages. Both the ballads and the drawings teach with
