The social functions to be given in honor of the visiting women will be notably bril- liant. The entertainment committee, of which Mrs John w. Tomlinson is chair man. has arranged a number of beautiful affairs that will bring together the repre- sentative assembly of Alabama women That the women who are foremost in the club movement in the state are also bril- liant leaders in society will make the oe- casions notable gatherings in the social life of Birmingham. Mrs. Tomlinson whose recognized ability as charming social leader has made her famous among the beautiful women of the south. has so ire quently been called upon to do the social honors on state occasions in Birmingham that when the plans for entertaining the club women were first being discussed Mrs. Tomlinson was asked to assume the chairmanship of the entertainment com mittee.
 The first reception in honor of the visit ing women will be given Wednesday after noon from to o'clock, by the Womans s club. Invitations to this event have been issued to the clubs in the city and their guests.

 The fact that the Treble Clef club is composed exclusively of women, and that the musical composition to be presented is the work of Mrs. H. H. A.

Calman, the gifted violinist, will lead a string quartette.
 Thursday afternoon the members of the Country club have placed their elegant club rooms at the disposal of Birmingham club women and their guests.
