Woman's Club Issues Directory

The Year Book of the Birmingham sued. It is an attractive little pamphlet, bound in red and black, and contains directory of the members, the lists of all committees the officers, the directors Of departments, an outline of the work of each department and the complete club calendar. The constitution and bylaws of the club are included in the Year Book, which also contains all the feat ures that usually go in club calendars.
 Mrs. F. A. Dille is chairman of the Year Book committee Mrs. N. Barnes Morgan is also member of this com nittee, and to them the club is indebt- Dd for a most complete and convenient dub directory.
 The club Is experiencing its most sue sessful year. The papers for its incor- poration are now being prepared by Judge !. J. Banks, the clubs attorney. AS soon IS they are filed the club will be placed apon a business foundation. The secret of the flourishing condition of the club lies to a great extent to the splendid financial ptate of affairs. The administration of Mrs. Zac Smith will go down in the clubs history as being one marked by constant attention to the financial side, and as the success of any administration depends upon the amount in the treasury and the absence Of debt, the present suc- cess of the club Is no exception to this rule.
 But from the first year of its organiza-
 
 Mrs. Robert H. Pearson, that brilliant and capable leader, brought 1t through its first struggling year of existence she made the question of her succession serious one, for the club was just at the stage when 1t required a leader as able and as fully in sympathy with Its de- velopment as Mrs Pearson had shown during her notable successful administra- ton.
 The interest and enthusiasm that has characterized Mrs. Smiths work has held the club together and has given 1t now permanent place in the affairs of Birm- ingham. To extend its influence and ca pacity for more helpful work the club Is anxious to greatly increase its mem bership The officers most cordially in- vite and urge the women of the city and vicinity to join the club, for all women are certainly in sympathy with its ob- ject "to strengthen individual effort by organization and to promote such meas ures as will conduce to the best and highest interests of the community"
 There are hundreds of Birmingham women who should belong to the Wom ans Club and many of whom frequently express their wish to join. They delay doing so without any specific reason whatever, and upon some notable occa- sion at the club they are heard to ex- press the regret that they have not joined. The time has come when the club can steadily go forward, and all women interested in it's progress, in the welfare of Birmingham, in contributing to its ad- vancement and promoting the agencies organized for it's best interests should lily themselves with an aggregation of women whose influence Is recognized in both the municipal affairs of Birming ham and the affairs of state.
 The club rooms are looking very at tractive these winter days. A number of the most prominent business firms in the city have hanging attractive posters on the walls and the club members are ask cd to return favors by patronizing those firms
 Following the open meetings on Satur- days the club women gather in the tea room where from attractively ap- pointed table. tea and waters are served. The club tea is a charming feature, and there is no prettier scene of the season than the group of attractive women who make picturesque the red room of the club at its famous Saturdays.
