Beautiful Card Party.

Mrs. Ambrose and Miss Ambrose of Louisville were the guests at a beautiful card party at which Mrs. George Cobb entertained Saturday afternoon, the oc- caslon assembling forty guests. The de- tails and the decorations were appropriate to St. Valentines day, and the house was a bower of fragrant blossoms.
 The score was kept by attaching minia- ture red hearts to the cards, which were ornamented with lovely valentines.
 In the details of the elegant luncheon the heart idea was artistically carried out, the bonbons being served in silver dishes, heart-shaped, and every detail suggested the pretty and artistic idea made possible by dear St. Valentine.
 Mrs. Elliott of Cordova won the first prize, a water color of Spanish beauty. Mrs. Harry Matthews won the lone-hand prlze a white lace fan, and Miss Davis drew the consolation, a silver belt buckle.
 Mrs. Ambrose wore a smart gown of | blue and white, and Miss Ambrose wore an imported gown of blue, and drove away with her arms literally filled with pink carnations, presented by the charm ing hostess.

ALA. WOMEN INTERESTED
 IN ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION

N VIEW of what the women of Ala
 bama have accomplished in securing appropriations for educational insti- tutions, 1t has been suggested that they apply their astute and brilliant minds to the passage Of tne bill asking Tor an ap- propriation that win enable Alabama 10 be represented at the international expo stlon, which will be held in St Louis.
 l have been requested-a request which does me much honor-to enlist the Inter- est of the women of the state in the matter of an appropriation for a purpose commensurate with the prominent part Alabama has always taken in the de- velopment of the south.
 The St. Louis exposition nas been de- signed on larger scale than any preced- ing exposition in the worlds history. More money is to be expended In Its de- velopment and In it's extent and variety of interests it will eclipse all similar un- dertabings.
 Congress has appropriated $5.O00O0O and the city of St. Louis has appropriated $1O OOO GOO to the undertaking.
 The Missouri legislature, at it's last ses- sion, made an appropriation of S1.OOO00O for its building and exhibit The Illinois commission is now in the field, backed with an appropriation of s250, GOO with A probability of this amount being doubled at the next session.
 In Iowa a bill appropriating s125OOO was passed by the legislature. New York has made an appropriation of $luO,O0O and Mississippi has provided s5O,oOo. the first appropriation this state has ever made for exposition purposes
 The promoters of the exposition are men in the very forefront of the commer- cal world, men who represent solidity as well as enterprise and intelligence. They have inspired not only the national con- gress in their magnificent undertaking, but the individual states that are stamp ing their approval by liberal appropria- tions emphasizes that behind the move ment are men of financial strength and | brains.
 In making an adequate appropriation for the Alabama exhibit, the legislature will take a step that is in line with the pro- gressive states that have given literally to this enterprise. and 1t can be safely said that the public spirited women of Alabama are deeply interested In all that concerns the progress and material ad- vancement of the state. As a matter of state pride, every woman desires to see Alabama well represented at the inter- national exposition, an event that shall httingly celebrate the centennial anniver- sary of the first expansion of the nation. If for no reason other than senti- ment the progressive women of the state would desire Alabama to do her part in aiding this great enterprise
 Laying sentiment aside. and consider ing the proposition from a business point of view, only increases the importance of liberal appropriation.
 From interviews with several of Ala bamas leading women, it is evident that they are willing to do everything in their power to pave the way to an adequate appropriation that Alabama will not only be well represented, but that her exhibit will not be second to any other state.
