children in like desperate conditions to give, not in charity. but because love constraineth us.
 A few moments since, we stood here with bowed heads and uplifted hearts to hear the invocation for Gods bles- sing. We have felt the power and beau ty of that appeal. and our hearts have been touched anew with the spirit of love, that nexus that binds us each to each and each to all. Latter day philo- sophers speak much about the solidarity of the race-a fine word, though born in French communism, meaning a union of interests and responsibilities, a communi- ty, in loss and gain, even in honor and dishonor Religion In the twentieth cen tury of ours, has set to her seal, not only that God Is true, but that He is the Father of all men; that rich and poor, diseased and strong, the guilty and the good, are alike his children, and we are all brethren.
 We pray our Father to protect his suf- fering and needy children, and this is right, but as we are sparks of that Eter- nal energy from which all things proceed, we know that the best prayer. the most efficacious that we can offer Is that of consecrated effort; consecrated anew in each hour of that communion, when spir twith spirit doth meet"

 No longer blind and dumb.
 A human being-of an unknown splendor Is she who is to come!" Her coming Is delayed awhile, but your coming heralds, her approach. and we are here now to welcome the dear brave, and faithful women of the Alabama Federation. It Is well for us that you have come. What joy in the personal touch, the warm hand clasp, the inter- change of friendly speech. 1t is well for you that you have come, to feel like pleas ure, know a kindred joy. It is well for all, that the Federation has come, rep resenting club women twelve hundred strong filled with lofty aims and noble purposes for the good of the State.
 Welcome, welcome, welcome to the warm hearths and warmer hearts of Montgomery.
 MT. Kohn's Address of Welcome.
 
 Next on the program was the Mayors address. In his absence MT. John Kohn, one of the city's Aldermen, addressed the Federation as follows:
 Madam President, and Ladies of the Federation of Womens' Clubs: This is inded an honor which delights me. As the representative of the Mayor of the city of Montgomery I bid you welcome a glad and heartfelt welcome to our be- loved capital-welcome to our homes and to our hearts. May your visit be frought with pleasure and fruitful of re- suits. As the representative of those charged with the welfare of my native city l greet you as the representative of large body of the womanhood of our State. l greet you as women of senti- ment and ideals-as women of thoughts and purpose. I greet you as women whose hearts are throbbing with generous impulses towards society. greet you as women who have learned that the acme of true worldly glory is reached In so living that the world Is happier and bet

ton of the grandeur of your enterprise that I again bid you welcome, and sur render to you the keys of the gates of
 the city of Montgomery and beg you to take possession.
 Miss Nomia Carter next sang Spring" By Georg Henschel. In response to hearty encore she sang Songs My Mother Taught Me-" by Dzorak, after which Mrs. James L. McConaughy of Montevallo de- livered the response to Mrs. Goodwyn's s | address of welcome. She said:
 Mrs. McConaughy's Response. Madam President and Friends:
 When the message came to me asking me that I deliver response to the ad- dress of welcome I thought on it with pleasure. Montgomery was so famed for its hospitality, surely there would be much to say, and out of the abundance of the heart one can usually speak But standing in your midst this evening, in this brilliant scene. in these Halls of Fame, having personally experienced the beauty and richness of welcome such as Montgomery alone can give. alas! like poor Cordelia, I find my hearts more fuller than my tongue"
 The nature of this response has occur red to me. I know what a social re- sponse is-it Is a reply to an invitation. know a political response Is a rejoinder
 to some argument on the affairs of our nation. A religious response I know Is reply to some ones confession of faith. Too well I know a domestic response
 that Is an emphatic reply to your wife. But what Is the club woman's response? ?
 It cannot be that you would ask any reply
 to what the fair speaker before me has
 said, If so I am inadequate. What she
 said was complete. nothing can add
 But may this response, Madam Pres-
 dent. not be a reply to all that has been
 said about club women pro and con? l First, who are the club women? We
 have not sprung up like Rhoderick Dhu's
 army at mere blast of a bugle horn
 neither do we desire to be considered by
 our dear friends of the Legislature a

rience, too, it makes home more attrac- tive. club woman naturally has more | pride in her household affairs than the stay-at-home woman. You, perhaps | hear less about the way the steak is cooked and the baby is dressed, but these affairs go on wiser and better than be- fore q remember the prettiest cap my baby ever had was made after the style of club woman's baby who came to the Federation with her mother) The
 natural woman and mother does these
 things without comment and without
 show. And, indeed, it has never been , written that a good beefsteak composed l the Had, or that a cheese omelet was back of the Declaration of Independence; and you as men would not have 1t so. Woman should be taught along lines that
 will make her a "help mate" the partner
 and companion that God intended her to
 be. Man has ceased to look upon her
 as mere toy. Gibbon tells us in the
 decline of the Roman Empire that "the sex created to please and to fascinate
 was never supposed to attain the age of
 reason" No wonder there were degen-
 crates in those days. Where women
 were held in such low esteem it is not
 strange that manhood and patriotism
 died away and the empire crumbled to
 pieces. Woman was created to please
 and fascinate, and every woman should
 be as beautiful as possible, particularly
 at home. in the parlor. kitchen or nurs-
 cry; but the woman who has no higher ambition than to please and fascinate is
 wholly ignorant of that higher spiritual life which should be the aim of every
 good woman. Nor can the woman who has never known the sweets of this high CT spiritual life hope to build in the heart of any good man the monument which Atala built in the heart of Chac- tas. 'the humble tomb of virtue"
 So much for what we are. Now what have we done? Numerous little hamlets in our State ring out the reply. The clubs have been the means of restricting gossip and promoting intellectuality. In our towns and cities stand numerous li- braries. the work of our women. The
 first scholarship work of which I know in the State was begun by our club wo- men. This work is now permeating oth- CT organizations than ours Our bov's industrial farm owes its life to a club woman. Out in the rural districts of our State have gone numerous bundles of books sent there by the hands of our club women. Whenever I hear Of A beau
 tiful deed of love. a gentle act of mercy. a sweet gift of charity ask myself was it not a club woman? So much for the work Of the modern woman. I do not like to call her the modern woman; to me she Is the chrystalization woman; for

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT When It Is Free of DandruR. It
 Grows Luxuriantly.

Hair preparations and dandruff cures. as a rule. are sticky or irritating affairs that do no earthly good. Hair, when not diseased, grows naturally luxuriantly Dandruff is the cause of nine-tenths of all hair trouble, and dandruff is caused by a germ. The only way to cure dan drufr is to kill the germ; and. so far, the only hair preparation that will positively destroy the germ is Newbros Herpicide- absolutely harmless. free from grease, sedin ent, dye matter or dangerous drugs It allays itching instantly; makes hair glossy and soft as silk.
