 MRS. WILSON OF ATLANTA HERE.
 A prominent woman who is visitor in Montgomery now is Mrs. A. McD. Wilson of Atlanta. who has been at- tending the convention of the Gulf State Y. w c. A. held in Birmingham on last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Wilson is chairman of the Gulf State Committee of Young Woman's Christian Associations and is woman of high position in several of the most important and influential organizations in Georgia. She has just ended her term as regent of the Atlanta Chapter, D. A. R. and has recently been elected historian of the D. A. R. for Georgia She is chairman of the Committee on Child Labor of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs. At one time Mrs Wilson was member of fourteen or- ganizations and held office in ten of them.
 Being an. enthusiastic member of the Daughters of the Confederacy Mrs Wilson says she has always been very much interested in Montgomery as the Cradle of the Confederacy, though this Is her first visit here. She is the guest of Mir. and Mrs. J. W. Black and came to Montgomery at their invitation to be present at the opening reception and dedication of the Young Woman's Cbristion Association home, which was held last evening, With her broad in 
 yond all chiefly engrossed in her work in this line and having been for eight years at the head of 1t in the States of Alabama. Georgia, Mississippi and Florida, her heart, hands and brain are fully occupied.

 "why, yeu people of Montgomery do not seem to half realize the magnitude of the work these women have brought to so glorious a completion. So much has been accomplished by only one other city and that Is Elgin, III. If Atlanta had so much to be proud of we would herald it to the world and would in- sist on receiving from 1t the praise and congratulation due for such achieve ment. Think of 1t, John Wanamaker has sent them gift of complete equipment for their domestic science department. We Atlanta people would be so proud of that that we would shout for very joy and you modist, quiet Montgomerians take 1t and all your splendid women have done in so short time as a matter of course"
 In speaking of the gigantic scope of the Y. w. c. A. work in which her heart and soul is interested Mrs. Wilson said:
 'I regret that every one does not know the broad scope of the work done by the Y. W. c. A, by the World Com mittee, the American Committee, the States Committees and the College Asso- citations and the City Associations. It is something that will appeal to the in- terests of all women. It takes care of every need of every women, be her place In life what 1t may. For the so- ciety girl there is the swimming pool, the gymnasium, the tennis court, and basket ball; for the woman so inclined there Is the Domestic Science Depart ment; for the working girl who wishes between to improve her grammar, her
