COMING
THREE BIC MEN SECURED FOR
 CONVENTION.
Sunday school Meeting at Birminghsp, in April Promises to Be Very Successful and Very
 Heipful Affair.

The Program Committee of the Ala hama Sunday School Association for the State Convention to be held at Bir- mineham. April 9-11, are being con- gratulated by the Sunday School work CTS of Alabama upon their good for tune in securing three well known Sunday School specialists of national reputation to attend the State con- vention. The plan of this convention is somewhat different from any that has ever been held. It Is to be made an educational meeting. The specialists will be used freely.
 w c, Pearce of Chicago is the teach CT training superintendent and super intendent of the adult department of the international Sunday School Asso- citation. In other words he has general supervision of this branch of work for North and South America. Mr. Pearce has had large experience and this Is the first time he has ever attended the Alabama State Convention.
 Professor l.. P. Leavell of Oxford Miss, is one of the field secretaries Of the Southern Baptist Convention. Pros lessor Leavell is splendid speaker and is we'll known throughout the Uni ted States. He has held meetings in different parts of the State of Alabama and is well known to workers here, but comes for the first time to the State covention
 Rev. A. l.. Phillips. D. D., of Rich- mond, Va, General superintendent of Sunday School work for the Southern Presbyterian church. is also man or national reputation. Dr. Phillips had been pastor of some of the best Pres byterian churches before he was called 10 the work as General Superintendent of sunday Schools. Sunday School work has grown and developed wonder fully under his supervision. Dr. Phil- lips Is we'll known Tn Alabama.
 Another feature of the convention which appeals to great many people is the chorus which will be under the direction of Professor Alsorp, well known musical director. Professor Al sorp is native of Wales and has been in America only q few years. He con ducled a chorus before the Prince of Wales, who gave him handsome ba- ton In recognition of his services.
 This chorus will consist of 15o voices selected from the leading singers of the various Sunday Schools in the city of Birmingham and the suburban towns. This will be a very attractive feature.

 DAHD OF BEAUTY.
 The following from an exchange. is interesting as a beauty's standard or beauty:
 There are lots of pretty women, but their numbers soon become very limi- ted when we measure them In accor- dance with the stanaard set up by Lily Langtry. The necessary requirements which must be possessed by the women who wish to be called really beauti- full. according to this English beauty. are these:
 "A beautiful woman, first of ali must have clearly-cut, regular features She must have skin above reproach, untouched by rouge or powder. She must have full clear eyes, with the eye ashes ong and curling upward. Her eyebrows must be finely marked. slight ly arehed, long and narrow. yet the narrow line should be thickly covered, so as to be well marked. as if pencili- ed.
 She must have a straight nose, yet delicate. neither fieshy nor pointed nor broad at the tip, with the nostrils free and flexible, and her mouth must be rather too large than too small, with lips full and plump and rosy red. Even an exquisitely shaped mouth has no charm without expression. Her regu- lar teeth. of moderate size pearly white with full enamel, should show when she is smiling. She must have a chin neither sharp nor blunt. but gently un- dulatinE in it's line. round and cush- iony. turning little upward, with dimple in it. All this must be sup- ported by a round throat. full and pillar-like.
 "She must have glossy hair that has never known the touch of bleach or dye. and she must fully understand what suits her best in the way of hair dressing and cling closely to that style. She must have small delicate, compact ears of shell-like shape. She must have a forehead smooth, even, white. delicate. short, and of an open. truthful character"

IN SOCIETY
ANrryrTrye eaREEp FOR GIRLS.
By Mrs. J. M. deCottes.

AN INVITING GREER FOR GIRLS. The following from an exchange, points out an attractive calling open to young women. It also calls to mlnd the fact that there are now only eight trades or kinds of business that nave not been invaded by progressive wc- man:
 ssThe American woman is known the world over as thrifty individual, and from reports issued by the United States Census Bureau. it is learned that one out of every sixteen American women works for her own living. what is more important still is that there re- mains only eight trades or kinds or business in which woman's hand mas not as yet been busily engaged
 aAs is known by every girl who IS confronted with the question of how to make her living, 1t Is not an easy matter to choose the proper line to follow, Physical culture instructress is one or the occupations which has many ad- vantages in store for the present-day girl.
 Healthy. bright girls. looking out for a profession, have lucrative ana interesting one open to them In the teaching of phy sical culture. Ihose who wish to take up this career should be of good physique and constitution not below average height and not younger than seventeen years. They should possess good general educa- ton. It is an advantage-andi in some cases necessary--to be the holder of degree from one of the recognized girl colleges.
 Tt Is mistake to think that physi- cal culture can only be used by the strong. for special remedial exercises
 In, hnfh medical and surgical cases. They are frequently recommended by we'll known doctors for various forms of paralysis. rheu- matfsn, heart disease. neurasthenla sprains, fractures, and spinal curvature. Of course, it should be distinctly un- derstood that the weakly or delicate person should never follow the same course as the healthy one, but all exer- cises should be individually Fprescrib1 ed
 Any system which has not for it's basis physiological and anatomical principles is entirely valueless. and in many cases injurious. It will thus be seen that a really expert teacher IS a highly educated person with an tnti- mate and thorough knowledge on the theoretical side, of anatomy, of physio- logy, hygiene, first aid and the theory of education; on the practical side a knowledge of at least two systems Of training. remedial exercises, outdoor games, dancing, fencing, swimming and voice production
 ."The usual length of training is from two to three years. and the fees vary considerably with the school chosen.
 '"The two systems of training in most general use are German and the Swed- ish. It is usual to learn both. as the one supplements the other. The Ger-
