When Pretty Girls Prop Themselves Up With Pillows the
 Window Seats and Read Favorite Authors

70 MUCH has been written of the practical features of the Young o Women's Christian association, that it's social side is not as fully appreciated as it should be. Particularly does this refer to the rest and reading rooms which are located in the Watts building. ad- joining the cafe.
 In arrangements and attractiveness it is really modern clubhouse for women. It seems strange that larger number of Birmingham women have not appreci- ated the comforts provided at these club rooms.
 Besides large and home-like rest room. with every convenience of the boudoir. there is an attractive reading room. It is spacious, we'll lighted and has an in- definable charm. the lived on' air, that is so desirable in even the greatest houses. I remember that an American girl who visited Blenheim told me that she was most impressed with the lived on'' air of the Duchess of Marlborough's private apartments
 The other afternoon in this reading room tHeTe WAS llle pitltitst SSShc AiioS- inable. It was one of those dreadful days when the down town streets were flooded, when the wind blew the rain in great blinding sheets against the window panes.

 There were fresh narcissus in the vases. and the whole room was utterly charming, girl-like, inviting.
 In the luncheon rooms everything was in readiness, like a well ordered home. Back in the kitchen everything had re- ceived its last touch for the day.
 Tt is just like a charming little club house." said a woman who sat down to desk to write some letters
 The clubhouse, by the way has recently been redecorated. Its walls have been hung with pretty papers, its wood work done over in white. The effect is charm ing, restful, fragrant, almost chintzy looking.
 And after awhile there will be an after noon tea up there, and the social side of the club will then be more appreciated.
