and postpone the meeting of that body until week later. 1t would be to the | Montgomery women only a matter of the deferred pleasure of being hos tesses to their State club women, and 1t would be only proper and graci- ous concession for them to make to that larger and equally important body of patriotic women who are to meet in Atlanta.
 Mrs. w. A. Gayle. President of the Alabama Federation of Women has re- ceived number of petitions from | those high In the affairs of the Gem eral U. D. C., to postpone the meeting set to be held in Montgomery on November 10. and 1t Is to be hoped that wherever the authority lies to change the date 1t will be deemed the wise proper and courteous thing to do that the club women of the state who are also workers in the U. D. c. lines will be able to attend. Those who will be hostesses at the meeting of club women in Montgomery are loyal members of the United Daughters of the Con- federacy and that body should not be deprived of their presence and influ- ence at the meeting to be held in At- lanta.
 CLUB WOMEN AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND ECONOMY. So far not much has been given out as to the measures that will claim the attention of the Alabama Federation i Of Women's Clubs at the coming con vention but from conversation held with Mrs. Gayle since her return from the convention held in Boston 1t may be safely said that Domestic Science VIII play an important part She spoke of the report made by the chair | man of the Domestic Science Commit tee at the meeting in Boston, of it's excellency and of the impression 1t made on the members of the conven- | tfon. That report was written under three heads and as the chairman saw | the matter domestic work should be 'simplified. classified, joliified and gIorified"
 So 1t may be expected that, through | the Influence of the club women of Alabama who have accomplished SO much for the home and the children of | the state the fathers may be forcsd to look into the subject of the teaching or domestic science in the public The time has come when the brain lest men and women of the country are beginning to regard the efficient the declining of a latin verb. The leaven Is working. and sentiment is rising high on the subject of the rela- tive value of education on domestic AAHCS anu OH OlISTS WnlCn nave been until recently regarded as all impor- tant
 Political economy and domestic economy will fight for precedence The former is a masculine problem, and the latter a feminine one The time has come when the education of the hands and the brain must go hand in hand or one or the other will fall Tar short of the mark of perfection
 The lady of today is not she who can only pat her dainty foot im- patiently on the Turkish rug" The world is beginning to prefer the one who in an emergency can drive a nall, plant garden. cook a meal, or make a bed properly. and when not necessary Tor her to take hand, can see that 1t Is done correctly, and with most economy of time and labor.
 We may look for great things in the line of domestic economy when the cluo women of the state take hold of the matter with all their might. The movement will follow in line of march with the accomplished work for the children Of the State, the, child crimi- nal Of the state, the libraries of the State. the civic Improvement of the cities of the State, the perpetuation of ne memory of the great dead of the state and many others of equal moment.
