The meeting of the council of Women s clubs, held yesterday morning at Cable hall was of more than passing moment. Representatives from all of the feder- ated clubs were in attendance and entered into the business of the occasion with great enthusiasm. The reciprocity meet ing to be held during the federation in November was touched upon and mo- tion was introduced by Mrs. J. |. Harde- man of the Fenelon to make the topic of the day the "Conservation of Natural Resources" It was decided to ask each club to present a paper on some branch of this subject.
 It was also proposed to secure the services of a lecturer to address the clubs some time during the spring, but this was deemed inadvisable and the club proceed topic of the day. Mrs. Richard Fell of the Culture club presided in the place of Mrs. c. P. Orr of the Cadmean, who is absent from the city.
 Mrs. E. H. Cabaniss proposed the plan which the representatives of the various clubs received with such evident interest May Day, under the auspices of club women of Birmingham to be given at East Lake for tte benefit of the public library. She has communicated with Mr A. H, Ford of tie Birmingham Railway Light and Power company, and MT Bur nett, both of whom were liberal in the offer which they authorized her to make Eri1au in May x.-bia he Iad deem best, the proceeds from all amuse- ments at East Lake park will be turned over to them. This includes practically everything at the park, and in addition the ladies propose to serve a barbecue dinner. As Mrs. Cabaniss discussed her plan her usual enthusiasm was conta- glous, and every woman in the council ex- pressed herself ready to give her coop eration The several clubs will report, after Fridays meeting, but it is expected that there will be no opposition.
 The appointment of Mrs. E. H. Caba- miss as general chairman for library day Is considered a wise one, and it is ex- pected that under her able management this venture will surpass any previous one in behalf of the library. Mrs. Ca banss requested the appointment of a committee of three members from each club to assist her. This, she stated, would be very large committee, but for the work undertaken strong body will be necessary
 The cooperation of the schools will be asked and that of the merchants as well. With the assistance of the people at large the day under the management of the cleverest body of women in Birming- ham will undoubtedly prove a brilliant success. The exact date has not been fixed but it is thought Friday, May 20, will be ultimately decided upon.

 Mrs. Coleman Ward, whose visits to Birmingham are always marked by a series of delightful Inequalities, was the honoree yesterday at o'clock tea, given by her sister, Mrs. Felix Blackburn.
