| Perhaps no enterprise in Birmingham
| has been so universally commended as
| the endeavor on the Rart of the club
women of the city to celebrate May Day
| feae on Friday next for the benefit of the
Public Library.
The demands of the people of Greater
Birmingham for an adequate and we'll
equipped library are growing day by day,
and the eagerness with which the men,
woman and children of this city are bend
ing their efforts toward securing thSse
conditions is little short of public DEM
orstration of their views on the subject.
Mrs. e. G. Stevens was among the first
to promote the scheme of helping the
Public Library by giving a beautiful tea
az the Gold Lion tearoom on Washing
tons birthday, and others have followed
| at various times in this public senti-
ment.
| To Mrs. Edward H. Cabiness belongs
the credit and inspiration of the May Day
| celebration at East Lake next Friday.
The idea originated with her; it is the
product of her brilliant mind and YER
satile imagination, and at once appealed
to the club women of the city, who took
hold of the scheme at once. and the
successful elimination of which will be
seen on Friday next.
| Mrs. William Pittman Redd, chairman
! OF the advertising committee, in chatting
about the occasion yesterday, said:
I'VE owe Mrs. Cabiness a great debt of
gratitude for her originality and clever
ness in suggesting the May Day fete for
| the benefit of the Public Library, and the
appreciation of the scheme is shown in
| the way everybody has gone into it and
| is working to make it a success. You
see it was this way: The Cadmean circle
| has been so much interested In the Pub
| lie Library, and it was the desire of the
memb ers TO add materially to 1t. The
idea was suggested that every member of
| the circle should present a scheme where
| by we could make some money to buy
new books, and when they were all SUBJ
mitted Mrs. Cabiness' idea was so clever
| that 1t was at once chosen from among
| the many. 1t was then presented to the
other clubs of the city, all of which
unanimously adopted the suggestion. and
| everybody set to work on the project
"When did all this happen?' l asked.
about two months ago." replied Mrs.
Redd; land while we have been getting
our forces together and the Council of
Clubs has been at work on the scheme.
we have only put 1t before the public
| within the last week-at least, mean we
| have been actively advertising it and
working it up. OF course, there has been
| great deal OF preliminary work For
| instance as soon as Mrs. Cabiness' sug-
| gestion was adopted, we went to Mr.. r.
d. Burnett to arrange about the East
Lake park. and he was all kindness and

For the girl who has no love for fancy

more practical lines of endeavor. If
she is strong enough to use a type

day in copying manuscripts or other
papers. She cannot hope to compete
with the girl who is out in the world
