ation in It's annual session. The $100 prize, the only one offered in connection with the work of the federation, is offered by the school improvement committee to the County Improvement association, making the greatest achievement in the year.
 The following account of the papers that have been selected as the best. since this became feature of the work of the bu- reau of information is taken from the att tractive report of the convention, written by the federation editor, Mrs. W. H. Sey- mour of Montgomery. and published in the federation page, December 1. Mrs Seymour said:
 At the Troy convention in 1907 the paper awarded first place was The Moral Effect of George Eliots Novels This splendidly written and interpreted mes sage was by Mrs. Bashinsky of the Nine teenth. Century club of Troy, and was read at the convention in Montgomery in 19os At the latter convention the paper deal ing with Municipal Art. and the Inffu- ence of Beauty on Morals by Mrs. Bran- don Elliott, Culture club, Birmingham, was given first honor, and, in the absence of the able writer, was read by Mrs. L. J. Haley.
 "The best paper submitted during the year 1909 was that of Mrs. D. Y. Gra- ham of Tuscaloosa. Mrs. Graham's ex- haustive and able treatment of the sub ject Ideals of Goethe's Faust, stamped her work a masterpiece, but because of the great length of the paper the com mittee on selection recommended the reading of the second best work of the year. Honor again fell to the Culture club of Birmingham, and Tennyson's 'Oenone, by Mrs. L. D. Burr, was the choice for presentation to the convention at Birmingham. No pen of lesser merit than that of the author of the paper 'Oenone' could do justice to the beauty of style and diction of this, the second best paper of the year 1908.
 And again was decreed by an able committe, of which Mrs. J. G. Converse of Selma was chairman, that to the Gull ture club of Birmingham was due the laurel, and so the convention of 1911 will have for its edification and interest an- other contribution to the programme from this unusually gifted circle.'

OUT OF TOWN WEDDING
 OF LOCAL INTEREST


 The marriage of Miss Annie Steele Edgar and MT. August Edgar Flaspoller, Jr., which took place this week in New Orleans, is of interest in several Alabama cities. Miss Edgar has number of Bir- mingham relatives, who will read the fol- lowing account, which appeared in New Orleans daily, with interest:

 The ceremony was held at O clock, and long before that hour the church was filled with interested friends and rela- lives.
 The chancel, pulpit and lectern were and forming a succession of arches the length of the aisle were tall tree palms, beneath which the bridal party passed to the altar. MT. Flaspoller, attended by his best man, MT. Bernard F1aspoller, his brother, awaited at the altar.
 The ushers were Messrs. Augustin James Himel, Jr, Sidney F'laspoller, Carl Allen were Messrs. Albert r. Commagere, Markham Kostmayer. George Steele and Dr. Ashton Maxwell, the two latter cous- ins of the bride.
 The matron of honor was Mrs. Albert Francis Commagere, who was beautifully gowned in white cluney lace over white messaline, and she carried bride roses.
 The maid of honor was Miss Cornelia Edgar of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, cousins of the bride, all of whom wore dent at Newcomb Her gown was a lovely creation of pink messaline, yelled In pink chiffon, and her flowers were My Maryland roses in shower effect.
 The bridesmaids included Misses Ellen Tracey Steele, Mary Saunders of Shreve- port. La. and Mary Lyman Stone, cousins Of the bride, al lof whom wore pink chiffon gowns over pink satin, and carried pink carnations.
 The flower girl was little Miss Ernes- tine Bass, who wore a white lingerie frock over pink, and carried a basket of pink hyacinths.
 The bride, who was given to be mar ried by her uncle. MT. Thomas F. Steele. was radiantly lovely in her bridal robes Of white majestic satin, trimmed with duchess and rose point lace.
 The veil fell from a chaplet of orange blossoms in graceful lines to the hem of the train.
 The nuptial flowers were bride roses valley lilies and fern In shower. held with tulle.
 The bride was preceded to the altar by the members of the bridal party. the bridegrooms attendants leading. followed by the brides attendants. As they passed to the altar the march from "Lohengrin, was rendered.

an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when the strain is over her system has received shock from which it is hard to recover Follow ing right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than . happy and healthy mother of chil- dren, and indeed child birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist in going blindlyto the trial.
 It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty.
