THE RETREAT

Hannibal, one Of the worlds great
generals. won battles and fame by
mastery retreats. Cora saw that the
crucial battle of her life was directly
before her and that this time the good
fight lay in retreat.
Her longing to get away from Col
ony Park for a time grew stronger.
The. only obstacle was Wanda. She
couldn't leave Wanda, her guest She
would have to wait until Wanda's
visit was ended.
An unexpected circumstance, how
ever, came to Cora's aid. Colony
Park was to have a. pageant celebrat-
ing the triumph of coal and iron.
The Colony Park people had grown
rich on these products of nature, and
politely itched to make a sort of ac-
acknowledgement.
Wanda Laurence, at Colony Parks
urgent request was to coach the ac-
tors while David Temple designed set
tings and scenery. The two were now
inevitably together early and late on
the preparation of the entertainment.
No man and woman ever worked so
well and so hard together as they, it
seemed. They appeared to have for
gotten everything in the world ~

To be near the scene of the spec
tacle, Wanda took up her quarters at

much time there. The original attrac-
ton which had drawn Wanda and
David together years before now flow

they worked together on their project.

WELCOME TO CLUB
WOMEN OF ALABAMA
Nv MRS. ]. b. REID

The brains and beauty of the state are
gracing Birmingham today with their
presence.
The Alabama Federation of Women's
clubs is composed of membership of
mothers and daughters who represent
power in the progress of home and So
ciety This annual convention is an event
that effects every section Of the state
It's delegates are leaders in local CLUB
affairs. and they are in touch with their
own condition, social. educational, even
political. They each bring a message
from their home club, which creates
general interest among the delegates.
This is a business conference, and an
immense amount of work is dispatched
in the short period of three days. Each
house is occupied with problems of con-
centrated interest, and the forward steps
in clubdom have their origin in this
chamber OF conferences
Men have their Senate and legislatures
the states workshop for law making,
and women have their clubs for the well
fare of home, for the solving of prob
lens which confront their daily tasks and
environments.
The federation accepts these plans of
women's affairs and by methodical SUI
pervision creates a business system
their duties pertaining to club life, charity
and Philanthropy as a unit for the good
of all.
They realize the same hand that rocks
the cradle and teaches the infant how to
crawl must lead him through life, and
they are leading to greater opportunities,
broader cooperation and a fruitful re-
suit.
The world has been aroused by the voice
of woman, as she gently calls the mothers
to awake themselves to the demands of
progress, the emergency of the business
system, and the need of better methods
in home economics. She is the mother
of the voter, and she has a grave re-
sponsibility. Today she recognizes duty
more acutely, because the problems are
of individual Importance, personal service
is needed. The world is calling for pre-
paredness, and the federation of women
are answering the call in their plans
for the future. 1t is strengthening the
foundation of homes by high ideals and
the progress of women's clubs has
claimed world wide attention This army
of splendid women. leaders from among
thousands of women are standing for the
best for Alabama, the south and their
people.
Birmingham welcomes them and wishes
them God speed in their service.
