Coming Events
 Cast Their Shadows
Prepare Now to Withstand the Crisis.

Do not anticipate with shuddering dread the beautiful event of childbirth. You can avoid discomfort during the period and strain at the crisis by pre- pairing your system and putting your self in splendid condition to meet the time
 For just this purpose women all over the land, in every walk of life, have used for over half a century the time honored and famous remedy, Mothers Friend. It is prepared to give the moth er-to-b be that direct help she needs. The muscles, nerves. tendons and cords are made and kept soft and elastic. Thus strain is avoided. and as result nerv- ousness, nausea. bearing-down and stretching pains are avoided. N
 The abdominal muscles expand easily and gently when baby is born. Natural ly, pain is less and the hours are fewer. The system is prepared and the crisis is one of much less danger. M s Write the Bradfield Regulator Conn pany, Dept. M. Lamar Building, Atlanta, Georgia, for their helpful Motherhood Book, and obtain a bottle of Mothers Friend from the druggist today. It is just, as standard as anything you can think of.
 And remember, there is nothing to take the place of MOTHERS FRIEND.

News of Society and Activities of Women

one of those slight souled and easily satisfied persons who is content to use their lips to express what they want to say? No. Really? Then you should certainly give more serious at tention to this art, which probably you so badly need.
 But have cheer. Do not be discour- aged, nor give up hope. You are not alone in your ignorance, or in the neglect of your abilities.
 For '~The Latent Energies of Your Spirit and the Neglected Graces of Your Body" was the subject first ln- troduced to the eager searchers after knowledge at a lecture given by Miss Lucy Feagin at her studio in Carnegie hall, where she gathers her circles of the chosen Cat gathering rate Of $5) and gives to them theSdetails of some of the aforementioned little niceties Not details merely, even illustrations from the poets with living pictures The promising content of her current lecture relates to the law of balance and opposition as used in daily life.
 It is extremely probable that you have never known that when you speak there is only one place where your eyes belong-that depending on your subject If speak of infinity, the eyes should be focused upon point straight ahead; if you speak of something actually existing, eyes to the side. Between the angle of reality and that of eternity is the line of fate, but this cannot be explained in so short space.
 Nor is there need. For the lecture course is by no means over, and before it is finished, we may succeed in car rying tho gospel of grace and adequate self-expression to all of the folk of our fair city, though it must be admitted that it is the ladies who seem at pres- ent to be gaining the numerical ad- vantage in the absorption of the new and alluring study.

11r will be of interest to friends to
 hear from Miss Lucy Feagin. an = Alabama woman who formerly made her home in this city and now resides in New York She taught in Margaret Allen school in this city and has appeared a number of times on the Cadmean circle programme. She writes of her work in New York and says, in commenting on a recent article about her work in the New York Telegram:
 '"The writer caught the fact that l have something different to give, you see, from that usually seen on our American stage, for I am teaching French art and tradition. am hoping in time that even our public schools will put this in as part of the regu- lar course, so that every child may know, for instance, the great meaning and symbol of a vertical line or a hor- izontal line.-
 The New York Evening Telegram says:
 If you see some ono who is full of energy or vitality or of latent power. yet is unable to express himself or herself suggest to that individual that he or she use a spiral. For spiral is the infallible prescription for a soul suffering from inability of self-expres- sion or from self-conscious retrospec- ton.
 All this is the advice given by Miss Lucy Feagin, who might be called a specialist in the high art of self-ex- pression. Do you pine to know the proper tone of voice you should employ when the idea you wish to express is that of a bicycle ride? Or mince pie? Or of a damp chill? When you hold out your arms in a gesture of ap- peal whether it be to the landlord, to q subway guard or to your 'boss," do you know enough to put your feet in the right position?
 Can you retire from a room with sufficient grace to denDnstrate clearly to the other occupants of the room that you can hardly bear to leave them? When you talk do you express your ideas just with your face or have you developed the art of self-expres- sion to such point that you could show your ideas, even with speech. simply by the motions and position of your bodyf

It will be interesting to the society set to learn that the dinner-dances will be resumed this evening at the Tutwiler During the war these delightful affairs were called off and now that everything is taking on a gayer spirit and many of the soldiers are home, these informal ly dances will prove most popular. The hours are from 9 to F and this will give those attending the theatres an oppor- tunity to enjoy them. and doubtless the ballroom will be filled this evening as many reservations have already been made.
