VIAL OPENING OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL WONlENS

a little speech from Mrs. F. W. Bar rett, who, she said, had been so help full to the club. And they must know from her a woman's recipe for making a successful newspaper. Mrs. Barrett had but one answer, and that one was the slogan of just plain hard work--all day and every day. She assured the club her cooperation whenever the members asked.
 state President Speaks
 Then Mrs E. l.. Pierce, state pres ident of the Business and Profes sional Women's club, was questioned for her recipe for keeping so many clubs harmonious working mass. and made a real hit when she de- clared Get them in debt so heav- fly that they'll have to figure hard how to get out, and then they won't have time to disagree or scrap"
 Many members whispered. then, they were delighted they were in debt though "Birmingham's club didn't know how to scrap really
 The members heard from a great many others of their organization, among them Miss Perna Robinson, who was vociferously called upon to give her recipe when she was sup posed to have only one. 1t was a clever secret. and Miss Robinson spoke in low tone, members &C., cused so that only a few could learn the method Mrs. Scudder Ryall, at tempting to make her escape, was halted in her tracks and told to, speak.
 q am just so happy to be with you.' she averred.
 Miss Annie Lynch, who really is 1oo WI 1 n bO ceived the inspiration for the orr ganization, since she was the first member ever to attend the asse blaze of the National Business and Professional Women's clubs, arose to tell how she had once not believed in the success of organized women. She had changed her mind, she re- lated, and caught so much spirit It had not yet died.
 T want the club to go higher and vet higher in it's aims, it's work and it's inspirations" she emphasized.
 A notable figure at the party was Mrs. H. H. Shell, who is running for city commissioner, and who told the women she expected to clean up the old town of Birmingham when she went into office. She made the shortest speech of the occasion.
 
 sneeehes there was music It was furnished by Misses Margaret Proc tor and Grace Delaney, and how rrettiIy Miss Dewey Bryant sang group of songs. Mrs. o. D. Atkins also gave some musical numbers ana a reading accompanied by the piano.
 Real Carnival Programme
 Mrs Roberts and others were en- thused, and said that the talent III the club had made all the members eager to have d real carnival pro- eramme of their own.'
 And they would have it, too!
 It was getting awfuny late to write a story for the morning Age Herald when Mrs. c. w. Noel was urged to make little talk, but one just had to stay anyhow because the programme wouldn't have seemed complete without her voice in the crowd. For she it was who bought all the pretty furniture, spending for the club between s4,C1o and S5.OO0 for furnishings. For weeks she went here and there to set the very best things at the most economic prices. T never could have succeeded if it had not been for your support" she told the as sembled members.
 She, too, was so glad-glad of the clubs new home. And as the merry programme went on others and yet others were scheduled to talk, until at last it would seem that little co teries of friends still hung back 10 say just another word of joy 70 eacn other on the momentous Birmingham occasion. Miss Marion Gore spoke too
 The club could not be more at. tractiye, with it's color scheme ol green and gold. Its little tables with their white runners, and the ht- tie green chairs are pretty to LOOK
