JuNIoR LEAGUE CONVENTION

1 One of the most important and in-
 teresting conventions of the country is being held now in Atlanta. in the
 meeting of the 15o delegates of the Junior League of America. in that
 city.
 The Atlanta Constitution features | the pictures of several of the pretty
 delegates on its front page and Louise Dooly says of the meeting:
 One hundred and fifty of the belles of society life in America-delegates to the first conference in the south l of the Junior League of America are in Atlantas midst. They are the l guests of the Junior League of this 1 city, the visitors from the east and 1 Canada coming on special train | which arrived last evening just in time for a big reception and dinner at the Piedmont Driving club. Other ] trains at all hours brought in dele gates. and even those delegates who arrived before breakfast were greeted
 at the stations by Atlanta's Junior Lea guers-who had, some of them, to | bestir themselves before daylight, or ] so it seemed to sleeply eyes unaccus-
 toned to early hours.
 The prettiest girls and the prettiest
 young matrons from most of the | cities of importance in America-as l far east as Maine, as far west as 1 oregon, California and Texas, and even a few Canadian delegates, with
 groups from nearer home, like Chat l tanooRa and Blrmingham-form She conference, and when they were as-
 sembled at the Driving club at 5 l ntn at fn ia 10
 a merry time, even though some of l them had to go to the club from
 the train.
 "Oh, I've lost my mirror out of my vanity box" lamented sweet young voice as its owner was being motored
 out to the club after a quick change of costume.
 That's all right Any girl at the tea can lend you one" was the
 prompt and certain response.
 And from a demure maid from 1 Washing ton-"You know, this is the | first time I've ever been a delegate. don't want anybody to think I'm not
 southern. Of course, Washington is | southern city"
 Isn't it lovely" exclaimed a blond girl from the east, that you Atlanta | girls are going to give us a dance A hundred and fifty of us. Where in the world did you get enough | men to go around?"
 "Yes. we are from Birmingham, " said another charming young thing, and we are not yet affiliated with | the league, but we were invited to como to Atlanta and talk it over.
 You see, there are two leagues :n Birmingham, and because the national organization can aCCapt only oOa
 from any one city, the New York league, which is the credentials com
 mittee. as 1t is, the founder of the
 Junior league idea, urged that our two clubs in Birmingham should combine and come in that way. But we haven't been able to arrange among ourselves as to the merger We are all perfectly good friends, but we can't agree. There are represen- tatives here from both clubs, and the national league thinks maybe 1t can
 straighten things out for us in At lanta."
 Just think of 1t, an Atlanta meet ing to reconcile differences between Birmingham factions. The Junior league is intrepid. to say the least of it.
 | But all of this was just the frs,
 froth natural to light-hearted greet l ing.
 The hospitality extended their guests by the Atlanta league was
 beautiful and enjoyable. The club
 house, gay with spring flowers re. | vealed the beauty of the woodland blossoms of the south at their height | of charm, and the music of an or
 chestra added its festive note to a l happy occasion.
