out the whisperings of this gladstone

out the whisperings of this gladsome season.
 Right here and now does 1t strike as relevant to make mention of the music feature of the Axis. This very essential department, under the able leadership of Mrs. W. J. Adams, is always fostering some plan or other where harmony is the dominant re- frain. Show me a heart void of music and I'll show one exempt of love-" For where any big focus of human interest or enterprise is cen tered there you'll surely find the notes of music interwoven. Its power had weight to assuage the wrath of a war god during our recent world conflict.
 Therefore, one knows only too well what is implied by the musical su- pervision of a large organization But Mrs. Adams, who has long mer- ited the plaudits of our appreciative people, has her task we'll in hand and at present her thoughts and hands overflowing with projects From this certainty the Axis club wil lcatch full share.
 Numbered among other things are series of three concerts to be given during this season in the club rooms.
 Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Lloyd Joce- Ay mittee ,are scheming some interest ing joint programs whereby both musical and literary features will be the combined order of entertainment for members enjoyment.
 Under the very alluring caption of Under the Reading Lamp" the liter ature department will organize at an early date.

Dr. George Lang of the University of Alabama will be the lecturer in this highly fnteresting field. Members desiring to enroll in the educational department, where the privilege of these lectures to- gether with others may be had. may get in touch with Mrs. Angus Taylor chairman, who will gladly furnish particulars.
 What the building committee has planned seems graveyard bit of secret, not ready for divulgence until the regular monthly luncheon tomor- row week.
 With the return of Mrs. Coleman Blach the social welfare department will shoulder it's part in a splendid share of work. Already plans are shaping, and rumor has it magnifi- cent outline Is under way, but mum s the word until the time is ripe. More club meetings in the club rooms dur ing the week and the place has taken on look of actual habitation.
