The women who are leaders In sos

gagged In preparing children for entrance
into college-rebuildin wardrobes and
the more fortunate perhaps buying new
ones--supervising the fall cleaning and
the many varied and sundry duties fall
ing to the lot of the housewife. How
ever, there were two very delightful
events Of a ciyic.social nature during
the past week, which gave an impetus
to autumn activities and we're thorough
ly enjoyed. The first of these was the
luncheon and first meeting of the Music
Teachers association, taking place, at
the Motion hotel, This serious and de-
lightful organization of women expect
to lunch together once during each
month this winter and to make an
earnest study Of psychology as It per-

ton. Some of the very brilliant events
in society have been fostered by this
organization. One, it will be remem-
bered, was the lovely tea given when
Mrs. Murray Brown was chairman Of
the social committee and which was
given in honor of the newly elected
members of the legislature. Even fur

man of the same committee, was hos
tess chief and fifteen hundred people
were entertained at the Southern club
in honor of Mrs. Echols, who was the
first woman elected to the city COM
mission OF Birmingham. Later when
Mrs. wilkins of Selma was elected to
the legislature another very lovely party
was given at the Southern club. One
is not surprised that when an invita-

plates. During the fine administration
Of Mrs. ]. NJ. Hankins, the league had

One of the most striking incidents
Of the luncheon given by the League of
Women Voters this week was the pre-

Mrs. Richard Johnston, Mrs. Brenton

ID. Nesbitt, Mrs. A. j. BOwrOn and Mrs.
