mect Mrs. Oscar llund-
f the Birmingham Wom

to tliat lady's talents as a speaker and
logician. The two met. however, not In
joint debate, as was hoped for by Mrs.

couched his language In the most chiv

It has been said of the Southern
women, by the women of the North.
Ihat if they would speak in public, they
would be the greatest force for suf

a number of tine speakers among the
club women. Mrs. Charles J. I laden is
tactful, has a pleasant voice and bus
always a good point to present Mrs.
A. McD. Wilson has a smooth, easy de
livery and knows how to appeal sue
ressfully In behalf of in.v cause she
may have at heart. Mrs .) K. (Utley
is a fluent speaker. Mrs. Burton Smith
is a polished speaker and has the gift
of her ancestors hi making clear her
Ideas. Mrs. Francis Whfteside is not
only a convincing speaker, but has that
tone of voice that pleases. Mrs. Nellie
Peters Black knows exactly what to
say when she speaks and Injects Into
her talks a charm that is undeniable.
Mrs. Williams McCarthy is a graceful
talker and carries with her theme the
quality of sincerity, and Mrs. Hamilton
Douglas and Mrs. A II Spain are
strong and convincing 1n their speak

There are oilier women speakers In
Hie city who have groat gifts, and when
the time is ripe for them to meet any’
of Georgia's great men in joint debate
on any subject they hope to carry off
