The party was com posed of Misses Patti Ruffner, Louise Chisolm and Anna May Phelan and Nessrs. Phelan, Handley and Duckworth. They were chaperoned by Mrs. Anna O. Phelan.
 Miss Rosebud Lewis is now in Mont- gomery visiting her cousin, Mrs. Drum pretty Miss Claudia Lewis that was-and Mrs. Craig Smith, formerly Miss LeGrand. She will be absent some time.
 It is always pleasant to chronicle the re- markable things done by women, so it will not be amiss to refer to tie admis- sion of Miss Titus of New York, to the first judicial department of the supreme court of that state. She was the only woman in a class of eighty law students, and her examination was 50 credtable that she was heartily cheered by the seventy nine men in the class, when she was granted permission to practics in the H copartnership p with her brother, and will devote herself to the legal profession.
 
 Mrs. George l.. Morris will be quite awhile with relatives and friends in Mari etta, Ga.
 The dance of the Standard club Wednes- day evening at the hall of the Young Mems Hebrew association was greatly en- joyet by the young ladies and gentlemen yVbO rhara uuta a number of pretty girls from other towns present. among them being Misses Bress- Ter of Tuscum bia, Miss Minnie Levi of Texas, Miss Friend of Atlanta, Miss dom of Selma. It was late before good nights were said and charming evening went reluctantly into the past.
 
 Miss Willie Allen, who has made vory much reputation as one of the teachers in the high school, and who is a very accom- plished woman n every way, is about to sail for Europe, where she will spend the majority of her vacation. No one is better fitted to enjoy a sojourn abroad than Miss Allsn, and it is gratifying to know that she will have such charming trip and to the utmost all the beautiful things of Europe, as only one oi such thorough edu- cation and cultivation can do.
 Miss A lien was at cpne time upon the ed- LOTidl Ol Iu0 MaCOU 1Sl6RTdpD, paper famous throughout the south.
 Mrs. Jefferson Davis has taken rooms for the summer at the Rockingham hotel, Narragansett Pier, and will have her two daughters, Mrs. Hayes and Miss Davis, with her. Mrs. U. s. Grant has rented cottoge at Narragansett, and New York papers seem to think that these two dis tingushed women, Mrs. Davis aud Mrs. Grant, will find it very pleasant to be such near neighbours.
 It is pleasing to find that Mrs. Davis' health is improved. The experience party given by the ladies of the South Highlands Presbyterian church was really a charming entertain enent. The parlors of the church, which were thrown entirely open, made a spen- ecorated most tastefuy with palms,
 rms and cut flowers. There were daisies, keet peas and pansies in lavish abund-
 ee. The arrang ements gave everything homelike air, and the ladies of the aid society were charming, cordial hostesSeS. The exercises were very interesting, and consisted of humorous descriptions, gen. erally in rhyme, of the methods employed by the different ladies in making certain sums of money. All the experiences were very good, some remarkably bright, and all received generous applause. After this part of the programme was completed ices of various kinds, together with delicious cakes, were served to all present.
 There was no charge at the door-not for anything. You were only delightfully."- en- tertained, very much us you would have been in the homes of these good friends. Thirty-five dollars was reported from the ladies, and when all the returns are made the aid society will be able to cancel tha,, sptirez remaining debt op--tb>s.t.-sdtifu Windows of tfeFcffd The women un- dertook the purchase of all the glass used in building the hurch and which cost S900. The last payment they are now pre- pared to make.
 During the past oh urch year, notwith- standing the awful panic, the aid society has made S1200. Is this not marvellous showing when we remember the condition of the country, and also bear in mind the fact that this church has only 160 members all told? The next good work of the aid society will be the paying for tue pews.
 Surely the women of Birmingham are wonderful power for good! In purchasing the glass for their church the ladies were gregation, but have contributed towards the cultivation of art in our town, for those windows are positive joy to all who love and appreciate the beautiful. The color ing is so rich, the tin ting so lovely and the design so exquisite that one never sees them without fresh sensation of pleasure, a new delight each time.
 The reception at Post Forney on Thurs day evening was a success and very enjoy able to the large number present. The guests of the brave young soldiers were from Birmingham, Bessemer, East Lake and other suburbs. While there was danc- ing, of course, yet it WAS not the only amusement of the evening. There was music, vocal and instrumental, at some of the tents, and as a side issue there was an Indian war dance executed by some of the soldiers.
 Among the many present were Mesdames Jordan, House, Kirk man, Carter, Chand- Ter and J. II. Hardy. Misses Graves, Jiles,
