promptly at S:30 o'clock. It IS the lnten- | ton of the club to begin playing not later l than 8:45 o'clock, whether all the members | are present or not. During the series of meetings the club will not only play whist | and progressive euchre, but progressive
 hearts also, thus pleasantly varying the | entertainments. The Monday Evening | Whist club is composed of between thirty
 and forty of our most popular and promi- nent young ladies and gentlemen. The | meeting at Miss Hewitt's next Monday | evening is the initial one of the series. 1 The Huntsville Mercury of the 9th says: t'Mr. and Mrs. w. B. Leedy, after pleas- ant visit to friends here, the guests of MT. and Mrs. w. R. Rison, will return to Bir- mingham today"
 | Mrs. E. P. Q uigley has returned from a | pleasant visit to relatives in St. Louis, and | will spend the winter in Birmingham. Mrs. Florence B. Throckmorton, assisted by Mrs. P. B. Clarke, entertained 8 num- Der of their friends last Tuesday afternoon in most delightful manner with cards. | It was royal afternoon. The beautiful home of Mrs. Clarke was redolent with the fragrance of roses. In every room vases ana bowls held gorgeous chrysaEthemums
  one especial vase in which there were dozen of the beautiful, deep- tinted Ameri- can Beauties, perfect in form and color. For two hours the ladies played whist, and when the score was taken the first prize, an elegant cut glass pitcher, was won by jsMrs. James Bruce Morson, and the second przs, an exquisite celery tray, was won by Mrs. Rob obert H. Pearson. After the game | delicious refreshments were served, and only the shadows of night forced the guests fp aQu n m nPf and Mrs. Clarke, to whom they were in- debted for most charming afternoon,
 and always to be remembered with great est pleasure by every lady present. There lowing ladies were Mrs. Throck morton's guests: Mesdames John M. Martin, George k. Ward, s. E. Hundley, R. H. Pearson,

 | The organization of the new dancing l club, the Cotillion, on Monday afternoon, | gives us another aggregation of bright | young men, who will contribute largely | towards the pleasure of the young folk of | Birmingham.
 1 The following young gentlemen consti- | tute the officers of the CotiIlion club: l President, MT. John Kimball; vice. presi- | dent, Mir. Owen Phelan; secretary and
 treasurer, MT. Walter Prescott. Committee on investigation: Messrs. John 5. Brien,
 Committee on dancing: Messrs. N. ". l Trimble, Jr. Woodson Cooke and George | Nj. Browne, Jr. 1t will not be amiss just
 here to suggest to the members of this new
 club that they adopt early hours for their
 entertainments, that is, begin dancing until midnight only. Besides this being l desirable for many aud obvious reasons, it
 is exceedingly out of style to begin dance
 at 10 and Il o'clock. In the large
 given to these details, earlier hours | than were fashionable last winter prevail. 1 As this is such sensible and com mendable fashion it is to be hoped our young people l will adopt it. There is no reason we should l continue behind the times, especially when | the new style is so desirable in every way. l Among the many beautiful and elegant ! wedding presents received by Mrs. F. M. l Billing, formerly Miss Sadie Wyly, last | Wednesday was one of especial beauty sent | by her friend, Mrs. Marie Faunce Hannon. 1 It was simply large bunch of magnificent | yellow and white roses-Marechal Neils | and Brides-and tied together with yellow and white satin ribbon. The flowers were accompanied by the following appropriate | lines:
 | .what sl all send, oh rose of womanbood, l As greeting to thee on thy wedding day | Save rarest roses, wishing that all good May bide with thee, untouched by care for | aye?
 1 White roses suit you well forsooth, | Bespeaking your souP purity and truth, l But gold en roses all your life impart,
 Your white life gleaming gold from your gold 1 heart.
 The flower show opens it's doors promptly l this ID morning at Il o'clock, and will con- | tinue for three days. Every evening there + will be music and dancing, and large
 committee of Birmingham bellies will I welcome the visitors. It promises 10 be I q most pronounced success socially, artis- l tically and financially.
 ,t This unusually elegant invitation tells # of the approaching marriage of one ot our f most prominent and worthy young gentle- I mon and one of the loveliest, most beauti- I ful women of the south.
