 The members of the Book club were the guests on Tuesday afternoon of Mrs. Fred Hardyat the residence of Mrs. R. D. John- ston, owing to the indictment weather and the haphazard running of the Highland dummies. Mrs. N. E. Barker read fine paper on "Current Events'' and Mrs. w. L. Murdock very superior one upon "The Business Women of America.' The pro- posed state federation of literary clubs was discussed, and it was decided by the Book club to unite with the other circles of Ala banla in organizing this needed union. The next meeting of the Book club will occur at Mrs. B. K. Campbell's, and it will be a Hawthorne afternoon, when the life and writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne will engross the attention of the members. Mrs. John P. Tillman is visiting rela- tives and friends in Selma.
 The following pretty invitation was re. ceived several days ago from a dear friend in Montgomery:
 "Mrs. I. B. Faunce, Wednesday, Jan- nary 30, Miss Hallonquist, Miss O'Brien. Tea, 5 to TO-.
 The invitation was daintiy tied with green ribbon. The two young girls, both debutantes, to whom this tea is given, are truly lovely girls, of whom Birmingham and Montgomery have every reason to be very proud. Miss Bessie O'Brien has al- ready made many friends in Montgomery, and Miss Hallonquist has many friends among the Montgomery colony in Blr- mingham. Her elder sister, formerly Miss Sophie Hallonquist, now Mrs. George Nichol, was celebrated as a young girl for her beauty and charm. and during visit to Birmingham few years ago received marked social attention. The present Miss Hallonquist is said to have grown up bear ing strong resemblance to her sister.
 That the tea was perfect success goes without the saying, and that the two hand some girls in whose honor it was given scored triumph and added to their laurels we all feel assured.
 The entertainment to be given Saturday afternoon by the teachers and pupils of Powell school at the opera house at o'clock will be complimentary to the teach CTS of Jefferson county, who will be in our city attending their institute, and will also be somewhat in the nature of benefit for our public library, which has been brought to it's present state Of excellence through the untiring efforts of Dr. J. II. Phillips, assisted by the teachers in the public schools. There will be 400 children in the cast of the play, which is not unlike "America, ' which created such furore in Chicago during the exposition. Miss Wellman will have charge of the music, and the admission fee, 25 cents, is so small that the opera house should be packed next Saturday afternoon.
 Miss Mamie Moore, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Lydenham Moore, has recently re- turned from delightful visit to relatives in Mobile. While there she was the re- cipient of many social courtesies, aud the New Orleans Times Democrat, in it's Mo- bile notes, speaks of her especially as one of the visiting young ladies who ''re- ceived' on New Years Day and who was the strikers ball. Birmingham girls have a charming habit of carrying off the palm when in any assembly in any city.
 The Monday Evening Whist club was en- tertained delightfully."- by Miss Jennie Por- ter at the residence of her parents, Judge and Mrs. M. T. Porter.
