if they drew upon a fruitful maginati ton. desire to give us a rest from the eternal woman's board we will forgive any un- fortunate tendencies in other directions. Mrs. c. B. Spencer and Mrs W. H. Jeffries have returned from the Woman's Christian Temperance union convention at Baltimore.
 The following communication has been received and is published with interest:
 This time-honored society has his tory which has become endeared to and occupies warm place In the hearts of our whole city, and our art loving people are ever ready to welcome the name of Mendelssohn.
 The Mendelssohn Society. This society, organized in the very early days of Birmingham, the first musi- cal society, and has grown strong year after year as a public benefactor, edu- eating, cultivating and refining in it's in- fiuences and the purity of its purpose un- til today it stands at the head of all musi- cal societies within the state of Alabama and has made our city the musical center of the state.
 It's patrons are the representatives of 1 cur best and most intellectual people who find solace and recreation in the broad field of music and harmony after the cares and discords of life, and are patriots to the improvements of home talents.
 This promises to be the most brilliant season for the Mendelssohns. There will be a greater variety of new and pleasing music rendered.
