Everyone knows when summoned to any social function by Mrs. Hunter that charming entertainment is before them, and Thursday evening only further en-

 period of uninterrupted pleasure and hap piness. After the games of euchre elao- crate and delicious refreshments were served. The first lady's prizs, beautiful

 Miss Margaret B. B. Cahalan has severed
 her connection with the Southern Chimes, the Catholic monthly paper which she as- sisted in establishing and npon which she has accomplished such spIeudid work. Miss Cahalan has eyideuced such a remark able aptitude for newspaper work that 1t Is sincerely 10 be hoped that she will at some
 time in ihs near future De upon the edito-
 rial staff of fiourishin,. publication. have received an ihterestipg and kindly note from friend of Miss, fKyle's, and take from 1t certain extracts that am sure will be of interest to Birmingham people. ''In reading your pleasant notice of Miss Kyle's work in today's AGE
 nsHA1D that there sis ss soSs asp5tsss osssr cts s in regard to this gifted girl which would
 make interesting reading in your. column: My friend, Mrs. Bridewell-w ho is a friend of Miss Kyle-tells me that she was per-
 Initted by Miss Kyle to see her Christmas
 presents sent from admirers in different parts of the world. It required two tables to hold them. Don Carlos of Spain sent
 her pictures of himself and wife and his
 permission to dedicate future editions of
 '.Paul St. Paut'' to himself. George
 Du Maurier sent her from London copies
 ol his books. Miss Kyle received over 400 letters from people of. more or less prominence. I remember one from lady
 in Detroit, Mieb., who had named her
 Wheeler Wilcox. Ella was girl friend of mine quarter of century ago in Mill
 waukee, wis. Miss Kyle has received
 many flattering offers from pu olishers. She has accepted two of these, and is under contract to have two books ready in eight
 months, and she is writing constantly far into the night','
 On Friday evening, December 2S, at the Montgomery theater, the inaugural con.
 cert of the Musical club of Montgomery
 took place. Artisticaily it was a pro- nounced success, and gave promise of a
 bright future for the new musical organiza- tion of Montgomery. Among the sololsts
 was Miss Annie German, formerly of Bir-
 ming ham, who is now studying and prac-
 ticing with commendabie ambition in her
 new home, Montgomery. She sang at this
 concert 'Habanera, from the opera of
 Carmen, which evidences the gratifying
 progress she is making This musical club
 has for its director Prof. William A. Kirk
 patrick, formerly organist at St. Mary's,
 and i Is membership contains many names of musicians-vOcal and instrumental- who have friends in. Birmingham. Among the number are several very charming
 women of much talent, such as Mesdames John D. Carter, l.. N. Woodruff, E. P. Amerne, L.. J. Richardson, Lucy Hart, George F. Moore, George Waller and many
 
 new organization most positive success. Among the basses and tenors are such names as Rev. K. P. Williams, who ia the president of the club, Messrs:L. J. Rich ardson, Minderhout, Martin, Smith, Adams, Campbell. ana Dudley. It is always such q qualification to chron-
 icle the am bilious efforts of young girl in any right direction; and when she has
 been endowed by nature with any gift, she d faal it n inn, at dut vate that talent AS far as in her lies. The
 world demands cultivation in these days, and there IS little excuse for crudity in
 music when the opportunlties for its cuti- vation are so widespread and so easily at
 tained. Only a very few fortunate ones can study in New York or Europe, but every girl who has a voice, if she has ann
 bitiou and energy, can hnd lesser oppor,
 tunities to improve herself. And cuitfvs. ton and training are essellial to evefy voice.
