 The Paris Charivari makes a novel suggestion for doing away with the the- ater hat. It asks Why not separate the audience, placing the women on one side and the men on the other side of the house? If the women had to choose between the separation of the sexes and the adoption of a less objectionable style of hat at the theater the presump- ton is that they would not hesitate to discard the hats and reclaim their es- corts. Such measure would prove more effective than all the laws that leg islatures could pass

 Miss - is a charming girl" replied Mrs Stevens; well bred, as you see, ac- complished, entertaining.
 "Yes, I know" persisted the snob: "but, dear Mrs. Stevens, of course you know what mean--who is she?"
 My dear woman." retorted Mrs. Ste vens, "I can no more tell you who Miss = is than could have told those who asked me who you were when you first came to Newport"

 Some one has said that General Lee

 Times-Star. "He had distinguished vis-
 itors from the north and south and from
 Europe, and they still come to visit his tomb. Hundreds of invitations came to him to attend army reunions and the like, but Ee always courteously declined
 them. But every evening he would mount his horse and take an hours
 ride. I have often met him at these
 times. He would always give the mill

 In intellectual contests between man and woman we see the same principle come into play. Especially in the art of acting and its sister art, elocution, does woman excel. She is the creature of emotion, and naturally expresses the emotions more impressively. She is more graceful, more impassioned, more electrical than her coarser brother The fair daughter of Birmingham who gave d reading at the exercises -of~the High school class was not excelled in the art of expressing emotion by all the noted actors who have appeared on the stage where she stood. Trained abroad in the art of elocution, she showed the power that lies in cultivation and skill. Add to this a natural aptitude, a gracious presence and features frightened by the soul within, and she proved irresistible. She was the Towering of her art. Miss Lucy Morrow gave the exquisite pleas ure produced by perfection.

 The sweet girl graduate" is abroad in the land. She was very largely "n evidence" at O'Brien's opera house last Thursday evening, when the graduating class of the high school, thirty-five in number, received their diplomas. The first signal of her approach was dainty programme. breathing of essays. ora tions, music and diplomas. Then the surging throng of people, pushing and jostling each other in their frantic efforts for tickets and good seats. The hum of pleasant excitement the numerous floral offerings, the look of expectancy on all faces, from the eager gaze of the gal lery god to the proud expression of fond mothers and doting fathers. At last the curtain rose, and amid a buzz of voices and the lSare of foot-lights. the same sweet picture was presented to view that will tomorrow pass into q memory. A reu-letter day in the life of each girl an event that marks an era in her existence. From the white rose that nestled in their hair to their white slippered feet, these white robed visions of faith and hope were as fair as an unwritten page, and as radiant as mornings brightness. After the diplomas were conferred the stage was literally covered with baskets of fiowers-a flower-strewn pathway, as it. were for the nonce, without thornS and redolent with fragrance and beauty.
 The valedictorian, Miss Rebecca Ham, ilton, and the salutatorian, Miss Amy Hawkins, wore their honors with sweet dignity and unaffected grace The essays and orations were excellent and appro- priate; thes essay, "Remove Not the An cient Landmarks" by Miss Ida Altman, being especially good.
 The masterly address of Prof. c. c. Thach of Auburn college showed not only scholarly research, but profound thought and clear, comprehensive views on the educational systems of the public schools. Miss Lucy Morrow added much to the interest of the programme by her delight full recitation of "Genevra."
 The presence of the board of educa- ton, eloquent divines and prominent cit izens gave dignity and tone to an occa- sion that will be always interesting as long as youth remains and enthusiasm lives,
 Professor Moore, principal of the high school, his able assistants and Superin- tendent Phillips were the recipients. of many kind expressions Of appreciation and congratuation on their excellent work from strangers as well as friends.
 
 The Philhedonlans have deferred their picnic at Blount Springs one day later. It will be given on the 24th without doubt or postponement. This delay of one day was unavoidable, but will de- tract nothing from the pleasure of the oc- casion.
 Prof J. Morton Boyce will delight the music-loving people of Birmingham by a grand concert at Seals hall on Tuesday, the Fist. The programme, which has been published before, is both unique and artistic. and composed of some of the finest talent in the city. Professor Boyce's methods will bear the test of thd most exact standards of musical art to hear him play is not only an opportu- nity, but privilege.
