In a musical way Birmingham is now
unapproachable. Several musicians are
in our midst who would honor the me-
tropolis. To encourage this interest In
music a musical exchange should be or
ganizedi The members of the exchange
could thus have access to the best music,
which is costly, and enjoy many other
advantages of cooperation. The ex-
change could be conducted on the same
principles Of a circulating library.
One of the latest additions to Birming-
hams musical associations is the double
uuartette composed of Mrs. Sinnige, Miss
Herndon Miss Coffin, Miss Fallon, Mr.:
Luman Handley. Each member is vo-
calist of high order. While the double
uuartette Is made up for personal graft
fcation it will not deny the public the
pleasure of hearing 1t, and will probably
appear first at st. Pauls during midnight
mass.
Mr.. Arthur Crowder, one of our society
young gentlemen, has received an invita-
ton to a swell event in Memphis, Tenn
at the Gayoso hotel, Nov IT, 1t will be
a reception given by thirteen debutaptes,
who have organized "debutantes' club"
so to speak, and will make their entrance
into society at the same time. 1t Is a
very happy. idea Following are the
names of the debutantes: Misses Craw-
ford Bowdre, Brode, Watson, Ffcklen,
Coffin, Graves, Turley, Mabel Cochran,
Dockery, Tucker, Ora Lee, Mcintyre.
These thirteen fair rosebuds will doubt
less forever put to flight the old superstf-
ton that thirteen is unlucky. 1t will be
observed that all but two are the oldest
of the daughters of the family. The
names of their parents are printed on the
diverse of the card Several of the young
ladies mentioned are known in this city.
To the State Herald:
1t is not the old Itch for scribblng,"
bur real desire to attest the real talent
of one in whom we are all interested that
prompts me to write this. Stopping only
one night in New York last week 1 seized
the opportunity to attend the Harlem
opera house and see Miss Lucy Morrow,
of whose training for the stage and OF
whose bright promise read and heard so
much. Miss Morrow Is Birmingham
