Charles A. Dana, in his New York Sun,
wrote q, caustic paragraph rejecting on
the bright woman who writes for the
World. The Journal excoriates Dana un-
mercifully, saying that he transcribed
all the bounds of decency and respect in
thus attacking respectable and hard
working women. Mr.. w II. Skaggs saysi
he is relieved to know that the Sun has
found somebody to pitch into besides
himself.
The cards sent out to the larger So
cial functions are usually printed in
northern cities. They are printed from
copper-plate, and cost about $25 for 500.
Birmingham has we'll equipped printing
establishments, and while they do not
turn out copper plate engraving they
print from script type and only the
trained eye can tell the difference. The
amount of money sent out of the city
during the season for these cards Is con-
siderable. Will not our society leaders
show more regard for home enterprises?
Even If the cards are not given to
printing office they could be etched or
hand-painted by any one of several ar
tistic girls in the city who thus make
their pin money or devote 1t to some
charitable purpose. .fet
AT fashionable dining Thanksgiving
and only three touched wine. OF the
fourteen young men present, three re-
fused wine. The supply Of wine was in
exhaustible and the refusal was a mat
ter of taste, or principle. This is encour-
aging to the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union.
I'm serving an eight course dinner for
society affair we always calculate that
every guest will partake of each course"
says a caterer. "Of course the amount
consumed by each guest will be small-a.
mere taste-yet we must prepare for all.
For instance, we serve cold turkey. We
calculate that one turkey will feed ten
people, and for 200 people we must pre-
pare twenty turkeys. OF course it is
impossible to prepare just the exact
amount, and as rule there Is a good
deal left over of some article and the
guests run short on others. At a recent
large supper there was a good deal of
the substantials left over, such as turkey,
cold chicken ETC., while the delicacies,
SUCH as oysters, ice cream, etc, run
short. The supper being served late at
might the guests did not care to eat
heartily of solids. In preparing our regu-
lar hotel dinner we go on different prin-
ciple than in getting up special dinner.
Suppose our bill Of fare embraces tur-
key and roast beef. We know from long
experience that about two-thirds of our
guests will take turkey and the remain
ing third prefer beef, and we prepare
accordingly. We always prepare
enough ice cream for all-everybody
likes ice cream"
The recent THANKSGIVING festivities has
informally introduced into society one of
Birminghamls prettiest and most attrac-
tive girls, and she will prove to be great
favorite. Miss w. M. inherlts her beauty

is an expression often heard.
The intellectual character of the early
settlers of this valley and their descend
ants is dueto theiYankee school teachers
that came down toSElyton. The southern
boys and girls may have had native
chivalry and beauty, but they had to i'm
port their intellictual equipment from the
north. This fact will doubtless afford
consolation to the northern lay who so
neatly answered the society editors

love Of northern women for notoriety.
