Should Have a Roof Garden on
 One of the New Hotels

While mention has not yet been made in
 the plans for the magnificent hotels to be
 erected in Birmingham, it is probably not
 too late for the promoters to consider the
 advantages of adding a roof garden to at
 least one of the proposed hotels. Birming-
 ham is sufficiently cosmopolitan to support
 a roof garden which would offer the fea-
 lures tha thave made New York roof gar
 dens successful. The charm and beauty of
 roof gardens in that city have made it al-
 most dream city on summer evenings,
 the gardens at the theaters or the fashion
 able hotels being the popular rendezvous
 for the throngs of visitors in town for
 week or two, and one sees the smartest !. gatherings at the roof gardens from the
 opening until the close of the season.
 While the New York theaters open gardens
 with their continuous vaudeville, there are at the same time great drawing cards in the attractions down stairs, and while the price of admission is the same, the roof gardens enjoy the greatest run, for aside
 from the clever attractions put on, the ab- sence of formality and the privilge of saun- tering In any hour before midnight and leav- ing at any time recommends itself partic- ularly to a summers night entertainment. The vaudeville attractions offered by a Bir mingham roof garden would be we'll pat ronized by representative element, and l while the roof gardens that have been at- | tempted in other Southern cities have not been successful, it was for the lack of that | cosmopolitanism that marks the life of Bir- mingham and that would at once insure l the success of a well-eonducted garden in l this city While the vaudeville features could be arranged for later if it was not thought practical at the opening of the 1 hotels, the plans could include a palm gar den upon the roof where a band would | play on summer nights and light refresh- ments be served at the tables. The palm garden at the Waldorf-Astoria, when the Hungarian band plays and the tables are crowded with picturesque groups, is scene unequaled in beauty, and it is not unlike entering an exotic conservatory, studded with lights and gay with brilliant assembly.
 The popularity of the concerts on sum- mer evenings at the parks has proven that Birmingham supports the summer amusements quite as well as the winter entertainments, while the summer opera at East Lake has always been financial suc- cess. The concerts at the parks and the dramatic companies at East Lake and
 Lakeview should not prevent the consid-
 eration of palm garden on the part of
 the promoters of the new hotels. The
 climate Is certainly particularly adapted to
 open air festivities, and the general pictur- esqueness of a roof garden would combine to make Birmingham in summer luxurious and fascinating as the serpent of old Nile.

Happy Pair" that was presented last night at the Country Club the brilliant assembly present felt indeed indebted to. both mem- bers of the cast for an evening of genuine delight The charming little stage that has been improvised at the club house is perfect in all the appointments, and at the close of the overture when the curtain rose on the breakfast room of Mir. and Mrs. Honeyton, it was difficult to realize that the surroundings were not those of the professional stage. The little comedy was indeed cleverly presented, and with its touch of pathos gave Miss Morrow an op- portuity of revealing her powers. In the role of Mrs Honeyton, which was favor ite one of Peg Wellington, she was all that could be desired, while Mr. Clark was ex- tremely clever as the young husband who married to oblige his wife" He sustained the part most charmingly, and when, after various misunderstanding, MT and Mrs Honeyton became indeed "a happy pair" the audience, while not indifferent to their happiness, would have prolonged the diffi- culties in order to have heightened the we'll presented comedy.
 The programme included several numbers by Miss Perse Miss Virginia Walker and Miss Norma Scholar that were enthusias- tically encored Miss Perse gave as her first selection "The Little Mamselle," while her encore was Look Out for the Hoodoo Doo-Doo Man" Her former successful ap pearance at the Country Club few weeks ago was repeated last night, and although she has never appeared on the professional stage, she has quite the air that charac- terizes professional training.
 Miss Virginia Walker gave "The Jewel of Asia and she was never heard to more tune of white and gold was most effective, and the audience was enthusiastic in its admiration
 Miss Scholars first number was "Sog- mai" to which her superb voice was well adapted, and in the encore she gave Spring" The occasion of her appearance was the signal for prolonged applause. @'-
 The programme closed with a character sketch by Miss Perse entitled Sister Ma ry Janes Top Note," in which she again distinguished herself, and completely brought down the house. She was recalled again and again.
 Miss Amy Jordan, one of the most bril- liant young accompaniests in the South, contributed much to the pleasure of the evening. charming dance followed the programme

Marriage of Miss Scott ot Kentucky
 To Mir. Woodruff of Alabama

At Louisville on Friday evening occurred the marriage of Miss Jane Porter Scott to MT. Frank l.. Woodruff of Ensley, Ala. Of the ceremony, which occurred at the home of the bride, the Louisville Courier Journal writes as follows:
 The service took place at 6 clock in the library, where the decorations were both original and beautiful.
 The alcove-ceiling and walls alike-was draped with soft folds of white cloth, which brought into relief the palms, ferns and smilax with which the whole was be- decked.
 From the ceiling just above the bride and groom a large white marriage bell covered with white flowers and smilax was hung. Its clapper was a large electric bulb, from which a bright light, softened by the shell pink lining of the bell, ira diated the impromptu altar below. A number of small, white Cupids with outstretched hands depended from the ceiling of the alcove and formed a partial border on two sides of the room, an d white satin streamers arranged from the bell to the Cupids had the effect of so many cherubs ringing the glad marriage peal.
 The idea was original and the effect was charming.
 Just beneath the bell a prie-dieu draped n white cloth covered with asparagus plu- mosa stood in readiness for the service, and on either side of it were tall brass paschal candlesticks filled with white ta- pers. A handsome white satin cushion, embroidered in the last initial of the bride and S w done in gold rested the prie-dieu.
 An organ was placed in Dr. ScottS study, and at o'clock MT. Oliver P flag gard began playing the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin," which announced the coming of the bridal party.
 They filed down the green n-decked stair way, the six little flower girls coming first and forming an aisle of white ribbons from the foot of the steps to the altar
 As they entered the bridegroom and best man, MT. Edward McComb of Ensley Ala, came from the study with the clergyman, the Rev. Charles Ewell Craik, Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, and awaited the bride
 Mrs. James H. Rees of Memphis the matron of honor. followed the ribbon girls, and behind her came Miss Scott with her father, Dr. Preston B. Scott.
 During the ceremony MT. Haggard played 70 Promise Me" and upon the con- cusion of the service the Mendessohn wedding march, followed by a number of bright, gay selections.
 Mrs. Rees wore a lovely gown of white organdie trimmed with real lace and car- ried bouquet of bride roses tied with as- paragus plumosa.
 Miss Scott was gowned in white crepe de chine and wore tufle veil caught to her hair by the groom's gift diamond sun- burst
 The skirt of the gown was cut with train and was shirred around the hips, and the bodice had yoke of shirred mousseline de soie with bolero of real lace.
 She carried an ivory prayer book in her hands,
 MT. and Mrs Woodruff are now in Mem phis, but will arrive in Ensey in a few days The bride is one of the most charm ing girls in Louisville and Is well known in the literary set. MT. Woodruff is vice. president of the Req Estate Management Company of New York.
