Second Celebration of
 Alabama'S Birthday

The second celebration of the States birthday held in Birmingham was a bril- liant success. The observance of the day, last December, as inaugurated by Mrs. w. E. Sorsby, marks a distinct incident in the progress of State patriotism.
 Upon this interesting occasion the assem- sembly room at the Womans Club was beautifully decorated with flags ivy and fragrant flowers. The programme was as follows:
 Welcome-Mrs. w. E. Sorsby.
 '"The Blue and the Gray" by little Misses Baton, Wilson, Garden, Merrill and Cheatham.
 The Genesis of the State-Hon Thomas M. Oven.
 Red. White and Blue" by fourteen pu- pills of Powell School directed by Miss Elm ma Well:nan.
 AS the last chorus was sung and while the flags were yet ~aving, the folding doors were thrown onon revealing a ts bio with spotless damssk artisticaily decorated with Vtnss ana flags and crownAH by a large iced cake sgloG with eishty-one tiny red, white aad blue candles This and the patriotic coni<ctions--rsc, white and blue were as usual, he birthday gift of Mrs. Sorsty to her State. The honor of GU ting the cake was conferred upon Mrs William Duncan Nesbitt, the daughter of Col T. G. Bush, a prominent aaG popular member of ths Historical Society. The instructive ad- dress by Nr. Owen was s:eenly enjoyed and

the music of the patriotic children and teachers evoked enthusiastic applause.
 The Historical Society has removed the headquarters from Tuscaloosa to Birming- ham, and now occupies attractive rooms in the Commercial Club building.
 After the programme and refreshments were served by the house committee and receiving ladies, many visited the library of the society and were surprised to see the number of books and pamphlets of State history already collected.
 The society holds It's business meeting in June and it is proposed to adopt the birth day celebration each fourteenth of Decem- Der for social entertainment.
 Mrs Sorsby is an enthusiast in her work and merits, not only the congratulations sent from sixteen States and the White House, but also the earnest cooperation of al Alabamans The children who took part in the exercises were directed by Miss Idene Key.

9 Memphis Scimitar.

From the Memphis Scimitar
 He was out walking with a young lady who had a decided antipathy to cigarettes, but not being aware of her prejudice he lighted one of the little rolls and began smoking with great gusto, inhaling the fumes deep into his lungs and then blow ing great rings up at the moon, which gazed tranquilly down on his folly. -
 Offended by his presumption, she said with dangerous urbanity:
 Do you know l can read fortunes in cigarette smoker"
 "Indeed!' exclaimed the unsuspecting youth. Perhaps you'll condescend to read mine."
 'Oh, certainly, if you wish it."
 Then she gazed up in the air at the deli cate blue wreaths of smoke. She hesitated, evidently puzzled about something.
 ''I am undecided which of two things Is to befall you" she admitted. "Your fortune is not so easily read as l fancied it would be-" "a
 What are the two things?'
 Why, I can't determine whether you are marked out for lung disease or lunacy," was the answer Cigarettes have such di- verse effects on people of your tempera- ment."
 A moment later the cigarette lay glim- mering in the gutter and the fortune-teller was listening to her escorts embarrassed apologies.

Engagement of Miss Morrow
To Mir. Le Sourd

Dr. and Mrs. George M. Morrow an- nounce the engagement of their daughter Lucy to MT. Harvey Charles Le Sourd of New York; the date of the wedding to be announced later. The ceremony will be sol emnized quietly, and only the immediate members of the family will be present. The announcement of Miss Morrow's approach ing wedding will be of great interest not only in society of the South, but in many cities of the North and East. She is one of the most beautiful and brilliant of Southern women, and is one of the most charming and gifted young actresses that the South ever gave to the American stage. Miss Morrows retirement season or two ago, after a notably successful career, was a distinct loss to the world of dramatic art. At the time of her retirement her en- gagement to MT. Le Sourd was quite gem erally discussed by their close friends, and their approaching marriage was said at the time to be Miss Morrow's reason for leaving the stage. The formal announce ment of the engagement is, however, made public for the first time today. MT. Le Sourd is one of the best-known young ac- tors of New York. Miss Morrow will not return to the stage after her marriage.
