THE WEEK IN SOCIETY
Mrs. Dodge of Chicago, Who is Visit ing Birmingham, Talks of Work of W0man's Baptist Missionary
 Union of the West.

Among the bravest young American offi- cers at the front is Lieutenant Gordon Johnston of the Forty-third regiment. His recent victory at Palo in the Philippines has added to the brilHancy of the army career of the distinguished young Ala bamian, whose prominence in the army gives the state an added prestige for the bravery of her young sons in the Spanish American war.
 When Lieutenant Johnston announced his intention to go to the front his friends dn Birmingham predicted a great career for him, for more reasons than one. His Princeton record was fresh in their minds and the college hero who had a prospect of going to the war with the Rough Riders was naturally in the public eye. Instead of having opportunity of going to the front, however, he was at Montadk all that summer that the war correspondents made life a burden at the army camps in this country. With his subsequent commission

Darlington Semple, the bril- liant Alabama woman who has established a delightful school near Riverside Drive, the most beautiful and fashionable part of New York. l was much impressed with the young women in Mrs. Semple's school, and among the most charming attractive girls. whom I met one evening at dinner was Miss Marjorie Munger. of Kansas City, who by the way is related to MT. Robert Mum ger, of Birmingham. She is an extremely fascinating girl, with wonderfully pretty dark eyes and hair The bevy of attractive girls gathered about Mrs. Semple, and their evident admiration for her, made pretty picture, and illustrated the power of adapt ability well as the charm of a southern woman"

His mother brought him to this country when he was years old and placed him at the Morgan Park home where he has the advantages of the wholesome influences and the edu- cational advantages that belong to Ameri- can children. His name is Hervey Trilbolet and he is quite a handsome brown eyed rosy-ciheeked little fellow who looks at you with brave. courageous eyes. Mrs. Dodge told me of the day that he said goodbye to his mother at the Chicago sta ton. The mothers heart completely failed her, and it was ,5he boy who was the strong one at the moment of parting He was such an intelligent little fellow that he seemed to understand it all, and the mother with her tear bedimmed eyes was strength ened by the brave little boy.
 AS I spoke to him he talked so interest ingly and was altogether so ligiht-hearted so fulrof childish impulses, I could but think of the herosim of the little fellow and of how the sight of him would gladden. a woman's heart in the far Orient.
