Miss Roean Going to New York

Miss Sue Rogan will leave for New York in October where she will be asso- ciated with Miss Merrington's School for Girls. Miss Rogan has been so long con- nected with the Birmingham Seminary and identified as she has been for several years with the best educational interests of Birmingham, her departure will mean a distinct loss to the educational world of Birmingham The members of the faculty at the seminary and the pupils as well are extremely loath to have her leave and her resignation was accepted by Miss Compton and Miss Morton with great re- luctance. She is one of the most brilliant and charming young women and no young woman identified with the work of one of the largest seminaries in the South enjoys a greater recognition as a teacher of ability than that accorded Miss Rogan
 With all the national fame of Miss Mer- rington's school Miss Rogan will increase It's prestige in the South, and since 1t has become known that she is to be added to the faculty many prominent people from all parts of the South have expressed their desire to place their daughters in Miss Merrington's school.
 The school is located on Cathedral Heights, probably the most beautiful part of New York and quite near the Colum bian University. It Is one of the most fa- nous of New York's most fashionable schools and enjoys the patronage of Bishop Potter of New York, Bishop Yin cent, Mrs. Garfield, and many other per- sons prominent in official life.
 The army and navy are represented in the school In which the patronage Is linn ited, and altogether 1t is one of the most select schools in the country.

and her position is one of dignity and importance as the result of her serious endeavor and her determination to de- velo her beautiful voice to its fullest ca- pacity For a very young woman she has accomplished great things.
 Miss Markstein enjoys with Miss Schoolar the encouragement given by Mrs. Mott, and Is one of the lakter's favorite pupils. Miss Markstein's voice is a beautiful lyric soprano and under Mrs. Mott's careful training 1t has developed rare sweetness. Miss Markstein has re- ceived several fattering offers to go on the stage, but her family do not encour- age her to adopt the stage as her pro- fession. She sang all winter in one of the fashionable churches in New York, and upon several other occasions her beau- tiful voice was heard to great advantage. She has studied very hard and has every reason to be proud of her successful win ter. She and Miss Scholar have been in seperable They had apartments to- gether, confided to each other their joys, their sorrows df any). their aspirations, took turns at the chafing dish, read aloud the letters from home, for all this Is a part of student life in New York.

 Gossip of the Gay World.
BY ANNIE kENpRIck WALKER.

The most interesting arrivals yesterday were Miss Norma Schoolar and Miss Amelia Markstein, who came direct from New York by way of Washington, arriv- ing in Birmingham over the Southern Railway. They stepped from their Pull man car with evident pleasure that they were at home again and chatted with friends as they walked leisurely through the familiar station They looked par tIcularly we'll and did not show any signs of winter of hard work, or of the long Journey South
 Both Miss Scholar and Miss Mark stein have been studying with Mrs. Alice .Garrigue Mott, and have spent notably successful winter, a winter of hard study 1t Is true, but with such splendid results that they are entitled to a charming and restful vacation But whether it is the influence of the New York studios, the studio of Alice Garrigue Mott in Carne- gie Hall in particular, or to the ambition of the girls, or both, they have returned home with no intention of remaining, but to continue their work so successfully be- gun in New York under the direction of Mrs Mott.
