manded chair, and, seating herself
in corner of the dock, interrupted the

After DaiN Adams had learned of

MMOMAN
 w and SOCIETY
ModestY a Society Fad.


 It is said that the latest fad in London and New York society is the announcing of brilliant functions where the hostess has made the most elaborate preparation for her guests that is possible as little af- fairs. "A small dance' means several hundred guests in a superb ball room. while a little dinner'' includes a hun dred or more guests.
 According to English society papers little musie'' was Mrs. Bradley-Martin's 8 term for dinner-muslcal at which Mel ba and Plancon sang. This fad is by no means confined to society in New York and abroad but seems to be popular one in many cities. During last season this subject was frequently discussed by Birmingham women, as many of the most brilliant events of the winter were an- nounced to be small, informal affairs Ihe invitations were frequently informal ana the little dinners" the little card par ties where the guests expected the de tails to be thoroughly informal, were elaborate. During the visit of New York woman here last winter the enter IdluIueulS III llCT liOiADA "NA> N most brilliant of the winter and she hur- ried from a breakfast to card party and then to a dinner, and later to a box party, this routine being kept up during the week that she spent in Birmingham.
 Her visit was somewhat unexpected and all the affairs in her honor were planned after she reached the city, and were sup posed to be more or less informal The series of dinners, dances, card parties were all little affairs at least the hostesses inveigled the guests into this belief until they found out to the con trary.
 The lovely guest of honor declared that each event was more brilliant than the proceeding one, and that the little in formal affair." where one was led to ex- pect twenty guests always meant a beautifully decorated drawing room thronged with a hundred or more ele- gantly gowned women.
 This desire on the part of hostesses to impress their friends with the fact that the entertainment to which they have been bidden Is entirely informal and that only flew friends will be present while commendable in many ways, is at the same time misleading. Where wo- man should always desire to pay her hostess the compliment of looking her best, still If she Is told that the card party or the luncheon or the dinner is to be a ''little one," she will not wear her most elaborate toilette. Frequently last winter Birmingham women recalled cer- tain occasions when they attended so- called informal affairs that really de- manded a more elegant toilette than they had worn, a toilette that should be worn on very dressy and formal occa- sions
 Neither the English nor the New York women are being criticised for their af- fectation in this matter, and hostess certainly has the right of designating her entertainments by any term she prefers. Society should not object if a hostess has surprise for her guests ,and should learn by experience that little dinner" means as brilliant an affair as the purse of the hostess or the size of her house will admit
