Ban on Bridge Whist

That the a-fashionable women at both New York and London are placing their ban upon the game of bridge whist, a fact emphasized by Mrs. Holmes, is be- ing discussed just now by many of the leading papers, New York paper the past week discussing the subject as fol- lows:
 There Is a movement in this city to abolish bridge whist as a social recrea- tion on account of the fact that 1t has become responsible in a large measure for a gambling craze. Several society ma irons, among whom is Mrs. Richard IT, win, have set their faces against the game, and do not allow it in their houses. Mrs Irwin declares that she will not play the game, that she does not know how to play it, and that she does not intend to learn. As Mrs. Irwin is very prominent and has a large following, her independ- ent stand threatens to curtail the popu- larity of the game.
 In London bridge whist gambling has assumed alarming proportions. Many young men and young women, too have been all but ruined by the reckless man ner in which they have played. It has be- come the rule in that city for a hostess to propose a game of bridge whist after dinner. and the guests usually find it very difficult to refuse her invitation to play.
 The Marchioness of Londonderry is one of the English women who have now placed a ban upon the game. At a large dinner party she gave not long ago at her residence she made the announcement that she had decided to give up the game and that it would never again be played in her house. As she is one of the fore most hostesses in London, the stand she has taken bids fair not only to impair the vogue of the game abroad, but to have it's influence in this country, where the Marchioness is we'll known. It is

CTS in meeting the situation.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon of the Woman's Club, the civic department, of which Mrs. Ida Adams Is director, had the meeting in charge. The discussions were entirely in reference to the storm situation and reports from the Woman's Club relief committees were made. Mrs. W. P. McCrossin, Mrs William B. Leedy and Mrs J. D. Moore made the most encouraging reports, and said that as fast as the donations had been re- ceived they had been sent to the relief headquarters It was decided to send the clothing to the United Charities and the money and provisions to the relief headquarters. Mrs. S. D. Squires said that more clothing, shoes and bedding were needed at the United Charities and while the needs of the storm sufferers were being discussed Mrs. Zac Smith moved that the Woman's Club continue it's work of relief as long as any good could be accomplished. This motion was unanimously carried and the committees appointed by the club will continue to re- ceive contributions which will be prompt ly sent to either the United Charities or relief headquarters.

dramatic temperament and the stage presence that go with tragic roles, and 1t Is in, this line of work that Birmingham will see her capabilities to the greatest advantage. Mrs. Jones studied at the Chicago University with Prof. J. D. Da- wis. whose methods are recognized as entirely different to the Delsarte and other methods which were once popular.
 It was while Mrs. Jones was In Chi- cago that she was invited to give dra- matte reading at the friquoise Club, the great ovation she received being written of at length in the Chicago papers. It was at the time of the Presidential campaign, and on several occasions she was a guest at the Democratic Club and invited to give readings.
 Mrs Jones costumes for her various roles are very elaborate, and in her mono logue, "The Gypsy Flower Girl of Spain" she will wear a most picturesque cos tune. She designs her own costumes. The programme for the recital will be very artistic and every detail will be arranged on an elaborate scale.
 The rumor that Mrs. Jones contemplat- ed going on the stage was erroneous. She has had several offers, but while 1t Is her intention to continue her work, she will not study with any intention of adopting the stage as her career.

Mrs. Evelyn Cecil Jones.

Birmingham has been very anxious to hear Mrs. Evelyn Cecil Jones in a dra- matic recital ever since her success in Chicago last winter, and there is unusual interest in her approaching recital, which will be given on the evening of April 19 at the Jefferson Theatre. Upon this oc- casion. Mrs. Jones will appear in a num- Der of roles that will give her every op- portunity to display her power. When Mrs. Jones quietly announced several months ago that she was going to Chi cago to study at one of the dramatic schools, no one realized that she intend ed studying for a career, although so many bright southern women are making names for themselves by their dialect and dramatic recitals.
 There is Caroline Gordon, the daught- or of General John B. Gordon, who has created such a furoe by her interpre- tation of the negro dialect. Then there Is Martha Gielow, the brilliant Alabama woman whose dialect recitals have been the talk of two continents.
 Mrs. Jones recital will be wholly diff ferent from dialect work. She has the

Entertainment at Seminary.

Louis Spencer Daniel, the American monologue entertainer, comes to enter tain the young ladies of Birmingham Seminary and their friends on Tuesday evening. MT. Daniel is the younger of the Tennessee wits and platform celebrities, but is far from being the less brilliant. His "Ole Ash" stories are known every where and are much enjoyed. He is also the author of a play and many short stories, and won distinction by translat- ing the duel scene from The Rivals into negro dialect, working "Ole Ash into the character of Bob Acres, very clever piece of work.
 The young ladies and Miss Compton are to be congratulated upon securing the presence of MT. Daniel upon this occa- sion. The music for the occasion will be furnished and arranged by the young ladies of the Seminary. MT. Daniel s programme has not yet been announced, but 1t Is presumed that he will render only his dialect stories and two one act comedies in monologue

The occa- sion will be a delightful one for the lit- tie folks, and a cordial invitation is ex- tended them to be present. The large and beautiful grounds at the Hamilton residence will make an egg hunt very interesting and no more ideal place could be found for the hundreds of chill dren to enjoy that ever-delightful occu- patton of egg hunting at the Easter sea son. That the proceeds from the nunt will be given the industrial farm will al- so make the occasion popular.
