MISS YOUNG'S BOOK,
 ELIMINATION SONGS''

Plantation Songs" is the title of charming little volume from the pen of Martha Young of Alabama. the brilliant young writer whose work has met with instantaneous recognition with northern publishers and magazines. This latest volume Is pronounced the most charming of any of the stories depicting negro life in the South. and 1t is admitted that Miss Young has drawn the truest picture of the black nanny days that have yet been given to the literary world.
 From the following review of "Planta- tion Songs which was written for this department of the Age-Herald by clev- CT Alabama girl. it will be seen wherein lies Miss Young.s greatest charm, for the reviewer brings out the many points of literary value and her criticisms are as charming and entertaining as the lit tie volume of which she writes:
 Of interest to the South, and especial ly to Alabamians, is the volume of dialect verses and songs by Martha Young of Greensboro, Ala, which has just been brought out by R. II. Russell of New York. It is entitled ''Plantation Songs
 For My Ladies Banjo," and other negro lyrics and monologues by Ell Shep- pard,' the nom de plume over Which Miss Young has achieved so much sue cess and distinction as a writer of dialect tales and southern stories.
 It Is the most complete volume of darky folk lore of its kind that has been brought out at all, and is in most at tractive form. In the binding, publishing and illustrating MT, Russell has spared no pains; and as the res A, he has pro- duced the most charming and attractive volume of dialect verse that has yet ap- peared. The illustrations which are pie lures from life by J. w. Otis of Greens boro. are marvelousH true and life-like
 That it should have been brought out by Russell, the foremost art publisher, is of literary significance as showing an awakened interest In southern literature and writers, and in the lore of the south ern negro whose original nature. pie turesque life and amusing superstitions have long furnished material for some of

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.

Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, Aug. A.-(Special.)-A The Old White the cry is still they dance; and but for the invigorating air and rejuvinating water tired nature would assert herself. The season is in it's zenith, and so many are the private entertainments that the ball room and parlors have to be engaged far ahead.
 The Japanese party given by Mrs. Wal ter Scott of Anniston, Ala, was one of the most unique and handsomest enter tainments of the season. Every detail was closely carried out, and the novelty of the prizes, souvenirs, etc. gave great delight. Mrs Scote is one of the most beautiful and admired people at the Old White and the recipient of much atten- tion. The most effective feature or the entertainment was the grand nnale. When the players formed in couples, the ladies donning their kamona's, opening their parasols and spreading their fans, marched around the long porch, headed by Mrs. Ferguson of Louisville and Mrs. Barton Grundy of Richmond. Among the gentlemen present were General Jos seph Wheeler, Colonel Morehead or Washington; Colonel Sanford Kellog. U. S. A; Captain Walter Alexander. U. s. A.: Dr. Percy, U. s. N; Judge Wm. Maury. Member of the Board of Spanish Commission; MT. ziloinoz, First Secre- tary of the Prussian Legation; Judge Brawlsy of Charleston, S C.; General Charles Anderson of Richmond; MT. Jor- dan s.. c. Conspicuous among the ladies were Miss Mary Curtis Lee Miss Mill dred Lee. Mrs. Rawlins Lowndcs, Mrs. Albert Ritchie, Mrs. Heald, Mrs. Penn, Mrs. Henry w. Fuller, the Misse Petit of Louisville; Mrs. de Forest Allgood of Georgia; Mrs. Woodward and Miss Jennie Gibbs of Columbia, S. c.
 The handsomest cotillion of the season was given on Thursday by Mrs. John Skelton Williams, wife of the president of the Seaboard Air Line. in honor of Miss Christian of Richmond and Miss Reinhart of Plainfields N. J. The ball room was beautiful decorated. the long ceiling hung with smilax and asparagus ferns. interwoven with flowers. The ta- bles were piled up with favours from Vantfnes. N. r., parasols, picturesque hats. Japanese flowers, etc. that did jus tice to the beautiful girls who wore them. Another entertainment which has drawn the largest crowd of the season to

 She is one of the few Alabama press women who do daily newspaper work, and she Is today one of the most rep resentativs newspaper women on the southern press.
 She is an unusually beautiful woman and is a brilliant and admired figure in Montgomery society. She Is quite tall and remarkably graceful Her hair reminds one of Jane Hading and she wears It sim ply parted and coiled. It Is very black, with touch of grey that is becoming to youthful faces. Her eyes are exquisite very large and brown and expressive, according to her moods, which are always happy. She has the whitest of complex Ions and finely chiseled mouth. The contour of her face is perfect.
 She Is brilliant in conversation and ev- erything that she says Is characterized by an individual charm.
 Her success as a newspaper writer has emphasized her other charms and she has proved that the Southern gentlewoman with all her traditions and her environ ment. is able to fulfill every obligation that goes with her profession and to meet every demand that Journalistic dis cipline may make upon her-this, too, up- on her snatiye heath where the languor- ous bloom of the jassamines and roses in- vite life of incidence in direct contrast to that colder cline which enwraps the Southern woman in the North.

 Two bath rooms are now being equip ped. The tubs for the boys bath rooms have been donated by the Sewing Club, composed of Birmingham women The tank was the gift of MT. T. c.

They make an appeal for other materials that are needed to complete the water facilities and they are confident that work can be completed when it Is known that only a few donations are needed to equip the building with splendid water fa- cilities.

| for herself an enviable place on the Southern press she deserves to receive recognition as distinguished as that which she so generously gives to her pro- | totype In the North.
 1 Among the clever Southern writers who 1 are distinguishing themselves and the Southern press as well, and who are re- ceiving the recognition due them, Is Mrs. J. M de Cottes the editor of the Wo- mans department of the Montgomery Advertiser. zs
 Mrs. de Cottes' work embraces, besides the usual topics dealing with the-work of women, the society news as well, and this latter feature may be said to cover as broad a field as that of the club and literary, both of which are included in the "Woman's Department"
 The social page Is considered (by the mem to be the only frivolous one In the paper. but let one attempt to conduct 1t and 1t becomes a weighty problem. In the matter of club news it has often been demonstrated that a Woman is superior in handling 1t than any ten men reporters and in this capacity do not know a writ, CT on the Southern press who possesses the qualities needed for this special work as does Mrs. de Cottes. She has done a great deal of this kind of work during the four years that she has been connect ed with the Advertiser and her splendid reports of the conventions held by Ala bama women have shown her great capa- bilities in a field in which few women are successful
 Her accuracy her clearness of express sion, the fact that what she writes can be relied upon, are all qualities that char acterize her work. And while in roper torial work she is regarded as particular ly clever. her work along other lines Is bringing her distinction. She is extreme ly original. and recently she began a se- ries Of articles on Types of Men which are pronounced not only witty and bril- liant. but revealing remarkable close study of human nature.
 Not long ago Mrs. de Cottes charmed her readers by a series of articles in which she took Certain Types of Wo- men" for her subject and so cleverly did she handle it and so thoroughly that no type was omitted. The articles were widely read. and on more than one occa- sion she received requests to write up : a certain type, when as recently some
