DOINGS AND GOSSIP OF
 SOCIETY DURING LENT

The annual ladies' tournament for the golf cup will be played sometime this month or early in April on the West End links, the exact date not yet hav- ing been determined upon. There is un- usual interest in the approaching tourna ment and the women who will play for the cup are taking advantage of the bright weather and are spending hours on the links every day. Among those to play for the championship will be Miss Emma Leedy, Miss Eugene Brown, Miss Amy Jordan. Mrs Crane and Miss Lura Rutledge Brown. They are all magnifi- cent players, and in playing for the championship will show what practice will accomplish in the way of skill
 There will be three handicaps played and the tournament will attract unusual attention.
 The wind was a little high yesterday for golf, but the sunny day was other wise perfect.
 A number of women who compose the Sewing Circle spent yesterday morning making summer robes de nuit for the boys at Alabamas reformatory. The Cir cle met with Mrs Hugh Morrow as early as o'clock. which is very early for women of fashion to congregate, and especially to sew for others. Not one woman among them but who would have demurred if asked to attend any sort of a function as early as g o'clock in the morning but I do believe these women who do so much of the sewing for these little waifs at the industrial farm would get up at o'clock if they thought boy out there was jacketless. Among the women who were present yesterday were: Mrs. Morrow, Mrs Calvin Jones' Mrs. Henry B. Gray, Mrs. Frank Fowlkes, Mrs. Eugene Brown, Mrs All gernon Nelson, Mrs. Ross c. Smith, Mrs. Eubank, Mrs Cunningham Wilson. Mrs. Edward Warren, Miss Ada Bowron. l
 The plans for the new dormitory at the Boys Industrial School are being com pleted and will be submitted at the meet ing of the board to be held Thursday morning in the Steiner building.
 It is proposed to erect a brick annex at cost of s5,OOO S3,OOO of which has been set aside from the annual state appropria- ton. Out of this appropriation, which amounts to $5OOO. 5000 has been saved by judicious management only $2.OOO be- ing used in the actual expenses of the school for one year. When 1t Is known that out of this amount has come not only the living expenses of sixty boys, but the salaries of the superintendent the assistant superintendent, it seems hardly credible that so splendid an institution could have been so economically man. aged.
 The plans for the new dormitory will comfortably provide for at least hum dred more boys than are at present at the farm. The school building has now been equipped with water works and cleo tric lights.
 The members of the local board are: Mrs. R. D. Johnston, Mrs. T. G. Bush Mrs. Algernon Nelson, Mrs. c. D. Grif- fin and Mir Robert Munger. No one has as yet been elected to fill the vacancy | of MT. B. Steiner, who resigned from the board owing to his indefinite absence in Europe.
