Mrs. John Scott Mooring, who will have kindergarten classes at 719 South Twen- tieth street.
 The Burromes method is widely known. but 1t was introduced for the first time In Birmingham at this recital, which was attended by number of prominent woment among whom were Mrs. T. G. Bush, Mrs. A. T. London, Mrs. Charles Q. Locke, Mrs. David Roberts, Mrs. Jack Johnson, Mrs. Archibald and others.
 Mrs Mooring in speaking of the work said Miss Burromes called her method a kindergarten method, because 1t de- velopes in children the faculties and cul- ture which makes musicians By this method it has been proved that the pu- pills acquire information and develope qualities that would hardly be possible under ordinary methods.
 Little Miss Mooring entertained her guests with a delightful programme, each number of which was remarkably well given She was picture m a white frock, her brown curls tied with pink ribbons.

Met the Archbishop of Canter- bury and During Her Visit Received Communion at the Hands of the Archbishop.
Visits the Cologne Cathedral, Which is Said to be the Finest Specimen of Gothic Architecture Extant.

Since Mrs. Edmund Taylor Talliaferro's return from Europe she has frequently been the brilliant center of a group ot friends who have been entertained by her in reference to the countries she has visited and the charming people she has met. She is one of those rare women who takes her friends hand in hand with her through foreign cities. and there is nothing more delightful than to hear a bright woman recall desultorily the interesting phrases of travel.
 While Mrs. Taliaferro travelled exten- sively on the continent, she spent the greater part of her time while abroad in England as the guest of relatives and friends. She visited Burg castle and spent several days with her kinsman, the Rev. Canon Venabes at Burg rec tory. This distinguished ecclessiastic is over 80 years of age, but is in good health and spirits. Like all dignitaries of the Church of England, Canon Venables is the author of number of books, one a popular history of the English church. which is really an instructive and enter taining history of the English people.
 Mrs. Taliaferro paid a delightful visit to Canterberry where she was enter tained by the eminent historian, the Rev. Canon Rawlinson, and it was her rare privilege to meet at tea at the Canon's house, the Right Hon. and Most Rev. Frederick Temple. D. D., archbishop of Canterbury and private of all England. The archbishop and Cannon Rawlinson are near the same age, both being octo- genarians, and as they were college mates tnft hot ont 1fera life All formality of address between them is dropped. the canon calling the lord archbishop simply Temple.
 "I want you to meet Temple" said the Canon to Mrs. Taliaferro, land I will telephone him to come over this evening and bring the chain and cross which the king gave him as a souvenir of the coro- nation
 The archbishop responded to the invi- tation and brought the treasured gift. The conversation of these great church. women at the table and in the drawing room was brilliant and edifying.
 During her stay at Canterbury Mrs. Taliaferro had the pleasure of attending two services-one conducted by Canon Rawlinson and the other conducted by the archbishop. She received Holy com munion from the hand of the archbishop.
 Another of Mrs. Taliaferro's interesting experiences was at Cambridge. where she was entertained by one of the dignitaries of the university. Mrs. Taliaferro says that among the many things that im- presses the tourists in Europe Is the fact that every town, no matter how small or poor, is adorned by a magnificent old church. Speaking of Cathedrals Mrs. Taliaferro said she reveled in the beauty and splendour of the famous minister at Cologne, which is said to be the finest specimen of Gothic architecture in the world. but she admired even more than the Cologne cathedral the one at Strass- burg.

One of Mrs. Zac P. Smiths Party Writes of Impressions of Berlin, the Most Beautiful Capital of Europe.
German Military Officers Have Fascinating Manners, and Are as a Rule Handsome and of Fine Phisique.

The early autumn season has found many Birmingham people still abroad. Mrs. zac P. Smith and her party only sailed a week ago. and were in Berlin at the opening of the season.
 A charming member of her party in re- ferring to their stay there, in private letter says:
 We finished our trip in Berlin, which is undoubtedly the handsomest capital in Europe. You know have a cousin, Mrs Phillipp Miller, who lives there. with her young daughter, and she entertained in our honor with an afternoon tea.
 There is quite an American colony in Berlin. amounting to probably five or six thousand. We met a large number of charming Americans and also a number of prominent Germans, who could speak Lnglish, fortunately for us. The Ameri- can girls were especially interested in several German officers who were un- usually handsome and attractive men, with graceful manners so distinetively German that they were simply irresista- ble. During the afternoon we had sever al musical numbers. One especially en- Joyable was a vocal solo by Mr. William AacWiliams of Rome, Ga.
 MT. Williams, you may remember, was in Birmingham d couple of months several years ago and sang at several of .. city churches. He has a fine tenor g.ee and has been in Berlin several months. His teacher is most enthusiastic over his voice and assures us there need be no limit to his ambition, provided he works very hard, as he may safely as- pire to the most brilliant operatic career. DO we were charmed to hear the future a.egfried. His voice has improved and developed wonderfully since he sang in Birmingham.
 "The charming little function in the -.aiser's gay capital gave us a really charming finish to our summers trip, and made each one of us feel that we would like to return and enjoy to an even greater extent the gaeties of the very gay season there. But sailing day was near at hand. and while we longed fer more time in Berlin. nevertheless cur faces were turned homeward. the at fractions were too strong to allow us to remain longer. We have had most de- lightful voyage on the Patricia" of the Hamburg-American line. and expect to reach Birmingham by the first of octo- ber'

FOR RED-HA1RED GIRLS.
A Phlfanthropic French~.n,.
Bequest That May Cause
Some Trouble.

A Frenchman has left a beouest q.
$4,000 which is to supply yearly 8
dowry for two poor but respectabl,
red-haired girls.
Whether he liked red hair or con
sidered it an affection beyond the or
binary, he neglected to state, so his
motive Is obscure, but the $4,000 is
a definite fact, says the New York
Sun.
Now the method of selection is puz-
cling the men who have to carry out
the wishes of the deceased. Appli-
cants for the dowry will doubtless
turn up in swarms, and, if there is
anything in the popular tradition that
associates red hair and fiery temner
the rejected maidens may make
things hot for the trustees.
1t is to be hoped that those trus-
tees will pick out hair of the carrottv
nncompromising type. The girl with
Titan tresses, the girl with auburn or
copper red or chestnut hair needs M
consolation.
Her weather. sisters spend much

tint that is hers without money and
without price. But there is a red hair
sandy, unspectacular, brick red hair,
1t usually goes with pale blue ewes
and white eyelashes and vague freck-
les.
The girl who has to carry that head
through life needs the consolation Of
religion and of dowry. If she
chooses to spend part Of the dowrv
on hair dye. the man who marries her
should not be allowed to protest.

CIGARS THAT SAVED LIFE.
Waiting to Get Them Prevented Two
New Workers from Being in q
Railway Smash-Up,

That the habit of cigar smoking
is conducive to longevity is the firm
belief of two physicians of the east
ern district of Brooklyn. Their faith
in SO peculiar a theory is born OF
the fact that they owe their contin.
ued existence to the fondness of one
OF them for smoking, says the New
York Times. .
The story involved has to do with
the recent disaster in the New York
Central tunnel. DR.. Peter Hughes,
surgeon in chief of St. GATHERINGS
hospital, and DR.. Paul F. Cavanagh
OF GIG Bedford avenue, are the physi-
cans concerned. DR.. Hughes has a
patient in East One Hundred and
IWenty-eighth street, near Lenox
avenue, Manhattan, who is suffering
from acute appendicitis. On the
night preceding the day of the fatal
collision in the Park avenue tunnel
DIR. Hughes called in DR.. Cavanagh in
consultation in the case. The physi-
clans remained at the home of the
patient all night. Leaving there on
the following morning they walked
to One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
street, intending to board a New
York Central local train for the
Grand Central station.
There's train at $685." said DR..
Cavanagh, consulting his watch; I'VE
can make it if we hurry
"All right" returned DR.. Hughes,
but l must get cigar to smoke
"Oh, never mind the cigar" said
"We haven't the time"
'1'll have that smoke if I miss a
dozen trains," insisted Hughes.
Cavanagh yielded, and entering a
store they purchased some cigars,
hurrying out again to catch the train.
As they, neared the station the train
the fatal South Norwalk express
came putting in. The two doctors
ran up the stairs, but just as they
the platform the train pulled |
,ut.
There, if it hadn't been for these
blamed old cigars we'd be on our way
downtown now" said Cavanagh, an
,oyed.
