present king, was the first occupant
of this beautiful cradle, which was
made specially for him.

the fragrance of roses and carnations add ed to the pleasant effect, these flowers being used to bank the several large mirrors.
 There was no formal opening of the ball. Dancing began early, most of the 1000 guests arriving before midnight. The costumes were handsomer than in former years and the company almost entirely representative of the South. Notable ex- captions to this rule however, were Gen. and Mrs Miles, who were among the early arrivals; Senator Clark of Mon tana MT and Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh, Representative and Mrs. Dalzell, and Re- presentative and Mrs. Olmsted, of Penn sylvania.
 "A buffet supper was served in the main dining-room and lemonade and punch in the large assembly room.
 Mrs. Howry, who stood at the head of the receiving line wore a handsome gown of light blue silk. trimmed in point lace and narrow black velvet ribbon; Miss Mary Custis Lee, black lace with low bodice and beautiful antique neck lace: Mrs. B. H. Warner white Irish lace over white silk; Mrs Micou, white net trimmed in bands of pink satin; Miss Virginia Miller, black chantilly lace over white taffeta; Mrs. Swanson, black net spangled in red. with garniture of red panne velvet; Mrs M. E. Benton, white satin"
 Other notable costumes were those of Mrs. Bankhead of Alabama. light blue silk and duchess lace; Miss Florida Graves, white chiffon; Miss Fulghum. blue silk relieved in touches of black velvet Miss Richardson, light green silk; Miss Annie Richardson, pink chif- ion.

Amateurs Make a Distinct Hit

A crowded house greeted the perform ance at the Jefferson last afternoon when My Uncle's Will'' and "Ici on Parle Franchise" were rendered. Many may possibly have thought that home talent, however good, might suffer in compari- son with the recent finished and beauti- ful production of "Beaucaire' with Mansfield as the leading star. But such was not the case by any means, and the performance was in no way suggestive of the amateur.
 The one act comedy, My Uncle's Will" was given as a curtain raiser with Miss Madge Parsons, MT. George Ward and Mir. George H. Clark in the cast The human interest of the plot makes the comedy an attractive and interesting one, and in the character delineations gave full scope to the dramatic ability of those taking part. Miss Madge Par sons, as Florence Marigold, was excep- tionally clever and looked and acted her part with real naturalness and grace and a vivacity that was very pleasing. MT. George Ward also was very clever indeed as Charles Marigold and rendered his part with genuine finish.
 MT. George H. Clark met the require ments of the part of MT. Barker in an entirely satisfactory way.
 'Ici on Parle Francaise" followed and was most enthusiastically received. It is a farce in one act and an exceedingly good one and the cast as presented de- lighted every one present. Miss Blake Miss Helen VanHoose and the Misses Cooke each rendered their parts in a smooth, finished and clever manner. Mir George H. Clark as MT. Spriggins was one of the very best of the performance, Utth the part. MT. James Douglas Campbell as Victor Dubois, the Frenchmen, could not have been improved upon While MT. Sam Blake as the irate husband-Major ReSnlus Raltun, created no end of gen. uine mirth by his excellent rendition. The play really deserves to be repeated. Among those who were in charge are

Faces of Fair Women
 By Richard Hall

MT. Richard Hall, the portrait painter, who is on his first visit to this country is carrying out several commissions, which will occupy much of his time dur ing his five months stay in New York MT. Hall, although a naturalized citizen of France, was born of English parents in 1861 when his father was the repre- sentative of Great Britain in Finland He studied for several years in Paris, where his reputation was gained chiefly through his portraits,
 He was represented at the Salon last year by portrait of a mother and child and his notable portrait of Coqueiin. However, MT. hall prefers to paint the portraits of modish women. This Is probably the most difficult task, for in addition to a good portrait he must catch the spirit of the time and impart to his work a chic air.
 Prominent among his portraits are those of Mrs. Oliver Hartman, Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, Miss Beatrice Mills. Ba- rome de Langlade, Duchesse de la Roch- efoucauld, Marquis de Castellane and many others. Much interest is manifest ed in his visit to New York and 1t is believed he will select a maid whom he considers representative of the American girl and use her as a type. Of course Gibson. Christy, Menzall and others could advise him. but MT. Hall is world wide connoisseur with a poets eye for color and it is believed that he will do some distinctively original work along this line
 A season or two ago Carolus Duran of France, possibly the foremost portrait painter of that country spent some months in New York and painted DOT l traits of many of the most notable womer | in this country. But they are simply very fine portraits and no special interest at taches to them. His portrait of the coun tess of Warwick at Warwick Castle IT 1 England which Is an exquisite piece oi | work is one of his best known canvasses

next Monday evening. Two at least of the kings of Mardi Gras win be among the jewellers in mask and fancy dress, anc most of their respective suites of courtiers, nobles and maids of honor will be there to follow them once more through the mazes of the grand march, But weather or no weather the ball will take place and will be most brilliant af- fair.
 The handsomely engraved invitation cards sent out Wednesday last were merely intended for notices to the club members. No invitations nave been sent out to non-members whatever, but mem bers having out of town friends can of course get cards for them by applying to the secretary Of course no gentleman not a member of the club and living in Birmingham can be invited by a mem- Der to attend this or any other enter tainment of the club-a thing much to be regretted, but nevertheless an infiexible club rule everywhere a successful club exists. Promptly at 9:30 o'clock the grand march will be led off by President an. Mrs. R. H. Baugh, and Vice Presi-
 dent and Mrs. I. F. Young to the inspir- ing music of Memolrs full orchestra. All | though it appears to be a matter of some 1 difficulty for Birmingham people to ge. 1 anywhere early, yet the governors of the | Country Club believe they are doing de- 1 serving missionary work in endeavoring 1 at least to begin and close early all of | their entertainments, the location of the club house making this imperative. It is boped. therefore, that the crowd will be l promptly on hand Monday evening at the above named hour. The reception committee will consist of the following ladies and gentlemen:
 MT. and Mrs. R. H. Baugh, Mir. and Mrs. l. F. Young, MT. and Mrs. G. H. Clark. MT. and Mrs. H. K. Miner Mir and Mrs. John M Caldwell. MT. and Mrs Charles O. Locke Mn. and edrs. A. G.

importance and dangers of adulterated foods, and consequently few of the legis- latures have even discussed the question. The widespread adulteration of flour Is one of the most serious phases of this adulteration of food stuffs and on this point Mir Bransford said:
 Tt pays to manufacture a good, pure article and especially an article of food When housekeeper gets a sack of my Clifton flour she knows she is getting something that is not only good, but ab- solutely pure, as every sack bears the Anti-Adulteration League trade mark. Do you know what that meanss You do not? We'll, I will tell you. When the practice of adulterating flour first began in 1898. this league was organized with the view, if possible, of stopping the adul- iteration business. Before joining the league every applicant for membership had first to go before his county clerk and make oath that he never had and

 of Flour Discussed

At the Woman's Club meeting the past week in addition to the regular club programme the members had as a guest on that occasion MT. c. W. Bransford of Owensboro, Ky. MT. Bransford is pro- prietor of the Bransford mills and while he is in the city looking after the in terests of his mills he gave a very sug- gestive and thoughtful talk to the mem bers of the club relative to the adultera- tion of flour. The people of the North have already been aroused to the dangers of adulterated food stuffs and as a re- suit the legislatures of many of the Northern States have taken definite ac- tion. Unfortunately the Southern people have not yet become aroused to the vital

The Lenten Cooking Classes

Much interest is being manifested in the series of cooking lessons which will take place during Lent under the auspices of the Woman's Club. Tickets will be sold by all members of the club, and the lec- lures and demonstrations are open to the public.
 Mrs. E. c. Stevens has charge and is arranging most instructive and attrac- tive outline. The arrangement and serv- ing of a Little Dinner" will be the fea- ture of one lesson. when the entire courses will be prepared and explained. No subject is of greater interest to the hostess than the correct and altogether perfect serving of a little dinner and many ladies are very much interested in these practical features. All recipes will be typewrftt en and distributed to the members of the class SO that the only notes taken by them can be the artistic and practical suggestions. The classes will begin the last week in Feb ,uary.

 never would adulterate the four made in his mill, and then to strengthen his oath he was required to enter into an obligation to pay forfeit of 5000 to any one who ever discovered an adulterant in his flour In view of the conditions it required a pretty stiff backbone to take such an obligation, and 1t is fact that I am the only miller south of the Ohio river that joined the league, but, l as sure you. I have never regretted 1t, all though it came very near putting me out of the milling business. But do you know there is worse character of adul- iteration going on now than ever? Corn meal and corn starch are not used now. They are too high; so barytes, a poison ous mineral mined in Tennessee, Missouri and North Carolina, has been substituted for them. About two months ago says the Chicago Chronicle, the Illinois State Pure Food commission analysed the flour from six mills, located in as many diff

 Southern Society

One of the brilliant social events of the season in Washington was the char ity ball of the Southern Relief Society on January 2s. The guests present num- bered one thousand and from a financial, as well a social standpoint the ball was the most successful in the history of the society.
 Among the Alabama women at the ball were Mrs Bankhead. wife of Con- gressman Bankhead, Miss Alberta Full ghum and Miss Florida Graves of Bir- mingham, Mrs. Micou, daughter of form CT Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Her bert, Mrs. Sidney J. Bowie of Anniston, Miss Sarah Richardson, Miss Barnes Richardson and Miss Annie Richardson of Huntsville daughters of Congressman Richardson, and Mrs. William L. Cham bers.
 Numerous Alabama men were present including Congressman Bankhead and Congressman Richardson. both of whom were on the reception committee, Con- gressman Bowie, Hon. Hilary A. Her bert and Judge w. l.. Chambers The ball which took place at the Arlington was opened with a promenade to the inn mortal strains of .-.xie.
 The following account is taken from tho Washington Post
 "The receiving line, formed in the first of the Vermont avenue suite of parlors, included Mrs Charles B. Howry presi- dent of the society; Mrs Virginia Miller. Miss Mary Curtis Lee, Mrs. B. H. War ner, Mrs. Benjamin Micou, Mrs. M E, Benton, and Mrs. Claude A. Swanson. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Herbert, pres ident of the Confederate Veterans As sociation, stood in line during the earlier part of the evening, while MT. R. E. Lee, Jr.. as chairman of the floor committee, made many presentations of old and new friends to the ladies of the receiving par ty. The Washington Barracks Orchestra furnished the music, playing almost con- tinuously from o'clock until early morn- ing, in the mirror-lined ballroom. The floral decoration here was entirely in Southern smilax which sprayed the walls and ceilings and entwined itself about the heavy chandeliers. In the parlors

ferent states, and they found this poi sonous mineral in the product of every one of them. The commission traced the main factory for crushing of the mineral to Ly,chburg Va, and found on investi- gation that SS, OO0, 900 pounds of it was used to aduterate flour last year. Is this not horrible to plate, when you re- member that bread is the staff of life, and that we depend more upon it for sus- tenance than all other food stuf1s com bined? The Anti-Adulteration league suc- ceeded in getting congress to pass pure-food bill two years ago; but 1t seems to be absolutely imperative. What is to be done to stop the adulteration, I confess l do not know. However, the housekeeper of Birmingham can defeat the adulteration by buying Clifton" and when they do. they will not only get the purest. but the best winter wheat patent flour in the market" MT. Bransford is an interesting speaker and his talk was very much enjoyed by the club members.
