The Winter Plans
 Of Southern Club.

While the season" is never considered gay or Interesting, and it cannot really be said of society as they say at the races, 'fhey're off," until the annual re- ception at the Southern club, the latter part of November, the social world this winter will not delay it's gaItes so late. The club intends to begin its entertaining much earlier, and announces a cotillon for next Thursday evening. There will be semi-monthly entertainments at the club during the winter cotilons, alternat- ing with card parties, and the club in- tends to entertain more frequently this winter than ever before. The cotillon next Thursday evening will be a charming oc- casion, and the first to assemble the large number of beautiful young women who will enter society this winter.
 The date for the annual club reception has not been definitely decided upon, but the occasion will be the same important event in the social life of Birmingham that it has been for years.
 There will be several debut parties pre- ceding the club reception. MT. and Mrs L. ter, Miss Fannie Dunn on the evening of November 12. Mr. and Mrs E. J. McCros- sin will introduce their daughter, Miss Florence McCrossin on the evening of November 10. MT. and Mrs. William A. Walker will entertain on the evening of | November 20 in compliment to their debut ante daughter Miss Louise Walker. MT. and Mrs. Robert Jemison will introduce their daughter, Miss Bessie Jemison, and Major and Mrs Frank T. Anderson will also entertain In November in honor of their daughter. Miss Mary Anderson. There will be a number of other coming out parties, for there has not been a sea- son in years where society was anticipat- ing so many acquisitions from its rose bud garden. There will be more enter taining this winter than even last season and the modistes are being rushed to death, glimpses of the new gowns for the winter revealing that the beauty show this season will rival that In all the south- ern cities

SOCIETY SHOWS ITS
 ADMIRATION FOR ARMY

c ocIETY showed it's usual appreeia- - tion of the army yesterday on the
 occasion of the first appearance of Troop of the famous Seventh Cavalry. There were many driving parties and society was more brilliantly represented than usual at the opening day of the fair.
 The magnificent exhibitions of the Seventh Cavalry will attract hundreds 70 the fair that otherwise would be rather indifferent about attending The scene was again like horse shoe week. with beauty in the box, chatting of records of horse flesh, with interesting allusions to the army. There were few persons who did not appear posted abode the rec ords of the Seventh. Now it was their frontier life and the days In scout and saddle, and then again lhis, in contrast to the ball room. the dress parades of to day And so it went on-this gossip of one of the most illustrlous regiments in seryiee-a regiment that two years after the civil war was stationed in Kansas when that state was a desert and infested with hostile Indians Troops of the Seventh guarded the engineers and labor CTS constructing the Kansas Pacific rail- road protected emigrants and settlers and helped to open the west to civillza- ton and progress. Right at the front in Indian warfare under their famous com manding general-Custer. Later in the northwest they opened up the country and fought the Sioux-three troops of the regi- ment meeting horrible death at the bat tie of the Little Eff Horn. and this is but a fragment of the Seventh's history. Small wonder that society grew historical and reminiscent.
