Picturesque Features
 In the Costume Dance.

Society will discuss for some time to come the tissue paper cotillon given on Wednesday by MT. and Mrs Soon Jacobs. Not since the pal masque given by Mir. and Mrs. Jack Johnson a few winters ago when many of the guests wore tissue paper costumes. and the David Roberts bal poudre has any event been attended with so many picturesque features.
 There were probably six or seven hun dred favors many of them being made by the clever hostess, but most of them were the work of ingenious artists of New York The military favors for tbe gentle- men were very striking, the continental hats in various colors being ornamented with huge rosettes in contrasting shades. The broad sashes. the regulation epau- lettes, the gold crosses of honor. in con- trast to the conventional evening dress worn by the gentlemen made resplen- dent picture It was like a scene at one of the embassies when the army is repre- sented with all it's military insignia
 Many of the tissue paper costumes worn by the young women, as well as the figures introduced by the cotillon leaders were described yesterday. Mr.

YESTERDAYS EVENTS IN
 GAY WORLD OF SOCIETY

I Chears of Savannah. leading with Miss Nixon, and MT. H. B. B. Yergason lead- ing with Miss Canister, introduced sev- eral figures that made the cotillon dis tinctive. Much of the success of the evening was due to Mir. Chears and MT. Yergason An especially beautiful figure was the whip figure, which, although danced here on other occasions, was adopted somewhat differently by these cotillon leaders. The whips were decorated with long streamers of different colors, and the maypole dance was concluded by matching the colors. In the word match ing figure, many ingenious ideas were n- troduced. Plaeards were pinned on those forming the figure. On each placard was word which required another placard to complete the meaning. Some of the words were: "Uneeda - Biscuit" Happy Jim" Gee - Whiz," Brandy and - Soda" ivory Soap
 - It Floats" the placards being matched as the figure progressed.
 The cotillon was danced in the large hall and the dining room beyond and the stringed orchestra being stationed in the conservatory at the end of the dining room.
 The ingenuity of Birmingham's young society women was in evidence in the many beautiful costumes.
 Miss DeBardeleben was pronounced one of the most beautifully costumed girls of the evening. She was like French beau- ..s,,1, used effectively as panels. Lilac peoples were combined with chiffon on the waist, and added distinction to her large hat She carried huge lilac huff tied with big bow of lilac ribbon. There was a diaphanous beauty about the whole toil- cite.
 Miss Canister was a very distinctive figure in black, which accentuated her blond beauty. and distinguishing touch was given in the red carnations.
 Miss Lanier was like Dresden Shep- erdess, all poniard and pink roses mass ed on her Disectaine hat. It was a pink and white costume made with a watteau.
 Miss Moody was a statuesque beauty in pink, her picture hat of pink roses.
 Miss Annie Jemison's effective costume was pronounced one of the most effective of the evening, and suiting well her bril- liant brunette beauty. Her costume was trimmed with holly, it's red berries and dark green foliage being very distinctive.
 Miss Caroline Chisolm looked charming in costume of black trimmed with sun flowers, a most effective costume
 Miss Bessie Jemison was like an eXquis- ite painting in pale lilac, the founces bordered with velvety violets, and her violet hat completing this artistic cos tune.
 Miss Nabb wore a most becoming cos tune trimmed with scarlet and peoples.
 Miss Lucille Lane suggested a charming water color in her costume of delicate blue trimmed with forget me nots.
 Miss Cornelia Jones wore an effective costume of pink.

Edyfh Walkers Triumph
 In Her Own Country.

The Birmingham friends of Edyth Wal ker the American singer who made her debut in Aida on Monday evening in New York, will be interested in the fol- lowing account from the New York Journal of her brilliant success. Miss Walker and Miss Rowley of Brming- ham, the director of the Academy of Music, studied together in Dresden. and the warmest friendship exists between them:
 "Verdi's Aida received a surprisingly fine production at the Metropolitan lhea- Ire last night. which. aside from it's har- monious entirety, presented most inter- esting special features.
 First of these of interest to New York CTS and Americans generally was the de- but of Edyth Walker, a tall and sta tely goleen-haired girl of Gotham. who has come home from Europe laden with great honors-aehievem of such char aeter that it placed her as a favorite and official court singer of Emperor Trans Josef of Austria"
 There is much else of fine romantic glamor. too, in the story of her struggle dnFpdu Wnlle receiving neT euucdllOn Wlln the master teachers of Europe.
 She went to Europe with her own earn ings. But just at the point of her musical education where she was turning the fin- shing time, her finances ran low. In des- peration the girl wrote to a wealthy Am erican. who was then staying in Vienna. She did not know him other than as i.- rsl
 His response was the prompt mailing to her of a check for Sl00o, the amount she had said would be necessary for her to complete her studies.
 He made only the condition that she should conceal his name from any public ity
 Last night Miss Walkers benefactor prepared to witness in her own land the triumph of the plucky girl that he had helped.
 And he did witness her achievement of most absolute triumph. He saw her smiling eyes and parted lips, breathing a little rapidly in the happy emotion of receiving thunderous call upon call from a brilliant audience of those of her own land
 Even had it been otherwise her recep- tion could have been little less enthusias- tic for Miss Walker showed herself the possessor of a superb mezzo soprano voice of warmth of temperament and dramatic force and trained perception. Hers was the role of Amneri's and most deservedly sba shared the honors of tho nipht with Mme. Gadski in the title role of Aida. The prlma donna repeated the favorable impressions she had created.
