SOCIETY DURING
LENTEN SEASON
MuSicaIeS and Brilliant Lectures
Have Been Planned
NOTES HERE AND THERE
Ash Wednesday Brought ouietude In
the Gay World and There Will
Be But Little Entertaining
Until After Easter.

ENT seems to be the time selecteo
for muslcales and lectures. 1t is
- the only season when people have
time for things, and they welcome ooth
the musicales and the lectures.
Among the lectures already announced
are those to be given by DR.. Richard
Burton, Of the University of Chicago. The
lectures will be under the auspices of the
Woman's council, the first lecture to be
given March &C. and the second March q
The two remaining lectures will be given
April and 3. All of the lectures will
be given in the auditorium of the High
school. i.I
A musicale is announced for the even
ing of March q In the auditorium of the
High school, at which the Treble Clef
club will give its first entertainment OF
the winter. The club has engaged Nine
shotwen-Piper, a vocalist of high repu-
tation whose appearance in Birmingham
will be one of the notable events of the
season.
The preceding concerts given by the
club were complimentary, but for the ap-
preaching concert an admission of one
dollar will be charged The Treble Clef
has now a fine membership of about thir-
ty-fve and has done serious work this
winter, for under the leadership OF Mrs.
Gussen each member has been inspired to
conscientious work.
A work that will be presented on the
evening of the concert is most ambitious,
"Hawthorne and Lavendar," and is ire
mendously effective with its dramatic
chorus and tuneful solos.
The club hopes to be able to give am
bilious concerts every season, and other
plans are for an associate membership,
which will put the club on more dig
nihed, useful basis and do much towards
stimulating musical culture.
Z In connection with the announcement
that Nine Shotwell-Piper will be heard
in this city, the following from Musical
America viii be of general INTEREST,"
Mime. Shotwell- Piper is prominent as
one of the leading American dramatic
Sopranos on account of her concert work
with many wel-known organizations COW
ering many years. Since 1898, when she
first won fame at the big New England
music festivals, she has been signally
successful, and her recent appearance in
oratoro show in what manner she is re-
garded by those who make up program
mes. With a face of unusual beauty and
a voice of remarkable strength, purity
and range, she is everywhere a welcome
acquisition. She is best known for her
work with the Damrosch and Thomas or
chestras. Tours with the latter of these
organizations and extended concert trips
have brought her conspieuously into pub
lie notice.
Mime. Piper is of southern birth and
breeding, being a granddaughter of Ed
ward Asbury O'Neal, former governor OF
Alabama while her father distinguished
himself as a Confederate colonel. She
spent her childhood in St Louis, and
there began her musical education, study

Under property rights, controlling the
joint ownership by the two conferences
of Alabama, the buildings and grounds
occupied and owned by the Alabama
Methodist orphanage at Summerfield'
Ala, could not without much delay and
possibly some friction be exchanged for
city property
The management of the orphanage
must occupy as best they can the old
college building, either with or without
repair; with comfort and safety, or with
out comfort and at personal risk. The
safety of the children demand certain
improvements that cannot honestly be
longer delayed Not only the health, but
the lives of the little ones gathered In
the home" insist upon immediate pro-
