NOTES OF THE WEEK IN THE SOCIAL WORLD Weather InterfereS With May
 Day Fete VERY PICTURESQUE EVENT Was Planned for Young Women Grad uatea Who Expected to Give May
 Pole Dance In the Beautiful
 Gardens at the BoWrons.

O OCIETY has grown to anticipate the
 May day fetes which for several A[ years have been held in the beau tiful gardens of Mr. and Mrs. James Bow ron. and which are always so charming and picturesque in the lovliest of settings.
 Following one of the prettiest of GUS toms, that of holding commencement eX- ereises on the green, so long in favor In England and at colleges in the north, Mrs. Bowron had arranged for a celebration the past week into which would enter the many attractive features of a typical out door commencement, the occasion being the graduating exercises of the training school of the Birmingham Free Kinder gartens.
 The continued indictment weather, how ever interfered with alfreseo features and the guests were deprived of a scene, the loveiiness of which can be well im- agined by picturing a May pole dance par ticipated in by a group of young women.
 The occasion was made most delightful, although the plans had to be changed at the last moment, and a brilliant and m teresting audience witnessed the presen- tation of the diplomas which took place in the drawing rooms. Mrs. J. H. Phil lips, president of the board, presented the diplomas, her informal talk to the young women being inspired by her great per sonal interest in the world, and what was charmingly evident by the individuality of the young women themselves.
 Mrs. Phillips, in speaking of the diff women of today, placed that of the kindergarten at the head.
 The young women graduates were MISS Edith Rumph, Miss Turner, Miss Emma Ewing, Miss Locke, the latter of Greens boro Miss Drew, who has been the su- pervisor of the kindergartens for the past two years, was present at the closing exercises, and the guests included many representative people, The members or the kindergarten board assisted in reeeiv- ing.
 The beautiful and artistic presentation of the Tempest by the pupils Of the BIT ming-ham High school on Thursday even ing has been the subject of much favor able comment. This charming comedy' appealing so strongly to the imagination was acted in such manner dS lo Ao- fleet great credit upon the participants. In the staging, costumes and reading or the lines the performance was a truthful interpretation.
 In addition to the splendid work of the principals, of whom previous mention has been made, the acting of MT. Joseph John, who appeared in the role of Tinculo, the jester, and of Miss Emily Somerville, as Ariel, deserve special recognition. The role of the jester was admirably played, while Miss Somerville in her charming and delicate role reminded many Of An nie Russell in the role of Puck.
 Miss Eugenia Weatheriy King, who with Miss Ira Bradfield, did such fine work in the production of the Tempest, as well as the brilliant young cast, deserve un- stinted praise.
