 Strong forces of police and soldiers guarded the building when the sepators deliberated, armed guards being placed at all entrances and even on the roof. No one was allowed to enter or leave the building until the court had reached its decision. On the announcement of the verdict on the streets there was bois- terous demonstration, several hundred persons crying, Long live Nasi."
 The severest measures have been adopt ed to preserve order in Sicily, Signor Nasi being Sicilian and very popular with all his people. A large number of men who are considered dangerous by the po- lice in the present emergency have been arrested.

PRETTY WOMEN PLAY
 BRIDGE WHIST.

Mrs. Bradley Saunders gave a bridge party yesterday afternoon in compliment to Mrs. Edward Butt of Atlanta, the guest of Mrs. Barrett. The occasion was both beautiful and brilliant assembling be- tween 50 and 70 guests in the palm room of the Hillman.
 Mrs. Saunders, one of the smartest hos tesses in society, was beautifully gowned in black embroidered chiffon over a charming French shade of purple. Mrs. Butt, one of the most admired of the vis- with d black picture hat
 Appropriate to the season there were George Washington score cards, and the details of the party made it picturesque and interesting.
 The consolation was drawn from wreaths of bright-tinted cherries and hatchets were also tied with ribbon in the American colors, and they made a showy and decorative effect.
 All of the prizes were of cut glass of an exquisite cut, and included superb set of cut glass tumblers, large pitcher and a beautiful bowl. The fortunate winners were Mrs. William Worthington, Mrs. Walter c. Phillips and Mrs. Harry Jones, the latter drawing the consolation. The hostess presented Mrs. Butt with 8 cut glass compete.
 While the palm garden presented such an interesting scene, with the many groups of beautifully gowned women seat ed at the tables, 1t was even more so xNh nt ha a1o nf ha gar of the hostesses friends who did not play bridge came into the palm room and joined the other guests, who were then having luncheon.
 A delicious hot luncheon was served and later the guests went into the Turkish room for coffee.
 Among those seen in the palm room were Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Maben, Mrs. liar kell, Mrs Barrett. Mrs. Grider, Mrs. Full enwider Mrs. Frances DeBardeleben, Mrs. J. L. Drennen, Mrs. Eugene Brown, Mrs. Frank Fowll1es, Mrs. Bruce Brewer, Mrs. Harry Jones.

ANTI-BELLUM LUNCHEON
 AT ROSEMONT.

Among Birmingham hostesses who en- certain amid the elegance and richness of family heirlooms that mean 8 wealth of happy memories is Mrs. Samuel Will John, who had a few friends at a beau. tiful luncheon at Rosemont Owing to her mourning, Mrs John has entertained only informally, and has declined invita- tions this winter.
 Few hostesses are provided with so much that is historic and ornamental in table decorations. Rare china, cut glass, old mahogany, old silver. and the finest of linen, all descended to her from her own family, made her luncheon table re- splendent, and revived memories of golrious period of social life, interesting to her guests and doubly dear and sacred to her, each relic speaking of dear and adored past fragrant with the memories of those who bequeathed these old treas ures to her.
 The table, of the old-fashioned width, at which the guests were seated was of old mahogany, in use in her family for sew eral generations. The linen cover was of the richest texture and looked as if It had been kept in cedar chest. In the center was a candelabra of solid silver, and at each end of the table were single candle sticks of colonial design. White tapers burned in them. The old-fashioned candle shades, in vogue in our grandmothers day, were the crownlng touch in the collection of heirlooms. They were of cut glass. These glass shades are con- sidered exceedingly rare by collectors. No colonial woman would have existed with out them, and present-day owners value them for their beauty and their associa- tions. The place plates were afetr de- sign of the Benjamin Franklin period.
 The hostess idea for the menu was that 1t should suggest an ante-bellum dinner. The luncheon was opened by drinking toasts in delicious cider. And at the ap- propriate time, from the mysteries of the big kitchen at Rosemont a large coun- try-cured ham, beautifully and evenly browned, was placed before the hostess. The desert was also served by her, and large cake, excessively ornamented.

Are You Sick?

Much sickness is due to a weak nervous system. Yours may be. If it is, you cannot get well until you restore nerve strength Your nervous system is nature's power house; the organs of your body get their power from it. If the power is not there, the action of the organs is weak, and disease (sick- ness) follows. Dr. Miles Nervine cures the sick because it soothes the irritated and tired nerves and gives the system a chance to recuperate. Try it, and see if you do not quickly feel it's bene- ficial effect.
