X. P. LODGE GRATEFUL

The play, Damon and Pythias,
staged on the night of February
Ia, by Tucumcari Lodge No. 29,
Knights of Pythias, was in every
detail a grand success. The lodge
is proud of the efforts OF every
member of the cast, and our UNI
bounded gratitude goes out to them
for the splendid services thus rem
dered our lodge. We consider 1t
the greatest advertisement the or
der could have had, and therefore
the undersigned committee, on be-
half of the lodge, respectfully sub
nit the following resolutions:
Whereas, This lodge has for a
year past been laboring under a
heavy burden of indebtedness, and
that this play was given for the
purpose OF relieving the same, and
that the results have been so graft
flying ; Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the thanks and
unlimited gratitude of it's member
ship be extended to every individ-
ual who in any way contributed to
the successful conclusion of the
drama /;
And furthermore, to the business
men and citizens who patron
izod the program, which was gotten
out for the benefit of the lodge.
We have met with a friendly re-
ception and an open hand from the
people of Tucumcari, and it is a
principle of Pythianism not to for
get a friend.
And furthermore, be it resolved,
that We especially appreciate the
consideration shown and the aid
given by those Of the cast who were
not members of our lodge; namely,
Augustus Warren of Alamogordo,
who played the part of Pythias so
we'll; Jack Pillow, that Of Lucullus;
F. X. Addleman, the part of Phil
l%istius; Miss Preston, the part
of Aria, and Miss Bessie Moore,
who covered herself with glory in
the part of Calanthe.

tons, Mrs. +. X. Addleman. in

ton, and little Ann Russell, in the
monologue of Damon and Pythias

ually, every member of the orches.
tra--the lodge is grateful to you
all.
And be it further resolved, tina
acopy OF these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of the lodge
given the local papers for publica
ton, and a copy furnished eacf

Southern club is old, indeed, the oldest organization of it's kind in the city. A new feature, however, was added sev- eral years ago in the cafe which was built in the basement of the brick edi- flee on Fifth avenue that has been the home of the club for a longer period. On formal occasions this is an apart ment that adds much to the spacious ness and comfort of the building. There are only a few evenings during the year when the club is thrown open to throng of guests, the two formal functions being on Thanksgiving eve brilliant reception-and New Years Day, a dance. Last winter among the most charming events of the season were the afternoon card parties to which the wives and young lady friends of the members were invited.
 On all such occasions the cafe is thrown open and a collation. served day never passes, however, that some small party is not seen lunching within its quiet confines. The members to whom alone its doors are open fre- quently are accompanied by guests, among whom are Birmingham's society girls. On Sunday evenings there is all ways a large gathering of the fash ionable set. An exquisite musical pro- gramme is rendered by an orchestra
  a setting which is as elegant as may be found in any club in the south
 The Country club, one of the most pie turesque buildings in the city, is the center of the most charming and gracious hospitality It is splendidly adapted to the exercise of an abundant and graceful hospitality which has made it in the years of it's existence one of the most promi- nent and necessary factors in Birming- ham s social life.
 The spacious grounds whereon golf and tennis devotees may play at will, the fresh green lawns and broad verandas which make it an alluring spot during the long days of a summer in town have added to the delightful aspect of repose which rules within the quaint house to make of 1t a popular rendezvous for tho smart set
 Saturday evenings the club is the scene of a brilliant gathering. The dinner dance lures many of the club members and their friends. Gay automobile parties stop at the club for chat and dinner. On Sunday evening the living room and cafe again present brilliant scene. An or chestra plays a beautifully selected pro gramme during three hours beginning at i I o'clock. On one Wednesday afternoon ! each month a musicale which Is alwaN 8 | attended by a number of those in the ] smart circles adds to the charm of club

FIVE O'CLOCK TEAS AT THE GOLD LloN-TERRAcE COURT TO BE FORMALLY DEFINED - SOCIAL HAPPENINGS - ENGAGEMENTS ANNOUNc EMENTS.

Tomorrow afternoon will occur one of the daintest events of the week when Mrs. E. G. Stevens opens the Gold Lion tea room formally for the winter with an afternoon tea from 3 to , o'clock.
 This is one of the prettiest places in the downtown district tucked away as 1t is in a secluded corner-the First National Bank building. separated from and yet accessible to the busting activ- ity of the main entrance. Mrs Stevens has made of it an attractive place i'.deed during the past year She has hosts Of friends who have gathered there for monday luncheon and many have made of it a meeting place for chatting over hurried business matters. In the cen ter of the shopping section 1t has become popular with Birmingham women. A number of parties enjoyed a hurried luncheon during the week before going to the matinee, still others were groups of jolly folk going to the circus. Mrs. Stevens achieves success in everything that she attempts and the announcements last week that table d'hote dinners would
 
 the convenience of theatregoers met with a prompt response. The cafe was fes- lively aTayed each evening and a gay scene it presented with the softly tinted lights beaming over the groups of daint- fly gowned women who with their es- corts were seen throughout the hour and a half allotted to them before they must hurry away to the opera. These will be continued throughout the sea- son and that they will be a success is unquestioned.
 When Mrs. Stevens returned from the east a short time ago she was enthu- siastic over her plans for the winter. In New York and Boston she visited the most fashionable of the tea rooms af- fected by the smart set and gathered many charming ideas, which will be adapted to the needs of the Gold Lion this season. One of her most fetching plans is the use of the tea cart. One was brought with her from the east. It is fascinating-just a cart, and nothing more. but its use is the quantest scheme imaginable. It is modelled of dark oak and on the lightest possible lines. There are trays of glass, which may be adjust

delightful Halloween party last evening in compliment to MT. James Cozby Long and Miss Josephine Minor. The spirit of the times was evident from the moment the guests entered the residence. Within was a dim glow cast by scores jack O. lanterns placed in mysterious and unex- pected places. These furnished the only light for the assemblage.
 At the door the guests were met by mysterious personages in ghosts raiment, who mysteriously conducted them across an obstructing broom to their re- spective apartments. The young women ascending a stair lighted at each column by a jolly jack O lantern-six in all. After gathering together in the darkened hall each threw a ball of cord below stairs which being caught by the waiting group below and followed disclosed the part ners for the first contest. Favors used in the contest were ordered for the oc- casion from Salem, the witches town. Those used in the first-a Cheshire cat contest in which smiles were measured being pretty stick pins. Silver cats with green eyes were the ornaments. Other favors were stick pins in the half moon, witch and broomstick design. Among the other amusing features were a fate" cake, curtain hung with apples and fortune teller
 A quaint contest arranged in the dining room required that tne guests ISn TOT their fortunes. Paper wrapped in tin- foil revealed the future.
 Punch was served with a gourd from bowl cunningly hidden in a pumpkin and refreshments of the style suggesting old Salem town were dispersed
 Miss Tardy was unusually pretty in a. dainty pink princess frock. Miss Minor, her guest of honor. was a picture of girl ish beauty in a lavender empire gown trimmed with embroidered flowers.
 At the witching hour the party dis persed, taking with them as souvenirs, tiny jack O lanterns lighted to frighten the witches away.
 At the baby show given at Our Lady of Sorrows church bazaar the following babies were awarded the prizes: Margaret Carney won the prize for the finest baby girl; John Patrick Cunningham the finest baby boy; Lucille Plaisance the finest b. months-old baby.

A CORNER OF THE TER RAGE COURT CAFE.

noted for the informality and elegance of it's hospitality.
 A favorite haunt of Birmingham bus ness men at monday is the Woman's Exchange which has for a number of years retained its popularity because of efficient rnanag ement and the appeal OF a worthy cause. Many of the lawyers and those In the vicinity of the court house take advantage of its convenience every day and others have formed the habit of coming from a greater distance and lunchng in the quiet basement room. There are always a number of women too who like the quiet of the place.
 The exchange has the interest of every one who understands its object. The plan is philanthropic and through it's me- dium women O. certain class are as- sisted in a noble way. There are a number of cultured refined and lovely women whose means are limited and who must, by their own toll, add something to their incomes. Many must do this and remain at home because of cares there. The scope for such women is small indeed and the exchange has made it possible for them to accomplish much. Fine needlework, embroidery and the end- less varieties of sewing besides breads, cakes and other delicacies from the hands of those skilled in the culinary art, find a ready sale at the exchange and yet they may be done at home by the woman
 who is unable for various reasons to earn money for herself and possibly her chil-
 dren, publicly This is one of the most
 beautiful philanthropic schemes in a
 city of splendid works Miss Jennie Wal
 ters has been in charge of affairs since
 the beginning. A group of the most
 prominent women in Birmingham lend their efforts toward the success of the . exchange, some of whom are associated with various philanthropic movements m the city. Miss Annie Williams is presi-
 dent of the board of directors and Mrs.
 Frank Y. Anderson vice president. Mrs.
 P. H. Lallande is secretary. Other mem , bers of the board are Mrs. J. D. Kirk ] patrick, Mrs David Roberts, Mrs. Henry ! lTden, Mrs. Preston Means, Mrs. s. E.. ] Thompson, Mrs Rufus N Rhodes Mrs. i John M. London and Mrs. Thomas Hop | kins. Their meetings take place once a ! month when plans for the welfare of ! the organization are discussed.
 The cafe is the principal means of sup i port for the organization as only ten 1 per cent of the proceeds from the sale | of articles is required of members. Mem 1 bers pay nominal sum for the privileges l of the exchange Hence the cafe, like
 other features of the institution, is phil
 anthropic in it's nature. It is simple, 1 quiet place which many have found at | tractive
