 The picturesque club house presented a brilliant and beautiful scene in it's holi- day dress. Myriad lights shone upon sur roundings that have been compared by many to the picturesque inns of England and softened the brilliance of the Christi mas decorations, making the entire pie ture one of resplendent beauty. :

 The opening of the cotllon was marked by the lighting of the Yule log, the pie turesque old English custom and was effected in a unique and pleasing manner four colored men bringing 1t in and sing ing as they placed 1t in the large fire- place.
 Christmas time, Christmas time, We all come together, in wintry weather, Once again, down the lane
 With our Yule log
 Stars are bright, Christmas right; Christmas time coming, everybody hum-
 ming,
 Once again; once again,
 Christmas comet
 Let 1t burn, let 1t burn
 Burn up brightly, sparks dancing lightly Carefully, carefully Keep it blazing.
 Tend it welll Who can tell
 When it's failing; o, keep it burning At Christmas time; at Christmas time Keep the Yule log burning.
 The cotillon was led by MT. Jelks Cab aniss and Miss Marjorie Weatherly
 Favors were used only on the last figure of the cottillon. At this point a typical Christmas scene was enacted, a snow storm being effected by the fall of masses of confetti in a pretty whirl. Christi mas bells were given to the gentlemen and Christmas tree ornaments for the hair were the favors received by the young women.
 There has never been a more beauti- ful Christmas entertainment in Birming- ham than the one given last night. In every detail the Yuletide spirit was sug- gested. The small dining room was cano- pied in white. Poinsetta blossoms made a vivid centerpiece for the table which was covered with scarlet, showing under meath white lace. In the main dining room garlands of holly festooned the walls and mistletoe draped the chan deliers.
 Coffee and sandwich tables were orna- mented with red carnations, while Christ mas bells glowed in every Conceivable place.
 The ball. room was also place of beau ty. Here holly and mstletoe were used in profusion. A large red wheel was a decoration full of meaning. Representing the wheel of time it symbolized the thought of the ancients that the world turns back on the Fist of December which we know as the shortest day in the year. It hung in the center of the room and from 1t radiated green garlands and Christmas bells, and 1t was ornamented with a cluster of lights.
