charming surprises seems endless. The home of MT. and Mrs. Mark Lewis lends to the variety so prevalent along the avenue. It is different from any other on the boulevard, with its broad, square lines, accentuated by the square in which the wide green house is developed. The interior is strilsingly artistic and rich. The green and gold drawing room, with its furniture and decorations suggesting the period when Louis XIV ruled in France, seems a fitting place for the bewtching beauty of it's lovely chatelaine Indeed, Mrs. Lewis recalls the days of the French empire or suggests the Empress Josephine by her queenly beauty and grace. An attractive neighboring room to the salon is the dining room, with its dark wood relieved by the tones of crm- son and gold in the walls and draperies. Surrounding the house is the lawn with a drive and porte cochere on the right. Opposite Is the wooded section reserved for the sunken park, which will be con- structed by the city at some future date. Then tiie outlook from the homes opposite will indeed be restful and lovely.
 Near by is the palatial colonial home Of MT. and Mrs s. M. Adler, which will be occupied this winter by MT. and Mrs. Otto Marx. Adjoining the Adler resi- dence is the handsome stone house of MT. M V. Joseph. The two homes are at- tractive in such different respects that one might class them as foils to each other.
 At curve in the boulevard, on Twen- ty-third street, there are two homes that invariably arrest the attention of the pass ersby The home of MT. and Mrs. Charles O. Locke, and one which was erected by Mr. and Mrs. John M. Cald- well adjoining it, but now occupied py MT. and Mrs. Hopkins, are distinguished for their symmetry and their harmony with each other. The two large lawns Ere as one and kept smooth and green Co,ias. with their bright-colored leaves give a dash of brilliance to the quiet green. MT. Locke's home is constructed Of yellow brick and cement of modern archi- lecture. The Caldwell place is brown stone.
 Just beyond the turn, and where the avenue again widens Is the home Of Mrs. B. c. Johnson, the sister of MT. Caldwell.
 The house is most original in character

 place that is universally admired is the white marble residence of MT. and Mrs. Eugene F. Enslin. The ex- terior Is entirely of Talladega marble, to which the only touch of color is added by the broad, dark green globes which ornament some of the columns. The same effect of elegance and good taste prevails within.
 MT and Mrs George w. Harris and MT. and Mrs. R. $. Warner occupy the two charming gray stone structures ad- Joining the Enslin home. Though sim liar in design, the dwellings are yet distinctive in certain details ref1ecting the individuality of their inmates. Mrs. Enslin Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Warner are sisters.
 Among the many winds and turns of the machine which seems to revel in the smoothness of its way, past little grass plots clipped to a velvety smooth ness, that the car tracks may be pret- " enough to pass this way, we ad- vance to other points evidencing the skill Of the accomplished homemaker round In every quarter in our city's growth. Another curve brings us to one of the most attractive corners along the avenue. Twenty-seventh street Is beautifed by the stucco house of Mir. and Mrs. Charles A. Stillman and its picturesque surroundings modern of moderns is this dainty cot tage, It's wide porch and porte cochere giving the most gracious welcome for man and his tired steed. There are lew lawns in the city so uniformly ar tistic as is this one, from the front with it's bright color near the house to the back yard where ivy clings to the surrounding wall and flowers ana colored leaves of bright-hued plants give gay aspect to an altogether 1as. cinating exterior there is pleasant foretaste of the delightful charm tnat rules within. Here is indeed the per feet home. The living room may pc separated from an adjoining sittink room by the closing of wide folding doors. but thrown together they sus- gest one large apartment.

fascinating alike to our own people and strangers from afar.
 Miss Louise Neville was the attractive hostess yesterday afternoon at a delight ful porch party in honor of her guest, Miss Mary Henderson of Mountain Creek A number of Miss Neville's friends called during the late afternoon, lending an aspect of daintiness and charm in soft lingerie gowns and dainty hats, to the porch and charming apartment, where the hostess and her lovely guest of honor received. A frozen punch and ices were dispensed.
 The wedding of Miss Ida Teresa Carl ton and Mr. William Jefferson Wynn took place Friday evening at the home of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. David Carlton, BOP Avenue F. and was a quiet affair, the bride and bridegroom being un- attended and only relatives being present. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. D. Ray of the Calvary Baptist church.
 This announcement will be read with much interest by the wide circle of friends of both the bride and groom. Mrs. Wynn has resided in Birmingham for number of years, having graduated from the High school with the class of 1908.
 MT. Wynn, who is native Georgian is a promising young attorney in this city. He is a graduate of Mercer college in Georgia and of the Yale law school, the latter from which he graduated with honors, winning the first prize in scholar ship and the Townsend oration prize,
 The young couple will reside in their own home, 1909 Bradley street, north.
 The following item, clipped from the Indianapolis Star one day this week, will be of interest to the many who sped MT. Wimberleys party on their departure two weeks ago:
 An automobile party of Birmingham ar- rived in Indianapolis late yesterday after noon and registered at the Claypool hotel.
 "I am dead tired after this long trip,'' said pretty woman as she alighted from the machine 'I don't want to move for the next three days
 The party will remain in Indianapolis until the tourists are thoroughly rested.
 In the party are T. F. Wimberley, Wal

being built of white frame, to which a rustic touch is added in a combination with rough stones
 Proceeding along the avenue, splendid estate meets the eye. It is the magnih- cent home of Mir and Mrs. J. H. Wood- ward. The spacious terraces were built with consummate skill rising higher at the one side than the other, and with fascl- hating lack of precision. Over the whole scene a grateful shade is spread by the tall trees with their leafy branches. On the last high terrace Is the great house standing a place of light among the cool shadows of surrounding trees
 A strikingly handsome colonial design of the Corinthian order of architecture is the newly completed house of MT. and Mrs. J. Hubert Scruggs It is residence Of unusual beauty suggesting the days of the old south The exterior is constructed or red pressed brick combined with white stone and tile Within, the effect IS charming The finish is all of hardwood, the floors being particularly lovely. The walls are artistically decorated, the work evidently of an expert. MT. and Mrs. Scruggs have occupies their new home only two weeks. Already however. 1t re- fleets the personality of the winsome little woman who is never more attractive than as hostess in the particular nook which shelters her.

The color scheme is green and gold, and the fur nishings mahogany with russet leather, the color note being accentuated in the decorations of rose and green. The mahogany mantelpiece extends to the ceiling. The drawing room is one or the loveliest in the city. It is large square apartment, papered with inn ported gold tecco. The furnishings are of tapestry and gold leaf. In the dining room there is a quiet dignity suggested in the massive oaken fur niture of the English type, with sur

best. It its a creamy white and stands on it's high terrace overlooking the thor oughfare. The colonial plan is followed in the interior also. Broad halls pass through the house, both on the first and second floors. The distinctive feature of the entrance hall Is the stairway, which is unusually beautiful and an example of the massive style so popular in the south. At the foot of the stairway stands a huge clock. It was made in London from a very old model and lends a pie turesqueness to strikingly handsome in terior. The drawing room is furnished is1 colonial mahogany. Two noticeable or naments here are vases of the period of the First Consul in France, which were brought to this country by wealthy New Orleans planter. There are some old paintings, too, of an early period in France. The room opposite the drawing room in this house of square lines Is a large library, which is considered one Of the best collections of reference books to be found in any Birmingham home This leads to a charming reading room and study, whose dull tones in walls and furnishings produce a feeling of peace and rest.
 Another residence that has been pro- ductive of enthusiastic exclamations from those enjoying an afternoon drive along the popular boulevard is the Spanish cottage of MT. and Mrs. George What ley. This suggests old Mexico and Spain, and presents, too, pleasant aspect of comfort and cheer.
 The course of the drive brings innum- erable beautiful homes to view, many all ready completed and others in varying stages of growth. Just off the avenue glimpses may be had of streets which boast gems of architecture. Iroquois, Linden, Bazuma and many others. At Halls avenue ones eye is caught by view of the Country club at a little dis tance which was never prettier than now, and further by such attractive feat ures as the residence of MT. P. G. Bow man, with it's broad park in front. It is the winding course of the boulevard, its height on the one side and adaptability to the sunken garden on the other, which has given it name and fame beyond our own city. The selection of the best in the types of other periods and countries for combination in our Birmingham homes has made the dwellings themselves places

of the avenue is occupied by the charm ing home of MT and Mrs Louis Saks. Its location is admirable and 1le house is eminently suited to so magnificent a lot.
 As the automobile glides along it's way the only disappointment to mar the pleas ure of a stranger enjoying this boule- ward for the first time, is his inability to see leisurely enough sights that must be viewed closely to be enjoyed to the full. A passing glimpse of so much that is charming leaves a delighted impress sion and to one interested in art IS well as in nature, not only the topography of the avenue and its natural beauty, but the varied styles of it's suceessiols of beautiful homes is a thing to cause the deepest feeling of aesthetic satisfaction. One notes even in the hurry of spinning past, the attractive and home-like dwell- ing of MT. and Mrs. John L. Parker. It stands on a corner of Twenty-second street and is a model of cheer and ele- gance.
 On another corner of Twenty-second street ones attention is arrested by a res idence which has been, pronounced one of the most perfect in the south. It is the home of Col and Mrs. T. G. Bush The
 
 races are shaded with trees placed artis- tically among ornamental shrubbery. The flower garden is not visible in the cur sory glance that the motorist is permit ted, but a closer view shows it to be one of many strong attractions However, it is the house here that has received the most enthusiastic comments. One feels on entering as though some good fairy has waved a gracious wand and transported her faithful follower to ''Merrie England' and there left her approaching one of the loveliest of her castles. Yellow bricks are employed in turret and tower to give the old English effect and the illusion con- tinues within, except that loyalty to the present day customs and usages does not permit one forgetfulness in the gracious charm that reigns in the presence of Mir. and Mrs. Bush and their lovely sister, Miss Williams that this is all in the pres ent and the past is as nought.
 As one advances, the succession of

Across the avenue from the Stillman home is the spacious colonial residence of MT. and Mrs. T. c. Thompson. It is one of the most perfect types of the colonial period, placed in the center of a wide lawn at pleasant distance from the entrance and with an attractive ce- ment driveway on the side. The idea of space rules within, vast lengths marking the distance from drawing room across the wide hall through the
 sitting room opposite. Another at tractive room is the library, and in the basement is a large ball room. A guest in the Thompson home almost feels transported to the antebellum days, seeing on every hand so many remind CTS of that early date. The style of architecture with a mahogany finish within, does not alone suggest the stateliness of the period, but the effect is enhanced by many bits of ancestral furniture, which, if they could speak, would tell quaint tales of those days is the spinning wheel recalling the days when my lady proudly wove with h CT own fair hands, the cloth for some soldier boy gone to the war, and dating further, even, the valuable Chippen- dale card table not so old, however, as the claw-foot sofa which is the center of much picturesque history. Oldest of all, however, is the what not" that prim receptacle of little treasures without which no drawing room of the old days was quite com plete.

At an ideal spot, where the course makes another of it's sweeping turns, Is the house of MT. and Mrs. Culpepper Exum, towering high above the lots on the other side and bringing into view house whose spacious beauty gives it claim enough to prominence. The grounds are approached by a tall flight of stone steps and are a striking example of what may be done with a well-sodded lawn. In the rear of the house may be seen the two servants cottages, and the garage, alike in design and matching in color the deep red of the Exum home. This is one of the places built on broad, straight lines, which suggest comfort and free dom of welcome and cheer. The founda- tion and broad veranda are constructed of brown stone. This home has been the scene of many gay parties since its erection not long since Hospitality reigns there supreme and there is not a more gracious young hostess in Bir- mingham than the lovely Mrs. Exum. no more genial host than he.
 The residence of MT. and Mrs. J. w. Donnelly between Monroe and Iroquois streets is one of the handsomest of the new residences along the avenue. It is built of pressed brick, with trimmings of white, and colonial in character. The interior is magnificent The floors down.
 
 all hardwood. The wide hall gathers majesty from the central stairway, a massive structure of Flemish wood The living room on one side of the entrance is immense. The drawing room Is strict ly colonial and the dining room an attrac- tive place with it's round windows. MT. and Mrs. Donnelly have travelled a great deal in foreign countries and the treas ures gathered in their wanderings add much to the attractiveness of their home.
 house that will stand the ravages of time and preserve it's appearance, both of freshness and stability, is that of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Kaul It oc- cupies one of the most attractive cor ners along the avenue, and is observed of every passerby. It is built of brick and combines the colonial with English features. The porch is perfect. Broad enough almost for a ballroom, it has been the envy of many who in our land of balmy breezes have made the mis- take in building of giving too little at- tention to that important adjunct
 Another colonial home built recently is that of Mr. and Mrs. Sumter Bethea, an example of colonial architecture at it's
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-16

Lovely new homes follow in quick sue cession now. There is the artistic cot tage of MT. and Mrs. s. E. Thompson, part of which is built of the rough stones so adaptable to originality in design. The place belongs to no period but rather sug- gests the Swiss chalet. It has been very much admired. Across the avenue Is the pretty home of MT. and Mrs. Eugene Brown. It is a brown frame structure, with a large part of its exterior decorat- ed with rouble stones. A feature that has attracted enthusiastic admiration is the large sun parlor at the rear of the house on Iroquois street. The next house to that of MT. and Mrs. Brown is of sim liar design, rococo in type, is the resi- dence of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Fowlkes, which is also one of the attractive places along the avenue. MT. and Mrs. Zac NabeFs are erecting a palatial residence in the same neighborhood. It will be completed in the autumn and is said to be one of the handsomest homes in the city. It is in the style of the Italian Renaissance. Near is the home of Mrs. Florence Jordan, a white colonial resi- dence among exquisitely pretty surround ings. The lawn is a model of care and there are lovely flowers which, with their bright colors are especially decorative against the white of the house.

of brown used in the finish of the wood and decorations, and arched ceilings developed in the same tints with the pretty round windows at one end or the apartment add to that indescripapie air of home which is the predominant note in this attractive menage-a place of grace and hospitality presided over by one of the most beautiful young matrons in southern society. The Stillman cottage is pretty alike amid snow scenes and the masses of color and light which come with the ap- proach of spring.
