 After it's long season of sackeloth and ashes, during which there was absolute auietude in the social world, as far as formal entertaining was concerned, the ''season" is again opening. The spring season is always short two or three weeks or a month. for by the middle 9f May or the first of June everyone is too busy planning for the annual visit ta mountain and seashore. opening the coun- try house for the long season there. or closing town houses for a long absence in Europe.
 The season will be somewhat prolonged this year. owing to the reunion, which will bring a notably gay week in June.
 The spring season will open with the Charity ball on Tuesday evening. When the ball was first announced several weeks ago the one idea was to raise funds for one of Brmingham's most beautiful charities.
 But as the plans for the ball were de veloped they have assumed such pie turesque proportions as to assure the most beautiful and picturesque ball in many seasons.
 The society under which the ball will be given was most fortunate in it's se- lection of the chairman of the large com mittee of patronesses. Mrs. Henry B. Cray. one of the most admired and pop ular women in the young and fashion able married set, assumed the leadership of the ball some weeks ago. She has worked with characteristic enthusiasm to make it financially successful, disposlns personally of hundreds of tickets. While the features suggested by her to make the ball a picturesque spectacle nave increased social interest in the ball ah- til now everyone feels that it will be 8 privilege to either participate 1h the ball or to be a spectator
 Nothing quite so elaborate has ever been attempted in Birmingham All ot the elements of the picturesque will en- ter into the occasion, decorative effects bri,liancy of illumination. and beauty of costume. while the most artistic feature of the ball will be the May Pole aahee' which will be arranged on the lawn im- mediately in front of the club house.
 If the weather is ideal the al freseo features of the ball will make it perfect entertainment. If the evening is too cool all of the arrangements will eb transferred indoors. and the May Pole dance Will be given in the large ball room of the club house.
 Everyone is hoping that the al fresco nlans will not be interfered with, for be- sides the May Pole dance on the lawn ii is planned to have garden party in connection with the ball. and the most effective plans of Illuminating the large gardens about the club have been com peted.
 Fully 200 Japanese lanterns will be used in decorating the lawns between the cIub house and the main driveway. These lanterns will be lighted with electricity. producing a brilliant effect, while at the same time one of fairyland, almost like the Never, Never Nod Land' in Peter Pan.
 Under a large umbrella hung with Jap anese lanterns, refreshments will be served. But as enchanting as this out-oi- door scene will be to those entering the .iub grounds, or viewing it from the club
