SOCIAL GOSSIP OF
 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE

O O interest to Brmlngham's social world, where the bride is well
 known, was the wedding last Sat urday in Baltimore of Mrs. Basil B. Cor don and Lieut.. Col. George Barnett, U. s. M. c.
 A number of Birmingham people knew Mrs. Gordon quite well, and she was widely known as a Virginia beauty be- fore her first marriage some years ago. She was formerly Miss Leila Sinclaid Montague. Her marriage to MT. Basil Gordon was somewhat of a surprise, but after his death she was almost as much of belle as in her girlhood, and re- tained much of her beauty.
 Her wedding last Saturday took place Rt Christ Episcopal church.
 For her wedding, Mrs. Barnett had a gown of point de Venise lace, made in princess style, over white satin. The lace was made by Italian nuns in convent in China, 800 miles up the Yangtse-Kiang river. The bridal hat was of the same lace, combined with white tulle and trimmed with bird of paradise feathers.
 The brides only attendant was her sis ter, AIS. Henry M. WlIe Ol Lieutenant Mustin L. S. N, who was a bride last October, and had her sister as attendant. Mrs Muslin wore a gown of pale yellow chiffon painted with chry santhemums, over pale yellow satin, and a big brown lace hat, trimmed with brown ostrich feathers.
 Lieutenant Colonel Barnett's best man was Representative John W. Weeks of Boston, Mass, a roommate and classmate in the Naval academy with him. The ushers were Col. c. H. Laucheimer and Maj. Charles l.. McCauley U. S. M. C.; Lieut.. Com. Hilary P. Jones, Com. A. E. Culver, Com. Harry M. Dombaugh and Paymaster J. Quitman Lowell, retired, U. s. N. The bridegroom and the ushers wore the dress uniforms of their ranks.
 There was a luncheon afterward in the brides city house, which was attended by 400 persons. The couple will leave San Francisco on January 30 for Peldn, where the bridegroom will take command of the guards at the American legation.

Maud Adams as a Lover.

For the third time in her career Miss Maud Adams appeared last Wednesday in q mans role. Chicot, in the testers, her new play, presented at the Empire theatre in New York city.
 Those who have memories of Miss Adams as LAiglon and Peter Pan, can well imagine that the role of Chicot will be interpreted with charm, but it will al-

The members of the General sunpter Chapter, Daughters of the American Rev. olution, are indebted to Mr. J. W. Lewis, of the Forbes Piano company, for vic- tor talking machine, which was loaned them for their colonial tea. Patriotic airs were played, and there were several selec- tions sung by the worlds most famous artists, Calve, Sembrich. Patti, Michel owa. and others, a programme Of old fashioned songs as well as popular airs of the day being presented.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-01-18

In her preceding roles Miss Adams had not yet played the part of lover. In Peter Pan there was a light and delicate woolng of the audience, perhaps. to love and believe in fairies. In LAiglon, it was love of country. But in her new play Miss Adams has d role of an ar dent lover. She has even to fight a duel.
 And so sure is she of having successful ly wooed her audiences that she has no temerity in assuming the role of an ar back jester-clothing love itself in unat- tractive form, through which this strange intangible power of hers again convinces that whatever she undertakes is to be invested with it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-01-18

ways seem strange that Miss Adams, with her delicate physique her striking wom- anliness, her absolute feminineness in voice and manner, can portray as well as she does a mans role. True, those which she has essayed require delicate phy- sque. fanciful and poetic adapation. But it will always be insisting upon an explanation, as to why such exquisite femininity is so well adapted to roles re- quiring an analyses wholly different from that which woman would usually give them.
