 A pretty childrens entertainment of the
 week was the birthday party with which l little Eleanor Powers, the daughter of Capt and Mrs. D. D. Powers, celebrated her fifth birthday. At her invitation 12 of | her tiny friends assembled at her home
 and gathered about a table on which stood a great big cake alight with five | bright candles and assisted in the ancient | ceremony of cutting the cake and blow | ing out of the candles. There was some
 ice cream, too, that helped to make the
 table a nice place for little people to
 be. Above hung ribbons Of sucn varying
 tints as to give the appearance of a huge
 rainbow, and each extended from little
 persons place to the chandelier above, ! and terminated in a pretty favor the lit-
 tie girls drawing fans to match the rib bons, the boys becoming possessors in the same way of tiny suitcases filled with candy.
 A number of jolly children's games
 added their merriment to the occasion,
 and an exciting event was the marble
 hunt, which sent the little folks scamper- | ing all over the lawn and porch in search | of the hidden treasures. The center of l all the gayety was the winning little
 hostess, dainty little fairy all in white 1 Her guests included Augusta Mason, l Louise Weakley, Virginia Foster, Julia l Shackelford, Augusta Shackelford, Vir-
 ginia Adams, Alonzo Leath, Clifton Fer
 rell, Jr., Elizabeth Parker, Elizabeth | Miller and Adelaide Ransom.

 tumpka, when Miss Elizabeth Gamble, daughter of pr. and Mrs. J. w. Gamble, of that place, became the bride of MT. John w. Porter of Piper. It was quiet home wedding, celebrated in the presence of intimate friends and relatives, by the Rev. w. N. Mcdonald. There were two attendants, the brides sister, Miss Lola Gamble, maid of honor, and Mir J. P. Melvin of Piper, best man. The Birming- ham friends present were MT. and Mrs. F. D. Gamble and MT. c. Murray Brown. There were a number of presents re- ceived and numberless congratulations. MT. Porter Is widely known throughout Alabama and in this immediate district, and his marriage will engage the atten- ton of wide circle of friends. After short bridal trip MT. and Mrs. Porter will be at home at Piper, where MT. Por- ter is connected with the Cahaba Coal company. His bride formerly resided in Birmingham, which gives an added inter- est to the wedding.
 | wedding, the news of which is a sur prise to- their many friends, was that of
 MT. Walter V. Glaze and Miss Lillian
 w. Thornton. It took place very quietly Wednesday evening at St. Pauls parson- age, only a few friends witnessing the
 ceremony and the Rev. Father Coyle of- ficiatng. Miss Thornton is the sister of
 MT. T. P. Thornton of this city. She Is an estimable young woman, and has the admiration of many people in Bir- mingham who have known her from | childhood. She is a graduate nurse, hav- ing received her instruction at St. Fran | cs Xavier infirmary in Charleston, S. c.

 avenue, north.
 l At the wedding of MT. and Mrs. Win 1 ston Spencer Churchill, in London, last
 week there was a practical demonstra-
 ton of the national boast in England that i friendship remains among Englishmen, | even though they be men of diametrical- ! ly opposite political beliefs. In America l such would be an exceptional case MT. | Churchill gave a very striking example of the strength of his friendship when he | asked Lord Hugh Cecil, the clever son l of the late Lord Salisbury, to attend him i at his wedding. Lord Cecil is his bit 1 ter political enemy, but it seems that the warmest personal friendship exists be- | tween the two leaders.
 l This. though an out-of-season one, was ] the wedding of the year in England, ow-
 ing to the prominence of the contracting
 parties. The poverty of human ingenuity
 in the choice of wedding gifts will prob i ably continue as long as the custom of
