SERIES OF CAVITIES FOR SOCIETY FOLKS OF ALL AGES-YOUNG SET ESPECIALLY GAN-MANY SUNDAY EVENTS.

Although Christmas Day is over the fes- tivities have but just begun. Monday will mark the beginning of mad series of gayeties for the half-grown-up boys and girls, the college set and the little peo- ple. which will be continued until the call comes for a resumption of studies. whether they be at kindergarten. school or the famous colleges which have claimed 80 many of Birmingham's young people this winter.
 These are not all, however, of the Christmas functions. The older folk will meet for many a congenial dinner party or card game during the week, for the most part very quietly, but they will be happy events nevertheless There are just few large parties. but these will be unusually charming. Among them may be noted the cotillon which will introduce a new social organization of dozen or more society girls, "The Cotillon club" which promises to be one of the most bril- liant events of the year. The s. A. E. ootillon will be another lovely affair.
 The smart set looks forward to the dance given by MT. and Mrs. Solon Jacobs New Years Eve as one of the joys of Christmas tide. Mrs. W. P. Pinck- ards tea is another smart event antici- pated with much pleasure. The 60 mem bers of the Cornell Glee, Banjo and Man doin club will share the honors of the occasion as her especial guests and their presence is an innovation which appeals particularly to feminine interest. Sew eral affairs yet unannounced will be given for MT. and Mrs TIoadley and Miss Hoad- ley. whose presence is the signal for much entertainine Thus the older folks are not to be kept altogether in the background.
 Christmas Day was celebrated as is GUS tomary in this city, principally as home day one in which families were happy in extending the pretty courtesies of the day to their own people. There were many reunions, almost every home having add ed one or two relatives at least to it's number The spirit of the day has never been so altogether sweet as was shown this year The happiness that shines in inc faces of the college boys and girls and one meets hundreds of them--is the greatest tribute possible for that best of places-home.
 But 1t was the little people to whom the 25th was the one great day, little eyes were round with the wonder of Santa Claus bounty and little hearts beat high with happiness. The homes that had no bows and girls to blow horns. beat drums and make the countless other unearthly noises of the Yuletide. may have enjoyed profound peace, but there was some thing missing, for there Is nothing more beautiful than the happiness of a little child.
 Among the hundreds and thousands of little ones whom the good "St. Nick showered with his favors yesterday were chosen a group of photographs for this page of The Age Herald. There is Au- gustus Gustavus Shackleford the young est son of MT. and Mrs. W. C. Shackle ford, one of the handsomest and happiest little boys on the Highlands. Gus is the namesake of his maternal grandfather, the late Mr A. c. Stollenwerck. A dainty little lady is Mary Jocelyn Tutwiler, the 2-year-old daughter of MT and -4rs. E. M. Tutwiler, Jr She has the name of her mother, who was, before her marriage, Miss Mary Anderson of this city.

 MT. and Mrs. Solon Jacobs elder daughter is little Miss AIadelein Jacobs, who is not only beauty, but is eonsid- cred one of the brightest 7-year-old girls in the city. She is decidedly like her mother who, as Patti Ruffner, was a popular society girl, a musician and art ist.
