By MYRTLE MILES.

- WI t6E9s
 The week before Christmas in the realms of society is not marked by the stiffness at home which was de- scribed by the eastern poet of other days in his immortal children's verses. There are receptions, dances and din- ners and the school boys and school girls have come home for the holidays. The future belles and beaux of coming sea- sons must have their entertainments whether these be only children's parties, half grown-up dances or college cotillons. Much will be crowded into the days be- fore Christmas and the week which. fol- lows.
 Judging from rumors of January re- captions there are no indications that there will be a lull in the winter gayet- es for some time to come. Several hostesses wait only for the Christmas tasks and young peoples entertainments to end before announcing plans for aft ernoon receptions or bridge parties and the frequent comment that this is the busiest season for several years is un- doubtedly correct.
 Most of the debutantes of the winter have already been introduced ana they form an attractive group. They are seen at all of the smart affairs where young people are invited.
 The past weeks entertainments de- serve a passing reference. The recep- ton given by MT and Mrs. Richard Ran dolph was one of the most brilliant evening affairs of the season. They in- troduced their daughter Miss Helen Rosa Randolph. at a reception Friday evening at the Country club. The Music Study open meeting Is considered by many the most artistic entertainment ever given in Birmingham. It was an event of Thursday afternoon at the Country club. Mrs. A. c. Howze gave the large afternoon reception of the week in compliment to Mrs. Henry R. Howze. It was one of the prettiest of the hoi- iday festivities. The coming Of Judge and Mrs. Gary caused the introduction of several brilliant affairs in Q. week which at it's beginning seemed to promise lit tie. Among them may be mentioned the buffet supper given at Avalon. MT. and Mrs. Hardings home; Mir Gordon Craw- 1OTu luHcHcoN Ut llie NpuiliS Mrs. Crockard's bridge luncheon and MT and Mrs. Walker Percy's dinner.
 There will be but little going to- morrow, a lu1l preceding as usual the gay functions of the week. Beginning with Tuesday the young people will bs given full sway the college parties mak- ing a round of continuous gayeties. While there will be a few affairs for the older folk, these are almost forgot ten in the ones which are given for those to whom the Youletide is really worth
