NOTES HERE AND THERE
BY MYRTLE MILES.

The dance given at the Bluff Park hotel Saturday night was an event of more than passing interest The per feet night with it's soft moonlight made the long veranda surrounding the hotel pleasant retreat during the evening. This as well as the interior of the building was prettily decorated for the occasion. The columns and rafters were twined with grape vines as were the large trees which give such pleasant shade during the heat ed period of the day The porch was brilliantly lighted as were the porte cochere beneath which the or chestra was seated. Dinner was served on the veranda, a plan so admirable that is promises to become a favorite one during the summer.
 The large dining room was cleared for dancing. The decorations here were particularly effective quantities of green making it veritable noun tain bower. Wild hydrangeas and honeysuckles were combined with mountain ivy to produce a wonderful ly artistic effect. In a corner of the room adorned with vines and flowers a bowl of punch was kept filled during the hours of the dance
 Mir. and Mrs. A. c. Sharpley were the gracious host and hostess for the evening and their first Saturday enter tainment is happy prophecy of the many delightful occasions which Bir- mingham's pleasure-lovers and vaca- tionists will enjoy during the summer months.
 A number of automobilists took the moonlight trip to the hotel and others went up on the late electric omni- bus, returning Sunday. A party of the younger set were in a large tally-ho for the dinner and dance. There were about 75 guests, among them MT. and Mrs. Charles Ungerman, MT. and Mrs. Walter Fowlkes, Miss An nie Hale, Miss Bessie Eargood, MT, w. H.

A BEAUTIFUL DINNER AT COUNTRY CLUB.

The Country club was the scene Sat urday night of several dinner parties large and small, which were among the most artistic affairs of the season. That given by MT. and Mrs. w. H. Kettig was one of the most exquisite that ever took place at the club. Mrs. Kettig is a perfect hostess and the appointments of her table were of her own planning. thus making 1t the peer of a like event given there early in the past season. She was charmingly gowned in white, a F'rench-looking costume built of flmy white chiffon over a foundation of pink satin. A deep border in. the rose tints with tiny suggestion of lavender gave a rich finish to the cloud-like oyer-dress. The group of lovely women who were her guests wore gowns vieing in beauty with her own.
 The color motif was particularly ef- fective-white. gold and lavender making the combination In the center of the table was a large vase of dull gold, filled with white roses. Hanging from it were four smaller ones holding clusters of lavender sweet peas, and surrounding the centerpiece was a circle of asparagus with the sweet peas, While among them trailed a spray of flower electric bulbs throwing out star-like radiance.
 The dinner favor at each place was dull gold basket tied with a bow of dull gold tulle and filled with sweet peas. The basket scheme was also affected in an ice course in which the ices were baskets containing flower bon-bons and the cakes were designed as orchids. Gus ters of grapes in the green and lavender tints made an artistic and effective con- lection. Candles assisted the lights of the tiny electric bulbs casting their ra diance from beneath shades of quaint de- sign and made of silver with, a dull gold lining and a corresponding fringe.
 Those who enjoyed MT. and Mrs. Ket- tigs hospitality were MT. and Mrs. w. P G. Harding, MT. and Mrs. Harold Samson, MT. and Mrs. Charles o. Locke, MT. and Mrs. Culpepper Exum. MT. and Mrs. Webb Crawford, MT. and Mrs. John Levert MT. and Mrs, John Caldwell. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

A Blessed Heritage.

The answer to this question diseloses a national asset and constitutes a blessed heritage. IL is that. underlying the thought of the people. party is second to country: that party lines are not lines of battle. separating hostile armies but divisions of sentiment and opinion touching exigenees which are constantly shifting. that there is usually a certain amount of truth and error on both sides of our popular conten- tions; that we strive in the ultimate equa- ton to reach the least objectionable Of the sum totals; that. in short. disputing among ourselves as partisans at home, we are instantly ready when pressure comes from abroad to unite as s Americans; and that, after election. the fighting being over, it's passions are laid under the genial influence of political system organically resting upon public opinion and party re- spousbiIity
