THE SOCIAL SIDE OF
 MUSIC STUDY MEETING.

The social side of the Music Study l club is a distinct feature of the club work. The blending together of music and society indeed is one of the causes of the clubs success. The members are intellectual and cultured represen- tatives of the Birmingham district. and in study as well as the appreciation of good music they have made rapid strides recently. The open meetings are among the very brilliant social and musical events of each season, the days set apart for them being guarded by ! hostesses as one for no other sociai affair. and invitations to them are al- ways coveted. The membership has grown greatly this season, but each member still has the privilege of ask ing two guests. The visiting card of the member is sent to her guest to be used as at other receptions. Miss Edith Bowron is to be the chief hostess with the club at the open meeting at 1 the Country club Thursday afternoon. i She will be assisted by all the club members and a few of the young iady members whom she has asked to act as ushers. Miss Bowron is one of the l most enthusiastic workers in the club and is & great social favorite in Bir- mingham. She possesses something more than mere social distinction and
 popularity in society since she is a
 charming pianist, having had splendid
 instruction both here and abroad.
 Mrs. Truman Aldrich, who has been
 one of the most helpful members, and
 has done so much for it niusically, Is
 also social favorite. She will give
 the piano numb srs Thursday, and Mrs.
 Beecher, Birminghams brilliant reader, with Mrs. Aldrich, will give the entire programme. Tho club list now con- stitutes about 175 of the leading women of Birmin gham, and number of the cultured women of the suburbs. The musicale and reception Thursday is the first of the three open meetings of the l season. The regular meeting which 1 takes place twice a month, on alter hating Thursdays are charming musi- cal treats within themselves. One of the soloists at the meeting this week
 was Miss Haidee Tutwiler. whose pie ture appears today She is niece of i Major and Mrs. F. M. Tutwiler. and Is one of the charming young singers of | Birmingham.
 With the concert of the Treble Clef l club Wednesday eevning and the lovely programme of the Music Study Thurs day, society will have a treat and the music lovers will have the opportunity 1 of enjoying much that good taste ana the artistic public appreciates.

Of the hatpins the stone is elongated

long chains are those in which the
amethysts are cut square and quite fat

VOTE BEATS CAR FRANCHISE.
Kansas City, Mo-, at Special Election,
Defeats Proposition For an
Extension

Kansas City Dec. 17.-The proposi-
tion to extend the franchise of the
Metropolitan Street Car company.
which now holds the traction rights
of the city up to 1925, for a period of
twenty-siX years, or forty-two years
from the present, was defeated at a
special election here yesterday by
majority of 7,091.' The total vote cast
was 30,371, of which 1871 were
against and 1850 for the grant.
The company now charges a
straight 5 cent fare, but the proposed
contract provides that not later than
Jan. /, 1913, the company shall sell
twenty-five tickets for 81 and six for
25 cents.
The opponents of the franchise ar
gued that the potency of this conces-
sion was destroyed by another clause
which, in referring to the city's right
to reduce fares before 1925, provided
that "all existing rights both of the
city and the company are in this re-
gard hereby expressly reserved and
remain unaffected by the contract.
