The ballroom, which was temporary concert hail. was filled to it's crowded to the walls, and some of the guests were obliged to stand in the door way. The audience, in appreciation as well as in numbers, exceeded that Of any previous affair. Mrs. Aldrich is always a strong attraction, and she is constantly growing in popularity with the Birming- ham public, which is proud to claim her as it's own.

Standing in line to greet the guests as they entered were Mrs. Victor Hanson, president of the club; Mrs. Lathrop, Mrs Conner, Mrs. Frank Jones, the vice president of the club; Mrs. Houston Davis, Mrs. Richard Johnston and Mrs. Solon Jacobs.

This was through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Culpepper Exum, who showed their interest in art anew by assisting in making the rooms attractive for the Music Study entertain ment. The ballroom in which the concert | took place was superb with it's poin- | settia motive and lights twined with and vases filled with the gorgeous flow 1 CTS adorned the living room and dining room as well, while the rotunda and the balcony above the living room were twined with the foliage and flowers. l After the lovely programme. and during | the reception which followed 1t, Mrs. La | throp and Mrs. Conner stood with Mrs speak to the guests.
