THE WESLEY HOUSE
 IN BIRMINGHAM

How many of our citizens are cognizant of the fact that among the other helpful and uplifting institutions of Birmingham is a settlement home, community house, called the Wesley house? From this home each day and every day are radiating ministries and influences which are most helpful and elevating, making better homes, better citizens and better com- munity.
 Two trained workers reside in this Wes- ley house, Miss Phillips, the deaconess and head resident, and her assistant, Miss Chambers, who came from Atlanta, a trained and Valued worker. The Bir- mingham auxiliares of the Women's Home Mission society of the M. E. church, south, support the Wesley house. and it's management is under control of the board of city missions.
 In the settlement work the service be- gins in the home, radiates from the home and has as it's ultimate aim the redemp- ton of the home. which means nothing short of the salvation of it's inmates, men, tally, morally, physically and socially. The first and most important work of the deaconess is that of directing and keeping a well-ordered house, which shall be an inspiration and example to all to whom she is neighbor From this center flow out numberless duties and oppor- tunities to help and uplift the neighbor- hood Through the example of her own home, through her frequent visits to their homes, through the classes she or ganizes and conducts, she, though slowly, yet surely, wins the family to higher life
 Through the Mothers club, sewing school, cooking school, night school, Boys' Industrial cluD social and literary clubs for young men and young women. kindergarten, free library, distribution of magazines and papers, Sunday school, Bible classes, visits to strangers, to the sick and suffering. friend to the friend- less her wise counsel and loving sympa- thy, she ministers to the home and teaches these neighbors their duties and relationship to one another and to God. Through the medium of this model home she supplies the social life, making use of this most natural instinct to dignity

A strenuous season this will be with auction bridge clubs forming. tea par ties galore, the club links filled with new converts to golf. the roster at the Athletic club adding to last win ter's list of gymnasium devotees, and dozens of women anxious to take up dancing Yesterday morning the classes in dancing were organized and a number of Birmingham's representa- tive women have already adopted this as their serious and playful pastime for the winter. Dancing promises to be the leading frivolity of the seas son. The pace was set this summer at Newport, Bar Harbor and some of the other smart resorts where instead of the usual conventional ballroom dances so many of the fancy steps of other days and other nations were introduced and popularized that society papers were filled with comments upon the subject In Town and Country of recent date reference was made to the "Boston," with the remark that no matter how beautiful, young or charm ing one might be, she was socially inn { possible without knowledge of this ! new dance, for it is necessary part. of every festivity. This was corrob- orated by MT J. p. Miles, who has just returned from his summer studies at the Chalif School of Dancing in New York Not only has the Boston been so adopted" he said "but the Spanish dance was especially favored at Newport" So saying, he drew newspaper clipping from his pocket and showed cartoon--a very fetching Spanish maiden in mantilla and ban gles; beneath was a comment as to the "fandangos" of society, whose latest was the Spanish dance. There are oth

The man who posed for them is won derful expert in the dances of that country. His costume, by the way, that you see here in the pictures, is one of the handsomest I have ever seen."

DISTINGUISHED CHESS PLAYER TO VISIT BIRMINGHAM

MT. Albert D. Hodges, secretary of the Sailors Snug Harbor at Staten Island, and one of the foremost chess players of this country, is expected in Brming- ham in a short time to be the guest of his cousin,A Mrs. James Bowron. Local Gevotees of Uhess will be interested in an opportunity to meet so prominent an exponent of this most intellectual and venerable of games. MT. Hodges has achieved no small renown, having held the southern and national championships for~chess at various times and played in number of international games. He Is travelling through the south delivering lectures on chess, and Is at present in Memphis Next week he will lecture at Vanderbilt university in Nashville, com ing here directly afterward to visit MT. and Mrs. Bowron Several of the local chess rlaye.s have expressed a desire to have him present lecture here, but it is not known that he will consent to do so. MT. ana Mrs. Bowron's friends, however, lock forward to meeting their Interesting f,nsman.

ask a girl to dance because of this fear then seen the girl sit alone against the wall and strive to look at ease, like the klrl in Kipling's poem, until somebody had the temerity to ask her to dance; then as soon as she was dancing, some one would break in. Visitors in Bir- mingham and other places in the south often object to this custom, and rightly, too. I would like very much to see 1t abandoned, and everyone who looks upon dancing as one of the arts feels the same way about it.
 MT Miles plans for this year are most attractive and the number of society wo- men seen at his opening yesterday morn- ing at the pretty rooms of the Friars' club forecasts the attention that will be given this year to the society woman's most necessary and most graceful accom- plishment-dancing.

Miss Margaret Moore, the pretty young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Moore, entertained yesterday afternoon at her home on South Nineteenth street. Her guests numbered 30 of her friends, and the affair was in the nature of a heart-djce party. Her grace as a hostess reflects that of her mother, who is never more charming than in that role.
