gayety with the abandon of the pleasure loving French; each year some of our Birmingham people join the throng in the sunbright city of the south at this sea- son; last year there were few, many preferring to remain at home and at- tend our own ball.
 The ball WAS a pronounced success from every standpoint. Some of the hand somest marks ever seen in the city and marvellous for their variety were worn. The informaiity so essentially characteristic of a masquerade made this altogether different from the first hos pitality extended at the club during the year--the Thanksgiving reception-and the very absence of dignity in club home whose festivities are so distin- guished added to the interest and en- joyment manifested by the throng of guests.
 The club members are already enter ing with much enthusiasm into the plans for the ball. Costumes are being dis cussed-always very privately and nys- teriously with the ,costumer alone, for at this time secrecy rules even among the gentlemen, who are supposed to be supremely above an interest in mere per- sonal adornment. This indeed is de- cided exception to goodly number of rules and q number of gentlemen who scorned to go Zen costume" several sea- sons ago have become converted to the notion that mere evening dress is not sufficient to extract every possible amount of enjoyment from a Mardi Gras ball. So there promises to be few this year who do not throw themselves into the spirit of the occasion even to the very letter. There is already much fem mine anxiety as to. the appropriateness of this and that disguise and the gen. o1 air fr ra n ha "a |. different as possible from last year. Any way, the evening of the memorable Tuesday will find vast transformations in the silk and satin-clad belles and beauties of Birmingham, wrought with a bit of lace, a few lengths of ribbon, some spanges, mayhap, and a tiny black { mask.

 cordance with our romantic conception not the maiden costumed with short skirts, high heels, lace scarf, gayly colored bodice, smoking a cigarette, but matter of fact. modest young woman, dressed Just like the girls of our own homeland,
 with never cigarette. He paid high trib- ute to our girls and women, especially for their neatness of attire. attractive manners and self-reliance. lie urged the importance of cultvating gratitude and justice as most highly admirable qualities of heart and mind His praise of the magnificent old man who has so long been at the head of the Mexican government convinced his hearers that the land of the southern cross owes its present splen- did condition politically, financially and morally to the marvellous ability of Pres-
 dent Diaz. Mir Jimenez delighted his audience not only with his interesting talk but his beautiful Mexican songs. His voice is a baritone, flexible and pure, and he sings with real musical feeling. He was greatly touched by the singing of the Mexican national hymn, arranged by Miss Morton as @ quartet and sung by four of the seminary girls. Miss Paulsen sang ''The Angels Serenade" with violin obligato, played by Miss Shinn. Miss Paulsen's interpretation was thoroughly artistic. At the conclusion Of the pro- gramme the visiting friends and patrons, with the faculty, senior and junior classes were invited to the parlor for a social hour, where all enjoyed talking with Mir. Jimenez of his beautiful homeland. the country of flowers. dreams and poetry. and an atmosphere that would make idealists of the most commonplace The few moments over the teacups sped very rapidly, and with great reluctance God speed' was said to Senor Jimenez. most delightful visitor and an ideal dip- lomat.

 ''This Is the season." writes member of the Eleanor Horde club. for retrospec- tion and we feel impelled now in tho young days of the new year to review the past history of the Eleanor Horde club. which is one of the oldest in Great CT Birmingham. It was organized in 1895 under sweet and charming woman, Mrs. Samuel D. Cole. and named in honor of her mother, Mrs Eleanor Horde. From that time to the present many gracious and charming women have composed the club membership. which Is limited to 3O The officers at present are: Mrs. s. Jesse Johnston. president; Mrs. W. H. Johnson, vice president; Mrs. R. s. Haw- kins, recording secretary; Mrs. Sallie ID. Stinson, corresponding secretary; Mrs. T. J. Kidd, treasurer; Mrs. Charles E. Bur riss director Members; Mrs. c. A.

 True to the progressive spirit always manifested by this club, 1t joined the state federation the same year as or ganized. Eleanor Horde members have found both pleasure and profit in com prehensive and enthusiastic study of the subjects prescribed by the Chautauqua reading course. Often the regular pro- grammes are varied by interesting lec- lures on art by a local artist of no small reputation, whom the club has had the good fortune to have enrolled among its membership. While essential ly a literary club the Eleanor Horde has been active along many lines of philanthropic work and always ready to respond to- requests for aid whenever practicable. However the work most ex- clusively its own has been the Boys Industrial school at East Lake When this schol was first established 1t was the pleasure and privilege of the Eleanor Horde club to furnish the guest cham ber and name the same the Mona Cole room in honor of the club founder. Since then until the recent state appropriation the club has assisted in the maintenance of g. boy at the institution, then wholly maintained boy and since the appro- priation donated the same amount. $60 per Annum, toward a scholarship. Since the beginning of the new year the club has donated s2oO toward the better equip- ment of the manual training room and from now on their interest will center in this especial work. Truly the retrospec- tion of this clubs work furnishes food for pleasant thought and inspiration for even moro noble efforts in the future Tho Great Reaper in taking away from this club the past week its vice pres- ident.
