Saturday was a popular evening at the Country club. The little groups seated at dinner on the veranda Or among the dancers in the ballroom included many returned vacationists. The coat of tan is familiar thing, for the coast has been more popular this season than us- ual among Birmingham folks. The home coming is one of the happiest features of a trip, and interchange of summer ex- ,periences made the conversation at more than one coterie. 'The news from home,' said a second season girl who divided her time between several smart watering places, was, after all, the most exciting event of the sday to me. And l was not alone in this. On the hotel veranda one day, for example, after the mall arrived, dainty matron laid aside her embroidery work and spread out the Philadelphia Public Ledger. A man close by was reading the Boston Herald and from the pocket of genial bachelor protruded the Louisville Courier A cheerful group of mothers and daugh- ters was reading news of home in a Chi cago daily. There were lot of New IorheTS dfouHu, ana knOW they always received shock when they noted these rivals of their own powerful newspapers Personally. I prefer reading news of the south, even when I am in the east, and my Birmingham paper was read more faithfully than when I am at home"

Among others seen at the club were MT. and Mrs T. T. Ashford, Mir and Mrs. +. K. White, MT. and Mrs. H. S. Matthews and MT. and Mrs. w. c. Oliver.

His two uncles, MT. Carl Seals and Richard Clarke Foster, stood as his godfather. and his grandmother, Mrs Richard M. Clarke, for his god mother
 This lovely 9-months-old baby already shows in his looks the nobleness in- herited from his aristocratic and distin- guished grandfather, the late Richard H. Clarke.
 Among the many pleasures enjoyed by this congenial family party are the auto- mobile trips in Mrs. Smiths handsome new touring car. They tour morning, noon and night and have been through Proctor, where there are lots of marble quarries, which are exquisite. and also to Lake Dinmore. Mrs. Foster and chill dren and Mrs. Seals are going to the lake 10 spend a week.
 They will be in Brandon until October 1, and during September expect to take trips through Massachusetts. as Mrs. Seals is anxious to visit the school she attended in Greenfield, Mass.

 There were seven tables of partici- pants, which included besides Mrs. Snlith's friends in Brandon, guests from Rutland and Middlebpry. The home was effectively decorated Vn purple. lilac and two shades of pink China asters, and lovely white lilies.
