 President Thompson was elected chairman of the conference and Henry Plauche made secretary. After the or ganization was completed the repre- sentatives were addressed by Charles $.

You try not to feel badly, but you have thing; like you do when your shoes are rusty. you want to sit down and cover up your feet
 And the skirts are still so narrow" your friend goes on. "Yours is like tent fin comparison to the ones the Parisennes are wearing" You try not to be ashamed of your skirt, but you are all the same, and you wonder how dare the new ones assume such enormous proportions without your consent.
 So you leave your friend with a sense Of discomfort, be it said, and go on your way, only to find another friend who has recently returned from abroad. Come with me to luncheon,' cries this person. and you immediately hie with her to your favorite tearoom. Bring me bioche," says she. very cas- ually, just like that, to the little wait ress.
 The little waitress starts and says she is afraid that they haven't 1t on the menu.

NEW COMET LARGER
 THAN HALLEY'S OWN

St. Louis. September 1S.-Father Martin s. Brennan, s. J., of St. Louis university, has sighted tramp comet which he terms real publicity seek CT, as its tail may be plainly seen with opera glasses. The head . visible to the naked eye just to the south and west of the star Chuban, which, in nautical and lay parlance, is known as the "tail of the dragon"
 The head is said to be much larger than that of Halley's comet or others which have been noted in recent years.
 It's origin and identity is unknown, according to the astronomer who ac- credits it's appearance as simply an- other one of the freak formations of fiery nebulous matter.
 The comet is easily seen after D.. m., and thereafter through the hours before daylight.

There is always speculation among Br- minghams lovers of outdoor sports as to the reasons why our people are so slow to take to the horse. A sport that is so essentially southern from time imme- morial ought to attract such who are so cosmopolitan about other matters, but, despite an occasional fad which lasts with a little circle for season or thereabouts, horsemanship Ends small support in this city. Atlanta, with it's horse shows, was the center of social interest for several autumns This year 1t, too, will abandon the exhibition. If Birmingham could have gathered inspiration to carry forward what Atlanta has let go, it might have fallen heir to season that would have proven even more bright here than it was for several years in the former city.
 It Is source of regret to many, by the way, that the equine display planned to be a feature of the State fair had to be abandoned because of lack of time for the preparation. Out of the suggestion, how ever, will probably grow a fine exhibition next year.
 Birmingham has become a place large
 
 to whom sports of many kinds offer an appeal. Golf, tennis and motoring are fol- lowed with a pleasant zest along with other amusements such as bridge and dancing which one enjoys indoors, so it is strange, indeed, that good horse offers apparently small attraction. In Virginia and North Carolina the hounds are fol- lowed in season as naturally and enthu- siastically as the cultured class devote themselves to opera-in season. In the north there is no pleasure that appeals so intensely to society, and when one reads of the meetings of the Middlsex Foxhounds at Lincoln or Sudbury. of the hunt breakfasts or hunt -balls at Lenox or Pimlico. Md, or Newport one can but wonder how true lovers of pleasure can forego one of the most graceful as well as one of the most healthful of pastimes. Only yesterday appeared in fashionable paper an account of the hunt ball at Lenox, held this year at Shadowbrook, the great English manor house which be- longs now to MT. Spencer P. Shotter of Savannah, though it was formerly the property of MT. Anson Phelps Stokes. It was the eighth annual ball of the Berk- shire Hunt club, and the most interesting of them all. Against the white enamel of the great entrance hall at SShadowbrook were set bursts ofrred and gold autumn foliage taken from soft naples where the frost had painted the leaves. Before a marble fountain surrounded with dwarf palms and potted begonias stood the re- ception committee, the officers of. the club and several women. In the music room the ball was held. This is a mag nifcent apartment '20x40, and IA feet high, the ceiling supported by truss which reaches up to the roof with geometrc English oak paneling. The ceiling of this room is of ornamented carved duartered oak inlaid with disks, while the wains- coating is of the same rich timber in panel. magnificent carved mantel sur- mounts huge fireplace and a gallery for
