OPENING RECEPTION OF
 FLETCHER SCHOOL OF MUSIC

The opening reception of the Fletcher School of Music was of the usual charm and simplicity.
 The studios were bright with flowers and cool ferns, and brighter still with the fresh faces of little children and young maidens eager for the coming music studies of the new session. Mrs. J. s. Bridges made welcoming talk to the guests and pupils and gave valu- able remarks to mothers about children's voices and of her plans for the pupils choir which will present during the win- ter Handers Messiah, arranged especially for young voices. She further begged that the pupils understand that although she stressed Fletcher method for all pupils under 15, that they were not com pelled to take this course,- being free to choose whatever mode desired :.
 Not only the pupils but the audience were charmed to learn that Mrs. Evelin Fletcher-Copp, the originator of this method who visited Mrs. Bridges two years ago, will again be in Birmingham this fall. Mrs F'letcher-Copp has lately returned from an extended lecturing tour of the old world. and Birmingham will in- deed be fortunate, to have her again.
 Miss Bruce, who was among the guests. being invited by the hostess to tell of her visit to Boston, was most enthusiastic In her praise of Mrs. Fletcher-Copp and her wonderful and beautiful work. It was matter of keen regret to both guests and pupils that Miss Abigail Crawford, the schools teacher of piano and organ. was not present to take her part on the programme. She was un- avoidably detained in Decatur until Tues day. A delightful informal programme was given consisting of plano and violin selections from the pupils. Lingering and chatting of things musical. greeting friends and pupils old and new, a delight ful half hour was spent around the great bowl of fruit punch dispensed by a bevie Of daintily gowned young ladies of this school. This Is the opening given by Mrs J. s. Bridges, the pioneer Fletcher disciple of the south, and her many friends are pleased with the success she so richly deserves.

 Now. of course, it's nice to have trav- eied friends; it's more than nice to have cultured friends, but somehow, the SUI periority of these people does get on ones nerves now and then.

 Now, if there is one thing that bores you beyond anything else in the world it 1s to be called "queer"
 .What do you mean?' you ask sharply feeling rather conscious.
 Your hat looks so queer," she re- plies pleasantly-you know the kind of manner.
 You glance at your ehapeau in the mir TOT of a nearby show window. T don't see anything especially queer about it. you resent quickly. "But you should see the hats in Paris exclaims your friend. "They are so Yon- 6erful. so chic, so smart, so stunning. iTEey are covered with aigrettes and the shapes are most bizarre"

Why is the soda cracker to-day such a universal food? People ate soda crackers in the. old days, it is true-but they bought them from a barrel or box and took them home in a paper bag, their crispness and flavor all gone.
 To-day there is a soda cracker which is the recognized staple Uneeda Biscuit.
 Uneeda Biscuit are the most nutritious food made from flour and should be eaten every day by every member of the family from the youngest to the oldest. Uneeda Biscuit soda crackers better than any ever made before-made in the greatest bakeries in the world d-baked to perfection-packed to perfection kept to perfection until you take them, Oven-fresh h and crisp, from their protecting package.
