It IS generally agreed that from the stand point of beauty there has never been anything on the amateur stage In Bir- mingham superior to the little sketch given by the aeropla9e girls and their escorts which was the climax of the even ing. The costumes of the six pretty girls
 who wore demure pink summer frocks of a wonderful simplicity, and sna ct little pink turbans, finished with fluffy white aigrettes, could not have been chosen with more taste; the six summer men were sartorially perfect. In the graceful steps which accompanied the bright songs and the management of the pink flower hoops in which many of the poses in the dance were executed. the double sextette also reached perfection, but when, in the final scene, the girls on either side of little Dan Cupid hung above the stage in an aeroplane, the audience left the theatre with a very pleasant vision of the twelfth annual So-

The work of the most talented Of local artists will be supplemented by that of several former Birmingham residents who have achieved success in the large cities of the north and northwest. How

most creditable. This season it promises to be far better. The contemplated ex- hibit of almost every artist in the city | has been noted in these columns. That of Mrs. Raulston, the president of the club, was reserved until today. A visit in her studio few days ago found her busily working on fruit bowl which promises to be one of the favorites of the collection of china in the exhibition It has not been submitted to the kiln for firing, but even in its unfinished state showed her wonderful technique. It is a Satsuma bowl, much smaller than the usual fruit bowl and of a quaint shape. 1 but done with the exquisite minuteness os detail and admirable appreciation of color which distinguish all of her efforts. It is worked out in more delicate color l than many of her decorations of Satsuma I-small clusters of oranges, enameled so that were they not so small they would suggest gathering, are grouped at the top surmounting a conventional design in pale blue. which is charming against the pack ground of crackled china.
 Mrs Raulston shows marked partiality for an ice tub. which Is developed in cool est green with conventional motive of snowdrops-a pretty conceit for an ice re- ceptacle. There is 8 good deal of gold about the border and in panel effect which makes it a fascinating little article. A cream and sugar set has sprays Of wild geraniums also in conventional ef- feet, and warmly tinted in pink, blue and brown.
 Among the pretty things that Mrs. Raul ston will show at the exhibition are a nut bowl and small tray of Satsuma china sent to her from Chicago after being shown as a part of the Atiantan exhibit Both are lovely, but no more attractive than the Satsuma hon-bon bowl, whose top she has decorated with medallion like center of conventionalized cornfiowers .n blue enamel. There are two cake plates which will be interesting specimens @f the Satsuma ware, and these, with few other pieces, will conclude Mrs. Raul ston's display. Characteristic of her it will be, and completely demonstrating even the few choice bits, complete the mastery of her line of work.

The week socially. which began right tically finished when that event closed, for there has been no entertaining since then of an especially formal character. Several very pretty affairs of a more or less informal nature, beftting the seriousness of the Lenten season, have been given each day, thus preventing the days from being altogether dull. For tunately luncheons. dinners, bridge and theatre parties are not tabooed in Bir- mnigham by very strict observers of the church custom, else affairs of a frivolius nature would be altog ether at a standstill There are innumerable bridge clubs hold ing their meetings unabashed, while din- ners and luncheons have succeeded for the moment the larger teas and recep- tions. Next week will be much fuller than the past, for the small affairs will be sup plemented by two large afternoon recep- tions in compliment to 9 bride-to-be Miss Louise Rushton, and the home-com- ing of a number of college boys and girls for the Lenten recess. will add 0 gaiety. One event of this nature is, nat bly, the buffet supper to be given by MT. and Mrs. Henry Gray, and which had its inspiration in the visit of a col- lege friend of their son, Henry Gray, IT,, as well as in Mrs. Gray's appreciation of the assistance of her ''aeroplane girls in the Society Circus, who will share the honors of the occasion.
