A SOCIAL CALENDAR
By MYRTLE MILES

One is reminded of the approach or win ter and the social season only occasion- ally these warm days-when some bridge or literary club more industrious than the rest assemblies together for it's intro ductory meeting. A number of the liter ary clubs will reassemble this afternoon the Music study and the Treble Clef clubs have both held their first meetings and several cards clubs have announced the beginning of actually taken hold of the pleasant pastime for which they were organized.
 A leading reason for joy over the pros pect of winter is found to many In the anticipation of Dr. Evans Shakespeare mornings. The membership of his class is not so restricted as when first inaug- urated and now well represents the liter ary cult in Birmingham. This city is fortunate in having man so beautifully endowed as pr. Evans and withal so gen. erous with his mental gifts. He consent ed to instruct a class of 15 women in Shakespeare lore, and himself volunteered an increase in the membership the past spring. The meetings occur semi-monthly
 
 gins the second year of existence of the class. Fine work was done last year and this will undoubtedly be the result of the coming seasons efforts by the members and their leader
 Yesterday the first of the mornings with Shakespeare was opened by Dr. Evans when he invited not only the members Of the class but all club women to meet with him at the parish house, Church of the Advent A beautiful programme was presented, including not only Dr. Evans eloquent and graceful lecture, but group of musical selections which added to its beauty. Mrs. o. L. Stephenson gave two songs, Mrs. Burt M. Forney sang @ charming little Italian song, and an en- core, Miss Julia Chenoweth gave a violin selection and Mrs. Goldman a piano num- Der. Mrs. William M. Jordan also assist cd as accompanist. The programme made a charming hour. pr. Evans read a poem which was his own composition-a beau- tiful story beautifully told, and one which it Is hoped that he will publish. Among his hearers were many cultured women, and those who were unable for one or another reason to be of the number were unfortunate in missing one of the liter sry and musical treats of the autumn. Noted among the appreciative members of the coterie were Mrs. A. G. Smith, Miss Kate Hopkins, Mrs. William l. Grubb, Mrs. Samuel Rand, Mrs John Jemison, Mrs. Burt Forney, Mrs. Mayes, Mrs. Sid ney Ullnan. Mrs. Florence E. Bunk, Mrs James McLester, Miss Edith Bowron, Mrs. Gus Pope, Mrs. Sofford Smith, Mrs. J. E. Frazier, Mrs. Overton Fulton, Mrs. Richard Fell, Mrs. George Harrington, and many others.

WHAT CAUSES FRECKLES, AND HOW THEY MAY BE
 COMPLETELY REMOVED
vy,lsou,s Frcckle Cream Does the Work
 or Your Money Refunded

The medical profession tell us that ereckles are caused by a deposit of nigment in numerous small areas, al- though the actual reason for these de- nosits having formed has never been discovered. The old fallacy, once freckled, always freckled, has not held true since the discovery of Wilson s
 Freckle Cream.
 Miss Lucille Scott of Scotia, $. C., recently wrote us as follows: T have used many things to get rid of my freclxles, but I have never found any
 thine so good as Wilson's Freckle
 Cream. I cannot say enough for It."
 This Is a mild face bleach, and is
 positively guaranteed to cure freckles,
 pimples and blackheads. It leaves the
 slxin smooth and soft as velvet, i'm
 narting a healthful glow and youthful
 radiance. 1,,,
 Cream will cause your freckies to per- ceptibly fade, and the second jar will entirely remove them. Should it fail
 to do so. your druggist is authorized to return you your money. If he can not supply you, send 50 cents to Will sons Freckle Cream Company, Charles ton. S. C.. and we will mail you full size jar.
 This is the only real way to get rid of freckles. Sold by Jacobs drug store.
