The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-09-19

musicians is an attachment of the apart- ment. Here were the distinctive decora- tions of the hunt-the sporting prints rep resenting the chase, crops, brides, whips, stirrups, bits and fox heads were ar ranged on the walls And In this setting appearing in the picturesque huntsmen' 8 dress were the guests. In Southampton this summer the leading amusement has
 been horseback riding, the sport giving inspiration for moonlight riding parties, including as many as 30 or 70 guests with dinner dances afterward. or breakfast parties with as many.
 There is really no end to the pleasures that a good horseman may enjoy, and there is no indication that in the east and west the people fail to comprehend their possibilities. Authorities, in fact, stoutly assert that with all the everlast- Ing talk that the end of the horse age is at hand, there is everything to prove and nothing to disprove that the horse was really never more in evidence than he is today. There is more of him, his price is higher than has ever been chronicled, and people were never so much interested in him as they are today. The outlook for the coming season in continental countries of Europe as we'll as in certain sections of America is rosier ethan it has ever been. If the scope might widen so that it would include Birmingham, with it's lovely wooded hills, Its bridle paths be- side little limpid, purling streams and through wilderness of gay colors in autumn or clouds of green topping beds of blue violets in the spring-then people other than the few devoted eouestrans might tknow of the beauties which Bir- minghams little forests keep hidden ex- cept from the elect.
 This is what the French call the Little Season." delightful, informal time, rush. ing from place to place on motor trips, stopping en route from one house party to another and shopping and doing the amusements and meeting ones friends. It is spent every year, by number of Birmingham folk, in New York, where, in the fashionable hotels and restaura ats are gay crowds and one may always rec ognize a number of well known faces. Many of these are mere birds of passage. passing from one place to another. Others have just arrived from abroad others again are those from various cities of the west and south and different sections of the country who go to New York in the early autumn on their return from the seashore and mountains. The stay there is always the inspiration of little dinners and visits to the play Among the Bir- mingham people who Nave been or will be in the metropolis during September are MT. and Mrs. Charles o.
