York. In fact, this form of en- tertainment seems to be quite the most popular of any. On the other hand, it is popular, if country life has be- gun in earnest, to motor back to New York for dinner and bridge-anything to avoid the monotony of spending twenty four hours in one place.

 T must insist upon your taking this seat" the man persisted.
 "Really-er-er-I-I don't care to sit down, said the lady, but before she could decline again the man took her gently by the arm and forced her into the seat.
 There was a popping sort of noise and the lady scowled and looked like she wished she had died when she was a baby.
 "Therer she said half to herself and half audibly enough for the other passen- gers to hear. T knew if I sat down 1t would break"
 There was a rippling smile that went over the faces of those that heard the remark. but nobody but only the lady herself knew what broke.

CONVICT LEASE
 SYSTEM ON TRIAL

Tallahassee, Fla, May 17.-Florida's s convict lease system is on trial before the house of representatives. Several bills have been introduced looking to the abolishment of the system, and substi- tuting plans by which the convicts can be used on the public roads.

 Tt is the expressed hope of the City Federation of Womens Clubs that the custom will be established in this city that obtains in the cities of the old world as regards the social uses of the parks.
 Tn Rome and other Italian cities, in Paris, and in London, to say nothing of almost all the other cities of Eu- rope, the chief park is considered the social rendezvous for the leisure class in the afternoon during the driving hours. Autos and carriages head park ward as the sunset hour approaches. and the twilight and before, is made gay with visits from one vehicle to another, slow driving past the lines hailing and exchanging greetings with old friends and making new
 Now that visiting in one's home is al- pleasure-taking folk. would this mode of social intercourse not prove 8 welcome innovation in Montgomery?'
 The park which is so near completion on Highland avenue will prove source of pleasure to residents in that neigh borhood this summer. It will be beau tiful, and already Is so near completion that hundreds of admiring comments are heard every day from people who pass that way. In the summertime city's chief comfort Is In it's parks every year the people of Birmingham more fully realize the pleasure to be derived from out-of-door pleasures. and the parks and squares will this summer be more than ever frequented

 Finally, the man with her turned and as he indicated the woman in the box lr the very decollette gown, he said:
 Isn't Mrs. Blank a sumner? That's s dream of a frock she has on. Old Blank is crazy about her, isn't he? He's so de voted. That say that every thing ht makes goes on his wife's back

 A very pretty woman boarded the cal just as I did.
 She was dressed in the height of fash ion, and being rather inclined to Avoir- oupois she was laced within an inch of her life and harnessed up like a horse and buggy.
 The car, as I remarked before, was full and so the lady took hold of a strap 10 steady herself and went serenely on, for few moments.
 Presently a man arose and offered the lady a seat
 NO, thank you" she said, 'I can stand.'
 May as we'll take it. he said.
 l"No. thank you. I prefer to stand, l" she replied sweetly
 Don't be foolish," he said in his best Alphonse and Gaston manner.
 Really, I much prefer to stand. It's very kind of you, but i-er-well-I'll just stand. thank you" she answered.

SENIORS HONOR
 COLONEL M'CORVEY

The many friends of Colonel T. C. Me Corvey, professor of history at the Uni versity of Alabama, will rejoice at the further honor that has been bestowed upon him by the members of the se- nior class at the university, says a Tus- caloosa exchange. It will be remem- bered that Col McCorvey was elected to honorary membership of the class of 1911, and now comes the news that the class Is going to leave as memorial at the university large and handsome photograph of him. It has been the happy custom at the university for graduating classes of the academic de- partment to leave a fitting memorial at their alma mater, and the class of 1911 could think of nothing more expressive of the sentiment of the class than a likeness, a lasting portrait of the man loved and esteemed by the organiza- ton.

Box Parties At Bijou-Delegates Ap- pointed To Good Roads Congress. Officers Elected in Prominent
 Organizations
By MYRTLE MILES

Warm weather has had an inspiring effect on society-in certain direction. The streets are filled with motors and Country club are filled with people, the tables at the Southern club during the luncheon hour are surrounded and every one is making the most of the clear, bright days that remain before going to s'fresh fields and pastures new.''
 Bridge is being relegated to the even- ings, and players who usually devote three or four hours after luncheon to practice now find it impossible to resist the freshness and greenness of the out side world, and spend their afternoons In driving, riding or at baseball.
 Spring fever' time has arrived, and drives with a cup of tea or mint julep at the end are more attractive than a reception unless it should be out of doors.
 The old superstition that this is an unlucky month for weddings evidently still survives in Birmingham, though when one thinks of the number of mar riages in other places 1t would seem that elsewhere it has been cast to the winds. Interest centers for the moment in the nuptials of Miss Emily Morriss and MT. James Coleman to be, proba- bly the only smart wedding taking place before the beginning of June. It will oc- cur next week at the home of Miss Nor riss.

 That peculiar 'V'sshaped back Gas one girl facetiously remarked. that it looked like V bilD, the kind that opens all the way down to the waist line--I mean the y-shaped bodice--not the bill-and is weller just above the waist line, but not quite above suspision.
 You know, one of the kind of beauties in the box was quite distinctive because of this ultra-ness.
 Her gown was just little "V-er'-just little more so-than anybody else's, and during the intermissions when she turned her back to the audience. she was the exposure of all eyes. Sitting just back of me was one of the cieverest women know. She's terribly clever-but not clever enough. because if she were, shed be So clever that she would cover up her in-
