MIR. AND MRS. CLAYBROOK HOSTS AT RECEPTION

One of the delightful events of yester- day was the reception given by Mir. and Mrs. Willoughby Claybrook in the after noon. The decoration of the home sug- gested the coming of the Yuletide, a scheme fittingly in vogue at the moment. Smiiax, palms and other greenery made a lovely background for the profusion of crimson blossoms evident in each apart ment, and the poinsettia shades on the chandeliers and candles emphasized the brightest effect of the crimson motive.
 On the tea table was a centerpiece of carnations, and the bon bons followed their tone. Mrs. J. F. Graham and Mrs. John N Gunnes were the two gracious matrons presiding over the coffee and chocolate urns and others assisting in the dining room were Mrs. F. J. Thomas, Mrs. D. M. Drennen, Mrs. H. A. Turner, Mrs. Stephen Smith. Jr., Mrs. T. E. Davidson, who served the salads and ices.
 Dr. and Mrs. Claybroolx received in the drawing room, where bright red blossoms and greenery were distributed most effec- lively. With them were Mrs. G. c. Estill Mrs. Matthew Scott Sloan, Mrs Robert Totten, Mrs. Joseph F. Johnston and Mrs. J. D. Kirkpatrick.
 The punch table was decorated with poinsettia and over it presided Mrs. A. B. Locelace and Mrs. Thomas J. Wingfield, assisted by Miss Mary Lanier. Miss Yer non Marks and Miss Lena Wilkerson.
 Several hundred guests took part in the hospitality, which was one of the most graceful of the season.

BRIDGE PARTY FOR
 VISITING GIRLS

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Holland Lathrop were hosts last evening at a bridge party in compliment to Miss McCandless of At lanta who has been the inspiration of many beautiful hospitalities during her visit to Mrs. Campbell Maben, and to Miss Flora Miller, who is Mrs. Donald Comers lovely guest. But a small coterie were included in the number invited to meet Miss McCandless and Miss Miller in this delightful way, the few enjoying one of the loveliest of all the entertainments paying them homage. In the group were MT. and Mrs. Maben, Miss McCandless, Miss Miller Miss Ryding, Mrs. Viola Dod- en-Redin, Miss Clara Lee Woodson, Miss Carroll Woodson, Mir John Dabney, Dr. Gaston Torrance, MT. John Kimball, MT. Mudd Martin, MT. Frank Lathrop, Jr., of Riverside, Mr. z. T. Rudulph, Dr. Wyatt Hef1n and MT. Lee Bivings.
 Birmingham has had no loveier visitors than Miss McCandless and Miss Miller. Each combines beauty with talent, and her presence at a social function insures it's pleasure for the other guests. Miss Me- Candless added much to the pleasure of MT. and Mrs. Lathrop's party with her singing. She has lovely voice and her selections embrace a pleasing repertoire.
 The trophies of the evening were cor sage bouquets made of violets and lilies

MISS MARY LEE BELL
 HOSTESS AT TEA

Miss Mary Lee Bell was hostess yester- day afternoon at tea in compliment to her guest, Miss Virginia Iden, of Manassas, Va. The pretty home of Miss Bells par ents, Mir. and Mrs. R. N. Bell, of Norwood was the scene of the hospitality and, with
 it's profuSion of crimson carnations and poinsettia blossoms suggested the coming of the Yuletide holiday. This color scheme prevailed in each of the apartments with the exception of the drawing room, in which the hostess and her guest of honor with several others stood to welcome the callers. Here were pink carnations and ferns. Miss Bell was very pretty in her afternoon toilette of pink marquisette over messaline. Miss Iden wore a soft pink costume in which she, was most at tractive, and Mrs. W. A. Jenkins received
 in a pink robe embroidered and lace trimmed Mrs. Bell, who also received m the drawing room, appeared in gray voile q lovely costume and one in which she looked most distinguished; Miss Gertrude Rosenstihl in blue embroidered chiffon was very attractive and Miss India Pal mer and Mrs. J. s. Counselman in dainty light afternoon toilettes completed the re- ceiving line.
 In the dining room Mrs D. G. Hender- son and Mrs. Ralph Russell assisted the hostess by pouring tea and coffee at oppo- site ends of an attractive table. It's cen tral motive was a great cluster of red flowers and the lace cover showed the soft shimmer of red satin beneath.
 Miss Mallie Moughon and Miss Valett Coleman were <two pretty girls serving punch in the library, which had borrow ed its crimson tone from the floral scheme followed elsewhere in the house and was vividly decorated. In the reception nall Miss Lucy Downey and Miss Martha Bell Lyman greeted the guests as they en- tered. Cards were left by over 50 of Miss Bells friends in the younger set.

demand for them has been unprecedented. There is scarcely an Arts and Chaft Shop in any of the large cities that doesn't contain some of her work. She has taken other copies from old Samples and old fashioned China. and has wrought the most beautiful things"
 What an opportunity for anybody who is afflicted, like that poor little crippled woman," I observed, ''and besides, think of what an income 1t means to her"
 "There are cases even nearer home," said Mrs. Stevens Up in North Carolina the natives who make those lovely rag rugs are doing splendid business They are hand made and are really most artis- tic in design and workmanship Hand carving is another field which has been in- vaded by those who have talent in that line. and the old fashioned crocheted bed spreads and old fashioned quilts are in demand by all the fashionable women in the North ard South. Crochet work is the latest fad, and indeed there are many Bir- mingham women who have done beautiful crocheted things. At East Lake there is dear old lady who is crocheting a. quilt for my Gift Shop-she is nearly 90 years old, and does the most beautiful work" ~'The hand fooled leather goods are very popular, aren't they?' I asked, as I was shown many beautiful designs in leather purses, Poudre Vases, Manicure sets, hand bags, and various other things. "Everythng of that sort" was the an- swer, lis fad this Christmas. The deli Of ,,y,lr and white hand embossed in colors, are used more than anything else. Then there are the hand ilumined Place cards for dinners and luncheons. which the artistic hostess is always on the look out for. See these A half dozen. bearing inscriptions from the great French writers La Fontiane, Regnard, La Brugcre, Brillat, Savarin-and here's one from Mo- Here; 'Je wis de bonne soupe. ct none de beau langagae.' The hostess who is giv- ing French luncheon need look no further to carry out her ideas
 ''The Bridge Pads. hand illumined, are among the Novelties" Mrs. Stevens said,
 and there are innumerable things in the way of hanu illumined picture frames, deak sets ard all sorts of articles for the library and dining room. The old fash toned Book Plates are being revived, too; they are hand illumined in beautiful de- sign. Miss Hanna Elliott who is one of Birmingham's cleverest and most talented artists. is doing a number of these at present, and to the book lover no more useful gift could be made at Christmas ' time.'
 "The woman who wants to be pretty, Mrs. Stevens laughingly said in conclu- sion, "has been remembered by the Gift Shop, for there are Boudor Caps of the prettiest design in chiffons and laces and dainty ribbons, and all sorts of other at tractive conceits for the toilette In fact I have tried to gather together variety so that every hand craft might be repre- scented, and I feel sure that Birmingham women can find almost anything that they wish, in my addition to the Tea Room"

DINNERS FOR THE
 OLD LADIES' HOME

Favorable comment and continued pa tronage have been a source of encourage ment to the women of Pettus- Roden chap ter who are conducting the dinner at 30o North 20th street, for the benefit of the Old Ladies' home. The charity com mends itself to many, and the dinner is also excellent. The service of dainty hands adds flavor to a menu which is carefully chosen and food that is cleverly prepared. Many of the business men of the city are having their luncheons with the chapter, and all have been delighted with service and food. Among those to be in charge today are Mrs. w. S. Brown, Mrs. George Morrow, Mrs. F. M. Vance, Mrs. Charles Leeper, Mrs Sevier and Mre. Davidson.

q am the Red Cross Christmas stamp
 And this that I propose is
 To summon wealth and fight for health
 And beat Tuberculosis;
 Beat the greatest plague of all;
 Out of a pail of sadness;
 To treat despair with light and air
 And lift 1t into gladnessp
 The first day of the sale of the Red Cross seals was indicative of a splendid return for the efforts made by the women who are so interested In this great move ment. Each one gave a cheerful and en- thusiastic report to those who asked as to their success yesterday. They have found the public most responsive and the merchants in whose places of business their stamp booths are located most gracious and helpful. Mrs. William I.

Everybody in Birmingham is proud of the many attractions that the Magic City possesses, and there is aNreally "Swelled' Cor would you say Swollen ?'9-up sort of aI effect when .'Brminghamer' begins to enumerate the many remarkable things that WE own that rfo other city in the south can lay claim to-.
 If you happened to "drop in'' at the .eThe Gold Lion Tea Room yesterday, you must have been convinced that one of Birmingham's best "Beauty Spots is this artistic little nook tucked unpreten- tiously away in one of the big "Skyscra- pers,' in the center of town and presided over by the most charming and clever of hostesses, Mrs. s. M P. Stevens.
 With all the lovely Christmas decora- tions, and the usual pretty environs, with the most delicious edibles which the Christmas season affords, and the brand new addition to the Tea Room, in the shape of the Gift Shop just opened, you might have developed the full grown con- viction that you were glad you were liv- ing, and that you were still gladder that you formed part, even tho insignificant, on a great, breathing, living, Christmas Card-a Christmas Card which was done in gold and soft brown tones and jonquil colored lights and shades, and touch of Holly-wreathed Mistletoe-laden tirts, the ensemble of which was most bewitching.
 And you were glad again when you stopped to consider how all this had de- veloped under the artifice and device of a mere lwoman-one who few years ago with talent and ambition started out in a modest way, to make money out of a Tea Room"
 "Of course, the Tea Room is now a 'grown-up,' you see, said Mrs. Stevens between greetings yesterday, with one of Birmingham's busiest Bankers and an- other of her most prosperous Coal opera tors, but the Giftshop, which have just installed this week is mere infant in arms. DO you think people will like it?'
 T can't see why they wouldn't" I am swered.
 "In the East the Gift Shop is the very latest fad,' said Mrs. Stevens, 'and Bir- mingham is so up to date in everything don't see how we can get along without one. You see, in the first place, the Gift Shop offers twofold opportunity; one for the people who want the most exciu- sive handmade articles, and the other for the chance it furnishes to those who can make such things. to sell their handi- work. In Europe and Canada and throughout the North and East, Societies are being formed for revYing the lost arts such as hand weaving. hand carv- ing, hand woven cloths, and such crafts.
 Up in Massachusetts there is a little cripple, woman who for years has been unable to7do anything but hand work" continued Mrs. Stevens. "She has taken up the old fashioned Cross stitching --em- Lyoidery and Crocheting. Her patterns have been sent all over the world. and tAe
