NEW YEAR RECEPTION FOR TWO HONOREES

Miss Ella May Archibald and Miss Louise Archibald were hostesses yesterday at an afternoon tea in compliment to Miss Augusta Clarke and to Miss Clara Louise Haley of Nashville, entertaining the col lege set from to clock, and the debu- tantes and a few young matrons from 4 to 6 o'clock. Despite the downpour which has so gloomily introduced the New Year, a large number of cards were left at the home of the two popular hostesses
 rae Archibald residence was attractive ly decorated for the tea. The holiday season was suggested in the reception hall, library and dning-room where red blossoms were used in profusion among the smilax and ferns. In the drawing room however, pink roses and carnations varied the decorative plan. Standing there during the early hour of the tea were Miss Louise Archibald, Miss Augusta Clarke Miss Ella May Archibald: Miss Clara Louise Haley, Miss Orline Barnett, Miss Louise Musgrove of Anniston, and Miss Marguerite Sibley. The callers were welcomed in the hall by Miss Mary Brad shaw and Miss Sara Dryer.

and stated that he had plans which could not be made public, which he believed would secure favorable action
 Alderman Huddleston was called upon and explained the course which the via duct question has taken. He believed that the council will pass the viaduct or dinance "All the politicians are on the other side," he declared. but stated that he had been lobbying and had won over a number to his way of thinking.
 MT. Huddleston insisted that Blrming- ham needs 20 viaducts just as much as the two in question, and that there is no reason for giving up all the streets and avenues for the first one. He thought that the legislature should be induced to leave the streets open, and that the city should take advantage of the state law which makes it the duty of the rail- roads to build the viaducts at their own expense. This course has been followed in Denver and Chicago and can be done in Birmingham" he said. '1 would rath- CT leave all the crossings at grade and put in gates and watchmen for the pro- tection of life, rather than ruin a sec ton of the city, give these corporations millions of dollars worth of property and | establish a precedent which would ab- solutely prevent our getting any further viaducts.''
 W. B. Dickinson added his protest, ably seconded by w. N. Malone and A. J. Krebs.
 Mir Krebs said that he was for any thing reasonable He did not want all the streets opened, but he would protest against closing any of them forever. He i, urged the meeting to settle upon some definite plan and make fight for It.

HAMILL SLATED
 TO SUCCEED BELL

Ed N. Mamill the well known attor ney and former mayor of North Ha ven. will in all probability be the nexl temporary judge of the city court to succeed Judge Robert N. Bell, who ten dered his resignation yesterday. Judge Bells resignation will go into effect January II, at which time the othe eI three judges of the city court-H. A Sharpe, c. w. Ferguson and c. c. Ne smith-will choose successor.
 Judge Bell was appointed to the bench by the city court judgeship last fall because of the illness of Judge c A. Senn. Judge Senn has not resign ed but Is on leave of absence at gull resort in search of health.
 Judge Bells successor must be named by the city court judges and not by the governor, who will not appoint anyone to the vacancy unless Judge Senn, the regularly elected incumbent tenders his resignation. Judge Senn's term of office expires on the first Monday after the second Tuesday ir January, 1913. It Is not believed he intends to resign.
 It is generally believed that MT Hamill will receive. the app ointment though there are several who are can didates for the temporary judgeship.

NOTES HERE AND THER]
BY MYRTLE MILES

Commenting upon the celebration or Christmas in various sections of the country, a society magazine mentions the old-time New Years reception as it IS conducted in Baltimore, as follows:
 While the old custom of New Year s visiting as it was in the past has died out in Baltimore, as elsewhere, it has been partly revived by the afternoon re- ception and by the hospitable custom of serving egg-nog, the annual holiday drink among southerners. These are informal gatherings, though it would be impossible to visit as the former generation did. They began early in the morning, 1t is true and continued until the wee sma' hours of January 2 Every woman either stayed at her own home or joined friends to receive callers. They were all in ball costume and refreshments including the egg -nog, of course, were always ready. Among those who will receive in- formally this year are MT. and Mrs. Michael Jenkins, Mir. and Mrs Douglas II. Gordan, MT. and Mrs. Bruce Cot ten, MT. and Mrs. Edward McKeon, MT. and Mrs. Gordon Paine and MT. ,and Mrs. Ral Parr.
 Secretary and Mrs. P. c. Knox held an interesting Christmas reunion, accord ing to the same journal, not in Washing ton but at Valley Forge where, for two days, they were surrounded by their chill dren. A Christmas tree was erected for their only grandchild, Philander Chase Knox, Sd. the son of MT. and Mrs. r1 of cbippton but now residents of the Valley Forge estate. MT. and Mrs. James R. Tindel (the latter the only daughter of the fam ily) also reside at Valley Forge in a home built since the purchase of the property. by Secretary Knox. The young est son, MT. Phlander Knox, Jr., and his youthful wife, also joined the family party for the weekend. Their elope- ment and marriage made a little stir about a year ago. They are now living at Wayne, Pa MT. Hugh Knox, the only unmarried son of the family, will be in Washington this winter for the first time, serving as an under secretary to his father and making the acquaintance of his parents friends. He is graduate of Yale, class '07, and inherits much of the intelligence and humor of his dis tinguished father whom he greatly re- sembles. Secretary and Mrs. Knox will give breakfast to the members of the diplomatic corps on January ?. The "of- ficial season" In Washington will open on Monday with the morning reception at the White House, when it will be the duty of every official from the vice pres- ident to the last assistant secretary of commerce and labor to pay his respects to the President and Mrs. Taft, who will receive from II until 1 o'clock. This an- nual lat home,' for which no cards are issued, is arranged through each of the great departments.

o The citizens and property owners in Twenty eighth street sites for the pro- posed viaducts are actively opposing the vacating of the streets from Twenty-flfth to Thirty-second streets and Second ave- nue and are organizing to combat the action to the last ditch.

 This afternoon at o'clock the property owners of Second avenue will meet at the Jefferson hotel to make the same protest and take action looking to the opening of Second avenue from end to end.

NEW YEAR COTILLON AT PHOENIX CLUB

One of the most brilliant affairs of the season was the New Year cotillon given last evening at the Phoenix club The beautiful rooms were decorated for the occasion in holiday greenery. The ball room was especially handsome, with the balcony outlined in smilax and bam- boo and the rafters twined with the deli cate green vines. The grill room, how ever, was unusually pretty, even for a club in which so much attention is given to handsome decoration. It was a typi- cal Japanese garden. In the center was a huge table whose centerpiece was a pyra- mid of alternating pink and white flow CTS, enchanteress carnations formed the lowest row of blossoms; the next was of narsicci the following of carnations and thus to the top which was a basket filled with pink Killarney rosebuds. Sur rounding were small tables arranged among the palms for little parties of four guests. Suspended above were Jap anese umbrellas brilliantly lighted with incandescents sheathed with brilliantly colored lanterns. The tables were 24 in number. An elaborate supper was served between the hours of Il: 80 and O clock.
 The german was opened by MT. Leo Oberdorfer, the president of the club, with Mrs. Steiner. A cotillon of especially beautiful figures was led by MT. Steiner and participated in by about 75 couples.
