 Coronation Plans-Other Topics

Now that the busy season of society is over, engagement books present many blank pages save for an entry here and there for some entertainment for charity and the meetings of the various literary clubs and some of the bridge tables which will continue to take up the mornings. The spirit of travel has already seized upon many, and the outgoing steamers are filled. The exodus from Birmingham will not be in full swing before June, but many are talking of plans for a for eign tour. Those who go to Europe expect to be in time for the coronation cere- mony, which this year takes the place of the Passion Play, which last year at tracted so many across the warer.
 As to the personnel of the peers and peel esses who will be present at the coro- nation some rather quaint customs are mentioned in a magazine of the week, which makes the following comment:
 Every peer and peeress has a right to be present at a coronation ceremony, minors
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-08


 and Irish peers holding seats in the house of commons excepted. His majesty, it appears intends to allow both the latter to enjoy the privileges. Peeresses in their own right also have the right to be pres ent In no circumstances whatever can a divorced peeress attend, though this does not apply to peer in similar sltu- ation. When accommodation has been found for all the peers and peeresses other claims are considered. The number of foreign royalties attending the coro- nation will not be as large as it was at the crowning of King Edward, so that there will be more space at the disposal of the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk. Indian native princes and colonial repre- sentativcs are coming in great numbers. At the express wish of King George the press is to have every facility on the oc- casion. When King Edward was crowned accommodation accorded the press was very bad indeed, and though there was no actual grumbling in print, there was much in private. This was communicated to the King who some months ago sent for a well-known editor and placed the press arrangements for the all-important day in his hands.

MRS. w. D. HAMMET
 A HOSTESS AT TEA

A graceful hospitality and one essential- ly in keeping with the quiet and infor- mality of the Lenten period, was the aft ernoon tea to which Mrs. w. D. Ham,
 met invited a number of her friends yes- terday. She has charming visitor, Mrs. Leonard Schorr of Cincinnati, and in or der that her friends might have the
 pleasure of knowing her they were in- vited to drink a cup of tea with her at the Country club between 4 and o'clock. Over 100 cards were left.
 The club presented a charming welcome. Clusters of tulips and other sweet blos- sons made the scene typical of spring. The tea table with an enormous basket of yellow tulips and narcssi on which was perched a great bow of tulle. while surrounding it on the lace cloth were candles topped with jonquil shades and bowls of yellow and white bon-bons, was
 particularly gracious with Mrs. w. K.
 Murdoch presiding over the silver sam
 ovar. Mrs. Murdoch's vivacious cordial ity and that of Mrs. Hammet's otner as
 sistant hostesses, made the afternoon one
 of especial delightsomeness.
 Mrs. Hammet and her guest of honor,
 Mrs. Schorr, greeted the callers standing in the alcove. There was no formal line, the small coterie asked to assist Mrs. Hammet in the offices of hospitality be- ing distributed in the various rooms of the club to make the tea hour pleasant
 for the guests. They were Mrs. w. G. Oliver, Mrs. Ernest Redd Mrs. J. R.. Simpson, Mrs. William Pittman Redd,
 Mrs. Noise of Savannah, Mrs. Thomas | Winfield, Miss Myrtle Miles, Mrs. Nina
 Southgate, Mrs. Richard Massey, Mrs.
 Spier Whitaker and Mrs. Norman Morri- | son.

Life'S Picture Screens
 And What They ReOeal
Exactly Like One of Those Panoramic Battle of Gettysburg Canvases-Have You Ever Thought of How Many Ma tionaities You Encounter In the Streets During Day?-Interesting Kaleidoscope Present
 ed That Tells Varied Story
uv DOLLY DALRYMPLR

"Isn't the world-the days happenings exactly like one of those panoramic Battle of Gettysburg canvases that moves so gradually you don't see it go- ing until a lot of other people suddenly swim into your line of vision?" asked 'The Peach" of "The Major with whom she was having a cup of tea.
 "The Major" remarked that no pano- rama artist would ever live who could draw Gettysburg as 1t was, and then said:
 But, what have you been seeing young lady?"
 q never thought about it before," she replied, "but here it is--nearly o'clock, and I've met at least 20 different nation- alities in the street today-and what I've seen people doing, why, it's regular jumbled-up vaudeville performance. isn't 1t Major?''
 If you'd tell me-" be begged just what you mean-you know that persons your age and mine usually mean such different things
 Well" :" said The Peach, Ito begin with, my breakfast began my day as it does with everybody else. Of course, the servants. who served it, were all colored. That's one race of people. Then when started out, I went to market, and there bought meat from an Irish butch CT, and bread from German baker, and vegetables from perfectly good Dago, while on my way down the street l stopped and bought some candy from a Greek. A little later an Armenian woman came down the street with a lot of crocheted work. and then met friend of mine and we went to shop where an Italian waited on us jabbering in broken English all the while.
 ''Well, that is rather an interesting setting to days amusement" sug- gested the Major.
 "The next person we met was Chi uese laundrynan weighted down with col lars and shirts, taking them to their destination" related The. Peach. When we went to lunch my friend said she had . young. Japanese student friend who was passing through here on his way

to New Orleans, and he was going to meet us. Later a Dutch cellist gave a recital. And by this time I was taking notes surrepttiously as to what nation ality would present itself on the screen next"
 And were you disappointed?" asked the Major.
 Not a bit,' said The Peach. My friend and I went to the union station with the Jap student and while we were there you never have seen such a pro- cession file in. There were five people, evidently of one. family, who wore big hoop earrings, and queer looking clothes, and these I took to be gypses. Some one suggested that they were wandering minstrels' musicians, or may be some leftover Russian dancers. As we took our seats in the waiting room, near me, observed a youth who looked like he would read such things as the Smart Set or Bernard Shaw, but whom I found to be immersed in Queechy, or the Wide, Wide World. That was the most astonishing thing of the day. I might have expected his grandmother if she were alive to be reading something as tame as Miss Warmers beloved old classic, but for him, this up-to-date look ing youth, to be so enganed-why it made me gasp!"
 gaspr
 "Then what?" the Major inquired in- terestedly.
 "Isnt that enonugh for one day?" The Peach replied. And then I came here to the tea room to have nice cup of tea with you"
 "And I suppose in relating your story, you'll say I am the tag end of the pro- cession, the calliope that always fin ishes up the circus parade, eh?'
 Doesn't dessert always come last?' The Peach asked coyly. And isn't des- sert the best part of the dinner, Mayor?"
 That depends upon how bad the rest of the dinner was,' the Major said hedg- ing

In the pretty luncheon served at the small tables after the games the color scheme was also in evidence.
 Miss Ballenger received her guests wearing a blue embroidered net robe, in which she looked lovely. Miss Stacey, who is a stunning brunette, was also gowned in smart afternoon creation Of light blue.
 Miss Balenger served delicious green ice at the table in the dining room. A cascade of white carnations adorned the center of the table, which was covered with lace and held comports of green bon-bons.

 club. with Mrs. Marie Stapleton-Murray of Pittsburg as soloist. The club has for
 many seasons given music lovers the pleasure of their chorus work with the addition of celebrated artists, but this season has proven an exception, their en- tire attention being given to private re- hearsal. It will be q pleasure to their friends to hear the progress that their

Insanity Discouraged

From the Albany Journal.
 At least as far as the courts are con- concerned, the Thaw case is at las. a closed incident.
 Dismissals by the court of appeals of Thaw's appeal from the judgment of the appellate division rejecting his con- tention that he was illegally detain- ed in a state hospital for the insane, puts an end to efforts to secure his re- lease through action of the courts.
 The moral effect of this conclusion of an unsavory case cannot be doubted. The principle has been established that when person convicted of crime es- capes the penalty prescribed by law, on the ground that he is mentally ir- responsible. that judgment must stand, and he must remain restrained of his liberty
