BIRMINGHAM SOCIETY AS
 PICTURED IN ANOTHER CITY

In the recent edition of the Knoxville Sentinel a page is attractively decorated
 with a group of southern society girls
 buds from the social gardens of other
 cities, they are called. Birmingh is
 beautifully represented by Miss Eleanor
 Graves Matthews and Miss Clara Lee Woodson, of whom the following Is said
 Miss Eleanor Graves Matthews Is the
 beautiful young daughter of Mir. and
 Mrs. Harrison Stewart Matthews of Bir- mingham, Ala. She made her debut last fall with a series of eight dinners. Miss
 Matthews, when a schoolgirl, visited her cousin, Mrs. Andrew IT. Nave, on White
 avenue and received a brilliant tea.
 given in honor of her mother, by Mrs
 Nave who was noted as Ellie Graves
 for great charm of manner as a popular Alabama belle.
 'In the list of Birmingham buds none has received greater need of admiration than Miss Clara Lee Woodson. She Is not only lovely In appearance, but re- markably cultured. Entertainments by the score heralded the advent of this young girl into the ranks of Birming- ham belle"
 Form each city of prominence was sent a story of the activities of society in that particular locality. The story of Birmingham' social life was pie tured briefly and comprehensively by Matte Webb Baugh-Mrs. Robert Baugh of this city, who has been SC long identified with 1t that she was well equipped to give condensed story of tba pastimes that make life so thor oughly worth while In our energetlc city.
 Wrote Mrs. Baugh:
 "The Country club plays an import ant part in our society life Almost all the large bridge parties. debut recep- tions and dances, musicales and after noon teas are given there, to say noth- ing of many dinner parties. On Sat- urday night a special dinner is served and well patronized, with music and dancing to follow. These dinner dances are very popular, and usually there are quite a number of them served to gay young and old folk each Saturday night which affords a pretty ball room after1 ward
 "The golf course of IS holes at the club adds yet another feature of enter tainment. There are several hundred golf enthusiasts among the masculine membe ership and at least 50 ladies play regularity. Tennis, also. has taken on new life as the warm weather ap- proaches The exceptionally fine cafe attached to the club receives splendid patronage from the members.
 "The southern club also lends itself
 to the enjoyment of both the men and
 women of our city. Each day at noon
 many of the ladies may be found lunch ing there and on Sunday evening a musical programme Is rendered, when the cafe Is filled with dinner parties
 The. season is opened by the Southern
 club each Thank sgiving with a large
 reception and ball, to which the whole social contingent look forward with
 keenest anticipation, and In which the
 whole city takes a personal pride. An
 other big occasion follows at MarIi

 in her pleasuring. The non-car owner is rather the exception, even many

HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT"
 SEATS PLACED ON SALE

Seats for the performance of The House That Jack Built" the operetta to be given under the auspices of the Asso- ciated Charities Saturday afternoon and night and Monday night, will be placed on sale at the box office in the Orpheum theatre at clock this morning.
 Judging from the interest that is being taken in the event there will be crowded houses at each performance. All of the children in the entertainment have many
 local friends and they will be on hand to witness the success of the little ones
 and to applaud their every effort. The committee for the prevention of infant mortality, which has special supervision over the entertainments and to which the
 money received will go, is enthusiastic over the success of the preliminary fea- lures. This committee is composed of 35 or more of the more prominent women of Birmingham.
 The most prominent children and young men and women of this city will imper- sonate the characters known to practi- cally every one from the old days of the
 nursery and they will probably astonish
 many members of the audience by their
 clever acting and singing. Those who have seen the rehearsals, recently, agree that this will be the case. Jessie l.. Gay nor, who wrote tkis delightful opera, is represented by Miss Margaret R. Martin In charge of the production, and her yer dict is that the Birmingham children are
 beautiful and attractive to an unusual degree. She prophecies production that will be a credit to the city and which should be rich harvest for the Asso- ciated Charities or that particular branch
 thereof represented by the committee for tEe prevention of infant mortality.
 There will be approximately 200 in the case and chorus and they will furnish a glorious spectacle of all that counts for attractiveness in dramatic and musical endeavor and entertainment. Perhaps the secret of the success of the little members Of the cast and chorus lies in the fact that they are all so vitaly interested in the personality of every character in the plays story. The fairy land they have dreamed about and the heard on mother S knee becomes reality to them and to live in it-sing, dance and talk in it-is so much like a dream come true that they develop unconscious grace and talent. And above all they display naturalness
 which no artificial trainng could ever give them. Seats have been in the hands of the lit- tie ones for several days already but these are not reserved. They can be re- served, however, at the box office after 9 o'clock this morning.

MISS NELL DONAHOO
 WEDS MIR. BAKER

A simple but pretty wedding of yes terday was that of Miss Nell Donahoo and Mir. Sterling Baker, which took place at the bride's home at 3:30 o'clock.
 The residence was tastefully decorated with palms and ferns, while a profrision of white roses added an attractive touch. An improvised altar of palms and white flowers was made in the drawing room and here the VOWS were pronounced by the Rev. Father Fian. About 75 friends of the young people witnessed the mar riage rites.
 Miss Donahoo was attended by her sis ter Miss Mattie Donahoo, as maid of honor. She wore a becoming white lace gown and carried brides roses. The bride was dressed for travelling in blue tail ored suit with smart hat and accessories en suite. Her flowers were brides' roses and lilies of the valley.
 About seventy-fve friends of the young people were present Following the cere- mony reception was held. The brides table was prettiy decorated and an ice

 The Riding club is another organ ization which is immensely popular, and surely horseback riding is one of the sanest. most wholesome pleasures for women, and the wonder is there is so little interest manifested in this form of pleasure through out the new south. Again Birmingham Is to the fore
 "But bridge is the steady pleasure for the big majority of women, that sticks close and never tires. There are num- bers of clubs of not more than four, eight and 12 members. In fact, even the bridge parties are rarely more than four or five tables.

Friday is literary club day. and a large number of our leading women lend their time and talents to the many good works carried on amongst us Notable among the number are the In- dustrial school for wayward boys, the Boys club for the little newsies, the Mercy Home for any castoff child, the Rescue home for unfortunate girls and many other charities.
 'No, in the midst of her unprecedented pleasuring, Birmingham never forgets cul- ture of mind and heart and she is noted for her good works among the poor whom we have with us always"

Notes of the Game

Pennington pulled off a play in the
fourth inning which was served up in
a mysterious manner to some of the
fans. Lober was on first base and An

ming got under. But instead of catch
ing the ball Pennington allowed it to
drop without making an effort to ga
Their 1t in He then threw to second
and forced Lober, making Andrews
the base runner The play we'll shows
the keeness of the Keokuk third base
man. In the first place when such a
thing is done there is always chance
to make double play This can only
result, however, in event the batter
does not run to first, thinking the
ball will be caught In the instance
yesterday it gave Kewanee Andrews
AS slow base runner instead of Lo
Der, who is considered a fast man
Evidently both the possibility Of a
double play and the certainty of a
slower runner entered the fertile
mind of the chief.
Murray had them popping the bal
high in the air rather than RETIRING
them via the strikeout route.

likely oppose him. In the second game
