THE SOCIAL CALENDAR
By MYRTLE MILES

The Growlers' dance at the Country club last evening was one of the most attractive events of the winter. The Growlers include about 80 of the younger men of Birmingham. They entertain with an annual Christmas german, and during the summer extend several Inequalities of more formal nature. Their invitations are always coveted, for they are delight- full hosts. The personnel of the club in- eludes some of the most prominent and popular young men in society. MT. Elwyn Cobbs is it's president.
 The club was beautifully decorated for
 the dance with Christmas bells, holly. mistletoe, poinsettia and an abundance of greens. A dainty luncheon was served during the evening, bon bons and ices following the holiday suggestion. The party included the seasons de-
 butantes and the visiting girls. In the
 group were Miss Roberta Porter, Miss
 Virginia Abbott, Miss Mary Lou Cobb
 Miss Carroll Woodson, Miss Belle Rob-
 erts, Miss Josephine Cosby Miss Annie
 Blinn, Miss Harriet Fitts, Miss Marine Harrison, Miss Charlotte Hopkins, Miss
 Elsie Gilett, Miss Dorothy Walker, Miss Edith Gibbs and others, each of whom was at her very best in some pretty even ing gown.
 Among the married people whom the Growlers invited to receive with them were MT. and Mrs. Henry Lee Badham.
 MT. and Mrs. Culpepper Exum, MT. and
 Mrs. Harry Coffin, MT. and Mrs. w. N M A A Mr and Mrs. Webb Crawford, Mir and Mrs. Charles O. Locke, MT. and Mrs. Nelson Snow, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Estes, MT. and Mrs. Hudson Barkers and MT. and
 Mrs. Roscoe Mcconnell.
 The cotillon was led by MT. Maurice Henderson, with Miss Helen Hawkins of Atlanta. He was assisted by MT. Mel vile Davis dancing with Miss Florence
 Coffin. The pretty visiting girl and the
 Birmingham girl were both beautifully gowned for the occasion. Miss Hawkins appeared in a brown chiffon costume
 made over yellow satin and garnitured with bronze lace. She carried an arm cluster of American beauty roses. Miss Coffin wore an imported robe-a white chiffon embroidered with field daisies, and draped over light green satin. A broad
 white fringe lent graceful finish to a gown which was especially suited to the exquisitely dainty type of her beauty. She also carried American beauty roses. The cotillon was unusually beautiful,
 the figures having been planned with es- | pecial care by two capital leaders. A moonlight figure was surprising and very Ad a1 only the rays of huge moon above the musicians gallery lighted the room with a soft radiance. In another moon light figure a confetti shower was eff fected to suggest a snowstorm. The de- butantes and visitors were favored in a huge pasteboard box, from which they were chosen by their fingers, which were peeping out through the holes in the box.
 A pretty conceit was the slipper favor,
 and another, the ponsettia. Toy horns,
 drums and other articles were also used to make the cotllon interesting and most
 enjoyable.
