NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT
 AT COUNTRY CLUB

If has been a year since last Christi mas Eve, but the good fellowship, the gayety, music and dancing at the Country club remain the greenest mem ories in the minds of many who spent the last Saturday evening of the year in that genial place. This Saturday the dinner dance promises to be the bright est that the club has ever seen and society anticipates it with keenest pleasure. Reservations are already be- ing made for tables, for there IS sen timent about the Christmas Eve dinner dance which dictates that little parties of friends share them each succeeding year. and one will note the same little groups with occasionally new and favored friend, gathered into the num- ber The steward has especially asked that reservations of tables be made not later than Thursday. And why? Be- cause Santa Claus is to arrive ahead of schedule in Birmingham and visit the Country club on this occasion with a gift in his pack for every dinner guest His tree, glistenng and spark ling with gilt and tinsel and many col ored lights, will stand in the center of the ball room. Stacked beneath, and hanging from it's frosted branches, will be packages stamped and labeled for each of his children. So that each may be remembered and no guest fail of even this afternoon, it is necessary to have all reservations made tomorrow.
 The Christmas dinner will be thing of beauty and joy that bids fair to outbalance any lack of home and fire side for the Country club bachelor. It will be typical Christmas dinner with the praiseworthy bird of time honored prestige as it's central figure, and other dainty and appropriate morsels making attractive and inviting adjuncts. The club will be an appropriate setting for a holiday festivity; it's gay interior frightened with .mistletoe,a, holly and Christmas bells
 In the ball room Mir Edward Craw- ford will be in charge and a successful and beautiful cotillon is assured.

 LARGE AUDIENCE

Miss Louise Dooly in Mondays At lantaC constitution had this to say:
 Mrs. Aldrich at the piano conveys the inevitable impression of broad ca pabiity. It would be a safe risk to suggest that she could probably do anything she might want to do (except vote) Her manner at the instrument is that of preparation and confidence, and it does not belle the nature of her work Her technique is foregone conclusion, but she has real brilliance, vigor that copes easily with the strength of even Slavic temperament, and clear cut dic- tion and pure quality of tone in lighter passages, which were especially effec- tive in the strongly contrasting charac- ter of the three concerto movements. The introduction of the first movement as she played it, by the way, did not have the full sympathy of the musicians present, who knew the work. Her read ing was interesting but not traditional Any liberty she took in this instance
