Her guests met over the bridge tables at the Country club, which has furnished the background for so many social pictures this winter, and there were almost 100 in number. The club is the chosen place for large bridge parties, and because of it's tremendous living room. library and dining room, which are as one, and in which many tables may be placed SO that games and one sees everyone else. Mrs. Ellis in the role of hostess was alto gether ideal, just as one could pro- nounce every detail of her lovely party. Killarney roses gracefully adorned the various great rooms of the club and formed a pleasing center motive on the coffee table.
 The prizes were in keeping with the ex- quislte taste of the hostess. The first was silver sandwich tray heavily embossed. Another was a crystal teapot tile with silver deposit and still another was a handsome serving tray. This was the consolation and was drawn from tray of favors which included an assortment of fruits. A delicious two-course lunch con was served from the club buffet at the close of the afternoon.
 Mrs Ellis welcomed her guests wear ing a French gown of charmeuse with an overdress of marquisette showing an effective combination of deep blue and pink, with touches of jet. The matrons who received with her were also superb ly gowned. Among them were Mrs w. N. Malone, Mrs. J. Rivers Carter, Mrs. George Huntington Clark, Mrs. McLester, Mrs. <Benson Cain and Mrs. Benjamin Griggsby Copeland. Seated at the 20 tables were a number of young matrons. In the picturesque costumes of winter graceful bridge gowns and rich plumed hats-they presented picture not soon to be forgotten, and many commented upon the fact that the Birmingham wom en never looked prettier

NEW YORK, April 10.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at decline
of Gail points In response to lower
cables than due. rather heavy realizing
and local selling. Prices soon showed a
net loss of about GAP points. but the new
crop continued relatively steady. owing
to furthes. rains in the central belt. and
as soon as the early selling orders in
spired by less favorable foreign advices
had been executed, the market turned
steadier on covering and a renewal of
bull support. Private cables attributed the
easy showing of Liverpool to realizing,
freer southern offerings and less active
trade demand. although the spot sales
amounted TO 10000 bales.
Trading was less active during the late
forenoon, but prices ruled steady and
some four or FIVE points up from the low

private wires from the central belt re-
porting that low lands had been flooded
and crop operations delayed from one to
three weeks in consequence. These ad-
