Hundreds Of Summer Frocks
For Women and the Younger
Set---Quite inexpensive

drity'-fromt the Romance OF the Summer Girl.
Curious, is it not, that the heroine is always pictured In a frock
of simplicity? But after all these are the ideal Summer Frocks.
And it is just such styles that are seldom r~eady-made. As we
realized this fact we have put forth our best ~endeavors to create
Just such little Frocks of dainty materials, with simple trimmings
and fashioned them in the styles that one would be apt to have
made under one's personal supervision. No, these are not dressy
frocks, but the kind that should be represented by six or eight
styles in every Summer wardrobe-for morning wear on the
piazza, along the beach, or at the country club.
Lawns and dimities are delightful, with their quaint colored
pintings. Voiles are striped, dotted and checked. Then, too,
we have frocks Of cotton voiles, Lorraine tissues, Arnold prints;
striped ginghams, striped and checked zephyrs and dotted
Swisses. One might call the trimmings artistic, as the thread and
Valenciennes laces, embroideries and touches of silk and velvet
ribbons are so cleverly designed.

 Clubs to Meet
NOTES ABOUT PEOPLE
By MYRTLE MILES

As the time approaches TOT the local music festival and Atlantas season of grand opera. in which society here is always interested, a glance at re- suits as achieved in musical ventures is particularly interesting. An editorial which gave a number of statictics as to the balance of the financial and the artistic sides of the grand opera sea- son in New York and Chicago ap- peared in journal of Saturday. It shows that the same idea prevails here in Birmingham as in the larger cities when the question of financial gain for the appearance of the great artists Is concerned. The men who acted last year as guarantors for the music fes- tival did so with the expectation of losing rather than making money on the production of the concerts. The audiences, however, little more than paid for the productions. Again this year the guarantors are coming for ward in generous spirit.
 With the number of fine artists who are to appear here with Victor Herbert there is brilliant prospect for crowd ed houses, At any rate it is becom- ing a recognized fact that for real art one must expect to pay price.
 There is an increasing love of music in all of the American cities of cul- ture and enterprise: in Birmingham tn great number of people are verify mu- sic hungry and it will not be surpris- ing If conditions in our small theatre are similar to those in the great Met ropolitan auditorium. which is yet not large enough to satisfy the demands of the eager public. The editorial above referred to makes the following comment:
 Now that the opera season is draw ing to close it is. time to glance at .esults. In spite Of the loss of MT Hammersteins competition we have had a great year of opera. Never in the history of music have there been two such splendidly equipped operatic organizations existent in one commun- ity. We get spoiled in these days when we can hear Toscanini conducting the "Meistersinger" one night with his wonderful band and the next night we have Campanini with an equally good put quite separate OrcnStra play1nS "Louise' or "Tha;s." That is to say we would get spoiled, if we could hear them. Unfortunately the Metropolitan holds only a small portion of those who would like to hear good opera It is not a question of price alone, but Of capacity. It has been practically impossible this year for anyone who is not a subscriber to get a seat or the orchestra floor for any but trt least popular performances And ", hear rumors of higher prices next year The margin of profit at the Metropol itan is very small. In this most sue cessful season when the house has beer sold out nearly every night the re ceipts have averaged a little over $9O0t and the cost is just about that figure for each performance.
 Outside of New York the problem i: more difficult. MT. Dippel came out about even in Chicago and lost $100,- coo in PhiladelphiaJ Mir. Stoesbury magnificently foots the bill. and vii do so again next year.

 CASE REVISED

Charlotte, N. C., April 11.-A new turn in the case of the United States against Masters & Sbley, promoters of the Abe marie Development company, brought to an abrupt end the indictments when Judge James E. Boyd this morning in structed the jury to render verdict of not guilty in view of the fact that the indictment was brought under a statute which went into effect January l, 1911, and therefore was an ex-post facto law The defendants were charged with using the mails to defraud in connection with an alleged attempt to promore fradulent sale of lands at Albemarie, N. c.

J. B. HObdy Writes

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: Dear Sir: Your correspondent at this place, under date of April s, in his wef- erence to the passage in the house Of bill to establish a dormitory in connec- tion with the Seventh District Agrieul- tural school does Representative Joe Johnson a grave injustice. I quote from the article as follows:
 lowing to the fact that Representa- tive Johnson from this county is op- posed to any bill passing the legislature that would benefit Albertville, Senator Brown and President Bobdy have had a hard fight on their hands, and their friends are congratulating them on .heir victory won today
 The dormitory bill referred to above was introduced by Messrs Brown and Johnson in both the house and senate, at the same time. Each was enthusiastic in his efforts to secure it's passage and at no time did the interest of either lag. The loyalty of MT. Johnson. so often re- ferred to by me. was never once ques- toned by any citizen of Albertville. Not only did he exert his best efforts to se- cure the passage Of the dormitory bill but there Is no member of the house to whom more credit can be justly given than to him for the final passage of the agricultural school maintenance bill, ana at tnlS tune he IS laDOrnlg Tor US passage in the senate.
 Your correspondent has evidently spoken without having sought informa- tion regarding the position of the gentle man from Marshall. 1ne mistatement of facts Is doubtless presumed because of Mir. Johnson's position on the Albert vile branch court measure, which seeks to abolish court here. Your correspond ent either does not know the man of whom he wrote or else has only a pass ing acquaintance with him.
 MT. Johnson's position on the court question. was clearly defined by him on the stump during the campaign and was fully understood by every citizen of AL bertvile. He was open in his fight to abolish the court, and in his efforts in that direction he only did what he said he would do, if elected to represent the county
 Personally. I regard him very highly, believe him to be sincere in his position on the court question and know that he would not oppose any legislation which he thought would benefit the people of Marshall county. Marshall is to be con- graduated upon having in the house of representatives man true to his convic- tions. Albertville is indeed fortunate in that the gentleman who represents her is
 
 would have him appear.
 Representative Jonnsons record Is an open one on all school questions. His first interest has been for the public schools, and next for his district agri- cultural school. Very truly.
 J. B. HOBDY, President Seventh District Agricultural School
 The following message has been tele- graphed to MT. Johnson:
 Hon. Joe Johnson, Montgomery, Ala: Tn behalf of the citizens of Albert vile we desire to assure you of our confidence in you. and of yur apprecia- tion of your successful efforts in behalf of our school.
