One day last week the papers an- nounced among other items of news that charming young woman from New York was visiting very popular hos tess in Birmingham.
 The news went by, for the nonce as 9 mere item of news but an additional thrill was added when the announce ment came that the young woman in question was a musician of ineomparable talent
 She was little heralded young wom- an, having been in this country for only a very short time, but once it was noised among us that Miss Anna Often dor It was none ether than she) was violin iste of great reputation abroad as well as in New York and Philadelphia and ether cities in which she has recently appeared with the great orchestras. Bir- n1ingham immediately began to "sit up and take notice" for Birmingham never misses a trick" especially in the Music line.
 Many people saw Miss Often; few had heard her play, but they began to ask questions concerning this mere slip of [ girl, fair and slight, and spirituelle like some pre-Raphaelite young creature. looking for all the world like a figure in Rosetti CT a Burne-Jones painting.
 When one of Birminghams best musl- clans was asked if she had heard Miss otten play. the remark came quickly:
 NO; but if she plays as well as she looks it will be splendid.''
 A pretty compliment. and I predict a eouble success de beaute,' one for her looks. the other for her playing-when seh appears at the Musicale in her honor tomorrow afternoon.
 Miss Often is very naive, and sensl- tive, and reserved when 1t comes to re- tailing her own successes, at home or abroad Indeed, I should say that she is the most "un-cornmercial person lave ever known. saying always as she does most percmptorily that 'qt Is her art and not herself that she presents" and so it wasn't easy. this Interviewing" business with her, let me say. en passant

At the same time the fox was lov -
the hounds were started on a se>en-
mile drag hunt which led up to the
point whore the fox began his race.
This gave the fox half an hours start
OF the pack and gave the field and the
hounds q good breather before the real
scent was picked up.
The fox was brought to this city last
week by Richard Cloughton. who
caught him when riding with the Nor
folk Hunt Club Of Norfolk, Va. The
fox 10 an old one and has fooled the
hounds on several occasions. The pack
following him today Is not experienced

Of the fox making his escape.
