MRS. B. F. WILKINSON

Among the beautiful, accomplished
women who have come to Birmingham
recently, none has been more appreciated
or given a more cordial reception than
Mrs b. f. Wilkerson.
Mrs. WiIkerson is a woman of striking
personality. her splendid height and
strong, 1.-the body making her an impos-
ing, forceful figure. and she has that
charm about her that is irresistible. in
observation-disclosures call it wnsome, for 1t
comes and goes with the smile in her big,
gray-blue eyes that remind one of deep
blue English violets.
Her voice has that fascinating quality
that draws you to her as she tells you In
the most charming manner of her "fads"
and "fancies.''
Mrs. WiIkerson, like. the cleverest OF
modern women, realizes the art of ex-
pressing her beauty largely in her mode
of dress, and she follows frequently the
French idea of matching the colors of
her eyes with those lovely, soft shades of
blue which are so tantalizingly becoming;
at least she was gowned that way when
was chatting with her yesterday about
her especial tier-"Interpretative Read
ing"
Mrs. Wilkerson very frankly confesses
that her love for her chosen art is en-
tirely without any thought of IAN axe to
grind" purely and simply from love
of the beautiful in Literature, Music and
1.-THE Art of Expression.
Chatting with me about her studies and
appearance in "Cantillation' the coming
winter in Birmingham, she expressed her
self as being very happy in having such
accomplished and talented women to work
with as Mrs. Charles Il. Lowman and
Mrs. William Gussen, both of whom are
excellent musicians and women OF intel
grace.

George W. Goethals. who is doing the
great work OF constructing the 18TH.

he be made a Brigadier General. but
1T is understood that President Taft IA
yors special legislation recognizing the
