NEWS OF HE DAY
 IN SOCIETY WORLD Informal Incidents of a
 Quiet Day THE SOCIAL CALENDAR
Departures and Returns-Birming. ham Colony at Wrightsville Con- stantly Growing-Events for
 Visiting Girls Planned
By MYRTLE MILES

Though midsummer has arrived. the barometer has marked seasonable weather for several weeks. The social barometer, however, has taken a downward turn and there Is feeling of languor in the air; for. to be quite truthful, there has not been any very exciting entertaining going on for some time. The rush for the va rious summer resorts on the eastern coast and in Canada popular among Birmng- ham folk, Is on in earnest, and with the charms of the country and the mountains turing one elsewhere and few social dis fractions to bid one stay at home, there is small wonder that, socially speaking, the city seems deserted. Yesterday was particularly quiet, even for the times In fact, in season and out, Friday is an un- popular day for entertaining. It has be- come "club day for the winter months and the serious phase this has given 1t seems 10 finger throughout the summer. Besides a few small bridge parties con fined to one or two tables, and the ar rangement of summer plans by those on tl,e eve of departure, the day was totally without incident.

away at your desk, knowing there was no use to swelter and perspire over your wardrobe, because you knew you weren't going to get away?
 Meeting one of my friends the other day, I recalled our conversation of the early spring as to how we expected to spend our summer.
 "There are i5 places, precisely, on my list" said she, and I can't decide for the life of me which one to choose. One place seems to suit me exactly, when somebody comes along and says with a most significant tone, I've been there. and relates how every person who was there last summer went home and had typhoid fever. Then I immediately de- eide upon another place. and somebody tells me that the summer they went there the place was full of mosquitoes and that ma laria was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. Finally. I decided on a little place that I saw advertised in the morning paper-that nobody else seemed to know about, but the advertisement as- sured one that it was cool. free from

MRS. E. B. HAVIS
 INFORMAL HOSTESS

A congenlal incident of yesterday was the informal entertainment arranged by Mrs F. B. Havis of Norwood, and in- cluding the members of her Sunday school class. Mrs. Havis is teacher of the Woman's Bible class in the Norwood Methodist Sunday school, and the hos pitality which she so tastefully arranged included the members of the class and a few additional friends.
 The Havis residence was gracefully decorated with golden glow, the use of this flower having been suggested by the class colors-purple and gold which were clevery introduced in the decorative mo- tive.
 A musical programme added pleasure to the occasion. Mrs. Eugene Holmes gave several attractive vocal numbers with Mrs. O. l.. Nichols as accompanist. Re- ceiving with Mrs. Havis were Mrs. J. w. Fain, Mrs. Gordon Moughon, Mrs. Will liam Moughon Mrs. J. A. Shook. Mrs. A. Gibson, Mrs. A. K. Shannon, and Mrs. T. 1s Kidd.

 Are You One of Them?
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Isn't it our old friend, Mark Twain, who is responsible for the .witicism about,
 Heaven creating the rest of the week, for man to rest up in from Sunday?
 It occurs to some of us that this might be paraphrased into the idea that the rest of the year was originally designed for resting period-a recuperation, as it were, om-VACATIONING.
 This is very forcibly impressed upon ones mind daily now, as we greet our friends who have taken theirs "early in the season., coming bac ktanned, and freckled, and sunburned, after couple of weeks spent in the mountains or at the seashore or even fro mtravels abroad.
 Don't you recall those early days in June when 1t was so delightfully."- pleasant. yet scores of your friends were rushing about getting clothes and breaking their necks to get away, while you were pounding

R. G. Dun x Co.'S weekly review or trade tomorrow will say:
 "The expansion in iron and steel con tinues with activity, especially marked ln finished lines and with additional prices.
 Mills are crowded with orders, While prominent rail manufacturers are booked up to next February. All equipment com panies are busy while steel foundries are working at a higher rate than in many months. Greater activity appears In pig iron and steady though modetate price advances are noted Considerable inquir- ies are out for foundry iron for shipment in the first quarter of 1sl3
 Trading In the dry goods markets shows steady expansion, numerous buyers being present. There is a marked absence of speculation the enhanced values of cot ton goods being entirely due to normal buying and the increased cost of produc- tion. Export trade is quiet. but ship ments of cotton for the fiscal year just closed exceed those of the previous 12 months by ,000 yards, although only Is, GOO yards of this amount were due to the added trade, in addition to large customers.
 Tn woolens and worsteds the staple dress goods trade is active at first hands and iobbers report a better business than for some time. Spring lines have been opened and advances are noted, ranging from to 9 per cent.
 Footwear manufacturers are busilX en- gagged preparing shipments for August and September delivery. Mail orders are received in liberal volume Aggregate bus mess in shoe feathers is in good volume, with pronounced strength still prevailing, especially in bottom stock. Supplies are limited in all damages of sole and union backs are very firm in price.

CROP REPORTS ARE
 VERY ENCOURAGING.
Improvement in Iron and Steel With Large
 Orders

New York, August a.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Trade and crop reports. barring corn, are even more encouraging than here tofore improvement in trade has become more widespread. profits and demand for iron and steel are growing, collections are less difficult to make, money Is frmer and finally, feeling throughout the sur plus grain crop producing regions is bet te. than 1t has been for several years.
 Jobbers of dry goods, thanks to the presence of out-of-town buyers, have done an increased business. Trade in staple dress goods in various lines of cotton goods are being held at value by mill agents and there seems to have beer rather large demand for bleached goods. Tn short, buyers appear to be actuated by fears of an understocked market
 In iron and steel further improvet ment is manifested. Mill operations are active, the railways have ordered about 600 tons of rails for next years de- livery and the structural steel trade faces exceptionally large orders.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending August were 22l, against 224 last week, POS in the like week of 1911, 231 in 1910. 219 in 1909 and 24s in 1908. Business failures in Canada for the week. % in number, contrast with 9 last week and 40 in the correspond ing week last year.
