Queens Apt Rebuke.


 Queen Victoria, who hated unpunc- tuality, once administered an apt re- buke to a certain mistress of the robes:
 A day and an hour had been ap- pointed for certain public ceremony in which the queen had to take part. The hour had arrived, and of all the court the duchess alone was absent. and her absence retarded the depart ure. The queen gave vent more than cnce to her impatience, and at length. just as she was about to enter her carriage without her first lady of honor, the duchess, in breathless haste, made her appearance, stammer- ing some faint words of excuse. My dear duchess,'' said the queen smiling, ''l think you must have bad watch" And as she spoke she unloosed from her neck the chain of a magnificent watch which she herself wore, and passed it round the neck of the of- fender.

former president of the club. and one of Miss Hannah Elliott. Miss Lucille Douglas, Miss Carrie Hill and others took part in making the afternoon most instructive and entertaining.
 The Art club is increasing in member ship and at every meeting this fact is obvious. It is the desire of the club 10 number all of the local artists in it's membership list and to have them repre- sented in it's annual exhibitions and the growing interest in the organization in dicates that it will soon become power in number as well as i'll individual strength.
 Mrs Morrison was a delightful hostess Her home was exquisite in it's appoint ments, and in the preparations which she had made for the entertainment of her guests, the usual 4daintinessY that marks her conduct of domestic affairs was ev- ident In the dining room, from which a variety of dainties were served, Mrs. Nor rison had used a profusion of spring flowers. On the table, which was GOV stood a basket filled with jonquils and carnations. Tue pink tone of the latter spicy flower was repeated in the fruit bon bons, which were delicious tidbits with strawberries and grapes buried in their hearts. Strawberry ices and white cake were passed among the guests. In the social hour as well as in the literary portion of the entertainment Mrs. Nor rison's conduct of the meeting was charming.

A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR
 MISS KATHARINE WHITLOW

Miss KatharineS Whitlow was hostess
 this week at a party celebrating her
 eleventh birthday. The details of the dec

 sary of Wahsington. whose natal month
 was the same as her own. Bonbons were in little bags tied with ribbons in the patriotic colors.. The little hostess rc- ceived her guests wearing white frocii and ribbons of red. white and blue.
 Games and contests made the afternoon one of interest to over 40 children. Among those who enjoyed it with the young
 hostess were Rosa Wilson, Norma Carys Mildred Kettig. Katharine Massey n.ieel-
 nor Massey, Walton Alderman, John Alderman, Madeline Jacobs. Mary Eliza | beth Caldwell. Charles Locke, Jr., Mary | Adah Tarrant, Harriet Forbes, Elma Shy der, sam Tilman, Bland Boardman Me Perrin Fulton and others.

 in New York and Philadelphia, but I be- l lieve, in Nashville.
 The Junior league of New York pre- sents private theatrical every winter and this season. How the Vote Was Won" was augmented with tableaux. It made a delightful social affair. for that most fascinating feature of amateur entertainments in New York is the cus- tom permitting the actresses to come out from behind the curtains to visit friends in the audience. and this made the arrair like a big party. An account of the com edy printed in one of the exchanges mentions this custom, saying, however. that the entertainment was not altogeth- CT dependent upon it. for there were ush- CTS and flower girls in harem dress of turquoise, rose and emerald, with long Yeils that partly covered the faces. They sold tiger lilies carnations and roses held aloft on large fiat trays. Of the play tine story goes that the part of Lilly" the scullery maid who gladly responds 10 the call for feminine freedom was taken by Miss Josephine Ncholl. Miss Noel John ston had part requiring a red wig and a noisy personality. altogether unlike her own Miss Cornelia VanAulSen Chap in, as the only "in-law'' worth plaeatfng, arrived on the scene with a live parrot in a cage-and a parrot with a speak ing part. Miss Polly Jacob was an ath- ietic girl in the comeoy. with such inn pedimenta as golf sticks hung oyer her shoulder.
 This is just a glimpse of the doings of the busy Junior league girls in other cities. In Birmingham, when the organ ization is perfected. it VIII follow that some prominent matrou be asked to be the permanent patroness for the group. Each winter some charitable affair will be given under their auspices, but at once. during the passing of the Lenten days, they will begin their sweet efforts of mercy by providing the little children at the Mercy Home with their spring wardrobes They have number of little folk to supply, but it will be done, and done With the enthusiasm that only a debutante knows. It has been wisely de- cided that their work cen be best done with the direction of some matron con- nected with whatever charity they decide upon, so in the Creche work this spring they have secured the assistance of an officer in the organization who is one of the most capable and interested work CTS in the Creche. Tn the next venture will follow this same plan. asking the wisdom and the guidance of some woman affiliated with the organization to be aided.
 The personnel of the Junior league is matter of conjecture. Only this can
