MISS LILLIAN ORR
 COMPLETES A PAINTING

An attractive combination of society girl and artist is Miss Lillian Orr the daughter of MT. and Mrs Cyrus Putnam Orr. She combines the gift of artistic ap- preciation with the ability to create which are characteristic of her clever sister, Miss Dorothy Orr. and during her college life at Sophie Newcomb, perfected her technique so that her ideas on canvas are extremely creditable.
 At just about the time Miss Orr was launched into the social world by way of whirl of debuntante teas and din- ners with scores of diverting engagements for cards and luncheons, such as come to bud in family of prominence, she undertook a very ambitious bit of mural work, which she is about to hang on the walls of the Young Women's Christian as- sociation, in which work her mother has so long been one of the important factors. It is a huge canvas to be used as a mural introduction in the big living room of the new association building. 1t is 10 by 12 feet; large, but none too large for the scene 1t depicts. which is the young artists's interpretation of the five wise aud the five foolish virgins of B. Beal history. The 10 figures are executed with exceptional skill, and the colors are ex- tremely well handled. In the center are grouped the five wise virgins. and sur rounding them are the others. only one of whom carries a torch which she is struggling to keep allght but is fast dy- ing out. The torches of the central fig ures are brightly glowing. In the back ground blooms a rose tree. This and the type of gown worn by the vrgins-fiow- ing, flmy draperies, were carefully in- vestigated by the young painter who has endeavored to make each detail historic ally correct.
 Miss Orr will soon have the mural painting ready for hanging, and a place has been reserved on the wall opposite the door of the Y. w. c. A. building. where it will grace the most prominent apart ment and be it's chief ornament. In ere ating this clever mural decoration one of Birningham's most charming and vivacious young women has given vast amount of energy and application, and one can but wonder. aside from her love of art and her talent. how she has been able to find the required odd moments.

The pre-nuptial dinner given by MT. and Mrs. Walker Percy in compliment to Miss Percy and Mir. Murphy last evening was one of the most elaborate and beautiful ever given at the Country club.

 The center of the table was covered with mound of orchids and pink rose buds like a great flower bed extending within IS inches of the circumference of the board. In compotes here and there were mint bars on which stood an em- bossed cluster of tiny rosebuds and a leaf. The place cards were water color presentment of a bridal party Miss Percy's souvenirs for her maids were portraits of herself framed in silver and Mir Murphys for his groomsmen were silver trinkets
 The courses each had some charming little arrangement to suggest the color scheme of the nuptial event. Ices were served from big candy basket tied with ----~~-~--~->-~----~~----

The first chill days of winter suggest to the members of the Creche the need of the little people out at the Mercy Home. Every year at this time fund is collected to supply the boys and girls in the cradle department and just starting 10 school with the books and clothing during the winter There are many of these youngsters-nearly a hundred-and those who number boys and girls in their list of friends, know the many pairs of boots and stockings, no matter how dur able, their restless feet can destroy dur ing school year. Those who have boys and girls of their own know best of all perhaps. how much is required to supply their need; boys and girls themselves know. too. and it Is from them that the larger part of the fund comes every year
 Through this department of The Age Herald for many years the fund for the Creche has been collected. When the ap- peal is made for help checks and cash, usually for s1 and g, begin to arrive and until Thanksgiving and a trine after the contributions are listed in these columns.
  ously; nothing so quickly touches the heart as the need of little child and as the Creche and the little folk are grateful for even small amounts-for they rapidly swell the sum-and are within the province of all to contribute. Last year the primary class in one of the schools sent its Thanksgiving offering to the Greene through this medium-the amount was something less than s1O. Am other contributor sent $50, with the re- quest that his name be withheld and the amount be listed simply as from "a friend" Contributions are frequently sent in that fashion; other times they are according to the wish of the senders- listed as "cash"
 The Creche contributions were re- quested trhe late this season-iust as everything has i&en little late The suggestion that the time is ripe for the appeal to be made came in an unsolicited contribution of $25 from one who wishes her naine withheld. and from several ad- ditional offers from those whose custom

The readers interpretation of Sir John Falstaff was mastered, while his concep- ton of merry Prince Hob showed an equally discriminating touch Not the least enjoyable feature of the occasion was the schoolboy explanatory remarks with which the different scenes were prefaced.
 A little.. as yet unpublished, number, Margaret given as Mir. Williams ex- Lp,ained for the especial benefit of the ryoungsr members of his audience, was warmly applauded.
 This entertainment was the first of A series of three which will be given at the
