club IN the opening game Of the season. It
was a gentleman of color who had cX-
pressed his greetings. Before he reached
the box half a hundred such tributes had
been paid him. When he walked the first
man, and hit the next, there was a chorus
Of:

II was a bad start; but Charley managed

DOMESTIC WORK
SUPERSEDES BRIDGE

1t Is mad world, truly. and one never
knows where to look for the source of the
next fad The autumn days are fast
filing up with the most extraordinary va
riety of missions for the energetic and
ambitious person. Birmingham women
who would always be learning something
new or rehearsing old lessons are to spend
their time this winter in various pursuits
beside that of society. Studies of several
sorts will engross them, but queerest of
all, perhaps is the return to the old
housewifely pastime, fancy needlework
There are several matrons whose morn
ings winter after winter have been given
to bridge, that have resigneA member
ship in their clubs for the purpose OF
making a study of embroidery, lace maxi
ing or the other forms of ornamental ham
diwork. A class has been duly organized
with Mrs. S. L. Ledbetter and Miss
Mollie Nolan as instructors, and the first
meeting will occur tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock at Mrs. Ledbetter's home. There
will be scores OF women, from now until
the Christmas holidays, In attendance
upon these sessions busily engaged in
knitting scarfs or shawls, bureau runners,
spreads and dozens of other pretty trifles,
or making Irish crochet into bodices, or
boudoir caps, or any of the scores of
other dainty things; embroidery pillow
covers and cap bags of various sorts and
bits of lingerie for the supply of delect-
able gifts stored away to make people
happy Christmas morning.
For while dancing and bridge classes
may rise and fall, and equal suffrage clubs
may flourish or decline always, and at
the last woman is domestic soul; and
somehow occasionally she just will go
back to her knitting.

Montgomery, October 21.-tSpecial,
Valuable medical books. Japanese curics
and antiques gathered during his. service
as a United States army surgeon in for
eign lands were destroyed when the home
of DR.. william H. Oates, state prison In

Some of the articles destroyed were OF
great value and the loss can hardly be
estimated. DR.. Oates had one of the best
selected libraries in the state. and nearly
all of his books We're burned.
The fire was caused by an ash pit near
a pile of wood under the building, and
spread so rapidly that the structure was
a mass of flames before the fire depart

to tone. the point device of fine sing
ing. in order to give presentation in
an unfamiliar language as concession
to the belief that Tristan and Isolde
is particularly a German composition,
and inseparable from that tongue"
''As matter of fact" said Mr.. Shee-
han, his big brown eyes glowing with
feverish enthusiasm, as his subject
grew. and his interest developed, the
story of Tristan and {seult,' appears
in the Arthurian legends of ancient Brit
ain. Yseulte was an Irish princess, then
why not sing the opera in Irish, IL the
matter of the language of a country to
which it's characters belong Is to be con-
sidered? AS matter of fact, the story
of great opera like Tristan or Masse-
nets 'Sa1ome,' as well as the music,
belongs to the world. They know no ma
tionality. The language in which they
are written belongs to no single nation.
1t is universal. 'Salome'-the .Salome' of
Massenet-the most exquisite tone poem
ever written-beiongs no more to France
than it does to America. 'Salome' is the
most beautiful opera Massenet ever wrote
but Ii is no more of France because Mas
senet was one of the finest flowers of
artistic endeavor of that nation than the
story itself is French, because 1t has
lent its glamour to the most individual
and complete expression of his world
genius. With its sweeping inclusion of
ruman passion. frailty and suffering-as
, far removed from the Strauss-Wilde con-
ception of Salome as black is from white

I'm conclusion I would say" Mr.. Shee-

must have for incentive the expression
OF universal, even primitive emotions,
and be built upon broad dramatic lines

smaller lights and shades, which the
spoken word is intended to convey And
as for that spoken word-alas. who, using
our greatly abused language, speaks It
correctly-with elegance, surety and pre-
oision? The English language, l repeat,
In spite of this, is no more difficult aof
correct pronunciation in singing than q
majority of the languages. Perhaps il
may not be quite so grateful to the singer
as the Italian, but 1t is more facile than
the German, and vet many of or best
American singers are taught the foreign
tongues before they have mastered their

Each week of the National Conserva-
ton exposition In Knoxville, notes the
Lookout, published this week in Chat
tanooga, seems more brilliant socially
than the one that went before. The So
ciety women of the exposition city have
united to make the great exhibit interest
ing socially as well as for its CONNER
cal and agricultural advantages.
A reminiscent feature enjoyed by all
has been the honoring of the two past
presidents Of the woman's board at other
expositions. Mrs. Herbert w. Hall was
president In 1910 and her board united
to give her honor. One hundred and ten
ladies' we're seated at the decorated lunch
con table on the upper deck of the Van
Wright and many OF these made clever
toasts for the beautiful and capable Wom-
an who presided in 1910 and inaugurated
the exposition and the wonaans work.
Col. Robert ]. Lowery was the only man
who was permitted to be present at TINS
affair, he and Mrs. Lowery going up from
Atlanta to enjoy 1t. At the close OF the
luncheon and the speeches from the
various women on the programme a COM
mittee from the board of directors OF the
exposition of 1910 presented Mrs. Hail with
a magnificent loving cup as token OF
appreciation of her faithful and valuable
service to the exposition. Mrs. Hall made
a touching little speech of acceptance and
gratitude for the tributes OF affectioh
and appreciation. Miss Kate White was
toastmistress and was witty and oe-
liQhtful In her introductions.
Mrs. Percy Lockett, who was presi-
dent of the 1911 exposition womans
hoard was entertained by her board In
similar manner, and the toasts anu
speeches were clever and interesting. Inc
board of directors of 1911 gave her huge
silver vase, properly inscribed, and TO
Colonel Tyson's address of presentation
she made brief but gracious acceptance.
Mrs Lockett was very lovely.
