fortunately Is not so prevalent as for and in other places is to drop the day from the calendar and substitute in it's stead New Years Eve.
 Time has changed the New Years cus- tom in many ways. Last year it will be remembered the Presidents New Years Day reception was abandoned for the first time, thus giving the final blow to cherished institutions; the year be- fore the chief magistrate had been cred ited with shaking 5000 hands. And years before this the popular custom of ex- changing New Year calls had reached such dizzying proportions as no one to- day could contemplate without a shud- der. Back in 1S40 diarist wrote: "The extent of the visiting circle in New York has become too great for the operations of one day" And the next year he wrote: Broadway from 10 o'clock until the shades of evening was animated by pedestrians of all ages, ranks. sexes, and by every description of vehicle that was ever contrived as substitute for legs" At another time he was more specific: "I started in a sleigh at 12 o'clock and made forty odd visits, which occupied me until 5. The ladies smiled and looked beautiful, the fires sparlSled and looked warm. the furniture shone and looked comfortable the whisky toddy smoked and looked strong and everything was gay as 1t used to be in good times. That change would come, however, the winter of the diary had forebodings. "This fine old custom" he noted, 'all does not lose favor in the eyes of our citizens and foreigners are delighted with it. There is so much of life and spirit and hearti- ness in it, that it is to be hoped no new freak of fashion will ever inter- pose to prevent its observance"
 But every generation must choose it's own way of getting the most out of life. For our fathers. New Years Day with its crowded thoroughfares; for Us New Years Eve with is crowded dining rooms. Is the new way gayer than the old? That would be rash assertion There are more people to celebrate in the new ways than there were in the old and we certainly do our celebrating in more magnificent surroundings than they.
 Moro than 100 reservations have been made for the dinner-dance New Year Eve at the Country club, and others vii be listed early in the week. Among those who have a few friends with them are Mr. w. T. Cox, who will have party of 20; MT. and Mrs. John Turner, MT. and

PLANS FOR PHI DELTA
 THETA CONVENTION

The college set is still to the fore in the social affairs of the times, the hol- idays having been, as usual, devoted to their plea But for the older people affairs socially cluster about the conven- ton of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, which occurs here this week, and the festivities arranged to make the visit ing men welcome will compose merry week. In this fraternity-one of the largest and most influential in this coun- try--are many of the most prominent men in America, and Birminghams hos pitality cannot be offered to better ad- vantage than in entertaining such vis- itors. In the social calendar are listed the
 various social functions planned especial | ly for the Phi Delta Theta. They will arrive tomorrow and be informally re- ceived. All are asked to attend the Glee club concert and dance tomorrow night at the Southern club, where acquaint- | ances may be made that will add decid-
 edly to the pleasure of the ensuing en- l tertainments.
 l At the tea-dansant, which is to be one | of the features at the Tutwiler, the young women who received invitations to the dance at the Country club are cordially invited to be present and will be ex- I pected. The ball at the Country club will be the most conspicuous social function of the week. For this event 75 sponsors have been selected, the plan having been decided upon in order that escorts may ] be provided among the members of the l fraternity No men outside of the fra ternity have been invited or will be ex- pected. It was necessary to be strict in this regard as, owing to tho presence of so many visiting Phi's there will not
 be room to entertain outsiders, and it
 has never been customary to do so. Miss 1 Augusta Clark. with Mir. Robert Thach
 Jr., will lead the cotillon.
 The sponsors-a few of whom are pic
 tured on this page-include the following 1 popular young women:
