MRS. JOSEPH K. ESTES
 A FIVE O'CLOCK HOSTESS

Surely nothing is so rare as a day in June-even the sweltering, sultry days that this June has brought-if one con sders the late evening, which hostesses everywhere are choosing as the time of all others to gather their friends about them.
 Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Joseph Rid dick Estes entertained a number of her friends in compliment to Miss Nina Redd Southgate whose wedding will be quietly solemnized this morning. The guests were asked to a miscellaneous shower, and the popularity of the bride-elect was emphasized in the number of lovely gifts brought by her friends. These were pre- scented to her after a refreshing ice had been passed among the guests. and when the sun was sinking. so that it was the very lovelest period of the afternoon.
 Mrs. Estes had decorated both her house and veranda in flowers, and the residence was a most inviting and charm ing place. In the living room she used an abundance of nasturtiums, all the brilliant shades of this gorgeous flower composing symphony of rich color. The stairway was marked by a large bowl of purple larkspur, which introduced another splash of gay color into the picture
 Mrs. Estes was assisted in welcoming her callers by Mrs Southgate, her hon. cree, and several others The hostess wore a cool and becoming summer re- ception toilette built of white net and lace. Mrs. Southgate was in a handsome crepe meteor and lace toilette in which Nile green predominated, and Mrs. J. Francis Redd, Mrs Estes mother, wore a gown made of rare black lace. Mrs. Elliott Carper received in a white lace costume, rose-trimmed, and Mrs. Will liam Redd in black lace Mrs. s. J.. Richey of Mississippi was another inter esting member of the welcoming group who was beautifully gowned.
 Mrs. Charles Sharp and Mrs. J. E. Frazier were the two hostesses in charge of the punch table, serving a delicious

MT and Mrs. George M. Cruikshank complimented three attractive visitors when they entertained last night at a dance They were Mrs. Shaler Houser and Mrs. Walter Gulley of Tuscaloosa and Miss Carrie Mcclure Knox of Anniston.
 The Crikshank residence on Linden
 avenue Is, like most of the houses built after the colonial ideal, beautifully
 adapted for a broad hospitality, for the rooms are spacious and connected with wide doors so that dance may be made especially enjoyable within It's confines. Last night the hosts had asked 50 friends. number for which the rooms were en- tirely adequate, and in addition to this the lawn offered cool and moonlit re- treat between dances, and while an ap- petizing plate supper was being passed. The wide verandah was alos invitingly ar- ranged. with large chairs and cushion covered settees. Garden flowers which represented the wealth of beauty in the gardens of Mrs. Cruikshank's friends and her own, beautified the house and com posed a sweet pea and marguerite bed for the punch bowl stationed in a corner of the porch The living room, which is decorated in rose color, had an abund- ance of pink sweet peas, and more lovely

 ''The young Virginian. who is just the age of his Washington host, will be the nursery companion of the latter, shar- ing toys. lessons, and recreations.

He has been a constant companion of his father, and the mascot of the Carter stable at Warrenton since leaving his cradle. He has also been the object of particular attention of his fathers jockeys and trainers, and a familiar, if small figure at the Virginia horse shows

boys on all their trips, their river trips, mountain hikes and the rest. They are really companions in every sense of the word, rather than tutors In this way it is possible to lend the best influence to the boys. There are types of boys who can't be reached any other way than through just such environments, and it is our aim and object to throw about our boys every protection and good moral in- fiuence that we can."
 What age is preferable in sending 8 boy to camp?" I asked.
 From 12 to 16' MT. Young replied. "A boy is more interested in out-of-doors life and the attractions of the camp then than at any other time. After a boy is IS, camp life doesn't appeal to him particu- larly, because he has travelled then prob ably a great deal-gone 10 Europe and has seen something of the world, and the simpler amusements no longer entertain him.
 What are the prospects for this years camp?" I asked.
 Splendid" said MT. Young. We are going to have a wonderful summer and a fine crowd of boys, not only from Bir- mingham. but from all over the south In fact, we have the most encouraging outlook for a large and representative crowd at Camp Greenbrier this summer"

You know, a boy loves to swim better than he loves to eat. and he has the most wonderful advantages at Camp Greenbrier In the first place, the rapids are an unusual sight, and while they look very danger ous they are in reality very mild, giving just enough zest to a canoe trip to make it interesting. We take the boys on a two days trip down the river, covering 40 miles. and this is one of the biggest attractions of the camp The trail Is blazed by Dr. Hullihen, who tests every inch of the river before the boys go through

 While Mrs. Mclean invited the little Virginian for an indefinite visit on q first sight, Mrs Carter is said to have stipulated for a weeks trial in Washing ton before her son became a member of the household at Black Point farm.
 "This preliminary visit was so success full and so obviously beneficial to both children, that the respective parents are equally happy in the summer arrange ment.

I have taken from Birming- ham each season anywhere from 12 to IS boys. Altogether we have had about 6S boys from Birmingham and I have never seen finer lot of boys in my life Well behaved ambitious, fine, young fellows, from the most influential fami- lies who have been an honor to the camp and to those connected with it'

Allen Jemison and Basil Clark won the trap shooting contests while young Jemison won the rifle shooting honors. Our Birmingham boys have stood high in every branch--athletics as well as in their studies
 2 Just what can a boy accomplish in his studies at the camp?" I asked.
 Anything he wants to- said MT. Young. We have regular study hours, hours for school each day under the best instructors. The climate at Camp Green brier is cool and bracing and delightful in every respect, and a boy can put in much more work in a few hours there than he could possibly do at home in the intense heat and the many distractions which he has to take him away from his books
 "One thing that we emphasize particu- larly is the moral tone of the camp MT. Young continued. We do not solicit un- desirable boys for the camp. and we choose the associates from the best type of men-men whose influence is highly profitable from every standpoint. The associates-these, you understand, are the men who personally look after the boys from their home towns-accompany the
