A PLANTATION DANCE
 IN NORTH ALABAMA

One of the especially pleasant incidents of the week in north Alabama was the dance given at The Plantation, MT. and Mrs. T. T. Ashford's beautiful country place near Madison. The guests motored over from Decatur and Huntsville. to find the residence garnished with woodland flowers, cedars and old-fashioned blos- soms from the ante-bellum gardens. With true. fashioned hospitality they were served at midnight with a barbecue supper and at dawn a portion of the num- Der were speeding over the highway for home, the others remaining for a day s fishing.
 Few country homes in the state are more beautifully adapted or equipped for entertaining than this charming ante-bel- lum place of the Ashfords and nowhere Is hospitality more gracefully dispensed.
 Among the guests at the dance were MT. and Mrs Robert c. Cortner of Deca- tur and their guests, Mir. and Mrs. Will burn Smith of Birmingham, Miss Helen Bynum of Decatur. and Miss Anna Will son of Roanoke, Va, who were among the recent interesting visitors to Bir- mingham; Miss Penick, Miss Ida Craw- ford. Miss Ruth Crawford. Miss Grace Nowlin Miss .Blanch Todd. Miss Lucille Murphy. Miss Annie Murphy, Mir. and Mrs. Hyenr Ziegler, MT. Martin, MT. Craig. MT. W. Watson, MT. Charles Eys- ter. Mir. Tom Gardner, Mir. Shelby Fletcher of Huntsville, MT. Benton Wood- ruff, Mir. Winston Jones.

THE DRAMA AT
 MARGARET ALLEN

One of the notabfe events of the always delightful commencement season at the Margaret Allen school was the presenta-
 tion of two plays by the third and fourth
 classes. Miltons masque, "Comus," was given by the seniors. The sudden illness of Miss Lillian Yielding, who was cast for one of the leading roles, was dis appointment to her classmates, but her part was so beautifully read by Miss Sadie Spielberger as not to detract from the artistic whole. The stage setting rep resenting a dense forest was cleverly ar- ranged. appropriate costumes carefully se- lected, and altogether the young members of the class of 1914 are to be congratulated upon the masterly way in which they sur mounted all the difficulties of this ex- tremcly ambitious offering. All the char acters were well depicted. and won hearty applause from the large audience. Co mus" was especially well interpreted, and

progress, German ideals. German inven-
tons and German principles.
DR.. Hills said that while he did not
believe that his sermon could be con-
sidered In any way violation or fresl-
dent Wilson's appeal for neutrality. Ger
tain passages could rightly be construed
as an attack upon the Kaiser and upon
mllitarism.

OF my German friends and members who
rather protested against my view las,

the same right and liberty tn protest that
have"

that within six months he Will change his
