The pretty Misses Fashion and Mesdames Fashion by the score, with per- haps even more than the usual Messrs. Fashion, composed q large company of guests yesterday at the Birmingham Newspaper club. Jupiter Uluvius cannot be said to have approved even slightly on the. last day as to Birmingham's fashion- able adventures, but. all undauntetl, crowds of fashionables assembled down town and during the luncehon hours at the various clubs the gathering of inter- osting people showed how. little after all matter March winds April showers and February's chill even when they combine forces.

delusion so the club presented charm ing picture during the gloomiest hour of the day.
 Mrs John B. Reid, hostess for the Busi- ness Mems league. entertained the largest of the luncheon parties, including in the number the seven young women who have assumed th erole of Miss Fashion this week. The tahles was admirably dee- orated. In the center stood a crystal pyramid, with double jonqils raising their lovely heads at base and top. Low mounds of double pink hyacinths and blu mosa ferns tied with pink tulle adorned each end of the table and individual bon bon and almond cases at each plate con- pleted the decorative arrangements for an elaborate menu.
 The five Misses Fashion whose cos tunes and personalities have received already such minute attention during the week were there with the two last added to their numher-Miss Florence Coffin and Miss Annie Donnelly. All seven wore the costumes in which they appeared as Miss Fashion, so@ the gathering was mo- dish to the last degree.

 Miss Donnelly was a. Miss Fashion Of the diminutive sort The choice of young women for the role certainly introduced a pleasing variety. She was delightfully."- gowned in a Kaufman spring suit of a pleasing. cool shade of green. It was of heavy silk with a thread of silver which gives 1t changeant air. Her hat, Hirsch modal, was a dainty white Milan sailor tilted a, bit at the side and graced with a bit of green. ribbon artistically placed among flowers with a faint touch of pink and lavender. A bodice of soft faces completed the costume worn by this chic young prophet of fashion. Miss Don- nelly is the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. James w. Donnelly, and one of the most popular girls of the younger set. Miss Florence Coffin, a member of the same social set, is the elder daughter of Mir and Mrs. Harry Coffin. She was like nothing more than one of the lovely pam sies that she wore yesterday in her cor sage. Dressed in tailleur of amethyst silk, with four becoming ripples about the hips and a jaunty coat to match. she had donned a graceful dropping sailor, faced in the fashion she loves so to affect with a soft bit of her favorite amethyst ma-

My Journalistic friend in Gotham would call the latest clipping as to Helen Smith woodruff's literary work a "corlking good interview" It ap- pears in the New York Evening Mail under the name of Marie Louise Wright who finds. is appears, quite a bit of interest in the fact that one of the worlds hest known artists has named Mrs. Woodruff one of the eight beau tifulest women fin New York, and that She finds her a hard working lady not merely doll person
 Miss Wright calls her literary and intellectual, and says she has had ev- erything going except smallpox and hydrophobial That is the Helen Smith that Birmingham used to know as a. society girl.
 She told the interviewer many things about herself, and the interviewer says that when the southern woman is ear nest she has a hundred odd little col loquial ways of making you know it.
 This Is the way she. describes Mrs Woodruff; see if ' Is correct, you who know the subject:
 "Imagine mass of baby gold hair
 
 broad, low forehead A pair of the biuest eyes, wide. dark fringed, ready to laugh it your joke or weep at your trouble. A nose--oh. MT Stanlaws. you're right it's wonderful A mouth not too small, With a witty upturn at the corners Teeth, just the right kind. Chin, molded apparently by the well known MT. Phydias. Complexion all white and vivid lose, the kind that Knows no rouge-pot A slim young throat, with string of pearls round IL Arms and hands to make poet rave.
 Mrs. Woodruff doesn't relish very much the idea of being merely a Ores den China beauty as Penrhyn Stan laws prcnounces Ter. Please" she said to Mss Wright, don't make me a beautiful lady. Let me be nice lady, a kind lady, n useful lady, a hard working lady. But please! Not a doll person with cnly foolish pretti- ness to her credit. No woman has any right to be merely beautiful" And while her visitor discovered that Mrs Woodruff was literary and intellectual, too, she concurs onthusia stically with Mir. Staniaws, of whom she says that as judge of ppichritude he is the thanwhichest of the superlative.
 Mrs Woodruff deplores the fact that she ss having great difficulty in ac- qu1rlhg a permanent style. T am a lit- erary chameleon" she says. After I've seen Irwin Cobb can't help writ ing funny stuff If I am thrown with professors I get sc high browed nobody can follow me. A talk with Elinor Glynn would make me write seven chapters Of sobs. My best work has been done when I was either i'll or blind. Then l was entirely myself! am at work now on some awfully low comedy stuff-'The Loves of a Chiro- podist.' isn't it terrible to be the vic tim of such moods? I suppose only an other severe illness will make me se- rious again. l was married on a death bed but with true feminine contra dictoriness, immediately got we'll"
 Miss Wright says she wonders who 1t was that said only robust health and . placid mind make perfect beauty.
