n DROPPED in recently at Toxic;
II doesn't that sound enchanting and
q oriental?
Well, it looks just like it sounds, and
I'm sure, if you've paid visit to this
wonderfully artistic "tea garden" you'll
agree with me that it is truly a most
alluring spot.
To the beautiful taste and artistic
touch of Mrs. George J. Breinig, the
transformation of the big old Hippodrome
(for Toxic is the big old Hippodrome
turned inside OUT is due; she has abso-
lutely revolutionized it; can you believe
that anybody could take a huge bare
unattractive old auditorium like that and
make it over into a most artistic and
lovely spot?
Mrs. Breinig has done this; she has
used all her ingenuity and talent in con-
verting the Hippodrome into a lovely
Japanese tea garden, with swinging Ian
terms, with dull lights and nuances, with
walls once gray and dingy looking, now
radiant in paneled effects of black and
white, with lovely Japanese parasols and
Japanese prints adjoining them; with win
dows which once were the bane OF per-
sons very existence, now artistically COW
cred with bright colored Japanese dra-
peries with tiny lantern swinging high
here, another there and dainty brilliant
hued Japanese parasols and FANS out
lining the decorations.
The prettiest spot in Toxic is the
quaint. exotic, little tea house in the cen
ter; one of those
"Thoda, Rhoda--ran Pagoda" sort OF
things you know.
This little tea house occupies the CEN
ter of the big dancing pavilion with its
tall columns, artistically draped in Jap
anese effects, lanterns and parasols; the
big orchestra sits happily ensconsced III
it's coy corners, furnishing delightful
music for the dancers and skaters.
Along the aisles of Toxic" quaint lit
tie swings are hung and dainty little ia
bles are placed with artistic covers ano
coy chairs, and later for tea you'll see
the service taken care of by cunning
little Geisha girls in lovely costumes,
as they kow-tow to the music, adding tc
the beauty and charm of the environ
ments.
Really it's marvellous what Mrs. Brei-
mig, with the assistance of her clever hus-
band, has done with '"Tolkio;' she is a
real genius when it comes to artistic
decoration and originality.
Chattaing with Mrs. Breinig as the
graceful dancers We're swaying mthei
and thither about the vast pavilion tt

the soft subdued lights cast bewitch
ing atmosphere about the place, she salo
in her bright, attractive manner:

were married; we are primarily decora
tors and builders; formerly we have
turned over the places we have ARRANGED
to the owners, but somehow I just be

couldn't give it up after I had FINISHED
decorating it.
"I've always been in public life" Mrs
Breinig continued before my marriage

of Toxic 1 saw what immense possilibl
ties it held and how much Birmingham
needed a high class, refined dancins

to go away somewhere, and when
her husband and Wanda had achieved
their united triumph her part was to
patter little applause with the others
and then drop out of sight forever.
So deep in the abyss of thought and
feeling was Cora that she did not pay
any heed to the confusion of move
ment and talk in which she found
herself in the following hours. She
had decided that she had read her fate
and the decree was against her. The
rest mattered little, and only the
dropping out of sight was left for her.
Then she became aware that she
and Wanda and David were at the
station again; that many were saving
good-by, not to her, but to Wanda
that finally the three were left alone
as the whistle was blowing for leaving
She saw Wanda kiss David and
whisper, Forget me, Davey, and al
ways think of herr"
Then she felt Wandas arms about
her and Heard her whisper in her
ear. "Davey chose right darling, when
he chose you instead of me. / shall
always be a flitterer. You and Davey

academy, SO 1 decided to make it the real
beauty spot of this CITY,
"Then you don't think dancing is on
the wane?" L asked interestedly.
Certainly not" Mrs. Breinig said en-
Enthusiastically "Why, the big cities in
the east, as well as in the west are dance
mad; just as much SO as they were three
years ago; dancing has taken such q
very different turn; people are beginning
to realize that it is artistic, and that
the outre positions and ungraceful steps
are no longer considered good form, but
that the aesthetic, graceful, artistic
dance steps are necessary to make a
good dancer, and everybody who dances
at all wants to be considered a good
dancer"
Personally, I believe dancing is in its
zenith now" Mrs. Breinig said, land peo-
pie are more interested in it from an
artistic standpoint than ever before.
Along with dancing skating goes hand
in-hand and the two amusements afford
more wholesome, healthy exercise than
any amount of other things one can do.
1t is our purpose to make Toxic fash
ioBable tea garden where elegance and
refinement prevail and the debutante, as
we'll as the married couple can feel that
they are well chaperoned and sheltered"
1--WE mean to reserve our Monday even
| ings for private dancing and skating
| parties Mrs. Breinig said, land the
| other afternoon and evenings in the week
, we have arranged alternately for either
skating or dancing. Birmingham has re-
| sponded most cordially to Toxic and
| I feel sure that it will be a great sue
| cess; my fondness for dancing and the
| wide experience I have had both in this
art and that of public reading will en-
| able me to place before our clientele the
very latest and most up-to-date things in
this line. Toxic will be sort of club,
as it were, where those who wish can
| entertain their friends at almost nominal
/ figures"

Faster than the rush of Cora's train
from New York sped her anxious
spirit, frantic yet fearful for the first
glimpse of her husbands face. AS
though she had oeen an onlookef.
Cora knew that he had been through
purgatory and that lie had made his
choice between her and Wanda. Cora's
first glimpse of Wanda and David
would be her first and surest reading
OF the outcome.
She found the station at Colony PaJ'e
agog. 1t was the day of the pageant,
at which Colony Park was to make
it's debut as a stylish suburb with the
fashionables of the country round
as audience. Wanda and David, as
the two creators of the pageant, were
surrounded by a crowd of keenly in
terested young people. The greeting,
therefore, between Cora and her hus-
band and Wanda was under battery
of eyes outside their drama, and the
principals in the drama perforce had
to wear masks of polite discrimination.
Nor did Cora get a chance to see
David or Wanda for one moment that
day in private; or even catch an in
timation from their manner of what
cards life had dealt her in her absence.
She was rushed from the station to
the pageant grounds. For hours she
had to watch a glittering show which
felt like the braying of cymbals in the
ears of one whose ear is straining for
the first faint whisper of a decreed
fate.
She supposed that the pageant was
hit. For she heard a clamor from the
audience about her: Authors! Miss
Laurence! Mr.. Templer' She saw
David and Wanda being led out, hand
in hand and making smiling acknoWl-
edgments to their audience.
Cora felt suddenly that the audience
was really the world. And David and
Wanda, answering the worlds APP
plause hand in hand, with herself in
conspicuously looking on somewhere,
was significant of what should and
would be in the future. David and
Wanda together had accomplished
success, and if they kept on together
they would soon really have the world
to applaud them. She, Cora Temple,
could contribute only this to the result
