HE past week. which was so full of
 Easter gayeties although not so
 gay as former Easter seasons in Birmingham, was brought to gala eli max last evening when one of Birming- hams most popular favorites, Miss Serena Kirkpatrick, became the bride of MT Theodore Fftz Randolph The wedding was a simple but gorgeous event and one of marked social interest.
 After the glorious peal of the Easter chimes which announced the close of the season of "sack cloth and ashes,'' so- ciety. ready to assume it's former mood of gayety, made its bow to Easter week at the brilliant Charity Ball on Easter Monday, which was gala beginning of the many fashionable gatherings of the past week.
 Easter nuptials have crowded the days and evenings and many beautiful and popular belles have become brides.
 The marriage of Miss Virginia Under wood to MT. William Carter OFerrall was one of exquisite beauty and sim plicity. Other brides of the week, whose weddings were brilliant events in society were Miss Mildred Jaffe to Mr. Richard Lussier, and Miss Mary Kate Randle and MT. Giles Mcqueen. Interest is also cen tered about the many lovely June brides and the countless engagements that have been announced
 The many fashionable gatherings of the midweek and weekend at the various clubs have grown into large numbers, and the sport loving set of society con- = clubs, enjoying especially the brisk weather of the past few days Smart luncheons and dinner dances reign su- preme and many lovely affairs were given last week, complimenting visitors and brides-elect. s@sstsss
 One of the largest social events of the week was Mrs. Oscar R. Hundley's lat home" in compliment to her charming house guest, Mrs. Walter Gulley and Mrs. Shaler Houser of Tuscaloosa, and Miss Carrie Knox. Birmingham is quite fortunate in having such lovely visitors as her guests and many delightful cot,r- tesies were extended them.

Colonel and Mrs. Smith are prominent residents of Birmingham and their lovely garden parties, given cdcii year III celepiduoH oL tneir wedding anniversary, are the scene of one of the largest and most fashionable gatherings of the season.
 Possibly the slight drop in social activ- ities is due to the fact that grand opera fin Atlanta has claimed many of the smart set for the Easter season, which is usually Bir1ninghams gayest season of the year. Then, too. every one is await ing the Confederate reunion, when Bir- mingham will claim her share of pretty visitors and the social calender will be brimming over with countless events and brilliant balls for the charming group of maids and sponsors who will be guests in the city, for even now everything is agog with talk of reunion festivities, which will be the crowning. event of ,Bir- nlingham's spring social season.
