| is recalled by the management of the
Jefferson theatre that when Miss Adams
appeared here the last time hundreds Of
people applied to the box office for pho
toSraphs Of the great actress willing to
nay any price for them, but none could
be had. 1t may not be widely known
fact, but it is true nevertheless; that
is, 1t is very difficult to obtain at any
price photograph of Miss Adams. The
picture of her in today's Rotogravure
section is even prettier than a photo
graph; the work is exquisiteIy done and
the picture can be framed and kept as
a souvenir OF her visit here next Thurs
day, when she will appear in her mas
terpece, '"rhe Little Minister" The pic
ture used in Rotograyure today Is re-
production of an autographed photograph
given by Miss Adams to her lifelong
friend, Mr. r. S. Douglas, and is treas
ured by him most highly.

My, but The Age-Herald people GER
tainly do think that Frances Lenore Co

were her, and truly, she is a beauty.
Then there are two lovely groups OF
the officers of the Alabama National
Guard, which are fine, and SO very clear
that if your beau lover" were in the
bunch you could pick him out.
Judge and Mrs. w. I. Grubb's boys
picture is a darling. Just one peep inside
would just fill your heart with Joy.
Styles-nothing but the most wonderful
styles-for the women l wouldn't be
surprised if some day they play up the
mems styles, too. Men think that they
don't care and even say SO, but believe
me, they do.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis of New Orleans have
announced the engagement of their
daughter, Nellie, to Mr.. John Reid Murch-
ison of Wilmington, n. C. We are all
very interested in this affair. Miss Nellie
has been a frequent visitor to her aunt,
Miss Sarah Mallam, and her cousins,
the Sims girls, Ruth and Bessie. Maybe
you remember Mr.. Murchison, as he took
part in the Munds-Lanier wedding sew
eral years ago--Mary Laniers wedding,

fellow You should see all the lovely
things the New Orleans papers say about
Miss Nellie. who is just SO popular!

Society has been profuse in it's COM
pliments the past week about the lovely
tea given by Mrs. Jesse L. Bremen (Nell
Arnold at her home on Chestnut Hill,
last Wednesday afternoon. 1t was one
OF the most beautiful events of the early
autumn season, and Mrs. Drennen, who
is one of the prettiest and most attrac-
tive young matrons in Birmingham, was
a most charming and gracious hostess,
dispensing cordially her hospitality to the
large number of friends who enjoyed the
event. There isn't a handsomer home in
Birmingham for entertaining than Mrs.
Drennen's and on the occasion of her tea
it was beautifully decorated with gor-
geous flowers and autumn leaves and the
whole scene, with music and blossoms,
and beautifully gowned women, was one
never to be forgotten, but always re-
membered as one of the prettiest and
most enjoyable affairs of this season.
Birmingham society, as well as Ensley,
regrets tremendously the early departure
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. England and
their lovely little family for Chattanooga,
which place they will make their future
home. Mrs. England is one of the most
popular women who has ever lived in
Ensley, and she has equally as large a
circle of friends in Birmingham, who
