1CNNEAR BECKY: I wonder if you II awaken Sunday morning with a dread of receiving this bundle of gossip from me, or of you really are glad to keep your attention on all the folks in Birmingham? am presuming that you do, and have so much to write to you about. First, this past week has been marked with so many home we'd dings, beautiful affairs, and it Is such sweet idea to leave your parents roof for your lifes journey. But oh, my, ths mothers must have nearly worked them selves to death to have things at their best and each carry out some individual scheme, with the same ceremony that has linked so mank lives together.
 The Shriners had a glorious parade through the city streets Friday evening and made a splendid showing. This is fine body of men and do you know, they distribute good will and charity among hundreds of tired and suffering souls-if the public could only peep into the hearts work of these lodges and know how liberany they make them selves their "brother's keeper" we would never complain of Hodge night A parade seems tp awaken people and the streets were thronged to see the jolly uniformed men as they seemed to march to victory.
 It is not many days before Santa Claus will be a figure in the windows and all the young folks will be eager to see him and have a talk with him, giving long lists of what to bring. and these children remind me of the plans. the wonderful plans those who have just started to housekeeping are making. I only hope ideals. It is we'll you know. to make these plans even if one is forced to cur tail them. There is a lesson in meeting emergencies cheerfully. and, believe me, our young people are learning to be more practical I talk with many each day and they seem to take life just as it comes, basking in the sunshine and bat ting heroically with the clouds.
 The town doesn't seem one bit gay now (but it is) since all the women who were here for the federation have returned to their homes. I heard a charming young

 setting for the ceremony. Long before the appointed hour the house was filled with friends and relatives who came to witness the ceremony. Preceding the
