Montgomery. December 15.-tspecial) The Ohio soldiers in training at Camp Sheridan have more than realized the true meaning of southern hospitality, for Montgomerians have opened their homes to them in manner that would reflect credit on city many times it's size.
 Through the office of J. B. Hebberd, of the Chamber of Commerce, pro- grammes are given twice each week at the five huts at Camp Sheridan of the Young Mems Christian association. Through an index system the names of every musician. and reader in the city are listed at the Chamber of Commerce, and they are called on from time to time. and give their talent most gen erously. On Monday at hut 59 Miss Juliet Marcus, Miss Blanche Wolff, Miss Isabel Levystein, Mrs. Scheuer and Mrs. Ruth Dew gave a programme. At hut 6S, Misses Dora and Isabel Landau, Miss Louise Holt, Mrs. Morrison Mrs George Lynch and Miss Lily Parker gave programme
 Tuesday evening at hut 56, Miss Ro- salie Armistead Higgins, Miss Ethel Kimbrough, Mrs. F. E. Cobb, Miss Daisy Weld and Miss Sallie Pearson gave a programme. The same evening at hut 57, Mr. Pat Sweeney, MT. J. Lee Hollo- way, Mrs Emma P. Day. Miss Lucharlle Wilson, Mrs. Cahalen and Miss Marjorie Raney gave programme of songs and readings. Thursday evening at hut 5s Miss Pauline Lewy, Mrs. F. B. Nicely, Mrs. Lewis Lasseter, Mrs. J. c. Hagood and MT. Welsh gave programme.
 One has to be present at the Y. M. c. A. huts when these programmes are given to realize just how much pleasure they give the soldier lads. In one hut oyer 500 men called again and again for the performers to repeat their pro- gramme
 Perhaps the most interesting pro- gramme is the one given each week at the base hospital, when several hundred men who are conyalescent, but are still too i'll to leave the hospital, are given an evening of pleasure by these Good Samartans. On Wednesday evening at the base hospital Master Mumford De Jaraette, the famous boy soprano. sang number of times. his mother, Mrs w. r DeJarnette acting as his accompa- mist Appearing also were Mrs. William A Saffold, fair representative of the true type of southern womanhood, and an excellent reader. Mrs. Saffold gave selections from her own book, "Picka- ninny Ballads" and charmed the sol dlers with her negro dialect. Miss Louise Holt. one of Montgomerys sweetest snRers gave several numbers.
 Another favorite pastime with the boys is Sunday at Home" and each sun day perhaps a hundred or more of them are entertained at Sunday dinner in

Montgomery Gay With Affairs

By ROSALIE AR INSTEAD HIGGINS Montgomery homes. They anticipate these good times from one week to an other, and are the better for them,
 that the holiday season is approaching, one Montgomery mother. who has a boy serving his country in a cantonment in a distant state has said that for the sake of that lad she wants to entertain some soldier from Camp Sheridan who is unable to go back home to the folks in the Buckeye state. Is that not a beautiful idea? It has met with hearty approval and many other Montgomery mothers will follow her splendid ex- ample.
 The women of Montgomery are con- stantly planning some new method of giving pleasure to these boys, and the latest is the plan of the benevolent committee of the Montgomery fedora tion to make scrap books for the wards of the base hospital. Each morning. maids and matrons gather at first one heme and then another and make these attractive books, which will help to pass away many weary hour for an i'll sol dier. Then. also, the benevolent com mitee will place in each hospital ward on Christmas morning a miniature tree. bright with tinsel as reminder of the childhood days of these soldier boys.
 Since the news has spread over the camp that no furloughs will be issued for Christmas, there has been great gloom, as many of. the soldiers had made every plan to spend Christmas with their loved ones, Montgomery people will do everything in their power, however, to make the Ohio soldiers happy, and to keep them from feeling lonely.

 One of the most brilliant social func- tions which has ever taken place in Montgomery was the Ante -Bellum ball which was given Saturday evenink by the Cradle of the Confederacy chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, The city auditorium, which was the scene of the affair. was gaily decorated with scores of United States flags and flags of the allies. The grand march was led by Gov. Charles Henderson, as- sisted by The First Lady of the State The assisting couple were Lieut. stanton Hertz and Miss Clair Hertz. A unique feature of the march was that every girls escort was a soldier, without exception.
