 my dear, you can look for great things
 with Mrs. A. A. Walker. Mrs. Arthur Crowder, Mrs. Harold Samson and Mrs. Frank Smith arranging everything.
 The Rotogravure section of The Age sIerald is certainly very attractive af- fair, and the pictures continue to be just as pretty as ever. On the front page is a very lovely one of Selina Robinson, the daughter of MT. and Mrs. James Robin- son. Mrs. Robinson was Miss Pattie Perry, sister of the Perry boys" as Henry, Charles, Tunstall, Sam and AL bert use to be known here. The picture of Miss Mable Marler Is fine, too. There is a group of little kiddies who are most interesting to me- The little fellow up in the corner with a cap on is little Will liam Henry Alexander, the little son of MT. and Mrs. Robert Alexander. The lit-
 tie fellow coming down the steps is James Albert Emery of New York, the little son of MT. and Mrs. J A. Emery, who formerly made their home here. Mrs. Emery was lovely Annie Conner. A dear little fellow in Buster Brown collar is James J. Smith, Jr., the young son of MT. James J. Smith. two other at tractive children are Mary Whorton and ~ Tto4 rT7I-.- sturdy fellow'is James Arthur Smith, son of MT. and Mrs. Arthur Smith Mrs. Smith was Edith Lathrop, and how could that boy be otherwise than the very best looking thing, as both his mother and father are considered among the hand somest people in town, and they have more than looks, too. wonderful per- sonalities, You remember Elizabeth Prince-well, she is one of our popular debutantes, and the picture of her is very sweet, but not so good looking as she. The other two pictures are Miss Lottie B. Stucken and Miss Ella Hoskins, who, of course, you know. Next week hear that there will be pictures of a group of children from Tuscaloosa, two popular and beautiful belles, a young woman who has achieved success as a dancer, popular matron, a schoolgirl, daughter of a well known lawyer, an- other of a young woman who is away at school and her parents are quite leaders both in the civic and social world, another young girl who takes quite an active part in the Children of the Confederacy.
 Well, must close this time. Hastily.

 So closely identified are the musical and the social world of Birmingham that it is hard to find a dividing thread and certainly the intimate con- nection has never been more thorough ly demonstrated than it was when the Southern club offered to open it's doors on Saturday evening following the ap- pearance of the Boston Grand Opera. when the artists of the company, Teyte, Mardones, Gaudenzi Marr Fol lis, Winietskaja, Puliti, Guerrieri Vil- lani, Gay, Martin, Chalmers, Iazzari, Ananian, Peralta and Moranzoni will be the guests of the club
 Tn giving to Birmingham musical and social world an opportunity to meet the distinguished opera stars who will appear here, the Southern club is carrying out the metropolitan idea that prevails in an especial degree in any city during grand opera season. particularly is this true of the season in Atlanta when the opera stars are feted during the season there
