The visit of Mrs Henry Leon Brit 1 tain, the lovely wife of a former popu- lar Birmingham boy, MT. Henry Leon Britain, to relatives in this city, is be- ing made most enjoyable by a number of informal affairs which have been planned in her honor.
 Mrs. Britain is cn route to Mobile, where her husband has large interests in the shipbuilding plants of that city as well as elsewhere, and she is being cordially received here. Mir. Brittain's family being one of the oldest and most influential in this state.
 Mir Brittain's mother was a sister of Gov. Nathan l.. Miller, and Mrs. John c. Bradley. and aunt of Mir. John M Bradley and many of their friends are greatly interested in the young couple who make their home t Greenwich, Conn, and whose residence, The Cas- tle.' is one of the "show places" of the east.

 Built of stone and terra cotta. The Castle is approached by a broad drive way that tunnels the entire center of the house. The grounds, through which winds a rippling brook. cover a stretch of five acres, and are devoted to gardens, terraces, fountains and a swimming pool.
 "In front of the grilled windows of the music room, whic hoccupies the entire east wing of the house, and in which is a great organ, stands Car rara marble fountain. On either side of this is placed a sixteenth century rams head urn. This fountain sup plies the lily pond and faces the rock garden and the tea house beyond.
 At the left of the drive. stone steps lead to the swimming pool, which ad- joints the conservatory and dining room. A marble bust of Ajax and a twelfth century oil-jar stand at the top of the stairway amid a luXriant growth of vines and shrubs.
