 l Lots of peaple are having a good | time out at Edegewood park these days. Winter is hiding just around | tho edges of some of these fall days ready to swoop down and make ev- erybody reach for heavy overcoats, sweaters and furs; and swimming fans--and most everybody-are go- ing out at least two or three times week determined 10 have the last bit of enjoyment possible.
 When Mrs. Thomas M. owen of Montgomery, was here 8 few days ago she was eagerly inquiring what were the ploasantest places to motor out for swimming parties-as the whole season in the capital city lit- tie groups of which she was a mem Der had not missed a single day of the sport.
 The iTdgewood club, right out in the heart of the woods at the end of the car line, means to keep right on this winter with festivities-only they will be staged in the clubhouse which is called Mountain Vle* Inn. Society galore motors out. This week Is being made partic- ularly appealing one to dancers. each night, and have been through out the sumner season.
 Hugh Hill gaVp as the reason for this weeks "rtavy programme" the fact that he lshed to make the week memorable one, since the fall season and the sem m-centenniaI are coming Cn, and this was sched- uled as a pretty wind-up to the sum mer prosra mme.
 Money prizes are being given, the lucky number ball" last night hav- ing awarded the dancers $25 in prizes. Tonight is called Prize waltz night" when $10 is to be given to the winning couple. The most beau tiful young lady on the floor Thurs day night-called Beauty ball night" is to be given either money or a handsome prize; while Saturday night will end the weeks programme with a "Mardi Gras ball." in which prizes of s25 in money will be pre- scented.
 There will be luIl then till next Thursday ana Friday nights when a special band called "Watsons Bell Hops" vii. be brought to the wilds of Alabama from Chicago to be here as speciality.
 After that, except for the usual swimming and attractions at the park, the center of interest will be moved to the clubs big new dancing pavilion being constructed behind Vulcan out at the county fair grounds.
 This floov is meant to hold 2,oO0 danccrs--l, 900 couples, and a special band will play every night the big fair is Gcing on. People from all ever Alahama areN expected to take part ill the festivities after having enjoyed a look at the pumpkins, fancy work, dressed up fleas-and had the excitement of having ones fortune told. and passing through the ,kewpied midway.
 The big fairground pavilion will cost about s2,000. It will not be a permanent affair however, being torn down when all the gala tents :> folded and the citizenry has tuck, away for memory another rose-co4- ored fair season."
 The big dance hall will be an out door structure without roof so that 1t will be pleasantly cool.
 A cunning thing happened on the |>floor at tbe Edgeweed pavilion a few nights ago. Those motoring out were telling of it yesterday. It seems there was a gay little bridal party dancing. Everybody of course could tell it was a bridal party-and that the two were just married" Along about the time they had halted in the center floor for bit of gossip. the band, catching the spirit of the moment, started up Mendelssohn's wedding march. Hugh Hill was not a minute thoughtiess. He seized a big box of candy, rushed forward, presented 1t in the name of the ciub--and the whole audience cheered
 The bridal couple took it like vet erans; 'waded right into the candy" and while the brides blushes were not spsring, sne thought 1t Tots of fun, and mighty sweet to be mo- ticed."
 Along about football time. MT. Hill said there were to be some football dances--but the dates for these had not been set as yet. Also plans were but these were still not fully ar ranged.
