 her hubsand. who is general manager for the Southern railroad, with head quarters at Cincinnati, announcing lis coming on Friday, meant noting short of their departure on his pri- vate car on Saturday morning. We first knew the Stanfiels when they lived in Birmingham, but now since their removal to Cincinnati. exchange visits are not as frequent, although Mrs. Hunters entire Lent was spent , travelling with them in their car for visits to Washington, New York and Cincinnati kept her on the fit right up to Easter Sunday. Bridge parties (and sometimes three a day) and in formal parties every evening have given different crowds an opportunity of enjoying Mrs. Stanfiel's society, for on Tuesday she was one of the visitors enjoying Mrs. W. W. Groom 8 1, delightful bridge party; Thursday she enjoyed two, for she was at Mrs.
 Harry Toulmin Smiths in the morn ing, and at Mrs. Robert Ervin's at
