 Mercer Barnett was toastmaster and perfect one-for never once did he let interest lag, and he insisted on those stories which would bring back delicious mem ories to the greater number. The old president touched everybody $ risibles, and the laugh went dowr the line, as he related:
 While I am a childiess man, the person you gaze upon this moment nevertheless is the father of 600 bad boys belonging to some one else!'
 Then he struck sober note when he stressed that parents should control their children at home and that children should not be allowed to grow up in luxury and idieness-but should have sense of responsibility and duty im- pressed upon them,
 There was a lovely coterie O women present at the party-and Miss Mary Allen Northington was the subject of admiring comment on every side. She Sd. across the way from Mir. and Mrs. Julian Smith and me-the tables being set U-shaped-and was charming in rich cream-colored brocaded gown. Miss Margaret Builder was farthe, along the line, and mighty pretty in blue.
 Col. T. o. Smith, who, for SC many years, has gone back to visit V. M. l., was next to Mercer Bar nett and General Nichols. The lat ter paid him highest tribute as :; Birmingham citizen and as one o3 his "bad' boys, who has made gooG and who has measured up te ideals
 A large number of speeches wers heard. Mr. Barnett said it was hig plan to have called on everybody only the night didn't last long enough. ~
 Among the loveliest women pres.i ent was Mrs. F. M. Tutwiler, wh. was placed at General Nichols right. And how the glad hand wal extended to an alumnus- MT. Chambless Keith-who, with hi wife, arrived from Selma to |. be present at the festival.

tains, brand new cribs, comry rugs and teeny quilts upon which tho League members have embroidered little folks playing with rabbits, chasing baby chicks or building blocks as high as the sky.
 From the Charity ball, $3,000 or more is usually realized, this money going to civic, patriotic and philan- thropic movements. Various com mittees visit the different charities, working with their membership and leaders.
 You will be interested in some or the specific things the League mem- bers do. In all their work, they arc standing shoulder to shoulder with other Leagues throughout the United States, of which there are 57. The national organization pub fishes a magazine which. lately has had some very flattering and en- couraging things to say of our girls.
 Not long since, the club gave Tuggle institute S100 toward a model kitchen. Each little while their hospital committee visits and mends and darns and makes band ages for unfortunates who are ill
 The work of the Salvation Army committee of the League here is splendid. It has made so many lay cites for mothers at the Rescue home. Each mother, upon leaving there, is supplied every necessary thing for her child in the way of clothing. The Northside community house has its coterie of Junior League workers the same as has the Southside Neighborhood House; ana when Miss Mary Ida Wood, public ity chairman, gossiped with me few days ago that the efforts of the club had recently been extended to the activities of the Girl Scouts, felt that there was no longer any fear that that movement would lag.
 An old clothes committee mend5 donated garments and turns them over to the Red Cross, the city or other welfare organizations. A motor corps furnishes an automo- bile six days a week for district nurse, and, from the club, two cashiers daily are supplied to the Y. w. C. A. lunch rooms.

Tea I Parties Such
 Joyous Innovations!

Now, while the daily afternoon tea veers merrily along, upstairs in the building at the Spring Festival there will be a children's party away from the nose, salesmanshir and excitement.
 Here mothers will leave their little folks to hear fascinating stories which will be told them by experts, Miss Elizabeth Chapman being in charge of the story hour.
 'Tis whispered some of the grown-ups will be found hanging around the doors, too-'cause they still are fond of fairy tales, and it has literally been years since they've gotten the straight of Lit tie Red Riding Hood'' and "The Three Bears"

a bazaar, with new and clever fea- lures added.
 For instance. there IS to be a regular play-time each day from 4 to o'clock when an after noon tea party will be the order of things. Here, congregating, the visitors will hear special programs of gay variety. The last afternoon will witness a lovely fashion show put on by a number of society girls who will act as models.
 The new dresses, gowns and hats are to be lent by Birmingham deal CTS and a eoterie of lovely girls will serve as models and take delight in making the women envious to own the finery as they pirouette and trail grandly up and down, in imi- tation of reg-lar models.
 Who are the models? Here they are:
 Miss Mary Allen Northington, Miss Julia Mae Drennen, Miss Mary Elizabeth Caldwell, Miss Lucille Smith, Miss Malvina Coleman, Miss Paufinc Maben and Miss Margaret Builder
 Miss Carol McCary is in charge of this fashion feature.

Chief Executive to
 Be MOn0red Here

Governor w. W. Brandon IS coming to Birmingham.
 Now will everybody be happy!
 This became the news of the week when a letter arrived saying he would be here to deliver three medals at Capitol Park for the League of Women Voters either May 4 or II, according to the clubs later arrangement.
 The League, in conjunction with the schools and with Miss Rosa Strickland, its chairman for educa- ton, has arranged to have the stu dents in the three high schools write essays on the subject of citi- zenship, this being so vital and stu pendous a question of the modern day.
 The essays being submitted will be judged by competent critics, and three medals awarded-one of gold a second of silver, and third of bronze.
 The League hopes to make the event an annual one.
 The festivities are framed to be of wide public interest. Governor Brandon will be the honor guest at a huge League banquet at the Tut wiler.
 Then, if possible, it is hoped to have a great parade of school chill dren which shall wind up at the park, where the three prize-winning essays will be read and the three winners have the medals pinned on by the chief executive of the state.

 The boys and their dearly be loved president had great time a' the banquet. Pictures or the ole school were passed around amiS sighs and bright eyes; and the fel lows thronged, after and before tn, dinner party, about the general and his wife.
 Dear Mrs. Nichols, her voice { trifle broken from emotion, pattet her stalwart "adopted sons" on tho shoulders-and was gracious enougr once to kiss one of the younges upon the cheek.
 She has been mother, big sister adoring white-haired "pai' to them at the college; and she has heard you can better believe, many of the condolences of those boys-even .o secrets about just how much they cared about certain girls they were bidding to finals!
 thought it lovely the way Mrs Nichols didn't seem to miss greeting a single soul-even invited stran- gers. Some little word of pretti- ness was spoken-and she had much to say to Miss Margaret Builder, who had been one of the girls who had visited Virginia college fo, commencement festivities.

where I found almost everybody in town.
 The attraction was the won derful Bible lessons given by Miss Angy Manning Taylor, all the churches in the city cooperating.
 Mrs. c. H. Nabb was chairman; and how lovely to sit there during the morning and hear the teacher, in her soft, clear voice, taking the Bible passages, one by one, and ex- blaming them to Gods little and big children who had forgotten everything-and dropped every pathetic little worldly care-for awhile to learn more deeply of Him and to find out how they must shape the daily programs of their lives for His glory, His judging and His joy.
 These churches all have been represented in the great groups of women attending: Church of the Advent, St. Mary's,- St. Andrews, First Methodist, Highland Meth odist, First Presbyterian, High land Presbyterian, Independent Presbyterian, First Baptist, South Highland Baptist, as well as churches from the outlying Bir- mingham districts.
 Among the charming women who heard the lectures are Mrs. Joseph McLester, Mrs. Mack Drennen, Mrs. John H. Cartwright, Mrs. Crawford Johnson, Mrs. Nor timer Williams, Mrs. J. T. Doster, Mrs. o. L. Drake, Mrs. J. Ross Snyder, Mrs. Paul Wright, Mrs. Henry Fowlkes, Mrs. Frank Fowlkes, Mrs. James Going, Mrs. s. J. Cole, Mrs. James G.

 All the women have been work ing as necessarily as court house clock on preparations for the ba- zaar, and as resui:, there are lit orally thousands of pieces of fancy work and delightful articles to be sold.

 Of course, the doll booth will be one of the most stampeded, as well as the booth where pretty things for babies may be had. Additionally there is to be an entertaining grab bag and games for children, with Mrs. Jesse Yates anG Mrs. Will Cooke in charge.
 Among the charming story-tellers for the children will be Miss Anne Williams. o, you should hear the stories she knows
 At noon each day lunches will be served for the general public, de- licious menus being stressed by the committees in charge. The women are hoping that several thousand dollars will be made.

Besides Charity Ball
 LeaguerS Always Busy!

l am printing today the pie ture of very lovely Birmingham woman, upon whose successful leadership many hundreds of Bir- mingham's poor and unfortunate folk depend this season.
 She is Katherine Morrow-now Mrs. Owen Gresham.
 It is under her jurisdiction, with Miss Lydia Eustis as general chair man, that the Charity ball of the Junior League is being put on Easter Monday night. And it is under her leadership that the daily work of the organization is proceed. ing.
 For she is president of that splendid group of around 200 so- ciety girls and women who have chosen to give at least eight hours of personal work per month to the different charities of this city.
 Mrs Gresham goes to Detroit this scasan to attend the national Ju- nior League meet; and she said the past week that it was with greatest pride that she could speak of the work being accomplished by League members here.
 The clubs great effort is to do for the various local charities what is ordinarily neglected by rou- tine workers, or which cannot be ac- complished by them because of lack of funds. For instance, just lately the organization discovered that several dozen little babies at the Southside eighborhood house were sadly in need of an adequate nur- sery. So the girls got busy imme- diateiy to help-and how pretty now is the cozy room where moth CTS come to leave their little folks while they go to business.

the sweetest women I ever knew and for awhile there, her popularity was so great it was almost impos sible to get near enough to find ou who was the inspiration for sucf a stampede.
 Mrs. w. D. Smith was notable guest.
 It was the plan of Mrs. Nichols to remain in Birmingham until her distinguished husband completed a tour of Southern and Western cities. But since the general-af- fectionately called ,'Old Nick V was not very well, she accompanied him.
 The General explained his illness after this fashion:
 "I had little bird.
 And it's name was Enza.

 While here General and Mrs Nichols were the house guests of Col. and Mrs. T. o. Smith, and nu merous lovely affairs were ar ranged to give them happiness.

Who Painted CoSine?
 The Burning Question

No matter how long in the, past it has been, college presidents al ways seem to keep alive certain terrible hankering to know who the scamps were who played such and such tricks at their college during certain seasons.
 Major General E. W. Nichols, su- perintendent, and 4S years con nected with Virginia Military lnsti. tute-and who was a feted visitor here the past week-is no excep- tion to this rule.
 He gave everybody tickled laugh the other night at the lovely banquet which the alumni put on ir his and Mrs. Nichols honor, when one of the boys got up and related that, at the school, Major had :; horse which the boys dubbed "Cosine," his owner being so distin- guishedsa mathematician.
 One time gang got hold of old Cosine and painted him in flaming colors, so that not only was the animal excruciatingly entertaining to himself but to everybody else.
 "Do you remember that, gen eral?" pressed the alumnus speaker.
 "Yes," thundered the old war, horse. And I'd STILL like to know who did itw

You're Bidden to
 Art Exhibit Today!

The loveliest thing is going on at Woodiawn High school.
 It's an art exhibit-the Brewer collection-whicn the Woman's Club is putting on for the happiness of that section of tht town, as well as for anybody else who wants to take a look at thousands upon thou sands of dollars worth of petty pictures.
 Mrs. J. M. Hankins, president of the club, said it was hoped the place would be thronged with visitors this Sunday afternoon since the Shake speare Club has the exhibit in charge-the hours being from 2:30 to 6 o'clock. Those coming would also have opportunity to hear Prof. P. P. Burns talk concerning art in general. A reading will be given by Mrs. William Bohan- non, and special orchestra will play.
 The pictures are landscapes and portraits, and each is worth from few hundred dollars apiece to as much as s6,000.
 One painting the school children are particularly enthusiastic about IS a Chickasaw Indian, by Nicholas Brewer. It is named Fading Glories." Mrs. Hankins expressed a little heart throb yesterday when she declared:
 "How the Woman's club does wish someone in Birmingham would open his heart and hand and give us at least one really wonderful masterpiece. In all of the 50 rooms of the big high school there are no pictures at all, with the ex- ception of two, which the Avondaie School Improvement association has bought.
 We need pictures. They would be of great inspiration to the hum dreds of children who are spending so many hours within these walls. There is not even a picture in our library.
 Worth while canvases owned by Birmingham residents would be so thankfully received. One who loved his city and wished to do perma- nent community service could scarcely do a more helpful thing than to hang picture, on school walls for the inspiration of the on- coming race.'
 The exhibit will continue all this week, being open daily from 4 to 5:30 o'clock p. m. Short programs will be featured.
 MT. Brewer has just recently fin ished painting the portraits of both MT. and Mrs. James Bowron. and that of Mir. Bowron will be shown by the artist at this exhibit.

SOUTH PLATTE
RIVER IS RISING
VERY RAPIDLY
Warning Received Here First OF
This Week That Water Would
Reach High Water Mark Of
June, 1921; River Rises Two
Feet Here Today

A warning of an expected rapid
rise in the water of the South Platte
river was received the first of this
week by Earl C. Hamilton, supervisor
of the construction of the new river
bridge here, the information being re-
ceived from the State Highway De-
partment. The warning was to the
effect that the water would be as
high or higher than in June, 1921.
>The report Monday was that the
lead waters reached the river bridge
at Fort Morgan that morning at five
o'clock. At Greeley it was reported
that the water was higher than in
1921. A report from Masters Mon
day was to the effect that the water
was within foot of the mark set
two years ago, and that a wooden
highway bridge at that place had
been washed out.
The flood waters reached Sedgwick
county at Sedgwick Wednesday night,
md at noon today Thursday the
water is reported to be within six
inches of the high water mark reach
ed at Sedgwick in June, 1921. Much
anxiety is being exercised over the
probability of the bridge across the
South Platte river at Sedgwick being
washed out. The water at Ovid is
is reported to be at point of nearly
running over the road between the
railroad tracks and the Ovid river
bridge and the river is reported to be
rising rapidly. The river at Jules
burg had risen thirteen inches at 500
o'clock this morning, and another
raise of two feet is reported at noon
%,lo
1t is thought that the high water
will not be of solong duration as in
1921 and not so high, but this is mere
ly speculation. Those in charge of
the construction of the new river
bridge here, after receiving the warn
ing the first Of this week of the COM
ing flood waters, as precaution
against damage to the fill, reinforced
the north and south approaches by
rip-rapping with trees, rocks and
barbed wire entanglements. 1t is
thought that there will be no damage
of any consequence to the new bridge.
l.52 inches precipitation is the rec
ord for the past week as the result of
the rains at frequent intervals since
last Thursday, June 7th. This makes
a total of two inches precipitation
thus far for the month of June, and a
grand total of 1888 inches thus far
for the year 1923. Practically half
of this total rainfall fell during the
month of May, or GIL inches. With
the abundance of moisture, the pros
poets were never brighter for bump
er crops in this section. The farmers,
however. have been delayed consider
ably with their work on account of
the frequent rains, and clear weather
will not be of so long duration as in
the work in the fields will not be fur
ther delayed.
