 ENTERTAINED WITH IJrNrHE0N

A lovely social event of Wednesday was the annual luncheon given by Mrs. Arlie Barber to members of the Birmingham Quill club and few in 'vited guests. 'Limberlost," Mrs. Bar ber's beautiful home, seemed a veri- table fairy land, so effectively was 1t decorated with beautiful spring blossoms.

 Assisting Mrs. Barber in receiving were Mrs. J. G. Caldwell and Mrs. P. Y. Whitman. When the guests were all assembled a ballad written for the club members by Mrs. J. l.. Burnett. an absent member, was read by the hostess. The poem is as fol- lows:
 All through the busy day go About the tasks that I must do, And whether winds of winter blow Or summer sun comes shining through may not waste the moments few But use them well and do my best Until with fall of evening dew The thought of you comes home to
 rest.
 I hear them passing to ana fro, The weary steps that ere pursue From morning until sunset glow The gold that is a toiler's due, While circlinG caves and chimney flue The birds are seeking each his nest And sweet and dear and ever new The thought of you comes home to
 rest.
 The thought of you-I may not know Just how across the heavens blue Is painted there a soft rainbow By Gods own hand for me and you, But this I know that as I view The glorious span from east to west Like rainbow in my own heart. too The thought of you comes home to
 rest.
 O love, there's nothing left to rue, The wrongs of day are all redressed, When like a benediction true
 The thought of you comes home to rest.
 Feature work sketches were given by a number of the club members and guests, and Mrs. Mant Hood read one of her "Childrens Stories" in the series now being syndicated.
 After luncheon Mrs. Frank. Bell read an o. Henry story and gave several Eugene Field poems and a clever poem written by Mrs. w. F. Shillito, one Of the club members, as encoreS. Mrs. Tarpley also read an o. Henry story and gave as encores a pam tomine and some of/ Mrs. Shillito's poems.

SECOND LYCEUM NUMBER.

Who said there was nothing new
under the sun? Hettie Jane Dunaway
has proven there is, for her unique
programs are absolutely different
from anything else on the American
platform.
Miss Dunaway is an entertainer not
easily labelled. She neither gives a
miscellaneous program or the reading
of a whole play She selects one
leadin gcharacter from a play and
builds around it-rnakes herself that
character and tells the story in the
first erson-showing different stages
of development with changes Of Gus
tune, introducing appropriate music
to fit the story.
Miss Dunaway delighted her au-
dierce with the entertainment given
in the school auditorium on Tuesday
evening, November 18th. She pres
ented in the first person the story
of Daddy Longleggs-' The enter
tainnnent was unique in its original
ty and from the applause it resured
| one would indge that the large audi
ence was well pleased with it.
The musical numbers by the young
lady at the piano We're splendidly
rendered. She gave musical selec-
tions during intermissions Also she
accompanied Miss Dunaway in hel
vocal numbers.
Prof. Smith received applause and
compliments for the srapsy n1anne1
| in which he performed duties In
volvsd upon line as master Of cere-
monies.
The audience was the largest and
most appreciative that had assembled
in the school hall since the aedica-
/ tion program Of the new schoo
building.
Come again, Miss Dunaway, VIZ
enjoyed your program.
