Birmingham has ever been fortu- nate in possessing interesting per sonalities" among her, women-wo- men who entertain charmingly both formally and informally-wo omen who are ever graceful and ready whether the occasion is a tea party in their own home, dinner at q downtown hotel or club presiding at an executive board session, travel ing upon the continent or among strangers in strange lands. There have been numbers of them from the early days of Birmingham when such women as Mrs. Robert H. Person, Mrs. Rufus Rhodes, Mrs. Robert Jemison. Mrs. l.. M. . Tutwiler, Mrs. James Weatherly, Mrs. c. P. Orr, Mrs. Anna Vanhoose, Mrs. William A. Walker, Mrs. w. H. Graves, Mrs. James T. Nixon. Mrs. John c. Hen- ley, Mrs. Florence Jordan, Mrs. George R. Ward and the rest of them were making" developing church, home and civic life for posterity to proudly acclaim as second to none in the country. There are still personal ties" among the women. Birmingham is represented upon as many national organization and her woman citi- zenship is no doubt as well known among the foreign countries in travel as any city it's size in America.
 Among these is a woman recently returned from a stay of eight months abroad and whom many friends are greeting with delight. Mrs. William D. Nesbitt left eight months ago to join her husband who had been sent to Australia in the interest of great industrial development. MT. Nesbitt finiSbed his business and re- turned, leaving his lovely wife for -f4- lot nY,1x Nf her long absence, and because she has meant so much in the worth while affairs of Birmingham are her friends welcoming her with so much pleasure. but because she returns re- stored to splendid health Among the civic bodies who claim her as a charter member and pioneer worker are both the League of Women Voters and the Axis club, the former giving a tea in her honor Tuesday after noon at the Tutwiler. the entire mem bership joining with large citizen ship in welcoming her home.
 Crowding about Mrs. Nesbitt in downtown shop one day this week number of her women friends were inquiring about the various interest ing points in her stay abroad, when one of them asked what was the most thrilling event of the trip?' "Oh there Were so many of them it is hard to say. but l believe I found the most interesting and helpful in- cidents were in connection with mT acquaintance with the illustrious Dr. Emile Coue about whom so much was written and said during his visit to this country last year.

 We visited his home in Nancy lFrace, where I was deeply interested in his lovely garden. with it's formal flower beds, especially the brilliantly colored dahlias. Another enjoyable experience and a thrilling one too, hours from London to Amsterdam, Holland, by aeroplane. Flying over Belgium the country looked like a checker board the colors green, red, blue and others effected by the planting. Holland has so much water that the view from the sky was not so interesting, as in Venice. In Holland too, I was impressed with the number Of black and white cows and bicycles. I never in my life saw so many. Norway and Sweden too were wonderfully beautiful coun- tries.
 And when asked after all the won derful experiences if she was not glad to get back to America sife said, "yes there is no country like it and no friends like the old friends" She said she could talk on and on and never tell all that she saw or what impressed her.
 To one who has known Birming- ham in the days when parties" were the vogue, almost every day in the week and some times many in one day women went from home to home from tea to tea-from bridge to bridge life seems very different. There are fewer large events than in the old days and there are many req sons. The call of the out of doors with golfing-motoring and other forms of sport taking the place of the affairs of the indoors. Then too, more time is spent on social enter taining for benefits or for promoting public charities, philanthropic or edu- cational institutions. The past week is an example. The week was ushered in by a large luncheon filling the ball room at the Tutwiler. given by the League of Women Voters. The entertainers were in most part men and women who were there to tell about some great educational matter dealing with good citizenship. The next largest happening was the card party given by the Junior League, splendid organization of young wo- men who dive a large portion of their time in helping others. Already plans are being mapped out for the annual doll bazar for the Childrens hospital. The doll bazar is second to nothing in social importance in the annals of the entire year. Not only are they delightful socially, but they always net a large sum for this splendid home for the sick babies of the city
 Of course, there are weddings there are always weddings of great interest and there is much enter taining, honoring the brides as there have always heen and there are lit tie bridge parties of four and six and eight tables. There are small lunch con parties at the clubs and the ho- tels and there is the age old five o'clock tea but on the whole since the wan society has never gone back to the old habit of large affairs-and perhaps never will do so.

ECHOES OF THE GOOD
 FELLOWsHIP LUNCHEON

"The most novel and delightful af- fair ever staged" is the general yer dict passed upon the luncheon gwen last Monday at the Tutwiler by the League of Women Voters in honor of Mrs Edward Costigan of Wash ington, me.nber of the board of the national league. Mrs. c. E. Jaynes, genera l chairman of the luncheon, and her assistants worked untiringly for the success of the affair, and were well rewarded for their efforts by the crowds who attended and by the spirit of fun and comeraderie, which pervaded the occasion.
 The outstanding features were, of course, the talks by Mrs. Costigan on the work of the league, and by pr. Banting of Canada, the great dis coverer of insulin, who has just re- ceived the Nobel prize. These two sounded the serious and thoughtful note, by way of contrast to the gales of laughter created by the antics of Percy Rosenberger and MT, Rogers of the police force, and the clever telegrams which were constantly ar irving at the speakers table. The delightful reading by MT. Bernard Szold of the Little Theatre were all so much enjoyed. Not the least ele' mert in the pleasure of the occasion were the beautiful Halloween decora- tions, done under direction of Miss Annie Floyd, and the quaint costumes of a by-eone day. worn by q number of women. Mrs. Mcleod and Mrs Simmons, as champion gigglers, made a great hit and the work of Mir. and Mrs. George Bridges was much applauded.
 Mrs Daugette. in her delightful fashion expressed the gratitude of the league to the Axis club and the federated clubs for their cooperation land support of the leagues drive for new members. and Mrs. Solon Ja- cobs. another national officer, made a most happy introduction of the leagues birthday child, Mrs. Adda Barnes. 70 years young.
 Mrs. J. NJ. Hanllins, in a bewitching black jet costume and with powdered hair. opened the party very grace fully and Mrs. c. B. Jaynes was a clever and resourceful presiding of ficer. Mayor D. F. McLendon and Dr. w. W. Harper each made fine speeches, and one of the most de- lightful features of the occasion was the beautiful singing of Mrs. May ,Shackleford and MT. Erie Stapleton. This party will long be rem bered as one of the most charming ever given by the League of Women Voters.
