Point About Reached
 In Social Events

With June gone, and parties for the summer graduates and most of the weddings over, social events have di- unfinished almost to the vanishing point and except for the few informal lunch cons and late afternoon bridge and tea parties for the visiting girls and bits about people going away for the sum- mer, there is little to chronicle. Quite a number of Birmingham peo- pie have gone to Europe, others plan- ming to go later in the season. Motor trips through the west and east are proving popular, and those who have short vacations, weekend parties and short trips to the nearby summer re- sorts are much in favor.
 Numerous weekend outings and pie nics were arranged for the Fourth of July, families going to the lakes, moun- tains and parks for the day.
 Contrary to the usual costum, great many Birminghamians are re- maining at home this summer. A number of our fashionable set have spent the winter in Florida and Cali fornia, preferring this to being away from their luxurous homes during the heated term. The beautiful Shades and Red Moutains have become into their own, a great number of Birming- ham people building handsome homes here, where they have the advantage of the mountain breeZes and would rather spend their winters in foreign parts. | The school and college boys and girls who are home for their vacations en- joy renewing friendships after the year of study, and beg to be allowed to stay home awhile. Several of the col lege girls have visitors and others are expecting them later in the month, which will bring much informal enter taining.
