 While changes are taking place and there are many newcomers naturally in a city of so many diversifications in business and social life there are yet many representatives of the first fami- lies who are bearing their part in the growth and development of the busi- ness and social life of Birmingham. Among the young women who recall the old residents of the past, as we'll as the present, is the lovely Virginia Jemison, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Robert Jemison, Jr., granddaughter of Mir. and Mrs. William A. Walker. early pioneers, and Mir. and Mrs. Robert Jem- ison, ST.; also among the earlier nlem- bers of the business and social life of the city. Memory goes even farther back to another generation and the home of Mrs. Vanhbose, the paternal great'grandmotheH one of the hand somest and one of the most charming women of the early history of this city. Mrs. Vanhoose was the mother of Mrs. Robert asemison, ST., and lived to a ripe old age, spending her late years in the superb home of her daughter, Mrs. Jemison, in Glen Iris park.
 Another reminder of the brilliance and charm of an earlier hospitality and the earliest industrial development of Birmingham is the presence of two young college girls, Misses Mary Claire and Gustrine Milner. Memory runs rapidly back to the years when the Caldwell hotel was the center of social activity, and the Willis J. Miners en- tertained lavishly there. Mir. and Mrs. Willis Milner were the grandparents of these two charming young gigls, Mrs. Milner is still living and is as, sweet and gracious as in the old days wheN her daughter, Mary Glare, was d debli. tant and the home over on Park ave nue was the scene of many lovely par ties. The Caldwells are of tthe same family and 1t is impossible to recall Birmingham in any sense of the word without recalling the Caldwells.

Smith home when her grandmother, Mrs. Smith, introduced her beautiful daughter, Kate Smith, mother of Flor ence Stokely. Judge and Mrs. Stokely live in Washington now. but they are still claimed by Birmingham and their daughter is one of the most welcome guests here during the summer. Anne Brazelton, who also lives in Washington but Is visiting here, has to her record of ancestry here three generations. Her mother before her marriage was Nina Hood, her grandparents being Mir. and Mrs. William A. Hood. Her maternal grandmother's girlhood name was Yield ing, also a family of the early days. Mitylene McDavid, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Ned R. McDavid, is not only rep resentative of a pioneer family in Bir- mingham, but her paternal ancestry oc- cupied an important place in the po- litical history of Alabama. Her moth CTS family is one of four generations, in this county, her great-grandfather, Dr. Joseph R. Smith being one of the best beloved of the very early developers of the Magic City. Her great-grand- mother, Mrs. Owen, mother of Mrs. Sharp Gillespie, lived to a ripe old age, her demise taking place within the last few days.
 Mary Hansetl Shook, the lovely young daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Paschall Shook, when she makes her debut, will recall the belleship of one of four of the loveliest girls who ever graced Bir- mingham society. Her mother was Car rie Sharp, one of the four daughters of a lovely and beautiful mother, Mrs. H. A. Sharp, and Judge Sharp of the beloved public officials of the state. Miss Amy Young has followed four generations of popularity. Her ma ternal great-grandmother was Walk CT, her grandmother, Mrs. Florence Jordan, her mother, Lalla Jordan, one of three sisters who were belles of their day. Miss Rose Smith, on her mothers side of the family, follows prominent early pioneers, the old home of the Flu banks at Roebuck being the center of population before street cars were there. Her mother, Jessie Smith, in- herited great beauty from her mother, Mrs. Eubank, whom years did not de- tract from a face of beauty and charm. Her father, Ross Smith, was a great favorite in society and one of the most popular young business men Birming- ham ever had. He is one of three chil- dren of the late Morgan Smith, and Mrs. Smith, who still lives with her daughter, Mrs. Sam Earl, and retains the graciousness and charm which made of the old Smith home on Highland ave nue the center of social life on the oc- casion of many lovely receptions and dinner parties in the early days.
