 Luncheon

One of the most delightful affairs of the season was a luncheon yesterday afternoon at which Mrs. Dyer Findley Tailey entertained number of her friends. As is her custom each spring, Mrs. Talley gives what she calls a Blount Springs luncheon, including in the hospitality her girlhood friends of BlOunt. The popular resort has been the scene of many brilliant gathering. For years Blount Springs was the mecca of society, crowds of young peo- pie not only from Birmingham but all over the state going to this beautiful resort for the dances, to spend week end or had cottages there for the sum- mer, making it replete with gaiety.
 On this occasion, the table in the dining room of the Talley home was beautiful in it's decoration. A lovely Venetian filet cover was used, the cen ter adornment being a vase of pink roses and narcissuS.
 The place cards, were kodak pictures of the old Fitzhugh home, "Glenwood," at Bfount Springs. Covers were laid for Mrs. John.

REV. AND MRS. MOoRE GIVEN
 RECEPTION,

The congregation of the First Chris tian church extended delightful courtesy to Rev. and Mrs. George V. Moore of Louisville last evening when they entertained for them at the church.
 Mir. Moore is state superintendent of religious education for the Disciples of Christ in Kentucky.
 The First Church of Birmingham feels honored in his visit and wishes to show to him and Mrs. Moore every possible courtesy that will make their visit delightful memory.
 They will be guests in the home of Mir. and Mrs. F. F. Linthicum while in the city, and this first church so- cial of the year has been planned to enable members. of the Bible school and the church to meet these honored visitors.
 Mir. Moore was the dinner guest ,of the board of officers of the church at 6:15. o'clock and the members of the board were asked to meet at the church.. There was a delightful pro- gram of music and brief. welcoming speeches from Dr. Simpson, the pas tor of the First Church, and Dr. Grif- fin, pastor of the Ensley Christian church, who was classmate of Mir. Moore in Pennsylvania college, at Lex Lexington, Ky. After response by Mir. Moore the meeting became an in- formal social with committed of the service class in charge.

been carefully chosen, is Miss Lottice Howell, who is an Alabama product, having been reared in Moundville, near Tuscaloosa the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. J. E. Howell. She graduated from the sWoman's college in Mont gomery; after which she took a post graduate course. During her college days she sang in Montgomery choirs. After her graduation there she studied under Sergel Kilbansby in New York, the, noted Russian teacher, who pre- dicted for her a bright future. After singing at the Strand theatre in New York she went to Albany for two weeks, then returned to New York, where a number of Alabama people heard her sing. Since that time she has steadily climbed to the top of the musical ladder. Miss Howell possesses a lyric colorature soprano voice of rare strength and sweetness and combines with it a petite brunette beauty and at tractive personality. She is very proud of being an Alabamian and has many friends in Birmingham where she often visits Mrs. R. c. Hemphill and Mrs. J. E. Chandler. Since beginning her tour two years ago with the Hinshaw productions, her success has been al- most phenominal.
 The following from an exchange will be of interest:
 <. Miss Howell has all the grace and charm, the glowing beauty, the fresh ness of youth,' wonderful voice, well trained and under absolute control. The range is wonderful and she colors the melody with the lights and shades that turns old familiar melodies into some thing new and altogether pleasing.
 Gilberte's famous waltz song, Moon light-Starlight," was the first offering by Miss Howell and in it she won the homage of her audience completely. The delicate lit and swing of this captivating melody found a medium of expression that developed to its utmost all the charm of its exquisite strains.
 For her second number, Miss How ell sang "Depuis ie Jour" by Carpen- tier.s In her third programmed num- Der she gave a bouquet of song num- bers; Pirate Dreams," by Huerter," ."Negro Spirituelle, "With You," Robin Sing Me A Song" For an en- core number she sang Strickland's de- lightful song, "Lindy Lou"
 But the finale, two songs sung by Miss Howell, who was in Spanish cos time, closed the finest concert Bangor music lovers have enjoyed in many a long week. La Partida," by Alvarez, and By The Waters Of Minnetonka" by Lieurance were the numbers that gave ample opportunity for the little American girl to display her vocal pow CTS at their best.
 Miss Howell has voice which is both lyric and colorature and has all the beauty and freshness of youth. It is of wide range and crystalline clarity. Her runs and thrills were gems of art. She dresses simply and in exquisite taste. Her hair was done in the style once popular and bore a resemblance to Galli-Curci. Gracious ness of manner, keen delight in her work and eager response to the all to evident signs of pleasure of her hearers united with a magnetic personality, these are the gifts that have been be- slowed in unstinted measure and with which she has been wise and faith full stewardess.

Danennan ; Lebo- viitz Wedding
 Of Interest

The following from Nashville, ex- change will be of interest to friends in Birmingham:

Every day some girl writes me that she is young, quite as pretty as the other girls about her; that she dresses as we'll, and makes as good an appear ance as they do, and strives to please, but that no man ever pays her the slightest attention, or asks her to step out with him of an evening.
 Then this girl goes on to say that she is a business girl, but she doesn't make very good salary, and she is discouraged, and blue, and wants to know what to do. '--
 My advice to girl in this situation and there are millions of her--is to forget men. Give up the struggle to attract them. Quit trying to catch one. Can the romance stuff. Throw all thoughts of marriage into the dis card. Just accept the fact that nature did not put you into the vamp class, and play your game of life from that angle.
 This counsel will be bitter pill for the girl to swallow, but she will find that it is good for what ails her, and that it will work speedy and perma- nent cure for most of her troubles. Why certain women are magnet that draws every man they meet to them, and why there are other women, just as good-looking, just as charming in every way, that nothing in trousers ever goes near except upon compulsion, is one of the mysteries that nobody has ever solved. Nor has any one been able to suggest a remedy for this state of affairs. hs,
 Vi. yx,x. l..Ae IL the sun, but it has never yet been able to tell a girl how to tempt the boy next door in to see her, when he doesn't want to come. It has torn it's secrets from the earth, but it cannot find out what quality it is in woman that lures man. It has invented chemicals that sit has never discovered reliable love philtre.
 So that's that. And it is wise girl who has the courage to look herself in the, face, see whether she has that come-hither look in her eye, and if she hasn't, to recognize the fact and de- vote herself to a more promising occu- patton than chasing men, who always make their getaway in the end, un- less they desire to be caught, -
 So I would urge the girl who is not popular with men to stop wasting her time and her energies in the vain at tempt to decoy them into noticing her, and to put all of that lost motion and force into her work, where she ewiH get better results.
 Believe me, if the girl who does not attract men was as anxious to sell her self to her job as she is to sell herself socially, she would not have to com plain long of holding a small position. She would be highly paid private sec retary, or buyer, or department man. ager. s.-'
 If the girl who does not attract men studied her employers moods anG lenses as earnestly as she does those of some little jellybean boy, and ii she was as anxious to please her em ployer as she is to please the jazz hoppers and cake-eaters of her ac quaintance, she would find herself one of the valued employees who are never afraid of losing their positions, and who is always spoken of as "our Miss So-and-SO."

Dear Reader: There seems to be something in this world which photog- raphers cannot take" painters can not reproduce and which the sculptor cannot chisen. This we may call "per- sonality."
 If you lack it, is that any reason why you cannot cultivate it? should say that personality comes first from an innate longing to do what is right. Start with that thought uppermost in mind and you will find it will make people like you. Sincerely,

Famous Women
LOUISE BATTIsTATI

Louise Battistati was native of Stradello Sardinia. Later, removing to Milan, she displayed remarkable cour- age during the five days revolution in 1S4S. On Sunday, March 10, of that year she disarmed a cavalry sol dier, although the latter was heavily armed. Taking his weapons, she placed herself at the head of the Pap pietti Bridge and continued fighting against the enemy for three days, in command of valiant body of young men. She defended the asylum, which contained 580 persons, mostly widows and children who had taken refuge therein during the siege. After the insurrection she continued on active duty with the civic guard and was an honored member of the soldiery until her death.

# You Are One Ot The Many Girls Who Doesn't Attrac Men, Stop Trying To Be Vamp And Concentrate On Your Job-Yom'U Be Happier Aud Per- -'' hdps Get c HMsbdnd To the BdrQdin

If the girl who does not attract men would put one-hundreth part of the intensive study that she gives to the technique of the popular girl on trying to find out about the goods she handles, and the details of the busi- ness she is employed in, she would have employers fighting over her.
 In Il word. if the girl who ism t popular with men would concentrate her thoughts, her interests, and her ambitions. on getting along in the oc- equation she has chosen, instead of wasting her time and energies in a fruitless attempt to charm men. she would be success instead of q failure She would be happy instead of miser- able.
 For as it is now she falls between the stools. She is a poor makeshift in her job who gets nowhere. And she is siren without n song to attrace men who fails to arrive at the altar. And take it from me. girls, the wom- an who espouses a career doesn't get the worst husband there is. The wom- an who puts her heart into her work has a vital interest that never fails. and that never grows stale. There is something new and exciting happening in it every hour. The woman who is never dull is the woman who is busy. Climbing up the ladder is the most exhilarating sport in the world, .and there is the peace that passes all understanding in possessing your own well-lined pocketbood.
 Furtbermore therct is this comfort to be given the girl who quits trying to attract men, and gets busy with her job. Men are contrary creatures. Pur- sue them, and they flee from you. Lay traps, and they walk wide of them But let them alone, indicate that you are indifferent to them, that you are concerned with your own affairs in which they have no part, let them realize that you can get on quite we'll without them, and it piques their in .terest. They come Hooking around of their own accord to see what manner of woman you are.
 Also the girl who makes something of herself, and who rises high in her profession is thrown with the men at the top, the men of brains, and they are often attracted to her while the silly little boys with whom she used to play about with were not.
 So I. say again to the girls who are not attractive to men, stop wasting your time in the useless attempt to vamp men. Put your heart and your soul in your job. Work is the consola- ton prize God gives us when we miss getting the thing we wanted most. @-' 7 ''-, DOROTHY DIX.
