ADVENTURE OF

grains between his finger and thumb

MUSIC STUDY CLUB TO PROVIDE STUDY GLASSES

1t was recently pointed out by Mrs. George Houston Davis, member of the executive board of the National Fed eration of Music clubs, that the new study course adopted by the Birming- ham Music Study club, and sanctioned by the National Federation. is pro- viding q genuine educational OppOr- tunity for any one who cares to take advantage of if. "In the future, said Mrs. Davis, i've intend not only to provide a brilliant course of concerts, such as the one scheduled for 1924-2J, but we will provide a course of study in the fundamentals of musical ap- preeiatiOn which will enable anyone who buys an artists course ticket and who cares to attend the morning meet ings to obtain a grounding in the study of music from the theoretical stand point that will surely increase his en- joyment of all concerts and develop discrimination between good, bad and mediocre music"
 During the coming season the semi monthly morning meetings will alter nate between the reeitals and the study classes. The opening meeting will take place October g and will be featured by some of Birmingham's best known artists in recital At the following meet ing Mrs. Davis will open the seasons study course with lesson on the notation of music. Many interesting programs will follow under the lead ership of some of the clubs most com potent instructors.

Certainly no more inter esting sight greets the mothers of many little tots on the two afternoons a week in this building when Mrs. Camper in her fantastic little butterfly frock, leads fifty or sixty Title tots in the many intricacies of the dance. Little bobbed heads-little curly heads-little pug noses--little straight noses-plump little arms and little .dimpled legs and little happy faces--nO wonder the side walls with their comfortable seats are always lined with happy mothers en- toying the aesthetic dancing of their be- loved leader and the little ones who are eager and happy in following her to the very last degree.

Dancing is their profession and they are. as usual. teaching large classes in their downtown studio. There are others. Ioo, who have small classes. Miss Rebecca Webb being one of these and Miss Ruth Keiser is another. So Bir- mingham, with it's promoters of art, is developing all it's branches and danc- ing is truly one of them.
 In q cable to one of Americas lead ing dailies regarding dancing IS an item of interest to devOtees of the art. It is said that the much talked of huppa- luppa will not be the dance of the year. since at meeting of dancing masters in Paris, representing thirteen nations. the huppa -huppa had lost it's prestige by one vote, the honor going to the five step.
 This dance, which received thirty eight approving votes, is a mixture of the waltz and One-step and, as can be judged, somewhat involved. The huppa- huppa, on the other hand. is neo-Chilian, being backward glide which brings the partners in close contact.
 The winner of the third place was the rOyale gyneska, which is the invention of Professor Jimmy of MaFseilles. This is dance like the Argentine tango The volka, which is an offspring of th" Boston, received substantial vote There was unanimous vote cOncernin the shimmy, but it was q vote of con demnatiOn. It was cast into uttct darkness.
 The object of the international cor clave was to adopt a unique code for the dance, though what that means k not exactly clear.
