SOME SPRING INCIDENTS OF SOCIAL IMPORTANCE Rose Committees Hold Daily Meetings to Prepare for the Char ity Ball—Luncheon Parties at the Country Club—Aft ernoon Reception Planned — Other Coming Events of Note—Parlor Meeting of Suffragists This Afternoon By MYRTLE MILES MISS CURTIS M ADAMS Who Is One of the Artists to Appear Under the Auspices of Pelham Chapter Next Week English women of title have blazed many trails of talent development fol lowed by women In other walks of life. Now a titled beauty is announced as the author of photo plays, the first in Eng land to openly declare her authorship of a moving picture drama. The Marchioness of Townshend has lately completed a play which will be shown at the picture the atres early in March, and Is to be con gratulated on a double claim as pioneer. For not only is Lady Townshend, says an exchange, the first peeress to write for the cinema, but by the prestige of her au thorship she has broken through the bad custom of anonymity that up till now has been against the best talent developing the dramatic idea on new and interesting lines. Sharing the belief of Sir George Alex ander and others, that wide moral and educational possibilities exist In the pic ture play, Lady Townshend is also con vinced that a great artistic future is in store for it. The poetic play, for exam ple, will have a vast scope for beauty now that the latest Improvements have entirely done away with the once distract ing “flicker." And, above all, a fasci nating and hitherto unexplored legion lies ready in stories lending themselves to fairy, ghost and goblin effects, for which the blograph can achieve the need ful illusions. Some little while back Messrs. Maske lyne and Devant produced a short play by T^ady Townshend, who thus gained practical knowledge of the phantom as dramatic asset—an experience quite off the beaten track of the ordinary play wright. Holding that the film has a power to convey the eerie, up till now over looked by materialistic proprietors, this ingenious lady has planned the adapta tion of a series of ghost stories with unique sensations of the vanishing and apparition description. The “moving picture" screen has, like any fcrt, its limitations. Obviously, It lacks the spoken word. With the Idea of Go to Dahm-Petersen's “AN EVENING OF SONG CYCLES” Clark & Jones Hall Tuesday Night, March 18 ; 8:30 P.M. supplying speech for the characters, however, the suggestion has lately been discussed of putting on “talking plays” with a mechanical voice. This proposed innovation Lady Townshend deprecates. The very silence of the pictures, she claims, lias,a peculiar value, concentrat ing attention on the spectacular and dra-> matic, and lending itself to the oc casional addition of interpretative and sympathetic musical accompaniment. CABARET ARTISTS, PROFES SIONAL AND AMATEUR One of the most novel club affairs ever : given in Birmingham was the cabaret en- j tertainment last night at the Phoenix j club. The details were arranged by the members of the entertainment committee, which includes Mr. Joe Saks, Mr. Arnold Hirsch, Mr. Sidney Lazarus and Dr. Carl A. Fox, and their efforts were worthy of the sincere praise they have received. Twenty-eight tables, each arranged for four guests, were placed In the ballroom and on the stage in the rear end of the j big apartment the orchestra was stationed : for the entertainment features, which in- ! terspersed the service of a delicious menu, j The specialties ^ere presented by both ' local and foteign talent, several of the; performers at the smaller playhouses this week doing song and dance acts that were better than usual because of the inspiration of particularly attractive sur- ! roundings and appreciative people. Miss Florence Harris and Mr. Leroy Montcastle, both of whom are talented young Birmingham people, executed a clever song and dance novelty. Mr. Sidney Hazards, who enjoys an en viable reputation*as an entertainer, gave a monolog which was one of the bright features of the evening. His stories of certain members of the club, cotnbining realities with fictitious incidents in the bright fashion which has made him a “star” performer at a number of Society circus presentations, and such events in times past made his contribution to the programme one of the noted features of th’e evening. Among the victims of his witty monolog were Mr. Carl Steiner, Mr. Joe Saks. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Os ter, Dr. Sehulhoefer, Mrs. Morris Adler and several others. Mr. Arnold Hlrscti in a group of parodies of popular songs was particularly well received. His version of “When the Mid night Choo Choo Heaves for Alabam’ ” being one of the cleverest of the catchy songs he had so happily arranged. Club happenings were touched upon in the va rious verses of his song novelties. Mrs. Philip Oster gave a group of flight ballads, her lovely voice, her beauty and grace quite captivating her audience. A Hungarian musician followed her with a number presented from the vantage points Call at Parker’s FOR THE BEST Seeds, Plants, Bulbs and Fertilizers For Spring AT PRICES THAT WILL PROVE CHEAP BECAUSE OF THE HIGH QUALITY YOU RECEIVE HIGH GRADE FERTILIZERS It Is poor economy to use so-called “cheap" fertilizers.

March 12.—(Special)—Sec ond only to the interest In the new ad ministration and the many Important political changes that are sure to come, Is the Interest among the society people of Washington in the wives and daughters of the President, vice president and the members of the cabinet. By virtue of the political prestige enjoyed by their husbands and fathers, these ladies take the lead in social affairs at the national capital, and the change of the adminis tration means Just as much to social Washington as it does to political Wash ington. The most beautiful as well as demo cratic set of girls representing the daugh lers of cabinet officers, which the capital has known for three administrations at least, is the one which last week assumed the lead In social Washington with the advent of the Wilson administration. Numerically not so large as the cabi net officers' daughters' Bet for the last 12 or IS years, the ydung women now dominating Washington social circles are younger and of different temperaments than their predecessors. The daughters of President Wilson’s cabinet officers are not exclusively so ciety girls, as each of them devotes at least a part of her time to art. music, literature, or social settlement work. There are not many of these cabinet girls, Miss Mona McAdoo, Misses Sydney and Lucy Burleson, and Miss Agnes Hart Wilson. Strictly speaking, these are all the daughters of cabinet officers old Enough to be active In society during the present administration. Secretary and Mrs. I^ne have a very pretty lit tle daughter, hut she is very much of a school girl yet. However, there are three other young ladies who may be counted as girls of the cabinet circle. Two are sisters-in-law of the Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels. They are Misses Belle and Ethel Bagley. They are North Carolinians and sisters of Ensign Worth Bagley, the only naval officer killed dur-, ing the Spanlsh-American war. Miss Caroline Howland, a visitor in Washington, 1s by courtesy another “cabinet girl." Miss Howland, who is an Indianapolis resident .is the daughter of tlie dearest friend of the wife of the vice president, ami she Js now visiting Mrs. ^Vlarshall. Miss McAdoo will be the youngest host ess of the administration, and will have an advantage over the other daughters of cabinet officers in the fact that she will be the hostess In her father’s home, Secretary McAdoo being a widow er. Ex-, cept for a brief visit the week before the inauguration, Miss McAdoo is a stranger in Washington. She is 19 years old, and though of proper dignity, very girlish in appearance. She is a remarkably pret ty young woman. The daughters of Secretary Burleson, true daughters of the south, are even younger than Miss McAdoo. One is 18 and the other 1ft. The Burleson sisters have been students at Sweet Briar col lege, near Lynchburg, Va., but they have rebelled against a continuance of, their studies there now that their tether is in the cabinet. Mrs. Burleson ha-1 planned that they should go to the Uni versity of Texas, of which she and the Postmaster General are alumnae. But the young ladies have indicated that they will protest against any plan exiling them from Washington. "They have written me that their af fection cannot stand the strain of sep aration," said Mrs. Burleson laughing, “but we know that they want to have a taste of official life here. One cannot blame them.*' Mrs. Oscar W. Underwrood and Mrs. Hen»y D. Clayton and Mrs. Hugh Dent of the Alabama delegation are all active in the social life of the capital, but re cently Mrs. Underw'ood has not been well, and It is her intention to spend a while in Florida with her father as soon as she recovers sufficiently to make the trip. of stage and tables, directing her atten tions from one to another of the guests as a spot light was shifted in their direction. “Doc Baker,” who has become a favor ite among patrons of the “movies,” was there with his “big voice,” and Voyer and I^ee, principals at the local vaude ville .theatre this week, gave a number of interesting novelties. Special scenery and lighting arrange ments and drop curtains were among the details whose careful arrangement meant so much to the success of the perform-' a nee, and for which the guests last night at the club are under special obligations to the members of the entertainment com mittee. MRS. JOHN HINE CALLS MEETING OF ROSE COMMITTEE Mrs. John Hine, who is chairman of j one of the committees furnishing a large number of flowers for the Chari ty ball, and the decorative appoint ments of the private dining room of the Country club on that occasion asks that this afternoon at 3 o’clock the following members of her commit tee meet at her home: Mrs. Richard Randolph, Mrs. Carl Seals, Mrs. B.

SPRING DISPLAY”OF "*J LOUIS PIZITZ STORE “Oh what a beautiful hAt!” And “See this one, don’t you think it’s swell?’* and, “Dear me, this Ir perfectly grand:” were among the exclamations uttered by two enthusiastic young women gaz ing into the windows of the Plzltz store j yesterday from beneath a dripping urn- j brella; exclaiming and admiring much to the detriment of their own spring j millinery which, unhappily, was not ufivit; the small, close-fitting type best adapted for wear In the rain, they directed win doward the attention of other passers!>y better protected from the showers. The windows were worthy of the In terest they attracted. Garlands of ever greens were lavishly used, and fresh plants and snowball blossoms luxuriated among the figures in gala attire for the spring time exposition of modish cos tumes. One big palm sent its spikes straight through the fluffy white plumes of a droopy leghorn hat worn by one of the models and at the first glance it ap peared to have several spear-shaped quills In addition to the frothy ostrich leathers, but a second proved the cha peau to be one of the most graceful and modish of picture hats. The gown with it was a draped tunic robe of crystal net over charmeuse. A gown worn by a stately waxen personage In an adjoin-, ing window was charmeuse in a faint blue tint, and a Milan straw chapeau of medium size was the suggestion for accompaniment. There was a stunning hat with a rolled brim faced with black velvet and topped with yellow paradise tails. Within the store everything was again in gala array. Bamboo vines were draped about the columns; here and there sat great palms and rubl>er plants, and within the plate glass display cases clusters of flowers tied with ribbon in a harmonizing color added another note of gayety. There is something very picturesque about the hats. Small shapes made in fine soft straw, and in the moderate priced weaves, and trimmed with feath ers and quills of daring height, and bro caded ribbons in brilliant colors are among the novelties. There are larger huts for more formal wear. One broad-brimmed yellow straw has Its low crown encircled wdth brocaded: ribbon quilled about it to lie flat across' the brim. At intervals the ribbon is' caught with a cluster of pink forgetme- j nots, and directly in the back is attached ! a bow*, streamers from which hang a yard in length. The tailored suits comprise a wealth of! dfsigns and materials; the more elaborate gowns for receptions and other formal functions have, quaintly draped skirts and becoming bodices, and the materials are brocades, charmeuse, embroideries and lace, the colors anything one desires; tl ere is a big stock and everything is advantageously exhibited.

All are children of the late John Gor don, a San Francisco jeweler, who the (frittenden society affirms was the son of Napoleon, born at St. Helena.

I, too. am old fashioned enough to be lieve that God didn’t share his biggest and most sacred Job with a class of weaklings w hen He made us the mothers of the world, but instead meant us to 'stay on the job’ until He called us elsewhere. I am of the opinion that the only right way for 'Perplexed' to do in justice to all parties concerned Is contentedly to re main at home safeguarding Its interests as she alone can do. It seems to me that no man needs a dependable home more than does a doctor, whose profes sional atmosphere Is so heavily charged with anxiety from home leaving until home ^reaching. \\ hat a splendid chance this wife has to help one man play the big same right! And who knows but by staying within the shelter of the home he has given her. jealously watching Its every Interest, she may so strengthen and Increase his eficlency that their financial problem will work Itself out. Do I read between the lines, ‘My husband has come around to see the necessity of a larger Income than we have now, and this Is the only way to make It,’ Ills acquiescence because she, through a mistaken sense of duty, Insists, or is the lure ot the busi ness game working Its leaven of unrest now that her little one's needs seem less Insistent since she can attend kindergar ten?

And Is it not just posslbbi that this added burden to her home duties might weigh heavier than she suspects? It Is such a blessed privilege to keep within the shelter of the home shielded by a good man that I wonder any woman cannot be contented to create her world happiness with such unlimited opportunities within her hand. This isn't beautiful theory of a woman who has a 'soft snap,’ but one trying to keep her home Intact, that the children may have a fighting chance to make good later on. ft too, have a chance to make money outside the home that pays well, but 1 can not accept It and put In jeopardy the home Interests.
