A A TUESDAY, APRIL, 18 1916. THE SELMA TIMES PAGE THREE In The SOCIAL World THOUGHT FOR THE DAY. The Enchantress. Telephone 70......... Dearest, I used to think of spring As that rare moment of the year When- earth astir and air a-wingThe melting rivers rise and cheer: Moment immortalized in May, Perfection much too sweet to stay, But now I know that any hour Of any month in any land With spring most precious gifts may flower; And wind and cold and drouth withstandAye, and old squandered springs renew- If time and place are shared with you.

-Richard Butler Gleaner. PICTURE OF MISS CLAPP. A charming picture of Miss Alice Clapp appeared in Sunday's Birmingham News, with the following comment: "Miss Alice Alston Clape, of Selma, a petite-brunette, maid of honor to the California Division Sons of Veterans for the Confederate Reunion in May." She will be chaperoned by Mrs. Rose of Tuscaloosa, and with the other sponsors and maids, will be entertained at the Tutwiler Hotel. DANCE FOR MRS.

The approach of the season of politics" when the National Democratic Convention at St. Louis will decide on the weighty question of our candidate for Prasdent of the United States, makes the appearance of a unique toy, the Woody-Tiger" a timely one.

Already it is taking the place of the long vanquisched "Teddy Bear" which held the stage for several seasons, lending its name to frilly garments, children's cloaks, and caps indiscriminately. Now we have the "Woody-Tiger," the significance of which is easily understood when one remembers that Princeton, the Alma Mater of the President, holds the tiger as emblematic, and the colors of the college are yellow and black. A Southern woman, a former Mobilian, is responsible for "'The Tigers" appearance. The following from Town Topics contains a reference to Mrs. Hampton's invention: "Ever since the interest in Teddy Bears waned there has been a longfelt want for something equally soft and individual to fill their place.

This has at last been invented by a clever Southern woman and WoodyTiger has leaped into the breach. For either a toy or mascot nothing more delightful has been put on the market. His coat of orange and white velvet is striped most fashionably, and an inscribed collar circles his variegated neck. Like all respes table tigers, he comes in various sizes and it will be a very uninteresting play-box that fails to offer him Immediate, accommodations." It is hoped, that the tiger, being of a more quiet, tho ferocious nature, will completely dominate the St. Louis assembly, and the blustery, braggart Teddy may be ruled out as "passe." ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.

Accompanying a picture of Miss Carol Woodson in the Birmingham Age-Herald for Sunday was the following announcement: "The lovely daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Lewis Green Woodson, whose engagement to Mr. Frank Purnell Glass is announced today. Miss Woodson one of Birmingham's most charming and popular belles, and announcement of her engagement will be of interest to her many friends throughout the state." The date of the wedding has been set for the afternoon of Saturday, May 20 at five o'clock at the home of Dr.

and Mrs. Woodson of South Nineteenth Street. This announcewill be of wide interest to friends thru out the state and especially in Selma, where the bride elect has a wide and prominent family connection. She has visited her cousin, Miss Kate Smith on several occasion's and has been admired during her brief young ladyhood. Mr.

Glass has established an enviable reputation as a successful newspaper man, and is connected with the editorial management of the Birmingham News.
