BY MRS. GEORGE C. BALL

her husband, MT Charles Henrotin We never heard of him before, but we know he must be a good fellow. We hope to do all in our power to make the la dies have royal good time in Rome. but we shall especially see that Charlie has a picnic.
 While it used to be that invitations were sent to MT. A. B. c. D and wife, they are now going to Mrs. A. B. c. D. and husband,' but we hope Charlie will not be afraid he will not receive any attention in Rome. We shall write Charlie tomorrow for his picture to publish, and we shall see that he is not sighted and we will take pleasure in introducing him to our charming Georgia girls. If Charlie wants to go buggy riding and wants roses or any, thing else, he shall have them. We will even lend him our curling tongsr
 In consequence of the explosion of MT. Harper's wit, MT. and Mrs. Henrotin de- clined to go to Rome, sent a telegram saying Mrs. Henrotin was i'll, and re- turned to their native heath, where mo- body cared whether "Charlie" came or Charlie" stayed at home. AS a punish ment to MT. Harper for his tamerity the Georgia women excluded him from the halls of the convention, but that did not entirely soothe the ruff1ed emo- tions of Mrs. Henrotin's husband.

The Georgia Federation
 And MT. Charles Henrotin

There are certain drawbacks to great ness as Ms. Ellen M. Henroten knows, as she has late,y had her plans much in- terfereld with by a brutal, heartless Georgia editor, whose sense of humor was greater than his apprs ciatlon of Mrs. Henrotin's fame. It appears that Mrs. Ellen M. Hen-otin, who has ig- pored her husbands name, in climbing the ladder of glory, was to preside at the convention of Georgia Women's clubs, which was held recently at Rome, Ga.
 All arrangements had been perfected to receive the distinguished president of the national federation, with becoming honors, when lo in one of the Rome papers there appeared the following cold, cruel paragraph, said to have been writ ten by MT. H. R. Harper: 'It gives the Tribune much joy to announce that Mrs. Henrotin will be accompanied by

wiite churches. these good women have wrlxei1 and planned in a most intelli- gent and satisfactory manner, and now suceess has orownsd their efforts. They have secured a house near Avcndale, at a nominal rent and will open their doors on Thanksgiving day, trusting to a generous pubic for appreciation and ne,p in furnishing and starting their enterprise
 The aim of this home is to be self supporting as far as possible; one source of revenue will be frem the care of, chil- dren at nominal rate who's mothers could then find good homes and profta- ble employment. whereas, now, they are hampe1ed by the care of tn il- helpless children, they can barely eloe out a pitt full existence. Any donations of house. hold goods, beds, bedding, chairs, dishes, and old clothing would be boon to this infant enterprise.
 To prevent confusion 1t -h has been thought best to have all donations sent to the usual places, churches, schools, Mercy home, etc., only be careful and mark each package For the Colored orphans' Home," and it will reach the desired destination.

MISS KATE MORROW, OF BIRMINGHAM

for negro children and at last their good work has been blessed with results which must cheer the heart of every humanitarian. Some of the good women who have thrown their intellectual and social influence, and their broad Chris tianity into this deserving charity come of long races of shareholders. and the blood of their brave husbands and fath- CTS has been shsd upon many a battle field in defense of slavery and of all the principles held dear by the south.
 Because of the affectionate ties which bound the masters and slaves of the Old South, these women have endeavor- ed to do what is in their power to pro- vide for the needy descendants of those faithful servants, who were like minis tering angels in every home in this sec tion. o.
 For the sake of their devoted "black mammies," they have organized a home for the helpless grand children of those good old nurses who came next to the mother in every southern home. The aims and object of this latsst charity makes an appeal for assistance, an ap- peal which should receive immediate and generous response. Among the many charities that claims ones atten- tion at this special season, none ever so surely and truly reach the heart as those whose aims are to help the Ht- tie children. Not only philanthropic sentiment. but common sense will urge the saving of the child before it drifts into the yagabond brigade that threat ents the peace and prosperity of every city,
 About two years ago some of the good people, seeking to uplift the colored wo- men, organized mothers meetings in diff ferent sections of the city and in the adjoining towns. These meetings, hav- ing for their object. primarily the im- provement of the home and better train ing of children, have been so helpful that the next step, viz, the forming of a home for the homeless. was inevitable and thus was founded the colored or phanage.

| well a Sorocis member could write. But | from the time the reading began until | the end my attention never wavered. l Perhaps it was because these women knew and felt what they wrote. They l had been among the poor, had lived their | life, seen their troubles and learned the | best way TO remedy them; the contrast
 between the luxury of their own homes and the miserable squalor of the tene-
 meHts; between their petted, well-carsd for children and the half-starvsd, half clad lltfle ones of these crowded districts,
 reused all the noble, generous qualities of their womanly hearts, and they wrote
 as they felt, strongly and passiona tely. In the representation of the Question" |"
 Miss Roebling merely went over the out lines of the subject gave a general idea of the workngman's needs and their
 remedies, and opened various points of
 discussion, but left the members of her committee to fill them up.
 Dr. Townssnd's paper wegt into d. tatl; she had lived among the poor and seen how they existed. She told how d.sea ses were bred and nounshed, so to speak,
 by the crowding of a large family into one room, where they sweltered or froze, as the seasons changed.
 The next raper was upon the same lino 8 and afforded striking contrast to Miss Gannons article on "The Homes as They Should Be" This was not merely a visionary project, dream of ideal homes
 for the poor, but the solving of prob lem that has trouble philanthropists for
 many a long day. All honor be to Miss
 Cannon that she, a young girl, should be | the first to design an apartment that l would fill this long-felt want! For the past few years she had lived among the poor, suffered with them and made her. self their friends. In this way she knew their needs, and now she has accom-
 plished a great victory in philanthropy's
 cause. Her design has been accepted and a block of ideal tenemerts are now
 in the process of erection.
 The others papers were of more or less interest.
 During the extemporaneous discussion Mrs. Hall called on different Sorosis
 member5 and few visitors, and each
 gave a short talk. They were picked out at random, ye; all spoke well Land to the
 point.
 The meestne ended by the singing of
 the star Spangled Banner" by the as- semblage.

A Birmingham Girls Experience
 At the Sorosis of New York.

Miss Florence A. Lopez, who formerly resided in Birmingham, but is now spending the winter in New York, writes of a visit to the Sorosis club:
 The Sorosis is a society composed of many of the brightest women in New York It is not wholly literary organization, but it embraces almost every subject of interest to cultured and intelligent women.
 The officers of the society consist of a president, presidents, recording and corresponding secretaries, and treas urer. In addition to this. there are sew eral committees, such as the committees of literature, current events, and so on. These under the direction of their re- spective chairman must arrange the programme for their social meetings. A special day is set aside for each sub tect, which is so handled as to be of general interest to the members
 The day of my visit to the club, in addition to being philanthropy day, was the first gathering of the season and many of the members were absent.
 Reaching the Warldorf at 12:30, the Faint sound of hidden music greeted us as we passed through the broad halls into the reception room of the Sorosis. Gathered there, were about thirty or forty women eagerly welcoming each new arrival, asking and answering ques- tions as rapidly as only women can. My friend hurried me here and there, intro- ducing me to every one she cared for me to meet. In this way we came at last to the president, Mrs. Hall, who stood at the end of the room. I was introduced to her and welcomed by one of the sweetest voices I ever heard She is an old and rather stout lady, whose refined and genial face is framed by wavy masses of snow-white hair, which makes her look not unlike some fine old picture.
 After about half an hour spent in this way, we formed in line and march ed into the lunch room where an elegant and dainty luncheon was served in courses. Our places were marked by cards, each bearing members name and that of her guest, if she had one.
 There were ten ladies at our table and a lively war of wits kept us all amused until an hour was spent when we passed in to the lecture room.
 The seats were arranged so as to form a semi-circ1e around the platform where Mrs. Hall, the president, and Mrs. Gree ly. the recording secretary, sat. The various books papers and pamphlets necessary to the meeting were arranged on a long table; a little to one side stood piano, open and ready for use.
 Striking on the table with a gavel to command attsntion, Mrs Hall opened the meeting by welcoming the members and few hospitable words addressed to the guests. She regr= tied the ab- sence of many members and said a few speo'al words of greeting to some who had returned aft=r bong journeys abroad or in our own country.
 A list of the guests was then read aloud by the president and some of the best known and most prominent had 8 few we'll cfoSsn words said about them, their work and ambitions.
