ing. The ladies have been patiently await ing for a more suspicious time to present the subject of establishing a home of our own, knowing that when the financial sit uation improved in Birmingham there would be a more generous response to our appeals. With the present conditions the citizens are surely better prepared to meet the desires and needs of philanthropy. The ladies feel that the entire community is interested in the hospital work and that the citizens will be practically unanimous in cooperating with the board and the council.
 ''The plans for rebuilding" continued Mrs. Smith, "the location and other details have been thoroughly discussed by the board, but no action has as yet been taken. At the meeting of the board and the coun- ell next Wednesday the plans Tl be formulated, and the ladies are confident of many helpful suggestions from the gentle men who compose the council
 Mrs. Smith emphasized the non-sectarian spirit that characterizes the hospital. Ut knows no creed" she said ''and the work of the hospital will continue, although in evitabe circumstances may prevent the complete accomplishment of the future plans of the board and the council"
 The ladies who have labored so earnest- ly for the success of the hospital and who have devoted their energies to placing the hospital on a firm basis, have certainly made the best of existing conditions, and possibilities and they hope that whatever appeal will be made to the citizens will be met with a generous response, for with the growth of Birmingham the city must be prepared to meet the charitable needs of great city Philanthropy goes hand in hand with progress, and the governing board of the hospital feel that the time is ripe for taking the steps that are calculated to rebound to the practical and philan- thropic needs of Birmingham
 The ladies feel that by the cooperation of the gentlemen and their wise sugges- tions that the most practical results wi follow, and they are anxious to confer with the hospital council next Wednesday af- ternoon at o'clock when the joint meet
 ing will occur in the Commercial club rooms.

Mrs. ]. Morgan Smith Talks
 Of the HIIman Hospital

It was stated few days ago that the board of managers of the Hillman hospital were considering plans for rebuilding. This board, which is composed exclusively of la dies, has been directing the hospital work so quietly that the outside world can not possibly realize the demands that have been made upon the governing board and the serious conditions that have been tided over.
 The hospital board at it's last regular meeting appointed what will be known as hospital council, and it is composed of twenty -fvegentlemen who will cooperate with the ladies in every possible way. At a called meeting on last Friday morning the letters of acceptance from the gentle men were read and a joint meeting of the board and the hospital council has been called for Wednesday afternoon at o'clock.
 Mrs J. Morgan Smith, the president of the board, was seen yesterday. She spoke very hopefully of the outlook for the hos pital.
 "In organizing this hospital council,' she sad, "the ladies of the board regard it as the first step towards a permanent home for the hospital. The question of a perma- nent home has naturally been near our hearts since the burning of the hospital three years ago, but the financial condi- tions existing at that time made it thor oughly impracticable to consider rebuild

Notes of the Coming
 TerpsiCh0rean Carnival.

The last week has been given over to the rehearsals for the carnival Professor Agostini and the ladies are working with renewed energy, since the dates of the car nival are somewhat earlier than was first announced. The young ladies and the young gentlemen are rehearsng daily and everything points to a beautiful success. Miss Susie Martin will impersonate Terpsi- chore, the queen of the carnival. That she will make a lovely and graceful queen has been demonstrated on a previous occasion in Birmingham. As queen of the Mardi Gras festivities last winter Miss Martin bore her honors gracefully, and it is not g. surprise that she has again been selected for the most conspicuous and beautiful figure in the Terpsichorean carnival.
 Mrs. Soon Jacobs will appear Marie Antoinette in the Minuet and Columbia in the dance of the American Beauties. Mrs. Jacobs talents are in no less demand now than they were when she enjoyed un- disputed beleship as Patti Ruffner. Her beautiful voice has made her famous thoughout the state, and she will be heard in several solos in the carnival.
 Miss Amelia Markstein will impersonate Pocahontas. She will be one of the hand-- somest figures in the carnival, and the role will suit her admirably.
 MT. Linwood, in the role of a rejected lover, who plots destruction, will be seen to great advantage.
 Mr. Linwood and Miss Sherrod will sing a famous duet that the audience will have no difficulty in recalling. the ''1i92,' the brilliant extravaganza that was heard here few seasons ago.
 Miss Joy TomiDson, who will be queen of the Silver Spray, will have as her maids of honor Miss Margaret Lynch, Miss Mary George Crukshank, Miss Liter Will Gold smith and Miss Frederika Ferguson. The little queen will make her appearance in a gay chariot drawn by Miss Gladys Ems len, Miss Margaret Ehrman, Miss Amy Mcqueen and Miss Willie Florence Jones. Their entrance will be preceded by little Miss Carey Johnston, the beautiful Dttle

 Now there are a great many people who will remark that all this was a perfectly reasonable domestic incident. Johnnie gressive lady told him he had not treated the little fellow right and called his atten- tion to the sleepy sobs preceding from the next room.
 But he was only playing" argued the father. "He disobeyed me. and-I certain ly could not let him play there all night"
 That is very true, said the lady, but did you consider the earnestness of the child, and that it was not play to him. He had a grocery store arranged in one corner of the room, telephone stret oh d between two chairs in the other, and a little train of cars improVised upon which he was engineer delivering goods Mrs. Somebody had just telephoned him for some groceries, and he was about to de- liver them when his business was suddenly broken into. He was not only inconsider- ately interrupted, but he was, as he felt, isnominiousy treated, and worst of all felt your anger as he was carried away. Just place yourself in his position and realize that grocery business between two chairs was just serious to him when your order to go to bed came upon him as was your business, when it was suddenly interrupted by your falling from your wheel and your being confined to the house now. You, however, know your bushes ss is being preserved intact, while your soS- ping baby in the next room knew that he would never see that grocery store and telephone and improvised train again.
 Tt would have been just as easy for you," continued the lady. ito have inves- tgated the play before issuing the order to go to bed. Then you might have said: MT. Grocer, it's time now to break up store and let the clerk go home; that en- gineer ought to be tired and those other orders can wait till morning. I will give you some other orders in the morning.

Mrs. Theodore Berney Talks
 On Mothers Clubs.

Mrs. Theodore Birney, of Washington, D. C., the president of the National Congress of Mothers, is at present in the south, a9d a few days ago was the guest of the Wo- mans club in Atlanta She gave talk before that club on child study for moth- CTS.
 People prepare themselves for all the vacations of life," she said, "and why should not the women who are motht r5 make every effort to acquire that know edge that is necessary in performing the sacred duties of motherhood that devolye upon them in the proper training of the child. A mother may love her child with the purest intensity of her nature, and yet be absolutely ignorant of that know edge necessary to rear properly the child"
 The "child study upon which the tional congress of mothers base their prin- ciples of organization, is really that em- bodied in the Froebel philosophy of child life and is that which is becoming every day the clearly recognized basis of modern education. It is tho study that brings in close relation the mother and the childs teacher with the Individuality of the child, and Mrs. Birney expressed 1t as her opin- ion that no young woman's education WIS complete unless in the course of it's finish she were properly instructed in enid study, and thus prepared for the more se- rious duties of a woman's life.
 In Illustrating practically what knowl- edge of child study meant, Mrs. Brney cited the incident of a very busy man homeward bound on his wheel. coming in collision with another, and falling heavily to the ground He sustained severe in- juries and was compelled to remain at home for some time in a reclining position. A lady friend of progressive ideas was call ing upon him, and in discussing the acei- dent, he said: "It would not have been so bad if it all hadn't come upon me so sud- denly, and I sumply had no means of sav- ing myself. Then, too, 1t came at such an inopportune time for my business" About that time the clock struck g, and the gen tleman noticed that his young son still playing in the room regardless of bedtime. "Go to bed Johnnie" said the father. "I don't want to, yet" replied the son.
 Then. nurse was called and Johnnie still insisted he didn't want to go to bed. ''Take him any way" said the father, whereupon Johnnie kicked and howled &C., cording to the usual fashiop. and his father Likewise, according to tue usual fashion, "spanked'' at him as well as he

The Club Houses Will
Open in November.

There has not been an irredeseent recocd of social affairs the past week, and society has been forced to be content with the out look for autumn gaitles.
 October and November, which are ideal months for weddings, will be very popular this season, and before the autumn blos- soms lose their colors there will have oc- cured several notable weddings.
 As for the routine of cotillons and the opening of the club houses, the Southern club will give its first reception the night before Thanksgiving. There will be four formal cotillons at the club house during the season, besides the informal dances and card parties that are included in the wint- CTS gaieties.
 The Jefferson Cotillon club intends giv- ing it's first formal affair late in November, just previous, or it may follow the jubilee.
 The Phoenix club house will be formally opened for the season some time in No- vember.
 There will be frequent informal gather ings and evenings at cards.
 The Terpsichorean club will give several formal dances, together with a series of informal cotillons. The clubs have just an- nounced their plans for the season, which promises to be charming one.
 The beautiful and fashionable affairs of
  routine of coming gaieties and the club houses here. which are among the most elegant in the south will be the scene of many brilliant social functions during the season.
 The Country club house will also proba- bly, be opened in November. The commit tees appointed at the last meeting of the club are prepared with their reports, with the exception of the committee on location but MT. H, K. Milner, the chairman of the committee. said yesterday that the committee would probably make it's reports by Tuesday Wednesday of this week. The club has been offered an ante-bellum mansion, which is a beautiful location for ~club house, and which has been the scene in other days of many brilliant af-' fairs that distinguished a courtly period of the south. The club also has an option upon a handsome modern house, with large grounds, that could be used for the private park of the club. Both of these locations are desirable in every way, and the com mittee will make decision in the next few days. In either case 1t Is thought the club house will be opened in November.
