Tribute to Mrs. M. 4. Morrow
 From the Mite Society

With bowed heads and aching hearts we, the members of the Mite Society of the First Methodist church, heard of the death of our friend, Mrs. Mary A. Morrow, to whom rest came on May G. 1898.
 Though prepared hopeless. watching for the inevitable the grief of loved ones and sadness of friends was not lessened-could not have been greater. The Mite Society of the First M. E. church never had q more devoted member and earnest worker and realize the great loss sustained by her removal from earth to heaven.
 When she first moved from the country into Birmingham she transferred her mem bershp to our church. and at once became deeply interested in the work of the so- c ety. serving it's interests in the capacity of vice-president more than one term Her love for and interest in the church and so- cety work never Jagged, and when home duties compelled her to resign active work with us, her heart was still in the work so dear to her.
 For many months before she peacefully passed away, her physical sufferings inten- siiied to the extent of confining her to her home, and there upon her bed of pain her many loving messages to her co-workers assured us that God was with her. and that all was well with her soul.
 Her Christian life among us has left an ineffaceable impress for good, which we tenderly cherish.
 Iris in the home that the consistency of a
 
 it can truly be said that "her works do fol- low her." and "her children shall rise up and call her blessed.''
 Those who knew her best can most eff fectively testify to her life of purity and love toward her husband, aged motter, children, and all who were near and dear to her; her sympathy for the distressed and afflicted, and her benevoelce toward suffering humanity
 Her daily life was an exemplfcation of the Christian principle, a heart bearing malice to none, and charity for all.
 We suggest that copy of this tribute be sent to the bereaved family as token of our sincere sympathy, with the assurance that we remember them in our prayers, asking that the love of God may susta n them in their hours of extreme loleliness and grief.
 We also request that a copy be lovingly inscribed upon the record book of the so- ciety as the last mark of respect and love we can offer to one whose death we so deeply deplore.

A New and Profitable
Vocation for Women

The woman manager seems to be a deVei- oping feature of city life, says an eXchange' She is found in all kinds of expected ana unexpected places, and she is usually sue cessful and happy in the work. There is one woman who has entire charge of a business building, where there is theater to rent rooms to let for lectures, and smaller rooms which are engaged perma- nently She has carte blanche to do what ever she pleases in caring for it, keeping it clean, making all small repairs, receiving and paying out the money, letting for a few evening or as many years. The pro- prietor comes in once day to sign checks, troubles her, but the answer to most ques- tons is. "Use your own judgment. A knowledge of theatrcal hardware was one of the things she was obliged to learn for a stage carpenter is man she is compelled to employ frequently, and she orders his supplies There Is regular staff of four or five people whom she keeps constantly employed. Many of the lecture and class rooms are engaged by some of the best of the women's organizations of the city. One of the first insights into busness meth- ods that the new manager had was when the orchestra leader presents himself to her as @ possible incumbent for the posi- ton of music dispenser in the theater. If he could only get the position the manager should get a good percentage and he made life miserable for a time by his persistency. But the manager was not doing business that way. She might also be overwhelmed with flowers by granting certain favors to certain dealers but all these pleasures she foregoes. It is a varied business taking in many things, from the reception of call CTS to banking and bookkeeping and is very pleasant. A woman particularly one having 8 large acquaintance with promi- nent people this one did, Is a valuable aid in the management of building

Patriotic Pads in
JeWeIry and Decorations

There has been a marvellous increase in the use of symbols for decorator within the last few years. The practice has amounted to a fad, and upon the slightest excuse small articles of wearing apparel and jewelry are brought out, in expensive and cheap goods, and the public buys them in great quantities. Perhaps the souvenir spoon began it. The demand for spoons was so great that ordinary designs gave out, and since then, though the spoon fad is said to have died a natural death there is always 0 spoon for every important event and some one must buy them. There certainly never was a. prettier or more in- tere sting fad. A souvenir spoon may break the ice at the most icy festivity And now that patriotism is the order of the day the American flag Is to the fore. It may be questionable taste to have the flag In the bowl of ones spoons, but the flag has served for worse purposes.
 The flag pin appeals very generally to people of all classes Quantities of the pins with the flag buttons are sold in cheap designs, but perhaps people have no idea now much money is invested in valuable articles of this kind.
 Large Investments are made in belt buckles. These are made, most of them from regular designs of army and navy buckles, though some of them are in orig inal patriotic designs. A beautiful belt made to order of gold for woman the other day will cost $50. A good deal, that seems. to pay for what some people will consider only fad, but the buckle is of the finest workmanship and will always have an artistic as well intrinsic value. Another belt buckle made of silvergilt and enamel belt buckle madehrdu cmfwyp hrd enamel presupposes an Anglo American al- liance, and an enthusiastic American wo- man Is to have upon 1t the American flag and the Union Jack of Old England" crossed.
 The Cuban flag is but little In demand. There Is very little call for it. and some dealers are patriotic enough to say that they would not carry it in their stock.
 The woman who doesn't carry a gun now adays is an exception. The Maine guns In lead pencils have been very popular since they have been out. They are in many designs in silver and in gun metal, and range in price from $350 to $5.
 The Maine ring Is extremely pretty-a square ring of Roman gold. bearing the name of the Maine in raised letters, with the date of the great catastrophe. and set in, panel fashion, at one side, an oblong of blue enamel, with gold stars upon it.
 Every girl is longing for a drum in these warlike days. She wants a big one, too, and 1t is not alone for patriotism, but is 0 display of peaceful, unwarllke tastes. The drums are as natural as it is possible for starred, satin-covered drums to be, and they are genuine drumsticks at the side
