Notes and Gossip ofInterest
BY ANNIE KENnRIcK WALKER


The members of the Creche are arrang-
ing for a brilliant national festival, which
will be held in the park at North Bir-
mingham. The patriotic wave which has
spread itself in delightful breadth over the
country for months has not receded. At
the meeting of the executive and enter
tainment committees of the Creche yester-
day it was decided to give a festival at
which the national colors would prevail,
and national airs be played. The festival
will be given on Tuesday and Thursday,
June 20 and %, from to in the afternoon
and to 10 in the evenings. The pavilion
will be draped in the American eolors, and
from the balcony a band will play ma
tional airs. The park will be lighted with
colored lanterns and light luncheons will
be served under the trees. The children
are especially invited in the afternoons,
the earlier hours having been arranged for
their pleasures The women who have the
arrangements in charge are planning
charming affair, and it seems almost un-
necessary to speak of the cause for which
they are working. The Creche has never
failed to appeal with a peculiar tenderness
to those who know of its mission, and the
entertainments which have been given in
the past for the Creche have probably
brought together the greatest number of
people for the cause of sweet charity than
all other similar occasions.
The festival, given at so enchanting
spot as the park at North Birmingham,
will give society an opportunity of show
ing how charitable it can be even in warm
weather.
Extra cars will be put on the lines. and
there will be no delay in transportation.
