 There will certainly be but little trouble in collecting the funds to erect this build ing. The executive board of the Fair as- sociation are very much interested in the project and promise Us material assist anee, several without solicitation having expressed the intention of taking stock.
 ''Did you know that it is proposed" con- tinued Mrs. French, ito have a city li- brary in this building? This is certainly something in which the citizens of Bir- mingham will take an interest. eom- fortabe hall suitable for lectures and con- certs is to be one of the attractions of the building and a roof garden will add greatly to the pleasure of the long sum- mer nights. The women do not propose to exclude the men from participating in the enjoyment of these attractive quarters.
 The women of all towns work energetic ally for the churches, but l know of no place where the women have accomplished more in helping to pay debts on churches than in this city, and it is to be expected that the clergy and leading men of the churches will now lend most willing and helping hand in the erection of this home for the women's societies. In fact, the willingness of women to help men in all work they undertake when they ask their help is the sure guarantee that now that the women are asking to be helped in this project which will be a source of pride and pleasure to men, women and children, they will not need to go begging for pur- chasers of stock.
 When questioned in regard to the social features of the fair the secretary said they were in able hands. That in the art of entertaining women had so long excelled

 With the incident of its return comes the pretty story that its once shining folGs were made from a gown of Miss McIver, who was southern belle and beauty. From
