possibly to every danger-physicaI and moral. Can we blame the negroes for growing up unprlncipled, immoral, when more than half their lives in childhood and youth are left unwatched, unguarded?
 Perhaps just here is the solution, or help, for the perplexed race problem.
 I do not idealize the negro character. No one could have suffered greater trials than I have at times endurer in dealing with the present half-educated, unskilled, unrelia- ble domestic labor of the South, with which most of us have to contend, with but few exceptions. But I have hopes of the possibilities of the future, with im- proved environments in the formation period of their characters I believe there have been real Uncle Toms"
 Would not the day nursery prove an in- verse benefit to employers-for could you not conscientiously demand more time of your servants did the proposed conditions exist?
 The suggestions of the day nursery to many minds may be visionary, Utopian-- but mo necessity is Utopian."

Urges Establishment of Day Nurseries in the South WIFE OF EPISCOPAL BISHOP Alabama Women Who Are Colonial Dames-MiSs Morrow to Wed
 a New York ActOr-in
 the Social World
BY ANNIE KENDRIcK WALKER.

Mrs Madge Blair Barnwell of Selma, the brilliant wife of Bishop Barnwell, of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, is agitating the need of establishing day nurseries for the accommodation of children where work ing mothers may leave them in safety when employed away from home. Mrs. Barn wells has made a study of conditions that exist in the South, and strongly urges the establishment of those institutions that have proven successful in the great cities of the North. In discussing the practical advantages Mrs. Barnwell declares that there can be no movement that would more effectually solve many problems that exist today than that looking towards the es- tablishment of day nurseries. She regards this work to be one of the most needed charities in the South, and in the following article she discusses the subject eloquently. She says:
 May I present to the hearts and heads of Southern people a situation and necessity which has, for long time, impressed me? Viz: The need of a day nursery for the little children of working mothers, both white and black.
 A day nursery is a house equipped for the accommoda ton of children where work ing mothers may leave them in safety when employed away from home. The mothers would probably have to pay the nominal cost of cents per day. Children and nurses are, of course, subject to the control of a matron or deaconess, who, as at the day nursery of Grace Memorial House, New York, is called the "House Mother"
 It is not for the children of idle, worth less mothers I speak, but for the little ones of industrious, worthy women who to earn their support, leave their little ones to enforced neglect.
 Once on a visit to a white woman in East Selma, finding her out, while awaiting her

 The order of the Descendants of Colonial Governors was founded in January, 1S96, by Miss Mary Cabell Richardson of Coving- ton, Ky, a>Colonial Dame of Virginia, and Daughter of the American Revolution.

A LAUGH IN CHURCH.

She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear. wee woman Of four.
Her feet, in their shiny slippers,
Hung dangling OS,r the floor.
She meant TO be gOod-she had promised
And so, with her big, brown ewes,
She stared at the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought of the honeybees
Droning away at the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees;
She thought of broker basket
Where, curled in a dusky heap,
Three sleek, round puppies with fringy eau
Lay snuggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle;
Such queer little hearts to beat;
Such swift, round tongues to kiss;
Such sprawling, cushiony feet!
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin
And a cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips
So quick that she could not catch it
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered. ''Bless the childl"
As each one walked from nap,
But the dear. wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.
