Eccentric Summer HINTS.

Very picturesque n extraordinary
are the hats. out modifying rapidly I'M
der popular disapproval of their eccen-
tricity. Hats made entirely of flowers
in the new shapes are fresh and at
tractive in their coloring, out fortu-
nately are not worn excepting in the
smaller shapes. Never has there been
u time when hats attractive in the
original model a be made so hideous.
A tulle or chiffon hat made Of tucks
and of the shape that is fiat against the
head at the back and with the brim
turned off the face and trimmed with q
spray of roses is a pretty model, but
the same idea copied in coarse illusion
and trimmed with quantities of cheap
lilies of the valley is extremely ugly.
Just now there are a number of hats
in good shapes and in all colors that
may be bought ready made and require
very little extra trimming. There are
soft rosettes of taffeta silk and large
roses with leaves, either of which is all
that is needed to make the hat look
smart, but the larger ready made hats
of colored illusions and trimmed with
quantities of small flowers are simply
a hideous travesty of the present style

Gold Trimmfncs.

The craze for gold in varied effects
has not abated very much and bids
fair to prosper throughout the sum-
mer. But it will be noticed that the
gold is more delicately distributed
than it was in the winter. The gold
laces are very pretty, and the new
ribbons interviewer with gold or EN-
broidered with it are charming.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets GIVE PERFECT DIGESTION, soUNr SLEEP, STRONG NERVES. A Popular Remedy for DyspepsIs Which Haa Made Many Remark
 able Cures,

The spring of the year is the time for blood purifiers. It is the season when we think we must dose ourselves with sarsa- parillas, btters and the endless list of so-called blood purifiers and nerve tonics.
 As n matter of fact, there Is but one possible way in which to purify the blood. and that is through the stomach and bowels.
 Pure blood results from wholesome food thoroughly digested. Impure blood re- suits from poor digestion and assimila- ton. When the stomach refuses to work properly the food remains too long a time, fermenting, forming gases, shown by sour bitter taste in the mouth, bloating. and belching of gas, and distress and discomfort generally. Poor blood, weak nerves sleeplessness and a general don't care feeling can always be traced to iln- perfect digestion.
 This is the reason why Stuarts Dys- pepisa Tablets are superior to all other spring medicines and blood purifiers They give perfect digestion, the food does not lie in the stomach for hours They give a vigorous appetite, sound sleep strong nerves. and wholesome food well digested makes pure blood and in no oth- CT way can the blood be purified The idea that medicine, in itself, will purify the blood when the stomach and diges- tive organs are out of order is nonsense Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are used by thousands in preference to ''bitters," .'af- ter dinner pills" and blood purifiers" because they remove the cause of the im- pure blood and you do not have to take them forever to get results. Dyspepsia is an obstinate disease to cure. and a rem edy must be designed especially for it and nothing else. Cure-alls will not cure dyspepsia.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not claimed to cure everything or anything except Dyspepsia and stomach troubles, and for that it stands alone among patent medicines. Any one suffering from any trouble with their digestion will find these tablets will give immediate relief and permanent cure.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pre- pared by the F. A. Stuart Go. of Mar shall, Mich, and sold by druggists every where at 50 cents per package, No dieting nor change of habits is required they digest the food.

Mir. T.C. DeLeon.

On Friday evening, April 26, MT. T. c, DeLeon will deliver his famous lecture. 'The Creole His Habitat and His Car nival," at Pollock Stephens Institute, for the benefit of Pelham chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy.
 MT. DeLeon needs no introduction to Birmingham as, besides having a large number of close personal friends, he Is known through his many books, which have ever been so popular. As the author author of -Four Years in Rebel Capi- tals," "A Fair Blockade Breaker" Gre ole and Puritan" John Holden. Union- ist," etc., He is known far and wide, and now he comes to us as a lecturer, in which role he has won unbounded praise.
 On April he delivered lecture to the Cincinnati Conference, the most exclu- sive club of that city.
 So we'll was this lecture received that he has been requested to repeat it in a larger hall, and also to give two lectures next year.
 Although Pelham chapter has heen lit tie before the public, yet 1t has been ac- complaining a good deal in the way of benefiting old soldiers. On Memorial Day, the afternoon of the 26th. the chap ter will present the Cross of Honor to over 200 Confederate Veterans, and it seems fitting close to the exercises of the day, that Mir. DeLeon lecture for their benefit.

side of the occasion, and this suggestion
 does not come too late to be carried out. The only decoration required would be in ornamenting the brides and this could be done artistically and with very little expense.
 If Capt J. Bruce Morson of Troop D would take this part of the parade in charge 1t would be one of it's handsomest features.
 At the floral parade in August the cross country riders made. it is said, the most brilliant spectacle in the parade, their scarlet coats giving a splendid dash of color.
 At the floral parade in Macon, the maids of honor were attended in the procession by outriders, who acted as their escorts at the floral ball.
 There the queen and her maids were at tired to represent flowers, their brilliant costumes being most effective. Birminghams queen and her maids will be beautifully gowned In white and no prettier scene can be imagined than the afternoon that the floral pageant. led by the queens carriage, a-bloom with white roses. which will be followed by the flow er-bedecked coach filled with "Anperican beauties" will wend it's way along the streets of Birmingham.
 Among those who will enter traps are
 Mrs. John w. Tomlinson, Mrs. Walker
 
 NJ. Tutwiler, Mrs. Harry s. Matthews, Mrs. B. L. Byman, Mrs. J. Taylor Scott,
 Mrs. Charles Schoolar. Mrs. Robert Mum ger, Mrs Walter Moore, Mrs. w. Cor

 There are numbers of prominent young clubmen who own traps the bachelor contingent, and if they are public spir- ited,' as a charming young amarried wo- man expressed it last night, they will decorate them and turn them over to the Birmingham belles and beauties who do not own traps but who are simply dy- ing to go in the parade. This sugges- ton does not apply alone to the wealthy young bachelors. but to everybody who owns a trap but who do not intend en- tering the parade. There are numbers of charming people who would decorate traps if they had the opportunity, and quite frequently the woman who is en- Enthusiastically in favor of the parade and who talks it upf continuously does not own trap, but her interest and work count for just as much as if she was go- ing to decorate her own trap. Indeed, the women who are decorating" haven't any time to discuss the parade, and the wo- man who will not be ''in it' can talk it to her hearts content.
