TEXTILE DEPARTMENT
 OF THE STATE FAIR.

'fThe premium list of the Alabama fair has been received from the publish CTS" said Mrs. J. B. Reid superintend- ent of the woman's department yester- day and any one desiring a copy can call at the office on First avenue. In the woman's department the list is not as complete as was desired by the man agement. but with only limited time in which to make up this department, it has been impossible to attain perfection. The textile section is intended to con tain all kinds of exhibits of woman's handiwork. The old ladies work has always been beautiful display and one lace work last year was beautiful and varied. This of course is tedious, and requires great painstakng, and of itself speaks of the vivacity and industry of our Alabama grandmothers The prem ium invites the school girl to put forth her efforts and display the same amount of industry.
 No home is complete without adorn- ment and much of it should be the re- suit of it's daughters attainments The accomplished lady used to refer to music and such arts as only prepared her for the social life that was typical of our southern Hospitality, and leisure. Now. however since time has wrought such wonderful changes among us no young woman is thoroughly accomplished until she is familiar with the needle, tEe cook book and such arts as will fit them for the emergencies of home.

FASHION NOTES OF
 THE FALL AND WINTER.

Many of the following fashion notes are culled from the leading American Dress Goods Journal: The Dryetaoim dress goods journal, "The Dry Goods Economist" and as seen among the im- porters, and the most exclusive French models, by one of Birmingham's largest importers. They are especially complied for this department of The Age-Herald;
 The fabrics that will represent the high key of fashion during this season will be rough woolen. Next to these comes a considerable and increasing range of velveteens-plain, corded, metal printed and fancy printed For lighter use in warmer climes and for the earlier part of the season some taffetas, moires, moire velour, satins, peau de soie and some few fancy silks. the last for evening wear and dressier occasions.
 The transparent and light thin fabric of silk and wool, as well as the laces, chiffons, grenadines mousselines and fancy fancy fabrics of a delicate order form the bulk of the engagements for evening wear
 It must always be understood when talking of a seasons business that the vast majority of materials offered are necessarily of the plainer varieties. The pidin cuOtnS. zlBeHneS Tn SOnu color, piece dyed, usually form nine-tenths of the market production. However. even these plainer weavers, whether perfectly smooth or nap finished, follow. to a cer- tain extent the forms of the fancy ma- terials of such a season and are simply plainer copies of the more novel forms introduced by the higher ideas of manu- facture
 This season, however, the preponder- ance Is in the fancy end of the business. The great French manufacturers have suddenly turned their attention to a va riety of weavss and constructions.
 The result of turning in favor of bou- cles, boutonnes woven dots, hairy me langes, friezes, Oxfords and cheviots and ether nondescript weaves in wills, square mesh, plain woven and other forms Of construction has made it possible for a vast rar ge of novel and desirable woolen goods to be put before the consumer.
 Many plaids of smaller type principally green ard blue mixtures and not ap- Iroachng the tartan forms, but stin clinging to some of the quieter tartan combinations, have been introduced with success in Paris and in America.
 The velveteen movement at the present time is more strongly indicated in Paris than even inA America. The American gowns worn in Paris during the past spring and winter made a great impress

THE MONTE CARLO WRAP.

Among the new things for fall wear shown by leading Birmingham im- porter, are some of the most beautiful wraps, known as the Monte Carlo. They are from 25 to 27 inches in length The characteristic of the Monte Carlo is that it has a full back and front, many of them being made with an inverted plait, pointing down the center of the back to give it more fuilness. It comes in a va riety of lengths from 35 inches to 30 inches the SO-inch seems to be the most in de- mand. One very handsome one, and an imported one, shown at this place is made of very fine broadcloth, made 3S ineSes in length with long reyers run ming to the bottom. A collar, vest and cuffs, of bright emerald green valour has double back cape with three rows of bias folds around the bottom, of the same material. The edges of the cape and revers are left raw and unfinished. The sleeves are the large mandolin, so called on account of their resemblance to that instrument It is truly work of art

Newcomers to Birmingham.

The Taylor school has been almost the unanimous choice of those who have come from the well-organized schools of the north and east and have feared that the school progress of their chill dren would be retarded by removal to this section The changest to this school is followed by results no more undesir- able than are involved in changing schools anywhere.
 To emphasize this point there is here inserted the copy of letter from the former manager of the Alabama Steel and Shipbuilding company, at Ensley:
 Cleveland, O., September 27 1901 Prof. Wm. P Taylor. Principal The Tay-
 Tor School. Birmingham, Ala.
 My Dear Sir:-I wish to express the satisfaction and appreciation of Mrs Pal mer and myself for the advantages gain ed by our son, Reid, in his attendance at your school The idea of removing to Birmingham caused us some appre- hension regarding Reids education, but we can now conscientiously say that it was a decided benefit and advantage to him by reason of his attendance at your school Not only the thorough course of study and the seemingly individual attention given to each pupil, but the moral and Christian influence exerted to bring out the true principals of man. hood and the building of character make your school and work a success. We commend your school to all. and wish you the success you so richly deserve. Accept our heartfelt thanks. Yours sim cerely, VIM. R. PALMER.

 with silk braid and French ornaments with contrasting black velvet. Another very handsome Monte Carlo is made T inches long of black Peau-de-soi. It has a circular triple cape with the mandolin sleeves, and revers which extend to the bottom of the coat. The coat is faced with white moire, this is embroidered with a fancy ersian design.
 Another one for an elderly lady is made of the same material on a similar style. trimmed with 12-inch galloon, black and white silk braid. This is also lined with Peau-de-soi.
 In tailor made suits the blouse effect are once again to be very popular, but the tight fitting Eton will divide honors with them The bloused suits are a modi- fication of the old style, having short lip skirts attached to them. The postil- lion back which for some time has at tempted to claim its share of public fa- vor bids fair this year to be a promin- ent feature of the styles.
 mong the handsome suits Is a black broadcloth. made with light grey vest of the same material The vest is trim med with black braids, the jacket is further trimmed with French ornaments. The skirt is the full flare, rather plain. except that it has inverted kilts around the bottom.
 Another one is of rought pebble order; it has blouse jacket with soft lor~ roll shawl collar and revers This ono has straight velvet vest to match, vest trimmed with Persian embroidery. and has the mandolin sleeves. The skirt is the flare with trimmings to match jacket

IN RECOMMENDING t

NN RECOMMENDING the establish A ment of school of correction for ~ girls Chief of Police c. w. Austin Df Birmingham has not only taken a step that will be commended throughout the state, but ore that is in every way con- sistent with his position.
 When the chief of police of one of the largest and most important cities in the south urges the establishing of such an institution as is proposed by Chief Aus fin there must be strong reasons for it's existence That he took advantage of an occasion when the chiefs of police throughout Alabama were discussing criminal statistics to point out the need of reformation among young girls adds to the weight Of his words.
 The problem to which he refers is one that seems to have been overlooked. In the criminal statistics of the state the number cf women Is so far behind that of men criminals that it may come as something of a revelation when a chief of police considers a school of correction for girls Of great importance.
 In his address before the convention of Alabama chiefs of police at Tuscaloosa the past week President Austin did not dwell in detail concerning the cases that had come under his personal observa- ticn, but what ho said indicated sufficient investigation end knowledge of condi- ficns as they exist in Alabama to justify the eloquent appeal made by him in be- half of the friendless and hapless young girls of the state. In calling attention to their condition an1 the safeguard that should be thrown around them Chief Austin has presented situation that can no longer be passed over in silence.
 As pointed out in his discussion on reformations, the state of Alabama has less reformatories and schools of cor rection than any other state in the union
 I've have one institution in Birming- ham," said Chief Austin in the course of his remarks, that is the result of faithful efforts and perseverance of the christian women of that city This is a very small school and Is filled to it's utmost capacity all the time. We have many uncomfortable boys throughout our state that are fast travelling the criminal paths, that could be made use full men if they could be placed in a school of correction.
 "Another thing to which I call your att tention is the necessity of a school of cor rection for girls. There are many cases that have come under my observation recently when a school of this kind would have been salvation to the par ties interested"
 President Austin then gave several in- teresting accounts of cases which he had observed within the past few months, and pointed out the most good to be derived from efforts toward the reforma- tion of young girls.
 'T have had within the past three years" he said, fifteen or twenty girls sent to reformatories in other states and l urge each and every one of you to exert every effort to secure donations from your town or city to establish, in some part of the state, a school of cor rection for girls and to uphold and en- large the Boys industrial school, and

 "The King Dodo' hat is unique to say the least and is simply a rolled brim sail nr with a band of back velvet ribbon around the crown, and a bow of the same with long ends, depending from the back bandeau, on the top of the low flat crown, to the side front is placed in a stiff upright position, a large peaked bird head.
 Grey squirrel, mink and ermine are the furs most used. Plush is used exten- sively; chiffon too, finds favor in com bination with the beaver materials. In black a great deal of jet is usod and some chenille Dyed chamois skin, and kid crowns are extreme novelties"
 Another importer who has just return ed from New York said;
 ''The millinery opening in New York of the importers, which give true reflex of the styles in Paris dictate the fash ions for headgear in the United States" In regard to the shapes this season, he mentioned the flat effects as being the majority and the bell crowns, low and mud shape, the shepherdess and Amazon styles as prevailing
 The dress shapes are mostly low with very broad crowns. The newest indica- tions from Paris are turbans with broad crowns and the brim about one and half inches projecting. Among the ma terials to be used are parme velvets and glove finished. and the mirror velvets. MoleslSin and beaver materials are the height of fashion, while happy felts, ruff effects are the materials sought after for street hats.
 "Pushes very fuzzy, are new materials for smart hats The season is doing its best to initiate the styles of twenty years ago in adopting all camelshair ef- fleets.
 Birds, wings and fancy feathers are shown in large varieties The ostrich will be the favorite in fine dress wear. Colors are the old fashion cardinal all tones or yellow-to some lively greens.
 'Black and black and white combina- tions are still the standard of elegance. Laces and flounces are shown on many models.
 'The favorite fur and the most fash ionable is squirrel and ermine-mink, Persian lamb and sable are to be used.
 Among the hats shown by this importer was black parme velvet from Caro- lima rebond It was made of velvet strips ornamented with a lobster shaped os- trich plume 54 inches long. A mink hat by Virot, trimmed with plumes to match the fur.
 A Tarina thrban by Susanna Birming- ham, was made of camelshair cloth trimmed with a marabean feather and ornamented with Nurnberg pins, the lat est achievement in ornaments.

numerous criminals will be checked in their infancy"
 President Austin also stated that if the people of Alabama were brought to realize the necessity of such institutions 1t would be but a short time before we would nave an institution that would be a credit to our citizens and to our state.
 He stated further that it was not only the duty of a chef of police and 1lis men to apprehend criminals, but to as sist in the reformation of both sexes
 Alabama Is sorely in need of a reform atory for girls especially.

1T is COOL IN COLORADO.
Heavy Travel to Rocky Mountains
Predicted for This Summer.

Over 20, 900 tourists visited Colorado
last summer. In the opinion of Gen
eral Passenger Agent Francis Of the
Burlington route, this number will
show great increase for the sum
mer of 1902. Good times and the ex-
tremely low rates announced by the
railroads. are expected to give the
Rocky Mountain resorts an unpre-
cedented number of tourists who de-
sire to miss the summers heat of the
cities and the plains. 1t is also ex-
pected that trips through Yellowstone
National Park and through the Black
Hills of South Dakota will prove more
popular this year than ever before,
the railraod reports indicating numer-
Gus inquiries about low rates to these
localities.
