MEETING OF THE
 WoMAN's HOME,

The weekly meeting of the officers and board of managers of the Woman's Home Association was held yesterday afternoon at the home, and Mrs. L. B. Wyman,, honorary life president, was present.
 A pretty incident of the, occasion was the receiving of box of pennies donated to the Home by little Master Archibald Mcqueen. His little friends had gotten up a pin show'' for his amusement, and paid him pennies as entrance fees. When the children had gone. he told his mother to put them In box and send them to the Woman's Home"
 When a member of the association was asked How much was in the box," she replied:
 "oh, don't know! that doesn't matter there was so much more in the act than money"
 And so there was! There was the evi- dence of a little heart that. young as 1t is. beats with tender thoughtful sympa- thy for those in need.
 One of the inmates of the home, it is reported, Is getting on nicely in an en- terprise that is a new departure there She does up lace curtains and is an ex- pert at it. It will be a kindness in those who are Interested in the Home to give her any work of this kind.

 A guest writes the following of an en- tertainment at Rajah Lodge, the home of Hon. and Mrs Wm. Aldrich, near Montevalio:
 Monday afternoon Mrs. W. F. Aldrich entertained the Studioeis Club at RaJah Lodge.
 Invitations to this beautiful Southern home are always the source of anticf- pated joy, and Monday afternoon only added to the many pleasures before ex- perienced at "Rajah Lodge"
 The guests were all allowed a visit through the conservatories. where the magnificent chfysanthemums outrivaled any perhaps in the State. The beautiful collection of azaleas were much comment ed upon, as also were the great number of otahaite oranges, which looked So tropical in their golden harvest.
 Mrs. Aldrich's palms are noted for be- ing the, handsomest in Alabama, many of them measuring q yard across the leaf A visit to the fernery brought forth calculations of delight from the guests. Here is found numberless varieties of ferns. and the arrangement and grouping of the plants Is most artistic. Above the green beauty of the ferns. hung the love- 1y lilac orchids. in their wooden and log homes, temptingiy displaying the color tones which my lady so loves to wear this season. After the enjoyment of the beautiful landscape gardens. the guests assembled in the spacious drawing room where punch was served. later on in the evening an elegant bouftet luncheon be- ing served.
 Rajah Lodge is an ideal home for any soil or any cline, and the hospitality of heart and thought which always abides there. makes one glad because of the makers of this beautiful home, and to be the guest of MT. and Mrs. Aldrich is to be made thrice happy, indeed.

Alligators' nests resemble hayeoeks
more than anything else TO which they
can be compared. They average about
four feet in height and five feet in
diameter and are constructed Of grasses

deposits one layer of eggs on mortar
like floor, and, having covered this with
a stratum of mud and heritage about
eight inches thick, lays another set Of
eggs upon that. and so on to the top,
there being commonly from 100 to 200
eggs in a nest. With their tails the par
ents then beat down the tall grass and
weeds to prevent the approach Of un-
