A BIRNs CHAM
 L-ADY'S TRANSFO R M ATlON.

A well-l1nown Birmingham lady while down town the other day was greatly chagrinned when several ac- quaintances whom she passed on Nineteenth street failed to return her pleasant smile and familiar saluta- tion. She tried in vain to imagine what she had said or done to cause this coolness on the part of her erst- while friends, and her heart was trou- bled. In this frame of mind she sought counsel of a neighbor in whom she was wont to confide, and her perplexity increased when the neigh bor looked at her long and wondering ly before exclaiming:
 "Why ; what in the world have you done to yourselfg'
 Then the truth slowly dawned up- on her. and the cloud lifted. She was reconcied.
 She had failed to remember that her friends had not looked upon her altered face as often as she had dur ing the ten days that had elapsed since the transformation first begun, and were not prepared for the change that had been wrought The lady in question had been all her life affliet- ed. as so many otherwise handsome women are. with several large un- slightly moles on the cheek and lip. By some mysterious process they had all disappeared, and she stood before { her neighbor with the soft fresh bloom of a clean and healthy skin. Then, came the explanation. She had been to see Madame Post. the well-known complexion specialist, who has treated several hundred la dies during her brief sojourn in Blr- mingham all of whom have been so much improved as to cause them to make this kind fairy the subject of favorable comment in the little chats at the soda fountains.
 Madame Post is an enthusiast 6 her profession, and with an innate and unconquerable love for the beaut- iful can not imagine why any woman should be satisfied to become old and wrinlkled and ugly when only a little intelligent understanding of how to care for the skin will keep it fresh and soft at fifty. With a practical experience of fifteen years, she has mastered all the secrets known to the science of dermatology and is en- dorsed by the highest authorities in this line. There is no excuse for a woman having moles, freckles or other blemishes to be longer annoyed with them while this safe and certain remedy is at hand. Her parlors are
 open daily from to 1 and 3 to 5.
 Consultations are free. Her address
 is 19lSia Second avenue, over Cox's
 Shoe store.

coated with dust and grease that to the novice it seems but rubbish and very dirty rubbish at that, and know that un- der the proper treatment the dull and grimy surface will attain wonderful polish, the subtle, satiny polish of rose wood and mahogany.
 There is a revolution taking place in house furnishings and needed one too, for it is time we rebelled against the flood of cheap showy, and veneered fur niture held together by glue and cried out for the mell-made and substantial articles that our forebears rejoiced in We owne much to William Morris and all the crafters of his like, who teach the beauty of simple lines, fine material, and solid honest workmanship; little by lit- tie we are attaining the simple life, life in it's best and broadest sense, and build ing houses for homes, not storehouses for senseless bric-a-brac, stuffy draper les, carpets and upholstered furniture that one dare not let the sun shine on, but must shut away until some occasion for display arises. Away with furnish ings too good for every day use, and substitute the simpler but always artis- tic things that can bear the God-given sunshine, and relieve the tired house. wife of the eternal warfare against moth and dust.
 Alabama is especially rich in old and rare pieces of furniture seemingly hav- ing escaped the eagle eye of the collec- tors who have literally swept the coun- try, and those who are we'll versed in antiquities of this sort have some speci- ments that would make glad the heart of all collectors.
 It has been the desire of the Exchange for some time to have for sale and ex- hibit articles of furniture, pieces of sil- yer and pictures belonging to the good old days. and, as usual, when women set their hearts to some special purpose have accomplished it. They will shortly have on exhibit two solid mahogany chairs which were used by the confed- crate congress when it first met in Mont gomery. One was used by Mir. Rhett the other by MT. Broclxenbrough, con- gressman from South Carolina and Vir- ginia respectively; they were sold when Mir Screws was secretary of state and the written proof of their genulneness will be given
 On hand at present the Exchange has a number of exquisite water colors once owned by an old English family of birth and distinction. They were brought to this country by a member of the family and are wonderfully well preserved con- sidering their age. Another rare bit is pocket-case of wood decorated with gilt and bearing on it's face the portrait of a woman in quaint Spanish costume. It Is hand-painted and the colors still very clear and good. One hundred years is its age so far as Is known. It was given to it's present owner by an old man of eighty. who said it was the prop erty of his father and was brought by him from Ireland.
 Then there is box of India rosewood. that rare, dark wood which is at once the delight and despair of the modern woodcraftesman so hard 1t is to obtain, curously inlaid with scrolls of German silver. and having secret compartment that is delightful hiding place for old

against mittens, for they have found that the mischievous summer sun im- prints a faithful portrait of the pattern of the lace on their skins copying his joke of last year, when pneumonia blouses'' were worn and the shoulders of those who favored them were tatooed with the lines and arabesques of their de- sign. The inelegant canvas gloves of- fered, usually in vain, to a sex weary of the restraint of kid play the same trick and enlarge the apparent size of the hand as well. traits that do not recom- mend them to women
 White kid gloves are m most demand now for evening and daytime affairs The no-glove pioneers carry theirs like men in the day and wear them at night to go backward and forward between the restaurant and tho theaters, removing them for dinner and for the play. The glovers have no need to resort to the old subterfuge of making their wares one size smaller than reality, because mod ern women are being taught that tight gloves induce scarlet noses, and that by weakening the muscles and impoverish- ing the skin of the hands faded and wrinkled hands are induced long before age should touch and mar.
 Manicurists are prospe1ng as the re- suit of the no-glove movement. Their clients are legion The present aim of the manicurist is to perpetuate in the hands the lovelness of infancy up to ex- treme old age.
 Nail and finger-tip coioring Is out of vogue, and talons, once so modish. are now taboo. Though they view with Va vor the craze for large finger rings and the consequent abandonment of gloves they recommend night gloves of their own preparing, which are smeared in- side with paste-balm to give whiteness and softness to the hands,"

ENGLISH WOMEN
 DISCARD GLOVES

One fashion frequently influences an other. Jewelry is at this moment exercis- ing an London an autocratic sway over gloves. Women wear rings with enor- nous stones. over which the ordinary well-ftting glove is an exceedingly irk- some article of attire.
 Four courses are open to her. Either she must submit to gloves a size or two larger than those to which she is ac- customed, or she must discards gloves altogether, or she must wear her jewelry outside her gloves as the dandies of the Stuart period did or she must slash her gloves to reveal the glistenng gems be- neath-after the manner of the galants of a still earlier age, as proved by an cient pictures. In discussing the sub ject the London Mail says;
 ''There are objections to all these meth ods but the least annoying is to leave off gloves. This Is what many women are now doing. steathily but surely they are feeling their way toward the attitude men have so long assumed-that gloves are only worth regarding from a utili- tarian standpoint, as coverings to con- fer warmth upon the hands or to keep them clean. There is one sole occasion upon which a man puts on gloves in de- ference to the demands of etiquette and that is when he dances Neither have women yet dared to leave them off for these affairs, nor for state appearances, at the opera and at parties in great houses.
 Observant of the trend of fashion and the independent attitude of the good cus- toners, the glovers have added mittens to their stock. But in this country among the welI-dressed set mittens have proved a conspicuous failure both for day and evening wear.

THE ALABAMA HOME.
Not Temporary Stopping Place That Belongs to Your Landlord, But a Home.

Not-a section of a tenement house, fill ed with noisy children, but a home where you can gather your family about you when the days work is done and be at peace. Perhaps you have thought that you could never get a home-that your income is too small, and that such an in- vestment would be away beyond your means Let us see. What do you pay for rent every month? How much would that amount to in year? How much in six years? At any rate how long would 1t take you to pay for a home :?
 Now, if you really want a home, "The Alabama Home" is ia a position to help you immensely in the, matter. You can get the money to buiie on time and pay off the loan in monthly installments, the payments being but little more than you now pay for rent. Rent receipts are not assets. Suppose you were to die, would you not rather leave your family house and lot than handful of rent receipts Of course you would. Come and talk to us about 1t.

Perhaps there is no fad quite so fas- cinating as the collecting of antique fur niture, certainly none that has such sat isfying results, occasionally very profit able, too, when one considers that the sum of fifty thousand dollars was recent ly paid for a rare cabinet by Buhl.
 It requires no little study to become expert enough to know al a glance the period during which an article was made, to comprehend the mysteries of varnish and inlay, but one is amply repaid by the field that such study opens. And what joy to come across some treasure so
