 The Donnybrook Fair has each year been more brilliant than the year before, and this spring 6he Infirmary Aid prom ises an ilsttial entertainment far surpass- ing anything it has undertaken hereto fore.
 The Colonial Fete will be attended by every woman of social prominence in the city, and the interest in this superb and beautiful spectacle has extended to Mo bile Birmingham and Selma, where al- ready the fashionable women are dis cussing the toilettes most becoming with powdered hair, patches and a suggestion of rouge-an the accessories of that charming period of Queen Anne and the early Georges. At home maids and madams are in the full speed of prepara- tion of the event that will make the com ing Easter time long remembered. The men will have no part in the picturesaue feature of the evening, as they are ex- pected merely to wear their ordinary full dress clothes and to forego powdered hair and small swords. Ad0.
