A number of subscriptions were received yesterday to the Creche fund. Those who are interested in the helpless little ones at the Mercy Home and who wish to contribute to the fund now being raised for them are requested to send their con tributions to the society department of The Age Herald. There Is a large family of children at the home and the Greene maintains In it's department thirty-two children. The winter is here with it's many demands Warm clothing must be bought and to provide even decently for thirty
 two children Is not an easy task. It is impossible to carry on the work of the Creche without financial assistance and the cause of the helpless children is one appealing at all times to everyone. This present appeal should be responded to by hundreds of people and the Creche which seeks to look after the little waifs who find their way into the Mercy Home will be most grateful for any assistance.

BIRMlNcHAM's BLUE BOOK.

The recent suggestion that Birmingham should have a blue book has met with so much favorable encouragement that the announcement that the copyright has been secured will be received with pleas ure Many hostesses will welcome the social directory, which will contain classi- fled lists of the clubs and names and addresses of society people. The task of editing such a publication is by no means an easy one. for Birmingham. with its social life yearly augmented by people from all over the country, presents con ditons not to be found in the old cities, where there are but few changes. For this very reason social directory will fill long-felt want. Society women and club men will find 1t invaluable. and no host or hostess will be able to be without the Birmingham blue book.

GuERIN,s FRENCH STUDIES.

Jules Guerin is to be one of the exhibi- tors here at the December exhibition, and of his pictures seen last week in New York. Amulet Andrews writes:
 This Jules Guerln is France itself. He has caught in his work all the poetry, the mysticism, the spectacular brilliance and charm of that enchanting land.
 It is so hard to give any definite idea on paper of these exquisite nuances In greys and greens; to tell of fountain and trees all grey and silver as one sees them on a grey day in France; to snow a cobble- stoned courtway flooded With light from an open doorway; to picture that romantic chateau of the Loire in the tender twilight of a spring day. it's roofs and turrets showing greyish green against the luminous sky, its foundations Tapped by the limped ebb and flow of sii- yer waters From a turret window shines a golden light reflected on the waters be- low, a golden flower of the night on a shimmerng silver shield.
 And behind these gardens and castles this apparent impressionistic ease and
 
 what perfection in line drawing. what brilliance of execution! How beautiful are the proportions, how carefully studied every detail. how fine is the composition! , Poetry, harmony, drama art, all these are the guerdon of great artist.
 In the collection there ar other subjects besides castles and fountains and trees subjects we all know as Guerins through the magazine illustrations. Clowns. Co., lumbines, dervish dancers, all these hu- man subjects, part and parcel of the dra- matic instinct of painter who can in- terpret the spectacular drama of French nature
 Look at these pictures and you under stand at once. without explanation that at twilight in France lamp with scar let shade casts purple shadow. There IS no reason for this perverse act on the part of the lamp, except that, being Tn France, and, therefore, a dramatic lamp, alive to stage effects and cognizant of the fact that purple shadow from scar let shade would prove supremely effective the lamp just casts it-and that's all.
 And so has Guerin lent himself heart and soul to the unreal and enchantihg beauty of the land he loves.

A NEW SPEED RECORD.
1t Was Made by a Santa Fe Train
During Run from Los Angeles
to Chicago.

Chicago, July 12.-With every car
blackened by record breaking run
from Los Angeles to Chicago, the
Walter Scott special on the Santa Fe
railroad arrived here at 1854 a. m.
Tuesday. having beaten all previous
records by hours, as we'll as bettering
the special trains own schedule.
Consisting of a baggage car, diner
and private living car. the train which
left Los Angeles at l p. m. Sunday,
came into the Polk street station al
most at top speed, having made the
run of 2,265 miles in A hours and Sc
minutes. This is trifle over % hours
faster than the time of the regular
Santa Fe limited; it is three hours and
four minutes faster than the original
contract called for (Which was AS
hours) and beats even the later sched-
ule of 45 hours by four minutes.
The best previous time for this run
was made by the Peacock special in
1900 in race against DEATH" but the
record of this train by the perform
lnce consummated yesterday is
beaten by seven hours and SO minutes.
Extraordinary time was made east
ward from Dodge City, Kan, where
the train arrived SO minutes late. But
a good roadbed, clear track and expert
work by the engineer and fireman not
only regained the lost time, but beat
the closest and most hopeful calcula-
tion by four minutes.
