NtbSS mass
 To celebrate her 18th birthday anni- versary Miss Jeanetta Hass yesterday entertained at her home on South Mo- Donough Street, about thirty young misses with an April Foof' party For two hours there was a merry scene as game after game was played and the winners of each was awarded Ia prize, appropriate to the occasion, which greatly added to the merriment Then a Cake Walk" followed. Miss
 Estelle Meyer carried off the honors and was awarded a handsomely iced cake which she generously offered to share with the others. When the cake was cut 1t was found to be filled with cotton, and little Miss Estelle's good intentions gang a'glee." After the
 cake walk the young hostess invited her guests to a banquet. But what
 was their amazement when they found
 each viand to be Of the April fool" variety. There were walnuts with ker- nels extracted, raw vegetables and
 lot of other inedible things.
 To counteract their disappointment
 genuine banquet was next put on and scene changed. After discussing all the good things each girl was giv-
 en ribbon which led to Jack Hor-
 ner" pie, placed in the centre of the
 table, and each pulled out a plum" consisting of a handsome souvenir.
 At 6:30 the party broke up and the
 happy little ones wended their ways

WATER THE TREES

Attention is again called to the sub ject of watering the trees on the side- walks b yeach citizen on whose side walk the city has planted them.
 In private planting one end of sec tion of pipe is often buried with the tree. the other end being above ground, so that water can be poured to the very roots."
 In some instances mulching with straw or leaves is employed to enable the soil better to retain moisture. Blackberry or sugarberry trees. na- lives of Alabama forests, make beautf- full shade trees. By placing orders now, shapely young trees can be se- lected and can be marked. ready for removal and transplanting next Tall; while. If unmarked. the selection can not be made with the same probability of superIative excellence of choice
 By placing orders with neighboring farmers we may encourage country industry, while improving the city. Give fools their gold, and knaves
 their power;
 Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall: Who sows a field. or trains flower. Or plants a tree is more than all. For he who blesses most is blest;
 And. God and man shall own his
 worth
 Who tolls to leave as his bequest
 An added beauty to the earth"
