CONCERNING TACT.

If women could only realize the value of tact how few feminine enemies there would be marked up against them.
 Tact, is that quality of courtesy, consld- eration and common sense which. forbids a thoughtful person from mentioning rope in a family where there has been a hanging.
 An illustration of this woeful gone ness" in that particular portion of the brain which should be occupied by the grey matter labeled tact was displayed for the edification of a few male friends of two young ladies several days ago which Is worthy of mention.
 The lady who lacked tact was greeting a friend-a very dear friend, if one could judge from a woman's greeting. The lady who was to be the victim ap- peared clad in a costume of becoming brown. As she stepped in the room the two gentlemen commented in a kindly, hattering way and the woman minus the tact exclaimed:
 "Oh, yes, dear, it is such a pretty dress. You know plum Is to be the color this year!'
 And the young woman in brown like the brave girl she was, smiled sweetly, to all appearances deaf to the terrible suggestion contained In the others word which proclaimed-even while cooing a brown was very passee

woMAN,s WORK AT THE FAIR.

The buildings on the grounds at Fair view are nearing completion. Already the executive offices have been moved, anu everything will be pushed to readiness by October 2S Space has been oiVioeu and much of it has been taken py the business houses of the city. Exhlplt Haii oeenpies a very desirable location on the ground. and from the upper story "inoow a beautiful landscape view IS preselleu'
 The country seems a mass of green en- closed by the chain of Red mountain Here and there are lovely cottage homes' With orchards. truck farms and market gar dens. and the breeaes wait the pure coun- fry air all the way through the spacious buildings. The color scheme of the eh- tire building will be green and "hl1e' which will pervade the woman's exhibit The length of the hall will be 2OO teet' and the work of the women will fill the entire length on one side of the upper story.
 The premium list will include all classes of woman's handiwork.
 This entire department will speak TOT the industrious women of Alabama who are preparing their exhibits not alone for the prize money offered, but an In terest in all enterprises for public ad- vancement. That the feature Is eduea- tlonal there is no doubt; the woman who does the best needle work displays her art. giving new ideas for copy. In the cooking department much of the ma terial prepared will be gathered from home orchards and gardens, and the housekeeper who cans her vegetables ana fruits from her domestic garden teels just pride in her success and sends 1t 10 the fair as a stimulus to others, who Tn turn double their efforts to have their ar tieles among the best next year. Good cooking is the essential feature of sue cessful housekeeping. Variety is sec ondary consideration. That there is de- sire to cultivate this art is evident by the special premiums offered by the busi- ness men.
 The buildings will be ready to receive exhibits the week before the fair opens' on October 23. Persons exhibiting will be asked to bring their articles, with the exception of breads and cakes, beginning the early part of the week before the oDening.

VOTING
ON BONDS
MONDAY
Voting TO Build Does not Bind
City to Any Particular
Material for Bridges

Next Monday will occur the first
election under our present charter for
pnblic improvements. 1t will be to
1suthorize bonding for the construction
Of seven permanent bridges. This is
n step in the right direction. 1t is a
case OF submitting to the people a ques-
tisn Of vital importance, and thus,
whom IL is settled, IL will be settled
correctly and for all time. The char
ter requires that, in submitting a prop.
osition Of this kind, the city shall
hrst secure plans, specifications and es-
tinRtes Of the work required. This
has all been done, and the whole mat
ter Is now CUP for the people to decide.
The fact that the plans and specif'
cations have been secured for one par.
tioular kind of work will not prevent
ahe city from receiving bids on any
other style of bridges, and eventually
making changes in the character of the
saaterial to be used. In other words,
after authority has been given by the
people, bids will be received on steel
bridges, concrete bridges, stone work
and combinations Of materials of per
msnent character. Then the city au'
thorities can sift out to its own sat
iafaction and adopt what IL considers
the best for the money, in the true I'M
eerest of the city. Nobody can take ex'
eeptions TO this method of procedure,
