York World is handsome young wom-
an whose father was Colonel Nicholas
Smith and whose grandfather was Hor-
ace Greeley, the father of the Ameri-
can newspaper editorial. Miss Gree
ley-Smiths mother was Horace Gree

the names Of her father and grandfa-
ther are blended. She has special fea-
fure assignments on the World. While
her grandfather was noted for his pow
erful journalism, Nixola's father, Mich
elias Smith, was noted Tor his beauty,
which he himself enjoyed quite as
much as anybody else. When only
twelve years old Miss "Nixie" wrote a
play called "The Lady Killer" which
really was not bad She has also a
gift for poetry writing as well as
prose.

A SMART TAN COSTUME.

particularly smart. Some of the best
models have neat rolled collars and
cuffs of braided pastel cloth.
Buttons are to be conspicuously used
on winter costumes, and some of the
handsomest specimens are veritable
works of art. Carved mother-of-pearl,
tortoise shell and enameled examples
are to be found in the shops.

Buttons on the new costumes are ar
ranged in groups in the smaller sizes
and singly when the buttons are large
and handsome.
Parisians are very partial to tans
and yellow shades this season, and the
costume illustrated is charming

fashions. The material is u pale tan
bedford cord. The skirt Is made with
box plaits and panels of pinched up
vertical tucks. The little short wasted
jacket is of chestnut broadcloth. with
vest and collar of the tan. Gold but
tons are used.

COLD WEATHER FASHIONS.
Some of the New Ideas In Furs and
seasonabIe Millinery.

SoHe VI tht NtN iutNS III uhu
seasonnbIe Millinery.
Just at the present moment women
are wearing pretty tailor made suits
while waiting for the days when furs
will be necessary. A few have put
theirs furs on-that is to say, the
small ties and short shoulder pieces
but muffs will not be needed for some
weeks to come. When they do they
will be large, fiat and generally un-
graceful, but they are in some ways
desirable above the smaller and dain-
tier ones of year or so ago, for these
come well up to the elbows and thus
keep the arms warm in place of the
sleeves. Women are queer and ire
sponsible creatures, after all, for just
when they need the extra warmth of
long sleeves, behold, they cut them
off ut the elbow and depend on muffs.
True, the gloves are made with d.
rect bearing on the short sleeve. They
reach even above the bend of the arm
and do almost keep that member from
freezing, but it needs the muff to sup
ply the necessary amount of caloric.
The gloves for wearing with the pretty
short coats and pony jackets, the blouse
coats, the jaunty bolero REFERS, the
handsome long rain coats and the long
loose coat now so much in evidence are
made of heavy dogskn, tan, brown
and in fact all the seasons colors.
Biarritz gloves in black and white are
handsome in the stitching, being mar
row and fine rather than bunchy, as
heretofore. There are thick doeskin
gloves for autoing, made with straps
and buckles.
Among the new dress goods | see
much navy and black storm serge,
heavy and with the same crisp feel
that serges had when they were in
style some fifteen years ago. Serge has
always been worn more or less as 1t
is standard stuff, but it is fashionable
now, which it was not for long time.
1t is wide and made in many dark col
ors and black. Voiles, black and In
colors, are among the newest goods,
and now they are woven so that they
do not sag in wearing. That made
them unsatisfactory material in spite
of their beauty. Made up over slips Of
the home taffeta silk, they are now sat
isfactory. The French and English
mesh voiles plated over slips of lus-
trous taffeta make dresses greatly to
be desired
Some Of the most desirable suits are
made of the neat and pretty two toned
or hair lined stripes or the shadow
plaids, all in delicate shades of light

from New York editors. One of these
is Miss Dorothy Richardson of the Her
aid. She was born in western Penn
sylvania and began to earn her own
living when she was sixteen. First
she was a stenOgrapher. Then came
the desire and determination to become
newspaper writer. SAe has warm,
quick sympathies and vivid magma
ton. From Pennsylvania she went to
New York city in search of employ
ment. Her experiences in this line
were so hard and bitter that they turned
her thought toward working girls and
women in general. She investigated
their condition and found this to be in
numerous cases no better than actual
slavery. One of the results of her
awakening on the working girl ques-
tion is her book, "The Long Day"
which sets forth things as they are. 1t
Is well for wage earning women of the
poorer paid class that they have such
champion as Dorothy Richardson.
She believes that a stiff trades union
among working girls would be ex-
tremely helpful in correcting some of
the evils under which they suffer She
also finds great need to be that of
hotels for working girls, places where
for less than So week they may OBJ
tain comfortable home.

Mrs. {. M. Gilner dorothy Dix.

One of the most notable journalists
of either sex in America is Mrs. Eliza
beth Meriwether Gilmer, the humor-
ist, whose non de plume is Dorothy
Dix. She is on the staff of the New
York American. In some of her writ
ings her humor is quite equal to that

OF her sketches in negro dialect and
her dialogues between the bookkeeper
and the stenographer.
Dorothy Dix Is southern woman,
native of Tennessee. Her first news
paper work was done on a paper in
New Orleans. In that city the tai
ented young woman has a home and
lives part of the time. 1t is rare
treat to hear Dorothy Dix read one of
her own stories in negro dialect.

Mother and Daughter In journalism.

Ten years ago there was on the staff
OF the New York Tribune tall, dark
haired, fine looking woman named Mrs.
Zane Pierce. Her speciality, if she had
one, was attending to women's club
meetings and looking after women's
organizations generally. She thus sup
ported herself and a daughter, Made
leine, who was in school. Everybody
liked Mrs. Pierce, who was fair mind
ed and kindly in her newspaper work.
Time went on, and the daughter,
Through her mothers influence, became
secretary to the editor of the Tribune's
woman department. Still more time

working faithfully in their respective
places. Now pretty Madeleine Pierce

The coming week will be an suspicious one. Three great events will take place, l. e., the home-c coming of native Alabam- ians, the Alabama State Fair and the horse show.
 Not only the people in general, but the merchants in particular have made great prepa rations for these occasions. A glance into the windows of the various shops will verify this statement Novelties both domestic and foreign, in every known line are shown, all of them worthy of consideration. And yet. the windows are a very small part of the display shown by these enterprising concerns To really appreciate how up-to-date our city is, visit the interior of the stores.

 The display will consist of nine vehicles manufactured in Birmingham for com mercial purposes. The wagons. etc, will be modern in every way, and it Is claimed will be equal to the best in the country. Many of them will be rubber-tired.
 A feature of the exhibit will be a wagon manufactured by MT. Abel, over fifteen years ago. This vehicle won first prize at the State Fair at that time, and 1t has been in constant use ever since. This speaks well for the quality of materials and workmanship. truly.
 MT. Abel had a similar exhibit at the Fair last year. and captured first honors. He is sanguine of success this year.

The Dry Cleaning Method a Popula

 Owing to the thoroughness of the work dore. this company sprang into immedi- ate prominence, and now, practically con frols this kind of work In the dis trict.
 This company first came to BirmnS- ham from the north less than year ago At that time it occupied a small store adjoining their present location on Nineteenth street So great had been the increase in business that 1t was com pelled to move to large quarters, and there to larger quarters shrdluetaoishrdlupup is now being built an extra story and rear addition to their present location
 That this company has the confidence of the ladies of this city is demonstrated by the large number Of expensive gar ments intrusted to their care. The dry ing room represents a small fortune in ladies' attire, from ostrlch piulnes 10 ex- auisite evening gowns.
 The French Dry Cleaning company has the distinction of being the only dry cleaning company using the original French methods in the state.
 The plant is equipped with the most modern machinery, and runs night and day.
