NOTES HERE AND THERE

With the horse show and the races the horsey set is quite in it's element De- tober the hunting month of the year in the south, seems most appropriate for these events, and the bright weather has given encouragement to the promoters of the horse show and to the fair manage ment who have arranged programme of racing for each afternoon this week.
 The horse show arrangements 9"e tenn porary, but the eliptical circle, even with the present crude arrangements, is more satisfactory than any preceding arrange ment for the horse shows when the boxes were arranged on only one side of the tanbark. The present arrangements or the boxes and seats back of them en- able the spectators to command a me view of the tanbark, and the special ef- fort has been made by the horse show management to provide sufficient light which is even more important than any other feature of the horse show.
 Birmingham has grown quite accustom- ed to horse shows and instead of compar- ing the horse show with those held In Madison Square Garden, society now hoids up as it's standards the preceding events in Birmingham and to the nrst horse show held in this city several years ago
 As regards dress at the horse snow the costumes have been noticeaDy qulel in coloring as more suitable than the more elaborate toilet. or when the hand some gown has been worn, 1t has been completely concealed by the fashionable long cloak.
 Informal parties for the horse show followed by the supper parties at the club have been made up almost at the last moment of the show and many oi the patronesses have shown their interest in the horse show. A full account or the opening night of the show appears else where in this paper.

 Although there are a great many wom- on who are devoted to the cause of char ity there are not many who have proved their interest in the way Mrs o. T. Holt of Houston, Tex. has. Mrs. Holt who is a woman of great beauty and consid- erable wealth, is perhaps the most prom inant aeure in Houston society She keeps in close touch with local charities and devotes much of her time to them. Not long ago she asked George II. Me Fadden of the big cotton firm of McFad- den Brothers to contribute to a fund for a childrens home. He laughingly said "Tll give you s1OO if -ou will pick a hundred pounds of cotton" I'll do it." said Mrs. Holt. A few days later she went up to a plantation owned by her brother in Burleson county, donned appropriate attire, took a cotton sack and in one day filled it with cotton. Her hands were badly scratched and she was more tired than any of her balls or re- captions had ever made her, but she was happy She had earned $100 for her be- loved charity.
