 1 An attractive feature of the forthconl-
 ing exhibition by the Birmingham Art
 association will be the competitive poster
 show which will open the same day of

 Della Dryer. Patronesses for the ex- hibition will be announced later.
 l The board of managers of the Mercy
 Home will keep open house on Saturday l at the home. Members of the Creche and l of the various committees of the home will be at the home throughout the day | and will extend a cordial welcome to l the friends of the institution. They are l especially anxious for the Mayor and | members of the council, as we'll as the
 members of the board of revenue, to l visit the home on the sixteenth anniver- sary, which will be duly observed on Saturday.
 On these anniversary occasions it has
 been the custom to make donations of linen to the home, but at the present time the building is in need of repairs and the members of the board ask that donations of money be sent instead of articles for the furnishing of the home. There is a great deal of work to be
 done at the home in the way of repairing and repainting, and the board is in need
 of funds to meet these expenses, believing
