leaves the bed linen and clothes, If the case requires it, and that means another expenditure of money. Last year we were very fortunate in replenishing our linen and other bed clothing. After the Con federate reunion we bought lot of the sheets blankets, pillow cases and other things at great advantage. In fact, we purchased the sheets at 10 cents apiece and the blankets we bought for 25 cents each, and in that way we were very lucky"
 .'Do you find that one nurse can meet all the demands?' I asked. Tn the case of infectious and contagious diseases, for instance?'
 "Oh," was the ready response, that al- ways means the employment of another nurse. Of course our nurse could not come and go from such cases, and so We employ another nurse. And having to employ another one increases our expen- ses greatly, as you can well imagine. 1t is really very puzzling sometimes to know just how the expenses will be met And is that how the charity ball hap pened to suggest itself as means of raising money for this cause?' l inquired. Yes" replied my informant Tt was an inspiration in a way. Every city the size of Birmingham has an annual charity ball, and d number of the members of the auxiliary thought 1t an excellent plan for this work"
 And so, from the inspiration of a few noble hearted generous women, whose hearts are attuned to the love of their fellowbeings, who are less fortunate than themselves, emanated the charity ball, which Is destined to be and is one of the most magnanimous and worthy enter prises from a charitable standpoint as well as from a social point of view. that Birmingham has ever stood sponsor to, and undoubtedly has resolved itself into an institution in which Birmingham feels justly proud.

City Beautiful.

FrOm the nedQQudItSiS oA tAiO Sity bSe~N tiful movement come the following help full suggestions for the culture of the gar den which may be grown in window boxes:
 box containing nothing but compar- attvely tall-growing plants Is not at tractive; it must contain low-growing kinds for edgings, and also trailing varie- ties-Kenilworth ivy, wandering Jew and little pickles (othonna crassifolia9 will help to make the box beautiful; all these plants have a more or less trailing habit the growth being from six inches to two feet.
 For sunny places there are many plants from which to choose Do you want vines? Nothing will give more satfsfac- tion than nasturtiums; morning glories are equally good, but the blossoms have no value as out flowers Another inter- esting vine is the cobaea, which has curious cup and saucer flowers. These vines either may be trained over the win dows or allowed to fall over the sides of the box. The standbys in window-box gardening are geraniums, petunias. the ooleus, the heliotrope and verbenas, to- gether with the variegated periwtnlre. All of these plants give mass of color throughout the summer.
 Any one of the bedding plants will make a good display in window box. but they should be set closer together than in the garden, for they will never mako the same amount of growth that they would in the open ground. Eight inches apart will be none too close.
 No great skill is needed to arrange plants in a box. A good combination Is found in the use of geraniums, with the variegated periwinkle to trail over the front of the box. Color may be added by sowing few seed of nasturitiums. When a low growing plant Is desired, Lantana Delicatissima may be used. This Is a prostrate form and really a trailer.
 As a rule. should use only two kinds of plants in a box-a tall kind, such as geraniums, and trailer, like the vare- gated periwinkle or the climbing nasturi- tum. For edgings, where one does not want a trailer, little dwarf geranium like Madame Salleroi or Mountain of Snow will prove excellent, the variegated foliage being attractive all sumner; they do not flower The dwarf Towering plants that may be used for edgings are sweet alyssum, dwarf lobelia, and candy tuft.
 Long before the summer Is over, the soil will need enriching. The best plan Is to use liquid fertilizer, which may be made from stable manure or from com mercial fertilizer bought from the florist or seed man. In any case, be sure that the liquld manure does not touch the plant.
 If the flower box is placed in the win dow, where there is any chance for 1t to drop down on the heads of passersby. one must be sure that 1t is fastened securely enough to withstand the hardest storms; for not only would the owner not like to run the risk of injuring pedestrians, but in some cities there Is a law in regard to this matter.
