UNDERWOOD DINNER CARDS
 WORK OF LOCAL ARTIST

The dinner cards which were much admired last evening at the banquet given in compliment to Mir. Underwood were the work of a local artist, Mrs Clara Tardy Gresham. They represented Birmingham in miniature and the pie tured conceptions of the furnaces, Highland avenue, detail sketches of Five Points and of other well known spots about town were so attractively produced as to inspire the most pa- triotic fervor in the hearts of the Ala bamians who received them. The 200 cards were but rarely duplicated and each was charming little picture, the aggregate representing Birmingham in miniature.

 boys and girls to attend. The party went off beautifully. The lights and the fun and the glare and the glitter excited the little crippled girl so that she scarce
 ly realized at tho time that all her little friends were so much prettier (as
 she thoughD than she was, and that their clothes looked so lovely on them
 while hers looked so plain. Afterward
 she was misera ble about it all. It was at this juncture that the nurse began to tell
 wonderful little pink lies. She told out of her own imagination what each little gir! and boy at the party had said about
 the little crippled girl. She even went
 further and told how and when they
 had said it. One boy had said the little
 crippled girl had wonderful hair, and a little girl friend said she wished she had

THE CRECHE

THE CRECHE
 To those who have visited the Mercy Home and who know, by personal con- tact, the conditions prevailing in this refuge for the poor children of Birming- ham, the first chill dark days of Novem- Der make a potent appeal in their behalf. If all of Birmingham's children could but take a peep into this big institution and see the tiny tots contentedly at play and the larger ones busy and happy in their school work, it would give them a splen- did philosophy of life For 1t has required so infinitely little to make the Mercy Home children happy. They are little waifs who have been gathered in out of present as gloomy and sad as was yes- terday and presented. with a future of bright usefulness.
 Nowhere can be found brighter, happier, healthier little company. There are more than so children, ranging from the infant in arms to the girl in her teens. Their needs of clothing, shoes, school books, blankets and other comforts is supplied by the Creche, and as annually at this season the society Is asking help through this department of The Age-Herald. The public is gen erously responding, but less than half of the desired sum has been donated. 1t is earnestly requested that contribu- tions be sent in within the next few days, and that the Creche be remem- bered in the annual Thanksgiving of fering. Many of the donations come from the children. A dollar is the popular sum and it must be remem- bered that a dollar will go so far in the judicious purchase of simple neces- sities
 Many demands are taxing the chari- tably inclined people of Birmingham this winter. This is a fact recognized by the women of the Creche There are daily requests for aid from organiza- tions so worthy that following ones benevolent wishes would tax the pocket book of a Standard oil magnate. The of the money set aside for charity this Thanksgiving.
 If the influence of such an institution as the Mercy Home had needed a test, it has been tried and proven through its 20 years of existence and the record of success which has been made by its early beneficiaries. A visitor in the home asked of bright little trio who dwelt there 20 years ago to receive the news that the boy Is now a successful young man in the employ of a large local manufacturing plant. Of two sis- ters 1t was learned that one is a book keeper, is still a resident of Birming- ham, a well paid employe of firm in which she Is considered a valuable as- set; the other is happily married and living in a Tennessee city. It is possi- bly, one of the things which keeps dear Mrs Ramsey, the matron, so young in heart and mind that she can see these youths of fine ideals and bright prom ise knowing that many of their noblest impulses were inspired and shaped by her.
