 'Why, we haven't even been able to contribute to the band concerts" said Mrs. Hanson. q have a letter now from the head of one of the big firms In Birming- ham in which the request is made that we call upon him for a donation. Now, isn't that nice? We are making personal requests from everybody who can afford it, to give us whatever they can-matters not how small the amount. Our efficient treasurer for the band concert fund.- Mrs. Barnes Morgan, has made quite a pleas ing innovation in the matter of organ izing lot of the boys into sort of Boy Scout association to look after things in the parks and see that there is no vandalism. They are to wear the club colors and act as advance guard in mak- ing the concert a success
 One thing that has pleased us greatly" continued Mrs. Hanson, Ifs the manner in which the park commissioners have shown their approval of our work.

MRS. DALE SHELTON
 HOSTESS AT RIrFFET SHIPPER

The climax Of the pre-nuptal affairs to honor Miss Gillespie and MT Towne was the buffet supper last evening at the home. of MT. and Mrs Dale Shelton. at Glen Iris. Mrs. Shelton is to be Miss Gillespie's matron of honor and she chose this very charming way to pay her a last courtesy before her departure to make her home in Boston. MT. and Mrs. Shell tons guests joined them after the we'd ding rehearsal and the pretty residence threw out bright welcome of light and flowers as they approached it. In each of the reception rooms were palms and ferns which gave festive air to the graceful apartments. In the dining room the ca terer had arranged a beautiful table. The center was a large mound of yellow roses and from above depended num- Der of quaint little love gods. A supper in several courses was served to the guests and throughout the evening the music of an orchestra added to the gave ty of the party.
 Mrs. Shelton was an attractive hostess in coral evening gown made with an overdrapery of jewelled marquisette. Miss Gillespie was looking her loveliest in q picturesque white satin robe with overdress of rare lace-a creation whose richness and quaint charm suggested a bride of other days, and whose story re- veals that 1t was the costume worn by her mother at her marriage over 20 years ago. In the photograph of Mis- Gillespie ap- bearing in The Age-Herald this morning she is waring this gown.
 Those who enjoyed MT. and Mrs. Shel- toms hospitality last evening were MT and Mrs. R. M. Goodall, Miss Leta Will Goldsmith, Miss Mary Tardy, Mrs. Towne

In the center of the table was a sumptuous cluster of daisies, while from the chandelier on which many daisies were massed to the four corners were drawn festoons of tulle.

LEGISLATION AND LABOR
By sAyOYARD

There is no doubt about it at all. But in the main it is a good trust, and not even
 Congress dare lay its hand on gonl
 trust in rebuke. I believe tiiaf the lapr5,
 trust would dominate this country if it
 would reform itself. All this quarrel about eight-hour day is >puerile What Is necessary, what must come, is that the wage of labor shall be regulated by the piece and not by the hour: by the ex- oelence of the workmanship and not by the time devoted to it.
 There is your solution of the labor problem. That will make union labor in- vlncible and that will make a labor strike impossible. but in truth under the hour system there Is a slavery of labor. and that makes the walking delegate a magnate and a boss. When labor enan- cipates itself from the hour system and adopts the merit system it will be free and not till then: and then it will rule.
 But Berger would not agree to that. It might put his political party out of job Certainly it would deprive of their pres- ent high positions many labor uagnates now unacquainted with toll. Why not work by the piece? And none of them will give you other answer but that 1t is It is practicable If they will set about it, and it is the one solu- tion of the Labor Problem"
