happiness with the work that she and her co-workers are doing, she stopped to chat with me a lew minutes about the plans Of the Bazar which opens on next Tues day.
 Mrs. Johnson has assumed the impor- tant position of General Chairman of the Doll Bazaar and with her accustomed grace and charm has presided In the most gra- cious manner, and to her and her con federates, the most unstinted praise be7 longs, for the tedious details which they have worked out and the excellent man ner in which everything has been ar ranged.
 '.1 ne Children's Hospital in the first place." said Mrs. Johnson, lis a charity that appeals to everybody, regardless Of creed or denomination, for are we not told, a little Ghild Shall Lead them 2 I've just been over to the Hospital. by the way, and visit there would touch the hardest heart that has ever been in any human beings body. The dear little crip- pied, deformed children who are there are enough to make any woman work her fingers off if she thought by so doing she could add one bit to their comfort It is a happy little crowd, though, in spite of suffering and disease, and a glimpse of Little oscar or the dear little twin girls would arouse all the tenderness and sweetness in the most phlegmatic nature. .
 And your plans for the Doll Bazar are in proportion to your interest in the Hos pital,' suggested.
 We think that we have arranged a very attractive Bazar and how could 1t fail with such women as Mrs C. II. Nabb. Mrs w. B. Leedy and all my other splen- did associates at the head of It? Mrs. Nabb has worked like a Trojan for the Bazar and her interest in the Bazar has done so much toward making it sue cess"
 Tn addition to every sort of doll that anybody could want-from rag doll to the handsomest of French dolls" Mrs. Johnson continued, i've will have the prettiest sort of Aprons and Boudoir Caps and all sorts of Fancy articles on sale. You know there is nothing so fascinating as pretty girl with a suacy apron on. In fact, when everything else fails, if a girl will only don an apron. she can make an impression on nearly any man she wants to-"
 And some girls are born pretty-while others wear breakfast caps l suggested.
 Exactly, and we will have everything in that line made of the daintiest ma terials, ribbons and laces, and by the most dextrous fingers" said Mrs Johnson. How will the dolls and other things be displayed?1 | asked.
 Mrs. Leedy's idea has been to make the Bazar sort of an indoor Al F'resco af- fair, converting the rooms into beautifully decorated gardens with Christmas colors predominating red and green and quanti. ties of tinse and mistletoe and Holly. A sort of Promenade will be arranged, and the dolls will be displayed in this way"
 What other attractions will there be?'' 1 asked.
 We will have Doll Wedding arranged for the little tots during the Bazar," Mrs. Johnson told me- and all sorts of novel; ties that we mean to announce from day to day. We hope to realize enough from l the Bazar to maintain the Holy Innocents Hospital through the coming year. Per sonally, 1 have always thought that there should be Pay Ward to the Hospital but the plan has been to make it abso-
 lutely free. Of course, the sentimental side of 1t is the most appealing, but tc make the Hospital success the practical side should be looked at first. Do yor know. there isn't a place in this town fci instance, where child with contagious | disease can be taken for treatment That's another thing we'd like to remedy
 Wed like to establish Contagious Wart at the Hospital. We are all working witt the aim in view of making the Holy Inno-
 cents Hospital an institution of grea | credit to- Birmingham and a place ol beauty and comfort. for the poor littl, children who need the attention and car, | of efficient nurses and physicians"
