in his notable address, sThe Key to the Twentieth Century" This will be an in i telleetual treat to the Birmingham audi ence. It Is not necessary in any way to introduce pr. Green. He stands at the very front of the American platform He and his work are known wherever there Is an intellectual public.
 During the past six years pr. Green has leetured in every state in the union. He has Just recently completed a IS months tour around the world. Begin ming with the coronation in England, he has visited every capitol. Exceptional opportunities have given him access to places and things impossible to the usual traveller. He has seen and interviewed sovereigns, prime ministers, cabinet of- ficers, governors, ecclesiastics, journalists, revolutionists, students and all people of every sort and kind, in order to obtain facts and to study conditions. Turkey, Palestine, Egypt, India, the Philippines, China and Japan have been the setting of an Oriental tour of wonderful fn- terest.
 Those who have been the delighted listeners to pr. Greens lectures in the past 10 years will know what he now has in store. His new lectures, dealing with present conditions throughout the world, and particularly with our own country as related to twentieth century world concerns, will be to the last mo- ment timely and full of vital interest The Boston Journal, in speaking of this lecture, says: "No one who has heard Dr. Greens lecture will soon forget it. It is a prose ode on patriotism and an exaltation of American destiny, so earn estly, so skillfully, and so magnificently delivered that the audience is again and again lifted to cheers and even waving of handkerchiefs."
 "Dr. Greens power over an audience is unusual His descriptive ability is little short of marvellous. Time and time again during his address one might have heard the proverbial pin drop," so writes the Trenton True American.
 He has been called the most intellectual man on the American platform the Web ster of the West, and the prince or American lecturers, Such praise is not extravagant iattery, but truth. Well known men in public life, such as Ad- miraI Dewey, Governor Wilson, Senator Allison and Richard Mansfield speak in glowing terms of his work For pr. Green is not only a traveller, statesman and orator, but also poet. His voice, diction, thought and manner conspire to make him one of the greatest speakers now in the public eye.

Appeal for Typewriter

'I want to ask a favor in behalf of a friend. This worthy young man is earn ing his way through school in prepara- tion for the ministry.

Thank you for forwarding me Mrs. B. response for the Century, April, 1905. which I asked for. As she lives not far away I telephoned to her and said would call for the magazine.

 Note that the number of the mutilated magazine is that for April, 1905. The writer still covets it for special reasons. Will some one heed the call and compen- sate for the disappointment?
 The Kindergarten manual will be most acceptable to a teacher.

By MYRTLE MILES

Miss Carrie Knox of Anniston, who has been so beautifully entertained as Mrs. Frank Nelson's guest, was the inspira- tion of a lovely tea yesterday afternoon at the Leo Steiner residence on High land avenue Mrs. Steiner arranged the affair with perfect informality, and it was as delightful as her Inequalities all ways are. Mrs. Max Fies and Miss Fern Minor, with Mir Levy's accompaniment, each sang during the tea hour, their sew eral selections adding decidedly to the artistic charm of a very happy event.
 The Steiner residence needs no decora- ton to make its interior very lovely. Aside from clusters of American beauty roses standing at intervals in slender vases one was attempted except in the dining room where the tea table was one of excep- tional beauty and sumptuousness It was enlarged to full length and in the center held a great bowl of yellow chrysan- themums. The candles which surrounded this centerpiece were shaded with yellow, and there were four small bowls of vio- lets to give added richness of color to the autumn decorative motif. On the sideboard were also candles shaded in yellow and gold-toned flowers
 At opposite ends O the table Mrs Syd- ney Johnston Bowie and Mrs. Samuel Ad- Ter poured tea and coffee. Mrs. Adler was very cordial and lovely and appeared in one of the prettiest gowns noted dur ing the afternoon. It was a black and white creation, chiffon and velvet with point lace garniture, effecting an ex- tremely rich ensemble. Mrs. Bowie was unusually pretty, andr her gown most artistic. It was decollette and fashioned of grey charmeuse.
 Mrs Steiner welcomed her guests wear ing becoming costume in the light yell low tint with violet draperies. Miss Knox wore cameo chiffon with crystal draperies. Mrs. Fies, whose music was so much enjoyed, appeared in deep blue panne velvet, and Miss Minor in white satin with an oyerdress of gauge garni- tured with rhinestones. Miss Mena Hol- ger was one of those assisting Mrs. Stein CT to receive Her gown was an artistic creation in pale pink and with train of black velvet Mrs. Frank Nelsons cos tune was fashioned of cloth of gold and crystal embroideres and Miss Rosalie Joseph was one of the girls assisting to receive Her costume was white &C., cordeon pleated chiffon with touches of black, simple girlish and charming. Mrs. Richard Johnston received wearing law ender brocade with lace garnitures and Miss Dorothy Johnson was in black crepe de chine. She was very sweet and pretty as she presided over the punch which was served in the fernery at the rear of the house an attractive nook sur rounded with greenery and flowers. A number of cards were left during the tea hour.

Cards for Shut In

T have a number of cards and inter- esting magazines that would gladly give to any little shut in. also have some sheet music that isn't very up to date that I will give away. I am a little girl on farm and am very fond of litera- ture.
 T should very much like to have some girls books if some one will send me some to help pass away the evenings on the farm. D. K"
 It is a wholesome and an encouraging sign of the mission work of our Helping Hand club that so many children and young folks upon farms and in lonely country neighborhoods read our Corner and join in our labors. The neatly writ ten letter now in hand gives more than the little girl asks. Our junior mem- bers must look to 1t that she has reading convenient for her for the winter.

Dare I intrude in your Corner buy new comfortables and have to cover my old ones. l should be very glad to get quilt pieces of any kind. I have a chance to make some money crocheting different articles and I should like to get some patterns in crochet. Would any one be kind enough to send me instructions for making things for babies caps, booties and jackets? l should like to have a pattern for bedspread, but would be glad of any kind of crochet patterns.
 T will also say that I keep my little niece and have to provide her with every thing, so need money l can make from my work. Her father is dead and her mother is insane I hope you don't think am a professional beggar? I cannot buy patterns and I have several articles to begin as soon as I can procure some.
 M H."
 A long letter, but one which comments itself to us from the opening sentences, embodying the name of the dear helper and true woman who went to her reward some months ago. Her memory is sweet savor in the thoughts of all who wrought with her and knew her works of love and patience, her unvarying compositions for the suffering, and the bountiful hand that dealt relief to the needy. God rest her white soul!
 l have a feeling that she has put seal upon the application of the woman who asks for materials to cover her worn out comfortables and the patterns that will enable her to fill orderssfor work
 May not hope that the feeling will be shared by members of our family emulous to fill the place vacated by our translated saint?

 The usual Birmingham spirit of CO., operation Is making of the bazar a stupendous success The women who agreed to dress dolls have the most fascinating of costumes; upon one en- chanting little pink and white bit of prettiness the clothing alone cost s. and there are others smaller in size and less stately in attire, to be pur- chased for much smaller sums; dolls that will make some small heart very light with the coming of the Yuletide that brought them.
 draperies used in so great profusion is a candy booth, with the sort of can dies that would make Mary Elizabeth herself envious of the skill that could devise anything so delectable. There are few trifies so fascinating as an apron. In the apron booth, running
 the gamut from saucy chafing dish apron and sewing apron to the useful and unlovely cooking and nursery
 
 Iments, and water-color score cards of button babies are among the novelties and useful articles to be had.
 To the dolls ready to wear depart ment you may be directed just as yor

In small glass cases tullc bows for the hair hats and fashionable capes are dis played. and evening coats. sweaters wraps of every type are-hats with plumes and feathers and fur, as modist as can be, are among the extraordinary array of things to tempt any little gir who has doll. A long line of sunbon- nets, hanging above the table suggests the sunbonnet babies, and there are some of the dearest lowered boxes foi the hats.
