SUCCESS OF MRS. REID
IN BIRMINGHAM,

IN BIRMINGHAM.
Those who met Mrs. Reid when she
acted as assistant manager of the
Woman's Department of the Tri-Coun-
ty Fair in Pensacola will be interest
ed in the success she has made as
manager of the Womans Department
In Birmingham. And il may be of as
sistance to those in charge of the
booths at the fair here to learn some
thing of the manner In which the
booths in the wonau's Department
have been made attractive at the Ala
bama State Fair. A Birmingham ex-
change says:
1t is a far cry from this good year
of 1912 back to 1900, when Mrs John
B. Reid first assumed charge of the
woman's department at the state fairs,
held annually in Birmingham.
From year to year this work has
grown under the energetic and intel
ligent management of Mrs Reid, until
the present exhibit has attained to
such gratifying proportions that a pa
triotic pride must be awakened in
the hearts of all citizens of Alabama
who will have the good fortune to
inspect the display of woman's handi-
work gathered from nearly every sec
ton Of the state.
The Importance Of this enterprise
can best be realized when 1t is UNI
derstood that Mrs. Reds services are
now retained by the fair management
for the entire year instead Of for three
or four months, as was at first
done.
This year the woman's department
of the state fair is worth a long jour
ney to see.
The decorations in the exposition
hall, around the balcony and depend
ing from the ceiling are chiefly In
blue and gold bunting, with blue and
gold remnants emphasizing the color
scheme. Intermingling with these are
crimson and white banners hanging
from the rafters.
Around the balcony on three sides
are numberIess booths beautifully
adorned with draperies and flowers.
Covering some Of these are grace
full purple wistaria blossoms, blue
and pink morning glories, crimson
poppies, pink, yellow and red roses,
and carnations in varying tints.
Mrs. Reds office is adorned with
handsome yellow pumpkin blooms in
keeping with the decorations.
There is one singularly beautiful
booth among the many attractive
ones, which suggests La France and
Killarney roses in its pink loneliness.
The ceiling and walls are done in a
soft shade Of pink with wreaths OF
pink roses, caught at intervals with
sprays of snilax outlining the freize
and separating the dado from the
central wall.
Vases of pink roses and jardi-
nieres of asparagus ferns add to the
artistic effect. Specimens Of embroid

handiwork together with all kinds Of
cakes, preserves, jellies and breads, in

JUST ANOTHER WORD
ABOUT The FAIR.

Again and again and yet again, we
have been asked to impress upon those
who are going to make exhibits at the
Interstate Fair to get those exhibits
in early. The earlier the better for all
concerned.
The price of an entry ticket is one
dollar, and for this fee one may enter
one or any number of articles in the
Woman's Department-with the ex-
ception of poultry. Poultry is entered
under other rules than those which
govern the Womap's Department.
One word more about the flowers.
For fear you may have overlooked
other notices about this department,
we are asked to say that the flowers
are to be in charge of Mrs. Nellie
Jeraulds. of Camp Walton, one Of the
most expert botanists and greatest
flower lovers in this section of the
country, and a woman who has given
years to the study Of the flora Of
Florida. Mrs. Jeraulds, at her Camp
Walton home, has some Of the rarest
plants in the south and she is well
prepared, through her knowledge and
her interest to take every care of even
the rarest plants, and no one need fear
to place flowers in her charge. She
will give them her own personal SUI
pervision and will be at the fair con-
stantly in order to care for and make
a. success of the floral exhibit, which is
to be one of the most important fea-
lures of the Woman's Department.
Miss Caldwell Is at the Fair Office
in the Blount building every day now,

the afternoon, and you are cordially
invited to call on her and she will as

Another very striking and hand
some booth is that OF the Equal
Suffrage League, which is constantly
crowded with visitors eager to gain
Information regarding this rapidly in
creasing phase Of political sentiment.
The suffrage booth is decorated Law
ishly with yellow bunting and pen
nants while vases of golden rod &C
centuate the league color. Very ar
tistic posters representing the appeals
being made to public opinion, are
effectively hung in the booths, while
at each entrance is placed a ballot
box, above which is this legend in
large black letters on a white back
ground: Cast Your Vote Here For
Woman's Suffrage in Alabama" Lit-
erature, buttons and appealing pic
lures are being distributed to visitors
each day.

THE SWING OF
THE PENDULUM,

The return of society girls and ma
irons from the summer resorts, the re-
opening of the schools, the beginning
of the theatre season, and the move
ment among the clubs for reorganiza-
ton, have all made a stir in the life
that had become almost stagnant with
the close of the summer season.
And now that the dates of the COM
ing of the battIeship fleet have been
definitely decided upon, society will
waken in earnest, for there is nothing
that adds so much TO the hrilliancy of
a. winter here as the coming Of the
battleships with the attendant festiVi-
ties.
November promises to be a gay
month. anyhow, for several weddings
and the coming out parties of the
debutantes probably to take place in
November and early December, will
| make the month one Of unusual social
! Importance, and with the additional
pleasures that will follow in the wake
of the coming of the second division to
these waters, the month will be gay
| indeed.
| The four battleships OF the second
division of the Atlantic fleet will be
| in the harbor. These are the flagship
| Louisiana, and the Kansas, South
| Carolina and Vermont.
| Little Is going on now in society, for
those who have been away are adjust
! ing themselves to the home coming,
and all, both those who have been at
northern summer resorts and the
stay at homes, are spending much
time with dressrnakers, and on shop
ping tours. getting in readiness for
the early winter season.
Several of the clubs have already
held their first meetings of the fall,
and most of the others convene very
soon.
1t will not be long now before all
the organizations for women will re-
sumo the regular meetings, for already
the pendulum has been set in motion,
and each day sees time flying more
swiftly, and social activities assuming
a more interesting aspect.

IN MEMORY OF ONE OF

the world had lost one of Natures

with his great heart and generous ma

WHAT ONE
WOMAN DID,


With only 500 capital, a young
woman started a gift shop in town
of $4,000 about twenty-five miles
from New York city. She started out
with about SO articles. for which she
spent $50. These articles were most
~ of brass, and she cleaned them and
sold them at nice profit. The fol-
lowing card announced the opening
of her shop:
Visit my little gift shop at 81 Main
street. Ideas freely furnished for ap-
propriate presents. Original and suit
able gifts from 10 cents to $40. Open
ing day, the 18th. Thirty -four Main
street, at The Sign of the Many Hap
Ply Returns Shop"
She kept only two or three articles
in her window. but changed 1t every
morning. She very soon had a reserve
stock and changed it every day or so,
and as people began to know and de-
pend upon the little shop they
dropped in oftener on account of run
ming across old and unusual things.
At the end of three months she had
in stock about $50 pieces, and almost
$40 in the savings box, and her living
had been paid for. She does her own
work early in the morning, keeps her
little store spotless and has now a
young woman clerk at IS a week, who
embroiders to order and gets a per-
centage on what she sells of her own
work. She is then able to go fire.
quentIy to New York, but is always
back ready for duty at 1 o'clock, and
keeps the little place open until in
the evening. She can rest and read In
her own room in the back part of
her store, which is comfortable and
convenient, and has her dinner sent
in from a near by restaurant.
