Home for a Worthy Woman

I'VE have cool country home. My
wish is to find some worthy, quiet, healthy
woman who would like to help me do light
work, and be company for and wait upon
my mother, who is not well. Some one
needing change from the citys noise
and heat might be willing to come. We
live 90 miles from Kansas City. l will add
my mite: To clean fine sisves or strancrs
which are elogged rub hard with dry soap,
then pour boiling water through them.

We thank you for the housewifely hint
and insert your request in full. II may
catch the eye of a woman who is longing
for change of air and scene. and has rot

One of the most unique and interesting
women who has been in Birmingham re-
Gently is Mrs. Suzanne Rognon Bernard,
who has a national reputation as a "story
teller and story writer.
Working in co-operation with Mr..
Thomas Slator Settle in the Playground
movement, Mrs. Bernardo has already
made her impress upon those associated
with this work. and in addition to this
through the curtesy of that always en-
terprising and public spirited firm, Love-
man, Joseph & Loeb, she has been kindly
granted the use of their large, spacious
Furniture Rooms to gather about her the
children of the city, who want to hear
her recital of experiences throughout the
land, told in her own inimitable manner
On Thursday afternoons of each week
Mrs. Bernardo visits the differnet Play
grounds and the scores of children, as
we'll as the Director of each Playground
have been deeply interested in the work
she is introducing.
On Tuesdays and Fridays of each week
Mrs. Bernardo is at Loveman, Joseph &
Loebs. where from 4:sO to $3.50 in the aft
ernoon the young people meet and are
regaled with her clever stories.
Story telling is an art in class all to
itself.
Kitty Cheatham has made herself be-
loved the world over by her exquisite
recital work for childlren-and when she
appears in New York the IS. r. o." sign
is always in the foyer of the theatre.
Mr.. Charles Washburn is another artist
who combines the art of story telling with
his wonderful musical talent, and his in
fluence on the child mind has been re-
marked in every place throughout the
country in which he has appeared in this
capacity.
Mrs Bernardi-in a way--has different
method from any other story teller.
Her work, except in few instances, has
been absolutely gratis-her love of chill
dren and her interest in them, inspiring
her with a desire to inculcate into the
child mind, the power of expression and
the gift of understanding, by the simple
method of repeating to them the stories
of the classics-thus developing the power
of reproduction.
Alert, enthusiastic, her earnest brown
eyes and her kind, expressive face, give
her an agreeable address, and interest
ing personality and it is not to be Won

MRS. III. f."
II you are a constant reader of the Cor
ner you must have seen the directions for

weeks ago. Upon the chance that you

water and soap, rinse three times, dry and
lay in kerosene for ten minutes, then

them, and dry in the shade Thus treated

With the heat curling the leaves, fading
the flowers and destroying the last vestise
of energy and enthusiasm in the summer
stay-at-homes, 1t is small wonder that the
social barometer is accordingly low.
Yesterday a well known society matron
said: This year / have tried postponing
my usual trip until the heat is over, SO
that 1 may return home feeling fortified
for my winter duties. But believe it is
mistake; next year 1 am going away
somewhere and get cool if I fail to have
a moments pleasure during the winter

this fall, leading in organization work
The local association has secured her
services for a week and she will also
spend a similar period in other cities Of
the state.
Plans for the winter campaign for equal
suffrage indicate that systematic and
thorough canvass will be made at least in
Birmingham, with additional pressure
brought to bear in other localities for the
formation of leagues. Mrs. Hundley, pres

here the work will be carried on accord
