Royal Tastes in Dress

During the recent visit of the King
and Queen of England to the engineer
ing and pottery districts many observed
the very practical and sensible styles of
dress worn by her Majesty, Princess
Mary and the King.
On ordinary occasions King George in
variably wears a frocl coat and silk hat.
but the practical side of his Majesty 5
nature dictated lounge jacket as the
most sensible garment for his tours of
inspection through the various work
shops.
The King seems to have set the seal of
approval on the lounge Jacket as the best
work a day garment for the business man
engaged in the manufacturing centers.
Her Majesty generally wore a serge
costume consisting of a short tailor made
jacket and skirt of walking length. The
jacket was of the semi-ftting order and
slightly defined the waist, while both the
jacket and the skirt We're ornamented
with narrow braid and fancy trimming.
The Queens taste seems to be for the
neat and practical rather than the ornate
and elaborate.

they saw there. Mr.. Sutton, who is one
of the youngest yet one of the best in
formed men with the bureau of mines ex-
planned In detail all the workings OF the
car and its equipment.
In Birmingham the car Is generally un-
derstood as No. of the bureau of mines

Mr.. Martin left here and went to Ili-

every way. He said yesterday that speak

A Dainty Toilet Article

3 Every lady who desires to keep up her
attractive appearance, while at theatre,
attending receptions, when shopping,
while travelling and on all occasions
should carry in her purse a booklet of
Couraud's Oriental Beauty Leaves. This
is dainty little booklet of
exquisitely perfumed powdered leaves
which are easily removed and applied
to the skin. 1t is invaluable when the
face becomes moist and flushed and Is
far superior to a powder puff as it does
not spill and soil the clothes.
1t removes dirt, SCOT and grease from
the face. imparting a cool delicate bloom
to the complexion. Put up in white and
pink and sent anywhere on receipt of
10 cents in stamp or coin. r. T. Hopkins,

would be sent to Birmingham this sum-

the car which is here at this time. He
said that no definite date had been Sc

Adams Pleased With Birmingham

Thomas X. Adams, president of the
Mine Inspectors institute, was very much
amazed to see such beautiful residential
section in this district which he says
has accomplished wonders for such a
young place. He was taken over the city
In the party that was specially arranged
and was highly enthusiastic yesterday
over what was shown him..
"The residential sections of Birmingham
are certainly great he said. Il have
seldom seem so many beautiful homes
They are costly and elegant in every
way. 1t is surprising to me that such a
city as Birmingham could grow up In
such a short space of time. The whole
south, however, has displayed remark
able growth during the past few years
so it should not be surprising that Bir-
mingham has grown so wonderfully.
