MRS. JAMES S. M,LEsTER.

MRS. JAMES S. M'LESTER.
 Questioning Mrs. James $. McLester on the subject, she said:
 'Of course, we are very fortunate in Mountain Terrace because we do not have the dust that the city folk have. In fact, We are situated so high above the dust and smoke that we get very little dust from the streets-prac6callyn none, except the natural amount that everybody gets. I think the roads in the east, especially through New Jersey, are the most delight ful l have ever seen, because they are oiled and in beautiful condition always. It occurs to me that it would be a good idea for those who are in charge of the matter to try oiling our streets. With us in Mountain Terrace we feel the greatest difference in the air when we leave the city, because it is so free of dust. There is sort of a country feel in it, so to speak, and we are usually not very much both cred with the dust"
 MRS. JOHN w. SHELBY.
 Mrs. John W. Sibley, whose attractive home is at the corner of Highland ave- nue and Beach street, one of the most fashionable thoroughfares on the High lands, said:
 "The dust problem is one that should be taken up seriously and fought out until conditions are better in Birmingham. It would make housekeeping much easier
 
 much more enjoyable, even in the streets, as well cared for and as beautifully paved as Highland avenue. Living on a corner as prominent as the one We live on, and one that is as much travelled. we get more than our share of dust. My curtains and rugs have to be gone over every week with the vacuum cleaner and many times during each season I have | them laundered. and between times l have them taken down and the dust beaten out of them think that property owners would willingly be taxed-that is I a reasonable amount to have the streets l sprinkled. although I think if they were oiled it would be much better I have visited a great deal in the east and last year I was at Ardmore, beautiful sub urb of Philadelphia, where I stayed fol several weeks. The streets are all oiled there and in going over the eight-mil, drive into Philadelphia it was perfectl, delightful simply because of the excel ] lent condition of the road I drove ove | several of the handsome estates neal l there-that of George W. Childs: also Oti 1 skinner, and the Lippincott's, and the, use oil entirely. l think it would be al | excellent idea for Birmingham to try oi instead of water for allaying the dust.

believe the use of oil would greatly ex- ceed that of sprinkling, that is if sprink- ling was done sufficiently. The streets I'm told, in Los Angeles and other cities of California are only oiled once month which is quite sufficient to keep them in good condition. The streets there are the most beautiful I ever saw, and entire ly clear of dust and 1t makes it a per- feet delight to walk or drive. Your clothes are not spoiled by the dust, your eyes and ears are not filled with it, and your face is clean and presentable even after a long ride I fancy that the experiment might be tried here, and 1 don't doubt it's good results"
 MRS. GROOM BEATTY.
 Over in Norwood, especially on the thoroughfares where so many motorists enjoy the wide. beautiful streets there is always the problem of dust to contend with and Mrs. Groom Beatty, who has one of the handsomest homes in that sec tion. said in answer to my question con corning the elimination of dust:
 q find it one of the most difficult things I have to contend with in my housekeeping. It makes Birmingham a very, very expensive place to live in, for more than one reason. To begin with, it practically requires two sets of fur nishings for house. The draperies and curtains that I use in the summer 1
  do you know that many times have had curtains laundered three or fours days after l had put them up in the summer? My rugs suffer as badly from the dust as the curtains.

BILLIARD SOCIETY

Friday was a pretty day for outdoor exercise, but the IIilliard Literary so- cieyt was well attended in spite of this fact. The programme included a number of essays one on Criticism" by joseph Rush; an essay on Debate" by Will Davis.

The club was hon ored by visit from two former IIilliard members-Irvin Kinney and Solomon Car den. On account of the withdrawal of the third member of the press commit tee Ioula Loveless was elected to fill the vacant office. After few other matters of minor importance the meeting ad- journed.

 Personal Notes
EVENTS OF THE DAY
By MYRTLE MILES.

A charming tribute to Mrs. Soon Jaeops of this city appeared yesterday in the Nashville Tennessean. Like other south- ern cities, Nashville manifested keen interest in the meeting this week of the national executive board of suffragists which was held in this city. The Tennes- sean American. in commenting upon the meeting, stated:
 Mrs. D. Terry Kimbrough vice presi- dent of the Nashville Equal Suffrage league, returned yesterday from Birming- ham, where she went to represent the Nashville league in the absence of the president, Mrs. Gulford Dudley, at the meeting of the southern conference of the national executive board of womans sui frage. Mrs. Kimbrough is earnestly en- thusiastic over the meeting, it's results and the zealous purpose of the many dis tinguished equal suffrage leaders that it was her pleasure to meet
 Mrs. Kimbrough has gathered many in- teresting and beneficial points and talks entertainingly of the meeting. Too much praise cannot be given Mrs Solon Jacobs state president of Alabama Equal Suf- frage league, formerly Miss Rattle Ruff ner of this city. who arranged the con- ference, and through whose influence the distinguished suffragists appeared on the programme There were present such leaders as Miss Jane Addams and Mrs. Stanley Mccormick of Chicago, Mrs. James Leeds Laidaw, Mrs. Mary Ware Bonnet and Mrs. Caroline Rutz Lees of New York; Miss Kate Gordon of New Orleans, who was appointed by Dr. Anna Sbo fo har ba r6 )r Shaw having been prevented attending by an accident. Another interesting lead CT present was Mrs. Stoner of Washing ton. A compliment in recognition of her ability and service to the cause, paid Mrs. Jacobs was her election as member of the national executive board.
 'The greatest interest and enthusiasm was evidenced everywhere and by every one. The entire city seemed interested, if a marked cordiality indicates anything, for on every hand the delegates and those attending the meetings were accorded all the honors.
 strhe work of Mrs Jacobs in Brming- ham and throughout the state has been wonderful. There are 1000 members of the Birmingham league, each taking an ac- tive part in the suffrage movement. To Mrs. Jacobs is accorded great credit in the organization of the league. On the evening of Miss Addams' talk at the audi lpIiuun, lie nall was not capaclated tt hold the audience. the different visitors presiding over them. Mrs. Jacobs intro duced Miss Addams ill a splendid speech.
 When in conversation with Mrs. Laid law of New York, she told me of the en- thusasm among the New York women We have she said, 's40,000 campaign funt raised by the suffragis of New York state There is no doubt in our minds that by the next legislature that New York will be in the suffrage columns "

 I was unable to look after any of my work. and my friends thought I could not get well.
 Finally, I began to take Cardui. the womans tonic, and I hadn't taken one third of the first bottle, before I could notice its good effects.
 Now I can do all my work feel like I'm not more than 1s years old, but am really 4s. My own friends say I look so well they don't recognize me when we meet in the road.
 My daughter is using Cardui, and she says it is a fine medicine I also have number of lady friends taking 1t. since they found out how if helped me.
 Whenever l feel a little fatigued after days extra hard work. I just take dose of Cardui and am all right.

Made AImshouse Inmates Happy

l am pleasing myself nightly today and maybe opening the eyes of pessi- mistc skeptics to the great good locked in human hearts by opening door here and there into the innermost of our family history. Each story of real life should carry a wholesome lesson 10 the indifferent and the doubting. w. l.. B. tells the tale of an almshouse Christmas, prefaced by relating how disappointed certain unhappy inmates were because of the failure of the rare visitors to their mournful abode to keep promises of future visits and tokens of remembrance. Our corresondent poured out his indignant compassion in writing to one of our faithful co workers who had supplied him and others with books and other reading matter. l will leave him to tell the story in his own way:
 With no such intention on my part, the letter took a grip upon Mrs. G.'s sympathetic nature (she is a Corner ite). She showed it to a number of her friends These concluded they would like to do something for some of these people, and they wrote to me for l5 names. Inlnk1ng 10 avoid JealouS1eS, sent them the names of the 13 women. Afterwards more women took up the idea and wrote for the names of tle 30 men who are there. The consequence was that the parcel post did a big busi- ness at this place, and such a grand Christmas was never heard of in the poorhouse. For one time at least the joys were more numerous than the dis appointments. People who had bed for gotten for years found that it was still sweet to be remembered and many grateful tears were shed for those good women, God bless themr I am telling you all of this because I feel that your Corner is directly responsible for the happiness that was brought to this place. For, as 1 said before, Mrs. c. is a Cornerite, and a perfectly grand. splendid woman she is! It was through the Corner that l met her and through her that all this happened. So you can see it is hard to estimate how far reaching your most truly wonderful in fuence is. ". L.. B."
 l do not envy the feeling of the Cor nerite who can read this narrative with out a sensation of just pride in belong ing to an organization that without ostentation or thought of publicity sends light into darkened~ lives of cap tives and prisoners of poverty and leads them to rejoice with saints on earth and in heaven in the anniversary of the birthday of Him who spent His earth ly life in seeking out the lost and do-
 ing good to all conditions of men, l set down the tale as it is told to me, with no thought of other readers.
