 It was an enthusiastic, interested and altogether splendidly public-spirited CO., terie of women who met at the Children's hospital last week to make the reports as chairmen of committees who are getting ready for the doll bazar, which is one of the most conspicuous events in the social and philanthropic world each year.
 The charity is one which appeals to every heart and the women who have made the doll bazaar a success from year to year deserve and have the support of every person who knows what this charity means.
 Mrs. Hill Ferguson, the general chair man, is working diligently to make this years event the most successful in the history of the organization, and she has chosen wisely her various committees. She held the last meeting at the hospital and with those surrounding the comforts which have already been provided by the good people of Birmingham, and with the increasing needs of a great institution like that, no wonder that little band of women were willing to do everything in their power to raise necessary funds to. buy the necessities and add to the equip- ment of the home. On the front porch of the hospital there were number of little white beds, all occupied by little, well cared for babies One little innocent sat straight up in his bed and, with big blue eyes, looked a S if to smile were a sin. Another who lay on his back, when one of the ladies greeted her. said, I'm sick. folks white capped nurse was in attendance and everything was fresh and clean but every mothers heart at that meeting for the doll bazar longed for more space for Birmingham's little irnocents, more equipment and greater facilities for caring for every applicant for space ln the home, and each one had a new desire to make this years doll ba- gar pay for the needs of Birmingham's sick little ones
 The time of the bazar will be December 5 to 10. The place, next to the Martha Washington Candy Palace, on Twentieth street. The luncheons will be held as heretofore, at the IIillman hotel, through the generous kindness of MT. Bailey. Mrs. Rivers Carter will be the general chair man for the luncheons, and this, of itself, means the success of this department, for Mrs. Carters generalship Is we'll known, especially to these who have worked out the great charity problems CT Birmingham for a number of years.
 A significant and encouraging fact is that so many of the Birmingham women have not waited to be asked for dona- tions but have called Mrs. Ferguson to offer assistance, either their time or ar ticles to be sold, which shows that every woman is a mother at heart, and every heart is in sympathy with this charity for the Birmingham babies.
 The Drama league will meet on the afternoon of Tuesday at o'clock. in the ballroom of the Tutwler when pr. w. W. Memminger will read Henry Ar thur Jones' play. Michael and His Lost Angel"

 On Monday preceding the meeting a committee will be at the Drama league desk in the book department of Loveman Joseph & Loebs, to receive renewals and new members.
