in he basement or on the kindlng
pile for some clear, straight-grain
pieces of pine that is not split or
blemished. You will need three
strips, two inches wide, one strip
three inches wide, and another
about four inches wide-all about Is
inches long, For uprights you will
| need three pieces, seven-eights
inches thick, about four inches wide,
and II inches long. OF course you
might get the material at a lumber
yard, but you will probably find it
| in the kindling pile. If the tools
are sharp and you are expert with
them, you might work it up out of
| oak, birch or other hard wood.
The three uprights should be cut
out according to the pattern shown
in the drawing. The three-inch
strip forms the bottom; the four
inch strip forms the lower part Of
the back; and the three two-inch
strips are nailed on as shown. Use
| shingle nails with pine; screws with
oak. Bore two half-inch holes
| through the upper strip, before 1t
is fastened on, so that the rack may
be hung on two nails.
When the carpenter work is com-
plete, trim up all the joints, sand
| paper it thoroughly, and gave it
two coats of white Outside" paint.
As tins and covers are usually be-
tween nine and 10 inches in dia-
| meate, each compartment will hold
several of them. 1t is perfectly
possible, however, to add other COM
partment, allowing II inches be-
tween the uprights.

Her creative faculties produced rev developments in beautiful flowing costumes, of delicate designs and artistic workmanship and in the setting of jewels the invention of perfumes and many other luXuries of living.

direction. Would you believe it, we have had several requests of late from people in America who want to adopt British babies! One of them is a Kan sas woman who writes that she has two boys and now wants to adopt a little English girl. Well, we have found little orphaned girl of and are going to send her out to Kansas just as soon as we can arrange to do so. Another American woman who wants to adopt an English child writes from Brooklyn, N Y. Then we have a male applicant an American officer. He has asked us to get in touch with the widow of British officer who was killed and ascertain if she will permit him to adopt one of her little father less youngsters It appears that he served in the same British regiment with the father of these children and was very friendly with him. Knowing that the widow has now several little months to feed, he thinks that she might be willing to part with one. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to men ton one rather funny thing. A man who is going back to America has promised to take one of these babies with him, and he is a bachelor! We all think that he is going to have his hands pretty full"

Geo. Tarrant Tells of His
 First Visit to Birmingham,
Was Eight Years Old, Freezing Cold Day and His
 Father Bought Him His First Pair of Red Top Boots

at almost any place on Second avenue without being seen. It is different now l wouldn't like to take a tumble on that part of the avenue now, for I know
 would te seer by a number of people | that know me, and I would never hear the last of it.
 But my injured feelings were entirely healed when my father bought a pair of red-top boots for me. the first had ever had, and you probably know what pride boy feels over the possession of his first red-top boots.
 T put them on in the store, kept them on the balance of the day, and when bed time came Insisted on sleeping in them was afraid if took them off they would be gone when I got up in the morning and nothing else in the world could take the place of those red-top boots. They were the most precious possession. I had ever had and to lose them would have broken my heart.
 "It is wonderful what an impression
 the most ordinary things make on small boy the first time he sees them. Take, for instance, that big, red hill
 in front of Colonel Hewitt's house. Any one passing along there today will ob- serve slight rise towards Seventh ave- nue from Sixth avenue, but to me on that occasion it looked like a mountain. The business houses on Second avenue. and especially the one occupied by MT. Brown, impressed me as being about the biggest things I had ever seen. They looked several times high then as they did a few years later when I had been to Birmingham several times and got ac- customed to seeing two and three story buildings"
 MT. Tarrant did not state what year it was that he had this novel experience and knowing his modesty the interviewer dod not insist on his telling. Suffice it to say it was before Birmingham s streets were paved with macadam, brick or any other kind of materials, just plain. ordi nary red clay of the sticky Jefferson county kind.

q recall quite vividly and with a great deal of amusement my first trip to Bir- mingham, remarked George B. Tar rant "I was about years of age, and came in wagon with my father from our home about eight miles from the city on the Mt Pinson road.
 We brought load of corn to Col. G. W. Hewitt, later a member of Congress from this district, and for years one of the leading attorneys in Alabama.
 Colonel Hewitt lived at Seventh avenue and Twenty-third street and to get up to his house we had to climb red hill I then thought it was the Steepest and red dest hill had ever seen. It doesn't look quite so red or so steep today.
 ''It was a cold day and I was almost frozen when the wagon stopped in front of Colonel Hewitt's house. My father, as he started in the house, told me to come along and get warm, but I was too timid and remained in the wagon shivering and my teeth chattering for half an hour or such matter while he sat by the fire and talked with Colonel Hewitt.
 Leaving Colonel Hewitt's house we came down on Second avenue and stopped in front of W. s. Browns store. MT. Brown then and for a great many years afterwards conducted a general merchant disc between Twentieth and Twenty first street.
 '1 was still almost frozen. l don't be- lieve I was ever as cold in my life either before or since. We got out of the wagon and started to cross the sidewalk into the store. My feet were so cold l could hardly walk.
 ''The street was not paved at all, and the brick sidewalk was sadly out of re- pair. Just as I got about half way across the sidewalk I bumped my foot against a loose brick and fell sprawlins full length.
 Before getting up I looked in every direction to see if anybody was near enough to see me. I felt very much humiliated and finally when satisfied that had not been observed, got to my feet and trotted into the store few feet behind my father
