All day yesterday Birmingham ma irons and maids were busy about the Ledger building, First avenue and Twenty first street, where the bazaar will be held, transforming it into veritable doll land. Scores of tiny Christmas trees, smilax, English ivy and frosted snow were used by the women in the decorations and last night when the work had been completed and they viewed the results of their labor the place which had been empty and bare was changed into a wonderland.

LOUISE LONG BYRNE
To the Editor of The Age Herald: 'Tis the wink of an eye,
 'Tis the draught of breath. From the blossom of health
 To the paleness of death.

Many are the friends that learned with sorrow and surprise of the death of Louise Byrne.
 For little while she fingered at the gate of love and life, but becoming wearied with pain and suffering, she lay down by the wayside and after hearing the rustic of the angels wing. she fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down her eyelids still.
 As sister, daughter and wife. she was the idol in two and the admired and loved in many happy homes.
 Her Christian character and beautiful life, as manifested in truth and ten- derness, in courage and consideration. lin cheerfulness and loyalty to friends, in love and faithfuIness. will always remain rich heritage to those for whom she was ever-- "A guardian angel OCT their lives pre-
 siding. Doubling their pleasures and their
 cares dividing. ,Tis true the human vase, the golden
 bowl. is broken: But everlasting love is yet the divine
 token.
 She is gone. but not forgotten. She is
 dead but not forever. As she peacefully sleeps in that win-
 dowless palace of rest
 Careless alike of sunshine or shower, Let sweet violets press the sod And golden daisies beckon her on to
