our hats on trusty rack and eet
right to work. We've never had as
nretty decorations?'
Assisting Mrs. Denegre, who is
chairman for the spice shop, yester-
day, were Mrs. Leo K. Steiner In the
capacity Of treasurer, while today
Mrs. Morris Bush will take that Job.
Mrs. Hill Ferguson has sent down
some marvellous pickles, Mrs. Denegre
said, while the Ensley Mothers club
dispatched to this goody shop 400 de-
licious packages. Great bargains are
being given at this booth.
That Cat
/ had the pleasure OF meeting Mrs.
Lacey, whose Persian cat stopped
the show Tuesday and made every
body leave their booths to shake
hands with it, tease its back and
dandle baubles on the floor for it to
play with. That was the reason the
cat wasn't at the show yesterday. It
was SO overwhelmingly adorable no
body could work, and nobody would
buy anything as long as kitty was
present. 1t might do some new trick
and they'd miss the sight! Its name
is Baby Dear" and 1t has the sort
of hair that would make any beauty
parlor miss a Broadway headliner IL
she exhibited 1t to Folies manager.
By the way, it was Mrs. Lacey's own
kitten from ner cattery she brought
back, because she didn't have any on
hand she thought was good enough
for the show.
Let's see. Hero we arrive right at
the home made candy booth. where
the women of the Temple Emanu- El
are selling such a species of goodies
that the shop variety after this will
seem tame. But you mustn't pass up,
when you go, the little candy men
and women made out of lollypops
and minis, with stick candy for arms
and legs; and many little dolls with
their feet fashioned of packages of
chewing gum. Sounds sorter like
ladies' feet in Chicago or down at
Briggs Bend or somewhere far away
from Birmingham. But you'd never
know about those feet unless you
picked up the paper doll ladies. They
have consideration enough to hide
them members underneath big hoop
skirts that, in fashionable wise. trail
the literal earth all rosebudded up,
too.

Mrs. Yeatmnn Fine
That booth of books will attract
you, and If they don't Mrs. John
Yeatman will. She's sweet, and while

book agent as the photographers write
about, thinks she's getting along

written by Mrs. Shirley Harris, who
as wrapper, was cautioned every
minute: BE sure to wrap that doll
so she won't break" Just as IL Mrs.

have herself cracked somewhere, and
whatever you do don't drop that
doll"
When the society editor found her.
Mrs Harris was in a nervous rigor.

q startling wonder to everybody what

Mrs. AIDA Barnes was having the
time of her life, she said. when I
