Great Work Lir,ley Hefin
 Unit Did at Big Bazar!

1 organization felt sure of raising. For the bazaar this season, Mrs. James l Wilcox and Mrs Herbert Tutwiler were ohairmen, with these commit tee chairmen.
 Mrs Bobley Munger, Mrs. H. U. Sims. Mrs. Frank Grider, Mrs. Nor- timer Baldwin, Mrs. Mitchell William son, Miss. Emmie Barnett, Mrs. Ar thur Chenoweth, and Mrs. Will Leary, who was nuhlicity chairman.
 t Busy Summers
 Rhe operatis of the club during the summer was busy affair. It holds it's regular summer conclaves, at which gigantic plans for the ba- gar are mapped out. After the first meeting there is no gathering in which the members do not bring along their sewing, talking and working and listening at the same time. How carefully is the material for those bazar articles bought. The colorlng. the thread, the exture, the style, the general makeup cf the finished articles must be irreproach- able. For 1t is principally women of discriminating tastes who patron ize the. bazar, and what is there must be as right as things in a Fifth avenue atalier.
 1t takes hours of shopping-trips galore-all. that matching and re- matching. and contrasting of stuffs to be used, whether it Is of cotton. silk, linen CT wool.
 Consultations must be held, even with modistes.
 In addition, the unit members pledge themselves, when they go away in the summer. to be on the alert for different things to buy that they feel sure will bring a good price at the bazar.
 They either buy these things out right, or later order them from vogue sht ps.
 Thus it was this season lovely things came from almost every city in America-es well as from far away Europe.
 Every girl is made to feel her responsibility for the continuation of the children,s hospital, for she is pledged to preenre a certain number of salsble articles.
 E;qual Responsibility
 Every girl thus shares equal re- sponsibility.
 The whole organization is divided into six committees. each having 8 chairman. That officer, just before the bazaar, becomes the-~ receiving clerk for all the articles made. Y with the two general chairmen of the unit and estimate cost of articles and the prices that should be put on them. All hands work go that there will be superfluity of wares, in case of need, and articles enough to make the amount of money pledged, in case some things have to be seld more cheaply than was ex- pected.
 The club possesses e5 charming members who already are turning their attention to their big charity party which must be given within the next few months.
 It means something to Birmingham to have such live. conscientious workers, and at the bazar many were the compliments heaped upon those girls who day by day. served behind the counters fer the merri- ment of little children who must hover for a while between life and death

bome at 432 East avenue, is attract
tnx greater attention this year than

Made Of wood, plaster paris and

other points of interest of the city
where Christ was born.
The roadways, the slope of the
model and the snow-coyered hills,
make an interesting appearance, and
the n in which Mr.. Scala is
capable of explaining every nook
and corner of the model, makes it
even more interesting.
In front and to the right and left
~ the model are CHRISTMAS trees
peatly decorated, which add to the
Beauty of the scene. The builder of
this model invites anyone DESTROYS
of seeing same to come to the house
ct any time. Mr.. Sea a would be in
ferested IN having the model on
hibition in some hall in this city
and any admission to be collected,
to be turned owe TO some charitable
institution. This could be done after
the holidays.
This Is the twelfth year Mr. Scala
has erected a model of the city of
Bethlehem and this year 1t took him
two weeks, working mostly nights to
complete the task. The first model
