"KIKP', LIKE PETER PAW, SETS STYLE STANDARD

It ia i6 years since Barrie and can fashions, Tho lrenziod enthusi- asm with which the public received Peter Pan" was responsible for n flood Of Peter Pan" styles saucy little hats with santing quils and round neck collars being the chief of these.
 Not since then has any stage offer ing, save perhaps "The Merry -Wid- ow," which gave for q brief season or two the name to the wide hrmmed hats in vogue, made any distinct im- pression upon the national mode - until "Kiki."
 Xxi" IS the name of the present play in which Leonore Uric has ap- poared all this season and in which she may continue to play for at least another decade.
 The garments of ''kiki" the little French show girl, are as charming and saucy as the girl herself, and the matinee girls ind most adorable the frock sketched today, which is being widely copied in every conceivable occasion.
 The dress itself is simple enough. There is very long. slim. tight bas- que, huttoncd denurely down the back, and the skirt IS gathered upon this waist with a pert, up standing frill. And that's all there is to it. But, oh, the chic of it!
 For smart afternoon affairs, at and later at summer resorts, the "Kiki" frock will be de- veloped in gay colored silks, and often the frill of the skirt will be seen lined with some wildly contra sting color, which may be repeated in pipings about the neck and armhole and in the silk covered buttons as well as in such accessories a.s hat trimmings or a veil, handbag, or parasol.

 "Oh, said Billy Woodchuck He had been bit worried, for he didn't want Nimble Deer to step on him at the party. Even though it might be an accident, being stepped on by so big a chap as Nimble would be no joke. Everybody knew that Nimble's hoofs were sharp. But now Billy had learned some thing that set his fears at rest. Nim ble Deer was going to help Jimmy Rab- bit at the party. An" Billy Woodchuck murmured to himself That means that Jimmy Rabbit has plan. And it must be q good one; for his plans are always fine" What are you going to do to help9" he asked Nlmble. Jimmy Rabbit didn't tell me-" Nimble replied, Maybe I'm to enter tain the company by having a mock battle with somebody flaw would you like to have a mock battle with me ,"
 T shouldn't care for If at all," Billy WoodchuCk cried hastily.
 Well, l dare say some body would enjoy sham fight" sand Nimhle Y must ask Jimmy Rahblt who fl will be"

 But Jimmy Rabbit said there were to be no battles of any kind at his party

 Supervision Of Dr. BroaUv7


 The City Welfare department has obtained employment for 1.2S7 men during the past year, according to the annual report compiled by Dr. Walter $. Brown These men, sent to various places of employment support 4.500 dependents according to the report
 The annual report was completed just before Dr. Brown, who resigned recently because of i'll health. turned over the office to his successor, F. A. Culley.
 Dr. Brown organized this depart ment in June, 1916, under ap ordi- nance that had just been adopted by the city commission at the instance of Arlie Barber, who was commis- sioner of public safety. There was no general public charity in the city at that time; there was a crying need for the poor.
 The new department was wide and varied in its undertakings; it took up the cause and needs of the poor in every way that came up, doing the best possible with the limited amount

There's always somebody in every community who is honored by being asked to be the "toastmasters at the big banquets; there is always some body who is invited to be the speech maker" at all the official public meetings, and I'm beginning to be- 1ics<S that the honor of 'introducing" big celebrities Is going to be wished" on me because whenever there is an especially attractive ''star" who comes to Birmingham for the first time I'm sure to be asked what I know about such an one, who she is, where she's played and all about her. And so as the public speaker says:
 Ladies and gentlemen, is Is my very great pleasure this evening 10 introduce to you Miss Grace La Rue and MT.
