MR. HOWARD'S BEAUTIFUL
THOUGHTFULNEBB.
It was a beautiful thought of Mr.
Turner Howard to give the old ladles
of the Mary Warren Home a little Ice
cream party after their matinee party
at the Grand when they were the
guests of Manager Tant. Not only
were they refreshed after the play but
they carried home with them a huge
box of delicious chocolates that Mr
Howard had thoughtfully had In readi
ness for them.
The Bovs' Home, or the boys of the
Boys' Home, were also Mr. Howard's
guests after the matlness and they
also were each given jars of candy.
It takes so little to make some peo
ple happy that one wonders why It
Is that others are not more frequently
thought of.
BRICK TO BE LAID THIS WEEK

Is president of the Home, and Mrs.
Duvall chairman of the building com

they should lay the first brick In the
foundation of the new Home. There
is still needed two or three thousand
Hollars to complete th* building fund.

MRS. BELL’S COTTON HATS
TO BE SHOWN AT AIBANY
CONVENTION.
Among the exhibits at the fslr there
was nothing that excited more favor
able comment than the pretty hats that
Mrs. Bell had displayed at ihe Sibley
Mill exhibit, hats made entirely of cot
ton, and hats so pretty that until close
lyexamlnod ona thought them not u like
hats fr, white fur or other handsome
materiel. Ono especially pretty one
was a picture shape In cotton halting
rolled high on the left side and wreathed
with the empty cotton burs which hud
been glided. A cluster of cotton hulls
In full fruit with gilt seed was used Just
above Ihe left temple. Another was an
elongated shape of while halting trim
med with a hand of silver lace and a
stiek-up of cotton holla In various
stakes of fruitage. Still another whs of
white hating trimmed with stunning
white wings that gave a very decided
clean-cut appearance to the hat. The
butting was all covered with delicate
tulle In one layer which kept the cotton
from ruffing up snd becoming untidy.
Mrs Frank Fleming will lake some 'd
these hats to Albany to exhibit at the
convention there this week, and will
wear one during the session, Mrs Bell
Is fashioning several others to go to
New York to he worn at Ihe Cotton Ball
which will he given soon by the South
ern Society.
