The Indorsement of Equal Suffrage by the Federation of Wom
en’s Clubs and Its Meaning—Other Interests of Women.
Wednesday Dancing Club Enjoys a Beautiful Dinner
Dance at Tutwiler Hotel—Other Topics—Notes
By MYRTLE MILES
The recent indorsement or equal suf
frage by the General Federation of Wom
en's Clubs Is regarded as a decided tri
umph among those who are laboring for
the success of the movement. The Wom
an's Journal, which is the equal suffrage
organ, this weeks says it is really a great
event, commenting on the fact as fol
lows;
It is especially significant in view of
the fact that the general federation Is the
largest organization of women in this
country working for Improved legislation;
and the resolution passed by the more
than 2000 delegates at Chicago shows that
the federation’s leading and most repre
sentative women are fully convinced that
women ought to vote.
Belief in equal suffrage 1s growing all
over the country; but at the successive
biennials of the general federation It has
been possible to watch its rise as in a ba
rometer. In the early days, when the
clubs were few and timid, and were de
voted mainly to literature and self culture,
all mention of suffrage was forbidden. As
the clubs began to broaden their scope,
branching out from Shakespeare and
Browning to social service and efforts for
the public good, the members broadened
their own minds as well, and the number
of suffragists constantly grew. The more
the women worked for improved legisla
tion, the more they came to want to vote.
The subject began to be mentioned at the
biennials, and to be greeted with warm
•applause. State after state gave women
the ballot, and the delegates from those
states told at the biennials what a help
they had found It. Club after club abol
ished Its taboo on suffrage; state after
Btate admitted suffrage clubs to member
ship in the federation. Finally, one state
federation after another came out boldly
for the principle, and the pressure became
strong upon the general federation to do
likewise.
For a long time the official board resist
ed this pressure. It was not because they
were opposed to votes for women; the ma
jority of the officers have long been suf
fragists, and among the delegates sut
frage sentiment has been so general that
It lias been commonly said for years that
no anti-suffragist could ever be elected
president. But most of the officers ob
jected to having the general federation
indorse woman suffrage because they sin
cerely feared that it would injure the fed
eration's usefulness—would keep some of
the more timid and conservative clubs
from joining it—just the ones that most
needed its help, and would perhaps even
drive some that had already joined to
withdraw. Prophecies ttiat it would
"split the federation" were freely made
by the more bigoted antis. Even two years
ngo these considerations still had so much
weight that at the California biennial tin
officers maneuvered successfully to keel
the question of Indorsement from belli!
brought squarely before the convention
But the opposition expressed was almost
wholly on the ground of expediency. Hard
ly a word wa* utter*! against the prin
ciple.
The advance of the suffrage movement
during the past two years has been phe
nomenal; and when the delegates to this
biennial gathered in Chicago, equal suf
frage overshadowed all other questions. It
soon became clear that indorsement was a
foregone conclusion. We have every
reason to rejoice both in the squareness of
tile resolution and in the overwhelming
majority by which it was carried. The op
position was In a hopeless minority, and
did not even put up a fight on the floor ol
the convention.
The circumstances were in many ways
propitious. The meeting was held in Chi
cago, where 168,000 women lately voted
and voted so well as to refute all objec
tions. The delegates bad heard the bon
ored voice of Jane Addams speak of worn
ell's duty to use the ballot as a tool ti
bring about much needed improvements
They bad listened to the dignified and Im
pressive address of Mrs. Carrie Chapmai
•"att, who better than anyone else couh
show them the world-wide scope and lm
portance of the equal rights movement
But. over and above all, the time was ripe
As Victor Hugo well says, nothing cai
stand against “the idea whose time ha;
come.”

Last night a similar arrangement
was made and the club danced, together
;it the new Tutwiler hotel. The gran!
ballroom was reserved for their use
and tallies were placed about the wall
In that superb apartment, leaving gen
erous space iti the center for the danc
ing. During the service of an elaborate
menu the hotel's orchestra, undr the
leadership of Mr. Wiegand. played an
exquisite programme of dance music,
and from the orchestra’s vantage point
in the balcony the melody as it came
to the dancers enjoying all tlie intri

composed of some of the most experi

The tables were beautifully ap
pointed, and each had its central decor
ation fashioned of Shasta daisies, these
beautiful flowers of summer showing
with especial appropriateness against
a background of soft color harmonies
such as one finds in tills picturesque
ballroom, and with gratifying fitness
also In keeping with the daintiness of
the summer dancing frocks worn by

MR. LATT1MER WEDS
MISS WARE OF ASHEVILLE
Asheville, N. C., June 24.—(Special.>
Mr. Hugh F. Latimer of Birmingham and
.Miss Kathleen Ware of Asheville were
married this evening at 9 o’clock at Cen
tral Methodist Episcopal church, south,
in the presence of relatives and close
friends. The wedding was a very quiet
affair on account of the ill health of the
mother of the bride, the ceremony being
performed by the Rev. J. C. Rowe, D. D.,
the bride’s pastor, following the regular
weekly prayer services. Mr. and Mrs.
T^ntimer left immediately for a wedding I
trip, after which they will go to Bir- I
mingham to reside.
On account of the prominence of Miss
Ware, the bride, in social, religious and
educational work In Asheville, and this
immediate vicinity, much interest has
been manifested in her engagement to Mr.
Ijatimer, which was announced several |
weeks ago at a reception given in her
hono» at the residence of Mrs. Neptune
Buckner in Aston Place.
Mrs. Latimer has been president of
the district Baraca-Philathea union and
members of those religious organizations
had charge of the decorations and other
pretty little details of the wedding to- j
night. In addition to her church activ-i
ities the bride of tonight has been an
officer of the local Young Women’s Chris- !
tian association and was a member of j
the faculty of the Asheville High school. I
The popularity of Miss Ware added to
the interest manifested in the series of
pre-nuptial affairs which were given, all
informally. In her honor. At a recent
garden party the bride-to-be was show
ered with presents of silver, cut glass
and linen. At this affair th*» close friends
ow Miss Ware surrounded her, while
Mrs. R. C. Stevens, a schoolmate, of
fered the following toast:
"Here’s to the girl with bright, brown
eyeB;
Here’s to the lassie with the bright,
sunny smile;
Here’s to the girl whose joyousness the
, saddest hours beguile;
Here's to the girl with a loving heart and
a willing mind and a helping hand,
i Who loyal hath been in every hard task;
leader of our working band;
Here’s to her health and happiness and
all good things besides—
Here's to the one we love so dear—
Here's to Kathleen, the bride."
i
The bride is the attractive daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Ware .and has re
sided in Asheville practically all of her
life. As the executive officer of the Ba
racas and Philatheas. she has made an
i enviable record, her personal charms add
r Ing to her general ability as president
) of the joint organizations. When the
■ announcement of the engagement of Miss
Ware to Mr. Latimer was made recently,
1 and with it word that they would reside
* in Birmingham, resolutions of regret upon
her departure were passed and commit
: tees were named to present the same to
the bride-to-be. Miss Ware was at one
time prominently mentioned in connec
tion with the prlncipalship of the local
high school, and also the entire Athe
vllle public school system.
Mr. Latimer is a native of South Caro
lina and having visited Asheville quite
often in the past has made many friends
here. He has resided in Birmingham for
sometime past, being district passanger
agent of the Queen and Crescent route.
Paying tribute to Mr. Latimer today, a
high railway official said:
"Hugh F. Latimer is undoubtedly one
of the best men, in every sense of the
word, in the railway service in the south.
The entire railroad world smiles with him
on his happy day and we wish for Mr.
and Mrs. Latimer the very best of luck
always."
Mr. Latimer came up from Birmingham
early in the week. Like his bride, he
has been active for a long time past
In religious work in Birmingham, being
superintendent of the Southstde Baptist
Sunday school and a pillar of strength
In that church. He Is likewise promi
nent in the Young Men’s Christian asso
ciation and civic circles.

Every girl you know goes through that
stage in life when the keenest desire of
her heart is to become a trained nurse or
an actress.
Perhaps this might be called the 'Im
pressionistic" stage,
For—
Then she gets the color and the lights
and the shadows—
But—
Not the technique.
Tile crisp, immaculate uniform of the
nurse—the fool hand on the fevered brow,
the holding of the cup of cold water to
the parched Ups—this is the picture that
appeals to her In a vague sort of roman
tic way.
And—
So—
She turns to nursing as a sort of ad
venture.
Of course
Many times it is finance and not ro
mance that sends a girl forth on this mis
sion.
Looking for a profession, she finds that
her training may bA had free of charge
and from $25 to $35 a week held out as a
.steady salary Is better far than clerking
or teaching.
Still—
Again— I
The psychology of her desire is the ad
vance impulse, where she belongs to some
simple work-adny household.
It means some little social distinction—
perhaps much—and her ambition sings
merrily at the thought.
80—
\\ e see tills type with utter naivete de
ciding to follow the profession.
In any or all of these cases the girl
really has no idea of the stern realities
of a nurses duties.
Triqls?
Oh. yes. there are many, but the effi
cient nurse must be willing and ready
to “eat up" the trials in store for her,
trials fit for a poor princess in a fairy
tale, and which she must conquer with
no other magic help than the dwarfs of
her own Btrength—the sprites of her own
intelligence.
It is all trial from the first—there is no
last, unless she gives it up entirely.
Trials of her character, trials of her |
mind, trials of her perseverance, trials of
her temper, trials of her pride—all trials!
A nurse's life Is a little life training in
a nut shell,
That’s it.
She must work from morning until night
and from night until morning oft times, ,
with the patience of Job and the brain
of Athene!
Can you find a moro exacting calling
one that demands more womanliness,
more character, more Christianity?
There came to this city some three
months ago. through the generosity of
Birminghrim’.s splendid and public spirited
citizen, Mr. Phigene T,. BroWn. a young
woman who has given her life work to
nursing the victims of tuberculosis.
Miss Bertha Clement is the name of the
young woman in question, and her office
is that of district nurse of the Anti-Tu
berculosis association.
There is a beautiful sentiment whieh
prompted the thought in Mr. Brown's
heart to contribute his “mite," so to
speak, by employing the services of Miss
Clement in nllevinting the suffering of
his fellow men—those who are victims
of the great white plague.
Miss Clement for two years and a half
was at the bedside of Mr. William Gar
rett Brown—the youngest brother of Mr.
Eugene Brown, and all through his pa
thetic illness—hopeless even from the
start. Miss Clement watched over him
and administered In her gentle, tender
way every comfort that could palliate
his pain and suffering.
Since then Mr. Eugene Brown has ren
dered a service past calculation In its
effect 1n making It possible for Miss
Clement to be employed here by the Anti
Tuberculosis association.
It is a touching tribute to the memory
of hie beloved and honored brother—a
material benefit to the community which
is nriceless In its usefulness.
Miss Clement’s tribute to the mind and
personality of the late Mr. William Gar
rott Brown is surpassing sweet and kind.
This noble and honored son of Alabama,
whose intellect and mind were second to
none in all this broad land, is a theme
of never ending tenderness on her part
and she knew him perhaps better than
anyone else.
Miss Clement is the type of woman who
srems bv nature to be fitted for the high
falling of p nurse.
Strength, physically and mentally, as
• ert themselves in her sneech and man
ner and movement, and her kindliness
and power withall make her a most im
rpessive character—a woman on whom
you could relv with faith and hope and
n feel of absolute confidence in any great
c limacteric.
Her work among the tubercular patients
here has mot with happy results on all
sides.
She is so earnest and so interested and
so hopeful—that is the most characteris
tic of her many attributes—of the even
tual stamping out of the dread white
plague that success is hound to be her
reward—success full measure and to over
flowing.
“T've been a trained nurse for 10
years now." Miss Clement told me the
other dnv when we were talking about
her work, “it was a hard tight to gain
the consent of my family to take up
nursing as a profession, but T had al
ways wanted to do it. Even ns a little
girl I always had more sick dolls than
anybody else and whenever any of my

little playmates had sickness in their i
doll families I was asked to look after j
them, and so you see it really is an '
innate love of nursing that prompted
me to follow it as a profession.”
"How particularly did you happen to i
affiliate yourself with the nursing of j
tubercular cases?" I asked.
“You see I am a native of Asheville, j
N. C.," Miss Clement said, "and you
know what a center that is for tuber
cular patients. 1 hardly know where to !
draw the line between my work in
general nursing and taking up tuber
culosis ns a specialty. I will say this,
however, that some years ago when I
found that tuberculosis was pronounced
a curable disease, I made my choice
and 1 leave never regretted it. I am
not at all afraid of it and often think
I am immune. I huve worked with Dr.
Dunn a great deal—you know he is
one of tiie greatest specialists of the* j
day in tubercular troubles—in fact all
the doctors In Asheville have innumera
ble cases of tuberculosis to deal with
and if a nurse wants to do the best
type of work, she cannot refuse these
oases."
"You were speaking of tuberculosis
as a curable disease," 1 observed. "T
know many doctors have pronounced it
so. but what do you think of it per
sonally?"
"1 believe it is a curable disease,"
said Miss Clement, "provided it is
taken in its Incipiency. Just as small
pox and diphtheria and many other
diseases have been found to be curable
so is tuberculosis. The question is not
a medical one, however, but education
al. Its prevention after all Is better
than Its cure, and what is most needed
to avoid its terrible ravages is for the
people to be educated to its needs
and requirements, and to put their
shoulder to the wheel and prevent it."
"In this district." Miss Clement con
tinued, “I find a very promising field.
I cannot say too much in praise of
Dr. KaVes and the splendid work lie has
accomplished. With the means and the
time that the Anti-Tuberculosis asso
ciation has been working. I think
wonderful things have been done."
"What strikes you as the most de
ficient quality in the work?" I asked.
"T would say that the one of the
most important things that is needed.”
was the answer, "is provision for the
negroes. Of course on account of their
mode of life, their homes and sur
roundings the disease is quite pro
nounced—more so than among the
white people. You have no idea how
heartily the negroes co-operate with
us In our work. The better class is
deeply interested in what we tell them
and often come to the association for
cups. They seem to realize the value
of the education we are trying to give
them In the matter of taking care of
themselves."
"It is astounding how many resent
the simple treatment—and It Is so
simple—just plenty of fresh air and
rest," said Miss Clement." You have no
Idea how many resort to patent medi
cines."
"But you can scarcely blame them,"
I Interrupted. "It’s like a drowning
man catching at a straw."
"That is quite true," Miss Clement
replied, "but if they only realized the
harm in all those things. That Is what
we try to teach them: how to take
care of themselVes and the proper
sanitary conditions. In many cases we
have to furnish milk for them. Of

MISS SHARP WEDS
MR. WILLIAMS IN WOODLAWN
One of the prettiest weddings in a sea
son of nuptial events was that of Miss
Ruby Carol Sharp and Mr. Elbert Marvin
W illiams, which was solemnized last
evening at 8 o'clock at the Woodlawn
Methodist church.
The church was beautiful with its dec
orations consisting of lilies, roses and
ferns. The altar rail was draped with
trailing smllax and lighted by stately ta
i pers. A delightful musical programme
i w*8 rendered by Mr. and Mrs. W. N.
. Sharpe preceding and during the cere
, many.
The ushers, Mr. W. T. Dixon and Mr.
I Marvin Garrison led the bridal proces
sional, entering from opposite aisles and
crossing at the altar. Mi9s Mariam Love
i lady, Miss Margaret Nall, Miss Mabel
i Lovelady and Miss Myrtle Jones, as
flower maids, followed. They wore Whitt
1 lingerie gowns with pastel rainbow col
ored girdles and carried baskets of sweel
peas.
The bridesmaids, Miss Kate Rogers
Miss Ruby Morton. Miss Mildred Rost
and Miss Marie Couch, in rainbow shadet
1 of crepe de chine and carrying sweel
peas, entered In the order named with
the groomsman, Mr. Irving McDonald
, Mr. Edgar Montgomery, Mr. Claude Mor

course you understand as I said before,
that the work of the Anti-Tuberculosis
association is educational, rather than
the actual care of the patients. In go
ing from home to home where the dis
ease has developed of course we do
everything that can be done, but prop
er living and proper precaution helps
more than anything else in the world.”
"Dr. Eaves has done everything pos
sible to get the better class of colored
people Interested,” Miss Clement con
tinued, "and during the Sociological
congress recently several meetings
were held at the Sixteenth street Bap
tist church and much intrest was man
ifested. Besides provision for the ne
groes we need a place for the advanced
cases, as much as anything else, so
that they will not have to be in the
camp with incipient cases. It is so de
pressing to those who are only slightly
sick to be near those whose cases are
practically hopeless. The camp can only
accommodate 32 patients, and you sec
that is a very limited number. oi
course in many of the advanced case*
that come to us arrangements can be
made for sleeping porches in the home
of the patient, and then it is not nec
essary to take them to the camp. In
other eases we have no chance to do
this, hence the need of a hospital for
advanced cases.”
"How do you think the climate of
Birmingham affects the tubercular pa
tient?” I asked.
"I think out of the city on the moun
tains and hill tops about here that it
is fully as curative and beneficial as
Asheville or Denver,” said Miss ('leni
ent. "Of course the dust and dirt of
tlie city is bad from any standpoint,
but camps located on the mountains
are excellent. Besides, think what it
means, the expense, the enormous ex
pense connected with a long residence
in North Carolina or Colorado! So
many cannot afford these trips and it
meams life to them to be able to get
the same benefit here at home for so
much less. The only thing that we
need to perfect our work here is just
sufficient means! it is a glorious work,
and when the people once awaken to
Its possibilities and realize what it
means, the stamping out of the great
white plague, there will he rejoicing
among the multitudes who fear it and
who know so little of how to cope with
it now.”

wife, who at one time was in the dress
making business. It was her wish that
some worthy person should have these
pieces to occupy their idle hours and make
some good use of them in making quilts
or something else, and I am ready and j
willing to so distribute them. Hence this j
letter. There are pieces of various sizes i
and of all colors and too many to give i
to one person—perhaps 40 pounds in all.
I w-ould expect recipients to pay carrying I
charges, by sending through you or to me
direct postage for packages to be mailed <
or stamps or money to cover the necessary i
express charges. I do not like to send i
by express ‘collect’ for fear of the pos
! siblllty of having to pay return charges, i
| so the applicants will have to risk a few’
c6nts. I do not undertake to make any
deliveries anywhere personally or at my
own house. I shall only send as stated ,
ar.d on request, but I will gladly do pack
! ing, addressing, and answer letters. If
j you, therefore, will keep this letter on
file for future requests and will give ap
plicants my address and ‘terms’ I will
cheerfully dole out the pieces as long as
they last and will also, if you so desire,
advise you where they are sent and w’hen
the supply is exhausted. I hope that l
am correctly understood and that we
may both be the means of bringing glad
ness to some few. E. H.”
The Genuine Ilassunpfef
“For one wrho wanted the recipe for has- j
enpfeffer: Cut up the rabbit, leaving out
[any piece that is bruised or bloody. Wash ■
I w’ell in salted water and wipe dry. Place
I In a jar or crock. Cover the meat with
I vinegar. Add a spoonful of crushed
| spices, one of salt, one of sugar. Leave
i for three days In this pickle. Stir once
| dally. Keep covered and cool. This done
| fry all the lard from slices of bacon;
roll the pieces of rabbit in flour and fry
; them nice and brown on both sides. When
brown and tender take out the meat, add
a little more flour, brown to make gravy;
all three spoons of vinegar (pickled) to a
[cup of water. Some do not like onion in
i the gravy, but we do, and strain the
! gravy. This is called the genuine hasen
i pfeffer or baked potatoes. All pickled
meats, fried or stewed, need their oppo
sites as rice, hominy, cornbread, potatoes.
No desserts should be served with potted
meats. ADOPTED CITIZEN.”
Chocolate and Caramel Cake
“A correspondent asked lately In the I
Corner for a caramel roll. I do not know’ j
it by that name, but It occurs to me that ;
chocolate and caramel cake may be what j
she is looking for. Two ounces of choco- ,
late, one cup of sugar, one-half cup of
milk, one-quarter cup of butter, two cups .
of flour, tw’o eggs, two teaspoons of bak- I
ing powder, one teaspoon of vanilla. Bake *
n three layers. Caramel filling: One and
ne-half cups of granulated sugar, one- ^
lalf cup of sweet milk, one small tea
poon of butter. Boil until it spins a
hread, stirring constantly. Add vanilla,
me teaspconful—and beat until cool
nough to spread upon the cake. Or you ^
nake a roll of this by baking the cake
a a broad bread pan in a thin sheet.
Ipread it with the caramel filling while |
t is still rather warm and rolling it up
s you would jelly roll. Lay it upon the
olded side until it is stiff and cold. Slu e,
•eginning at the end. as you would cut a
