Mrs. Bashinsky’s Message to Daughters of Confederacy—Mrs
Molton’s Luncheon at Press Club—Gossip About Well
Known People—Other Notes of Interest
A message which will he of widespread
Interest to the United Daughters of the
Confederacy has been received. It reads:
My Dear Daughters:
Since the summer, with its pleasures and
recreations, is past, I hope all our chap
ters are ready to begin active work with
renew’ed zest and interest, and with the
determination to make this, what each
succeeding year should be, the best in
the history of our organization. It is
true, that because of adverse conditions
arising from the dreadful European war,
with its holocaust of death and destruc
tion, our organization, like all others,
will be seriously affected. Yet, we must
remember that today we have 500 more
members, 16 U. D. C. and nine C. of C.
chapters in excess of those at this date
last year, and with this increased mem
bership, increased interest and increased
effort on the part of each and every mem
ber, we should be able to overcome many
disadvantages and to accomplish fully
as much, and perhaps even more, than
last year. But remember, dear daugh
ters, that our success as an organization
will depend upon the individual member,
and we beg that you meet the unusual
adverse conditions with greater effort,
greater determination and with some sac
rifice of self for our cause.
With the exeeptiSh of six official trips
within the states, your president has spent
a very busy summer at her desk, writ
ing. thinking and planning U. D. C. work.
Since the May convention I have signed
£32 certificates of membership and char
tered three new chapters, viz.: Forrest
Kansom chapter, Good water; John W.
Jones chapter, Cropwell, and John W. In
zer chapter, Springville.
My correspondence indicates unusual ac
tivity on the part of many chapters
throughout the state. Two of these are
planning to place markers of very special
historic interest, and should they appeal
to you for assistance we hope you will
give them your co-operation and generous
assistance.
The General U. D. C. convention will be
held in Savannah November 11-14 Inclu
sive. It should be a matter of state pride
to send a splendid report and large delega
tion to this convention.
Mrs. Tate, treasurer general, has sub
mitted a list of 18 Alabama chapters
whose general dues have not been paid.
3Jlease investigate and see if your chap
ter is one of the 18; if so, you should
meet this obligation without delay: other
wise, your chapter will be deprived of
representation and our division record
marred by failure on your part. If not
already paid, general dues, 10 cents per
capita, should be sent to Mrs. A. L. Har
lan, treasurer Alabama division U. D. C.,
with instructions to credit to your chapter
lor general dues for 1914.
As soon as credential blanks are re
ceived they will be transmitted to chapter
presidents. According to the general U..

follows: One to chairman of credentia
committee, Mrs. S. C. Wallis, Savannah
one to your state president, and one to b<
carried by your chapter delegation tu tin
Savannah convention. These blanks mus
reach me before November 1, since 1 air
required to send them to the chairmar
of credential committee 10 days befori
the opening of the convention.
Please follow the foregoing instructions
carefully, that there may be no disap
pointments and that no inpleaSiant com
plications may arise.
Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, our beloved
ex-president general, is chairman of rebel
committee, and asks ftr a contribution
of $1 from eacli chapter lor general re
lief work. A like amount is solicited
for Mrs. Trader, who gave her all for thi
Confederate cause, and now, In her old
age is dependent upon the generosity and
mercy of others. Alabama would like to
report a liberal contribution to both these
funds at Savannah.
Mrs. Ed Hausman, chairman of our
state relief committee, has entered ac
tively into the spirit of her work. She
has received a very urgent appeal lor
assistance from an uffllctud Confederate
soldier whose worthiness and need she
lias fully Investigated and found him en
tirely worthy, and his needs urgent and
immediate. Conditions In his home pre
vent him going to Soldiers' Home. Mrs.
Hausman asks that each chapter In the
stale contribute at least »i for the re
bel of those in Alabama bound to us
by Confederate ties. Permit your presi
dent to suggest that you begin your U.
Li. C. year with these three contributions,
of $1 each, and thus •make relief for the
helpless and dependent our first consid
eration, as it should ever be.
MrB. Charles Martin, Alabama’s director
for Shiloh, is very anxious to carry a
good report to Savannah. Will you assist
her to do so by meeting your obligations
Cor Shiloh before October 26? Her suc
cess will depend upon your co-opera'ion,
and we beg that you do your best for
Shiloh.
Among the scholarships published for
1914-15, is the Sable Jones Memorial
scholarship. That no misunderstanding
of the financial status of this scholarship
may arise, as a result of its being adver
tised us open for applicants, 1 submit
tlic following statement: Total contribu
tions for Sable Jones scholarship for the
past three years amount to $835. Of tills
amount $7.i3 lias been hearing 8 per cent
interest since January. At that time we
had only $575 oh hand for this fund, but
jour president borrowed $178 that she
might take adj’antage of a very desirable
loan. This loan has been repaid ano in
addition we now have $32 uninvested. In
terest on the fund will amount to $60.40,
which will he applied to beneficiary’s ex
penses for 1914-15, and the difference will
he contributed by a lew chapters who
are especially Interested In having this
scholarship placed for 1914-15. We make
this explanation, that no complication
may arise because of any misunderstand
ing of its financial status. Otherwise,
the fact that It has been published as
open to applicants may 1 ad to the con
clusion ttiat it has been completed and
that it will not be necessary to meet the
pledges made at Tuscaloosa. The scholar
ship committee expects you to meet these
pledges, and you will not disappoint them
1 know. Those who failed to redeem
pledges, amounting to $134, made at Cam
den, have been notified, hut no additional
payments have been made. Moreover,
these pledges have been considerably re
liuced by chapters notifying committee
that pledges accredited to them In Cam
den minutes were not made iiv them
or their representative, and • hat they
could not, in view of other obligations
pay the amount accredited to them!
Hence, it is most necessary that pledges
made at Camden and Tuscaloosa be paid
ill full.
All chapters are reminded, too, of their
obligation of $1 for maintenance of Ala
bama room in Confederate Memorial
Museum. Richmond. Chapter presidents
ire requested to solicit life memberships,
UO each, ill tills Memorial association
riie Income from life memberships will

lie urge that you begin getting up these
ecords without delay, that we may, In a
neasure, atone for our lack of Interest
n this Important matter in the past, I
vould suggest that chapter historians
idopt this as a part of their definite
vork for 1914-15. With the cu-operatlon
if veterans, chapter presidents and re
orders, who have kept a record of the

j HELPING HAND HINTS FOR THE HOME
| ———————-—-—-' ....
* By MARION HARLAND
sweet t ucumner ncKie
"Can you give me a recipe for small
• sweet cucumber pickle that will retain
their green color and crispness?
"ELINOR C."
I hope you read the recipe printed
last week? I covered the ground so well
that it is wholly unnecessary to repeat it.
i "Cucumbers to the front!’” is the cry
l at present—probably because it is the
height of the season.
Canning Small Cucumbers
"I send a recipe for canning small cu
cumbers. It is a splendid way and I have
used it for several years: Gather them
small and wash well; put Into fruit jars
and cover with salt water six or eight
hours; drain and pour boiling vinegar on
them, leave over night. In the morning
pour off the vinegar and heaf to boiling.
Put spices on the pickles and then over all
pour the boiling vinegar until the jar is
overflowing. Have the rubbers hot and
heal. They are ready when needed. They
are excellent. MRS. A. M. C.”
1 hear for the first time of canned cu
cumbers. To me they would rather come
under the head of pickles. May I ask the
contributor if they require no soaking to
extract the salt before covering with
, boiling vinegar? As Miss Rosa Dartle
puts it, "I only ask for information.”
Wants to Can Peppers
"Will you kindly oblige a reader of
your Corner by publishing a recipe for
canning peppers? IDA M. M.”
The run upon peppers bids fair to rival
that upon cucumbers of which I spoke
awhile ago. I have never seen or heard
of canned peppers until now. Unless you
refer to pimentoes. which are imported.
If any housewife can tell us how to can
our native garden peppers, we shall be
her grateful debtors.
Pickled Green Peppers
"Can you send me a recipe how to
pickle green peppers? I mean to stuff
them. Also green tomatoes, stuffed and
pickled. Please send me the recipes as
soon as you can. I am almost ready to
pick the peppers. MRS. A. G.”
From another member comes the re
iteration of the request for methods of
putting up peppers for winter use. How
does this suit you? Peter Piper’s Pickled
Peppers—Cut slits in the sides of large
green peppers and extract the seeds. Lay
in a strong brine for three days, and in
historical evening at the Bessemer con
vention. Scrap books uniform with those
used by general United Daughters of the
Confederacy and Alabama division are
preferable, and can be secured from
McGregor & Co., Athens, Ga., at very
reasonable prices.
Copies of Mrs. Leigh's address, "Ala
bama in the Making of the Nation,” deliv
ered at Tuscaloosa on historical evening,
can now be secured at 25 cents each
of Mrs. A. L. Harlan, treasurer, Alex
ander City.
The minutes of Tuscaloosa convention
will soon be issued. Let me urge that
you read your minutes and constitution.
Read especially the page of information.
If you want information, first seek It on
that page, and thus save much unneces
sary correspondence.
In the death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
the south lost one of her purest, noblest
characters. Every daughter I know, felt
deeply for President Wilson in his gTeat
sorrow, and as your representative, I tele
graphed expressing your sympathy for
him in his grief, and admiration for her.
This is the message he asks me to con
vey to you: “The President deeply appre
ciates your message of of sympathy, and
begs that you will express his sincere
gratitude to those associated with you.”
Once more, dear daughters, I beg your
active, earnest co-operation for the causes
we hold sacred. May we each be thank
ful for the gifts of labor and responsi
bility realizing that life is a great gift,
labor a gfierat prvllege and responsibility
God’s,seal of commandation on our lives.
Sincerely yours,
ELIZABETH B. BASHINSKY,
President Alabama Division United
Daughters of the Confederacy.

TEA TABLE TALK
Mr. and Mrs. V. W. Long have in
formation that their daughter, Miss
Louise Long, who was in Europe when
the war was declared, will soon land
in Montreal. She was in London when
last heard from and it is supposed
sailed from Liverpool. Miss Long was
one of the iinfortunate American tour
ists who was not allowed to write
from Germany because of her Inabil
ity to wrrite German. Her mother a
few days since received a letter writ
ten for her by a resident of Cincin
nati, who gave encouraging news of
her safety. In many respects Mi§s
Long’s visit W'as a disappointment be
cause of the closing of art galleries
and in several places, atfnong them
Dresden. £he was forced to remain at
her hotel for sometime before she
could get away from the city. Her
party suffered many Inconveniences,
even hardships, but they are expected
to land safely in Montreal In a few
days.

.Mrs. Ola Roden-Redin is another fa
vorite of Birmingham society about
w'hom many friends and relatives have
been anxious this summer. She sailed
[from an European port last Thurs
day and is expected to land in New
York within the next few days. Mrs.
Redin was residing in Paris when war
was declared. She was educating her
lovely litlle daughter in a convent
♦ here They are both returning home.
Their plans are not yet known and
little is known of their life since the
German advance on Paris. Many anx
ious inquiries have been made at the
home of her mother, Mrs. Ella Roden,
W’ho was most anxious about their
•safety. A friend who has traveled with
Mrs. Redin and knew of Mra. Roden’s
anxiety several weeks ago said to her:
"Don’t w'orry about Ola. If there is
a man or woman in Europe W’ho can
manage for herself and come out all
right it 1s Ola Redin. I have traveled
v.’ith her extensively and I know how
clever and ingenious she is.” After
this many have been the stories of
returning friends about her helpfulness
and executive ability, her tact and
diplomacy in assisting Birmingham
friends In getting away from the vfrar
zone.

Mrs. Jack Rowron, who has spent the
summer at eastern resorts, w'ill remain
in New York until the landing of the
vessel bringing Mrs. Redin over.

Mr. and Mrs. John P. Ttillman, who
have been abroad this summer, are
not expected home for several davs
yet.

An interesting story was told a few
(days ago by a Birmingham woman W'ho
has just returned from New York of
the popularity of Mr. Ed Miles’ dances.
As Is already known, five of his beau
tiful dances w'ere accepted by the As
sociation of Dancing Masters this
summer. "Among other pleasant fea
tures of my New' York visit,” remarked
the Birmingham woman, "was a lit
tle dinner party at one of the most
exclusive cafes in the metropolis.
When the eabere started there wras an
enthusiastic clapipng of hands, then
another dance, and still another. The
cheering continued until a gentleman
seated In another corner of the room
com water for one. Have ready tbit
mixture: Eight talrtespoons of miucec
white cabbage, four of English mustarc
seed, a teaspoon of celery seed, two tea
spoons of chopped onion, a teaspoon eaen
of grated horseradish, whole peppercorns,
and ground mace, half teaspoon of ground
mustard and a heaping tablespoon ol
brown sugar. Moisten to a paste with
salad oil and stuff the peppers with it,
closing the slit upon -the stuffing and
binding each into shape with soft cotton
string. Pack into a stone crock and cover
with scalding vinegar to which has been
added a half cup of brown sugar. Cover,
and leave for a week. Then drain off,
scald the vinegar, and return to the
crock. Fit a tight cover upon this, and do
not use the pickles under six months.
When ripened they are tine. Green toma
toes may be prepared and treated In the
same wuy.
Baked Bell Peppers
"Never having seen the recipe for
baked bell peppers, a popular dish In my
family, I venture to send it In: Split four
line green peppers lengthwise and extract
the seeds. Take care not to let the seeds
touch the sides of the peppers and handle
them gingerly, lest they Inflame your
Angers, Lay them in boiling water for
one minute and spread upon a cloth to
drain. Have ready two large boiled and
mashed white potatoes, two tomatoes cut
small, and a can of potted meat or Ash,
as you prefer. Mix all well together, sea
son to taste with salt and onion juice. It
should be a thick paste. Fill the sides of
the peppers with it and set them in a
shallow bake pan with just enough water
in the bottom to keep them from burning.
Turn another pan over them and bake.
They are nice: I should like to have a
good recipe for old-fashioned shortcake.
1 will send other recipes soon.
"MRS. R. L. B."
"We,” to are fond of your "popular
dish." I recognize In it what we call
stuffed peppers on the half shell." The
next time you serve them try substituting
weak stock, made by diluting gravy with
water, for ttje water In the pan. When
the peppers are done, take them up and
keep hot while you thicken the liquid
left In the pan with browned peppers. Ycu
will And It a pleasing variation of the
dish. This is a good way to use up left
overs of cooked meat or Ash. Will the
housemother who has the recipe for old
fashloned shortcake reply to the request?
Clam Chowder
"The clam, the strawberry of the sea,
with Its positive flavor. Is a favorite with
those fond of sea food. Having affiliations
with those of Cape Cod stock, descended
from generations of masters of ships, I
stepped forward and bowed. I recog
nized Mr. Miles and then, of course,
knew the dances which I had not seen
before were some of those originated
by him. They were lovely and their
author quite the lion of the hour."

mingham housekeeper attends to her
(Continued* on Page Eleven)
| have been told that the inclosed recipe
! comes nearer their memories of genuine
clam chowder than anything else called
such. It requires good judgment and a
little painstaking. If I buy clams in the
shell I generally fatten them by putting
salt and cornmeal on them, in a pan of
water, and am rewarded by having them
furnish more liquid than if just taken out
of storage. Salt perk, onions, potatoes,
crackers, milk and clams (qua-hogs, round
clams). Cut slices of fat pork into thin
strips, enough to fry onions, but not to
brown them. Fry sliced, raw potatoes,
but don’t brown. Have equal quantities
of potatoes and crackers. After frying
potatoes and onions, coveV with water
and clam juice from the chopped clams,
and let all simmer until tender. Then put
in the clams to heat, hut not to boil, as
that toughens them. Lastly, put in the
crackers, previously soaked in milk. Keep
hot. but not hot enough to curdle. Salt,
if necessary, and thin to suit. *
“CONSTITUENT.”
Oysters m^y he fattened in like manner
in the shell, and soft shell crabs are the
better for the process. Many thanks for
your excellent and seasonable formula for
the ever popular dainty. Thanks that
are the heartier because the recipe is
typewritten upon one side of a sheet or
paper, and not scrawled in pencil upon 1
scraps that inay have been torn from a
butcher's bill.
‘ Will you please send me your recipe
for mixing mustard? My cook book is
stored, and I cannot get at it.
"MRS. M. B. W,"
Rub your tablespoons of dry mus
tard to a smooth paste with two table
spoons of salad oil. It will be stiff,
but make it smooth. Now beat into
this enough vinegar to bring it to the
consistency of rich cream. Whip into
tills a small teaspoon of paprika, the
same of white sugar, and a dash of
strained onion Juice. This will keep
(bottled) for months in a cool place.
We prefer It to the finest French mus
tard. Beal hard until it is light. It
will be lighter in color for the beat
ing, and better in flavor. After 10
years' experience with the above prepa
ration of mustard I boldly recom
mend it to sister housemothers.
Bran Muffins
"I inclose a recipe for bran muf
fins: Two eggs, well beaten; three ta
blespoons molasses, one teaspoon salt,
two cups sweet milk, one cup whole
wheat flour, two cups bran, two tea
spoons baking pdwder. Yours in truth
and love. j •>
I thank you for the contribution to
our store of recipes for bran breads,
likewise—and emphatically—for add
ing, “in truth and love." The muf
fins needed no further sweetening.
Canned Sweet Corn
‘‘Will you please send me the recipe
how to can sweet corn? I am enclos
ing a stamped envelope for reply. 1
have been watching the Corner for this
recipe, but so far have not seen it.
“MRS. J. R. S.”
We have explained by letter why tile
recipe was not sent you. It is a hard
and fast rule with us, not to send such
by post. Boll the corn upon the cob
until the grains are tender. Remove
from the fire and cut quickly from
the cob with a sharp knife. Return
to the kettle, cover with boiling water
in which the ears were boiling, bring
to a hard boil, and can in the usual
way. Have Jars and covers sterilized
and fill with the corn from the kettle,
the Jars standing up to their necks
in boiling water. Fill them to over
flowing, fit on the rubbers, and screw
down the tops as the Jatrs are ready—
taking one at a time as It is filled from
the kettle. Corn is proverbially more
difficult to keep after canning than
any other vegetable. You cannot be
too careful in having it actually boil
ing when it goes into hot jars. Wrap
the jars in thick paper when they are
cold and keep in a cool place. Right
darkens the corn.
Recipe for Chili
“Will you kindly send me the recipe
for chili? It is a Mexican dish.
“MRS. A.'' ]
I had begun to write a recipe for
chili sauce, when I remarked your i
reference to it as “a Mexican dish.” i
I fancy you mean chili con carnl, which 1
Is a different affair. Please let me
know which of the two you wish to ’
get, and you shall have it. The for- 1
mula for chili con carnl has appeared i
many times in the Corner.
Mere Man's Sudden and Weird
Knowledge of Women's Clothes
Br DOLLY DALRVMPI,*
It is entirely too warm to get excited
about such things," Sally Bugg protested
as Billy Bunting waxed eloquent on the
subject of "woman and clothes.”
Yes, I know that, of course,” said that
delectable gentleman quickly, "but why
do women allow themselves to be made so
uncomfortable In this kind of weather?
It s still summer—Indian summer, any
way.”
"To get ahead of the other women,”
said Sally Bugg candidly. "That's all,”
They were sitting out In front of one of
the popular “drink" places In a big -uto
mobile as the crowd surged by after the

exhaustion,” protested Billy Bunting as
he indicated a remarkable figure that
passed dressed in a heavy winter broad
cloth tailor-made gown and velvet hat. “I
bet she wouldn’t be any hotter in her own
kitchen cooking dinner for'20 people than
she is right now buckled up in that winter
suit in September.’’
“I know,” Sally Bugg said plaintively.
“A rtf^ro man can't realize her position,
but she is actually getting more satis
faction out of strutting around in that
new winter outfit than the Kaiser is out
of the European war.”
‘‘You wouldn’t admit it for the world.”
Billy Bunting said seriously to his com
panion, ‘ but you women are perfect geese
thus to play to the hands of your ene
mies, the dressmakers, the tailors and
the shopkeepers. Time was when you had
but two seasons to wrestle with the
2I0 nes problem, but now somehow there
a season every two or three weeks.
Why, a woman thinks ^he's disgraced if
3he wears her straw hat after September
10, no mtater what the weather's like,
ind a winter hat after March 15 is worn
with an air of apology to the world at
iarge for such defiance.” (
‘‘But it’s such a harmless amusement,”
Sally Bugg insisted.
‘‘I warrant that the husbands of these
silly women who do such things don’t
;hink so,” Billy Bunting protested. “The
narried men I know tell me that it is a
serious business, this increase in worn- 1
‘n’s wardrobes.”
“I thought men were too broadminded
o say such things,” Sally Bugg defied.
‘‘The worst of the whole thing is,” Billy 1
Bunting informed, ‘‘that the women don’t «
[now what they are missing. They ought, <
f they wish to please the men, cling to i
vhite frocks as long as they can, for a '
nan thinks a woman looks her very pret- t
iest in all white—pure and stately as a !
ily.”
‘‘Then O. Henry’s story of the girl who 1

ets’ doesn't appeal to you, eh?” asked :
•ally Bugg.
“To me individually, yes, but to men col
lectively, no! I would say," Billy Bunting
replied. “But white-”
"Yes, the old-time white muslin frock
and the blue sash and the rose-in-her-hair
kind,’’ scoffed Sally Bugg,, “is preferable
to the saucy, mfughty, present-day type
with the gay little bonnet with the 'oh
kiss me good-by effect,’ I suppose ”
"Exactly that,” said the man impa
tientij. * i m sure your dear siifTraKist

"Now. don't get personal, for goodness

It "worse than glaring, I suppose you
think, said Sally Bugg lpdignantly. "It s
probably flambuoyant in your estimation
because it's gray Instead of black.”
Billy Bunting merely held his tongue.
“The shape is very becoming, to say the
least of It. don't you think?” Sally Bugg
Insisted.
“Very, but my dear girl, why did you
select such remarkable decorations?" he
asked quickly, as he gazed at the sicklv,
uncurled plume, that dangled from the
side of the bonnet in a most insecure and
apparently untidy manner. "Your bon
net has tile effect of being worn inside
out. Is that correct?"
1 ou don t like it, then,” she snapped
vigorously.
"Do you like it yourself?” asked the
mere man, quizzing her unmercifully.
"Well, yes I do, with reservations,'' said
Sally Bugg quickly. “Of course, it’s styl
ish—that's the main thing. The top of' t
looks as barren as the desert of Sahara,
and I'm not sure that r didn't make a
mistake in the color, but it's becoming,
and that’s the main thing.”
“I can’t understand your selecting gray,
though," said the mere man, “when
you've always worn black, it brings out
every drop of Quaker blood you have in
hideous protest against the Indignity.”
“That’s it,” said Sally Bugg in the hurt
est sort of way. "They all tell me I am
clever; know all about reforms and things
like that; can do the most intricate sums

as well as any of them, but It looks like
I haven't sense enough to select a hat.
Now 'l see why you brought up this mil

it?"
Billy Bunting looked embarrassed and
tried to “hedge,’ but she cornered him
and said:
"Suppose you go with me tomorrow to
select a hat. They’ll take the one back
?ven if I Save worn it. and when Miss
farrie lets me try on the new bonnets
fou speak up like a man and say what
you like, will you?”
This was too much for Billy Bunting.
“A man, shopping with a woman for
nats and not even married to her—just
engaged," he protested vehemently.
‘Never! It’s bad enough when they are
'arted around to millinery shops aftei
hey’re married. Excuse me, please!”
