Hovers Over Smart World's Activities

Birmingham for the past fortnight has
hung to the frayed edge of the summer
season. The temperature clung until yes
terday to an upper register, and home
comings being most desultory, there is
still little to suggest the approach of a
new season. The fact that a few notable
engagements have been announevd and
that several particularly important debu
tantes are promised to society this
winter furnish just now about the only
bit of verdure in our social makeup. At
the clubs the dinner parties and dances,
while augmented gradually by the home
comers, retain all their midsummer in
formality. It is suspected that the en
tertaining for the first brides of the sea
son will also be more or less informal
owing to tbe unsettled conditions of the
early autumn. The brides and visitors
always give a season its first impetus, and
although September is almost gone,^there
is not a hostess who has committed herself
to anything in the least elaborate as to
entertainment features.

A letter yesterday from a woman who
lias long been prominent in social affairs
in Washington and a keen observer of
life in the several circles in the capital
predicts that resident or nonofficial so
ciety Is on the threshold of one of the
most brilliant winters it has ever known.
She says that it is generally belielvcd
there will be newcomers who are accus
tomed to spend the season at one of the
great European capitals, and who, through
force of circumstances, will take the op
portunity to acquaint themselves with
their own. Some possibly will lease
houses for the season and others will
be in this country for shorter periods.
Apart from these tranitory newcomers,
however, there will be in several of W ash
ington’s most interesting homes new
,.u., tpir,*- ,3 who will be a part of the
season’s history. Mr. Jerome Bonaparte
and Iris bride, for instance, will open the
Bonaparte house in K street, which for
years, under the regime of Mr. Bona
parte’s mother, was so famous as a center
of brilliant social life. A number of other
young bridal couples will also fill places
of more or less influence in Washington’s
social life.

The little people over at Margaret Allen
school are to have exceedingly attractive
surroundings this winter, the primary
room having been recently renovated and
refreshed for their use. It is an attrac
tive, bright sort of place with its 10
large windows admitting a brilliant light ^
and a roof garden passage giving a pleas-1
lug view and attractive exit. Except on
rainy days, as was yesterday, an early
period of play is given at 10 o’clock for
the tiny, restless people, and in play as
well as in the first simple tasks they
are directed by two efficient teachers.
Miss Mary Weisel taught last year in
-department, and Miss Elsie McIn
tyre, who is a graduate of the Birming
ham Kindergarten Training school, and
taught two years in the public schools,
Is also in the department. Mrs. Gusen,
is teaching the youngsters music and Mr.
'Miles dancing, so the primary department
is a center of activity.

outer world, the lovely bride spoke her
vows In the midst of the cheeriest and
happiest surroundings.
An altar was made in tlie living room of

charming young lady of the brunette type.
She entered on the arm of her father,
Mr. Sinclair Bennie, who gave her in
marriage. Her wedding gown was of soft

“The 1914 Alabama State Fair Promises to Surpass All
Others In History of Association,” Says President Brown
- i...
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE
Certainly—
Everybody in Birmingham, it matters
not how they differ on other subjects,
will agree on one—and that is, that Mr.
Robert A. Brown Is one of the ‘most
popular and valuable citizens in this com
munity.
In the commercial world, in society, in
charitable enterprises. Mr. Brown Is a
dominant force, .generous, able and al
ways agreeable in any undertaking he
assumes, and as president of the Ala
bama State Fair association be is adding
new laurels to his crown for the splendid
and systematic manner in which he is
handling the situation and the excellent
results he Is achieving. 9
Air. Brown IS'one of Birmingham's big-j
gest individual assets—a young man who!
has grown up with the community, and j
who today stands for all that fine citi
zenship demands in every walk of life, j
The Fair association is to be congrat
ulated upon having so superior an offi
cer and one who is so generally liked.
It wasn’t an easy task to follow the
presidents who have gone before—Mr. J.
H. Holcombe, Air. B. B. Burton and the
others—because each has shown marked
ability in the management of the affairs
of the organization, but the mantle has
fallen on shoulders quite worthy, when
Mr. Brown took charge, for he will un
doubtedly leave a big plus mark to his
credit when the fair of 1914 Is over.
"The night that the 1913 Fair closed,"
said Air. Brown when I was chatting
with him yesterday about the opening of
the 1914 Fair next Monday and also about
his recent visit to the Louisville, Cleve
land and Nashville fairs, "the present
Fair was begun at a directors’ meeting
that evening. Many concessions were
allotted on that occasion—indeed the de
mand was very encouraging. Since that
moment the men connected with the Ala
bania State Fair association have been
busy arranging for the 1914 Fair, all of
which I may say incidentally Is due with
out compensation or remuneration of any
sort, save the gratitude that is shown by
tne citizens of this community in their
generous appreciation of our efforts.
"The present association has paid off
an Indebtedness of something like $50,000
which had accrued from other previous
efforts, and today the Alabama State
Fair association stands pre-eminently be
fore the public as the only State Fair
which, without state aid (one small ap
propriation only having been made) or
without contributions from the citizens
and merchants, is a success," said Air.
Brown.
"In comparison, how did the Cleveland,
Louisville and Nashville fairs impress
you?” I asked.
"In Louisville I was greatly impressed
by the magnificent coliseum, which they
have at their fairgrounds,” was the reply.
"It is a tremendous building, erected at a
coat of $105,000. Here the horse shows are
held and all sorts of entertainments, and
the president of the fair association told
me that the building bad up to the pres
ent time paid for Itself 10 times over.
I saw a saddle horse shown there which
won the $3000 stake, and a wealthy ranch
man from the west bought the mag
nificent animal and paid $5000 for it. He
will exhibit the horse in California for the
world’s prize for saddle horses.’”
"Would a coliseum or a building Blmilar
to the one in Louisville be practical at our
fairgrounds?" I asked.
"The owners might donate the ground
and the citizens might contribute the
funds to its building and it could be used
for conventions and meetings of all kinds
and descriptions," said Mr. Brown. "It
would be a great addition undoubtedly.
You know the object of the Alabama State
Fair association is to make It a perma
nent playground for the people of Bir
a hand-painted plate was awarded to
the player having the highest score at
the end of the gamq. A salad and ice
course was served to the following gudsts:

mingham. After the fairs each year we
want to convert the. grounds into a real
playground for the people., in Cleveland
I visited the fair which was novel in
that the idea Is still in its infancy there.
The fair ih held under tents as they have
no buildings at all yet. They had an im
mense attendance, however, and a very
good fair. In Nashville 1 was impressed
with the immense proportions of the
grandstand. It is almost twice as large
as ours, and it vv'as tilled to its utmost
capacity each time I^ivas present. Of
course in Louisville the live stock was
one of the most important feutures of the
fair. Twelve hundred head of cattle
magnificent specimens, too—were on exhi
bition."
"So much for the fairs I have attended
within the past 10 days," said Mr. Brown,
"and now for the Alabama State Fair
I want to say first of all that the woman’s
department surpasses anything I have
ever seen anywhere. Rice & Dore’s car
nival, which is a brand new attrac
tion at this year’s fair, *Ts a southern
organization, and you can judge of its
popularity when I tell you that it has
been booked from Seattle to Cleveland
consecutively since the fair season com
menced. The giant roller coaster, which
\fr. Welcher has built is a half mile track
and is one of 20 w’hich he operates in the
United States. Mr. Welcher affirms the
fact that has already been stated, that in
the 20 roller coasters which he operates,
ilso one in Toronto, where the attendance
it the fair is 1,500,000 people, and in Dallus,
Tex., where the attendance amounted to
150,000, and of course you can imagine the
number out of these who patronize the
roller coaster, he has never had an acci
dent, not so much as a pin scratch, to
my of his patrons."
"Paine’s firew'orks this year," Mr.
Brown went on to say, "will be pre

patrons, but their safety and comfort!
as Yell, and I am enthusiastic over tin*
manner in which everything is being
done.”
"And the music?” I questioned.
“The very best has been provided,”
said Mr. Brown. “JThe Hcotch High-1
lander band, under the directorship of!
Mr. Ray Smith, has an enviable repu
tation, so much so that Mr. Caruthers
has booked the band for a tour of the
country after thy fair saeson is over, j
On account of conflicting dates Mem
phis was unable to secure the Scotch |
Highlander band, and so they asked j
Nashville to allow the band to go to
Memphis for a Sunday concert, for
which they paid $1250. The Scotch!
Highlander costume-kilts and head1
dress make the band a very picturesque !
figure, appealing tcy the eyes as well as
enjoyable to those who love* music.”
“It is unnecessary to ask if you have
received hearty co-operation in your
efforts in spite of the war,” I sug
gested, “because your enthusiasm shows
that you have.”
“Unlimited and enthusiastic support
has been received from every quarter,”
said Mr. Brown, “and the board of di
rectors has not only given freely their
support and energy and time, but the
members have solicited opportunities to
assist. That the fair is one of the
greatest advertising mediums that Bir
mingham has ever had—in fact, that
Alabama has ever had—is plaintly shown
in the desire of the ‘concession’ peo
ple to come here. They have all
headed for Birmingham and the State
Fair, and they all want to come here,
which they are doing, following on the
heels of the fairs at Louisville, Nash
ville and the other big cities, showing
that Birmingham stands high in the lisl
of fair towns. I would like to have this
point understood: The fair belongs to
the people of this state—to those who
have helped and are helping to make
it a success. It is theirs, and we want
them to enjoy it, and just here it may
be timely to suggest that it is a mis
taken idea that so many have that the
fair is not as good on the opening days
as it is later in the season. We pay
for the same amount of music and the
same attractions op that day, as we do
the rest of the time, and every detail
will be in order next Monday just as
It will be on the final day of the fair.
We ought to have a record breaking
attendance next Monday. We have done
our best to make the 1914 Alabama
State* Fair Fa success, and now we of
fer it to the public for approval.”

Potato Doughnuts
“l suvv lately that one of your members
called for a doughnut recipe, but I've
been so busy I could not get to it before
now. Here is one for potato doughnut:
One cup of sugar, two eggs, one cup of
sour milk, one cup of mashed potatoes,
one tablespoon of melted butter, one
level teaspoon of saleratus, one level tea
spoon of baking powder. Mix in pinch of
salt and flour enough to roll out soft. I
have always used nutmeg, but any fla
voring may be added. 1 have made ex
cellent doughnuts with this recipe.
"MRB. E. E. H.”
Four members have answered the appli
cation for potato doughnuts. Each will
have her turn as we can make room. All
are worth printing and reading.
Bran Bread Recipe Wanted
"As my professional work prevents my
being a regular reader of the Corner,
will you kindly, at your convenience, send
me a recipe for making bran bread? With
yeast, please. I have recipe for bran
muffins, and wish to have the bread
recipe for my patients. C. E. P."
1 Issued a general call last week for
the best recipe for brand bread In the
possession of the housemother under
whose eyes the request nilligt fall. When
it comes, you shall have a gtopy by mail
and tile same will be printed In the Cor
ner. I daie not select one now from
those which have come to us from time
to time. They are of varying merits. I
prefer to wait for "the best."
Cooking Eggplant
"Please print a recipe for cooking egg
plant. Also a recipe for making cheese
at home from five to six gallons of
milk. "E. J. D."
There are various wa> s of cooking
eggplant. I published directions two
weeks ago for frying it. Scalloped egg
plant will be a pleasing change. Pare
away the skin, cut the plant into dice,
and lay in cold salt water for an hour.
Parboil for 20 minutes. Drain.-Well and
pack in a buttered bake dish with alter
nate layers of fine crumbs. Dot each
layer with butter, sprinkle with salt und
pepper, and strew with finely minched
green peppers which have been seeded
and parboiled for five minutes. Fill the
dish in this order. Cover with a layer of
crumbs wet wittf cream, dot with butter,
cover, and bake for half an hour, then
uncover and brown. A long and circum
stantia recipe for cheese making at home
appeared last month. I hope you saw It.
Baked Potato Best
"I should be pleased to get recipe for
different ways of preparing potatoes.
How can they be prepared for quick di
gestion, baked, boiled or fried? F. S."
There are, at a moderate computation,
20 ways of cooking potatoes. As to whole
someness, perhaps a baked mealy potato
is the most digestible, and fried the least
nutritious.
Beef Chop Suey
"I should like very much for you to
mail me a recipe for making beef chop
suey. We are going to get some man
darin sauce to go with it to make the
taste as near like |he Chinese chop suey
as possible. Will you also mail me some
good candy recipes, as 1 am desirous of

As you have been told by mall, we
cannot send recipes in private letters.
And I am sorry to say that I have no
trustworthy recipe for chop suey based
upon beef. If readers can supply your
demand 1 trust it will be done. Watch
the Corner for a reply. As to candies,
the number of recipes for them cannot
be covered here. I hope I do not seem
ungracious. My desire to gratify you is
sincere.
Danish Recipes
The * regular readers of the housewife's

lected and forwarded to me in a letter,
which I wish I had the right to share with
them, four recipes, with her love to the
Cornerltes, who can no more" forget her
than she can be unmindful of them. She
prefaces the treasmres thus;

For Winter Use
\\ ill you please let me know how to
put up green beans, sweet sour beans
ind chill sauce? These beans are salty.
And 1 wish them for winter use.
* "MRS. W."
1' ifty years ago I, as a novice in house
wifery, learned how to salt down sweet
orn for winter use. I supposed that can
)ing has superseded thep rimltive method.
It was tedious and the sweetness was
soaked out of the qprn' before it could be
prepared for table use. I shall cheerfully
mint replies to the request of our corre
spondent. The recipe for chill sauce is
as follows: Peel and cut up three dozen
arge tomatoes and a dozen white onions,
"hop into bits half a dozen green pep
pers, having extracted the seeds, and
Nix with the tomatoes and onions. Stir
ogether a teacup of brown sugar, five
tablespoons of salt, six teaspoons each
>1 powdered allspice, cloves and cinnamon, ,
wo teaspoons of ground ginger, and a 1
jalt spoon of paprika. Put these spices j
nto three quarts of vinegar, mix thor
Highly, and cook steadily for two hours.
