Special Correspondence.
~T EW YORK, March 14.-The
III present styles are admirably
~ suited to the needs Of the
young matron. Looseness of fit is ev-
erywhere feature of the moment, and
the fall of lines from the bust, which
the short-waisted effects entail, are be-
coming to every figure.
Ready-made toilettes for maternity
wear are excessively dear, and nine
times out Of ten they are inadequate.
The same .ineffciencies apply to the
corsets and boned waists provided, so
it has come to be the thing to have
these garments and toilettes made to
order.
A private dressmaker gives some
excellent advice as to the general
lines needed to effect good appear
ance. The only skirt which can be
worn with any degree of comfort and
good effect Is shirred a. finger deep all
round. It is, besides, long enough tc
toilettes built on empire lines are best
Of all, the odd skirt and regulation
waist not lending itself always tx
good results. The shoulders Of thu
empire gown should also be built out
widely, even to an exaggerated ex
tent; the skirt be gathered very full
and the short bodice effect be finished
at the front with a wide, soft bow
and streaming ends, placed at the bus
line. An empire dress, the skirt O.
which is shirred or finely plated t.
the short waist, is a very Disgusting
and stylish model. Even the sleeve

being much more desirable thai

pire coats are in nowise different fro1
general styles, except perhaps tha'

with the complaint that "our cook
cannot serve kidneys as we get them
at the club.'' Miss Farmer gives these
two recipes for kidneys as well-known
club chef prepares them: Order veal
kidneys with the suet left on. Trim
them, split, and broil ten minutes over
clear fire. Serve on toast with melted
butter, salt, cayenne, and little lemon
Juice poured over them.
!. i. \
More alluring still are kidneys cooked
ten minutes in brown stock, drained,
and sliced. Put alternate slices of kid
ney and thinly sliced bacon on skewer,
with a mushroom cap at each end. Broil
until the bacon is quite crisp, and ar
range on toast. Stir together a table
spoonful Of -four and the same quality
of butter, cook and thin with the brown
stock in which the kidneys were boiled.
Season, and just before serving add
tablespoonful Of sherry or Madeira.
!. !. !.
Here is club pudding: Mix the juice
of four oranges and two lemons. Whip
pint Of heavy cream and add to it
cupful Of chopped walnut meats. Sweet
en- and favor and mix with the fruit
Juice. Fill a mould with the mixture
and pack in salt and ice for at least
four hours.
There are some hroiled dishes which
are not broils at all in the strictest
sense. Sardines and bacon are among
them. It is not practical to broil ba-
con over Goals, as the fat invariably
catches fire and the resulting smoke and
smell is disagreeable. Sardines are also
difficult for the same reason, and also
because they break easily. To broil
sardines, drain them carefully and lay
on brown paper in the oven until they
are hot. Lay each sardine on a finger
slice of toast, squeeze lemon juice over,
and sprinkle with finely chopped pars-
ley. Bacon should be placed on wire
broiler and put in hot oven over a
dripping pan.

NEW BUILDINGS ASSURED COLUMBUS

The prospect for unusual activity
in the building line within the next
year in Columbus could not be better
and as a result of the new buildings
assured and projected there will be
a strong demand for mechanics and
laborers in all lines. Contractors are
already preparing for a good volume
of business, and carpenters, masons
and painters, and all whose occupa-
tion is associated with buildings and
improvements. are looking forward
to season of unusual prosperity.
To enumerate all of the buildings
which will go up in this city within
the next twelve months is an impos-
sibility, for many of those contem-
plated are matters of secrecy for the
present, their promoters not caring
to take the public into their conf
dsnce this early in the matter. But
while this is true. 1t is also true that
The Columbus dispatch., 1906-12-09

there are number of handsome
commercial and public structures
which are assured within the next
year.
To begin with, the Federal post
office building is a certainty. The
appropriation has been secured for
it. and certainly within the next few
months the site will be selected, the
ground will be broken, and this hand
some structure, which is to fulfill the
wants of Uncle Sam, will be in course
of construction. The cost of this
building is to be forty thousand dol
lars.

Banking Company and the First
State Bank makes larger and more

OF INTEREST TO THE FRATERNITIES

The fall ceremonial of Hamasa
Temple, 4. \. o. y. NJ. S, which was
held in Meridian, Miss, on the 21st
OF the past month. attracted Shriners
from all sections of the State, and
Columbus fez-weaIers were also in
the festivities. The ceremonial con
sisted of the usual parade, the jour
ney across the hot sands and the
banquet and il was in the hands of
capable committees who carried out
every arrangement for the success of
the occasion with perfection. The
ceremonial which was held at Me
ridian recalls the fact that Columbus
has not had ceremonial for a mum
Der OF years. and il is more than prob
able that one viii be held here in
the spring. Since the last hot sand
pilgrimage" in this city, a large mum
ber Of the Masons OF this city and
section have become eligible for
membership in the Shrine. and If the
meeting is held here in the spring it
is certain that a number of novices
can be obtained from the large towns
surrounding us, as well as along the
lines Of tLs' NJ. & O. and Southern
Railroads Local Shriners have the
matter under consideration, and Ha-
mast degree team viii in all proba
bility visit this city before before the

tel facilities and the remodeling of
the Gilmer. which il is believed will
be undertaken before many months,
it is more than probable that Colum-
bus will have the honor of entertain
ing the grand bodies of the secret
orders of the State certainly within
the next few years. The Grand Lodge
of Masons. the Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows, and the Grand Lodge of Py-
thians. as we'll as Head Camp M
of the Woodmen of the World, are all
looking toward Columbus as a suita-
Bile place for the assembly. Local
Masons have not had the pleasure
of entertaining the Grand Lodge in a
long time, and now that their hand
some new temple is completed, they
can get the Grand Lodge for the ask
ing. The proposition was presented
at the last session of that body and
as only defeated by eight votes, the
Columbus delegation present not
pressing their claim on account of
the absence of adequate hotel facil
tiles. Now that Union Lodge has a
handsome new home local Odd Eel
lows want the grand lodge TO come
here and the local camp of Woodmen
will. in all probability, present this
city as a suitable place of meeting

Mr.. D. S. McClanahan is to build
two pretty cottages on College street
just east of Mr. Henry Terry's hand
some home. Mr.. John Elliott has
already begun the erection of a pretty
cottage on this street on the lot east
of and adjoining Mr. Frank Brown S
home.
The new school building is another
handsome structure which will be
completed before another year has
passed. This building, with its site,
plumbing and other equipment, will
cost in the neighborhood of twenty
thousand dollars.
Mr. Willis Banks is to build
handsome home on his vacant lot
on South Seventh street. Mr.. Banks
bought the beautiful Hunter Walker
building site some time ago, and in
tends building this spring.
These are some of the buildings
and improvements which are assured
and contemplated. They do not take
into account the improvements now
going on at the college, the building
of the canning factory. the erection
of the Presbyterian manse. and other
now being erected.

March 1t has been several years
since the Pythians met here, and
an invitation to again come to the
Queen City would meet with general
favor from this body. 1t will be
recalled that the Redmen wanted to
visit Columbus, but were forced to
go elsewhere, and with the conditions
which forced them to another city
removed, they would come to Colum-
bus. With the solution of our hotel
problem. which must be made at
the earliest possible moment, Colum-
bus will extend the invitation for all
OF the grand secret bodies to come
and share her hospitality.
The writer in charge of the Mis-
sissippi and West Alabama depart
ment of The Dispatch, in recent
contribution TO this paper, makes a
suggestion which strikes all Odd Eel
lows with favor-that is, for the four
lodges of this county TO have a joint
installation of officers in this city.
anu NlldA AHC ceremony bt pun
lie The election for the officers to
serve the first term OF 1907 will oc-
cur the last meeting i'm this month,
and the installation will occur at the
first meeting in January. The Grand
Master and other grand officers could
be invited TO conduct this ceremony,
and with the four lodges of the coun-
ty united the public installation
would be most interesting and inn
pressive occasion The matter will
lodge and favorable action along the
lines above indicated is expected.
On next Wednesday night. Decem-
Der the 18th, Queen City Camp No.
%, Woodmen of the World, will meet
at their lodge room on Lawyers Row
in annual session. The business of
first Importance before this meeting
will be the annual election of Off
GERS, and it is hoped and expected

will be present to express their |
,hoice in this important event. The
