 The opening reception of the Birming- ham Athletic club Is an occasion that is always anticipated with much pleasure by society in Birmingham. The utmost in- formality prevails. but the members con- stitute themselves as hosts, and each re- ception adds to store of very pleasant memories of similar affairs enjoyed es- pecially by the younger set.
 The clubhouse last night presented brilliant scene with chandeliers twinkling from cellar to roof and lights streaming over corridors and reception rooms, which the decorators had made into places of beauty with masses of palms and ferns. A musical programme was rendered in the reception rooms on the first floor by Davidson's orchestra during the early hours of the reception, and was followed with a dance in the ballroom from 10 to 12 o'clock. There were no especial feat ures as was the case last year, when sev- eral new folk dances were introduced, but the perfect informallty of the occasion made 1t the more enjoyable. The mem bers of the club issued about 900 invita- tions to their friends and large number were present The Improvements that have been recently made in equipping the especial interest, and all were open to the inspection of the guests.

time. And really the housekeeper can- not explain her reluctance to undertake this mere detail, except to argue that it is troublesome, as if everything un- der the sun worth while weren't'
 That Is an excellent suggestion and now that you have been kind enough to give me some tips, I am going to give you some recipes and ideas as to sand wiches for I pride myself on making them very nicely" said my friend.
 "They will be an addition, I am sure. to The Age-Herald cook book, and I shall be glad to present them to my readers.'
 "In making sandwiches" continued the good housewife, If ham is used as the filling it is ground and mixed with mayonnaise and paprika and a little chop ped olive or pickle or celery into a savory filling. Sometimes chopped celery and nuts mixed with mayonnaise are used for the sandwiches, sometimes beef times swiss cheese with mustard. In every case the sandwich is wrapped neatly in oiled paper.
 Another good sandwich filling, and one which children like, consists of figs and nuts cut fine. Another is made of canned salmon and hard boiled eggs, carefully seasoned; another is made up minced, and yet another of thinly sliced bananas spread with mayonnaise."
 "As a general thing the fewer sweets there are in the lunch basket the better" !" suggested.
 ''Yes," she replied, ''but one compara- lively harmless one which many children of my acquaintance like Is make as fol- lows: Take the long, salted crackers sold at the grooer's under the name of banquet wafers, and spread them with a meringue made of the whites of eggs and sugar to which have been added some chopped pea nuts. Put the crackers spread with this mixture into the oven to brown lightly and wrap them in paper also before they go into the lunch baset'
 "All of which argues well for the fu- ture of indigestion" remarked.
 Mot nearly so bad as sending youngs- ters off," said the good housewife, day after day with bread covered with jam for their sole midday refreshment, for these things are laying up for those un- fortunate-youngsters fine cases of indi- gestion which later on will turn their cheeks yellow and make their eyes dull"
 "One thing is perfectly certain" con- cluded, that Is that an appetizing and nutritious school lunch cannot be evolved without some preparation any more than can a course dinner and the mothers who realize this early in the game are the cleYerest and Wfsest."

One of the most capable housewives I know said to me few days ago:
 ''The very mention of the name lunch basket causes my meek and lowly spirit \ to turn at once into rebellion
 "So that at this time of the year you are sort of a Rebellious Susan," l sus- gested, as I knew she had quite little brood to prepare for and school days are well initiated for the coming year.
 Exactly" she replied. "Td much rather order three meals a day for my entire household for month in advance than to prepare the lunches for my four chil- dren to take to school"
 And what makes it so hard and so unattractive?" I inquired.
 Probably because I always expect their lunches to be made up of cold meats and the crumbs that fall from the table," she responded, land invariably when I begin to search for these things I find myself like Old Mother Hubbard the cupboard is bare and so the poor chil- dren get none."
 T think that the reason most lunches are messy because they are prepared in
 
 sYes" said the good housewife, land that is what I try to avoid for my children, even if it is lot of trouble. think an awful thing is to open lunch basket and find the jelly from between the biscuit has run all over the ham, and the sandwiches and the eggs are all mussy and untidy. Altogether I can scarcely blame even the hungry child from finding the lunch rather an unap- petizing meal.'
 Perhaps I can suggest something to you that very clever friend of mine does for her husband, who is a busy lawyer, and unable to take the time for coming out on the Highlands for lunch con-" said. He is, therefore, put in the class with the school children. as he must needs sup on cold dishes from the little lunch basket"
 And he naturally would be more fas- tidious than child" replied the good housewife. "So what is he given to eat?"
 First of all let me tell you that he takes his luncheon in neat little leather case, in which he is supposed to carry briefs," I confided. His luncheon is arranged the evening before, practi- cally, and prepared with very little trouble the next morning."
 What a good idea," said my friend. 'I never have a chance to read the morning paper until after o'clock be- cause of having to prepare the four lunches for my little tots, and can never sit down and have friendly chat be- fore my husband goes to town cause I have those awful things to fix right after breakfast. So your suggestion Of arranging things the evening before comes as a blessed boon to me, assure you"
 "Now then. my clever friend. besides arranging the edibles the evening be- fore, makes the piece de resistance for her husbands luncheon a delicious sand wich of some sort.'
 But they get so dry and tasteless," complained the good housewife.
 Mot at all," replied, If you take the precaution this woman does"
 "And what Is that?" was the inquiry.
 Merely wrapping them in paper" I said. "A thing that the average house. keeper regards as hardship. And why, I do not know when the paper is so cheap, and the wrapping takes so short

MRS. MORGAN ENTERTAINS
 FOR MISS ALABAMA KING.

Miss Alabama King was the honored guest at a luncheon given yesterday by Mrs. Barnes Morgan The party included only the hostess, her guest of honor and the matrons of honor and maids.
 Mrs. Morgan is always an artistic hos tess, and yesterday her luncheon was sone of the prettiest affairs that she has ever planned. The autumn idea was pre- dominant. Green and white made an ef- fective color scheme, grapes, both green and in the rich pink tint, making a grace full fruit motif, which in combination with clusters of lilies of the valley was not ably pretty. The centerpiece on the large round table, about which the guests gath cred. was huge basket of grapes rest ing on large mirror, itself bordered with asparagus ferns. Sprays of delicate lilies were intermingled with the grapes and a bow of white tulle was caught on the basket handle. A rich cover of Cluny lace was spread over the table. The grape suggestion was followed throughout the luncheon, the first course of which was a green grape salad, and the last of the 10 was ices frozen in the grape form. The places of the guests were marked with brides slippers, bearing little clusters of lilies of the valley.
 Mrs. Morgan received her guests wear ing a smart green costume of rajah silk in the reseda shade and becomingly braided.
 The guests included Miss King, Miss Helen Rosa Randolph, Mrs. Richard Ram dolph, Mrs. Henry Badham, Mrs. Leon- ard LeBaron Lyons of Mobile, Mrs. w. B. Kelley of Montgomery. Miss Mary Lanier, Miss Grace Hardie. Miss Helen Benners, Miss Sadie Gillespy and Miss Avis Ehr-

PARTY FOR CHILDREN.

Little Miss Earlyne Reynolds enter tained 35 of her friends at her home, 1124 South Eleventh street, yesterday aft ernoon very happily from 4 to 6 o'clock. AS each guest entered the Reynolds homo they drew a clover leaf cut from green cardboard which was numbered. After all arrived they were invited into the living room and the dinning room, where six letters corresponding to the num- ber on her clover leaf were fastened on curtains, tables and elsewhere in the rooms. After all had found their six let ters they were asked to form a word, an interesting spelling game. The first to spell her word correctly was Miss Leila Robinson and the little hostess presented her with the first prize.
 The girl holding the one four-leafed clover won the good luck prize. Miss Seina Robinson was the fortunate one to capture it. Another feature was an anagram game with the name of the hos tess, "Earlyne," written on pink hearts tied with ribbon. The largest number of words with the letters in "Earlyne'' was made by Miss Carrie Yates, who won the second prize. Those present were: Miss Leila Robinson, Miss Carrie Yates. Miss Julia Shackelford, Miss Laura Dee Dick erson, Miss Hattie Cullom, Miss Caroline Garrett.

Rapid FLIGHTS.

We are getting motor wild. We are
thinking that going fast Is the chief
end of life. Here is a man in New
York who claims he has invented a
vehicle that will go a million miles a
minute; that is, when 1t gets in good
running order. At the start, he pur.
poses to go from New York to Chi.
cago in 80 minutes. And then some.
time he will go to Mars in 140 min
utes.
He purposes to do this In a motor
worked on the principle of centrifugal
force. There are no wings or propel.
lers to this vehicle. 1t is simply a
p~rojectile. Such speed will beat the
planets. 1t will keep up with a comet,
and run around 1t, and guy it for being
so slow. The inventor might get 1t
ready to accompany Halley's comet.

next year. Very interesting such a
flight would be. It would make the
Wright boys medals worth not 80
cents.
Yes, we are getting very fast; too
fast, ever on earth. without poster
ing the skies. Our brainworks are
keyed to our legs and we had better
be careful.-Columbus CO., Journal.

COMMISSION THE THING.

Gronna arrived from Washington, D.
c. He IL one of the most persistent
of the anti-Aldrich men and his views
on the tariff are interesting.
Il am thoroughly convinced that
the United States should have a tariff
commission" he said. Although al
ways an advocate of such a commits
sion, the session just closed has re-
suited in my opinion on the subject
being o firmly formed than ever
before.
1T 10 only by q tariff commission
that we will be able to get the right
kind OF a tariff. The schedules should
be arranged by men who have made
4 thorough study Of the situation and
not by trades, as it. is now made. The
tight is local and the trades that are
made determine the fate of this or
that schedule.
Germany has made wonderful adj
vances in the matter of tariff reform.
Her commission, having the power of
liking the schedules, is always at
work. If changes in any certain
schedule are found advisable, all that
is necessary is for the commission to
make the change, and nothing is ever
said. The country does not suffer from
business depression, but everything
goes along as though nothing had
ever happened. and that ia as It
should be.
Il opposed the measure Just passed
largely because of the fact that the
tariff commission provision was
stricken from It,"

Yards Destroyed.

Minneapolis. Aug. 9.-Two men
were killed by q live wire and q third
had his hands severely burned as a
result of a fire in lumber yards be-
tween Minneapolis and st. Paul.
The men were leaning against .
barb wire fence and watching the fire
when an electric feed wire fell to the

its fasteings. In falling 1t came in
contact with the barb wire and sent
a charge Of 1900 volts of electricity
through Gust Walstrom. aged 81 and
Charles Baker. aged As, killing them
instantly. E. Peterson escaped with
sever burns on his hands.
The fire destroyed the yards of the
Minnesota Transfer and the H. B.
Waite Lumber companies. The H.
B. Waite company Is the heaviest los.
er. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000. The fire started from sparks
thrown out by a passing locomotive.
The loss Of the H. B. Waite COM
pany will amount to about 100000,
two-thirds of which is protected by
insurance. The Minnesota Transfer
Lumber company's loss will also
amount to around 100000, but it could
not be learned whether protected by
insurance or not.
