TANGO TEA TO BE
WELL ATTENDED TODAY

The tango tea at the Country club will
be the leading event of today. Bad
weather has been the cause of lessen
ing number of guests, but with renewed
interest reservations were made yester-
day and the day before for parties of
eight, 10 and 12 guests, and others smaller
in number. A number of hostesses for
this afternoon have included several men
in their invitation list SO that 1t appears
dancing men will not so distinctly monop-
olize titles to both belleship and beau
dom that has been the case for the past
two weeks.
Among those who have engaged tables
for the afternoon are Mrs. T.. ii. Cab
aniss Mrs. Phares Coleman, Mrs. e. e.
Ellis, Mrs. Lallande, Mrs. Eugene
Brown, Mrs. II. E. Stringfellow, Mrs. E.
W. Rucker, Jr., Mrs. j. j.. Frazier, Mrs.
w. G. Oliver, Mrs. Borden Burr, Mrs.
r. G. Chandler, Mrs. ]. w. Donnelly, Mrs.
Paul Chaulifoux and Mrs. Charles Lutz.
Another bit of Country club gossip that
will be of interest was the resolution
heard last Saturday night at the dinner
dance to begin removing the tables earlier
tomorrow night for the dancing. num-
ber of those present agreed that owing
to the hardness of many of the dinner
gussts in arriving at their tables the SER
vice in the dining room has Jagged until
it seriously interferes with the enjoy
ment of those who go to the club chiefly
for the dance. Twelve o'clock strikes
passing early on Saturday nights, and to
snatch a bit of extra pleasure the dinner
guests must all be at the club on time

Ways of Serving Cranberries

IT inclose two nice ways of serving
cranberries, in answer to request in
the Corner They may not be what the
inquirers want. but they are nice: Gran
berries preserved-To one quart of cram
berries use one apple, the parings of three
and three cups of granulated sugar. Quar-
ter the impaired apples and boil in one
and one-half cups of water till soft. Strain
and add the liquid to the sugar dhere
should be about one cup and boil until
they make a clear syrup. Cut the cram
berries in two, crosswise; add to the
syrup and let all simmer slowly about
one hour, till the cranberries are clear
and the syrup jellies. Don't stir If neces-
sary, lift from the bottom carefully with
a spoon. Keep uncovered while cooking
Serve cold, place in a glass dish by the
spoonful Another way is: Cranberry
punch: Stew one quart of cranberries
until soft; press through a sieve add to
the pulp the juice of three oranges, one
tablespoon of liquid from maraschino
cherries, and one cup of sugar. Cook for
five or 10 minutes. Cool and freeze in the
usual manner. On top of each cup gar

a candied cherry and a mint leaf. IL

The Southern Club Reception
A Brilliant Event of Last Night
Attended by Several HundredMany Visitors Present
Matters of Social Interest-Mr and Mrs Ross Smith Hosts
at Dinner-Mrs. stanley's Bridge-Prospective Par
ties Compliment Visiting Women-Other Notes
by MYRTLE MILES

The annual Southern club reception de-
ferred several months beyond the usual
date, apparently gathered interest because
of this fact, and almost the membership
in toto was represented last night when
for the first time the new club opened
its doors and the new era of hospitality
was inaugurated
The club since its many changes is al
most unrecognizable. Arches have been
cut where before We're dividing walls,
walls have been removed to give addi-
tional space where small apartments
were before; in short, the club building is
transformed and expressions of interest
and admiration were on every tongue last
night.
Entrance to the club was effected
through the ladies' entrance, which is one
OF the Improvements. Stationed about at
intervals on the tiled floor were bay trees
to give a festive aspect to the elevator
approach Several members of the club
were here to greet the guests as they
entered. The president of the club, Col.
II. O. Smith, with Mrs Smith and an ac-
companying coterie, welcomed the guests
IN the reception room on llle SeCuilu Hool.
The surroundings here are unusually
beautiful. The walls are covered with a
forest scene in soft grey-green Broad
arches give a view of the ball room oppo-
site, where the yellow lights threw
mellow tone over rose draperies and
ivory walls and over the gowns of richly
dressed women. and their conventionally
attired escorts.

WALDROP-HOBBS WEDDING
SOLEMNIZED IN WOODLAWN

Quite a pretty wedding took place in
Wooodlawn yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock, when Miss Mary Willie Hobbs
became the bride of Mr.. William J. Wal
drop at the home of her mother. Mrs
NJ. E. Hobbs. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. W. e. Morris.
The house was prettily decorated for the
occasion with ferns and with hyacinths,
the vows being taken at an altar built in
the parlor. Only the immediate families
of both the young people were present.
Miss Hobbs gown was of white satin
with crepe de chine drapery and pearl
and lace trimmings, the veil being caught
with lilies of the valley. She carried a
shower bouquet of brides roses.
Miss Hobbs is member of the Wood

many friends here. Mr. Waldrop is a
promising young business man of this
city. They will make their home in East

Birmingham has few cleverer women
than Mrs. Jack Johnson and after a few
years experience in raising SQUADS. which
industry she has turned into a very re-
munteratlve enterprise. she is in a posi-
tion to say just what profit may be made
from this business
Few If any women want to put capital
into a business without some guarantee
of its success, and it is generally consid-
cred that raising squads is not only a
tedious task, but one that requires a tre-
mendous amount of patience and personal
attention, all of which is true as, Mrs
johnson frankly says, but with the in
domitable courage and fine capabiity for
doing anything she sets her heart and
hand to, Mrs. johnson has come out with
flying colors," making not only a good
profit from small investment. but add
ing to her plant" each year until now
she has perhaps the largest outlay for
raising healthy, fine birds of anybody in
Birmingham.

The influx of recipes for the dressing
you indicated. and after weeks of vain So
licitation for the formula, reminds one
of the breaking up of log JAM in
rivers that border numbering districts.
Were 1 to undertake the publication of
one-half that lie before me, there would
be room for nothing else in our Corner
for month to come. The oldest part of
the flood is that no three of the recipes
are alike. One is ready to ask if the
number may not, in the long run, rival
that of the islands from which the FORM

thority quoted above his apparently sup
piled the key to the enigma. All have
one and the same foundation. And many

true keynote of the successful treatment
of most all wasteful diseases is nourish-
ment. We must furnish to the debili-
tated patient a food that will rapidly feed
the starved tissues, enrich the blood and
rehabilitate the nervous system upon
whose strength and yigor all body vitality
depends. A rundown brain and spinal
nervous system demand instant attention.
The principle food of the nervous system
is PHOSPHORUS. All body nerves and
mental actions are accompanied by a
necessary combustion and burning up of
the ingredient, and eating squads does
the work. 1t furnishes the fuel, so to
speak"
II should think, then, that the market
for squads for use of that sort alone
would be sufficient to make a profitable
business" I suggested.
81 believe" said Mrs. Johnson, that
it is only a matter of a short time
now when every up-to-date doctor will
recommend squads to all convalescent pa
tients."
