Society Enjoys Balmy
 Spring Days

~ oCIETY is enjoying these balmy
 spring days to the fullest. The sub N urban clubs are centers of attrac- tion for many, and at all hours of the day, for the golf and tennis enthusiasts are out in the earlier morning hours as well as at other times. There is great deal of informal home entertaining being done for luncheon, cards or tea and few of the receptions have been especially beautiful. These gatherings at private homes are giving to the spring season delightful touch of intimate sociability that is being very much enjoyed.
 In Montgomery the golf enthusiasts latest craze is the ladder tournament. The feminine golfers are greatly inter ested and due to the efforts of Mrs. Or mond Somerville, a tournament will be open at the country club some time next week. The participants will be placed on the ladder according to their hand icap and time can only tell who will land on the top rung. In other words, it is a Jacobs ladder.
 Among those expected to qualify are some of Birmingham recent popular visitors: Mrs. Ormond Somerville, Mrs. John Inglis, Mrs Bessie K. Massle, Mrs. Katheryn Meehan, Mrs. Ward H. Strlng- fellow, Mrs. Clayton Tuliis, Miss Jean Lahey, Miss Lula Wyman. Miss Florence Harris, Miss Maud Allen, Miss Etta Jen- kins, Miss Jean Mapes, Miss Virginia Abercrombie, Miss Mildred Saffold, Miss Maude Williams, Miss Mary Betty, MISS Eunice Semmes, and three promising young school girl devotees, Miss Mary Stringfellow.

MOTOR AND COUNTRY
 CLJJR DINNER-DANCE

Social life during Lent is centered mostly in out-of-door sports and week end dances at the suburban clubs, where fashionable groups meet for an afternoon or evening of pleasure. One of the most popular of these clubs is the Motor and Country club, where the smart set dances every Thursday evening and where many little congenial parties motor out for 3 O clock tea in the afternoons.
 The club Thursday evening was the scene of much merriment and many or Birminghams charming belles and lovely matrons were present, some forming in terestng dinner parties and others mo- toring out later to enjoy the dancing.

Snarty!
From the Argonaut.

William Dean Howells, at dinner in Boston, said of modern American let ters: "The average popular novel shows, on the novelists part, an ignorance of his trade, which reminds me of New England clerk. In a New England vil- lage I entered the main street depart ment store one afternoon and said to the clerk at the book counter: Let me have, please, the Letters of Charles Lamb 'Postoffice right across the street, MT. Lamb.' said the clerk, with a polite, brisk smi,e.'

Stuffed Eggplant

T m coming to you for a recipe for a filled noodle escrolle, I think it is called. An Italian grocer tried to give it to me, but he couldn't recall all the ingredients, but he ended by saying: You write to Marion Harland; she sometimes prints it in her paper The noodles must be good, for he smacked his lips when he talked or them. l should like, also, a recipe for stuffed eggplant l.. E. G."
 At the risk of lowering my reputation with the Italian grocer and disappointing you (which is far more serious mat tef, frankly own myself ignorant of what filled noodles are. That is, do not recognize them under that name. The reader who can make up to you for this deficiency on my part is earnestly so- lcited to come forward at this juncture and make us all wiser.

Let 1t get perfectly cold, cut in half length wise and scrape out the center leaving the walls of the vegetable three-quarters of an inch thick. Chop the pulp fine and add to it small cup of minced chicken

 butter, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, add enough soup stock to make
 stiff paste and fill the hollow sides with this. When full and rounded, sprinkle the forcemeat with bread crumbs and lay
 the halves, side by side, in a covered bakepan, pouring three cups of soup stock around them. Bake nearly an hour basting every ten minutes. Remove the eggplant to hot platter, thicken the gravy left in the pan with Drowned flour. poll up once on top of, the range stir constantly, and pour this browned sauce about the base of the halved eggplant. Eggplant stuffed with tomatoes: Par boil and halve the eggplant and remove the inside as in the last recipe.

Fruit Cocktail

 There is nothing absolutely incongru- ous or unconventional in serving fruit cocktails and fruit salads at the same meal Yet it would be in better taste to substitute some other salad Cut into nice dice a fine grapegruit, a sweet nice dice fine grapefruit, and two slices of banana, and mix with them half cup of seeded and skinned white grapes. Add about a tablespoon of DOW dered sugar and set in the ice until you are ready to serve it. Fill wide mouthed chilled cocktail glasses with the mixture and lay "a maraschino cherry upon the top of each portion. At the last mo- ment pour teaspoonful of sherry into each glass All the ingredients should be ice cold. The best grocers now keep seeded and skinned grapes in cans for use ln cocktails and fruit salads. They are great saving of time to the busy housemother who cannot trust a maid to prepare these delicacies

Care of a Fern

'I should like to learn through your Corner how to take care of a Boston fern; how often does it need water and about what temperature should 1t be kept in? IN. R. e.
 Keep it in a window through which the sunshine comes in for at least a few hours of the day. and water it about three times a week, soaking the earth thoroughly. The surface should be almost or quite dry before the next watering. Too much water is as bad for the growth of the fern as all day sunshine. The room should be kept at a moderate temperature. About once month the fern should be taken into the bathroom and the pot set in the tub half full of water just tepid. The leaves must be washed gently and the plant be left in water deep enough to cover the surface, for half an hour.

life would be ours. At last, after many years, our hopes were realized, and Jim became very, very rich and the idle life started. We drifted apart; he had his own interests, his own friends-women as well as men; I had mine. Finally when the breakup came, we both saw that 1t was the idle life realized to the utmost which had spoiled our happiness. It was too late to go back then and start, for every illustion, every ideal had been shat tered, and so the divorce came"
 This is only one of many stories of idle married life which end in the same way.

Mrs. Annie Miles
Gains 29 Pounds
BY Taking TanIac
Doctored and Took Medi-
cine for 20 Years, But was
Getting Worse All the
Time = Now Welt and
Strong Again.

In describing her twenty years of
suffering and wonderful recovery by
the use Of Tanlac, Mrs. Annie Miles,
residing at 1445 Evergreen avenue,
Jacksonville, Fla, said:
II am twenty-nine pounds heavier
than 1 was when l began taking
Tanlac, and simply feel like new
woman in every way. l began suf-
fer1ng with stomach trouble and in
digestion nearly twenty years ago.
/ began doctoring and taking medi-
cine, but in place of getting better I
kept getting worse. / lost my appe-
tite and could get nothing to bring
it back. I had to almost force down
everything | would eat and nothing
tasted right to me. I suffered ter
ribly from the gas on my stomach
and my food seemed to do NE harm
in place of good. I was badly con-
stlpated and suffered with dizzy
headaches nearly all the time. [
was so nervous I could hardly sleep
and would get up in the mornings
with an awful taste in my mouth
and feeling worse than when [ lay
down at night. I kept falling off
until l weighed only one hundred
and twenty pounds and was so weak
and out Of heart / really felt like l
would never be we'll again.
Il bought Tanlac on. account Of
what one of my neighbors told me
it had done for her, and it's the
truth, l began feeling better at once
My appetite came back to me and in
just a few days I could tell | was
gaining in weight. I kept taking
Tanlac and my troubles kept getting
less severe every day. I have gone
up to one hundred and forty-nine
pounds-an actual gain Of twenty
nine p0unds-and I feel as we'll as |
did before my troubles began twenty
years ago. All that disagreeable
taste is gone, I eat hearty Of any
thing | want and. I relish all my
meals. I'm not nervous in the least
and I sleep like q child all night and
get up in the mornings feeling fine
Tanlac has made me strong and we'll
and I certainly feel very thankful
for it,
Tanlac is sold by one regular es-
tablished agency in every town.

LET PROTESTANT CANDIDATES
SHOW THEIR COLORS.

Dear Sir: Give it to those weak
kneed Protestants who haven't the
manhood to come out in the open and
define their positions on any ques-
ton. A man who fails to let the
people know how he stands in re-
gard to the Protestant cause, is not
worthy of the peoples suffrage.
Let all the Protestants come out
boldly in defence of God and hui
mainly. This is a fight directly be-
tween Christ and Satan.
Yours truly,
