T. F. W. ? ? ? The soft shadow* of a June twilight were falling. In a home representing the average American home, a woman faced the necessity of serving the evening meal for her family. She was a typical American woman, so she felt that the meal must be i attractive, daintily aerved, nutritious - and appetixing, to bulk! trUrong, healthy bodies, fitting dwelling places f for worthy characters. *4>he knew/ ? too, the meal must be measured by economy's most rigid scale.... longt er must delicious salaAj W served j each evening, however refreshing and , palatable: ^'dishes of meat were not r within re*3h of the family income. > Frozen detterts, so freely used and ? no thordilghfy enjoyed in days gona " by, were brohibited. What should ? she serve i There was no servant hi i the home, so something must be i found that could be quickly and aim1 ply prepared. ' A few moments of deliberation ^ brought a smile of triumph. One 1 dhdi should make their evening maal and that should <bc a Blackberryk Bread! v Quickly she mixed together- lVi? pints of buttermilk, a teaspoon soda, teaspoon salt, a eupfull sugar, three beaten eggs, enough sifted corn meal 1 to make a very thin batter, a tableI spoon melted butter. lastly, a quart (of fresh blackberries carefully washed ^iitnd kept unbruised or uncrushed, '{were lightly stirred into the batter 51 which was ' poured into a hot, well"j greased pan and, slowly baked until i brown. J A?bowl of sweet peas in jm.stel ool, i ors, grown out by the garden fence; was placed uj>on the 'table; soft lights j .[from candles combined beauty withl I economy. At each place, a glass of , cold sweet-milk completed the picture. L For less than three cents for the , sugar, salt and soda sufficient for a J family of six, the other ingredients J of Blackberry Bread mny be grown ,'on a medium sized lot. in town. .) After such u hieal (and it is typical ?' of dozens of others) a family may r'lie down to sleep with digestions un-1 disturbed by rich food and the homef : makers may sleep with untroubled r consciences, knowing that they and 1,not some unfortunate and too-trusting j j grocer had paid for their evening ,! meaL 1 The way that leads to the land of realized dreams is not a lhftt road, in thus case, it is only a question of i knowing how to find the berried ?! path that leads to Utopia. R- A. j i * Those interested in Camden and in ' sports (and thia covers pretty much everybody hereabouts) will make no mistake in obtaining a copy of the I May 1 issue of "Town and Country." The feature article is a splendidly '- written "story" headed "The Grand II National and The Carolina Cup," by . ' J. C. Cooley, one of the country's re' cognized authorities on Meepleohas- j ! ing. There is u fine photograph of t j the Grand National field taking the . famous Becher's Brook jump, the secjond time around, showing Kellaboro Jack owned by Mrs. Ambrose Clark, [of Aifken, the winner, and other horses. After describing this great I race, the most famous teat of steeplechasers m the world, Mr. Cooley turns to the running of The Cnrolma Cup, at Camden, the following day. There is a picture of Governor Blackwood, of South Carolina, presenting the historic old trophy to William Streett, who rode "Pmk Tipped" to victory, and a splendid tribute to the Spcringdale course and to the sportsmen responsible for it, as well n? a recognition of this year's race as a great race. Mt. O&oley truly says, "the meeting ait Camden, conducted under the sanction of the National Steeplechase end Hunt Association, is the first of the big Hunt Oup meetings of the yeeT and it is one of the most popular." He adds? "The men who put the Camden meeting on the map of sport knew how td build fair fences, brush and timber', and they knew how to place 1^0711"^ that the horses would come into IhVm at a fair angle. And from the public's point of view they took Vnt.V <lotisidorat.jon that when people g<? to see a raoe they do not want to stand entranced by a prosper of hill and lake and valley. The public have come to see a horse race, not to go into rhapsodies over the beauty of the landscape. And in that great sweep; where the -Springdale Course is situa-; ted, every .step of the various events can bo seen by everyone, which obviously is the chief requirement at these meetings, which are held in the open country whore no grandstands exist, But the CamJ|h sportsmen were singularly fortunate. h or Springdale lies fcn the sweep of a great field fringed around on thred sides with the pmen of Carolina, so that it makes a singularly attractive viata." Carroll K. Baiweot, of Camden, won the Billy Barton steeplechase at PfcnHeo a few deye ago, riding "Battleship," von at "Man o' War. * . "Battleship" ia owned by Mrs. T. H. SomerYiile, of Virginia. ... This is the third year in succession that this owner has won this important race, the ftrst time with "Annapolie" (another son of "Mun o' Wac"), last year with the French horse "Tereus" and this year with "Battleship." All three of these winners ran their ftrst race over brush on the Springdale Course here at Camden.
