J udge Weir Gives Annual Sugar Party

Presides Over Bubbling Kettle for 45 Family Friends.

He doesn't depend on any- | one else to prepare it; he does the | boiling himself. | For as many years as he can re- | member, Judge Weir has taken part {in the maple sugar tapping in | Trumbull County in Ohio, and for at | least 20 years he has had an. an{nual sugar party. Last night he in- | vited 45 guests in to share in his | custom. "Eaten With Nuts

| He hasn't missed a year going | | back to his boyhood home to help |in the tapping dnd to bring back | gallons of sirup he prepared him- | self. Last night, enveloped in a | white apron, he presided over a | bubbling kettle of sugary liquid, dip- | ping it out and pouring it over great chunks of ice. Newcomers to the party followed the example set | by the old-timers; as the sirup belean to harden, they wrapped it around forks and ate the amber col- | ored delicacy with slices of oranges | or salty nuts. “Down in the country the folks don’t have ice and they pour the sirup in cold well water or snow, , Swishing it about until it hardens,” { Judge Weir explained. ‘Some like | to mix it with other ingredients and make taffy, but I prefer the natural | avor.” ‘ | The boiling hot rivulets of sweetness melted crevices in the ice be- | fore the guests could twist it about | their forks. Mrs. Weir had bright colored crepe paper aprons for the guests, who also munched on pralines | Judge Weir brought back with him from the Sugar Festival, held at | Chardon, O., last week. He has attended this annual festival for three seasons. The buffet table was arranged with figurines made of sugar. Murals on the wall reproduced sugar camp scenes.

Sends Sirup to Sons

Every year Judge Weir sends sirup to his son, Maj. John Weir, an instructor at West Point, and his daughter, Mrs. Cyril Cass, Hartford, Conn. As children they accompanied him on his annual pilgrimages to the sugar camps. “I like tqggo out to the camps late at night and watch the dawn come up and listen to the larks and | whippoorwill welcome the morning.”

Furs Next Venture

Three years later New Yorkers again read of Mr. Astor's commercial efforts. This time he advertised for fur pelts and also mentioned that he “has for sale a quantity of Canada beavers and beaver coating, raccoon skins and raccoon blankets, muskrat skins.” By 1791 fur trading had triumphed over the arts. Pelts, and not pianos. were Jacob Astor's stock in trade. The profit from furs went into real estate, which offered a quick return on the investment in a city
