Sara Mayfield (September 10, 1905 - January 15, 1979) was an American writer, journalist, and inventor.[1] Her writing included plays, novels, short stories, and newspaper articles. Mayfield attended Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. While there, she won a short-story prize in 1924, which brought her into contact with the journalist and satirist H. L. Mencken. Mencken invited Mayfield to supper at Baltimore's Schellhase Palazzo restaurant. As a chaperone, she took her friend Haardt.[4] After a lengthy courtship, Mencken and Haardt married on August 27, 1930, in Baltimore. Mayfield penned three book-length works: The Constant Circle: H.L. Mencken and His Friends; Exiles from Paradise: Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald; and Mona Lisa, the Woman in the Portrait: a Fictional Biography in addition to numerous articles for the Baltimore Sun, the Paris Herald, the New York Herald Tribune, Transradio Press, and the Birmingham News. She worked as an assistant editor at the University of Alabama Press from 1967 to 1969. In 1946, Mayfield experimented with byproducts from cotton productions. She devised a method for combining waste cellulose with water, which caused the material to harden into a durable material with marketable applications. She called the material Plasticast and incorporated a business called Southern Cellulose Corporation to develop the material's potential. Derived from a Kirkus review: Sara Mayfield was part of H. L. Mencken's "constant circle" of friends--in fact he became her surrogate father while he married another Sara who was her friend and instructor at Goucher. There has been very little in book form about the gregarious, obstreperous Sage, except for his American Mercury assistant Charles Angoff's 1956 portrait. This one is all affection and admiration, perhaps occasionally lapsing into Southern Belle Lettrism ("Zelda Fitzgerald"--"beautiful, vivacious, fascinating--made for love"). But in any case you will meet Mencken and his many, many friends, from Baltimore to Greenwich Village to Hollywood, from the soirees of the Jazz Age which were sprawling brawls to the soberer, sobering later years. And of course Sara Haardt, a gentle, independent intellectual whom he met in 1923, married in 1930 ("If I ever marry it will be on a sudden impulse, as a man shoots himself"--it was not) and who died in 1935 of tubercular meningitis. . . . [The] memoir is very alive--it could hardly be otherwise--in between Mencken, that "phenomenon somewhere between electricity and influenza" and the prodigal talent of the period. Derived from Wikipedia: Henry Louis Mencken (September 12, 1880 - January 29, 1956) was an American journalist, essayist, satirist, cultural critic, and scholar of American English. He commented widely on the social scene, literature, music, prominent politicians, and contemporary movements. His satirical reporting on the Scopes Trial, which he dubbed the "Monkey Trial", also gained him attention. The term Menckenian has entered multiple dictionaries to describe anything of or pertaining to Mencken, including his combative rhetorical and prose style. As a scholar, Mencken is known for The American Language, a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States. As an admirer of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, he was an outspoken opponent of organized religion, theism, censorship, populism, and representative democracy, the last of which he viewed as a system in which inferior men dominated their superiors. Mencken was a supporter of scientific progress and was critical of osteopathy and chiropractic. He was also an open critic of economics. Mencken opposed the American entry into World War I and World War II. He seemed to show a genuine enthusiasm for militarism but never in its American form. "War is a good thing," he wrote, "because it is honest; it admits the central fact of human nature. A nation too long at peace becomes a sort of gigantic old maid." His longtime home in the Union Square neighborhood of West Baltimore was turned into a city museum, the H. L. Mencken House. His papers were distributed among various city and university libraries, with the largest collection held in the Mencken Room at the central branch of Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library.
