MUcha Elman, the great Russian
pianist, who is to appear at ihe. Audi

auspices of the women's society of
the First Central Congregational
church does not havs to go outside
the inner circles of his home to look
for genius.
A few years ago, while practising
in his salon, he overheard his younger
sister singing some little chanson.
He recognized great ability in the un
trained voice and brottght her to a
vocal teacher who said that the voice

Since that time Elma has had the
voice carefully trained and in some
years we may expect to look to the
| heralding of as great taiejit in Miss
i Elman as that of her brother's.

Economy for the
Shopper
By Mr*. Harlan H. Allen.
Selecting a Portable Oven.
It Is one problem to buy a porta
ble oven If it is to handle all the
baking, and quite another problem
if you are looking for an accessory
oven to be used In connection with
the coal or gas range only when the
Installed oven is already In use.
The first question to answer ia,
shall It cover one or two burners on
the stove? For heavy baking like
bread, and the roasting of meat, one
usually needs for "floor” room than
can be had In a one-burner oven.
Also the two burner oven affords
more opportunity for substantial con
struction; so it will usually stand up
under hard usage better. A third point
is that a two-burner oven is more
economical of heat. There is not more
than once and a half the boxing to
keep warm in the larger one, while
It haa twice as much fire underneath.
The two fires also serve to distribute
the heat better throughout the oven,
and that is perhaps the weakest point
of the unattached oven. As a rule,
then, you can't afford to buy a one
burner oven for family use, while for
purely accessory purposes the single
burner may fill the bill exactly, and
of course It takes up less room when
not in use.
Food is more likely to bum on
the bottom in a portable oven be
cause of the light material used. To
offset this, you should select a style
with plenty of height so that both
shelves may be raised well up from
the fire. The temperature at the top
of the oven is almost as hot as the
bottom, and much more even. That’s
why pastry and other things brown
prettier up there. The matter of
height is very important, especially
when you have two shelves or racks
full of bread. For this reason, it is
best to see thst the baffle bottom
and lower rack are two separate
pieces.
If you want to spread the heat bet
ter in a low oven you already own,
buy a piece of asbestos board of a
size slightly smaller than the baffle
plate to lay upon It. This can be
purchased of any good store that
handles kitchen ware.
Tou will need a portable thermome
ter wllh an unattached oven even
more than with the range. The thin
doors do not i lose wllh equal eveness
every time, and for other reasons the
temperature Is harder to Judge accu
! rately.
j For roasting in n portable oven, an
[open pan pliould be secured. v

Problems That Perplex j
By Beatrice Kali-ax.I
A Thoughtful Man.
Dear Misti Fairfax: My fiance wants
me to meet his sister, who lives In a
small Nebraska town about 60 miles
.from here. Would it be proper for
us to go on the train alone, for such
a small journey? He should buy the
tickets, shouldn't he?
What should I say to my future
sister-in-law when we meet? ' Should
I call her "Anne” or "Mrs. D.?”
Would she expect me to kiss her?
Could I with propriety?
They are staying at a hotel. If we
have lunch before we go to their
rooms, and she wears neither hat nor
coat, shall I remove my hat? If so,
where would I put it?
Thank you kindly, Miss Fairfax.
Tour advice is excellent, and I shall
greatly appreciate your assistance.
Admiringly, KLLEN.
Dear friend; It is very fine of the
young man to want you to meet his
sister, and I think it would be quite
proper for you to make the trip, es
pecially it you are not gone over
night. Ha will doubtless want to buy
the tickets. I would not kiss her—
that wouldn't be natural, would ft?
Be natural and sincere In all you do.
Call her Mrs. - until you feel
friendly enough to call her by her
first name. It <s quite proper to keep
on your hat for luncheon, although
you might prefer to remove it if you
go to her rooms and she asks you to
leave it. Put your wraps wherever
It seems convenient, in her room, in
the hall of the hotel or even throw
your coat over the back of your chair
if necessary. Tour escort should look
after them for you.
