Culinary Hints
1.1, fruit salads are improved
A I by marinating In r rnch
jTm. I dressing, though later served
with mayonnaise
Instead of thr individual
pule, it In more popular now to pas
on" or two large pates, each guest
serving herself. Fill with niiiih
roorno, osters or creamed sweet
bread. Biscuits or Trench rolls for formal
use are mor diminutive than ever.
The former should he the ll of a
cent piece and a quarter of an Incli
thick.
A delirious Fn'ad Is mado f-om dif
ferent nuts, white grapes, a little
ahredded grape fruit, pineapple cut
Into cub's, ami shredded celery. Mask
In mayonnaise or serve with a cream
dressing.
When a boiled egg Is the uaur.l
breakfast dish vary It by breaking It
raw Into the egg cup and cooking In
hot water to the desired consistency.
The flavor la quite ilifferent than when
cooked in the shell.
Flncers of brea-1 about four Inches
lone, quarter of nn Inch wide, and
the Siime thlrkneFS. buttered th ckly
and browned In a quick oven, are de
licious to serve with boiled ckb.
Salad Is now usually passed in a
s.ilid dish, but when served directly
on the Individual plates an appetis
ing and artln c effect can be had by
making n -sts of shredded lettuce or
endive. In which are eggs made of
cream cheese, colored with rplnsch
Juice and sprinkled thickly with pa
prika or black pepper. Cover with
mayonnaise.
In baking a cake stint the flour In
the batter and 5 ou will have a much
more leniW cake.
flood cranberries cannot be made If
the augar is allowed to boll In with
the berries. After the cranberries are
oft and strained tluoiixh a colander
add a scant pound of siuar to a quart
of beriles. bring to n boil, and cook
four minutes. Put three-quarters 0f a
pint of boiling water on the berrtev
when f.rst cooked.

at the Lyric theater have asked that the
performance be repealed.
It Is possible therefore that a special

several of the teachers and from ' others
eager to hear the play.
The performance last evening was a
marked success from the audience's point
of view and gratifying in the financial re
turns. In the parlance of the profession
it was a 1400-dollar house," and a pleas

Sea food Is becoming plentiful In Omaha.
It Is almost po'slole nowadays to have on?
of the dinners vaunted of the coast peopl
and known as "shore dinners." The sounl
of the waves beating on the rockbound
coast Is missing, but the variety of sen
delicacies Is present to make such a din

and fresh hard shell crsbs are the latest
of the sea aristocrats to arrive. The
ahilmps are 60 cents a quart, and the crabs
to cents apiece. This week there Is a large
shipment of fresh lobsters at 55 cents; the
boiled are DO cents. Scallops continue to
be favorites with those who know the se
cret of their preparation.
Asiwiagus, In addition to Its popularity
brcuuse of Its flavor, deserves place In the
menu because of Its health value and ee
rially r.t this season of the year. In ship

gardens great care Is taken to keep It
fresh and choice The stalks are placed
erect In small compartment boxes, on the
bottom of which Is spread a moisture hold

I asparagus thus keeps Its freshness and

according to the slse oi the bunch.
Strawberries are scarce and of inferior

"The Man Who Owns Broadway" la one
of George M. Cohan's little Jokes at his
own expense. He had written a "dram
mer." and It was a frost; some of his
friends were sympathizing with him after
the manner of Broadway, and he rose in
his wrath and declared that he would take
that same piece and make it go. And he
did. It would take too long to tell you
just how the transformation was brought
about, and, besides, you'd miss the fun
of going to see for yourself, and that's
what you really ought to do. It is a decided
oddity, this flatwheeled melodrama mads
over Into a six-cylinder, 110-horse power
musical comedy, with a torpedo body, direct
transmission, selective gearing, six speeds
forward and none backward (for It will
net travel backward), no brakes and the
cutest horn ever listened to. And people
who like to laugh owe something to the
friends of Mr. Cohan, who badgered him
Into making this success out of a failure.
Raymond Hitchcock la the same droll
fellow who has made fun for us, and
sometimes of us, for a long time now, and
whese visits this way have not been suf
ficiently numerous to engender that fa-,
mlllarlty which breeds either contempt or
neglect. And he has very little occasion
to complain of the welcome given him.
l.tn the spirit of the play, and Its fun
began to dawn on the folks, they warmed
up most enthusiastically, and as a reward
got a curtain speech at the end of the
second act that is as tunny as anything
that comes off during the play. Mr. Hltcn
ctck is a clever comedian, capable and
studious of his wsys, and makes much fun
In such fashion that his ownership of
Broadway will not be disputed, while his
general proprietary control of the country
at large Is only a matter of time.
Along with him Is a company of ca
pable and willing workers, not the least
among them being Flora Zabelle, who Is
alto his wife. She sings In her sweet
tmall voice, and dances quite nimbly, but
not frequently. The capering after the
Cchanesque manner is left to Miss Leila
Rhodes and Mr. Richard Taber, and they
dc It so really that It is no compliment
to compare them to Mr. Cohan and his
gifted Bister, who has Just given over
dancing forever because of the physical
strain it entalle; at least, she Is so quoted.
Mr. Hendricks sings well; Mr. Lleb and
Miss Elaine contribute much to the plot
and the fun, and the chorus well. It's a
Cohan chorus, and that means youth,
beauty and life; color, melody and some
thing doing all the time.
The engagement lasts till after Saturday
night, with a matinee on Saturday.
"Everyman" at the Lyric.
By, their earnestness and dignified read
ing of their lines, the people who last
evening presented "Everyman" at the
Lyric In benefit of the Visiting Nurse as
sociation, made it both Interesting and Im
pressive, so wen was the spirit or the
"morality" maintained that It was re
ceived by the large audience present with
the respect which la accorded the service
Is symbolized. This earnestness expressed
as it was by pleasing voices, quite re
suscitated and made pertinent and effective
the story of "Everyman's" sad plight
when summoned by "Dethe ' to give ac
counting of his life.
And as the "moral" makes very clear
the fact that It Is only "Good Deeda" who
endures and accompanies "Every man" or
anyinun on the dreadful Journey, the play
is appropriately given In benefit of an
association whose deeds are so truly good.
The good deeds of the Visiting Nurse as
sociation are known and esteemed by all
who know of the work. This esteem, to
gether, with Interest In the players and
Interest In the old play made the audience
one which filled the theater.
Miss Louise McPherson, who Is president
of the association, was general manager
of the "Everyman" production and largely
responsible for Its success. As "Knowl
edge" she contributed directly to the 1m
preaslveness of the staunch advice wlthl
which "Everyman" was enheartened.
Lloyd Ingraham as "Everyman" and at
director of the performance deserves and
herewith Is accorded much praise. Espe
cially la he to be commended fur his drill
ing of the players and his coaching of
their reading.
That the spirit of the old play might be
maintained, the program did not give the
names of those who had parts. The cast
was:
MeBseuger Louise Loed
Edith Into the fold as he did his lambs on
the hills, Is equally as good as an actor.
The scenery and effects are especially
good.

The sale of Peats lor the "Ben Hur" en
gagement at the Brandeis. which begins on
Monday night, kept a line in front of the
box office all day yesterday. It was one of
the heaviest advance sales ever recorded
in Omaha, and indicates, if anything, that
the play has lost none of its popularity
since It was last offered here. The present
prospect is that the week will be another
record for the great production.
Lest September Henrietta Crosman was
booked at the Brandela theater in Percy
MacKaye's very remarkable play, "Antl
Matrimony," but the fates of the booking
powers decreed that Miss Crosman was
not to come to Omaha and the engagement
was cancelled with the promise that Miss
Crosman would appear al the Brandela
later In the season.
The reason for Miss Crosman's cancella
tion of her Omaha engagement was that
New York demanded her there and she
Jumped all the way east from Denver. Now
New York has seen "Anti-Matrimony" and
Miss Crosman is ready to keep her prom-
three cities New York. Boston and Phila
delphiaand Its receipts have amounted to
nearly 11,000,000, two records that have
never been even approached by any othet
drama play. Another remarkable fact Is
that In the two years only one change has
occurred in the cast. The present closing
Is simply a vacation granted by Wagenhals
& Kemper to their hard-worked actors,
who have certainly earned a rest. They
will reassemble in the fall when "Seven
Days" will start on Its third year of con-quest.
If you wish to see the biggest and most
expensive company ever organized to tour
the extravaganza theaters, go over to the
Gayety theater this week. Fred Irwin's
"Majesties" Is here with new fares and
everything is massive magnificent scenery,
costumes, electrical effects, operatic chorus,
prize pony ballet, to say nothing of the
dozen big features. The dally Increase In
the business indicates that the attraction
has "caught on." Matinee dally.
Miss A. Holland
wishes to announce her re
turn from New York on Mon
day, March 27, when she will
be glad to see all old custo
mers and many new ones.

MYSTERY OF MONEY MAKING
A Peculiar Art Koine times Amaslngly
Developed In Unexpected
Flares.
There Is something more mysterious than
anything in high finance about the suc
cess in money making of the miser whose
story was told in a dispatch from Stam
ford, Conn. His fortune grew to a quar
ter of a million, although he kept his se
for the money than himself, and he had
allowed It to lie In the treasury. It would
ba easy to marvel that president should
not have known that a warrant ones
drawn was deducted from the treasury's
available balance, and that was gone so
far as the government was concerned as
Irrevocably as though the warrant had been
cashed, so that In fact the president had
not accommodated Uncle Sam at all, and,
of course, the money had been collected
from the taxpayers equally in any sue.
But the anecdote is about a man, whose
Intelligence and experience were marvels.
It Is not permlxsible to suppose that Abra
ham IJncoln did nut appreciate any ait
curltles In old newspapers by way of safe-J he ever ,)erformed Jt , a pra(.tlcal ccr
deposit and left uncauhed checks In some
cases thirteen years old.
Where then did the old man whose
money did him so little good learn how

Redemption" at the KrasT.
"Redemption." a strong pastoral play,
was Introduced to Krug theater patrons
yesterday to run for three days. Man
ager Charles A. Francke offers It as a
special Lenten attraction. "Redemption"
tells a simple story of a young woman
who drifts Into a rural community and
close to nature to blot out her past. Com
plications of love, pathos, vengeance and
comedy arise, ending happily, of course.
The leading role Is taken by Miss Isabel
Steadman as Edith Gray. Her acting Is
good. Harry Moore as Big Bill, who takes
the theater world. The date of Miss Cros
man's engagement at the Brandeis theater
is April 2 for four performances, and she
no doubt will receive a royal welcome.
Next week promises to be visiting week
with Mr. McGowan of the American
theater. When "the villain still pursued
her" style of theatrical fare was at Its
height, Mr. Howard Truesdell, who Is
booked at the American next week, was
one of the handsomest and most popular
"villains" on the stage and put In several
seasons under Mr. McGowan's manage
ment in such thrillers as "When London
Sleeps" and others of the "Walllch" type.
Mrs. McGowan was also In the company at
that time and Mr. McGowan's personality
was concealed behind a Van Dyke beard.
Mr. Truesdell in his stage make-up closely
resembled Mr. McGowan. It was no un
common occurrence for the gallery gods
to mistake the one for the other after the
performance was over. One night when
leaving the theater at Rochester. N. Y., an
'Imp'' of the upper regions, waiting at the
stage door for the "animals" to come out,
spied Mr. McGowan and his whiskers and
said In a threatening voice: "Dar he Is
now." referring to the villainous Truesdell.
Continuing, the gallery god said: "I-s
trow mud on him." Result: Mrs. McGowan
insisted on the whiskers disappearing.
At the Chestnut Street opera house.
Philadelphia, Wagenhals Kempers' Astor
theater "Seven Days" company closed last
Saturday to take a brief rest after playing
steadily winter and summer without losing
a day for over two years. The season will
terminate only temporarily and will begin
again early In the fall at the New York
Astor theater. In the two years of Its
exUtencs this company has only played In
wag prudent to keep his money In '.he
nay known to him to be so unsafe that
he watched It through the nights year
after year? And how could a man with
such fondness for money, as well as keen
ness In making it, endure to see It He
Idle, when It possessed the capacity of
bringing him more money with less rtsx
and trouble? The art of cutting off cou
pons is not difficult to learn, but It vas
not practiced by a man able to mase
money enough to own the bonds.
This case Is so far from being singular
that on the same day another one was
reported. A Long Island farmer died
worth a round million made by himself,
although he could neither read nor write.
His start was not a mystery. He owned
a farm which the growth of Brooklyn
turned Into building lots, but that was
only his start. He traded In real estate
thereafter, and anybody who can do that
and keep uhat he starts with has the
money making Instinct fur a certainty. In
this case the fortune maker demonstrated
more Intelligence than the Stamford miser.
He knew how to use the money he made,
and was wise enough tu hire technical
Intelligence to take care of It. Although
he signed his checks with his cross, they
were prepared for him by a bank clerk,
who almost certainly will never make
his million, although his Intelligence nnd
training made him appear the superior of
his employer.
These cases, recall another which Is
classical, but very different. One duy
President Lincoln, according to the story,
presented to the treasury thirteen monthly
salary checks, at the rata of that time
of .,Wn annually. The officer asked the
president why he had not cashed Hie
checks. The reply was that the president
thought that I'ncla Sam bad mors need
tainty that he was guided by a patrloilg
impulse and a knowledge of condition
which made even that small accommoda
tion worth while to the couDtry. It was tin
men who were giants In those days, -and
It was the treasury which was embar
rassed habitually. In those days there
was a short shrift for tax dodgers, and
men practiced humbly and privately what
they shout about In the market place
now, while not all the practice ia on tlis
old high scale. It la only because the
conditions are so easy that such virtues
are not necessary. We are said to be cank
ered by wealth, but there are those who
have the fulth that If the old strains
should recur, and the country should really
be In need, the old virtues would revive,
with the recurrence of politics better Worth
while than thasu which are concerned
chiefly with the distribution of profits. -New
