Orpheura Echoes.
We fel: somewhat lost at the Or
pheum Monday night. Unfamiliar
faces peeped out of familiar boxes and
even the "foursomes" were absent.
"Surely the knitting needles will be
here tonight," someone said. The
words were hardly spoken when the
curtains in the right upper box parted
and in walked the knitting needles,
accompanied by a stalwart soldier.
We felt a little more at home when
we spied Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Updike
and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Baldnge
and as the seats began to fill we were
really relieved. A very prominent
young "chap whose engagement has
recently been announced to an out
of-town girl was there with his pretty
fiancee.
A very stunning evening gown was
seen on the stage. A dream in blue
and silver it was, with a tiny, stick-
uppy Queen Elizabeth collar at the
back. A blue and silver hat and
twjnkling silver slippers completed
the costume. Four girls who do a
clever singing stunt were gowned
alike, also in the turquoise shade.
Their dresses were rather Bo-Peepish
in style,, wit', the smart bustle effect
and long sleeves of lace.
Fannie Usher, with her dog,
"Spareribs," . and her wonderful
hands, makes a pathetic appeal,
which called forth a number of hand
kerchiefs, we noticed.
"Spareribs" looked terribly bored,
but acted his silent part wonderfully
well. A clever little skit written by
Pauline Frederick's husband is an in
teresting feature . of the bill this
week.

"In a Minute" is
If You
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Time is the most valuable thing
in the world. But it is as free to the
dollar and a half a day ditch digger
as it is to the million-dollar and a
half a year payer of income tax.
Have you ever stopped to face
this interesting fact? What you do
with one hour of your business day
is fairly indicative of what you are
going to do with the whole dav
all your days your life!
Howard came to the Fessenden
offices with everything in the world
in his favor. He had been highly
recommended. No one liked his pred
ecessor. Howard was neat, pleasant
looking, a boy with quiet, good man
ners and with agreeable voice. There
never was an office boy who started
off under kindlier auspices.
And Howard seemed to justify the
hope of the office. He was neat,
efficient, willing and agreeable. He did
what he was told that could be
counted on. What could not be count
ed on was when he would do it. His
attitude might have been translated
from an old' world proverb: "If I
don't come today, expect me to
morrow." "There's, all the time in the world"
haven't yon 1 said that on a great
many, occasions? And don't you find
yoursilf doing your' work on a basis
of that; idea? ..Well, there is all the
time in the world but there are all
the things in the world to do in that
time; the experience of the ages past
can be ystudied in that time, and
growth toward a worth-while future
can also be managed. '
In a Minute.
"I'll come in a minute," says Emily
when mother calls. Suppose Emily
grows . up, goes into an office - and
takes the "I'll come in a minute" at
titude when the chief's bell rings and
she is summoned to take dictation?
She frazzles the temper of her su
perior officer by making him wait,
proves herself an inefficient young
woman and in wasting a mere minute
or two she may actually throw away
her chances for promotion.
Who hasn't walked out of a shop
because a slow moving clerk sug
gested indifference to her wants?
Who does not know of the great for
feits which contracting companies pay
when buildings are not finished on
the day and date promised? Who
hasn't had a cake burned to a crisp
while finishing a telephone conversa
tion and thinking to herself: "I must
go in a minute and watch the oven."
The easiest thing in the world to
do is to explain to yourself that a
minute doesn't matter; but half a
minute gone wrong would dash a
trapeze performer to death at the feet
of his audience half a minute? half
a second. It takes the most perfect
calculation for the swing from one
mass of swaying ropes to another;
properly calculated, the daring,
breath-taking performance is simple
and safe half a second gone wrong
and it means death.
Life is full of calculations as nice,
as exact, as the swing of the trapeze
performer. Remember that.
The successful man or business
woman arranges his or , her day so
that it won't be full of wasted min
utes, half hours gone wrong, broken
appointments, delayed efforts.

Too Late
Want to Get Ahead
There is no more important rule
for success than this simple one: Do
it now. 1
Any big official in a big company
who discovers an underling postpon
ing the very slightest bit of business
routine with a lazy attitude that it can
be done just as well later on, is going
to lose faith in that individual.
Giving Orders.
Giving orders and having them car
ried out are part of the routine of
any efficiently managed organization
from a national army to an office
whose force consists, of one clerk and
one stenographer.
The only way to get things done
is to do them promptly. Waiting for
something to turn up and save you
the responsibility of making a big
sale or of sharpening a pencil is
likely to walk hand in hand with nat
ural shiftlessness and to cause you al
ways to postpone the things which
need prompt doing.
Find out if you are in the habit of
postponing things till tomorrow and
get in the habit of doing things with
the snap and vigor of the man who
crouches on the line .waiting for -the
pistol shot which will free him to
start on a hundred-yard dash. A
quick start means victory.
You are not always swinging
from one trapeze to another, with
your life dependent on perfect tim
ing of your movements. But unless
you cultivate in yourself a real
respect for seconds and half seconds,
some day you'll come to a place
where quick decision and instan
taneous action are needed and you
won't be able to, time your move
ments. , Result? Well, think about

Winter Salads.
We are coming to realize that sal-!
ads are not the mere fripperies they
were formerly thought to be and that
a certain amount of money spent for
them is a real investment. In the
winter time it is difficult to buy fresh
green things without a large outlay
of money. Still even in the winter it
is possible to buy some salad mate
rials at considerably less cost than
others. The need for salads is three
fold. They provide raw food in the
diet and nutrition experts are telling
us that a certain amount of raw
food is absolutely essential to per
fect health.
In certain raw foods are found sub
stances that are destroyed by heat.
These substances are present in fruits
and vegetables. Also salads provide
mineral salts in the diet and mineral
salts help to build the body structure
and to keep the body in good condi
tion. Lastly salads add bulk to the
diet. It is not a good thing to eat
only foods that are compact and com
pletely digested. To keep the diges
tive tract clear a certain amount of
undigestible material, or "roughage,"
should be supplied. The fiber of fruits
and vegetables acts as a scourer in
the digestive tract.
Salads and Conservation.
Salads are such a comfort to the
puzzled housewife who is struggling
with new and unfamiliar dishes in al-
filake Their Wedding
Trip in an Aeroplane
New York, Feb. 19.-A wedding
trip in an aeroplane from Govern
or's Island to Massapequa, Long
Island, will be taken today by
Lieutenant Lawrence V. Sperry, U.
S. N., and his bride, who was Miss
Winifred Allen of this city. They
were married last night in St. Cor
nelius' chapel on Governor's Island.
Their trip to the chapel from
Massapequa was made through the
air and Lieutenant Sperry piloted
his plane almost to the door of the
church.
Using Up Overripe Berries
Louisiana does a good winter busi
ness in strawberries, but has often
suffered losses through the waste of
over-ripe berries not suited for ship
ment even to local markets. A farm
ers' association at Hammond, that
state, says the Manufacturers' Rec
ord, recently negotiated with a New
York manufacturer of cordials and
extracts, securing a small preserving
factory, which was quartered in an
old iron foundry, and will take all
over-ripe berries at 9 cents per quart
besides giving employment to local
workers. This factory will also can
and preserve wild blackberries in that
section after the strawberry season
closes.
Sugarless Sundae
The first prize in a recent contest
held by the Soda Fountain went to
the following sugarless sundae recipe,
called "Honey Brazil":
One pint good strained honey, 1
nint rmtn 1 tabli'snnnn cornstarch
dissolved in milk, J4 pound butter,
1 cup of Brazil nuts cut in pieces,
inch or 'A inch in diameter. Heat the
cream and honey together; add the
cornstarch and cook it until it thick
ens. After removing from the fire
add the butter and stir until melted.
Serve a ladle over a portion of ice
cream and top with whipped cream
and a red cherry.
Skim-Milk War Cheese
Wisconsin has a law prohibiting
the manufacture of skim milk cheese
under certain conditions. At a re
cent meeting the cheese makers of
that state urged that the law be
amended to permit the manufacture
of skim milk cheese in the usual
shapes during the war, utilizing by
nmriiirt fi-rtm butter in the cream
eries and competing on an even foot

material is concerned with conserva

of salad within the reach of her purse.

money like a queen, realizing that no
one is being deprived and you and
your grocir are the gainers.
Simple Dinner Salads.
For the ordinary dinner nothing is
nicer than a plain lettuce salad or let
tuce salad with a slight vegetable gar
nish. Head and leaf lettuce are iden
tical as far as food value is concerned.
The ideal dressing is, of course, the
French dressing, made of olive oil,
but the cheaper oils the corn oil,
peanut oil, etc. are equally satisfy
ing to the needs of the body. Tlain
vinegar dressing pleases many peo
ple or some kind of cooked salad
dressing. For a slight variation with
cooked salad dressing mix raw grated
carrot with the dressing and place a
spoonful on the lettuce. Grated pickled
beet may be used in the same way. A
dash of grated horseradish adds a
tang to the beets. A spoonful of
Thousand Island dressing makes a
festive salad of plain lettuce.

in place of this vinegar dressing.
Vegetable Gelatine Salads.
A most convenient way of using up
different kinds of cooked or raw veg
etables is to combine them into a
gelatine salad. A good general rule
to follow is to have as much liquid as
chopped vegetable and to us one
sixth part weak vinegar in the liquid.
Thus for one cup liquid take out
three tablespoons water and replace
with vinegar. (There are 16 table
spoons in one cup.) Two teaspoons
gelatine will stiffen one cup of liquid
and one tablespoon sugar to one cup
liquid improves the flavor of the salad.
Tomato juice may be used in place of
water, in whith case no vinegar is
necessary unless a very tart salad is
desired. Good combinations with to
mato are green peas, string beans, cab
bage and pimento. A. pretty combi
nation with vinegar liquid is celery,
peas and cooked carrots.
