SLENDER, girlish little ar tist, a huge grand piano, and 10 skillful fingers, lift vaude- ville audiences nightly from their j prosaic, hum-drum lives into a won- der world of beauty, transported thither on the wings of music. "Music liath charms" and Miss Daisy Cordier Nellis, who is ap pearing this week at the Orphcutn, brings with her the art of the old masters, giving a welcome respite from the jazzy, jangly tunes of the modern day. Sacrificing everything for her music, this attractive young pianiste has spent her life perfecting her art, as she began her studies at the age of 5. Miss Nellis is a former Kansas City girl, leaving her home city for New York, where she stud ied for three years under Rudolph Ganz. She has filled many concert engagements, but eager to bring pleasure to as many as possible, she has chosen the vaudeville stage for the time. "A man will listen to good music for 15 or 20 minutes and enjoyj it, but you couldn't persuade him to attend an ;vening's concert," said Miss Nellis. Truly spoken, and so for her allotted minutes this talent ed young musician gives her au diences a bit of Liszt or of Chopin, or perhaps of Wagner, and then -hurries away, leaving them ap plauding for more. After a winter season of strenuous work Miss Nellis leaves the glare of the footlights and the hum and bustle of the busy world behind her and seeks her summer home far up in the woods of Maine, 14 miles from a railroad. There she lives with a farmer's family, but her days arc spent in her outdoor studio, for her piano is shipped to her sum mer residence and she practices by the hour, the only other sound the twittering of birds and rustling of the leaves. From the door of her forest retreat one may see the dap pling waters of a tiny lake, and far away the peaks of the White mountains. From early in June un til the green woods turn to scarlet and gold Miss Nellis studies aiiil plans her winter's work, returning with renewed vigor and fresh in spiration. Miss Nellis has many friends in Omaha who arc welcoming her this week. Red Cross Notes DREAMLAND ADVENTURE "THE NIGHT FLYER." By DADDY.

Never had she been on so fast a train, and never had she felt the sen sation of riding on a locomotive. Xtunber 337 seeined like a powerful living creature that was running away with the lorig string of cars behind it. But it wasn't running away. In stead it was being driven by a master who's slightest touch it instantly obeyed. Though Engineer Bill was weak and ill, his hand held the throt tle in a skillful grip that at one mo ment kept Number 337 closely in check to round a curve and at the next sent the great locomotive leap ing ahead at tremendous speed along a straight stretch of track. Fred, the fireman, was kept busy shoveling coal into the firebox. Num ber 337 was a giant in strength, but it also had a giant's appetite. Peggy, who felt that the fireman, in his en mity for the engineer, had mischief in his mind, was glad to see that his work kept him hustling. He didn't have much time for plotting. j As Peggy watched Fred, a loud rattle and roar startled her nearly I out of her wits. Her first thought j was that Number 337 had jumped i the track and. was plunging to its j destruction. But a glance out of the p cab window showed her that they were simply whizzing through a 1 small town. The rattle was caused 1 by wheels clattering over switches while the roar was the echoing back of the roar of the train as they pas se cars standing on the sidetracks. A quick flicker of lights and the town left far behind. Now Peggy saw ahead a bright spot of light. It grew larger and larg er at amazing speed, hurling itself straight at them. In a flash she real ized that it was another train. With a cry of fear she seized Engineer Bill's arm. Couldn't he see the dan ger? Bill heard her cry and felt her grasp his arm. For just a moment he seemed about to turn toward her. Then he stiffened in rigid attention to his duty, his eyes keeping steadily to the track ahead of him. But he didn't slack the speed of the Night Flyer one bit. Alt this happened in just the smallest part of a minute. The other engine was almost upon them. As Peggy braced herself to meet an awful crash, there was a pounding roar, and the other train thundered by- . Then Teegy, almost wilting in j sudden relief, remembered that this I was a double track road. Of course, j Engineer'' Bill hadn't slackened speed. There was no need to, for the other train was safe on its own rails. Engineer Bill, as soon as the ne cessity of attention was past, turned to see why his arm had been seized. He looked across toward Fred, the fireman, and was plainly astonished to see him in his place. Evidently lie thought Fred was the one who had spoken. There was such a clangor in the cab that Engineer Bill did not try to call out to Fred, but a few minutes later, when he had brought the train to a stop at a junction, he turned to the fireman. "Why did you shout and crab my arm back there?" he asked. "What's the matter with you?" re torted Fre din surprise. "I've been on my own side of the cab all the time. Are you seeing things?" Engineer Bill didn't answer, but Peggy saw a troubled look come in to his eyes, and a moment later she heard him murmur to himself. "Can it be that I'm delirious? I surely heard a shout and felt a hand on my arm. Fred swung himself out of the cab for a moment as the train stood still, but was back at his place as the conductor gave the go ahead signal. Peggy wondered where he had been, her curiosity being sharpened by a queer, guilty look on his face. Ven turing over to his side of tire cab she heard him mutter: y "Maybe I'll get my chance to drive 1 S&5 gg"- With a cry' of fear she seized Engi neer Bill's arm. the Night Flyer before we get to the end of the run. If he's seeing things, I'll give him something to see that will drive him crazy." Again the train glided on its way, again there was a flicker of lights as the junction town was left behind, and again No. 337 roared into the darkness. Peggy felt once more the thrill of excitement 'she tingled with the de light of swift motion. But suddenly her delight vanished and horror took its place". Therei ahead, right in the path of light, was a black, dancing figure, and the train was rushing at it with the speed of a cannon-ball. Even as she saw it, she felt a sharp jerk and heard the scream of sud denly checked wheels. Engineer Bill had seen the figure and applied the air brakes.

I imagine that we have passed the zenith now and ttfiat prices will scarcely go any higher, though they may stay at their skyward level for a time. Hence we can make definite plans as to how much must be allowed for food in the coming year. The food budget is but part of a household budget, but it is a part that has assumed undue proportions. We must have a certain amount of food that fact is granted. We are accustomed to a certain type of food. Your type is not quite like your neighbor's. It may cost more or it may cost less. But whatever it cost formerly it cost you a great deal more in the last few years. Per haps you sighed at the increase and let it go at that. No doubt you used what you had even more carefully than ever before. But did you alter at all the kind of food you had al ways had? (Beyond a certain amount of conservation, of course). I asked a class of mine recently how many ot them ever had a meat substitute,1 except fish, on the home dinner ta ble. Only one hand was raised. Yet we all exclaim at the high cost of meat. Cost of Food Per Person. To maintain a table somewhat close to the before-the-war average, the cost is 50 cents per person pel day. With five in the family that means $900 per year or half of an $1,800 income. I wonder if it is wise to spend that proportion on food. Formerly we were told thai 25 per cent of a moderate income was enough to spend on food, theu Co-Operation Miss Gross will be very glad to receive suggestions for the home economics column or to answer, as far as she is able, any ques tions that her readers may ask. transferred to the personnel depart ment at Fort Omaha.

The things of the spirit, the most wf)rth while things of life, sink back as material wants- crowd forward because, unfortunately, even spirit ual values demand a dollars and cents expression. Books, music, va cations, education, all cost money. If we are not a hopelessly material minded people we must make provi sion for those finer things. We must have them, "on bread and milk," it need be, as I read recently. If we cannot afford 50 cents per person per day for food, what can we get along on? It used to be 25 or 30 cents a day, then 35 cents or 40 cents. I am not sure whether one can set a varied table on 35 cents, but it can be done on 40 cents, though not without most careful planning. And, of course, such a table would be very simple, indeed, though capable of satisfying every dietary need. This column hopes to print some low-cost dietaries soon. Analysis of a Food Budget. If you would like to cut down your food budget, examine your va rious expenditures according to the division suggested below. Per Cent. Meat 30 Fish, eggs, cheese, milk 20 Fats 9 Sugars, syrup, flour and cereals. 10 Vegetables and fruits 20 Beverages 3 Condiments and seasonings .... 2 And remember always that every child in the family must have his quart of milk a day; and every grown-up should have at least a pint. A liberal use of milk in the diet is the first step toward health and economy. Athletic Club Party. Mr. and Mrs. C. A.

' Dining Cars to Return to the A La Carte System On dining cars the a la carte meal is coming back into its own soon after the first of the year. It is said that the regular meal plan did not prove to be popular with the traveling public. The conten tion was that only a few of the travelers cared for a full meal, much preferring to pick the articles of food from the menu card and then pay for what was ordered. With restrictions removed in the matter of food, railroad officials have concluded to recognize the demands of the public and as a re sult the regular meal is to go.
