Rhoades and Harry Byrne Raisa Likes Temperamental Cooks because They Make Best Sauces 4' One must not think that Rosa Raisa, who will be in Omaha with the Chicago Grand Opera company, October 20 and 21, only gets pleasure in singing. While it is true that the famous dramatic ennranrt ic L-pnt busy learning new BoM1 Kal8" roles nevertheless she gets time to do many other things. Her special hobby is keeping house and doing her own cooking. To visit Mme. Raisa some early morning the visi tor is likely to find her attired in a long white apron busily engaged in preparing vegetables or fixing a chicken in true Polish style. She has many recipes ofr her favorite dishes, and never tires in trying to teach her friends to cook in the style that best suits her taste. To give them the proper names would require almost a whole line of type, and then the English tongue would not be able to pronounce them. But eating them is another matter; only the palate has to be the judge'. Besides doing her own cooking the soprano likes to get hold of the broom and dust cloth and go about the house to pick up stray specks of dust that happen to adorn the floor, windows or piano. Then there are the flowers to be watered nA nut intrv the sunlicht. and a j-million and one other things that a woman can find in every hook ana corner. In such work Mme. Raisa finds the keenest delight. She thinks that every girl, no matter in what station of life, should find pleasure in taking care of a house. In Europe, she says, all girls are taught to be useful and kind. A good ser vant, argues the singer, is an artist in her line of work, and I find that by treating them as such they give better service and take a lot of trouble in trying to please. t I like a cook or house-maid that is tem peramental. It shows a sign of sin cerityif not genius. A tempera mental cook makes the best sauce, and she is the one most appreciated. War Camp Seymour Lake The Tuesday night dinner-dance at the Seymour Lake club has been dis continued for the remainder of the season. A community dinner will be served on Wednesday, September 17, and Thursday. September 25. The club will close with a harvest home dinner to be given September 27.

They realize the impor tance of up-to-date fixtures, and see to it that they are in keeping with other features of the modem home. When you build your new home, or reno vate the old, make certain that the bath room includes fixtures made by Thomas Maddock's Sons Company. We regard them as the best that money can buy. And usually owners of a Maddock bath room cheerfully agree with us. Come see our display. It costs nothing to be convinced. United States Supply Co. Ninth and Farnam Sts. Omaha, Nebv. or Consult Your Plumber f Heart Beats By A. K. We have some Unique faculties To fathom To understand To comprehend One is our choice Of beads and hats And suits And clothes And shoes. They see us coming Every time Drag forth the worn "Wont-sellers" They put us into Hideous things And purr "You look so stunning My Isn't that lovely on you."

Why is it friends We'd like to know We work against ourscii And make five dollars Any time (For the other fellow) And only one for us? Quien Save! SELAH. The Bee's Household Arts Department Cooking a Business. Celery seed added to boiled sum mer squash gives the squash, which is apt to be' insipid, very much more of a pleasing flavor. Any bit of fruit left over from, a meal is delicious mashed or put through a sieve the next day fr a fruit whip. Apricots, peaches and strawberries all combine as nicely as stewed prunes, with the well beaten whites of eggs, into a dainty, nourishing dessert. Of course, su gar is added in a quantity to make sufficiently sweet and the yolks of the eggs may be made into soft boiled custard for a sauce to serve over the whip. A little lemon fla voring added especially brings out a fine fruit flavor. A simple, effective way of labeling canned fruit it to write the kind of fruit the jar contain upon a paper bag the right sice to flip over the glass jar. This also helps preserve the fruit for a long time by shutting out light. An alarm clock will be much cleaner if slipped into a cardboard box such as little cakes come in. A hole should be cut at the top to permit the ring with which to hang it up slip through, and a much larger one made for the face of the clock, which is protected from steam and dust by the glass. When cooking something like pre serves that require several hours' cooking, it is worth setting the alarm clock for the hour that the fruit will be done, for then one can put her mind on other things, and with just an occasional stir feel safe in going into a cooler room to stay for awhile. For substitute fried oysters either fried summer squash or cauliflower boiled and mixed with egg and cracker crumbs and then fried is very nice. Since the war and the fuel short age we have all learned to practice cooking economy in one way or another. Baking economy consists in filling the oven as full as possible with food to cook whenever it is heated up. Many times a whole meal can be baked at once, and this is a saving of fuel as well as time and energy. Among the little menus that can be baked at once in a large or medium sized ovejj are those sug gested below: Baked potatoes, meat loaf, apple pie. Baked beans, , cup custards, gin gerbread. Baked potatoes, baked wieners, bread pudding. Baked applies, muffins, loaf of cake. Baked bananas, hot biscuit, a roast. Too often heat is wasted that could be utilized with profit if a lit tle planning was done beforehand. For instanie, whenever hot bread is baked for breakfast, a cake for a later meal could easily be cooked at the same time. Apple Sauce Cake. MRS. RUSSEL , PHELFS 1 cup of butter 1 cup of sugar Vi cup of apple sauce. 2 level teaspoons of soda 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, allspicef nutmeg and cloves 1 tablespoon of chocolate 1 cup of currants or raisins 1 cup of chopped nuts Use flour as in ordinary cake bat ter, do not make too stiff.

I had quite an argu ment over this and would lke to have you decide for us. Can you tell me sometiilttp that is Rood for the pimples? I have tried peroxide, but it doesn't seem to do any good. Will It injure the skin in any way? Thanking you, I am. BROWN EYES. Naturally you want mother to meet your boy friends. Say. Mother thle la Mr. Smith Mr. Smith, my mother.

I am )?olng with a girl whose initials are II. A. Now, Miss Fair fax, I just worship her. One eve ning I wanted to tell her I loved her, but she said she did not want to hear it. Now, what does that mean, and what kind of a girl would be the best to go with, one you can kiss or one you can't kiss? Hoping to see this In the paper soon. R. S. I think the glrl'e flat refusal to listen to your matrimonial pleas means plainly that she is not In the least Interested. There seem to be both varieties of the gentler sex at large, judging from the letters re ceived, and so you can make your own choice. Agrees With Mr. Dawson. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I read Mr. T. W. Dawson's letter, written from Fairfield. Neb., and sure agree with him. Instead of talking about it and doing nothing, let's get busy and do something that is really worth while. His let ter Is the most sensible thing I have read for . some time, and all those who seem to be interested In the case prove it by putting up a little cold cash and help this girl to get a square deal. Just say the word and my check will come. I HAVE A SISTER. Addresses.

The boy should as sist his companion while crosslnj the street. 1 do not approve of pub lic dance halls, the private dances are more enjoyable, too. There an no "friendly" caresses, and do not allow any variety at any time. Thr boy should leave your home by 11 o'clock.
