THE ups and downs of operatic life

gustus Harris lost $4,000 on his first

expenses. The London Daily News
believes that the death of Sir Augustus
only expedited matters, as he would
have probably retired after next sea-

zke's determination to give up the
stage and settle down with his future
bride on his Polish estate.

IT is very remarkable fact that the
greatest and best cooks have always
been men. Cooking is supposed to be
essentially the province of women, but
all the big posts of the cooking world
are held by men, and of these the
French and Swiss are most expert.
Few women possess the initiatory
power of concocting new dishes, or OF
exercising the startling originality in
the kitchen that they use with such
marvellous results in the dressmaker
