AT THE THEATRE

"She Looks Good to Father."-A new
musical farce comedy will be the at
traction al the Illinois theater Tuesday,
Sent. 4. II is s. w. Pascoe's latest
success, "She Looks Good to Father
Although this is one of the latest pro-
duced plays, it has already proved one
of the most successful attractions on
the road and will undoubtedly meet
with the same marked favor in this
city. There are enough laughs for ev-
cry minute to make one forget that he
ever had a trouble, for the action
throughout is fast and furious. The
play is said to be produced on mag
nificent scale and the cast is strong
one. headed by the famous funmakers,
Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Powers.
"The Minister'S Son."-Critics often
refuse to recognize that which is not
labored; where no violence of direction
is shown they see no art. To follow
too closely to nature is considered rude
by some-it indicates lack of culture

human nature. Such a play is "The
Minister'S Son." The author has not
made some of his characters speak in
polished epigran as do the stage folks
of Pinero or Jones, but has given them
instead the quaint mannerisms of
speech and the ''localisms" of their

For Bleaching the Hands.

A good paste for improving and whitening the hands Is made by blanch- ing half pound of bitter almonds and beating them to a smooth paste with a gill of rose water. Add gradually half pound of clear, strained honey. When thoroughly mixed. pack into small jars, pouring on the top of each a little rose water. Keep closely covered.
 Another salve for softening the hands is made by taking quarter of pound of castle soap and shaving it in thin slices Put this in an earthenware or porcelain lined pan, with just enough water to moisten it. Let il simmer slowly until dissolved and then stir un- til perfectly smooth, thickening it with Indian meal. Take from the fire and beat hard with silver spoon. adding a little orange or rose water when cool. When thoroughly mixed, pack into small covered jars.

CULINARY CONCEPTS.

Outer leaves of lettuce which are not attractive for salad can be boiled or steamed and served as greens.
 To keep the color of parsley dip it for minute or two in boiling water. then shake of the water and chop fine for soup or sauce.
 If too much salt has been added to soup, slice a raw potato and boil it in the soup for few moments. The po- tato will absorb much Of the salt.
 Meat baked in the oven and never pasted is often like tough leather throughout In baking very hot oven is wanted for five minutes then tho heat should be reduced for gentle cook ing.
 Good meat should be firm and not too dark nor too pale in color. There should be no burst veins nor blood marks. If 50, these places will decay early in kept meat and will spread an area of inr lection around them.
