my own table, which I, although a man,
prepared for myself, 1 append a recipe
which a trial will prove to be excellent.
q In the first place and by way of pa
renthesis, let me say that frequently go
into the kitchen and make dressings, sal
ads, etc, and have something of a knack
for seasoning and mixing. Here is the
recipe:
Make a pan of egg bread with one egg,
a pint of sifted meal into which two even
teaspoons of baking powder and half a tea
spoon of salt have been placed. Mix with
a cup of sweet milk and two tablespoons Of
cooking Oil, or It's equivalent in lard. Bake
to a light golden brown. Take loaf of
stale white bread and mix with the corn
meal egg bread in a large bowl. Chop
about tablespoon of the fresh crisp tops
of celery and one hard boiled egg and mix
with the crumbs. Chop half the liver ana
half the gizzard of the turkey and the
whole heart with a rounding tablespoon Of
chopped onion and cook slightly In skillet
with a rounding tablespoon of butter. Cook
only until the onion becomes a delicate
brown, then turn in the crumbs, break a
whole egg into the mixture. and stir WELL

parts; season with salt, ground pepper. and
a pinch of paprika- This will fill a ten

dressing If desired. I trust this may I'LL

on tribal themes.

and, one of the most unique features
of the program was the playing by

Omaha and Winnebago love songs
Another curious feature was the dem

rythms used by the Indians, the ex
amples being taken from Alice FIetch

by Mr.. Cadman on the piano and Miss
Marble on native Indian drum. The
thematic relationship OF aboriginal, OF
ancient, music was shown in group
