Dancer in a Dark Kitchen.

No mar has a right to expect a
woman to keep a sweet heart and a
cheerful mind and live in a house
bare of comfort and beauty and work
in a dark kitchen. Too many farmers
when building house never consult
their wives, take no thought OF their
comfort or convenience. and leave the
kitchen the last thing to be consid-
cred II it Is considered at all And If
asked to spend money on decorating
the home would actually feel abused!
A woman's life In the country is
often necessarily lonely and she ought
to have the very sunniest, most pleas
ant rooms in the house for her sit
sing-rcom and kitchen. Most farm
wives spend two-thirds of their wax
ing hours in the kitchen. and no mon
ey spent In making this place one OF
convenience and comfort can ever be
wasted

cHAF,Ne DISH SUGGESTIONS.

The many valuable uses to which
the chafing dish may be put has been
oft told In song and story, but there
is none so valuable as that which
gladdens the heart Of our conVa-
Iescent. His appetite may be stlmu-
lated by some delicate morsel which
he will enjoy all the more intensely
because he has watched the process
rs cooking. In the home where there
is an invalid, the chatting dish Is al
most indispensable.
With the chafing dish, which may
be as simple or as fine as the purse
allows, one always likes a few pretty
pitchers, small bowls. dainty jars ana
dishes to hold the materials to cook.
AS we'll as the condiments and season
ings. Measuring spoons and cups are
indispensable, as accuracy Is as es-
sentisi in chafing dish cookery as IN
! any other.
Anchovy Toast.-Toast four slices
of bread from which the crusts have
been removed, spread with anchovy
paste. Scald q cup of milk, add two
egg yolks and stir until the mixture
ttickens. Beat the whites Of two
eggs until stiff, add the thickened
milk, beat thoroughly and pour over
the toast.
Toast dipped in egg and milk and
fried in a bit of butter is a favorite
way of serving bread.
Frizzled Bcef.-Take few slices or
dried beef. cover with boiling water
and let stand ten minutes. and drain.
Melt two tablespoonful of butter in
the blazer, add two tablespoonfu!s OF
-four. and pour on gradually one cup
of milk. Season with salt and pep
per; reheat the beef in the sauce, AND
pour over strips of toasted bread. A
yolk of egg may be added, if wanted
richer.
Hash balls may be Drowned and
served hot from the chaf1ng dish. One
of the charms Of chafng dish cookery
is that it is served hot from the

Louis Montana Will
Return to Washington

Wrestling enthusiasts are today dis
playing great joy at the announcement
Of the appearance at the Lyceum Thea
ter next Thursday night OF Louis Mon
tano. the big italian athlete. Probably
no visiting wrestler enjoys the popu-
Iarity in washington that Is accorded
Montana. who is also something OF
comedian. This big wrestler has been
matched with Paul Redder, who comes
to America from Belgium. and who is
seeking middleweight honors in this
country.
Redder has been in America now for
more than a year and is just beginning
to understand American methods OF
wrestling. He has lots of new holds
peculiar to his own style Of graphing,
and he is sure to be forced to bring
them into action against Montana. In
his country he is known as the Belgium
wildcat. and he is here to prove his
title to that name.
Thursdays bout will be the first tina,
Montana has engaged in since his two
months confinement in hospital al
New York In bout in January Mona
tano injured rib. and II has kept him
out of the game for many weeks.
Just before Montana went to the hos.
pital he stayed for two hours and
FORTY minutes with George Bothner. wh<
is considered one Of the fastest light
heavyweights now on the mat Each
wrestler got one fall in that period, the
bout being stopped on account Of the
time running over into Sunday morn
ing.
