Fine Feathers Tonight.

What is considered quite the most
sensational dramatic success of the
decadc-Fme Feathcrs-will be seen
at the Auditorium this afternoon and
tonight II. II. Frazee, who produced
Fine Feathers in New York and Chico 20
last season, and under whose direction
the play will be seen here, considers it
the most important production Of hls
entire career rs a theatrical producer.
According to the patronage which the
play enjoyed during It's first year, 1t
must needs have that great human ap-
peal which unfortunately is inspired
only on rare occasion. Fine Feathers
reflects the condition of the nation;
its story develops what may be found
in one 5 neighbours home or possibly
in one 5 own home. That it is VlrIl
expose OF the truth may be understood
by mere rectal of the promise OF the
story which concerns the struggle Of q
young couple to maintain home ON
So per week and withstand the OPP
portuuity to gain luxury by accepting
Il proposition IN which graft is the
predominatiug note.

DISHES FOR TEA.

For the supper, or evening meal, 6
nice dish of cottage cheese is well
liked, if nicely prepared. Two or
three quarts Of thick. sour milk will
make a sufficient quantity for an
ordinary family Pour boiling water
into the milk, stirring until the curds
form. Do not let stand too long or it
becomes tough Drain in a sieve and
season with cream, softened butter
and salt. For those who like the fla
vor, few chives cut fine are a good
addition.
Burberry Tea cake.-This hot cake
is especially good for tea. The cake
may be baked in muffin pans, and by
many is preferred in this form. Cream
two tablespoonfuls of butter, add
cup of sugar, q beaten egg, three
fourths Of a cup Of milk two and a
half cups of flour sifted with two and
half teaspoonfuls Of baking powder
ana half teaspoonful Of salt At the
last add cup of blueberries.
Baked Peaches.-Scald the fruit and
remove the skin. Place layer of
peaches in a pan and sprinkle gener-
ously with sugar; pour half cup Of
water over them. Bake until tender
and slightly brown, and serve with
cream.
Georgia Broiled Ram.-Three hours
before the meal, lay the ham in the
following mixture: For two slices
of ham, use two quarts of water, two
tablespoonful of molasses, pepper
parsley and bits of butter. Let stand
until ready to broil, then drain and
broil
Sally Lunn.-Sift together two cup
fuls Of flour and a teaspoonful Of salt
Beat an egg until light, add a half
cup of warm milk, half of a yeast
cake dissolved in half cup of wa
ter, a tablespoonful each of lard and
butter and half tablespoonful Of SUI
gar. Pour this on to the flour and
beat well, then set to rise in a warm
place. 1t will take about four hours
AT the end of that time beat well
again and pour into wellbuttered
pan; let rise an hour, then bake a
half hour in a moderate oven.
Sally Lunn with warm maple strip
is most delicious for an evening tea.

he was asked.

YOU understand, but in such way
that I could not get out Besides. her
trunk was wrapped tightly around my
wrist called for help. but the stage
hands thought I was joking. They did
not realize my danger. until the ele-
phant's foot had sunk through the
raukiug. | began to worry as it
looked like fail of twenty feet with
the elephant ON top Of me.

Minnie -
Not real trouble. but it IS a fact
that she is as mischievous rs a bad
