DADDY LONG LEGS"

Daddy Long Legs" which comes
to the Orpheum Friday and Saturday,
September 10-11,. has been described
by many reviewers as "a comedy that
oreathes the spirit of youth" 1t is a
tender love story built around quaint
little Cinderella in real life. Judy
Abbott, the whimsical young heroine,
begins life as a founding girl in an
orphan asylum. Her life is lightened
by vivid day dreams in which she
fancies herself a student in a girls
college, with plenty of pretty frocks to
wear, money to spend and all the
other delightful blessings that fall to
the fortunate girls who live in the
unknown world beyond the walls of
her asylum-home. The three big acts
Of Daddy Long Legs tell how her
dreams come true through tie reck-
less generosity of a modern Prince
Charming. Naturally, a subsequent
romance between Judy and her mys-
terious benefactor provide the scenes
of exquisite sentiment that give the
play its irresistible charm.-Adv.

TO MAKE WITH CHESTNUTs.
Variety Of Good Things That VIII %
Appreciated BY Those Fond OF
the Edible.

Chestnuts are liked by almost every
body, although they are sometimes
found indigestible. II they are boiled,
they r easily digested. This Is a
good way to boil them: Cut each
chestnut with a o on the stem end,
and tie them In a piece OF c~heesocloth
or put them in a c~heesecloth bag. Boil
them until tender in sailed water.
Then serve them with butter and salt,
as they are, or prepare them more
deliberately.
Chestnut custard is a delicious des-
sert, and can be made either from
roast or boiled chestnuts. Remove
the shells and skins from the cooked
chestnuts-a pound and a half Of
them. Rub them through a sieve and
mix with a cupful OF butter, to a
paste. Add the yolks of six eggs beat
en- creamy, three-quarters Of a up
full Of powdered sugar and half a cup
full Of cream, whipped stir. Then fold
in lightly the whites Of the g beat
en- stiff, and heat in a double boiler
until It thickens. Do not boil. Chill
thoroughly before serving.
For chestnut salad, boil 20 chest
nuts, as directed above, and drop into
cold water to harden. Then peel and
cut into pieces the size Of the chest
nut quarters. Serve with French
dressing on crisp leaves of lettuce.
Chestnut souffie calls for a pint OF
cooked chestnuts rubbed through a
sieve. Thicker six tablespoonfuls of
hot milk with four level tablespoon
fuls Of -four rubbed smooth with two
Of butter. Add the yolks Of three
eggs beaten, two tablespoonfuls OF
sugar, and stir in lightly the stir
whites of four eggs. Bake 20 min
utes.
For chestnut pudding boil a pound
and a half of chestnuts and work them
to a paste. Cream half a cupful Of
butter with half a cupful Of sugar
and add the beaten yolks Of six eggs
stiff and fold them in lightly. Pour
in a buttered mold and steam for
an hour and serve with a sweet pud-
ding sauce.
