First of Twilight
Musicale Series
Charming Affair

Seldom has the Oliver hotel been
the scene Of a more charming affair
than the first of the series of Twi-
light Musicales Thursday afternoon
when the Fine Arts quartet of Chi
cagO gave a program.
The tapestry room, beautifully ar
ranged with an imprOvised platform
furnished TO simulate a music room,
made an attractive setting for an en-
tertainment of splendid artistic value.
The audience which was almost as
large as the room would permit was
very appreciatlVe.
The quartet was composed of Ethel
Connely Cutler. first soprano; Clare
Livingston, first cOntralto; Margaret
Smith Lester, second soprano; Agnes
Hansel Harter, second cOntraltO. Each
of the voices displayed finish,
strength and sweetness and the quar-
tet work revealed a fine sense of pro-
portion in each. The gracious per-
sonalities of the singers added much
TO the charm of their singing.
The program was discriminating
and somehow seemed TO have been
made for the day, partaking of the
light, springlike atmosphere that
was welcomed Thursday after the
gloomy days of the past week. Per
haps for this reason Mendlessohn's
Spring Song" which the quartet sang
so beautifully was received with more
appreciation. if possible, than any of
the other quartet selections.
Most worthy of note, however, was
the delightful repertory OF folk songs
of which the quartet had great va
riety including Irish, Indian, GYPSY
and Negro.
Lovely in the extreme was the con-
Guiding group of old time songs, The
Low Back'd Car" Loves Old Sweet
Song" and Annie Laurie" To sing
these the musicians entered gowned in
quaint and beautiful costumes of the
1880 period with large hats 10 match,
each of a different color. For Roses
After Rain" they wore small flower
decked lace caps and carried arm
loads of roses.
The singers were introduced by Mrs.
Frank NJ. Smith who made few WELL
worded remarks concerning music and
it's true value. Mrs. Smith has been
instrumental in bringing about this
series, which promises TO be so de-
lightful
The next musicale will be Feb. %.

Fortunate Americana.

When the American citizen looks
abroad he feels inclined to give thanks
for the possession of system of gov.
ernment which. despite partisan DIFF
ferences. commands universal respect
and confidence. The exceptionally
high standard OF intelligence which
here prevails is a guaranty against
sudden movements in opposition to
the established order. The vast ma
1ority of the American people are
capable Of analyzing conditions. They
keep in close touch with the affairs
Of the world and with the circum.
stances of their own land. They are

CASSEROLE A GOOD FRIEND

stewed Shoulder of Mutton.

Choose small shoulder of mutton,
as lean as possible. have all the bones
removed and broken up, and roll up
the shoulder very tightly; put in a
saucepan one or two sliced carrots,
two medium-sized onions with two
cloves in one of them, 1k pints of
stock made from the bones, bunch
of herbs and rind of bacon; put in
the shoulder, cover down, and place
the pan over a good fire, bring it to
the boil, then draw the pan to one
side and let the contents simmer very
gently for three to four hours; when
half cooked turn the shoulder, when
cooked lift 1t out and keep it hot.
Skim the gravy, strain it, put It back
in the pan with the shoulder, and let
them simmer for another ten minutes,
or, if there is too much liquid, let the
simmering continue for a short time
longer. The vegetables should be care
fully saved, for If they are passed
through sieve they make an excel
lent soup with the addition of little
stock. SO that nothing need be wasted.

USE BRUSH IN The KITCHEN
Vegetables Cleaned With That Imple,
ment May Be Served With As
surance of Perfect Safety.

One of the best ways to wash vege.
tables is to provide yourself with
stout little brush, which should be
kept in convenient place by the
sink. With this you will find the
work of washing the vegetables will
be made great deal easier Then
there is something that concerns
house brushes of all kinds. When
they are in need Of cleaning, put tepid
water into pan, sufficient in quantity
to cover the bristles of the brush, but
not to reach the backs, which perhaps
would be injured by the water. Add
to the water three tablespoonfuls of
ammonia for each quart of water, then
put the brushes in to soak for ten
minutes. Rinse them well in cold wa
ter and set them to dry, with bristles
downward. In washing hair brushes,
be careful not to use soap. Instead,
dissolve a piece of soap in warm wa
ter and allow the bristles of the brush
to stand in the water. The bristles
will become white and clean. When
allowed to dry you will find that the
bristles will be just as stiff and firm
as ever they were and the backs of
the brushes will not have been hurt
by soap getting down into the places
where the bristles are set into the
backs. An old tooth brush is pretty
good thing to save. 1t may often be
found very useful in the kitchen
around cleanup times, in getting into
little inches where ordinary brush
or cloth would not reach.

old AS The RACE
Setting Aside a Period for
Thanksgiving Is a Custom
OF Remote Antiquity. q

THE idea is prevalent in the Unit
Y ed States that our Thanksgiving
is peculiarly an American custom
OF New England origin. This is true
in part only. The general observance
through many years of set day on
which to give thanks to Almighty God
for his blessings has made the custom
distinctively American; but its origin
long antedates the settlement of the
western continent, and we must look
elsewhere for it. The idea of Thanks:
giving day goes back to repotest an
tiquity. 1t is part Of natural religion,
and Is probably as old as the human
race. In written records. we have
ample evidence that the festival was
celebrated in connection with the
fruits Of the earth" by the ancient
Egyptians, the Jews, the Greeks and
the Romans. Long before Luther's
revolt from Rome in the sixteenth GEN.
tury 1t had been observed by the
Christians; and after the Reformation.
Thanksgiving days were in frequent
use by the Protestants, especially
those Of Er-land.
The festival appears early in Jewish
history. and. as 1t was connected with
the land and its possession. may have
had Canaanitish prototype. It's cele-
bration was annual. and each festival
continued through seven days. At the
beginning two vessels of silver were
carried in a ceremonious manner to
the temple, one full of water, the other
of wine. which were poured at the foot
Of the altar Of burnt offerings. always
on the seventh day of the festival"
Plutarch describes this ceremonial.

chus. He says: THE Jews celebrate

spread with all manner OF fruits, and
live in tabernacles made especially of
palms and ivy together. A few
days later they kept another festival
which was openly dedicated to Bac-
chus. for they carried boughs OF palms
in their hands. with which they went
into the temple. the Levites going be-
fore with instruments OF music"
Analogous to the Jewish festival
and possibly borrowed from It was
that Of the old Greeks. the Thesmor-
phia. This was feast to Demeter.
the goddess OF the harvest. It lasted
nine days and consisted of sacrifices
OF the products of the soil with obla-
tions Of wine, milk and honey" The
ocritus refers to it in the Seventh
1dyll," where Simichidas says: Now,
this Is our way to the Thalysia; for

TO MAKE WITH CHEsTNUTs
Variety of Good Things That Will Be
Appreciated by Those Fond Of
the Edible.

Chestnuts are liked by almost every
found indigestible. If they are boiled,
they are easily digested. This is
good way to boil them: Cut each
chestnut with cross on the stem end,
and tie them in a piece of cheesecloth
or put them in cheesecloth bag. Boil
them until tender in salted water
Then serve them with butter and salt,
as they are, or prepare them more
elaborately.
Chestnut custard is 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 cupful of butter, to a
paste. Add the yolks of six eggs beat
en- creamy, three-quarters of a cup
full of powdered sugar and half cup
full of cream, whipped stiff. Then fold
in lightly the whites of the eggs, beat
en- stiff, and heat in 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. Thicken six tablespoonfuls of
hot milk with four level tablespoon
fuls of flour rubbed smooth with two
of butter. Add the yolks of three
eggs beaten, two tablespoonfuls of
sugar, and stir in lightly the stiff
whites Of four eggs. Bake 20 min
utes.
For chestnut pudding boil pound
and half Of chestnuts and work them
to paste. Cream half a cupful of
butter with half cupful of sugar
and add the beaten yolks of six eggs
stiff and fold them in lightly. Pour
in buttered mold and steam for
an hour and serve with a sweet pud.
ding sauce.
