HOUSEWIVES DAILY "

Personal Recipes.

Any young housewife ought to buy one
or two standard recipe books If she is
not an experienced cook, for these books
will be valuable. In them she can find
out how to cook anything which she may
wish to cook. and in them she will find
much wisdom concerning food.
But as the housewife becomes more and
more experienced she depends more and
more on q cookbook which she herself
compounds. This can, If she wishes. be
one Of the standard books with blank
pages inserted for the recipes she herself
gathers. It can be box Of cards on
which recipes can be written: or It can be
a blank-book of convenient size and
shape. The point Is that 1t must be
something. on which the housewife her
self can record her experiences and write
the recipes she gathers.
In various families there are naturally
enough various tastes. We try out a re-

sweet. so we rewrite the recipe. leaving

cooking experience and must be recorded
in our personal recipe book.
There Is only one danger in becoming
an experienced cook. and that is that you
will become a monotonous cook. For that
reason it is very good plan to enter in
a little notebook or on cards the different
recipes, salads, soups and vegetables, des-
serts and sandwiches that you from time
to time serve. Then you will be sure
never to lose track entirely Of something
your family likes. Once there was a
housekeeper who entirely forgot, for sew
eral months, that there was such a thing
as macaroni. She cooked it in many de-
licious ways and her family liked 1t very
much, but she stopped serving 1t when
warm weather came one spring. and when
winter came again forgot all about it. II
was with a sense Of having been cheated
that her family finally remembered it.
One Of the standard recipe books Is
helpful for the same reason-it suggests
new ways of cooking familiar foods and
serves as a reminder of forgotten dishes

1.-THE story Of ''The Prince of Pilsen",
the delightful musical comedy by Dix
ley and Luders, which will be seen at
The Opera House this evening. takes
players and audience to Nice during
the Carnival Of Flowers. The fete is
at its height when the proprietor OF
the Hotel Internationale learns that
the Prince Of Pilsen, who is travelling
incognito is prospective visitor and
may be expected to arrive at any time.
With an eye to the main chance the
Boniface spreads the news and pre-
pares to receive the guest with the
pomp and circumstance betting the
Prince. He employs band OF mu-
sicians to meet the distinguished guest
at the railway station, engages bevy
Of girls to strew flowers, and lends
every effort to the end Of giving the
scion of royalty fitting welcome.
It happens that Hans Wagner, a
brewer from Cincinnati, U. s. A.. &C
companied by his daughter, is on his
way to Nice to meet his son, who is
lieutenant on an American ship WIS.,
iting that port. On debarking from the
train, Wagner is mistaken for the
prince by the leader Of the band, and
music, flowers and much homage well
come him to the Riviore. The brewer,
much amazed at his reception. at first
protests but at length concludes that
the popular acclaim for the Prince of
Pilsen is due to the prestige Of his
brand Of Pilsen beer.
When the real prince, a dashing stu
dent from Heidelberg, arrives with his
suite, he is not only ignored, but even
finds difficulty in securing accommo-
dations at the hotel. He is told that
the Prince Of Pilsen's presence at the
hosiery leaves little room or time for
entertaining others. He decides not to
disclose his identity but to await ia
vorable opportunity for exposing the
impostor. Hwever, he happens to meet
Nellie Wagner. the brewers daughter,
and a minutes conversation with her
is enough to show him that the Amer
leans are innocent Of any part in the
deception-that the situation has been
forced upon them. In full enjoyment Of
the affair he remains a commoner and
permits the laundering brewer to in
volve them both in series of ludi-
crous situations, but falling in love
with Nellie, the real prince finally de-
clares himself, and happily ends the
