Latest PhOtOplay

A desperate struggle staged in
"Silk Hosiery" Enid Benefits latest
starring vehicle which will be shown

no man-to-man combat, but a contest
of angry women, with hairpins fly
ing, and a cleaning dagger flashing
in the dim light.
Miss Bennett, as Marjorie Bowen,
a modiste's model, finds a jewel and
letter that she has been sent to
obtain, in the possession of an UNI
scrupulous woman, and she battles
effectively for their recovery.
Her antagonist, Marie PAWS, we'll
known emotional actress, is Miss Ben
nett's equal in size and strength, so
that both nursed scratches and
bruises for several days afterwards
Their gowns were badly torn, and
there were enormous casualties in
hairpins.

the scene was completed. You new

For The !
Homemaker's Eve

If you need sour milk while
cooking and find that you have
none in the house, very good sour
milk, which will act the same with
soda as the real sour milk, can be
made by adding a few drops of
lemon to the fresh milk.
Denatured alcohol will remove
stains caused by oleomargarine
coloring.
Sift dry ingredients before
measuring if you wish accurate
measurements,
Slices of lemon, topped with
grated horseradish, make a tasty
garnish for veal.
Rub soiled places ON the rugs
with ammonia. If the color fades,
apply chloroform.
Leftover cauliflower may be
mixed with some other vegetable
and baked in scallop shells.
If ashes are allowed to accum-
ulate in the fireplace, they will
burn the feet off the andirons.
When a recipe calls for small
quantities of ingredients by
weight, DON'T forget your little
postal scale. 1t is convenient and
accurate if you are not the for
tunate possessor of a larger
kitchen scale.
Be sure to take an old fashioned
corn pepper on your camping trip
1t is invaluable in broiling meat,
bacon or fish, sausage or toastlng
bread over the campfire.
When winding the spring in the
window blind, place one end of it
I'M the keyhole of a door and you
can easily wind it without having
it slip.
Save the paper that comes with
a bolt of ribbon. 1t is most use
full when sewing fine fabrics such
as chiffon and thin silk because
being narrow, it is more conven
lent than larger pieces of paper
and it pulls away easily from th'
stitching.

The Old House on
The Hill ~

They wonder why she lives alone
Upon her hill so high;
They pity her because they feel
That Life has passed her by;
But ah they miss the things she
sees
In cleaning wastes of sky.
The clouds like carven ships that
drift
Upon an opal sea,
The bare oak branches delicate
And ebon tracery,
And that fair frock young April
brings
The little cherry tree!
She says: "They do NOT wait to
hear
The songs the North wind sings,
Sad songs the willows Groom to me
Glad songs the black bird sings;
Who walk on city avenues
Seem deaf to- beat of wings"
Within, beside her cracking fire,
Piled high with knotted pine,
Her books crowd thick on every
side,
Her polished brasses shine;
The thin old rug beneath her feet
Is rosy like rare wine!
She says: "These are the things
they loved,
The folk who once loved me-
That grim, dark highboy over
There,
These Canton cups for tea,
The brown-toned etchings ON the
wall,
andmother's tapestry!
"My fathers portrait gravely
smiles,
NV mothers candles CLEAN,
Strange fire shapes flicker on the
wall,
Grotesque yet gay they seem,
While from the embers faces peer,
Fantastic as a dream.
"They wonder why | live alone!
They never seem to see
That houses have an eerie spell,
A magic witchery,
And that at night the folk | love
Come stealing home to mel"
