aJUsT HOwr TO
MAKE A GOOD OMELET

A reader friend has written to ask |
me how to make n PUFFY Omelct" J

readers who would like 70 know Just
how" to make this dish.
A good omclet is not as hard thing

that some housekeepers prefer TO COOK
eggs in almost any other way than in
this form, yet II they follow the direc-
tions given below they Will not shy
at the making OF an omelet IN the fu-
ture. Try this good supper;

Swedish omelet: Separate the
whites from the yolks of four eggs.
Beat the whites stiff and put them in
the refrigerator for few minutes.
Now put into a small bowl ] cup sweet
milk. 1 tablespoon -four. u teaspoon
salt and dash OF pepper; mix well
and strain through a sieve. Beat the
yolks well, add TO them milk and
-four mixture, mix well, then fold in
the stiffIy- whipped whites. There is
quite a little "knack" about folding
the whites in correctly; they must be
folded in only partly, so that whole
portions OF frothy whites will be float
ing here and there. If the whites are
mixed in too thoroughly, there will
not be aus mach puffiness TO the omeiet.
A certain amount OF watery yolk-and-
milk will float under the fluffy top part
after you have finished folding in the
whites. Heat your frying pan very
hot. grease bottom and sides with but

| and let il cook over very moderate
heat until set and the bottom begins
TO brown. Then keep slipping broad,

pretty well Drowned on bottom take

not have to brown, but just to set. II
you have a broiler---tfat is, burner

shall be,

For none my magic spell can sever,
/ hold you in my power forever.
OF course if she had been an old
witch she would not have said the
last line, because all magic spells that
are used by witches or ogres or such
magic folk as they have to give one
way of escape for the victim, but as
the Witch Woman was young she was
vain enough to think she could do
anything she wished, and so she did
for a while, as you shall learn.
The Princess now under her spell
did everything the Witch Woman told
her and rWeekly sat down at her COM
mand and began to spin at a silver
spinning wheel, where the Witch
Woman had been making a silver
cape from wonderfully soft silvery
yarn.
She did not have much time TO
tarry, for she knew that the Palace
would be in a tumult if it were dis
covered that the Princess was gone,
SO of the Witch Woman flew on her
broomstick and was soon smuggling
down among the soft pillows where
the Princess had once slept.
But in her hurry she forgot to take
her white kitten and the Princess soor
found that playing with the kitten was
far more fun than spinning, so she
broke off a piece of silver yarn and
winding it into a ball she quickly made
friends with the white kitten.

OF course, she had to return the rea

WHY?

Why Do We Refer to an apple Of
Ufseordf-


At first thought, this phrase might
be supposed to date all the way back
TO the Garden of Eden, where the
apple which Eve is reputed to have
plucked from the Tree OF knowledge
OF Good and Evil created more dis
cord and led TO more trouble than any
other similar fruit In history. But,
as IT happens. the apple referred to
in the Book OF Genesis has nothing
TO do with the case. for the phrase is
connected with a fruit in Greek myth
ology, rather than in the Old Testa-
ment.
The legend in question states that
there was once a wedding on Olympus
and that all the gods and goddesses
were invited with the exception OF
EriS the goddess os discord. Eris,
however. with n truly feminine knowl-
edge of how 10 break up a party,

apple bearing the inscription "for the

tried to bribe Paris and Venus, god

him the most beautiful woman on
earth-for which she was awarded
the apple. In return, she helped

DEMPSEY ON EDGE.
FOR T|TULAR BOUT,
ENDS HARD WORK
Champion Could Enter Ring
Tomorrow, Declares Kearns;
Weighs 1914 Pounds.

Atlantic City, June 26-Jack Demp-
sey is at the wire edge of his training
for the defense of his title against
Georges Carpenter at Jersey City,
next Saturday afternoon. The champ
ion ended his hard work with a
minute workout in his open air arena
Sunday afternoon. Monday he will rest
and begin the tapering off process
Tuesday.
The program mapped out for the tit
le holder leading up to the day of the
contest calls for the last public appear
ance on Wednesday. He probably will
not work with heavyweight sparring
partners in his final two days of box
ing, but face smaller and lighter op-
ponents to increase his speed and
sharpen judgement Of distance. He also
will cut down his road work to long
walks with an occasional sprint to
sharpen his wind
Jack hearns, his manager, said that
Dempsey never was in better cordi-
ton and that he could enter the ring
tomorrow.
Our hardest task has been to keep
him from entertaining" Kearns said
He is bigger and stronger than he was
when he defeated Willard at Toledo.
and l am convinced that he is even d
greater fighter. He is through with his
hard work, From now on, it will be a
loaf until he finishes up on Thursday. y
Dempsey scaled exactly 1914 pounds
before he climbed into the ring Sunday.
He plans to take off three or four
pounds in the two final workouts, but
kearns said he may go into the ring
at 49, instead Of 100 pounds.

FOR DEMPSEY BOUT
viii Emerge From Ring
Champion if My Every Bone
Broken, He Declares.

Manhasset, n. Y, June 26-Georges
Carpenter will go into the ring at
Jersey City next Saturday with only
one thing in mind-a firm determine
ton to wrest the worlds championship
from Jack Dempsey. This was the as
sertion Sunday of Gus Wilson, the
challenger's chief trainer.
There will be no snap for Jack
Dempsey" Wilson said. HE will have
to be more than great fighter to
beat Georges. Never before in his
fighting career has Carpenter display
ed such determination as he does to-
day. When he talks of the fight he
grits his teeth and clenches his fists,
and remarks. He shall not beat ME.
Something tells me that l can defeat
him and / shall do it. His hardest blows
will not find me and those he lands
l know I can stand"
The challenger attaches a great deal
of sentiment to the hundreds of letters
he receives daily from war veterans
and other Americans in all walks of
life.
They want me to win," he said.
They expect me to emerge from the
ring, champion, and / will not disap-
point them if every bone in my body
is broken
Rain started falling Sunday at the
camp and the challenger was compelled
to stay indoors until 8 o'clock. Then
the clouds rolled by for a spell and he
went to the woods with Paul Journee.
They were out for about two hours
running, skipping, shadow boxing and
performing acrobatics. In the after
noon he took a long walk.
