Barnard, Of the Yerkes Observatory

Winnecke's comet was discovered in
1858. 1t moves in an elliptic orbit
around the sun. SO far it has never
come nearer than several million miles
from the earth. How near it will APP

brightness, will make its nearest APP
proach TO the sun on May 10, according
to word received at Harvard from Or.
Leuschner, Of the University of Cali
fornia
The orbit Of Reds comet has been
computed by Messrs Einarsson and
Meyer, oil the students observatory at
the University OF California, says DR.
Leuschner in his message. On April
16 it will be four and one-half time S
brighter than when it was discovered
and on April Is about seven and one
half times brighter.
If Reid's comet keeps on increasing
in brightness at its present rate the
Harvard astronomers predict that il
soon will be visible to the naked eye
The comet is at the present situated
just to the east of the star Gamma in
the constellation Cygnus.

1t deserves a place in the

piece of work in which the readers
interest is captured from the begin

Charms That Make
the Hostess

/ Not every woman possesses that
inborn graciousness that makes the
practice of hospitality sort of sec
ond nature to her. Yet every woman
can acquire the manner needed to
make her guests welcome.
To begin with. guests should be
made to feel welcome, not only by
the pretty ccnrtcsies that are ex-
tended to them. but by the words
and attitude OF every member OF the
family they visit. Even the glad
smile of child OF the house is a
welcome that any one might envy.
This attitude of welcome is natural
to some of us; but all Of US can ac-
quirc it. and children so quickly copy
the manners OF their elders and re-
fleet the home atmosphere that they
can be depended on to do their part
So much for the general atmos-
phcre that bctokens kindly breed
ing. Now for the actual attentions
of a social sort that you may pay
your guest.
You may, toward the early part
of her stay with you, plan some sort
of party--anything from most in
formal knitting tea to formal din
ner or dance.
Some very dear friend, perhaps
under some, social obligation to you,
may give this first party for your
guest-a tea, perhaps, or a dinner.
Such tea is naturally informal; in
these days the guests are quite cor
rectly asked by 'phcne.

give your family proper meals. After
all, it depends upon what you mean
by proper meals.
The human body has certain needs
in the way of food. Too great a
number of us eat only to satisfy our
palates without another thought to
the real reasons for eating. Why do
we cat? To give us strength to do
our work. To renew the worn-out
tissues of the body and incidentally
to give our palatcs certain amount
of pleasure.
To go back, however, to the ques-
ton of the chocolate cake which
takes two hours to prepare. What
does it contain? Flour, milk, eggs,
chocolate, sugar Suppose we give
these same ingredients to the family
in another form. Let's call it a
luncheon. The -four might be served
in the form of toasted bread. Butter

What S What
BY HELEN DEcIE

The easiest and most charming
way of entertaining friends during
the summer months is by way Of an
"at home" outside of the house, on
the porch or on the lawn, if there is
available space not visible from the
public street or roadway.
Afternoon tea on the veranda or
under a tree is served just as for
indoor affairs. Usually the tea wagon
and chairs are of dickerwork, but
there is no hard-and- fast rule in these
matters. Tea is poured by the daugh-
ter of the house or by visiting
friend, leaving the hostess free to re-
ceive and introduce the guests. With
the tea is served the customary loaf
sugar, fancy cakes and choice of
lemon or cream. On a warm after
noon there should be iced tea ready
for those who prefer a cool bever-
age. This is served in tall glasses.
with sliced lemon and powdered
sugar.

How toMakeGooc
Fudge Creamy

Many people find it difficult to
make Judge. because it suddenly
turns grainy just as it is about fn-
ished.
If made the following way it will
be found to be creamy and will re-
main moist for lengthy time:
To two cupfuls of sugar add cup
full of milk and two ounces Of choco-
late. Cook this mixture until it
forms very soft ball in water. Then
add vanilla and piece Of butter the
size of walnut and allow to cool in
the pan in which it, was cooked.
When it has become almost cold,
beat or stir until it begins to thicken,
If nuts are desired, add just before
turning the candy into buttcred
pan.
Omaha daily bee., 1921-07-16

might accompany this. The egg
might be made into an omclet or a
soft-cooked egg, The chocolate,
milk and sugar might be made into a
beverage.
Compare the amount of time
necessary to prepare the luncheon
containing practically the same in
gradients as the chocolate cake. The
Is minutes it takes to prepare the
luncheon is far short of two hours,
Far be it from the writer Of this to
decry chocolate cake. 1t is. perhaps,
one of the gastronomic delights. 1t
is cited merely as an example; for
the housewife who has to do all her
own.work must study as to how to
save her energy.

We have come to learn through
many sad experiences that real
strength is gained by cooperation.
Have you ever thought of applying
this to the meals of summer? Three
women whom | know tried it last
summer and it worked so beautifully
that they are enlarging the number
of co-operators this year.
They found that il you buy
smoked ham by the slice you pay
more for it than il you buy whole
ham. The three housewives decided
to buy the ham together. One
cooked it. Then it was divided.
Finally they decided that one woman
was to do the cooking of both
Omaha daily bee., 1921-07-16

luncheon and dinner for one day out
of three. Each housewife in turn
was practically free after breakfast
two days out of three.
Another good feature about this
cooperative work is the fact that
we come to know that there arc
many desirable dishes besides the
limited number we know. This is
good for any family from several
standpoints, 1t keeps the family
from becoming slaves to any one
form of cooking. But, better than
all it gives the housewife certain
freedom from constant cooking.

Saw You're Sorry.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been
going with a fellow for about five
months. 1 love him dearly and am
sure my love is reciprocated. HE IS
is and I16. We had many foolish
ouarrels, but he always came back
and asked me to get glad at him.
The other night we had serious
quarrel. which proved fateful: he
asked me to give him another chance
and I stubbornly refused him ana
told him that my answer was NO,
and that never wanted to see MIN
again. l must have been crazy at
that moment. because if 1 wasn't l
would never have said those words.
Now I realize that this boy meant
the world to me and that If he does
not come back to me l can only
blame my foolish self. Should l
20 to him and tell him that l am
sorry, or should l wait for him 10
return? hAiE'
Write him a note and tell him you
are sorry for your harsh words
What is the use of withholding the
word that will patch up quarrel,
even il your pride has to suffer IN
doing IL? You get over the hurt to
your pride with a smile from the
otksr rereoa. and it takes long
