'Theatricals By
 AmateursNeed GoodCoach
ny JULIA lYpta HpyT

In my last article said that if you are contemplating amateur theatricais economize on anything but the coach Don't ever have an afneteur to coach No matter how good dancer an amateur may be, for instance, it is rare to find one who would know how to impart that knowledge to others. A girl or woman with no experience in handling people would have a difficult not to say impossible task, confront ing her.
 The coach well trained in her work has difficulty achieving any sort of discipline or sense of responsibility when dealing with amateurs. Imagine the choas if another amateur we're at the head. The impression I receive during my amateur days was that many amateurs seemed to feel that they were conferring favor by attending rehearsals at all and that in consequenct they were perfectly at liberty to joke and laugh, pay little or no attention to tlR2 words of the coach and generally make it az difficult for the coach. themselves and others, as possible. If things do not go right at the performance. however. who is blamed? The long suffering coach I once played the lead in a play called "The pantomime Rehearsal 1t was given for some charity and Ere dinand Gottschak Ca professionaD play ed in it and directed it. In britf, ~she story was the rehearsal of play done by amateurs and 1 played the leading miscreant and bad hehaver It is quite an amusing little one act play and cer- tainly true to life. found the part quite easy to play, subconsciously adied l suppose.
 In addition to achieving discipline through tact and force of personality, the coach must be very careful never to hurt anyone's feelings Git is amazing how quickly the feelings of amateurs can be hurt ). She must quickly size up her material almost without their knowing it and use Cverything to the best advantage. She must insist on absolutely no interference from her mother, members of committee, etc. and she must try at the beginning to get the respect and liking of the par. ticipants. They have not much sencs of duty generally. but if they like the coach and at the same tims are little afraid of her and she will accomplish much more.
 Sometimes quite difficult feats are demanded of amateurs. We ofter read in the paper of someone having to step into another persons part al few hours notice and I have seer the same thing happen in amateur theatricals. I can remember it happen ing to others but, only human. the two instances that stand out in my mimt are when it happened to me.
 The first time was in a Junior Lea que performance when few dayi before the performance was to takt place a young married woman who hat been rehearsing a quite difficult Orien tai dance for some weeks was throwr into mourning. The coach called mt on the telephone and I started re hearsing it at midnight that night.
 The other time was much more try ing. On leaving the dress rehearsal at six (the performance starting al

E lHsuhehtld Efficiency Expert)s,
 A famous French chef once wagered that with the same piece of meat he could make hundred different dishes- if he but varied the sauce And no one may hope to become even fair or pleas ing cook unless he masters the secrets of few fundamental sauces with which to dress up, dissuise ors give character to the same dish or f6od.a For many years the supremacy of the French or Latin cook has lain largely in his sauces, and every steward or chef of note has his own distinctive origina7 tions which render his dishes unique and most delicious:
 For the plain garden variety of house. wife there is first the white sauce,' which some one once spoke of is the American national dish! Unless over used, 1t has a fighfful place In Kitchen economy and can be chased aa thin, medium thick or truly thick. It may be prepared with flour and fat in defi- mite proportions and with any liquid, whether milk, stock, vegetable juice or meat gravy.

 The thin sauce is used largely in creaning vegetables, the medium sauce in creaming fish, eggs and for seal loped dishes, while the thick sauce is chiefly used in binding croquettes to- gether and in various forms of meat and other loaf dishes. =
 A second standard sauce is the brown sauce so common with meat In pro portions it is exactly the same as white sauce--viz., thin, medium or chick. But it should be made either with Drowned four prepared by standing flour in a shallow pan in slow oven, or with white flour colored with kitchen bou- quet. Any flavorings, such as celery, onion, carrot, etc., must be strained out of the sauce before serving. Frequent 1y in order to secure the flavor the vege- table may be fried out in the shorten ing, then removed and the satice made us usual. ,,,s,

 Tomato sauce can be merely: white sauce in which part of the liquid used Is canned tomato pulp such as in the familiar 10-cent can of tomato soup.

HAROLD MUNN HAS PRETTY BIRTHDAY PARTY

The lovely home of Mir. and Mrs. Grady Mum in Brundridge was the scene of a beautiful party Thursday afternoon when they entertained a number of little friends in honor of the second birthday of their small son, Harold. For the occasion the living room was decorated in green and red. As the guests arrived they were served punch by Mrs. G. NJ. Johnston. Later they were carried into the yard where the children were arranged for pictures. Then the children were brought back into the living room where delicious ice cream and cake were served by Mrs. John Cox of Troy and Mrs. Lee B. Ramage. Victrola selections were en- joyed throughout the afternoon. They played games of ball and blocks until time to go home; then each child was given bag of candy. Mrs. Mum was assisted in entertaining by the mothers of the little ones. Those enjoying the delightful party were Mary Louise and Margaret Johnston, Gwendolyn Owens, Hallie French, Eleanor Rodgers, Car olyn Rowe, Marguerite Haisten, Will lowease Dicker, Martha and Bernice Haire of Troy, Doris Morris of Abbe- vile, Bill and Hubbard Lee, Jim Ram. age, Will Mack Beane, little Mildred and Harold Mum.

simple butter sauce. For example, 8 tablespoonfuls butter, 8 yolks~ of eggs, F cup. rich cream, 2 tablesspoonfuls lemon juice, salt and pepper, make what is called Mousseline sauce, particularly liked on asparagus and other vegetables. Half of the butter is beaten to a cream, then add egg yolks, beaten in at a time, then few more spoonfuls of butter all over hot water When the butter and egg yolks are thick, always being careful that the heat is not sufficient to curdle the egg, gradually add the cream and seasonings and continue stirring constantly. A wire whisk is necessary for this beating and constant care of curdling, but when done it is very delicious.
 A cheese sauce Is merely chopped or grated cheese added to any white sauce, possibly with Worcestershire or similar snappy flavor .Hollandaise sauce is al- most like the Mouseline sauce above ex- cept that it is little more acid. It is very good on many kinds of fish.
 Either thin brown or tomato sauce may have minced vegetables added to it as an accompaniment to hearty meat dishes. In making the gravy of a

Stir constantly until smooth, season and strain. z There is no excuse for greasy gravy--except carelessness of the cook. Many a home gravy from a roast would be less monotonous if catsup, chili sauce; chopped olives. a sprig of mint, capers or horseradish

Remove any excess of the natural fat. then slowly stir in blended shortening or butter with flour, a tablespoon of each, and continue stir ring until smooth. Cornstarch gives a smoother gravy but one more glassy and less pleasant Small quantities of brown and other sauce may be kept cold and airtight and relocated to add to the variety of otherwise monotonous foods.
