CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
AN ITCHING NOSE
By H. IRVING KING

THE idea that an itching nose means
1 that company is coming" or "a
stranger is coming" is now merely a
common and widespread superstition.
But 1t was not always thus. There
was a time when the nose actually
announced the coming of company or
a stranger, not by itching, it is true,
but by the exercise Of those keen
olfactory powers which 1t possessed
in the days of our primitive ancestors.
Scientists tell US that primitive
mans organs Of smell were so well
developed in acuteness and kept
sharp by constant use, that his olfac-
tory powers were equal, II not supe-
rior, to those possessed today by the
lower animals remarkable for their
gift Of scent. Many tribes of sayages
retain to this day extraordinary pow
ers in this respect. Mr.. Caveman was,
In all probability, rather high
scented creature and when he went
with a party of friends to visit the
dwelling of Mr.. Cliffdweller, If the
wind was right, that gentleman could
smell him coming long way off, just
as many Of the lower animals today
"snuff the tainted gale' and become
aware of the approach of their enc
mics before they can see them. Civil
lization has caused the sense of smell
to become atrophied in modern man
but though the nose has lost its
power 1t has retained its reputation
by means of popular superstition.

AS Told by
Irwin S. Cobb
AN ECHO FROM 1865

r RATHER guess they have been
between the states. Indeed for all
/ know to the contrary 1t may date
back as far as the first and second
Punic wars. For a good story never
really dies. 1t merely goes into re-
tirement for a season or a decade or
century and rises up again when
occasion suits with it's youth miracu-
lousy restored.
Now this present story may be Of
any age you please, but to the best OF
my personal knowledge and belief 1t
belongs to our own Civil war period.
/ know I first heard 1t years ago
from an old gentleman who had
served in a Texas regiment from
1861 to 1865. had almost forgotten
1t when here the other day a friend
wrote me telling the same yarn and
saying that he had it from his father.
The narrative runs that In the last
days of the war a ragged, wornout,
hungry, half-dead Confederate stray
gler was limping along a Virginia
highway striving to catch up with his
command. Where there was pud-
die in the ruts he stopped to battle
his bruised and bleeding feet. AS he
sat at the roadside dabbling his swol-
len toes in the water Union skir-
misher, well fed and lusty, stepped
from behind a tree with his musket
raised to his shoulder and yelled out
exultantly:
'Now got you'll"
"Yas," drawled the Southerner, IAN

spoonful of salt and one tablespoon
full of prepared mustard. Place half
the mixture in small creased pan,
press down and add layer of
chopped ham, using one and one-half
cupfuls; finish with the rest of the

Onion Sandwiches.-Chop fine
large Southern onion, mix with French
dressing and spread on buttered
bread and serve for supper sand

onion.
curried Eggs.-Cook six eggs in the
shell until hard, using three quarts
of boiling water poured over them,
then cover tightly and let stand one
half hour on the back of the stove.
They will be well cooked without be-
ing tough, provided the eggs were of
the room temperature when put to
cook. Remove the shells and cut the
eggs into halves. Fry teaspoonful
of onion in a tablespoonful of butter,
add one tablespoonful of cornstarch,
or two of -four, mixed with half
tablespoonful of curry powder. Pour
over one and one-half cupfuls of good
stock, cream or milk. Simmer until
well cooked, add the eggs and serve
on toast with the sauce poured over
the eggs and toast.
cupfuls of corn flakes, one cupful of
coconut, one egg white well beaten,
speck of salt, half teaspoonful of
vanilla and one cupful of sugar To
the beaten egg add the sugar, then
corn flakes, coconut and other ingre-
dents. Drop by spoonfuls on baking
sheet and bake in moderate oven.
Other kinds of nuts may be used if
coarsely chopped.
Date and Apple Pie.-Line pie
plate with rich crust, fill with a
mixture of chopped apples and dates,
using one cupful of dates to two of
apple Sprinkle with cinnamon. sugar
and dot with bits of butter. Cover
with a top crust and bake in a mod
crate oven one hour. Serve hot or
cold with ice cream, or whipped
cream.

Among the most striking of new ar
rivals are those made of black satin,
figured in bold, futuristic patterns in
vivid colors, or in conventional flow
ers-tulips for instance-in strong
colors. Figured chiffons are posed
over thin silks and bordered with
plain satin in these vivid negligees.
Softer colors appear in Powered chif-
fon showing big flowers against a plain
ground in light colors, as yellow, rose,
blue or green. Plain chiffon is used to
border these figured patterns and is
chosen to match the color III the back
ground. Just as colorful, but less airy,
are negllgees of taffeta or OF satin'
and many light Powered silks are

There was no denying that fact.

the stranger.
Then he put his hand inside his

Leaper the Locust made sudden

so eager that he sprang too far. He
sailed far over the strangers head
and landed some distance away.

ed for informal wear, with tailored or
other dresses of similar character.
Combinations of crepe or satin with
straw, all-satin, or intricately made
ribbon hats, contribute great num-
bers of hats of this kind to the modes.
For dressier wear there are many
dignified, high-crowned models in soft
straw or in hair braids trimmed with
masses of flowers in rich colors, or in
tricate ornaments made of ribbon or
other millinery materials. In nearly
all cases these are applied fiat against
the shape. Lines are so important
that trimmings must not interfere with

dressed, served and seasoned so that
1t is quite new. One does not wish
to so season any food that the orig
inal character and flavor Of the dish
is destroyed. Chicken is such a dain-
tily favored meat that it adds to
many dishes. No scrap or bone
should be thrown away until its pos
sibilitieS have been exhausted.
Chicken a la Marengo.-This dish
is said to have been one that was
originated for Napoleon after the
battle of Marengo: Cut up a five
pound chicken as for fricassee. Melt
two tablespoonfuls of butter in
fuls of the best live oil. When it is
hot add the dark meat of the chicken
and cook five minutes, then add the
white meat with salt, pepper and a
bit of garlic to season. Stir and cook
twenty minutes, until each piece is
golden brown. Have ready tomato
sauce made from a can of tomato,
slice of onion, carrot and a sprig of
parsley cooked thick and rubbed
through sieve; add one-half pound
OF fresh mushrooms and the chicken.
Cook the mushrooms in butter for five
minutes before adding Arrange the
chicken on platter, add three table
spoonfuls of strained tomato to the
gravy in the pan, stir until hot, pour
over the chicken and serve.
Chicken Saad-To a cupful of
tender bits of chicken-white meat
preferred-add two cupfuls of tender
white celery finely cut, handful of
shredded almonds all mixed with a
highly seasoned mayonnaise dressing.
Mothers Apple Pie.-FilI prepared
pastry shell with sliced apple, add two
or three tablespoonfuls of water and
put on the top crust. Bake slowly and
when done carefully remove the crust
with a sharp knife. Add sugar, spices
and butter to taste, mixing well, re-
place the crust and serve as usual.
This pie will retain all it's juices, never
running over.
