The costliness of transportation and
maintenance is too great to permit
Of good opera visiting all sections
of the United States. but what cannotI
be accomplished in actuality has been
done by means of the RADIO. The
Metropolitan has recognized the edu-
cational value of the broadcasts and
heartily Endorsed the work of the
guild in bringing all helpful data to
the unseen audience. When the
country has become more opera
minded the next step will be to de-
mand and give support to more opera
companies with the resulting op-
portunities for native singers to come
into their own.

Another unique feature of the

Fund for Students" The fund grew
out Of the desire of certain guild
members to commemorate the names
Of great artists, past and present,
and the suggestion of other generous
minded individuals TO establish a
fund for the purchase of opera tickets
for the benefit of deserving music
students"
With the cooperation of l6 music
schools and colleges, $1,000 was used
to buy tickets for the performances,
which we're resold at a greatly re-
duced price to young people who
otherwise could not afford to attend
the opera.
The students were prepared by ad-
vanced reading and other means, and
required to write their opinions after
they had heard the operas. Some
Of these have shown unusual discri-
mination, and have proved helpful in
determining what operate offerings
are most acceptable and interesting
to the public.

Pupils Give Recital

THE Lucker-Huff Studio of Piano
Study and Speech Arts, located
in Takoma Park, and under the direc-
ton of Marguerite Mcdonald Lucker

their pupils in a recital Saturday
evening in the Takoma Park Presby-
terian Church auditorium.
The program consisted of a three
act play. The Three Spinners, "
taken from the fairy tale by the same
name. In the third act the queen
of the play acted as mistress of cere-
monies for the students of piano, who,
representing various countries, had
come to entertain at court. Those
participating in the recital were Jean

Of course it isn't incorrect for
you to have church wedding.
The fact that your parents live
abroad and will not be able to
come to your wedding does not
mean that you cannot or should
not have a church wedding. BY
all means do plan to have your
wedding in church, since you
wish it. It's the place to have a
wedding, the very best place.
Your wedding can be very much
a family affair, with the fine plan
OF having your brother present you
in marriage, and having your sis
ter and her husband giving the
wedding reception for you.
I cannot imagine why in the
world your friends should think
that there is anything incorrect
about such beautiful plan for
your wedding. Don't pay the

THE THING TO DO

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Eve thought they liked each
other when they first came to
work in our division, so we played
all kinds of practical jokes on her
and made it appear he originated
them. Then we wrote muShy
poetry to him and signed the
initial Of her first name.
"They became furious with each
other, and he asked for, and sue
ceeded in getting, a transfer to
another office.
"She keeps on doggedTy, but she
isn't as lively as she used to be,
and we feel rather mean about the
whole business. We are thinking
Of giving q party and inviting them
both unbeknOwnSt' to each other
and then Tossing up what we did.
What would you think of this?
CONVENIENT WORKERS"
Are you sure of that signature? ?
And don't you think practical
Jokers" would be more to the
point? The only decent thing
would be to 'fess up what you have
done to these two young people.
But for mercy's sake don't throw
that kind of a party. 1t seems to
me it would only make matters
worse.

SHE LIKES HIM
Dear Miss Fairfax:

81 met a girl at our school dance
and / like her very much. We
have met occasionally since then
and have talked. Now it happens
that 1 want to go out with her
and do not know how to ask her
for her company. She has told
me many times that She likes me,
and has also said that she goes
out alone maybe that was my
cue, but I really do not know.
"It's not often that I've had to
ask advice about dating a girl
asking her company, 1 mean-but
she's the only one / care to go
with. "HENRY."
Just invite her and go, as she
has given you every encourage
ment by telling you she sometimes
goes out alone.
Many young men seem to have
the idea that they must TASK for
her company" which, not at all
necessary, frequently involves boys
in serious affairs when all they
want is a pleasant casual friend
ship. It's enough to invite a girl
for several dates without involving
yourself in "futuritieS."

Carefully Tested Cake Recipes to Eliminate Failures

"Dear Miss Fairfax:
"SOme time ago your column
published a very interesting letter
from q man who said he was
looking for an Old-faShiOned type
Of wife, one who would look up
to him and wear an apron.
"And while know your column
never exchanges addresses or acts
as a gO-between among cOrre-
SpOndentS, felt a pang when I
read that letter.
Perhaps you'll think me silly,
but I'm exactly that type Of
woman. I'd like to look up to
some man, and I'd like to wear
an apron around the house.
For the past six years I've had
a very good job in an office. Pm
said to do the work well and /
have a fair salary. but 1 should
love to have a home of my own
and it would be an added pleas
ure to wear an apron.
FELICIA"
Well, my dear Felicia, if I
turned over all the letters which
came from girls saying they'd be
only too glad to wear an apron
and look up to a husband, the
gentleman would have to be an
old-fashioned type Of Mormon, or
a Turk with a harem, to accom-
modate them all.
But, as you say, we never ex-
change addresses or introduce
correspondents. So here's wish
ing you meet the type you're look
ing for, in some perfectly con-
ventional way.

A widow uses the same form OF
name that she used when her hus-
band was living. That is, her
formal name is Mrs. John Smith.
This is the name she uses, for
instance, on her visiting cards, in
the listing in the telephone book;
and this is the name we should
use when we address envelopes
to her, whether social or business.
Never should she use the form
Mrs. Jane Smith unless she is in
formed to do so on certain legal
papers. Jane Brown Smith is her
informal name, her informal sig
nature.
For instance, when she writes
a social letter to a person whom
she does not know very we'll, but
who does know her formal name,
then she signs:
Very sincerely yours,
Jane Brown Smith
Tor Jane SMITH.
When she writes a business let
ter, or a letter to someone like me,

which the answer to that letter is

Daily Walk Is
Aid to Health
By DONNA GRACE

It is exciting news to those
thousands of girls who have
chosen a professional life, and
who, by that regime, have cut off
any major participation in sum-
mer sports, to hear that it is smart
to take a daily walk.
On all sides you hear of the de-
lightful walks to be found on the
cityS avenues and boulevards;
past the sidewalk cafes that are
so popular and past the pools and
gardens of the city'S Towering
parks.
The women who need physical
exercise most are often the ones
who never have a chance to in.
dulge in any games. The girl who
sits at a desk: the one who stands
behind a counter, or even the
housewife who makes her work a
routine, all become fatigued, but
really do not have correct physical
exercise.
Walk Best For Beauty
There is. however, one grand
and glorious outdoor exercise open
to everyone, and that is walking.
The regular daily walk will do
more for health and beauty than
any other outdoor game.
Do you know that walking Is
being made fashionable? Yes, in
deed, walking is coming back to
its own. There are many groups
being organized to encourage this
form of outdoor exercise.
The parks are always access
able for those who do not wish
to explore the forests and noun
tain pathways. If it is impossible
to leave the house, the next best
thing to do is to raise the win
dows and do a daily set of ex-
erciSeS at home.
My normalizing exercises will
give you the correct movements
for every muscle. which will re-
suit in a stimulated mental and
physical energy.

Many skilled cakemakers find
it rather hard to make this type
of cake successfully. While the
rules for making it are simple, it
is important that they be followed
to the letter.
Checking back on some of your
failures may help you overcome
this difficulty. In case your cake
was underSized and heavy, it may
have been because your egg whites
were underbeaten, that not enough
air was whipped into them. Or the
ingredients were oVermiXed SO
that this precious air was lost.
Many Obstacles
Other causes of failure are too
much sugar, an oven too hot, too
large baking pan, and removing
the cake from the pan before the
cake is cold.
When the cake runs over the
top of the pan during the baking,
too much batter was used. Usually
the recipe also includes the size
pan that the cake can be baked in
most successfully. In case this
information is not given, good re-
suits are obtained by filling the
pan only two-thirds full.
When the cake falls, check back
on the amount of sugar used. The
sugar should always be Sifted be-
fore it is measured so that no more
or less than the exact amount
called for will be used. Another
thing that will cause the cake to
fall is to take it from the oven
before it is done or to open the
oven door while it is cooking.
Tested Recipes Best
often a cake which has a de-
liciouS taste may hump in the
middle or rise more on one side
than the other. The hump comes
from having the batter too dry
using too much flour or losing
moisture by overbeating the eggs.
Too hot an oven will cause it to
rise unevenly. Not spreading the
batter evenly on the pan or hav-
ing uneven heat in the oven will
cause one side of the cake to rise
more than the other.
If the texture of the cake is
coarse, perhaps you used bread
flour instead of cake flour, or un-
derbeat the egg whites.
These are the most common
causes of failure. 1t is important
that you use a standard, carefully
tested recipe. If you are not posi-
tive that the recipe you are try
ing has been used successfully,
mix your next cake from this
recipe.
Angel Food Cake
! cup of Sifted cake flour
IA cups of sifted granulated
sugar
/ teaspoon of cream of tartar
"a teaspoon of salt
cup Of egg whites G to 10
eggs)
l teaspoon of vanilla
Measure sifted flour. Sift four
more times. Beat the egg whites
with a flat wire beater. When
foamy, add the salt and cream
of tartar. Continue beating un-
til the eggs are stiff enough to
hold up in peaks but are not
dry.
Fold in sugar carefully, 2 table
spoons at time. Add flavoring.
Sift a small amount of flour over
the mixture. Lift in carefully.
Continue adding flour until all
is used. Pour into an ungreaSed
cake pan and bake in a slow
oven for one hour.
Start the oven at 275 degrees.
