NEW YORK, July 22,--It is not re-echoing the wnimsey of song writer to say The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You" when one considers the turn in the career of the black thatched Billy Rose. It would not surprise this observer if he never came back to Broadway except, per- haps, to attend one of Fannie Brice's openings or to confer with his staff of theatrical agents.
 And to understand it you have but to spend day or so in and around Fort Worth, where Rose and "a sizeable contingent from Broad way are summering for the second year in succession.
 As he himself put 1t in an ad- dress the other night, "the only way to get along with Texan is to be |on the square with him"

 Two more for lunch six more for dinner each means the same thing: quick thinking by the hostess.
 A shelf stocked with ingredients for easy-to-prepare summer meals and afternoon refreshments is more indispensable at this time of year than at any other.
 One Main Dish
 The impromptu supper or dinner usually centers around main dish. Such dish may be hot or cold, de- pending on the weather and the time necessary for preparation.
 Cold meats-such as baked or boiled ham, meat loaf (baked or .jellied) or boiled tongue-are con- venient.
 Canned spiced meats and corned beef will be found very filling. Pork tenderloins, cooked and chilled, are considered by many people to be as delicious as chicken, although the latter usually tops list of favor ties.
 Fresh or canned fish may be mixed into salads and sandwich mixtures. It also may be creamed, <Jnui1lnd
