Dear Miss Dix: I have q bad
case Of filters and here is the rea-
son: An old fame Of my husbands
has come back to town, after hav-
ing lived in the East for several
years, and he has been seen out
with her. The first time I heard
of it I wasn't SO terrible upset. as
there was another gentleman with
them, so I took 1t for granted that
the other man was her escort. But
since then my husband and the
lady have been seen alone and I
feel sure that he still thinks a
great deal Of her. She isn't a
young woman any more, but they
tell me she still retains much Of
her good looks. I must admit that
the lady in question has always
been a most wonderful character
and has lived a fine, clean life.
Yet I am simply bursting to let
him know that he isn't putting any
thing over on me and that I know
she is back in town and that they
have been seen out together two
or three times. Shall do this, or
would you just let the affair ride?
WORRIED.
Answer-You are one of the wom-
en- who explain why husbands have
to lie to their wives and why they
have to do things secretly and un-
der cover when they would much
rather be frank and open about
them.
A perfectly commonplace thing
has happened that no doubt your
husband would like to talk over
with you, but your idiotic jealousy
forces him to keep silent about it
to save a scene. He can't say to
you: MARY Jane" or whatever her
name is, "is In town and I met
her on the street and took her
to lunch," because if he did you
would raise the roof. Still less can
he suggest your inviting her to
dinner. so If he sees her at all he
has to do 1t on the sly and make an

ing change, you may like to use to-
matoes with the cheese in one of
these dishes.
When cheese is combined with
vegetables, it supplies protein to
make the vegetables suitable as a
main dish. Cheese goes especially
well in scalloped potatoes, cabbage
corn or a mixture of vegetables.
And q tangy cheese sauce dresses
up cooked broccoli, caulifower or
asparagus.
American Cheese
Most Popular.
The cheese most often used in
cooking is the familiar golden-yel-
low kind, known as American or
chedder. Young American cheese is
mild in flavor and soft in texture.
AS it ages, it takes on sharp and
tangy flavor, and it becomes dry and
crumbly.
The kind of cheese you choose
depends on personal likes and dis
likes. But, in general, the we'll
aged kind is more suitable for cook
ing purposes because it has more
flavor.
Since cheese and milk are both
protein foods, they need to be han
died with care in cooking. Cheese
is especially temperamental when
heat strikes it.
The first caution in cooking cheese
is to keep the temperature low. In
fact, cheese should not really be
cooked" but merely heated enough
to melt 1t. Overheating toughens
the cheese and makes it stringy.
When the cheese is used in a
baked dish, such as scalloped vege-
tables or macaroni and cheese, it is
best to blend the cheese in the sauce
before it is mixed with the other
ingredients. Then it is not so likely
to become stringy when heated. But
be sure to take the sauce off the
fire first-to melt the cheese with
out overheating it.
When cheese sandwiches are
toasted under a broiler flame, the
bread "insulates" the cheese against
too much heat. If the sandwich Is
the open-face variety, it is espe-
cially important to have a very low
flame.
Break Into
Small Bits.
A second rule for making sue
cessful cheese dishes is to break the
cheese into small pieces before you
heat it. Cheese, broken into small
bits, will spread more evenly among
the other ingredients of the dish
and it will cook in less time than
when left in big lump. Breaking
the cheese in small pieces also pre-

vents the formation of a solid curd
when the fat melts out.
Grating is the easiest way to break
up the cheese, If it is fairly dry.
Otherwise, you can fake 1t with a
fork or shave 1t thin.
Either the grated, faxed or
shaved cheese can be used when the
cheese is melted in a sauce. But
when cheese is mixed in a batter
or dOugh-as for mullins, bread or
biscuits-it must be grated first.
These fine particles can be thor
oughly mixed with the dry ingre-
dients so the cheese will not cling
together and become stringy.
Cheese toast is one of the unusual
cheese dishes suggested by the Bu-
reau Of Home Economics. 1t makes
an excellent lunch or supper dish
when served with crisp bacon, a
gren salad and some simple fruit
dessert. It's a time saver recipe,
too, because the cheese mixture can
be made the day before it's used.
CHEESE TOAST.
! pound cheese
1'cup rich milk or cream
2 tablespoons flour mixed with
2 tablespoons water
2 eggs.
4 drops tobasco sauce or q
Few grains of cayenne pepper
A little onion Juice II desired
u teaspoon salt
IL teaspoons baking powder
Shave the cheese into thin, small
pieces. Heat the milk or cream in
a double boiler, thicken with the
flour, which has been mixed with the
water, and cook for five minutes.
Add the beaten eggs, the cheese and
the seasonings, and cook slowly un-
til the cheese has melted and the
mixture Is thick and creamy. Allow
it to cool; then add the baking pow
der.
Toast one side of the bread.
Spread the cheese mixture thickly
on the untoasted side to the very
edge. If the cheese mixture does
not come to the edges of the bread
they become brown and hard. Brown
the cheese delicately under a low
broiler flame or in the oven. If de-
sired, place a strip Of crisp bacon
across each slice of cheese toast.
Serve it hot from the oven. This
recipe makes enough for IL to IA
slices of bread.
The cheese mixture, except for the
baking powder, may be prepared the
day before 1t is to be used. Since
the mixture stiffens on standing,
heat until soft in double boiler, let
it cool and add the baking powder.
Then spread the cheese on the bread
and toast.

is fully $1,o51,459O7.
The report, made public by Lester
Z. Badger, secretary to the governor,
in Governor Stassen's absence, showed
that the savings resulting from reduc-
ton in the number of employees were
somewhat less during the first half Of

had chance to make their full effect
felt
The average number of EMPLOYEES
during the first six months of 1880
was 2,S32 less than during the first six
months of 1893, the payroll examina-
tion disclosed, but this figure increased
to 4,65l for the last half of 1899 as
compared to the last half of 1888. For
the whole year, the average in 1899
was 3,49l less than in 1888.
Total payrolls of all state depart
ments were $2,555.627.33 less in. 1880
than in 1888, the report showed. OF
this saving, $604, 1926 came in the

Marion Anderson Worlds
Most Famous Contralto
AT Auditorium March 20

Marian Anderson, who last June
Gang at the White House for the King
and Queen of England, was bern and !
reared with her two sisters in Phila- I,
delphia's Negro quarter. Her father
sold ice and coal. Mrs. Anderson, ex-
school mistress from Lynchburg, Va,
helped by taking in washing.
Marian at six apeared publicly in
duet with another little girl in the
Union Baptist Church on Twelfth and
Fitzwater Streets, singing "The Lord
Is My Shepherd. :" AT eight Marian
was announced as "the baby contral-
to- earned her first fee: 50 cents;
graduated from the Junior TO the
"grown-up" choir, sometimes substitute
ing for an absent soprano. tenor or
bass. To- this she attributes the
range and timbre of her phenomenal
voice
When her father dies, 12-year-old
Marian was forced to seek engage
ments, mostly as assisting artist" to
visiting performers, but audiences
; came to listen to HER.
After Marian completed her high
school course, the people of her church
collected nickles and dimes into
fund for Marian AndersonSs future"
A scholarship was given her by Mrs.
Mary Saunders Patterson, with whom
she studied for nearly year.
Then, under auspices of the Phil
adelphia Choral Society, the young
singer gave a solo concert which OBJ
tained for her two years of ardent
study with Miss Agnes Reifsneider of
Philadelphia. At the conclusion of this
course, wel-wishers raised fund for
her to study with Giuseppe Boghetti,
well-known voice teacher, who groom
ed her for competition which she
won. Her prize-winning appearance
with the New York Philharmonic
Orchestra led to an engagement by
the Philadelphia Orchestra. Then all
was quiet. The Anderson future was
becalmed. That was 1926. She spent
a year being coached by Frank La
forge.
In the next four years, young Mer-
ian crossed and recrossed the Atlantic,
sang at Carnegie Hall and won a
Julius Rosenwald scholarship. For
three more years she steamed back
and forth, America hesitant to ack-
knowledge her, the Continent unpre-
pared to accept her.
Came 1888. Miss Anderson, en-
barking on three-month's tour of
Europe, did not catch her breath until
August, 1895, when she capped SEN
sational two year circuit of Europe at
