her Latin-American speech, Elsie
Houston, the internationally known
Brazilian singer, is an exotic creature
whom you just do not naturally asso-
ciate with the household kitchen. She
seems, rather, to live perpetually in
drama, music, art, beauty and among
the people who create them. Actually,
however. she cooks like professional
and has sensational reputation among
her innumerable friends. She can, if

Frank Houston, is a member of the
same family as the Virginia-born Sam
Houston who has gone down in the
history books and the hearts OF Texans
as the liberator of the great Lone
Star State. Her mothers family emf
grated from Portugal to Brazil more
than 300 years ago.
The pioneer strain of Elsie's inheri-
tance makes happy combination with
the Old World-New World tradition.
She loves Brazil and adores the Unit
ed States. She speaks four foreign
languages-Spanish, German, French
