Dancer Learns Culinary Art
Under Extreme Handicaps
By PRUDENCE PENNY

THE WAR does amazing
things TO people-not only to
the soldiers on the battle front
but 10 the soldiers on the home
front. 1t takes people into phases
Of life they have never entered
before. An artist works next TO
a cook in war plant and a
piquant little dancer delves into
the mysteries and the wonders
of the kitchen.
Ruthe Day, ballet tap dancer,
currently appearing at Club
Royale, has joined these ranks
for the first time in her life. She
comes of a family of stage folk
and never mad time nor the in
clination to cook or keep house.
Every minute of her spare time
was given to the furthering OF
her career.
Four months ago she met and
married Carroll Tornroth,
radio chain representative who
was then in the army, stationed
in New York.

7S Dollars q Month

After marriage Ruthe and
Carroll decided they wanted TO
live like other young couples
even though he was in the army.
So she Cancelled all her engage
ments and for the past four
months they lived in a tiny
apartment in New York with SO
a month TO cover all living an
penseS.
The young bride knew nothing
about the culinary arts-a spa
tula was a kitchen tool she'd
never heard of-and a Bavarian
cream was something people talk
about-but surely never make!
Her husband true TO tradition,
spoke often and glowingly about
the good things his mother used
10 make. Undaunted, Ruthe
wrote 10 her mother-in-law and
asked her 10 send recipes for
some of CAROLS favorite dishes
plus an urgent request for all
the little cooking details which
would naturally be foreign TO
her.
