no matter where they are living and they live
plenty of places. During the winter months
they consider Hollywood home; during the
summer they live on their cruiser and Cherry
Cove, Catalina Island, is home base. There are
visits - and frequent - to the Thorpe walnut
ranches scattered from Ventura County north
into Lake On one ranch between Lower Lake
and Kelseyville is modern guest house which
they use as headquarters. The pantry at the
ranch house is kept stocked with staples; the
fresh stuffs the Thorpes bring along when they
come and cooking goes on as usual.
Onions for Christmas
MAXINE THORPE explained, I'm terribly
extravagant cook. use only the best of every
thing but l never waste a nickels worth
At second breakfast one late summer morn
ing she told me some of her ways of using the
walnut. Having baked potatoes for dinner?
Split across one side with a sharp pointed knife,
fork-stir the potato to light fluff. add big
lump of butter and stir it again. Sprinkle over
ground walnuts and into the oven till piping hot.
Always creamed onions on Maxine's Christ
mas menu. The onions are cooked not quite
done, drained and one tablespoon of butter
added then placed in casserole and over this
mushroom sauce. The sauce requires one cup
condensed mushroom soup plus n cup heavy
cream and folded into this u cup English wal
nut meats; grated cheese is sprinkled on and
again to the oven until the cheese melts.

Christmas stocking. She cooked first for her
dolls; she has cooked ever since. Down the
years she has collected over 25,OOO recipes, all'

The Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge

String Quartet in a program last
night. The aristocracy of the
players art is of long standing
and a result of an indomitable de-
votion to chamber music which
outlived the names of organiza-

belonged.

therefore no small wonder that
the ensemble of this group repre-
sents tonally and temperament
tally perfect blending of mature
experience.
Their broad outlook on art
found expression in the perform

paintings full of fancy and emo
ton. The group brought to view
Bloch's music detached from it's
racial element, usually unduly
stressed by performers of the
composers race. Freed from the
personal, his music suddenly ac-
quired an international aspect
