Asparagus with
Luscious Sauce
Meals in a "jiffy" should be a rule
I during nice spring weather when we
begrudge time spent in the kitchen
Instead of out-of-doors. A variety of
hurry-up meals will be enjoyed by
every member of the family.
While asparagus is at Its peak on
the market try Asparagus with
Cheese Ac Mushroom Sauce, a meal-In-one-dlsh,
quickly and easily pre
pared and inexpensive. It's served on
buttered toast so all you will need
to complete the meal Is a salad, bev
erage and dessert.
Select tender green asparagus of
medium thickness. Spindling stalks
are usually tough and thick ones
are usually woody. Trim stalks to
uniform length and tie in small
bunches for Individual servings. Ty
lng the asparagus in bunches pre
vents breaking during cooking and
makes serving a simple matter.
The creamy cheese sauce with
mushrooms is perfectly delicious and
may be served with many other
kinds of vegetables. The mushrooms
may be omitted from the sauce if
preferred and sliced stuffed olives
may be substituted.

Embodying many of the features

Including an extra compartment for

homes, apartments and camps.
"I'm a missionary, really, and at Christian college I'll get
a chance to tell something to those boys and girls who are
about to set out for Hollywood. "I'll tell them to stay home
until they have good general educations. They should go to
college if they can. But above all they have to learn how to
work. They should give themselves1
time to grow up.
"It's very bad. Thousands of
youngsters of high-school age are
swarming into Hollywood. We have
no use for them. They completely
under-estlmata what they are fac
ing. "My work has been In large part
keeping actors and actresses up
with the needs of the market. Tech
nical things about the camera and
lights change from year to year
and the actors must adjust them-,
selves.
"Then there are many who come
from the stage or from Europe.
I revamp them for tho screen.
There was Nelson Eddy, for In
stance my, but he's a nice man
he's been In grand opera.
"Sometimes they sing out of the
side of their mouths It shows up
on the screen. Sometimes their
breathing's old-fashioned the chest
goes up and down. Some have a
habit of wig-wagging an eyebrow.
I fix them up. The studios call me
the clinic.'
"I love Hollywood but It Is dis
couraging to see so many people
out of work. There are some 40,
000 actors there and only 400 hold
any sort of long-term contracts.
Many can't get near the people who
hire, why I've had a boy right here
this morning, one of my former
students. Nobody will even see
him. ' I'm convinced he's the next
Clark Gable If he gets the chance.
Josephine Dillon, drama coach
who 16 years ago married a
stage-struck employe of the
telephone company named Clark
Gable and made him into an ac
tor, hates riding on her ex
husband's coat-tails.
In Hollywood, where she has
coached a long line of stars be
fore and since Clark Gable, she
is known by her maiden name.
Elsewhere she's apt to be call
ed Mrs. Gable and that doesn't
set so well.
There's nothing dramatic or
romantic about Josephine Dil
lon's appearance, no attempt to
look younger. She dresses sim
ply, speaks in a gentle, cultured
voice. Modest about herself, she
has only kind words for her for
mer husband. He - has worked
hard and deserves his success,
she says.
Tills winter Miss Dillon is
taking over a new Job teaching
dramatics to the girls at Chris
tian College, Columbia, Mo. Hie
course will not be geared to
wards producing professional
actresses. She hopes to steer
those who want careers into
dearth of college trained drama
teaching. There Is really a
tics teachers, she believes.
Look at Your Windows
To be sure of fresh, crisp, lasting daintiness at windows
wash the curtains often. They should be washed when they
need washing not by the calendar. Yet in some homes they
hang dejectedly month after month. When they are finally
taken down, the housewife is likely to be embarrassed. Who
would have thought they could hold
so much dlrtl
Ordinarily, the soil In curtains dif
fers from that In apparel and most
other household furnishings. It is
not ground in, as In collars and
cuffs, nor does it contain perspira
tion. But quantities of soot and dust,
and sometimes rust from screens,
may be present. Very often they con
tain acids which materially affect
the color and strength of the fabrics.
Soiled curtains not only will make
the house look shabby, they also will
soon wear out from the dirt and the
hart rubbing necessary to remove it.
If there's any doubt, hold several
folds of the fabric together and
Judge for yourself how soiled your
curtains are.

plain white cotton, dotted swtss, or
linen curtains, use hot water. For
silk or rayon curtains, cotton laces,
nets, and fine sheers, and colored
curtains In any fabric, keep wash

Work up a good two-Inch suds
before you drop the curtains Into
your washer. If they are extra-soiled
put them through a second sudsy
