By MARY REINHOLZ Sometimes, she says, people expect her to look like a raven-haired dragon lady wearing a black cape and carrying a candle. Instead, disc jockey Alison Steele is this trim strawberry blonde with blue eyes and freckles who could pass for a fresh-scrubbed farm girl.

It's her voice that gives the illusion that she's some sort of temptress a velvet voice so luxuriously seductive that Alison could make a commercial for gym socks sound sensual. "This is the Night Bird, come fly with me," she half-croons into the microphone, and then takes off on a fantasy trip on the WNEW-FM airwaves. The witching hours are from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. every evening except Sunday, when she switches from 8 p.m.

tc midnight. "In the hours of the night, the mind becomes more fertile," she reminds an estimated 180,000 listeners, to whom she is swiftly becoming a spokeswoman for the romantic longings of the young. (Her audience is mainly in the 18 to 35 age group.) Alison's basic task, of course, is to play the music, but before she begins spinning cuts from, say, San tana and the Grateful Dead, the Night Bird sets a mystic mood. Has positive attitude Often, she'll begin with blank verse or rhymes of her own invention, or she'll recite Shakespearean sonnets, or come up with sage sayings from Mideastern visionaries like Kahil Gibran souls are like tender flowers at the mercy of the winds of And when she's soft-peddling her own philosophy, it's almost always Pollyanna poetic. "I abhor negativism," she told a visitor a half an hour before air time.

"I want to convey a positive attitude so that people will reach out to other people. "It's a bummer sitting around bemoaning how bad things are. That's not going to change the world. I mean, life is really great. You're alive, for openers.

Consider the alternative." The Night Bird has been winging it for six years now, ever since WNEW-FM decided to let females test their talents as disc jockeys. At the time she was working at the station, and had been in radio and TV for about 10 vears before that. She's also been an actress, a confirmed "poetry buff" and "always into music," she said. She was married once but is reluctant to discuss her personal life: "All that stuff is pretty mundane." The Steele female has plenty of determination "I've always been aggressive about getting what I wanted" and when the deejay opportunity beckoned she put her vivid imagination to work. Spectacular response "I began to meditate about the mystique of the night.

And I thought of the owl, as the nocturnal bird. So 1 wrote out my thoughts and began my first show with them." They went something like this: "The flutter of wings the sound of the night the shadow across the moon the night bird spreads her wings and soars above the earth into another level of perception where we exist only to feel." That message, she said, must have struck a nerve, because the radio station's switchboard lit up like a comet. It continues to light up whenever she's on the air. During the past six months she's been swamped with requests for reprints of poetry, with invitations to M.C. college rock concerts and to give interviews and campus lectures.

Many of her phone callers are high school boys asking for dates figure I'm 22 or something Just say I'm over But lately a lot of high school girls have been asking her for advice or simply telling her about their lives possibly because they see in her a successful woman who has remained totally female in an industry dominated by men. "I suppose you could say that I'm one of the boys," she said, referring to her all-male colleagues. "I pull my own weight, and I never ask men to lug my carton of records around. "And I don't turn up my nose when they use raunchy language. But I don't join in with that.

I haven't become like them. We have great rapport and although they kid me sometimes, they never treat me like a guy and have complete respect for my femininity." similar successful results in many cases. This is the same medication you can buy at any drug counter under the name Preparation Hs. Preparation also lubricates to protect the inflamed surface area and it doesn't sting or smart. In fact, it has very soothing qualities which make it especially helpful during the night when itching becomes more intense.

There's no other formula like Preparation H. In ointment or suppository form. The burning itch and pain caused by infection and inflammation in hemorrhoidal tissues can cause much suffering. But there is an exclusive formulation that in many cases gives prompt relief for hours from this itch and pain so that the sufferer is more comfortable again.

Turn out on floured board and roll out into rectangle (10x16 in.) Spread with two tablespoons softened butter and fold four corners to the center. Roll out again, spread with tablespoons remaining two butter and fold again. rap By ELLA ELVIN Flaky Cheese Sticks are irresistable bits of pastry that could lead the most dedicated dieter astray.

They are a nice, small touch that easily can steal the hole show. At a banquet they occasionally accompany a clear soup and serving them with fruit salad is an inspiration. That's where aged cheddar can pay the supreme complement to fresh fruit. But we think they shouldn't be as a cocktail snack.
