she was living in the country abroad, in

by the arrival of several guests near the

does in similar coses, that her larder
that day was especially bare; Bo she set
to work her wits as her only assistants
to overcome the difficulty. The locust
trees were in full bloom, so sho selected
the finest clusters, dipped them In batter
and fried them in boiling oil. The dish
proved not only an ornamental one, the
shape of the ordinary clusters being not
unlike that of grapes, but it proved pal

scanty dinner,

be a species of wild locust, and there are

have been used. As for the dandelions,
they aro converted by the skillful cook
into tho most palatablo dishes. They
aro also gathered with care and made

termed not a flower, but it certainly is

One evening 1 na out with a party of
young friends. It had lieen trying to
snow all afternoon and had cleared off
cold. A we imjhhoiI a ready made cloUi
lnir store wo noticed a couple of dttm-
iiiies out in front covered with snow.
One of those two particular dummies
was looking in the window, probably
watching the cashier inside, while the
other was faced toward tho street, pos
sibly to draw trade. On the breast of
his long, snow laden ulster no wore a
banner with tho strange dovlco, "Buy
mo, only $7.83." Just as wo were pass
ing wo saw a young clerk approaching
the door, whisk broom in hand, to kracb
tho snow from tho dummies. One of
my friends, who know the clerk, said,
Imitation or. a dummy, anu lie jumped
into a rigid position between tho papier
macho men. We ran across tho street
to watch things. Out camo tho clerk
and brushed tho snow from the nearest
figuro, turning it around on Its well
greased standard as he did so. Then ho
reached for our friend-, who stood stiff
and still. Ho carofully. brushed the
snow from tho back of his long ulster,
and then took hold of his arm to turn
him around. As ho felt flesh and blood
ho dropped his whisk, uttered a horrible
yell and disappeared behind a pile of
coats in tho storo. Uhlcago Herald.
Tloraco Oreelej'a Favorite Cut.
Hall, tho chief messenger at tho cus
tom house, cultivated his suave manner
when ho was tho head waiter at the
Astor hoiiBO. Nothing pleases him more
than to recall the days when he served
lloraco Oreeley, who dined for-years at
the Astor house. Dinner there at that
timo Was served on tho American plan
and was from 13 m. until a p. m. "1
Ufced to carve," Bald Hall, "and when 1
had reached the twenty-fourth or twenty-
fifth cut in a rib of roast beef I know that
it was timo for Mr. Oreeley to come in,
Ho liked the twenty-fourth or twenty
fifth cut because, I suppose, the meat in
that part of tho roast was done exactly
to suit his taste. When I had got to Sir.
Greeley's cut I used to run my knife
around tho rim of it and remove all the
oerdono edgoor fat, which ho did not
like. Wo heaped up the plate with pota
toes, green peas and beans Mr. Greeley
was a great hand for green peas and
sent it In to him." New York Tribune
llutteretl Toast for Potatoes.
JI. Taino, the eminent French liters
teur, was recently nt Oxford and he or
dered plain roast beef and potatoes for
dinner. The waiter brought M. Talne
roast beef and buttered toast. M. Talne
exclaims, "AVniter, somo potatoes." The
waiter brought moro buttered toast. M
Taino, in pronouncing "potatoes," laid
stress on the last syllable of potatoes
and gave the "s" more slbilation than
was necessary, so to the waiter's English
ear ho was asking with tolerable clear
ness for buttered toast. When fresh lots
of buttered toast began to appear, M,
Taino blandly demanded "some pota
toes," with tho result that his table was'
literally covered with plates of buttered
toast; however, a well known Oxford
professor happened to enter the room at
this juncture mid succeeded in clearing
up matters. London Cor. of New Or
