This la What Patient Husband. Does Not Say 'When
Dust of Housecleaning Is His Morning Greet
" ing These Premature Spring Days.
A cloud of dust greeted a resident of
West Philadelphia this morning as he
Invaded the dining room. He groped his
way to a chair, which wasn't there, and
Hat down at a place where the table used
to be, but wasn't.
On one of those Indescribable things
which women call "tabourottea" there
was a meek-looking cup of coffee of un
decided temperature and a rather tired
looking fried egg. The patient husband
took a sneaky look all around. Then it
dawned, upon him
Spring la here.
That spring Is not all sunshine was
impressed upon the mind of the husband
when a weird looking creature armed with
a dust brush and a mop thrust a. sooty
face through a window an4 demanded.

NON-INHALABLE SPAGHETTI
FOILS BOHEMIAN DINERS
New Little Italy Edible Defies All Attempts to Eat It in
the American Manner.
Non-Inhalable spaghetti Is the latest
blow at the Hohcmlan dinner tlends.
They had gotten Into tho pernicious
hablj of drawing tho Interminable skeins
of that cdlblo Into their mouths In lieu
of educating themselves In tho device of
knotting swift bundles of It about tho
prongs of a fork, ns they do In Calabria,
whero tho Carusos and the carthquaK.es
grow.
Giuseppe didn't like It. Ho will bo the
conccntrntcd personality hereinafter des
ignated to represent tho combined sen
sitiveness of nil Italian waiters. He
never cracked a smile when those lay
men from unhphenated Philadelphia sat
In his breezy and cosmopolitan llttlo saw
dusted restauiant at South Elghth-and-a-half
and Somcwhcreselse streets nnd or
dered Chlnntl, snugly caged in straw, and
drank It like water, and (O, Infidels!)
Insulted his spaghetti.
Thoso who learn (as they should) to
think properly In terms of spaghetti
never sense It In the singular numoer.
Tho word "spaghetto," meaning ono
strand of these palo golden locks. Is a
misnomer, a blunder, nnd a shame, sig
nifying nothing. Put tho Infidels, e.-.pe-ciallv
the giggling, girlish units of their
delegations to Little Italy, did this; they
would get one end of a spaghetto (or Is
it feminine, spaghetta?) In his, her or
Its mouth, nnd (It hardly seems decent
to repeat) er draw It slowly Into tho
mouth.
After five minutes or so It wns all In.
It was a reflection on the Italians pres
ent that their stnple article of food was
Incapable of refined treatment.
Uut a genius arose nmong tho heirs of
the Caesars to circumvent and confound
tho pious and restore tho self-respect of
Giuseppe. Although the number of types
of spaghetti was already beyond human
computation, he 'nvented a new ono. Ho
Invented non-lnhalable spaghetti. It looks
carried up from the cellar before you go
to the office."
Spring is here. , ,
The fact was driven home as he zig
zagged up stairs with the rockers and
found the cat wrestling wth his let gold
flsh, who were trying to swim in water
less aquarium. , .,
Housecleanltls Is a sure Blgn. Further
proof that spring is again here is given
by the fact grasshoppers were discovered
today In OH City by J. G. Roemer.
Wnether the oil is the cause of their
pre-seaon friskiness to matter of con
jecture But Roemer says that they were
of the regular August summer vacation
kind and bopped around the same as If
it was Sunday afternoon near the old.

It has a tiny holo running right straight
thiough it, that Is to say, longitudinally,
or, so to tpeak, beginning at ono end nnd
ending at tho other.
Oi to bo more plain. If possible, such a
holo ns when tho diner should start to In
hale tho -paghottI slowly toward his dla
phiagm, breaking all rules of etiquette,
Cahibrlnn and cJthcrwIse, buch a hole as
would prevent tho principle of suction, or
more correctly, the pilnclplo of varying
air pressures, and result In (new para
graph) Why, It would result in tho spaghottl
stopping short nfter It had traveled about
an Inch toward the endangered wlndplpo
of tho Ubellant, or imbiber, hereafter to
be known ns tho party of the first part.
Ily that tlmo suction would havo drawn
all the HqueouB tomato and aerated cheeso
out of the lengthy perforation and, by
permitting tho free passage of the air
through the spaghetto, prevent tho com
pletion of Its absolutely Involuntary Jour
ney. Moral: Place tho fork at right ang'es
to the piano of tho dish. Twirl gently
toward the right until 1G Inches of spa
ghetti nre enmeshed. Jerk down nnd
slightly to the left until the lowest spa
ghetti on tho right-hand lower side 'fi
plcntcd neatly around the near prong
of tho fork, holding all In place; then In
sert In the mouth.
Noto When using a knlfe-oh, well, In
that case don't order spaghetti; order
peaB and then call for mashed potatoes
to keep them from sliding off.
