The very instant Mr. Mason asked me if I was afraid to lunch alone with him at the Rochambeau, I knew I would have to stay. What I didn't know was whether It was to myself or to him I wanted to prove that I was enough of a woman of the world to remain even without the promised "chaperonage" of his cousin Evelyn. It would have seemed 111-bred and childish to dis cuss the situation, or even to call it a situation. "I'm not going to bother you with the menu card, Fair-tenant-to-be. I've lunched at this place for Ave years, and I know its specialties. Say we start with hors d'ouvre and then have a casserole chicken with fresh vegetables, hearts of lettuce with Russian dressing, pastry ancf a demitasse. Does that sound tempt ing? Do you think it's the sort of lunch with which a landlord may inveigle a tenant?" asked Mr. Ma son. "It sounds like a wonderful lunch* But I didn't think landlords strug gled to get tenants nowadays. I had an idea homeless folks fairly bribed landlords to let them come and oc cupy the premises," I replied, after /the little interval it took Mr. Mason / to convey his order to the waiter. / His manner to servants was crisp / and impersonal. Even in dealing J with a cross-eyed old newspaper f woman or a little darkey elevator boy, Jim's voice and air were warm and bantering. That was part of his charm. I wondered where my boy was lunching in Washington, and with whom. I brought myself back with a start. There was all of a long, lonely aft ernoon and e%-ening ahead; they would be dedicated to missing J.lm. A tonic bit of enjoyment and for getting would equip me to face them more courageously. So I gave my self completely to the sway of that hour, with its delicious food, golden atmosphere and stimulating com panionship. Mr. Mason talked of "shoes and ships and sealing-wax" delightfully and with a flattering air of being delighted. Over the coffee cups Mr. Mason made a sugges tion: "Now that you're right in the neighborhood, wouldn't it be wise to look at the apartment again? I'd really like you to have the little place if it appeals to you. And if I don't have to risk its standing empty all summer, I can afford to offer very tempting terms." "That's a very wise suggestion," I replied. But—was it?

She put up her lorgnette and studiod us with se rene rudeness. Then she spoke rather superciliously: "I've been looking at the apart ment, Tommy. I decided I'll have it from the first of October. A hun dred you said—wasn't it?" Mr. Mason smiled with unruffled amiability. "Oh, Mrs. Varden, are you really serious about an apartment? I've another that would suit you much better, if you're coming to town this winter." "But I want this. Don't show it to another tenant." ordered the woman, turning crimson under her rouge. "Sorry, dear lady. This one is taken from the first of July. My old friend Jimmy Harrison has the re fusal of it." "Oh, the chap your cousin Evelyn threw over when he went tumbling j into the European war a few years ago. What is he going to do with an establishment?" asked the woman in a tone which made me feel as if I had been struck by the flat of her pudgy white hand. "Mrs. Harrison is going with me now to look at the apartment," re turned Mr. Mason, in a cold tone,' which Mrs. Varden evidently took as an introduction. "Oh —Mrs. Harrison! And so you're the girl who snatched up Evvy's beau. I heard something about an up-to-date courtship and a modern wile. Quite modern, I should say, my dear." Her glance was poisonous— though she hid it beneath a smile. It asked how the husband I had "snatched up" was amusing himself —it cast ugly aspersions on love and marriage and all fine feelings. It sneered at truth and loyalty—that glance! I marvel now at my self-control. It wasn't instinctive respect for gray hair that kept me silent, nor even my frightful resentment of the way she misinterpreted Mr. Mason's atti tude toward me—it was the sheer 1 amazement of discovering that my . Jim had ever been in love with Eve lyn. He almost disliked her now —that I knew. I was sorry for her—not afraid of Iter. I wondered if it was hurt pride, but—l knew that little baby face had never jilted my boy!—it must be that Jim had simply outgrown Evelyn. After ten days of marriage my husband was actually eager to go back to the war—was he indeed a man who could grow tired elf love after he possessed it? With renew ed force it came over me that Jim's life up to a month ago was a closed book to me.

By the time these thoughts had flashed across my mind, Tom Mason had bowed her away, had swept me up the stairs, into his fourteenth century Italian livingroom and back among the tapestried cushions of a wonderful deep couch, much too comfortable to be anything but twentieth-century American. "Mrs. Jimmy, won't you do me a favor?" he was saying. "That dreadful old Varden woman means to have this apartment whether or no I want her to. To save me from her, won't you take it on —at sixty a month? You and Jim will be much more comfortable here than at the Walgrave—and I will be res cued from a tenant whose presence among my lovely things would tar nish them forever! "Won't you take it? I want my furniture to be among friends," beg ged Mr. Mason with tactful kindness that made my feelings for him change from indifference to grateful liking. "You're very fond of Jim?" I iasked impulsively. • I "Jim's a fine chap—old friend — children-together-stuff, you know. He and Evelyn had a boy and girl, moon-shine love affair .too. But wo drifted apart. It's Mrs. Jim who's bringing us in touch again. She's making the old friendship seem worth renewing. Won't she cement it by saving my little place from that old—vampire?" Tom Mason laid his hand on mine for a moment—like a real pal it seemed to me. Then he spoke—and there was a deep note In his lazy voice: "We are friends aren't we, Donna Anna?"

There is no need of hesitation, however, in undertaking to do it. After cleaning, divide the cauli flower into small pieces. Blanch six minutes and drain. Spread on trays and dry. Recent experiments show that cauliflower will stand well an initial drying temperature of 120 de grees F., which should be gradually raised to 130 degrees F. and main tained until the drying is complete. Write to the National War Garden Commission, Washington, for a free drying booklet, sending a 2-cent stamp for postage. Although turning dark while dry ing, cauliflower will regain part of Its original whiteness in soaking and cooking. Dried cauliflower is espe cially good for soups and omelets. Drying Parsnips Parsnips are vegetables worth drying. Clean thoroughly, scrape off skin, and cut into % -inch slices. Blanch two minutes and drain well. Spread evenly on drying tray and start the*drying at 120 degrees F. and raise gradually to 145 degrees F. The temperature should not ex ceed this at any time. The parsnips are sufficiently dry when the pieces break if one tries to bend them and when they show no moisture upon being pressed between the fingers. The Commission will be glad to an swer any questions written on one side of the paper and sent in a self addressod, stamped envelope. ®Pit " \\ UP 7 "Qrr/io os nbbo SI 11/ / IIVMIHB) 3i IF J / /OUR ton i*e&ooofon sno J/l J / " -owiea "torsos VOOMO BICT* CAN £5 USE O A* oatens - an pried roa wchtsw use tO—WIUMIrX ~ They insist on doing their bit to ward winter food preparedness.

D. a (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure "Newspaper Syndicate) (Continued.) "Well, Davis," he said, "I hope I haven't spoiled your Sunday after noon, but, I assure you, it was not for myself I sent for you, but for my wife. She is suffering greatly; I'm in a great huny; my autos are waiting for me below, but I wanted to remain until you arrived to give you a little history of the case." He then described to me the Kal serin's ailment, and explained that he had insisted upon my coming for a consultation with the Kaiserin's physician. 'My wife has been suffering for several days," he concluded, "and we are going to have a state ball on Tuesday and I want you to get her in order so that she can attend it, as it io one of the most important social functions of the season. Fol low me and I will take you to my wife and introduce you." We accordingly entered a very large sitting room. It was finished in cream color, and was furnished, rather too fully, I thought, with a profusion of heavy furniture. There were many French mirrors around the room, but by far the most conspicuous feature -was the pictures and photographs. In every conceivable place I noticed pictures of the various members of the. royal family—the Kaiser, the children and the grandchildren, not to say anything of their cousins and uncles and aunts, being shown in a score of different po6es and at all ages, j Even the scrap basket I observed had pictures of the royal family worked into it, and more pictures peered up a' me from under the glass top which covered a table. The Empress, in a negligee of her favorite royal purple, er.tertd and shook hands with me cordiallv. She looked very worn, a> d it was plain that she had been suffering consider able pain and los 3 of sleep. She had a handsome flgui e and was stately in her carriagb, but he crowning glory was a profusion of white heir. She was then fifty-four year 3 old. but her hair had turned white many years before. It was said, indeed, that the change had been brought about rather suddenly as a result of cer tain drugs she had taken in an effort to avert a tendency to avoir dupois which had developed. I know that the Kaiser loathed fat women. On more than one oc casion he had said to me as he bade me farewell: "Well, Davis, you have kept me here talking so long you have almost spoiled my morn ing walk, but I'll take a walk through the Tiergarten just the same," and then ho would add dis gustedly, "where I presume I will have to greet all the fat Jewesses in the park!"

Draw from one to two and so on to the end. \ Kaiserin's physician joined us, and there were several maids —very su perior young women—iri attendance upon their royal mistress. After I had examined the Empress and had given my advice, the physi cian explained to me in a low voice that it was necessary to be cautious and not do much, its he was afraid of her physical condition. "Anything you do for her Maj esty," he explained, "would require giving an anaesthetic. She is not in condition to stand pain without. The only anaesthetic her Majesty will take is chloroform. I've ad ministered it to her eleven times and I know just what it means. I'm afraid of her heart at this time. In deed, just as soon as I can get her into condition I want her to go to Nauheim for the cure." His alarming words caused quite a flurry among the maids and they crowded around the Empress and begged her to have nothing done that day, but to endure her suffer ing a little longer in the hope that relief would como without the neces sity of an operation at that time. Their pleadings prevayed upon the patient to postpone the treatment. This made the Kaiser very angry, and he walked up and down the room impatiently. "Here," he said, 'Tve got Dr. Davis to come on a Sunday after noon, and you want to be in shape for the ball on Tuesday, and now you won't have anything done! That's the way with the women!" Then he turned to me and said: "Well. Davis, I'm sorry to have spoiled your day." And he dashed out of the room, apparently much provoked. I felt I had almost wit nessed a family quarrel, but the in cident indicated to me that what ever hopes the Kaiser might enter tain of one day dominating the world, he had not yet acquired un disputed dominion in his own house hold! I did not see the Kaiserin again for nearly a year, when she came to my office with a lady-in-waiting. She arrived in her own car. Its approach was heralded by the im perial "Tadi-Tada" without the con cluding "TaTa," which latter was reserved exclusively for the Kaiser, and not even the Kaiserin was al lowed to use. The Kaiser's "Tadi- Tada-Ta-Ta" was the subject of much sarcasm among the proletariat, who satirically put it to the words, "Cel erie-Salat-TaTa," an illusion to the Ivurytss of the royal table which contrasted most unfavorably with the simple meals to which they were accustomed; while the Socialists showed their sentiments very plainly by improvising the wordd: "Von Un sern Geld-TaTa," referring to the royal immunity from taxation, which was one of their bitterest pills. It was not long after I had known the Kaiserin before she made clear to me that she possessed a most dic tatorial manner, which was quite in contrast with that of the Kaiser, at least when he was in my office. She objected strenuously to re moving her hat—and she usually wore a large one with a veil —but finally yielded when I explained that I could not accomplish my wotk sat isfactorily unless she did so. When I placed cotton-roils in her mouth, she insisted that as she did not like the sensation' of the cotton against her lips or tongue, I would have to encase the cotton in rubber. I told her politely but firmly that my work would be done in my own way, and she finally acquiesced, add ing: "Well, if you make such a point of it, doctor. I suppose I shall have to let you have your way." Evidently this incident was re peated in the royal family, for some few weeks later the Kaiserin's youngest son. Prince Joachim, called to see me professionally, and smil ingly remarked: "I hear you don't think very much of the cotton rolls with rubber around them which the Empress invented and which we named "The Imperial Cotton Roil," to which I promptlv agreed. There were a number of other incidents from time to time which revealed to me that whatever I said or did while treating th various members of the royal family was talked of among them, very often the most trivial re marks made to one member of the family being referred to by another later on. From that time on the Kaiserin came to me more or less regularly. Hr lackey usually followed her into the house carrying an artistic lunchbox or bag containing sand wiches and bouillon, of which the Empress partook in my office. The Princess Victoria Doulse, the Kai ser's only daughter. T may mention, usually came slmtlailv provided. No German ever lets nnvthing Inter fere with his second breakfast. The Empress never spoke on po litical subjects. She was not par ticularly brilliant and evidenced some reluctance to air her views on international affairs, as though she were not quite sure of herself. Cer tainly, she was not nearly as talka tive as the Kaisen- When she did unburden herself, it was usually in connection with domestic subjects. It was said in Germany her only interest in life was represented by the "three K's," Kinder, Kirche and Kuche —children, church and kitch en—and there is no question about it that she seldom spoke on other subjects when talking with me. The Kaiserin came to me after the war with America started, but apparently she had felt some hesita tion about doing so, because the Kaiser told me shortly before her visit that she intended coming, but pointed out that she had decided to do so only upon his recommenda tion. In June, 1917, I received a letter from the Kaiserin's physician, en closing one which he said had been written by the Kaiserin, but which was both unsigned and unaddressed. It requested me to visit the royal palace at Homburg v. d. Hohe, which, in connection with the ad- Joining town of Kreuznach, was then the location of the grcjjit army head quarters. I got in touch by long distance telephone with one of the Kaiserin's ladles-in-waiting at Homburg and I told her I could leave the following Friday for that town, but later a telegram came advißing me to post pone my trip to the following week. I arrived at Frankfort-on-the- Main, where it was necessary for me to stop off about midnight to catch an early train for Homburg. At tho hotel where I sought to engage a room for the night, the clerk asked me for my pass, and when he saw that I was an American refused to assign me a room until I had regis tered at the local station, which was some six blocks away. The streets were darkened as a precaution against air raids, and I found the police station with difficulty. When I finally came to it it was closed. (To Be Continued.) Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX A CINDERELLA LETTER DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 17 and lost my mother a few months ago. I am keeping house for the rest of the family and am not at all satisfied, because, when I try to correct my younger sister, who is very wild, they stick up for her. Now, Miss Fairfax, I am fond of home and family, but I am treated like a mere servant and receive nothing for my work. I am going about with a young man a few years my senior, and he knows of all this and wishes to marry me. He has introduced mo to his family. Now what is your ad vice? MISS UNHAPPY. So many girls write me this type of letter that I am honestly puzzled. Is the little housekeeper unduly sen sitive as the result of overwrought nerves, work and the strain of the hot weather, and are things really as bad as they seem to her?. It is incredible in these days of labor famine to think of such work being unappreciated by one's family. In the present Instance, I wonder if It would not be better for some older member of the family to admonish the "Wild" younger sister. She might be Inclined to take It with better grace. And 17 seems "terribly" young to marry to escape from uncongenial surroundings. Why not talk the mat ter over with some tried older friend, or your priest, or minister; some one acquainted with you, personally, ought to have a better grasp of the situation. Sometimes things that seem so bit ter to youth are nothing more than the daily grind of life. Married or single, these things pursue one.
