We shook hands with what seemed to ' | be genuine fervor. ' "1 suppose you are wondering what' brings ine here." he said as we started toward the entrance to the loggia, liisi arm through mine. "1 do not forget j a promise. Mr. Smart. You may re member that I agreed to fetch a man 1 from Munchen to look over your fine old frescoes and to give yon an esti mate. Well, he is here, file very best i man iu Europe." "I am sure 1 am greatly indebted to j you. count,'* I said, "but after tbiuk ; ing it over I've"— j "Don't say fhat you have already engaged some one to do the work." he cried in horror. "My dear fellow, j don't tell me that! You are certain to make a dreadful mistake If you listen ' to any one but Sehwarfamuller. He in ' ! the last word in restorations. He ls"- I Checked liiiu. "1 have virtually de- ' cided to let the whole matter go over | until next spring. However. I shall be ' i happy to have Mr. Schwartznitiller's ' j opinion. We may be able to plan ! 1 ahead." A look of disappointment flitted ' ! across his lace. The suggestion of | hard old age crept into his features ' for a second and then disappeared. ' j "Delays are dangerous." he said. 1 My judgment is that those gorgeous ' paintings will disintegrate more dur- 1 Ing the coming winter than in all the years gone iy. They are at the critical stage. If ot preserved now—well. 1 ' cannot bear to think of the conse i quenceß, Ah, here Is Herr Schwartz- 1 ! mnller." Just inside the door, we came upon r a pompous , yet servile Gertnau who could not by any means hnve beeu mis taken for anything but the last word in restoration. For ten minutes I allowed them to expatiate on the perils of procrastl- " nation in the treatment of rare old F canvases and uiuments. and then. ' v- d HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel English Ginger Cakes We are quite accustomed to speak ing of "old-fashioned ginger bread," and this is right, for ginger is the moat ancient flavoring. For years and years cakes were baked without any special character, it being thought quite enough that they were sweet and of finer texture than the coarse bread of those earlv davs. However, spices were esteemed from the beginning of civilization when they were brewed into refreshing drinks and served with many foods. At last China's preserved ginger root was brought to Kngland by travelers who told of its wonderful medicinal prop erties. At first only royalty was able to secure it, but Queen' Elizabeth, who seems to have been a housewifely sort of a maiden after all, had it made into small cakes to be eaten when her house hold had dined on too rich foods. Whether the sweets were so tempt ing or living so rich we cannot tell, but the court ladies and lords kept up such a constant demand for the tarts that a special baker was appointed to make "Queen's Ginger Cakes." As the pleasant remedy was found to be as soothing to the digestions of everyday folks it was soon England's most popular cake. There is probably small resemblance in our manifold gin- K cr cakes to those of Mem Old Eng land, but even to-day there' is no cake that is better liked.
