Table Service
The Book of Table Service has grown j
out of years of efficient, practical ,
teaching in the Boston School of Cook- !
ery, where it will be used as a text
book. It should also bfe helpful to the
large circle of homemakers who strive
constantly for beauty in service and a
well ordered household.
Not only is table service thoroughly
discussed but the care of the dining
room, telephone courtesy and maid serv
ice in general explained. The equip
ment of the butler's pantrv, the kitchen
and the care of nice utensils is essential
knowledge maids often lack, but they
need not any longer. The book is writ
ten by Lucy 0. Allen and dedicated to
Fannie M. Farmer; both these names
are well known to every enlightened
housekeeper, for they appear constantly
in women's publications.
As a usual thing women do not un
derstand chemical terms very well and
cannot always spare time to study in- j
tricate directions for attaining certain 1
results. Now there is a wonderful lot
of chemical knowledge in the chapter j
on stains in this book but it is so sugar I
coated you will not suspect it is there. '
First, the character of the stain is con- :
sidered, then a reagent is suggested and !
the method of removing the stain is |
explained. There are some twenty sep- I

the right solvent.
The illustrations are practical helps
and this is out of the ordinary, for in
most household books the pictures seem
designed just to fill another page or
make one want something quite out of
reach. The diagrams for buffet table,
for informal and company teas and the
plans in details for arranging dinner
covers are all good working models.

Miss Farmer's School of Cookery to

CONTINUED
A pile ot rubbish lay heaped in 0110
corner of the room, swept up and left
there by the big Schmidts to await the
spring housecleaniug sea sou, 1 pre
sume. Taruows.v at tirst eyed the heap
curiously, then rather intently. Sud
denly he strode across the room and
gingerly rooted among the odds and
ends with the toe of his highly polish
ed boot.
To my horror a dilapidated doll de
tached itself and rolled out upon the
floor, a well remembered treasure of
Rosemary's and so unique in ap|>ear
anee that I doubt if there was another
in the world like it. Indeed, I have a
distinct recollection of being told (hat
the child's father had painted in the
extraordinary features and had him
self decorated the original flaxen locks
with singular stripes of red and white
and blue, a sardonic tribute to the
home land of her mother.
I turiii'd away as he stooped and
picked up the soiled, discarded effigy.
When next I looked at him out of thu
corner of my eye he was holding the
doll at arm's length and staring at it
with a fixed gaze. I knew that he rec
ognized it. There could be no doubt
in his mind as to the identity of that
telltale object. My heart was thump
ing fiercely.
An instant later he rejoined me. but
not a word did he utter concerning the
strange discovery he had made. His
face was set and pallid, and his eyes
were misty. Involuntarily 1 looked to
see if he had the doll in his hand and
in that glance observed the bulging
surface of his coat pocket.
In silence we stood there awaiting
the reappearance of Saks, who had
gone into one of the adjoining rooms.
I confess that my hand trembled as I
lighted a fresh cigarette. He was star
ing moodily at the floor, his hands
rlasped behinjl his back. Something
smacking of real intelligence ordered
me to hold my tongue. I smoked plac
idly, yet waited for the outburst. It
did not come. It never came. He kept
his thoughts, his emotions, to himself,
and for that single disylay of restraint
on his part I shall ii*Ti'ays remember
him as a true descendant of the nobil
ity.
We tramped down the long tiights ol
stairs side by side, followed by the su
perfluous Mo. Saks, who did all of the
talking. He was, I think, discoursing
on the extraordinary ability of ancient
builders, but 1 am not absolutely cer
tain. 1 am confident Tarnowsy did not
hear a word the fellow said.
in my study we found I'oopendykt
and the two strangers.
"Have you made out the papers?'
demanded the count harshly. An uglj
gleam had come to his eyes, but he did
not direct it toward me. Indeed, h<
seemed to avoid looking at me at all.
"Yea, Count Tarnowsy," said the law
yer. "They are ready for the signa
tures."
"Perhaps Mr. Smart may have recon
sidered his offer to sell." said Tarnow
sy. "Let him see the contracts."
"I have not reconsidered," I said
quietly.
"You may sign here, Mr. Smart,'
said the notary as he gave me the doc
ument, a simple contract, I found.
"Jasper Titus will offer more than 1
can afford to pay," said tho count
"Please do not feel that I am taking
au unfair advantage of you. I am ab
Bolutely certain that he wants to btij
this place for—his granddaughter, ade
sceudant of barons."
The significance of this remark was
obvious, and it was tire nearest he evei
came to uttering the conviction that
had been formed in that illuminating
five minutes
—and I think lie did—he preferred not
to ask the questions that must have
been searing his curious brain. It was
a truly wonderful demonstration oi
self restraint. I would have given
much to be able to read his innermost
thoughts, to watch the perplexed move
ments of his mind.
"Sehloss Rothhoefen is yours. Count
Tarnowsy," said I. "It is for you to
say whether bis whim shall be grati
fied."
His lips twitched. I saw his band
touch the bulging coat pocket with a
swift, passing movement.
"Will you be good enough to sign,
Mr. Smart?" be said coldly. He glancec
at his watch. "My time is valuable.
When can you give possession?"
"The day the deed is transferred."
"That will be in less than three days.
I have satisfied myself that the title is
clear. There need be no delay."
We signed the contract after I bad
requested Poopendyke to read it aloud
to me. It called for the payment of
50,000 kronen, or a little over £2,000,
at the time of signing. His lawyer
handed me a package of'crisp bank
notes and asked me to count them. I
did so deliberately, the purchaser look
ing on with a sardonic smile.
"Correct." said I, laying the package
on the table. He bowed very deeply.
"Are you satisfied, Mr. Smart, that
there are no counterfeits among them?"
he inquired, with polite irony; then to
his lawyer: "Take tbe gentleman's re
ceipt for the amount in the presence of
witnesses. This is a business transac
tion, not a game of chance." It was
the insult perfect
As he prepared to tnke his depar
ture he assumed an Insinuating air ol
apology and remarked to uie:
."I owe you an apology. Mr. Smart.
There was a time when I did you an
injustice. 1 suspected you of keeping
your mistress bere. Pray forgive uiy
error."
Five days later I was snugly en
sconced In the ducnl stilt at the Bris
tol, overlooking the Kartnerrlngstrasse,
bereft of ruy baronial possessions, but
not at all sorry. My romance had been
short lived. It is one thing to write
novels about medieval castles and
quite anortier thing to try to write a
novel in one of them. I trust I may
never again be guilty of such arrant
stupidity ns to think that an American
born citizen can become a feudal baron
by virtue of his dollars and cents any
more than an American born girl can
hope to lie a real, dyed in the wool
countess or duchess because some one
needs the money more than she does.
It would be quite rs impossible, con
trariwise, to transform a noble duke
into a plain American citizen, so there
you are. even up.
My plans were made. After a fort
night in Vienna I expected to go west
to London for the autumn and then
back to New York. Strange to relate,
I was homesick. Never before had my
thoughts turned so restlessly, so wist
fully to the haunts of my lioyhood days.
I began to long for the lights of Broad
way (which I had scornfully despised
in other days) and the gay peacockery
of Fifth avenue at 4 In the afternoon.
It seemed to me that nowhere in all
the world was life so joyous and blithe
and worth while as in "old New York;"
nowhere were the theaters so attract
ive, nowhere such restaurants. Even,
in retrospect, the subway looked allur
ing, and as for the Fifth avenue stages,
they were too beautiful for words.
Ah. what a builder of unreal things a
spell of homesickness may become If
one gives it half 11 chancel
As for Schloss Rothhoefen, I had it
on excellent authority (no less a person
than Conrad Schmick himself) that
barely bad I shaken the dust of the
place from myself before the new mas
ter put Into execution a most extraor
dinary and incomprehensible plan of
reconstruction. In the first place, he
gave all the servants two weeks' notice
and then began to raze the castle from
the bottom upward instead of the other
way round, as a sensible person might
have been expected to do. He was
knocking out the walls In the cellars
and digging up the stone floors with
splendid disregard for that ominous
thing known as a cataclysm. The
grave question in the minds of the
servants was whether the usual am]
somewhat mandatory two weeks' no
tice wouldn't prove a trifle too long aft
er all. In fact, Hawkes, with an inspira
tion worthy of an office boy, munaged
to produce a sick grandmother and got
away from fhe place at the end of one
week, although having been paid in full
for two.
The day on which I left for Paris
still saw Tarnowsy at work, with his
masons, heroically battering down the
wails of the grim old stronghold, and
I chuckled to myself. It was quite
evident that he hadn't found the hid
ing place up to that time.
After several days in Paris I took
myself off to London. I was expecting
letters at Claridge's, where I always
take rooms—not because I think it is
the best hotel in London, liut because
I am to some extent a creature of hab
it. My mother took me to Claridge's
when I was n boy. and I saw a won
derful personage at the door, whom I,
was pleased to call the king. Ever!
since then I have been going t.o Ola-1
ridge's, and while my first king is dead'
there is one in his place, who bids, fair
to live long! albeit no one shouts en
couragement to him. He wears the
most gorgeous buttons I've ever seen,
and I doubt if King Solomon himself
could have been more regal, certainly
not Nebuchadnezzar. He works from
7 in the morning uutil 7 at night, and
he has an Imperial scorn for anytbU,:
smaller than half a sovereign.
There were many letters waiting
there for me. but not one from the
Countess Aline. I had encouraged the
hope that she might write to me. It
was the least she could do in return
for all that I had done for her not
withstanding my wretched behavior
on the last day of our association.
While I had undoubtedly offended in
the most flagrant manner, still my act
was not unpardonable. There wan
tribute, not outrage, in my behavior.
Poopendyke fidgeted a good deal
with the scanty results of my literary
labors, rattling the typed pages in a
most insinuating way. He oiled bis
machine with accusative frequency,
but I failed to respond. I was in no
mood for -writing. He said to me one
day:
"I don see why you keep a secre
tary, Mr. Smart. I don't begin to earn
my salt."
"Salt. Mr. Poopendyke." said I, "is
the cheapest thing I know of. Now, if
you had said pepper I might pause to
reflect. But I am absolutely, inexor
ably opposed to rating anything on a
salt basis. If you"—
"You know what I mean," he said
stiffly. "I am of no use to yon."
.."Ah," said I triumphantly, "but you
forget. Who Is It that draws the sal
ary checks for yourself and Brltton
and who keeps the accounts straight?
Who, I repent? Why. you, Mr. Poo
pendyke. You draw the checks. Isn't
that something?"
"If—lf I didn't know you so well I
wouldn't hesitate to call you a bloom
ing fool. Mr. Smart," said he, but he I
grinned as he said It.
"But he who hesitates is lost" said |
I. "This is your chance. Don't let It'
slip." He looked at me so steadily for
a moment that I was in some fear he
would not let It slip.
Before 1 had been iii London a week
it became perfectly clear to me that I
could not stretch my stay out to any
thing like a period of two months. In
deed. 1 began to think about booking
my passage home inside of two weeks.
1 was restless, dissatisfied, homesick.
On the ninth day I sent Poopendyke
to the booking office of the steamship
company with Instructions to secure'
passage for the next sailing of the
Mauretania, aud then lived in a state
of positive dread for fenr the con
founded American tourists might have
gobbled up all of the cabins. They are
always going home it seems to me,
and they are always trying to get on a
single uufortuuate ship, in all my
experience abroad I've never known a
time when Americans were not tum
bling over each other trying to get
back to New York in time to catch a
certain train for home, wherever that
may be. But Poopendyke managed It
somehow. He must have resorted to
bribery.

DKOWNED IX FOOT OF WATER
Philadelphia Victim of Accident ir Jer
sey; No Bone in Body Broken
Philadelphia, 'May 26.—Pinned face
downward in less than a foot of watjer
by an overturned auto moving van,
(>eorge Gibson, of this city, was drown
ed at Gerniania, near Egg Harbor, N.
J., last night.
Gibson, who lived at 2935 Rutledge
street, was riding in a storage van of
the Oxford Storage Company, Nine
teenth street and Columbia avenue,
when the steering gear snapped and the
auto skidded and overturned. He was !
thrown into a roadside ditch and would
have escaped virtually uninjured but
for the water. The van, while pinning
him down, did not crush him, phy
sicians said. Not a bone was broken.
The driver, John Ingram, 2433 Nich
olas street; John Harvey, a helper,
1932 Woodstock street, and Daniel
Redmond, another youth, who was
"taking a ride" with Gibson, escaped
unhurt.

explosion of a quantity of dynamite
there was little left of the 'building,
and nothing of 500 chickens and 500
