An Experience with stewed snai1s.


My curiosity had been aroused for some
time at sight of a silver vessel standing
on a tripod on the table, and kept hot by
a silver lamp burning under it. After
coffee had been served Nine. Rhea re
moved the lid of the vessel and helped me
to some of its steaming contents. | con-
fess to feeling of suspicion and repug
nance at first for the things lying on the
pretty miniature plate were cooked snails.
/ was not enough of an epicure to yearn
for such mess. Rhea went on eating
her own portion with evident relish, say
ing that she was intensely fond of the
creatures and always had them bought
for her whenever they could be obtained
though the cost sometimes made her
vince. With hochefort cheese, she de
clared, they are "seemply beesfuL
She was watching me out of the corner
Of her bright eyes, and [ suspect that she
