Not only does the French woman pug the
material for her dinner, but helps to cook It
when bought. In that marvellous place, a
French kitchen, where two or threB little
holes in a stove cook such delicate dishes, aud
perform such culinary feats as our great
roaring coal fires have no conception Of, sho
fits about like a fairy. creating magical
messes out Of raw material Of the most or
binary description. Yes, though "A Lady born
and bred, refined, elegant aud agreeable in
society, a belle in her way, yet she docs not
think it beneath her dignity TO Tighten the
household expenses by practical economy aud
activity.
The dinner Of a French family is choaT and
simple. There Is always a soup, the meat Of
the stewpan sometimes, If not strict in cx-
penditure; another plate Of meat generally,
two vegetables, dressed and eaten separately,
and sometimes, not always, n sweet dish; "
not that, a little fruit, such as may be the
cheapest and ripest in the season. But there
is very little in each thing, and II is rather In
arrangement than In material that they HP-
pear rich.
The French may be "a trihe epirurenn In
their tastes, but they are not gourinandS
They spend little in eating aud they eat infe-
rior things. though their cookery Is rather IA
science than a mere accident Of civilization.
At home the great aim Of the French is to
save, and any self sacrifice fiat leads TO this
result is cheerfully undertaken, more espe-
cially in eating than the mere luxury Of idle
ness
No French woman will spend IA cent to slve

On the high plateau Of the Cumberland
mountains, at Pomona, Cumberland county
Tenn dwells an artist OF rare skill, who years
ago lived in Nashville. In the forties his
brush was constantly busy with the portraits
Of the leading people Of that day. His ivory
miniatures were the perfection of the art.
His pictures Of Jackson and Clay were en-
graved and had an immense sale. In 1919, in
broken health, he went To the mountains and
established nurseries which became famous
for the finest apples Fruits from Dodges
orchards always won the premiums. With
health restored, he went to Brooklyn in 1861,
and thence to Chicago, where he followed his
loved profession for years, but a year ago the
love OF the mountain brought him back to its
breezy uplands, and now in his SD year John
W. Dodge still paints with his old time skill
