The growth of the town increased the
consumption to such an extent that pie
making became business by itself,
and now Chicago has n number of pie
factories which send out over thirty
five thousand pies every working day in
the year.
One of these concerns, the largest in
the United States, has capacity OF
fifteen thousand pies per day and dur
ing the summer months, when house
keepers do very little baking, is COM

John Broadway, and I recalled the old
saying: 'Once gypsy always

A funny story is told in gypsy litera-
ture Of boy whose name was Hofer.
He died, and they named him Wacker
when they talked of him. One day his
mother saw doll in window, and said
to her husband:
"Dovo odoi dicks like moro Wacker."
("That looks just like our Wacker").
Then they called him Wackerdoll,
but after awhile the mother died and
they went back to Wacker, SO as not to
be reminded Of her.
A boy whose name ''samed" his was
also called by another and less familiar
appellation.
Strange as it may seem, the gypsy
father is most pleased when daughter
is born to him, for she is sure to bring
him wealth. Isabella Broadway in

Of the gypsy queen Of the Stanley tribe,

fifteen hundred gypsies present on that

The Broadways tell me that the

Isabella Broadway can still troll a song

has given birth to authors who had

who loved to look upon wine when it

dell Holmes, mostgenial and witty of
American men Of letters, to write an
able discourse on the merits OF New
England pumpkin pie.
DIR. Holmes, who has lived more than
four score years and who has tasted
the national dishes of most Of the mon
arches and principalities Of the old
world, has arrived at the wise conclu-
sion that pie is the article of diet par
excellence. The old gentleman takes a
goodly slice for breakfast, another for
dinner and welcomes third at supper
time. He has kept this up for many a
year and has never suffered from indi-
gestion or nervous prostration.
Bismarck has had to give up the use
of beer; Gladstone has to think twice
before eating anything; Blaine worries

tus; but the beloved Dictator OF the

speciality! Think Of man eighty-one
years of age eating sauerkraut, or mac
aroni, or thick soup, or garlic patties,
or UNDERGONE roast beef, three times q
day! He couldn't do it. His outraged
stomach would resent the insult. But
he can enjoy pumpkin pie for breakfast,
mince pie for dinner, apple pie for sup
per as long as the breath Of life is left
within his frame. And please don't for
get to remember that this diet, aside
from being healthful, preserves good
nature and strengthens the brain
tissues. No wonder, therefore, that
the popularity Of Yankee pie is grow
ing from year to year not only within
the borders of the United States, but in
the countries of the old world as we'll.
New England is the home Of the pie;
and for many decades it was the only
part of the country where the genuine
article could be obtained. In the
course Of time, however, many Yankee
housewives found their way to the
booming west and among the other
good things they brought with them
were unrivaled recipes for pies of all
kinds. Western enterprise was quick

Apple pie is the staple article of the
