The two We're members of a party Wis
iting an Adirondack camp in the Sara
nae lake region, Every one was well
acquainted. and the days passed lnerrily
away until heavy rlinstorln drove
the ladies and the less enthusiastic fish
ermen indoors and compelled them to
seek other forms of amusement. The
rain continued to fall almost without
intermission for several days, and as q
means to relieve the monotony the gem
tleman already referred to proposed that
the various members of the party try
their hand at cooking the next meal.
Permission was obtained from the host
the members Of the party laughingly
agreed to the proposition. and the guide
whose duty it was to act as cook, was for
the time sent about other business. The
gentleman acted as chef, ard with Il
knowledge obtained from serving on the
house committee of prominent New
York club proceeded to assign various
work to his aids and appointed tho young
lady first vegetable cook for the express
purpose of making her peel onions, the
odor of which she loathed.
When the party adjourned to the kitch-
en- to begin preparations, II large supply of
strong odorcd red onions was brought to
the lady and she was requested to remove
the outer cuticle. The acting chef and the
others who had been let into the secret
made merry over the supp sed discomfi-
turc of the first vegetable cook, but the lat.
ter smiled sweetly and uttered no protest
Bring mo deep pan, she said to her
helper, and when this was produced she
filled it to the brim with water Then
she tucked up her sleeves to the elbow,
showing just the pretticst pair of arms
in the world, and removing her rings set
to work peeling the onions under water
with deftness that showed how famil-
lar she was with the work and depriv-
ing it Of all its oiTensiveness.
1t was revelation to the man. who
had looked either for a vigorous protest
or had expected to see the eyes of the
vegetable cook water from the effects of
the onion juice. The amateur dinner
was in every way a success, but none of
the cooks achieved Il greater triumph
than the one whose practical experience
showed to the others the common sense
