now THEY DINED.

The old English had three meals
day, of which the chief meal was taken
when the work of the day was finished.
The first meal was at 9, dinner was
about 3 O'clock, and supper was taken
Just before bedtime. The Normans
dined at the old English breakfast
time, or little later, and supped at
Up. IN. In Tudor times the higher
classes dined at II and supped at 5,
but the merchants seldom took their
meals before IL and 6 o'clock.
The chief meals, dinner and supper,
were taken in the hall both by the old
English and Normans, for the parlor
did not come into use until the reign
of Elizabeth. Breakfast did not be-
come regular meal until quite lately,
and DIR. Murry, in the Oxford Dictio-
nary, gave 1863 as the date of the
earliest quotation in which the word
occurred. The meal did not become
recognized until late in the seventeenth
century, for Pepys habitually took
his draft of half a pint of Rhenish
wine or dram of strong waters in
place of a morning meal. Dinner was
always the great meal of the day, and
from the accession of Henry " % the
death of Queen Elizabeth the dinners
were as sumptuous and eXtravagant
as any of those now served.
Carving was then fine art Each
guest brought his own knife and spoon
for the small fork was not introduced
into England until Thomas Coryate,
of Odcombe, published his ''Crudities"
in 1911. Pepys took his spoon and
fork with him to the lord mayors feast |
in 1868 The absence of forks led to
much stress being laid upon the act of
washing the hands both before and |
after meals and to the rule that the |
left hand alone should be dipped into
the common dish, the right hand being
occupied with the knife.
The perfect dinner at the best time
of English cookery consisted of three
courses, each complete in itself, and
terminated by subtlety or device,
the whole being rounded off with
ypocras, after which the guests re
tired into another room, where pastry,

THE VOICE. OF THE CROW.

1t is the voice of the crow! 1t is
heard at intervals all winter-for the
crow is loyal to his home-tor the
crow is loyal to his home-whenever
there is a spirit Of Thaw(one of our
Northern gods) abroad; but it is really
a harbinger of spring, when the steams
are released, and the clouds are loose
and high-sailing, and the wooing south
wind makes all the trees uneasy to take
on color and to bust their buds into
bloom. On any day when the sun,
climbing northward, attacks the frost,
and the snow and ice slide with
thunder-rumble off the steep New En-
gland farmhouse roofs, the crow
is abroad calling us to new life. 1t
is the harshest voice in the whole Or
chestra of birds, yet it is homelike
and sincere and has in it note
of wild freedom, of Indefinite promise.
The crow has never yielded to the
modern demand for culture, and his
'caw" is almost the only thing in civ
ilized life that can take us back to the
untamed and primeval nature He be-
longs to the forests, to the free buc-
caneering life call secretly long for.
When we walk in the woods in the
spring, it is the call of the crow that
interprets for us our wild desires. For
myself, | confess that he stirs in me
more memories and sets me in more
sympathetic thrill with Nature than
any other of her voices. He is not for
me the raven of poetry-the dark
winged symbol of maiden's hair
nor the ancestral and domestic rook,
but the plain New England crow. Per.
haps he is called thief, because he
digs where he has not planned, like
stock-operator, and he is an outlaw
with price on his head; but as hear
his voice on day when there is
smell of new earth and wide awaken
ing over the liberated land, l forgive
him all the defects of his qualities.
When l consider his ways, his military
like disciplin, his shrewdness,, his con-
tempt of the scare-crows of this world,
his refusal to he tamel in oLr decadent
civilization, am grateful for his ex-
ample.
There are two charges against the
crow: he is despised because he is poor,
and he is hated because he is not edible.
But many men are as poor as they are
inedible. Ifthe crow were not both
we should eXterminate him. His re-
fusal to he civilized in these respects
is his protection. He sets us an ex-
ample of poverty borne with self-res-
pect, and he shows his wisdom in
making his diet so miscellaneous that
no one desires to eat him. Even in
the matter of diet he is better than the
decayed fish-eaters of the artic regions
and have no doubt he prefers good
clean corn, when he can get it, and he
often risks his life to pull it out of the
corn-hills. In fact, the crow has char
acter, and we cannot tell what he
might not become if he were were we'll
fed and decently treated. We may
criticise his voice-though l hope it's
note of wild freedom will never be
changed-but | have heard some Or
chestras which would be improved by
the introduction of ',caw." | wish |
could sing the crow! No poet has ever
done it, nor even Walt Whitman, who
might have had surer hold on i'm
mortality by singing the crow than by
singing himself.

Mr.. EDITOR:-After two davs of
sightseeing in Paris. during which
time | renewed most pleasant ac-
quaintance with my journalistic broth
er, Mr.. Paul Oeker, number of the
delegates to the 2nd International Con-
gress of the Press met at the Care d
Orleans on the llth, and ut 1922 start
ed for Bordeaux.
We reached here at few minutes
past I the following morning. The
night was occupied partly in pleasant
conversation and partly in snatches of
more or less fitful slumber. In the
darkness we were dimly conscious of
passing over historic ground. Orleans,
with its spirit of Jeanne d Arc, and
Poitiers, with its memories of the ia
nous fight of 1856. With Mr.. Oeker
and myself was Mr.. S. S. Champion,
editor of the Northampton Daily Re-
porter, who took great pride in being
able to boast that Northamptonshire
had given the United States the fathers
of General George Washington, Benz.
Franklin and President Garfield.
Bordeaux is crowded with the dele

visitors who have come from all parts
of the world to view the grand eXposi-
ton which is now in the zenith of its
magnficence.
After several Intellectual attempts,
we succeeded in securing rooms in the

The official welcome of the Press
Congress took place in the great hall
of the exhibition building NJ. Gounil-
hou was in the chair, supported by the
Prefcct of the Girunda. the Marie of
Bordeaux and the president Of the
Philomatiqua Society under which the

of this international movement on the
part of newspaper men will be shown

while the United States was represent
ed by Miss Grace Carew Sheldon, of
the "Scribblers' Club" Buffalo: Mr..
Oeller, of California, who for ten years
has acted as London and Paris CORES
pondent for some of our great Ameri-
can newspapers, and by myself, as a
representative of the Journalists
Club" Of Baltimore. Among the
French delegates were two Senators,
the editor of La Temps and the editor
of Ire Petit Partsiien.
There were several lady journalists
among the English, while Paris was
represented by Madame Ratazzi-Rute,
Il lady who played an important part
in the social and political life of the
3rd Empire. Born in Baltim ore, a
Bonaparte-Wyse, she was Il cousin of
Napoleon III. She first married Count
Ratazzi, who for some years was Ital-
ian ambassador at the Tuilerics and
afterwards NJ. Rute Madlm, vas
much interested in the progress of Bal
timore, and gave me most cordial in
vitation to attend a luncheon at which
she promised | should meet the nobility
of southern France.
After the official welcoming NJ.
Gounilhou gave the Introductory ad-
dress. in which he reviewed the pro-
ceedings of the first Congress held in
Antwerp last year and paid glowing
tribute to the efforts of NJ. Goemare
de kcyser, of Antwerp, the founder OF
the organization. We then adjourned
to the hotel d Athenec, placed at the
disposal of the Congress by the NUM-
cipality. There the countries were ar
ranged into groups, for the greater
dispatch of business, each delegate
having the right to advance such propo-
sitions as he saw fit during the time
which was allotted to his country. In
the evening upwards of $50 delegates
were entertained at grand banquet
by the Phlomatique Society in the
grand hall of the COmedie Cafe The
centre of the ceiling in this banquet
hall bears masterpiece of the great
French painter Bouguereau-Tbe Gods
on Mt. Olympus. The dinner was
what | might call a Ia Delmonico with
the choicest viands of the Gironde.
The next day was devoted to an ex-
cursion to Arcachon-but of that in
my next.
