"One Of the plans that Mr.. Freshington
and have in mind for the coming weeks
said Nj Dobley 10 his wife. is the esta0-
mshment OF a 5 ,ay-at-Home Club"
What Will il be ike" asked Mrs. Dob
ley.
IT viii be devoted TO matters that peo-
pie are TOO busy 20 think about during
the winter" said Mr.. Dobley, and its
most interesting department will be a Gu
linary kindergaren.'
DO YOU mean a cooking class?' inquir-
ed Mrs Dobley-
Il mean a class in culinary education,
explained Mr. Dooley. This is a subject
in which Ne Americans are sill in the
primer stage. We have the best hotels
in the world and the finest chefs. but
about the culinary arr or even about the
proper foods and when TO eat them and
how they should be cooked we know
next to nothing"
rs this TO be a social club or philan-
thropic idea?" asked Mrs. Dooley- will
ladies be admitted to membership or will
Il be one OF those horrid eating clubsZ'
1t will be both social and philanthrop-
it, said Mr. Dobey. 1T Will refine ed
ucate and gradually ennoble lis members.
Food has more TO do with the workings
OF the mind ana the subsequent actions OF
the human being than We imagine The
trouble is that cooking Is not disnthed as
% should be among the accomplishment S.
II is reza rded by many as subject 10 b.
sealt with in the cosey corner Of coun-
try newspaper. individually we know II
is important but we refuse TO accord II
the place generally. that it deserves.
Freshington thinks that a culinary kim
dergsrJen will Ill the bill
but don't YOU think il is better that
people do not attach so much Importance
TO such things" said Mrs. Dooley. We
should probably deteriorate in other
ways"
"A proper knowledge OF food and high
er educa zion IN the cuisine would cot have
that effect" said Mr.. Dobley. 1t would
1irxt impress upon US the important tact
sEat We all eat too much and too often
and at the wrong times one CT The
first results We should aim at would De
tho abolition Of the luncheon naDit
.sYhst A dreadful plan" exclaimed Mrs.
Dobley.
Not at all said Mr. Dobley. The
luncheon habit is a hideous mistake Nine
people out of ten eat the midday meal
not because they are hungry. but for the
reason that Others do so. Women, may
saw. are the chief offenders in this re-
spect.'
Il should rather omit breakfast than
luncheon" said Mrs. Dobley, Just as
they dc abroad"
THE coffee and roll fad" said Mr.. Dob
ley, us pernicious. Il is the result OF the
deadly late supper. No. breakfast ana
dinner should be the two principal meals
for those who really require food. But
Freshington and l propose to eradicate
NnsDy this idea that food is absolutely
necessary. At all events we shall try 20
introduce and establish the capsule plan.
Think Of the time thar might be saved
IL instead of sitting down TO a course din
ner one might simply take out a case OF
assorted capsules ana the question OF din
uer would be settled in a few moments at
most To busy people this would be an
inestimab bic boon"
But If YOU did away with dinner and
luncheon giving. you would take away one
of our most delightful forms OF entertain
ing"
II think myself" said Mr.. Dobley, that
capsule dinners would be in every way
more desirable than the usual thing. Then
think of the novelty. 1t would De entirely
original and everybody is crying out for
novelty nowadays. Fancy how much it
would please a party of guests to be seat
ed around a table upon which sparkling
glass dishes eff capsules in different col
ors would be distributed instead of heavy
roasts gravies and vegetables? Think OF
the rainbow effects that might be pro-
duced ny minging the shades artistical-
ly"
Il have never seen any food capsules.
said Mr. Dobley. but didn't imagine thai
they were in colors.'
They are not at present" said Mr.. Dob
ley, 'but Freshington and ! propose &c
manufacture u capsule that will De pro
duced in al the most exquisite and newes

be of dainty tastes Therefore We vii

ION the contrary, my dear" said Mr.
Dobiey. the new way of dining wouls
do away with every disagreeable feature
OF table etiquette. No one could at
tempt TO eat with knife, for no on'
would think of slicing capsule. No one
could spill soup or tip up the plate OF

Dobley. Il am very fond of peanut sand

those in the capsule form?"
