On July 26, at the Louisiana and
Texas rice kitchen a dinner was
given to the local newspaper people
here. Mrs. II. L. Gueydan, of the
Gueydan News, large rice planter,
sat at one end of the table and Col.
Eggleston at the other. Rice cooked
in every conceivable way made up
the menu. Chichen gumbo fiji soup
was first served. In the bottom of
each plate was soft shell crab, an
innovation hitherto unheard of here,
though everybody accepted it with a
he..rty appreciation as the Creole
way of beginning dinner. The
piece de resistance was Spanish

Gueydan, and when the plates were
changed everybody drank to her
health in the fine old sherry which
was served with it. l have eaten
rice prepared in similar way in the
Orient, where royalty itself is fond
of it. The young Queen of Italy is
said to cook rice in this way 30 sue
cessfully that she frequently used to
prepare it for the late King Hum

favorite dish, and with the addition

sauce it is the famous Russian
"pilaff," which the traveller finds on
the bill of fare in the finest hotels ir
that country and it's neighbors.

at the head Of whom is Miss Ella
