A StorY of a Bowl OF Soup.


This is the story Of a bowl Of soup.
Incidentally and preparatory TO il, q
man Of family had struck il rich" IN
coal lands. He was getting ready TO
move with this grown-up family 20 an
atmosphere with less coal and smoke
in it and to a horizon that was not
bounded by hill farms. A Chicago doctor
tells the story.
The man who had coal to burn was
getting ready to leave the scenes Of
/ his early youth, where ne had been
/ called Bill He was getting a royalty
on black diamonds sufficient TO support
exceedingly white ones, and IN leaving
the old home he wanted the latter end
Of his stay TO be q good deal more
kaleidoscope than was the first
To this end a dinner dance was given
to the elect of his choice. A chef and
several assistants were imported from
the nearest metropolis. The archestra
came from the same place, and the
menu at last was so full of French cpl
CLOTHS that guests took the whole course
for granted, ate the strange dishes as
they saw their neighbors eat, and had
one Of the most uncomfortable times Of
their whole lives.
When it had made nearly every eligi-
bic society person in the village ashamed
of his ancestry, the man who was going
away in a compartment sleeper con-
cluded that he would have the chefs
and the orchestra come back and repeat,
this time in honor Of his daughter
friends.
Nearly everybody who was invited
came They were all young and mex
perienced OF the world, including the
hostess. AS a starter, a bowl of brule
was set before her to serve.
For the benefit of the uninitiated, brule
is thick soup. In serving it good
deal of the black art is introduced.
When it is brought on alcohol is poured
over it. The dining-room lights are
turned low a little more alcohol is put
into the soup ladle, q lump Of sugar is
dropped into that, and then with a wax
taper the ladle is set alight, with its thin
blues green fame Carefully the ladle is
sunk into the bowl, upon which the
whole surface takes fire, burning off
the alcohol in weird fashion and warming
the dish.
But the young hostess on this occa-
sion was nervous. She had no difficulty
in setting the ladle alight, but when she
attempted to light the bowl the fame
went out.
The taper was gone. The guests had
real country appetites. The hostess was
crimson with embarrassment. So, as a
way out of the predicament, the lights
were turned up again ana the brule
served as it was.
Restraint at table had been painful to
q degree undreamed of by the humane
society. Guests who all their young lives
had eaten pie with a fork reserved from
the discarded meat plate saw too many
l-.shes lined up for use. The menu was
appalling.
1t had been awful up to the time the
light went out.
but somehow" says the doctor. who
tells the story. we began to have an
awfully nice time after we drank the
soup. I didn't like the stuff, as I re-
member, and I don't suppose any one
else did, but in fifteen minutes after
the soup-platcs We're gone we were all
having the time Of our lives.
