Cicero Angevine was gentleman Of the old
school He didn't try to be gentleman-1ust
couldn't help it. At seventy-fve he was still uh-
able TO remain seated in crowded car where
ladies were standing. OF course, If he had lived
in New York
With advancing age Mr.. Angevine's knees grew
wobbly and his face became full of wrinkles

bellows or a bicycle pump before shaving
The dear old man became absent minded, and
sometimes lifted his wig instead of his hat In sa-
luting an acquaintance. His relatives inquired
openly about his health and coverly about his will.
But they premature. The old man took to
eating Ready Bits, the new whole-wheat, maltosed
cereal. 1t suited him exactly. 1t was as elegant
and genuine as himself. 1t did not cost him more
than other cereals only 15c. per heavy pound pack

the embodiment Of sunshine. Like him, 1t did good

breakfast with coffee. Here are directions
for their making. as given by skilled Ger
man housewife:
Put into a large bowl four cupfuls of
sifted flour, a tablespoonful of sugar and
a saltspoon of salt. Dissolve yeast cake
in half cupful of lukewarm milk, and hav-
ing made a nest in the center of the flour.
pour In the yeast Melt a quarter cupful
of butter, add to 1t one cupful of warm milk
mot hot and put in the flour with the
yeast. Beat the yolks of eight eggs until
creamy, add to the other ingredients and
mix the whole into a soft dough. Cover
and set in a warm place until the dough
has doubled it's bulk. Then divide the
dough, take half on Toured holding board
and roll into sheets about a quarter of an
inch thick, and cut into rounds with a
cake cutter. Brush these over with beaten
eggs and place IN the center of half the
number tablespoonful of jelly, MARINA
lade or lump Of sugar dipped In wine. Some
times sliced citron or raisins are used.
Cover these with the remaining half of the
rounds, press the edges together and again
cut out with cutter size smaller than
the first one used. Put on a Toured paper
or napkin set in a warm place, covered
lightly, while you repeat the process with
the remainder of the dough. BY this time
the first ones prepared should have risen to
double their bulk
Have a kettle of deep fat, smoking hot.
Drop in the cakes a few at time and keep
them turning until done, which will be
about ten minutes. Take out with a wire
SKINNER, lay on SOFT paper TO ABSORB une
grease, then roll in powdered sugar while
still warm.
While Europeans discovered long ago
that the fruit of the chestnut tree offered
infinite possibilities in the way Of bread
flour, sauces, soups, purees, forcemeats,
entries and sweet dishes for dessert, Ameri-
cans have but recently grasped the fact.
chestnut soup, for instance, is both
delicate and nourishing. 1t may be made
cream soup or simply with stock
liquor, in which the chestnuts are cooked
well seasoned and slightly thickened. In
the latter case peel almost seventy nuts,
cover with boiling water and let them
stand five or ten minutes to loosen the
brown skin. Rub each nut between the
thumb and forefinger to remove the skin.
then cook gently in well-favored stock I'M
til tender enough to rub through a sieve.
Dilute with the liquor in which they were
cooked and serve very hot. The cream
of chestnut soup has made body, quart
Of milk and half pint Of cream being
added after the chestnutS are cooked in
sailed water and rubbed through fine
strainer. Season, adding tiny bit of
sugar, If preferred. Have a beaten egg
ready, and after the soup has left the fire
stir the egg into it. If the soup is too
thick dilute with little more milk or
the water in which the nuts were cooked.
If too thin simmer little longer before
the egg is added.

but of other men that they meet in a BUSH
ness way.
These lunches for two play a big part
in the business world, and they have made
me realize how important a roe discreet
woman clerk plays in her employers af-
fairs. l have heard many a big deal dis
cussed across our tables. and the women
who come here are keen and alert as
the men who employ them.
You can tell what their relations are the
instant they settle down for lunch. man
makes the presence of his wife an excuse
for laying aside business questions. He
really entertainS her, and they study the
menu carefully with a view to enjoying
themselves. If man and a woman are
interested in the same business the lunch
Is secondary matter and they plunge
into business before the waiter has finished
writing out their order.
Personally, l regard these lunch con-
ferences as bad for the digestion and the
general health. Business men and BUSH

drop business until they return to their
offices. But you can't change the leopard
