The wOrn-Out stomach of the over

of great wealth. But milliOnaires are

greater among the tOilers. Dyspepsia
and indigestion n rampant among
these people. and they suffer far worse

THE DEMON PRINCESS
LEGEND OF TAMARA OF RUSSIA AND
HER SUlTORS.

The story, ns Narrated In the Mys-
teal Folklore of the Transcnu-
cnsus, of Why This beautiful Royal
Woman Reigned Alone.
Outside the skazkas or folk stories
Of Russia no woman is said to be more
beautiful than anything in all the
world. In the skazkas this expression
Is used only concerning the princesses
and the queens, those marvellous wo-
men who have from time immemorial
held first place in the historic lltera-
ture and the legends Of every country
on the face Of the earth.
The princesses in the English fairy
stories were more beautiful than any
thing, and the queens in all the folk
tales Of literature have been most won
drously beautiful. In the Russian folk
lore the expression Of great beauty is
used only concerning the princesses
and queens, while in other countries 1t
is used TO describe all the heroines OF
folklore stories.
In all the legends relating to early
history Of all the Russias there is no
story which is held in higher regard
than the tale Of the Princess Tamara,
who relgned over the Georgian state of
the Transcaucasus in the twelfth cen
tury. Her story holds a high place in
Russian or Georgian literature, and
Lemontoff has made a play about her
that is more thrilling in its suggestion
Il rf1 Of Two hea aFsr-I
BILE.
Sir John Maundeville in his travels
abroad found references to her terri
Bile beauty. and he has written in his
books as TO how she slew her suitors.
The legends are not easy in the
! translation, but so far as they may be
told in modern English this is the
story, coated in the mysticism of the
far east:
Ye shall know, then, that the Prin
cess Tamara dwelt in a high mountain
place-up against the clouds-wherC
the rains come down and where the
winds sweep from the crags of the
mountain tops.
IT is told i'm the countries hereaboui
that she was the most beautiful wo
man I'm all the whole world. Nowhere
was ever one more beautiful, not ever
Sheba's queen. In the great castle
she dwelt, and there came TO hel
suitors from the farthest ends Of thu
earth to sue for the hand of Tamara

high in the mountain tops where NEE

JUST FOR And
4. 4. & ABOUT WOMEN
A Vegetarian Dinner

1eA writer in What To Eat describes
"a genuine vegetarian dinner party
given by an Italian Count and Countess
who are strict vegetarians.
The first course was a delicious rice
soup, made of faxed rice, cooked in
soup made from Drowned vegetables
and served with crisp croutons. This
was followed by the dish of the dinner,
the macaroni brought to the table in
the huge brown casserole in which it
had been cooked, and which was sew
eral times replenished before the feast
was over. The macaroni was of the
broad, thick, fiat kind which Italians
prefer. After being cooked in salted
water (and the Countess insists that if
you don't put salt in the water when
you are first cooking this article you
can never get any flavor in your dish
afterward) the macaroni is put into a
colander and left with cold water run
ming over it for a few minutes to set
It. and is then placed in the casserole
which has been on the fire a good half
hour slmmerng mushrooms and a sus-
picion of garlic, and a little bouquet of
herbs and a thought of tomato, in a
liberal supply Of fine olive oil. The
macaroni remains in this mixture for
an hour, being constantly lifted and
turned so that each strip may be we'll
covered with the mushrooms and oil.
IL IS eaten as hot as the tongue p.G-
mits, and washed down with copous
draughts Of chianti the Italian vin-du-
pays.
Following this course came a wonder
ful cish of vegetables fried in batter.
There was caulifower, that was rev
elation of delicate flavor, cucumbers
sliced exceedingly thin AMI fried also in
batter, and third vegetable which
has to be imported from Italy and is
called something sounding like names
OF japanese and Russian general
mixed. The amiable hostess produced
one Of the articles whole and it looked
like a long green pumpkin, but it didn't
taste that way. These three vegetables
served together with a piquant sauce
were followed by a salad, made out OF
another imported vegetable which tast-
ed like tooth powder and hair oil,
should say like wintergreen and berga-
mot, and kept ones thoughts flying
from the fresh-mouthed morning dain-
tiness Of a nice child, to the scant and
be-plastered locks of an oily old beat
until they got cross-eyed.
After the salad, which did not make
an enormous hit with the whole party
was ice cream, cheese. coffee, and fruit
but with the possible exception of thu
salad, there was not a dish that coult
be spared from the menu, and not
guest who rose from table feeling HI
had not been sumptuously fed.
