Had the Americans paid LOCO francs for
their table they ought to have had a mighty
fine dinner included with 1t. Stories of
prices in these establishments are very much
exaggerated in the telling. 1t is true that
the prices are not marked in plain figures.
The pretext is that with such high-class
material with fruits and vegetables out of
season. the market price must vary daily.
For example. stray melons are costing 81
apiece in the big markets. Served au Porto
they Will surely cost more here. There are
certain nectarine peaches, very luscious,
very big. very beautiful that will be
counted 81 apiece. There are Chateau wines
or Bourdeaux and Burgundy of certain
years that cost SIS per bottle Table deco
ration can run high in winter, when 70
cents apiece has been paid for lily OF the
valley stems; but at present flowers are
cheaper.
Not Very Expensive Repasts.
IN word. you can be sure that these
swell people are not averaging over SO
apiece for their dinners: all told, even with
invited parties included. / doubt II Santos

surrounded by Russian salad, with a straw

The Comte de MontesquIou has his own
magnificent villa in the Boulevard Maillot

Fond Of the Razzle.

Fond of the Razzle.
1t is certainly Paris tendency-to quit
ones interior and dine in the razzle, as one
lives all day in the razzle. So the Castel-
lanes quit their palaces to eat night after
night in restaurants. You have heard of
the palace Of Boni, built with American
money. 1t Is copied exactly on the Grand
Ir1anon at Versailles: but because it lacks
space around 1t and because it's pink Italian
marble looks queer in the low lights of
France 1t has been named the "Trianon de
Mortadelle"-"the Bologna Sausage Tria-
non"
Boni's brother Jean de Castellane, lives
In palace less talked of. but. the
whole. in better taste. BY his wife. the
lovely young widow Of the late Ger
man PRINCE Furstenburg. he rolls in

Dion had finished explaining the auto acct
dent Boni told joyous story OF the old
prince, who. few years ago, after COM
ing into great fortune, went soft in the
head, retired from Paris. and continues to
live in chateau. very retired.
1t seems that one of the added special
ties of the old prince is to simply hate
his wife, the daughter Of a French banker
and a good business woman, who has had
him 'interdicted," i.e., declared incompe-
tent to handle his money. Now. there are
two special words which Erenchmen use to
insult ladies-"cow" (vache) and camel
tchameau). So. every time he saw his
wife the old prince called out ''vache"
with vehemence. 1t came to be a habit
with him. Apart from this he seldom
spoke.
An Interesting Incident.
AS the family kept the old prince pretty
we'll secluded this amiable speciality re-
manned unknown to the world; but a time
came when the old princes presence was
absolutely required at very large family
council-it was to discuss the separation
of his son, the DUO de VaIency, from the
daughter of Levi P Morton, and they said:
What shall we do? The old prince Will
call his wife 'vache' the moment she APP
pears.
Then Jean de Castellane had an idea.
Pointing to a lawn on the other side OF
the window, he said: I'VE will tether
q cow there in full view. When the prince
cries 'vachet we will make it appear he Is
admiring the cow
So 1t was ordered. The cay arrived The
family council was gathered The COW
was tethered. And the old prince was led
in blubbering and hiccoughing and
scolding no one knew what. Jean
de Castellane stood ready by the WIN
dow His old valet pushed the old
prince toward the window. and at the same
moment the old prince caught frst
glimpse of his hated spouse. What every
Lifting his old head, his old face screwed
up with malignant hate. the old prince
straightened himself. took a good breath,
and. looking straight at his wife, shouted
''Chameau!'

DAINTY CANNiBAL DISHES,
Hands and Feet Regarded by Man
Eaters as Great Luxuries-
Wealth OF Liberia,

London.-That there is epicurianism
among cannibals was shown by Sir Har-
ny Johnston, the African explorer, lee
turing before the Royal Geographical
society," on Liberia, the Independent
coast land of West Africa, which is the
end of northern Guinea.
Within the limits of the forest, he
said, there was no doubt that cannibal-
ism prevailed. 1t was marked feature
in the life of the Bella. These people
are said to relish most keenly the hands
and feet, and this very dainty dish is
usually set before king or chief alone"
Another interesting feature men,
toned was that in Liberia no one had
ever observed complete nudity among
either men or women. The minimum
concession to clothing was a strip Of
bast Ozark cloth) from fig tree. Lii
berians did not wear dressed skins, for
astronomical reason.
Il am told,' said the lecturer, that
so greedy are they after food that when
any beast is killed the hide is roasted
and eaten"
Sir Harry says that the great wealth
of Liberia lies in it's rubber, the trade
in which is there still in it's infancy.

Roberta was stricken with an illness
some days ago that puzzled the physi-
clan. She requested her mother to put
her to bed. as she felt weary Shortly
thereafter the child passed into a coma
tose state, from which she could not be
aroused. Her breathing and heart pull
sations became imperceptible to those
attending the patient and it was thought
that she was dead.
She remained in this condition for II
hours, and upon awakening called for
her mother. to whom she said: Mamma
am going to get better. Jesus told me
so. | saw him and five angels at heay-

robes and looked SO happy. One angel

daughter and Jesus said, You will get
better. Go back and I will call YOU
