MARTYR TO HOME COOKING.
Wife Wanted Him to Test II for Her
Own Experience.

The first part Of the dinner had gone
of with quite surprising success, but
when the young housewife put the
dessert upon the table there seemed
to be a halt in the proceedings. 81
don't believe I'll take any Of this,
dear" her husband said. "YQl see, I've
eaten 80 much, and you know, desserts
aren't my strong point anyway"
That's a delicate way Of saying
that they aren't mine," she pouted.
"But you'll have to eat this one, any
way, for economy's sake, II for nothing
else"
"Why?"
"Because"-this in a confessional
tone-'it represents so much. l was
hunting my cook books this afternoon
for something that would especially
please you, when I found this recipe.
My first attempt was a dismal failure,
the second only a little better, and
well-this is the sixth. II you don't
take 1t I'll feel that all my experience
has gone for nothing, to say nothing
Of the butter, eggs and"
I'm just waiting for my share" he
announced in the tone Of one deter
mined to prove that marriage Is not q

POVERTY IN ENGLISH CITIES
Appalling State Of Misery That Is un.
known In. America.

No country In the world exhibits SO
painfully and 30 publicly the squalor
and suffering of the poor as England.
There are slums In New York, but
London is all slums. The misery OF
the poor and the vices to which the
poor fly for an %anodyne to misery,
overflow the precincts of the East End
and stain Mayfair. If selfshly bent, a
man a escape the evidences of
human suffering in an American city.
The people of Fifth avenue might
never know flat there was such q
thing as abject poverty II they did not
see 1t in It's least u~nfavorable aspect
from a cab window while on their way
to their country houses on Long island
or in New Jersey. But in London
there Is no escape. Base, brutalizing
poverty sweeps along Park lane and
gazes with sorrowful, cowardly yes
at the palaces Of South African mil
lionaires. 1t crowds the June morn
ing parade Of smart ladies' in Bond
street. 1t touts for cabs or needlessly
sweeps crossings in front of the restau-
rants. It fills the Strand with drunk.
ards and Piccadilly with prostitutes.
1t is to be seen in the squares Of the
fashionable neighborhoods where Its
presentment is drunken women asleep
with their babies in their arms. Eng
land may be the richest country in the
world. but London is a swamp Of
dreadful poverty. In degree the
provincial cities are as bad. Who that
has yer seer them can forget the
palpable miseries of the poor of Edin-
burgh and Glasgow and Dublin p

and the water department. be compelled

damage done to them would be. ihsig-
nifcant as compared to that done to an
extensively paved street through its ali
too frequent tearing up for the laying
and fixing OF mains.
