.CASTELLANE'S CHEF BEST IN THE WORLD. Culinary Art In Paris Is Now
 Perfection PUPIL ExCELS TEACHER Less ornamentation and More vari-4 ety" Is Now the Motto In the
 centlemen's Kitchens In
 French Capital.
PUPIL ExCELS TEACHER
BY MARQUIS DE cAsTELLANE.

Paris, February 15.-Is the French cnl- mary art in it's decadence? Or is it still following its old triumphant way from one success to another?
 I can reassure the lovers of good cheer who come up to Paris every spring. Never have there been greater culinary artists in France. Never has the art been car ried to such a pitch of perfection
 One thing has happened. In the last few years we have abandoned the sump- tuous and artificial service of the dinners of other days. In aristocratic houses you no longer see those monumental con- -pretentious made dishes-Which belonged to the department of the sculp- or rather than to that. of the head cook And above all we have got rid of those absurd silver covers and heaters when were supposed to keep the meats warm and merely succeeded in stif1ing them m & lukewarm atmosphere. Unquestionably we have progressed in this important art
 The motto in gentlemen's kitchens is sIess ornamentation and more variety Our cooks strive with each other In 1n- venting new and dainty dishes. Often the surprises are rare; and this, believe me, has added a new interest to dining out in the houses of the aristocracy. More over, frequenters of the Cafe Anglais will tell you that the celebrated Ducla- ray, for so many years chef of this his toric restaurant, has been surpassed by his pupil and successor. And if you ask the arstocracy who is the real heir of the high traditions of French cook ing they will name Monsieur Guerin, the chef of Madame la Marquise de Cas- tellane; him, in fact, the gourmets of Paris look upon as a demi-god of the Kitchen He it was who invented the marvellous omelette a la Norvesienne; and he compares it's iridescent tints to a sunset in the fogs of London.
 'But why do you call 1t Norwegian?" he was asked.
 sBecause," said the poet cook, it has burning lips and a heart of snow.' In fact. the omelette is frozen within. while it flames without

The strenuous introduction of the bridge into all self-respecting salons-so stren- uous, indeed, that the young generation refuses to enter a saloon where the ta- bles and cards do not stand ready-has led some of the grande danes to try and recreate the old French conversa- tional charm and gaiety by calling in the aid of the theatre.
 Thus Madam la Marquise de Brau has been giving some charming afternoons to which all her friends focked, forgetting their daily bridge. She rented for the afternoon i'll one of the theatres the en- tire balcony, and had buffet prepared by the people of her house. Her friends ar. rived chatted with each otherfi watched the charming spectacle on the stage and during the entr' actes visited the admir- able buffet. After one or two of these delightful afternoons we fancied bridge had been dethroned. Vain hopei
 At the last matinee given by Madam la Marquise de Brau mysterious folding tables appeared-and the bridge lovers brought them in their pocketsi-and be- fore the first act was over one-half the guests had withdrawn to the back of the balcony and were gloonily and strenu- ously playing bridge. *t2

Parisians can scarcely believe that she worked her way up from chorus girl Indeed, such a feat is unknown on our light comedy stage. A chorus girl here is engaged for a merely nominal sum to parade before the footlights. As far as any attempt at acting or singing is con cerned that does not figure in the con- tract. In America, believe, every chorus girls aim is to outdo her neighbor, she is really eager to show her mettle, and from this humble beginning she may climb to the topmost rung of the ladder of fame.
 Without dwelling on Miss Leasing 8 charming personality and pleasing voice which are after all not so very exceptional lit must be said that she has the very unusual attraction which I may describe as an intelligent smile. It's rare charm distinguishes her above all else. It is what might be called an honest smile, 1t has nothing of the covert or suggestive about it.. Perhaps other. Atlantic actresses have 1t; perhaps 1t is indicative of career free from sentimental compli- cations, but in France 1t is rare indeed.
 Why has our smart set gone mad over the subject of private theatricals this season? Why must the actors be society folk? Years ago French circles were far too formal to countenance the familiarity which naturally attends such perform ances. Nowadays I suppose it must be considered logical phase of the gradual but sure Americanization of our customs. Some hostesses give these entertainments from reasons of economy. Others as. U clever pose. Such performances are natur- ally economical, because all the partici- pants give their services gratuitously, whereas formerly society women vied with each other in securing the most high priced professionals for private soirees. Hostesses who follow this fashion as a pose do 1t because they are no longer young or beautiful, and theatricals are a sure means of attracting the younger folk.
 I remember when society was contented with simple charades or one-act plays. Now any such performances would only elicit yawns. Our present-day social leaders are obliged to provide an enter tainment with an element of joyous indis- erection. The great ambition of the so- ciety leading lady is to be compared to the professional stars, and to have some fattering journalist (who has been per- mitted to witness the exclusive perform ance) mention that the Duchess Some body has emotional qualities similar to ReJane or Sarah that the Marquise Someone Else has 6 breadth of interpre- tation similar to that of Jeanne Granier.
 Then these great ladies immediately be- gin to talk about missing their vacations and over the tea cups dwell upon tho handicaps exalted position puts upon their natural gifts. This winter a whole galaxy of stars hitherto unknown has appeared in the world of society drama. Among others are M. Desplays, Countess Beau mont, Viscountess de Guern and the Countess de Iridern.

Cotton n Society Islands.

In the last issue of the bulletin Of
the department. of labor and commerce
Consul Julius D. Dreher Of Tahiti calls
attention to the growing of sea island
cotton in the Society islands, stating
that increased interest has been cre-
ated by several lopg articles in the
official journal and by the offer of the
Caisse Agricole, bank having close
relations with the colonial govern
ment, to guarantee a minimum price
of cents in the seed for all sea island
cotton produced in the colony. In
1905 sea island cotton to the amount
of feight and third metric tons (metric-
ton equals 2, 2O4,6 pounds) was export
ed from these islands, and in 1906 %
9-10 metric tons. =
However, if all the available land
for growing this valuable product were
under cultivation, the quantity pro-
duced would have little or no effect
on the world market price. DR.. Dreher

brother of superintendent Dreher of

Bank Your Money.

The Newberry Observer gives this
good advice. *Ifyou have any money
put it in the bank. Don't keep it
about the house as a temptation to
thieves and robbers. Banks are safe.
Not one in thousand ever fails. A
railroad engineer in Augusta had 3d.
600 stolen from his residence one night
last week. It has not been many
years since a good woman of this
county had $1,000 stolen from ber.
premises and good man had 500
from his. The bank is the place for
your money until you get ready to
spend it. Of course one ought to keep
little loose change about him for
convenience; but home isno place for
laying up money for saving"

Prohibition Means Better Farm

Hudson. "On my own farms in South
Georgia I have observed changes for

tell me that they are having much
better success in securing labor UNDER

"Prohibition is driving hundreds of
negroes from the cities to the farms,;
and expect to see good labor plentiSs

that large part of the negro labor
can not be handled without whiskey
but I do not subscribe to it at all. !.
II have been a farmer all of my.

enters into it. Did you ever observes {
how few negroes you see who are ha

whiskey as long as he can buy it or;
get it, but when it is taken from him
he goes along without apparently suf-..
fering from shaken nerves that tor

''No negroes are leaying the state,
except the natural shifting of the ire

works, and upon whose movements
the liquor question has no effect. We

this year, and it will be better, stead

than we have known for years. AT.

was all right, then the county will be
established. There is not likely to be
any Aght whatever over the matter.
On the matter of taxation propos-
ition that is attracting good deal of
interest is that of Senator Griffin, of
Colleton. The pith of the scheme is
"that hereafter timber held Or owned
shall be assessed and taxed separately
from the lands on which it grows"
The bill is short but reaches out after
an entirely new line of taxable values
and reads as follows:
Section l. That from and after the
approval of this Act it shall be the
duty of all persons and corporations
who now or may hereafter come into
possession of timber, standing or
growing upon lands of others, to re-
turn the same to the county auditor
of their respective counties at their
actual value for taxation.
Section 2. That hereafter timber
held or owned shall be assessed and
taxed separately from the lands on
which it grows.
The measure is now pending before
the finance committee of the Senate.
