COURSES VIII be FeVVer, but Will
Include All the Luxuries.
In way dinners are to be simpler
this winter than before. They are not
to be composed of less rich or luXurt-
Gus materials (indeed, the use of lux
ur1es in food will be of greater vogue
than ever, but according to the pic
ture, the simplicity will be present in
the form of fewer courses and less
elaborate of dishes.
Dinners will begin with one of the
hundred canapes, with caviare or with
oysters. The grapefruit as an opening
course for dinner is quite out of it.
1t comes first to the luncheon table
frequently, but when it figures in the
dinner it is as a salad And salads of
any sort must be removed as far
as possible from the ornamental vari-

mussy or messy.
Yet this appearance is not to be
avoided If several kinds of vegetables,
for instance, are collected in the salad

Wines, 1t goes without saying, must

harmonious note with the simple din

after dinner an imported mineral
water will be more popular the COM
ing season than ever. A short time
after dinner dryness OF the throat
is often experienced, and this mineral
water is refreshment at such a time
to be appreciated. 1t is also to be re-
garded as an excellent digestive.

A dozen men in the wilderness up
beyond the gateway of the ST. Law
renee where the shreds of civilization
fray out against the barrier Of the
great North link UP the world with
the wilderness of the Atlantic and the
wilds of the Arctic regions. They do
it with a wireless key and the mes
sages they receive and send pass over
barren wastes where no man lives and
land wires have never been strung.
A dozen there are who serve as
operators; others of the repairing
crew and the supplying department
come and go, but these dozen men are
year after year held practically pris-
oners on the bald cliffs of Labrador
and Newfoundland before the key of
the wireless. They send through the
air the tales of ships that come and
go, reports that may interest St.
Johns or Montreal shipping ex-
changes; relay from the one to the
other the meagre commercial mes

But the wireless men are far from
the maddening crowd even at that.
To reach the wireless station requires
sure foot and an undisturbed sense of
balance. Here in a cleft below the
summit of the cliff is the wireless hut
and in this hut less than two months
ago events occurred which need re-

cause they measure the stamina of
the men who work the wireless in

The polar ship Roosevelt worked
her way into the narrow harbor one
sunny morning, and while the town

told the operator that he wanted to

Indian Harbor had told him that the
Dominion government had abandoned
that land wire since last he had come
down from the North and he must

do it?
