".APPLE PIE ORDER"
Mr.. GWlLLPLlLLBLY ARISES TO
QUESTION OF INFORMATION.
Wants 10 Know the Origin Of This
Familiar Phrase-lncidentaI He
Chants Praises Of the
Real Pie.

Il know" said Nj Gwillpiillbly
'thia is pretty hot weather to he ask
ing questions. but | would like it il
somebody would tell me the origin OF
the phrase in apple pie order mean
ing, as YOU know, that the thing or
place so characterized is In the very
sIickest and trimmest sort of shape
homely perhaps, but attractive AMI
wholesome. 1t originated in New
England, no doubt: this use Of pie as
q basis of comparison seems clearly
to indicate that but how did apple
pie come thus to be set mp as the
symbol of superior excellence?
y suppose it was partly because Of
apple pies priority OF invention, for |
imagine it will be conceded that apple
was the first pie; but | suppose that
its continued use In this manner has
been due to the apple pies unbrokeny
continued prominence in all good pie
qualities II could not have been long
after the invention of apple pie be-
fore pumpkin pie was introduced, and
mnce is certainly an old time pie and
so likewise is cranberry; and in apple
pie order certainly could not at once
have become so firmly ntrenched
among tho contempOraueous native
New England forms of speech as to
preclude the possibility of its being
supplanted by in pumpkin pie order,
on in mjnce pie order if these not
much liked productions Of Pilgrim in
genuity had either of them displaced
apple pie from the highest pinnacle
Of popular esteem
but neither Of them ever did. which
shows TO my mind incidentally not
only the clcarhcadedness and correct
taste of those saeactous early inven
tors of pie but as well the perspicuity
Of their succeeding generations. IL
apple pie order stll stands. as indeed
it should for of al, pies apple pie is
undoubtedly The best. and if we are
70 have a pie dsure 10 denote excel
lence that pie should be apple pie.

the top crust, so deity that it il
never broken nor even its edges

Of crust has been thus removed they
spread around on the surface Of the

some people sprinkle in a little grated

the nutmeg and now they add SUGAR

Mrs. Doane came to Brocktoh. the

work and managed to get employment
in the Packard establishment as as

the business cares heavier ana heavier
as he grew older, he gradually began

until she practically was running the
business. Consequently she does lot
feel she is taking up anything new,
although her appointment gives her
