An Ode to PiepIant.

No matter what else may
come or go, rhubarb is here. and
rhubarb pie repalce a goneness with a
filling sensati on that is glad halIelujah
and benson. An American table
without rhubarb pie in the spring is
as barren as county fair without a
pumkpin, or a church sociable without
grass widow.
After a man has wintered on
excelsior, ba led hay and other break
fast foods and dried apples, rhubarb
pie puts new vim and energy into him
like the bent PIN to- the anatomy of
the adolescent pedagogue. 1t stirs his
innermost processes with joyous
melody and startles his palate into a
paean of praise. 1t is a rhapsody, an
anthem, a superb harmony. It per-
meates. his being with the gee whiz of
the horseradish and the aroma OF
spring, it elevates in joy and makes
one feel like yearling colt doing
didoes in green pastures. Tt instigates
ambition and induces hilarity, it
gives the stomach joyous tone and
tickles. the gullet nightly, it really
hits the spot with delightful sensa-
tions.
RhubaTb pie is to the housewife
what the spring hat is to the milliner,
acreation and phenomenon. IF the
crust is just right and the inwards
perfect, it is the elysium of exhilara-
ton. and the superexcellence of de-
light. 1t grows in the night like
Jonan's gourd and is so cheap that it
can be fed to tramp with impunity
or accompanied by doughnut
Pieplant stands just between the
vegetable and the fruit; ir is the con-
Meeting link between agriculture and
horticulture, but can get out of the
ground and into pie while an apple
is studying the ACCESSIBILITY of bios
soIning. Tt is one of the most sudden
of all garden products and arrives just
between hay and grass. 1t is the pie
timbr of frugality and the harbinger
of hope to the housewife. It greets
the rich and the poor alike and
dozen hills of it will feed an army.
1t is the forerunner of asparagus.
