All the little folk must have neard OF
the good King Arthur and his knights Of
the Round Table. for many are the legends
and tales that have been told about them
King Arthur is supposed to have lived
some time about the sixth century, though
no ono really knows that he ever lived at
all or If he lived, what was the country
in which he ruled and wrought his brave
deeds Most Of us think of him as having
been King Of England. but other people
besides the English have claimed him as
their prince. Six hundred years after his
death the people Of Bretagne, in France,
1vorshipped him as their hero, and when a
son was born 10 the Duchess Constance,
who was ti;eir lawful ruler. though the
King OF England allowed her very little
liberty IN her own land. they demanded
that he should be named Arthur, and hoped
that he. ike the first Arthur, would bring
deliyersnce 10 his oppressed country. But
their hopes We're not 10 be realized. for the
Toor little prince after q troubled life Or
only fifteen years. died I'm a manner that
was as sad = could vel be.
King Henry II Of England had seized
the Duchess Constance when she was only
three years old, and. to secure the posses
sion Of the Duchy Of Bretagne to his own
family. arranged 10 have her marry his
son. Geoffrey. When Constance was five
years old and Godfrey eight, they were
crowned as Duke and Duchess Of Bretagne.
but Henry continued 10 rule the country
until they were grown UP and married.
Then Geoffrey began to assert his rights,

the hands, as is sometimes directed by
candymakers. There are several nice ways
of making candy from this fondant, or
Foundation" For one, cut out squares OF
the fondant and dip them into pan of
melted chocolate or pour a little melted
chocolate over them. For another, form
some of the fondant into balls and press
half an English walnut on either side. For
a third nuts may be chopped and mixed
with the foundation before it hardens.
Russian epcures say that the less done
TO caviar the better. They would have it
sent to the table just as it is, accom-
panied with fresh-made toast and quar-
tered lemon. Here is a way Of serving
caviar, however, that is almost as simple:
Cut rectangles Of brown bread and butter
them lightly. Spread thinly with caviar,
squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over
it and garnsh with watercress or sliced
tomatoes.
Eggs a la Buckingham is only a va
ration of the simple dish of eggs and
cheese Arrange five or six slices of toast
over a platter. Pour over them a few
scrambled eggs slightly underdone.
Sprinkle with four tablespoonfuls of grated
cheese Then set the platter containing
the eggs into the oven and let the cheese
melt. by which time the eggs should be
completely done. Serve while very hot.
Poached or fried eggs are very appetiz-
ing when sprinkled with grated cheese.
Parmesan cheese is the best TO use for this
purpose, but ordinary American factory
cheese viii do very well. After sprinkling
with the cheese the eggs may be set into
the oven for the cheese TO melt.

tablespoonful OF lemon juice. Mix all
