The Queer Recipes
Of Chinese Servants

At a small dinner given recently
in Washington by a Western Sena-
tor and his wife, the conversation to-
ward dessert turned on the servant
problem, and one the guests announc-
ed she had determined to employ
Chinese servants.
my dear madam" said her host,
you will be jumping from the frying
pan into the fire. Two nights ago !
dined with Rear Admiral Blank. He
has a Chinese cook, whom they
brought with them from California.
Well, the dinner was given to cele-
brate the admiral's seventy-second
birthday The Chinese cook had
shown the greatest interest about
preparing the good things to eat, my
hostess told me, and had particularly
requested that he be allowed to make
the cake.
"The dessert arrived, and after the
ices were passed the butler came III
carrying an enormous white frosted
cake. 1t was simply delicious, as well
as ornamental Before it was cut we
all examined the decorations. In the
center, done in chocolate, was the
date of the admiraIs birthday; un-
der it the date of the day of the din
ner, and right around the cake he had
put, in large lettering:
Prepare to meet thy god!'"
well, that reminds me of some
what similar story" said another
guest, when the laughter had sub
sided. "a friend of mine employed a
Chinaman who had not been in this
country very long He was a devout
Sunday school scholar. It was his
one dissipation. In fact, he dragged
his religion Cor what he protested to
be his religion) into everything ne
did. He had a most disconcerting
habit Of putting texts on iced cakes,
and on anything else that came han
dy. For instance, he was particular
ly fond of laying chops on a dish in
the shape of a cross.
"The family did everything they
could to stop him, as these constant
reminders of Immortality were get
ting on their nerves. One night he
brought in a large cake covered with
pink and white icing. Right in the
center, in pink, were the two initials,
Is. c.
THE limit had been reached, and
John was sent for Immediately
John, this has got to stop. You
perhaps don't mean it, but this Is
sacrilegious. 1t must never occur
again
Johns face never changed. Me no

Clake"
"You may laugh at the heather
Chinee," said the senator's brother
but he has his good points. Chinese
cooks have one peculiarly, they new
er forget a receipt; once show them
a thing and they will remember it for
all time.

MARRIAGE AS SOME GIRLS VIEW IT.

some girls view marriage points as
surely to the divorce court or to n
husband who is a martyr, as though
they had set up a guide-post thereto
telling in big black letters the brief
distance. Either they want to get
away from this view, or the man who
doesn't care for such a matrimonial
career needs to be wary of them.
Such girls usually look on marriage
as a means of escape from work.
Their chant to their intimate friends
is that it will be a time when they
will have nothing to do. And there are
more girls who view it in this fash
ion than one dreams of.
Having married with this end in
view, they proceed to do nothing. If
they undertake to keep house, they
do it in such a shiftless, extravagant
fashion, the husband flies to boarding
as a happy relief. They spend their
mornings idling through the shops,
their afternoons and evenings in
cards or other. social diversions with
friends. This to them is life.
Some husbands settle down to the
grind and provide the money they
need. Others refuse to shoulder such
burden and fly to the divorce court
And often these girls do not realize
they are doing anything very repre-
hensible. They think that in marry
ing Jack, they have made him happy
and that it is a husbands duty to

I'm Vancouver, where 1 have lived
for the last ten years, there are moth
ing but Chinese servants to be had
for love or money They tell this
amusing story out there to illustrate
that a Chinaman proves himself an
apt pupil.
"One of the consuls there had a.
very fine Irish cook, Bridget, whom
they trusted implicitly. She went
with them to Vancouver. Well, two
years later, Bridget told them she
was going to get married and they
must find another cook. 1t was east
er said than done. Finally, they
came to the inevitable-a Chinaman.
On his arrival the consul took him
into to the kitchen and introduced
him to Bridget, saying;
Bridget will remain here a week
to teach you. So do exactly as Bird
get does
"The Chink turned out to be a good
cook, and the consul and his wife
congratulated themselves on their
find. Three weeks after Bridget's
departure the consul went into the
kitchen to look for a buster which
could not be found. When he looked
in the closet he was surprised to see
row of neat paper packages on the
shelf
Look here, Ling Sing, what are
these things?"
"'Me do like Blidget did. Twelve
eggs come, me take six eggs, tie IN

riage so specifically. They do not
realize how much Of the load II is
their duty to carry Nor do they
realize how much greater happiness
they would get out of married life If
they did carry It. Their idea of hap
piness goes no farther than having
nothing to do.
The girl who views marriage in this
way should, both for her own sake
and her husbands, wake up to its
responsibilities and its deeper mean
ings. She should not simply be n
load for her husband to carry. She
should march in step with him and
help carry the burdens marriage has
brought. She will know the deeper,
richer joys of comradeship, and the
satisfaction that really comes with
successfully mastering responsible
ties There's a depth and a sweetness

Not Marrying Men

Of the modern bachelor who does not
need a woman TO look after him2
Bachelors are becoming more and
more domesticated," lady well
known I'm the social world told the
London Daily Mirror. They can sew
on buttons, darn socks and mend rents
in their clothing.
Gradually they are becoming indie
pendent Of woman's aid in these mat
ters. They can look after themselves
instead Of marrying in order TO get a
woman to do these things.
THE growing domesticity of young
men and the increasing worldliness Of
young women is, am sure, respon-
sible for the present slump in the
matrimonial market.
81 know young men who have pur-
chased their little housewives and
calmly set to work in their leisure
hours darning their socks or sewing
on buttons on their coats.
"They enjoy the work. Tt is sooth-
ing after business hours they say,
as they puff at a pipe and commence
stitching a torn glove.
An interesting opinion on this sub
1ect was also obtained from a we'll
known needlework expert
"An increasing number OF young
men," she said, "are taking an inter-
est in sewing generally. They are GER
tainly becoming more domesticated.
ION the other hand, the twentieth
century girl can think only Of golf,
theaters and dances-everything else
is rot"
Inquiries made at a large empor-
ium show that large numbers of
housewives" (bags containing nee
dies, cotton, wool, etc. are now sold
to young men.
even middle-aged men are devo-
tees of the needle" said a salesman.
"They sometimes bring with them a
piece Of colored WOOL 4 want a skein
of wool this color they say, to mend
my socks
"Other men have purchased various
silks and cottons for making embroi-
deries and table centers. 4 am making

wife, one man told me.
at is chiefly among bachelors, how
ever, that this domestic phase has be-
come so prominent. They probably
find the work of 'mending' congenial
and restful for the mind.
"If men are content to do their own
sewing and mending, marriages, when
they are made, will be more idea
than they have been in the past" &
well-known novelist said.
when a domesticated man falls IN
love with woman there can be nj
underlying selfish motive. He does moi
want her simply because she can lool
after him. 1t would be a case Of rea
altruistic affection and love-"

most he ever tipped the scale at in his

Latest official data from Emil Klank

see Gotch enter the ring weighing
about 212 pounds Every day Gotch Is

he can slip into the lake from his bed.

When the Cubs resume their battles
with Brooklyn today there will be a
new batting order which was worked
out by Manager Chance during the rest
hours of yesterday. Jimmy Archer and
Artie Holman will exchange places in
the swatting list.
The timely stick work the Cub back
stop has been doing of late. combined
with the batting slump experienced by
Circus Solly is the cause of the contem-
plated switch. This will break up the
long time combination of three out
fielder pals at the top of the list. but
will not change the combination of
right and lef flanders. BY promoting
Archer to third place Manager Chance
hopes to utilize the catcher's pinch hit
ting ability to better advantage because
of the frequency with which Sheckard
and Schultz get on bases. Holman will
not be without opportunities to drive in
runs, even If dropped to eighth place.

sionally, If not oftener.
