TYPICAL DINNER IN FRANCE
Princess Hassan Telis Of a Meal and
Its Service In the Land Of
True Eplcures-

A typical French dinner-not an
exceptional one, mark you, but such
dinner as a small bridesmaids fam
ny would have-is incomparably SUI
peT4Or to the plain roast dinner.
There would be, first of ALL a few
relishes. according to the season of
the year. Radishes. ice cold, sardines,
olives, caviar. Just a little Of each
with which to awaken the appetite,
then the soup to excite gently the
liquids Of the throat and stomach,
then little entree-usually a bit of
fish with its appropriate vegetable,
or q handful OF vegetables favored
with meat sauce, Then, and not till
then. does the chief course appear
1t may be q roast, or game, or
chicken. or chops, but in no case will
1t be anything which is not in har-
mony with the previous courses and it
will be eaten in moderation, for the
edge of the diners appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
have preceded 1t. With It comes the
salad-varied throughout the year by
all the possible changes OF the sea-
son. and never, never by any posi-
bility will 1t be such dreadful green
hybrid as the romaine. strawberry
and green pepper thing. After the
salad there will be fruit OF mellow
cheese. and then coffee. 1t Will take
two hours to eat such dinner, but it
will take only half what the typical
American dinner costs to pay for it.
and there will be no indigestion aft
erward, no matter of what the din.
ner Is composed.-Princess Hassan in
an Interview by Louise Rice in the
Delineator.

There are still two opinions con-

bino, had never imagined such a cher
ub as hers. Quite simply she be-
lieved it. And the baby's hair was red
1t did not occur to her that red hair
was anything but completely and whol-
ly admirable. The little shining cop
per colored head seemed to her the
sum of all that was radiant and love
ly.
''I've come for the baby's wash,
maam."
1t was Mrs. OLeary, the washer
woman,-a rawboned. detected soul
who spoke. Evidently there was for
her no inexpressible glory shining
amid the blue and white draperies Of
bassinet How hard the world was
on some women! So thought the
young mother and proudly drew back
the cover from the baby's nest.

Buggy Ride With Her.

Did you ever take a buggy ride in

Along the road-all too short-you
drove. Moo cows mooed in the dis

you were lost to bovine plants and
maternal solicitudes. Pungent odors
from the dog fennel mingled with the
faint perfume of the thistle's bloom.
The night dew lay on the fields, star

Bird That Has Four Lans.


British Guiana boasts Of one Of the
few survivors of the many peculiar
birds now known mostly as fossils,
according to a writer in Our Dumb
Animals. This is the crested hoact.
Yin, and may be found only In very
dense and unexplored forests. The
hoactzin is noted chiefly for It's De.
culiarity in possessing four well de-
veloped legs.
This would never be suspected in
the adult bird, inasmuch as a certain
modification begins while the bird
is yet young, whereby the claw-like
legs or hands become shaped like
wings, and feathers are grown, 80
that when this bird gets It's full plum
age there is nothing left from which
one would suspect that these wings
were once legs.
The young birds, before this modi-
fication does take place, leave the
nest and climb or scramble over the
limbs not unlike tree toads or young
monkeys. They feed on the young
arum leaves and are in this young
state the nearest approach to a quad
ruped of any bird.

British Union Jack.

The union jack, the national ban
ner of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, is formed out of
the combination of the crosses of St
George, of st. Andrew and of ST. Pat
rick, these three crosses being the ma
tional banner of England, Scotland
and Ireland, respectively. The first
union jack, which was introduced by
royal proclamation in 1906, three years
after the union with Scotland, bore
only the crosses of two countries,
England and Scotland. This combina-
ton was proclaimed in 1907 as the ma
tional flag of Great Britain. On the
union with Ireland, the cross of st.
Patrick, with it's four limbs, edged
with white on one side, was added.
