well, I've asked KrifffR to dinner
with us Thursday"
Thursday! Oh. Warren!"
Whats the matter with Thurs
day?'
why, dear you said you'd give me
plenty of time-and today's Tuesday,
We'll, you've got two days. How
much more do you want! We've got to
have them some time. Might as well
be Thursday"
But | hoped If you took them out
We needn't have them here"
"Of course we must have them here.
] told you Griffen would appreciate
that more than anything we could do.
He's got this company pretty we'll or
ganiZed now, and l believe he's going
to let me in on the ground floor. Now
/ want you to have a bang-up dinner.
Never mind the cost. If you and Della
can't do it-get woman to help
But, dear, do you think We can get
up a really big dinner here?"
Don't have to have a big dinner,
Nobody wants a lot of things. Just
few special dishes and have them
mighty good. We want to give them
something they can't get out West.
Here, taking some letters from his
pocket and making notes on the back
of an envelope-weIl make out the
menu right here. Fresh cavair to start
with-how does that strike you?"
Helen who had never eaten or even
seen fresh caviar, could only murmur
a vague assent.
There only a few places you can
get it fresh. Better go to Rs. That's
Just the thing--fresh caviar. That's be
np1 il
out West"
And he wrote it down on the envel-
ope.
Now. what's next? CLANS, I sup
pose Can't have much else with ca
vair. SOUP No it's too warm-wel
cut cut the soup. Now what kind OF
fish,"
"Rluef1sh," suggested Helen uncer-
tainly
Too dry. l have it---shad roe! Can't
get thai out West either. Shad roe and
bacon. Have the bacon crisp. Now let's
see what we have here, (reading from
the envelope> Fresh caviar, clans,
shad roe We went try to have an en-
tree. Now the rCast.'
But the inspiration for the roast did
net come. They talked over and reject
ed mallard duck, guinea hen, goose,
rack of spring lamb. With the pota-
toes Drowned on the inside, this made
most attractive dish. The lamb, or
course demanded new peas.
That's all the vegetables" as he
wrote them down. "Just the potatoes
and peas. Well not try to have too
much Now the salad
Helen suggested endive, which was
always her favorite salad. Warren
thought dandelion with egg would be
more seasonable. But both were final
1y rejected in favor of the artichoke-
artichoke vtnafgrette.
The desert presented a most difficult
problem. The ordinary ices Warren
tabooed. Want something more origi-
nal or We'll cut it out
Helen got the cook book and sug-
gested various fancy buildings and
pastries, but he waved them all aside.
I've got it! Zabalon!"
'Zabalon?" Helen repeated blankly.
THAT stuff Stevens ordered at that
Italian restaurant"
oh. that was delicious: But dear,
l wouldn't know how to make that"
Don't want you to make it. Get it
t'-nre Have them send it in just in
t,!un for dinner. Pll attend to that.
Now what kind of cheese, or do we
want cheese?"
A RICH DESSERT.
Isn't that dessert very rich?" asked
Helen. Would we want some with
that?
"That's so. Zabalon is pretty rich.
All right. we'll cut out the cheese. Just
coffee and a cordial
And the wine, Warren? You'll see
to thar.
I'll look after the wine. I'll have
bottle of cocktails mixed at the club.
Can't mix them right here, and the
bottled kind aren't fit to drink. Grit
fen drinks Scotch, and some Sautere
for you and Mrs. Griffin. Most women
like >sSauterne I'll drink Scotch with
him
Here Warren rose, threw the en-
velope down on the table, yawned and
stretched.
"That's settled. I'll stop at the club
this afternoon and order wine. You'd
better phone abou the fresh cavair
This morning. They don't keep much
