spoons arranged in order Of usage-is
the standard of the polite world. For
simplicity and elegance it has no equal.
The walters or attendants pass every
thing. The dinner knife is placed TO
the right of the plate, cutting edge i'm
ward, and beyond this the spoon for
soup. An outer oyster fork is laid
across the soup spoon or beyond it to
the right, or when canapes are served
instead of oysters small appropriate
fork takes the place OF the oyster fork.
To the left of the cover the forks are
disposed in like order-that is, the one
TO be used first being furthest from the
plate. Forks for additional entrees and
the forks and spoons needed for dessert
service are passed when needed. The
napkin is laid TO the left of the forks,
roll of bread showing between the
folds. The water glass stands nearly in

front of the plate. Next to it is the
glass for charged water. Near the tip
Of the soup spoon is the glass for
sauterne and the sherry glass between
the three, forming a semi-circle. The
glasses for champagne and burgundy,
to accompany the roast and game, re-
spectively, sit to the rear of the first
named glasses, forming a second semi
circle, with the sauterne glass first in
the circle. The floral decorationsSRnd
the candelabra or candlesticks are
placed symetrically upon the table, and
salt and pepper cups and spoons are
placed between each two covers. This
form has almost supplsnted the Eng
lish style of serving the dinner from
the table. In tea service also the Rus
sian form is gaining in fashionable
favor.

considered dishes too rare for common
palates. This fact probably caused
Shakespeare to say: "'Twas cayiare to
the general" From Beaumont and
Fletcher we have this advice to young
lady that she might be mistaken for
PERSON of highest fashion:
Laugh wide and loud, and vary;
A smile is for n simp'ring novice,
One that ne'er tasted caviary
Nor knows the smack of dear an
chovies.
A character in Blount's "Observs-
tions" says;
"Thou dost not know the sweets Of
getting wealth"
To which the reply is made:
"Nor thou the pleasure that take
in spending it, to feed on caviar and
anchovies."
Ben Johnson and other writer's make
similar illusions TO the two long famed
epicurean dishes.

as their daily bread, This was en-
phatically demonstrated during the last
few weeks, when, in the mid-t of the
war excitement in Paris, number of
the citizens found time to open salon
for child painters--thc most remarka-
bic salon ever opened in the French
capital.
The exhibition was limited to the un-
aided work Of children under twelve
years # age. 1t was opened in the
gallery of Charles Nl2pel, in the Rue
Montague, opposite and hardly
stones throw from the Grand Salon of
tn, Artistes Francois in the Champs
Elysees.

EXCELS IN COOKING

mention must be given to It's peculiar
white sauce, a thick, pungent, pure
crcam-it would be 'sacrilcge to call it
sour-which is used both in serving
and in cooking. 1t is called smetana.
This. with horseradish sauce, is served
with the famous Moscow sucking pig
and white boiled beef.
Soups, giant crayfsh, fresh water
fish, tea and wild game sausage rank
high among Russian epicurean delights.
The sturgeon makes its appearance in
some form on most menus, and so does
the daintier sterlet, a most deliciously
favored fish, usually cooked in white
wine sauce. 1t is from the sterlet that
the finest grade of caviar is obtained.
Roast mutton stuffed with buckwheat
is Russian delight. Then there are
little rolled strips of mutton, with
force meat inside, fried in butter, and
called srazis. A distinctive Russian
fish dish is a pie of successive layers
of rice, eggs and fish, something like
the English kedgeree. A favorite fruit
is the mangosteen, about the size of a
small apple, brought from the East
Indies.
Caviar and anchovies, both indis-
pensable to the Russian spread, are

The style Is even more impressionistie
than her fathers, and the picture
clearly shows his art influence. Critics
agreed that the work is remarkably
good for child so young, and it was
awarded the second prize. Moreover,
it gained the~further distinction Of be-

what the flowers are the critics are
unable to say. The work undoubtedly
belongs to the school of Matisse. How
ever, the critics agree that the cOlorins

effective in its blending of colors, and
the work is a masterpiece for a child.

Maurice Malpel, the youthful sons Of
the patron and originator Of the salon.
While, as it has been stated, most Of
the exhibitors are the children Of IA
nous artists, there are one or two ex-
ceptions. Among them the star is
Paul Raynerie, eleven years old, the
son of Paris janitor.
Janitor's Son q Genius.
The critics proclaim him child
genius, giving the highest praise to the
harmony Of colorS and composition of
his work, and comparing it with that
of the customs officer, Noussesu, also
untaught, who ten years ago was de-
spiscd and starving, and now, after his
death, is recognized as a master, his
pictures having sold for thousands Of
dollars.
Young Raynerie's first artistic ef-
orts were lifesize chalk sketches Of
animals on pavements. He thus at
tracted the attention of a pssserby,
Paul Bornet, president of the new So
ciety for the resuscitatiOn Of the art Of
wood engraving.
NJ. Bornet, astonished at the child's
talent, suggested a course of lessons,
but the boy utterly. refused to listen to
his advice, saying:

pictures see in my head? You are
unable even to know my colors."

Their Preliminary Appetizers.
Before dinner or luncheon the hotel
and restaurant patrons make a pre-
liminary meal from the Zabouska buf-
fct. The same practice prevails at
nome dinner parties, but not at other
times, as is enormously supposed. The
Iabouska buffet of Russia corresponds
to the Smorgasbord Of Sweden, but it
is spread with a wonderful variety OF
spiced and picked dishes, which the
diners eat standing or as they stroll
about the room. SDiced cells, stuffed
crayfsh, stuffed Chill peppers, olives,
minced red cabbage, smoked goosefiesh,
smoked sturgeon, smoked salmon, raw
herring, picked mushrooms, radishes.
caviar, potatoes and celery are the
principal dishes found on the Zabouska
buffet. Always they are accompanied
by goodly array of liqueurs, includ
ing the indispensable vodka. At home
functions iced red kvass is served in a
large decanter, placed on the table for
all to help themselves.

cept France in the preparation Of
soups, but theirs are so different from

the French soups that it is unjust to
compare them. Borcht and RossolinE
are the two Russian soups best known
outside Of the Cars country, but they
are only two of the twoscore that arc
equally delicious. The sharp cream
smetana-which figures so prominently
in Russian cuisine, and scha, or spin
ach broth, are the basic ingredients
of both Borcht and Rossolink. In the
latter cucumber juice, parsley and
celery are added in delightfully."- pleas
ing combination. 0kroshha and BATH
rennia are delicious soups, that are
served ice cold. Selisnka is an espe-
cially delicate soup, made from Stur-
geon and sterlet. Ukta is another de-
lightful fish soup.
All the best of the soups are Of
peasant origin, and obtain their dis
tinctive favors from roots, berries and
nuts. The Russian moujik, when he
first stirred some pungent cream into
his scha, little dreamed, no doubt, that
from this raw idea would evolve the
majestic Borcht and it's kindred soups.
A peculiar Russian custom is to
serve with the soup little pasties.
Sometimes they are put into the liquid
and beaten into pieces. Sometimes they
are eaten separately. Of all sizes,
shapes and kinds are these pasties, or
pates, ranging from a scrap Of paste,
enveloping one or two shrimps, to the
somewhat elaborate Tartelettes st. HUI
bert, or the Rastegai, which is almost
the size Of fish pie. The Rastegai is
circular casing Of very light paste,
containing a complicated FISH stufing,
a little round hole being left in the
top of the pate, into which the gourmet
places some fresh caviar before eating.
A Rastegai is usually cut into four
pieces, and makes four exquisite
mouthfuls.
The national bread Of Russia is made
of rye, tough and sour, not unlike the
German black bread, but. since wheat
has become so plentiful. white bread
is rapidly taking its place.
Blinis holds first place among the
ceremonial foods. They are eaten all
over Russia, from the most humble
peasant home to the Winter Palace.
But only in one week are they to be
had-Carnival week, the period proceed
ing Lent They are nothing more or
less than buckwheat cakes, made ey-
actly as the Americans make them, ex-
cepting that they are entirely of buck
wheat. and are perhaps a little larger
than the average American cake. They
are eaten with hot melted butter, the
thick, sour cream (smetana), and fresh
caviar more elaborate form has
onions, carrots and whitebait baked
into the paste. Twice a day during
carnival week the blinis, in one form
or another, are devoured by all the

lines and a naive richness in color
reminiscent Of Paul Gaugin, Van Gogh
or the medieval Italian primitiyes.
Raynerie's best picture is a street
car, which displays great vigor in the
sense Of movement. He also exhibits
a realistic scene of cliff, rising sheer
from the waves, although he has never
visited the seaside.
Altogether, the salon for child paint
ers has offered Parisians much dyer
sion and amusement at time when
anything which would bring about these
results was very badly needed.

New York. June 26.-what to do
with George W. Perkins is a question
that is Just now greatly agitating pro-
gressive leaders. Mr.. Perkins is chair
man of the executive committee OF the
new party. He has labored hard in the
party's behalf and has contributed
heavily TO it's war chest.
The objection to Mr.. Perkins, as
voiced By the Pinchot brothers. Amos
and GifIord. is that at one time he
was associated with ]. p. Morgan
and was identified with some OF the
biggest business institutions in the
country. including the International
Harvester company. Their IS an antip-
athy on the part OF many voters to-
ward all persons who have at any time
done business in Wall street Mr.. Per
IIins has severed all his connections
with Wall street. but the stigma still
cIings to him, the Pinchots believe.
Several progressive leaders in the
east, including former Governor
George l.. Record OF New Jersey. say
that Mr.. Perkins ought to retire.
Recently a number OF Illinois bull
moose voiced the same sentiment.
They declared that PERKINS presence
in party councils has a tendency TO
drive away some voters.
Friends of Perkins say that the |
OF voters who would thus be
driven away is very small; that |
every party. including the socialists. |
has it's millionaire hackers; that /
there are more Wall street men in
either Of the old parties than there
are in the progressive organization.
Clifford PinchOt. Intimate friend of
Roosevelt and bull moose sensational
nominee in Pennsylvania, recently I
said that in his present office Mr..
Perkins was burden which the pro-
yressives should not be compelled to (
