A Stealthy Growth.
Miss Whitcher decided that mere
lack Of funds should not deter her, so
she began q systematic plan of sppro-
priation First she took over three
times the floor space she needed for
her department files, and was sweetly
otlivious TO adverse comments made
upon the fact Next municipal store
room was ruided for tables, chairs and
sample utensils that were originally
intended for other uses OF the Board
Of Health. Then she built a kitchen
and a rest room at opposite corners
Of the big room. An unused icebox
was borrowed from a milk station; and
Nj Osborne's boys" in Sing Sing con-
tributed a few chairs and tables.
And so, like Peter Finney's turnip,
II grew and grew" until the result was
most astonishing. No one realized
what was going on behind the rows Of
files until one day they were all turned
about and made to form the outer wall
Of the lunchroom, thus saving the price
Of department partitions.
The sun now shines on a most agree
able scene through the daintily cur
tanned windows. The tables scattered
about the room seat four persons and
have bunch OF flowers IN the centre Of
each. Potted ferns give homelke
appearance 10 the room and a phono-
graph supplies music during luncheon
and for dancing sfterward. The ktch-
en-, though small. is well equipped and
IS run on a cafeteria basis. Opposite
the kitchen Is the pretty rest room,
which is furnished with easv chairs
and eouches and the many delightful
articles that make FOR comfort and
ease. Al! Of Miss Whitcher's plans

get ordinarily in the places where they
take their luncheons
kindergarten of Food Education.
The dominant thought In the estab-
fishing of this lunchroom, which feeds
It's patrons well at small prices, Is of
course an educational one. DR..
Charles E. Bolduan. director Of the
Bureau Of Health Education, says: "Of
the more than 300 employees in the
building, many Of them know no more
of food values than the average city
dweller; many OF the girls are IN
doubtedly destined TO be future house
wives and mothers who will market
and provide for their own homes. and II
we are doing our educational work
properly certainly no one should know
more Of such matters than our own
employees"
Thus the food table used IN conn.c-
ton with the menu Is the kindergar-
ten text Of this unique form of food
education.
without question the average person
eats far more food than the body re-.
quires simply because IL tastes good.
Thus he dooms himself 70 walk the
earth clad in a suit OF tallow. without
which he would look and feel nucb
better, and time and money and some
times health are expended in the ef-
fort to reduce TO normal condition
once one is tired OF carrying around
the extra burden.
Miss Whitcher Is planning 10 serve
many new and unusual dishes for sum
mer eating, some meat substitutes that
will, while following the food REQUIRE
ments in furnishing the correct num-
Der Of "heat units" be an agreeable
change from the everyday offerings Of
the ordinary restaurant.
She has certainly demonstrated that
much can be done without funds 10
benefit many people. Perhaps the sue
cess Of her venture may bring forth an
adequate appropriation for the main
tenance OF the lunchroom which should
be the reward for the unselfsh labor
she has so willingly bestowed on its
ests blishment

Dear Bah: They tell me that yester-
day was a great day, that II was war
and that I should have felt tremendous
things. II was al curious and unbe-
lievable. We had set out for the Ser
bian trenches when Captain Sharonitch,
who has a rule in life that Ladies are
delicate and must rest" insisted on our
stopping at the press bureau before the
long jaunt outside the city. There were
four of US, and he had taken me to
the roof, in which there was an OBJ
servers hole, TO point out the posi-
lions of the Serbian and Austrian guns.

"He was passing in the street around

evergreen garden was very quiet We
