1 fly 2 hmrftaihmtairftaihmta How can we furnish the lunches we do for 15 cents?' Mrs. Meriwether repeated my question and answered quickly Because I attend to all the marketing
 myself; because I get the very best cuts of meat, the freshest vegetables, the first
 quality of flour and the finest butter and fresh laid eggs that the market affords and because select everything myself" 'Six o'clock in the morning often finds me at the meat stalls dickering with MT Butcher Man about roasts and chops, the spare ribs and sausage the best he has and never allow something just as good to be given to me. The secret of good l housekeeping is seeing for yourself and | selecting your own table viands.' Then another thing, we use such large quantities at the tea room,' Mrs. Meri- wether continued. that 1t is an advantage in buying, of course. In the first place, we cook q peck of meal at time for our ! bread sticks for luncheon, and there's not a scrap left either. People often tell us l that we have the best corn sticks in town,
 and from the way they are consumed l think it must be true. For our bread sticks for one meal we use two gallons
 of milk, and from one to one and half dozen eggs. We cook a bushel of pota toes at one cooking. These are served either scalloped or creamed, and wo use
 
 of potatoes to make them nice and creamy and palatable. One thing that has been commented on so often is the whiteness of our potatoes. That's because I get what they call 'hotel potatoes;' they are the best in the market and the choicest" When we have beef or lamb roast for luncheon, Mrs. Meriwether told me,
 i've use 35 pounds of meat. If it is chick en, 40 pounds are consumed; for chicken salad a little less-about 25 pounds, should say. Everything else is used in proportion
 And what is the average number of people that such quantities are served each day?" asked
 From 15O to 200 patrons" Mrs. Meri- wether said "Of course, during the hard times this winter our patronage hasn't been what it was this time last year, for then each day we had from 200 to 300 peo- pie for luncheon. We've instituted an in novation recently by allowing the men to lunch with us. and have been greatly fattered at the liberal patronage we have received. Of course. 15-cent lunch doesn't appeal to the average working man, as it does to the woman, because
 he gets a larger salary and has more money to spend on food, but it is aston ishing how the men seem to enjoy our | food and how often they come back once | they've patronzed us. Of course, our | l5-cent lunches may be augmented by the addition of desserts, of which we always have from two to three-pies, cakes, pud- l dings, baked apples; in fact, everything | dainty and nice, or coffee, tea. and milk. | This of course makes a luncheon cost 20 | or 25 cents and our men patrons tell us 1 that nowhere in town can they get such ! lunches for 25 cents as 1they do at the | tea room which pleases me immensely
 because there are lots of nice cafes in

white sw;L, which earns him the
wrath of Gurnemanz, Parsifal appears
and the solemn unyeiling of the Grail
takes place. The words OF the com.
munion service are intoned and Parsi.
fal is invited 70 partake of the bread
end Vine. BY not complying with this
request he loses his opportunity to
relieve the suffering Of Amfortas and
is dismissed by Gurnemanz.
The second act tells of Parsifal in
the magic garden of Klingsor the Wiz
ard, where Kimdry attempts to en-
chant him with her spell.
Klingsor, enraged at her final fail
ure, hurls his spear at Parsifal, but
1t stops poised in the air above his
head. Parsifal, grasping it, makes the
sign of the cross and Klingser and all
his works disappear.
The last act takes the audience to
Good Friday, years afterwards, when
Parsifal, after many troubles, returns
with the sacred spear with which he
heals the gaping wound of Amfortas.
Appropriate music from Wagner,s
wonderful composition will be given in
connection with the drama.
