When Chalons was reached. we had
another examination of papers and photo
graphs and passports-I quite fail to see
how any spy could ever reach the French
tiring-llne without detection, so rigorous
is the system!
When Vitry was gained we had to leave
the train and proceed by motorcar. In
the station we underwent one of the most
searching examinations of the journey.
We had to proceed to the Mayors house
and the commissaire de police to be fur
ther examined and get fresh passports.
The little town was guarded by sentinels
at every road!
After an hours investigation we were
released and decided that before pro-
ceeding by car we would walk to a viii
lage, one mile distant, to see the ruins
caused by the last bombardment. Sem
tinels held us up along the dusty high
road and examined our papers carefully.
Any one not in the uniform OF a soldier
Is an object Of strong suspicion in these
parts.

Foulks in the April humber of the South ern Woman's Magazine has full page of recipes and suggestions for making some of the daiutiest and most appetising of spring dishes by the help of this same deep fat kettle.
 Rosette waters and timbale cases are the foundations for the dishes here described, and oys- ters. eggs, creamed chicken or fish, asparagus, green peas. Der. ries and whipped cream. and many other seasonable foods are suggested in a fascinating list of recipes for the perfecting of some of the daintiest of spring menus

THE ORCHARD BEAUTIFUL

would make a picture for you of the orchard as last saw 1t, in full bloom, on one of those rare days which first smiles, as quick ly frowns, th n dashes tears lightly: when the wind gets mer- rily into the game, and blows from peach and plum their dain- ty petals, filling the air with col ors so soft and odors so sweet that you gasp in ectasy, follow ing the volatile beauties of a spring day.
 Someone described to me a gar den in Georgia. The description was beautiful; 1 will tell it to you. A path led from an inner court filled with semi-tropical flowers to a sunken garden, which was reached by descending broad stone steps. Here every kinI of bulb and Towering shrub bloom ed in a riot of color daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, narcissus, with and rows of iris just opening. Vines of jasmine and Southern creepers interlaced the balustrade surrounding the garden, Hav- ing reached its confines, elatpd with SO much beauty, you ascend into a Towering orchard in bloom. Cheery blossoms, waving soft white streamers from standards, stood like spirit sentinels on cit her side of the avenues. Peach trees emerged from masses of pink. sutfusing with color their pale neighbors.s the pear trees. Beyond this fairyland. a wood land in its untouched beauty, in tender greens of a budding spring made a wonderful back ground. Wild flowers were to be found in their native state here. Excotics, Italian formaIities, the fragrance o f orchard, nature pure and simple were all enjoy ed, but the quietude of the lat ter tempted one to drop down on
 he sod and rest. Mrs. Alex
