Now what kind of cheese or do we
want cheese?''
A Rich Dessert"
isn't that dessert very rich2"
asked Helen. would we want cheese
with that?'
That's so. zabalon is pretty rich.
All right, wen cut out the cheese.
Just coffee and a cordial"
And the wine, Warren? You'll see
to that?"
'Tll look after the wine. TIL have
a bottle of cocktails mixed at the club.
Can't mix them right here. and the
bottled kind aren't fit to drink Grif-
fin drinks Scotch, and some Sauterne
for you and Mrs. Griffen. Most women
like Sauterne. I'll drink Scotch with
him.
Here Warren rose, threw the en-
ve1ope down on the table, yawned and
stretched.
That's settled. Til stop at the club
this afternoon and order the wine.
You'd better phone about the fresh
caviar this morning. They don't keep
much of that on hand. Better order
it in advance"
When Warren had gone. Helen first
&C pied the menu from the back of
the envelope on to a large sheet OF
paper. leaving room under each dish
to write out the ingredients.
Fresh Caviar.
CLAIMS.
Shad Roe and Bacon.
Crown Roast Rack of Lamb.
Artichoke Vinaigrette.
Zabaloni.
Then, being a very methodica1 little
person, she made out a separate list
of the grocery and the market arti-
cies. And still another list OF the
things she would have to get before
dinner, such as clean silver. wash
doilies. go over the table linen, polish
furniture. polish floor, repot fern, ETC.
To Helen the preparation for a dinner
like this meant not only the dinner
itself, but a general house cleaning as
well. Her apartment was always i'm
maculate, but the company dinner al |
ways meant an extra special clean |
ing. And usually she worked so hard
before the dinner that she was too |
worn out to enjoy IL.
Give them something to eat" was
Warren's policy. Feed them. and en-
terrain them, and they won't care a |
hang about anything else. You wear |
yourself out doing all sorts of fool |
things. and then you're too tired to |
talk to anybody when they do come" |
But he preached this in vain, for al |
ways before they had company Helen |
worked herself almost i'll.
However, they had never had any
one to dinner of such Importance as |
the Griffins. It was through Mr.. Grif- |
fins influence that Warren's Western 1
deal had been successful Now he |
had come on here to form another |
company, and Warren stood a very
excellent chance Of being in on the |
ground floor
So Helen felt that much depended /
upon this dinner. She knew that |
Warren felt that too, for he had /
never before taken the trouble TO
make out a menu or to show any such
interest
He had asked her to call up about
the caviar this morning so now she
got down the telephone book and !
looked up the number. She knew
that Rs was a large and most
exclusive deiicatessen, although she
had never been there.
"Is this Rs when she got the
81 want to see about some
fresh caviar for Thursday"
How much viii you want?" It was
a mans voice. gruff and foreign.
Helen hesitated. How does 1t
come ?"
by the ounce or pound
''Oh. then about a pound How much
will that be p" 4
Twelve dollars a pound
Twelve dollars Helen's voice ex- |,
pressed her amaZement.
Yes, madam. fresh caviar is twelve
dollars a pound. Did you want the L
We can give you the cans
from twenty eight cents up. Il
"Oh, mono. / want the fresh, but
don't know just how much. I'll cali
fou up about IT later
A Shock.
Twelve dollars a pound for fresh
caviar. Surely there must be some
mistake. Warren would never have
ordered anything so expensive
Hurriedly she called him up at the
,ffice and told him the price.
That's all right You don't expect
