NOT ALWAYS EASY TO READ
Stevenson's Manuscript Is Said to
Have Been "Weird."

Robert Louis Stevenson's handwrit-
Ing was fairly legible when he felt
well, although when he was not well
his scrawl was distinctly weird. In
his article on the genesis Of "The
Master of Ballantrae," he speaks of
having been haunted by story "con-
ceived in Highland rain, in the blend
of the smell of heather and bog plants,
and with a mind full of the Athole
correspondence and the memories of
the dumlicide Justice"
Ingenious surmises have been made
as to. the meaning of the last words.
Sir Graham Balfour now explains, &C
cording to the Westminster Gazette,
that after many heads had been
called into consultation he himself
came to the conclusion that it should
read "Chevalier de tombstone" The
Interpretation may be correct, for in
one of Stevenson's papers occurs the
combination 'sbrean." The late James
Murray of the Oxford dictionary asked
Stevenson what it meant. Stevenson
replied that it was misprint for

Spanish Green Olive,
Beet and Potato Salad

A salad bears the same relation
to your dinner as a hat does to
your costume. A piece of half-ripe
tomato dropped carelessly on a leaf
of lettuce and served as salad
will detract from a dinner no mat
ter how attractive and tasty the
remaining courses may be. So
many new yet simple salads are
being composed constantly that
there is no excuse for neglecting
this feature of your dinner. Here
is one that will appeal:
Cut cold boiled potatoes into
cubes and to two cups add one
small onion grated, half pint bot
tie of green olives cut in rings, a
teaspoon of capers, and one picked
beet also cut in rings with small
vegetable cutter. Mix lightly,
taking care not to break the olive
and beet rings, and serve in let
tuce hearts with boiled or French
dressing.

NIX YOU
WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL is DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel
Smithers, Atlantic Coast" and ex-
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zekes address in
letters up in the garnet, maybe a chest
full of 'em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N Y, or Chicago, H., thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is
just as incomplete as was Zeke's ad-
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street in the address. 1t helps you.
