wholesale way, you might say.
 .'In the present position I am in. of course, it requires a stupendous amount of food to supply the demand. To be able to reckon on five cases of eggs to be cooked each day; 75 pounds of chicken; 100 pounds of steak; 100 more pounds of beef roast; 450 pounds of Irish potatoes; 150 pounds of sweet potatoes. all of which l buy and then watch from the time the food is put into the stove until it goes into the steam warmers.
 Buying is the most important thing. of course. in any business per taining to feeding people; judicious buying is the keynote; the best is always the policy to pursue; It doesn't pay to buy cheap food stuffs; it neither pleases the buyer or the person to whom 1t is consigned for lunch or dinner and one dissatisfied customer can do more to make place unpopular than anything elcs in the world.
 "A knowledge of foods. relative values, is perhaps the most impor tant thing for any one in my posi- ton to know next to knowing how to buy. By that. I mean the proper combinations of foods, acids and sweet milk for instance, do not mix as we all know; one eurdles the other: the proper vegetable combina- tions with meats and salads which go properly with these combinations, and then deserts"
 All of this is science and an art, as is plainly seen from what Mrs. Saunders says. and like matrimony. must not be entered into lightly. but "reverontly. disereetly and adVisedly,' Tt is amusing" Mrs. Saunders sand. how many people ask to see me and who are so kind as to want to thank me for the good food we provide. So much so, that I have been re- quested to make my appearance for an hour in the dining room every day. which reminds me that some of my clientele have given me the name of Mother Britling.'
 "Still another amusing title is MT Britiing's wife. all of which bring bit of huor and human nature intc my work which is welcomed cordial ly. Indeed. I get the greatest pleas cure out of every dish I prepare, and there is never a day that I don't in vent or create a new dish; just as the fashionable designer takes a bit of lace and ribbon and flowers and makes a wonderful gown or bonnet, so a pinch of salt and paprika, and olive oil makes a new dressing; or I devise a new pie. or my little cakes. which I pride myself on, take on a new flavor"
 This very pride which Mrs. Saun- ders feels in her work is what de- lights my soul to write about her success "a lady" of the old school" who carries her grace into her every day services. proudly, but then she Is too much of real woman at the same time not to.

 This is the definition contained in Mir Noah Websters big Unabridged Diction. of which Mark Twain's miner declared twas a good book, but it lacked plot
 It is also the definition of Mrs. Eliz- abeth Saunders who presides over the culinary departmet at Britling's No. 2, and who Is only too seldom seen by the large clientele of this popular rem dezvous. Yet 1t Is to her skill in buy ing and her keen judgment in arrang- in gmenus that the public is indebted for the excellent food served there.
 The word Lady and fAristocrat" and Elegant and Refined" run riot in your mind as you talk with Mrs. Saunders, her handsome figure and gracious manner qualifying the at tributes that I have laid at her boor.
 Incidentally, I may say the word lady" which l adore. even in spite of the commo vernacular. woman" being substituted so largely for it in modern times, is a definition which fits not only Mrs. Saunders. but many of those clever, capable, hard working, quick thinking, blue served women in the business world of today who have proven themselves equal to earning between s5.000 and s10,000 a year.
 And I arise to remark, being one of the number of the inhabitants of this selfsame business world, that some tibmes 1t is a crue lold world, more often dizbzy, always "devil-take the hindmost," and going steadily at the rate of mile minute~
