president of one of their societies he is
ready with name and a motto.
In the discovery of ingenious and sig
nificant notices he is as accomplished
as scholar Of the Renaissance. His
latest is What / give I possess" and
really 1t describes the man we'll; :;
thought for every one, dedication for
every friend, a memory for all who pass
through his life. At a recent program
of recitations given by Duse at Rome
some flowers reached him without the
sender's card; he was more stirred by
this anonymous gift than by any of the
others; 1t was tribute to that Gabrielle
d'Annunzio who had not forgotten the
fight waged in the interests of art so
many years ago in that same city.
For awhile 1t was rumored that the
poet had become cocaine fiend. 1t was
a mere myth, and stupid one. Dan
nunzio Is still an energetic and active
man, intent on not letting himself be
caught by any human weakness. He keeps
to his custom of never drinking wine at
meals save on exceptional ccasions, as,
for instance, when he celebrated his ter
mination of "Notturno" with a display of
fireworks in the garden: few glasses of
wine formed part of this fiesta"
Like any other man of letters he takes
pride in his discoveries of apt phrases;
he has more than once reminded his
friends of that Count Matteo Maria Boiar-
do who had all the chimes of the monas-
terry rung when he hit upon a satisfac-
tory name for the hero of his poem. OR
lando Inamorata." No; he Is still pow
erful human engine, capable of working
his brain hour after hour; and just as
capable of long continued physical exer-
ton without the slightest trace of ia
tigue
After the war he took to smoking. And
now he says jestingly that. having been
forced to smoke during the battle of the
Marne by the stencil of the rotting dead,
he does not wish to lose the habit that
was born there, since he has given his
word that he will take an active part in
the next war; he is ready once more to
endure the distress and discomforts of
those CHASTITY moments which drove him
to smoking.
The poet has moved now from the villa
placed at his disposal by an admirer to
one of his own, a villa which was for
merly wagner's, and which through the
care of a German has been kept just as
Wagner left 1t, after living there with
handsome, viewed from without, but 1t
is full of the memories of human great
ness and love-
"Cargnacco"-it is just above Gardone
Rivera-is the name OF Gabrielle dan
nunzio's house. At the back is a tree
shaded path. 1t is an old villa; it's cell
the home OF parish priest; of rough
white plaster, with green blinds, and a
narrow door between two stone columns
once embossed and now we'll worn, two
iron grated windows, one on either side Of
the door, and on the second story a mar
row little iron balcony from which It
would be quite as impossible to harangue
a crowd as It would be to get more than
fifty people in the little square in front
of It. The poets name for his house is
La Porziuncola," as Saint Francis called
the little church that he built; or some
times, in jest, he calls 1t "the vicarage."
AS matter of fact, when its facade was

a piece of plaster which only last night
fell from the ceiling to his pillow without
touching him. He is always in motion,
quick and agile, most carefully dressed,
his left shoulder little lower than his
right, partly from habit. partly because Of
so many hours spent at the writing table;
he talks and laughs with that clear voice,
and that ringing laugh which remain
young no matter how many years go by
and communicate their youth to whoever
hears them. You are the last Italian to

to him; "the rest of us are older when we

CLAUSURA, SILENTIUM.

+: CLAUSURA, SILENTIUM /:
But within there is different house,
warm as an oven, sweet with sandal
wood, padded with carpets. guarded by
: hangings and curtains 1t Is not so
much the luxuriousness of this interior
tempt to escape from noise, from cold,
from heat, from strangers and from
politics; all this is in defense Of his
work, of his books, of his liberty, of his
memories
This Is the first house he has ever
bought-that is to say, with deed of
sale recorded In the village register; and
he is surrounding it with walls, fences,
ratings, all kinds of entanelements, like
true graduate of French warfare. First
he built chicken coop for some black
roosters and white hens sent down from
as the phrases Of popular song writer;
a model chicken run, surrounded by a
wire netting, in good repair, and airy,
with wooden coops on a cement floor.
He hasn't neglected the garden and the
vineyard. (His gardeners name, we
must not forget, is Virgil.) The garden,
to the right of the house, is very large,
but is still too thickly planted to show to
advantage, having been arranged ac-
cording to German taste by the former
proprietor, but 1t has fine expresses, frs,
oaks and laurel trees, and a charming
grove of magnolias, in whose shade dwells
a liquid voiced nightingale. Terraces
lead the way down to the lake, and they
are SO arranged that the view opens out
on Mount Baldo of the hundred red sum-
mits, shining blue and white across the
water; to the left in the open lake is the
Borghese Isle and Manerba Point, with
it's profile Of Dante.
Behind the house the garden trans
forms itself into a park, wood, and
catches a little stream with waterfalls in
its ravine, which, delightful and romantic
as 1t is, is nevertheless a menace to the
old house. A wind storm blew down two
large trees on its banks a while ago, and
the earth began to crumble. Before long
the house would have had no support
under one corner. In great haste Dan
nunzio put in props and braces, and had
a hundred beeches taken out OF the
crumbling bank so as to be able to put

~ ABRIELE D'ANNUNZIo for his
second Fiuman adventure did
not take the trouble to leave that
quiet hermitage of his, which might we'll
be called, like certain old abbey on the
Florentine hills, Pleasant Solace." He
has even gone so far as to write to his
legionaries that he felt it incumbent upon
him to accept the Treaty of Rapallo, and
he has scornfully rejected The advances
of the Fascist, who would have been
quite willing to nominate him as Presi-
dent of the Italian Republic, calling them
"agrarian slaves, by which he meant
beck and call of the landed proprie-
tors. Well, what does all this
dignity signify? Can it mean "A
that the poet has lost his xsS2S
taste for adventure? >xa
Certainly any onewho x~NSS ~
thinks that d'Annunzio
is likely to try this M ysS4|s1l
particular adventure
again shows little
knowledge of the
poets character. When
the author of I'll Fuoco" has
closed a chapter of his life he
never opens it again at the page
already written. Whoever looks upon
himself as the center of the world around
him need make no effort to hasten the
events of which he must inevitably be a
part. Henceforth D'Annunzio is taken up
with another chapter, one of love for
green gardens and quietness; his recent
past, as he put it to his publisher few
days after he left Fiume, is to him now
nothing but "a youthful adventure"
And yet the weight of this adventure
still oppresses the poet, and he would like
to free himself of it, Numerous are the
door, hermetically sealed and well
guarded by faithful servants though it is.
They come to ask I'll Commandante" to
free them from the oath they have taken
to wait for the Hour" with a capitaD
and to request the financial assistance
which the poet, who has also the liberal
handed ways of nobleman of the good
old times, always gives them.
OF his bold and faithful followers only
a few, the most devoted, remain, Dante,
Virgil and Livy-the names are, by an
4 ol,o xr-1 Of
his gardener, doorkeeper and secretary;
and all of them faithful to death and be-
yond intent now on protecting their
leader from the assaults of curiosity
and from the insidious pfottings of his
admirers, male and female. Among these
plots figures one not devoid of the ro-<
mantle. 1t is rumored that some of
D'Annunzio's legionaries had planned to
kidnap him. Why? 1t seems that good
many of them cannot become reconciled
to the "Commandantes" withdrawal from
politics and from active life. They are,
moreover, particularly annoyed with the
poets new wife, Baccara, the pianist
whom they accuse of keeping the poet
I'M seclusion and cutting him off from his
old companions. At any rate the Com
mittee of Public Safety had to take the
matter in hand and institute protective
measures to insure the poets liberty.

In an adjoining room typist trans
cribes the cards on which D'Annunzio has
traced few words in large letters; in
another room the French translator is
already at work. The French edition of
"Notturno" appeared simultaneously with
the italian.
In spite of all this the poet has word
for everybody. He is really grand
sejgneur. Just as he accepts everything
that is offered to him personally, from
the lady who throws herself at his feet
to the present offered by simple ad-

stirring. The eggs must be beaten
SO long that the yolks are thick
and the whites stiff enough to be
inverted. The flour must be well
sifted, even four or six times, 50
that the particles are separate.
In general, beat yolks thick and
gradually add the sugar. Then
the flavoring and half of the flour
carefully folded in to the beaten
yolks. Then add half Of the stiff
whites, the remainder Of the flour
and last half of the whites. The
whole knack lies in combining the
flour and eggs in such a way as to
include the most air until the mix
ture is . delicate, fluffy mass. It
must then be turned at once into
an oven Of the right temperature
and should not be moved or shaken
for the first fifteen minutes.
In baking, the size of the cake
has much to do with the tempera-
ture of the oven, the larger the
cake the longer, it will have to be
baked. It must not crust over
until it has risen to the proper
height. A layer cake bakes In is
to 20 minutes; in a loaf from 40
minutes to 2 hours. The cake
should rise to its full height in the
first quarter of its total baking
time. That is, cake requiring 20
minutes to bake should be CUP" in
5 minutes, and so on. During this
quarter period the cake should not
brown, merely rise. During the
second quarter it should partially
brown, then brown completely in
the third period. The heat should
be reduced during the last half Of
its time in the oven.
It follows then that small cook
les, dropcakes and simple layers
should be cooked a short period in
q hot oven, while loaf or heavy
cakes should be baked in a med
ium oven for a'long period. 1t is
Just as important to know how to
manage thesoven and temperatures
as it is to make a good mixture.
If the oven is not hot enough at
the beginning the cake will fall,
if too hot it will crust over before
it rises. Controlled temperature is
wonderful because it makes baking
accurate. Most of the new gas
ranges have heat regulator, and
the housewife should practice u.s.
ing such accurate heat control.
Now for a word about butter
mixtures. Here we have the addi-
tion of fat, such as butter or short

step is to blend the shortening and

is always best to separate yolks

yolks to the sugar and butter, then
adding the. sifted flour and last

ant. 1t is not possible to make
fluffy cake with the average bread
flour, which has q high amount Of
gluten. Always use pastry flour
for all cake making. Or use from
u to q cup Of cornstarch with
regular bread -four, as this is drier
and makes q more fluffy mixture.
The pan in which sponge cake
is baked does not need to be but
tered or Toured or lined. But for
a butter mixture the pan should be
lined carefully with paraffin paper
such as bread is wrapped in, and
this paper buttered thoroughly.
There are excellent types of cake
pans on the market which have
metal upright piece on which they
can be inverted to stand and cool.
This makes the cake lighter and
avoids the difficulty of removing
the cake when 1t is hot and likely
to break.
While there are thousands of
cake recipes, most Of them are
