the exploits of Mrs. Robert Thomp-
son Seton and Mrs. Marshall Field in
their adventure of hunting big game
in the Brazilian jungle. This field ia
much more alluring than the conven-
tiOnal Indian hunts with the retain
ers of rajahs and maharajahs in at
tendance, and the pomp and ceremony
with which these potentates can sur
round such attempts at fame. Mrs.
Seton, who yields a graceful pen and
who is the president of the National
League Of Pen Women, intends to
treat her exploits in the literary way
as we'll as from the lecture stage.
Mrs. Field. who is the daughter of
the late Charles Marshall. has a dis
tinct scientific interest in her journey
and hopes to add considerably to the
trophies of the Field Museum in Chi
cago. Her father has always been
affiliated with the shipping interests
of New England and her grandfather
was among the last of those who sent
out fleets of whalers from Nantucket
and New Bedford. Mass. On her
mothers side Mrs. Field descends
from James LenoX. founder of the
Lenox Library in New York City
Mrs. Field has scores of distinguished
kindred. mainly women-Mrs. Vincent
Astor and Mrs. Samuel Bonarios
Crimson. better known in the art
world as Malvina Hoffman. the sculp-
tress. Mrs. Seton and Mrs. Field are
already far from the outposts of civ
ilization and will remain submerged
in the jungle until next Spring. Part
of their way lies along the River
Divida. or River Of Doubt a tributary
of the Amazon, which caused heated
controversy when the late President
Roosevelt published his first accounts
OF its discovery. 1t has now been
well explored and charted

4. Escouffeur. famous authority on
cooking. has settled any CONTROVERSY
by declaring that "a l'Americaine' Is
correct. This dish. he says. has been
known in Paris since 1860, though
it was not until 1880 that it became
really popular When he was an APP
prentice in a restaurant in Nice in
1860, NJ. Escouffeur says, the principal
dish of lobster with stewed tomatoes
was common. 1t was a cook from
Marseilles that gave it its new name.
He went to America and found 1t
was also the land of Holsters and to-
matoes. AS there were no rock
Holsters in America, such as are
known along the Mediterranean coast,
he prepared the ordinary Holsters to
reproduce the provincial dish, and
gave it the name of "Homard Il
lAmeriCaine" in gratitude for the
success it met.
