And that In the good old times before
the World War sent the prices to the
skyline? Right here In this city, too!
"In those beloved days when we, of
the run of the mill, were paying a
nickel a slice for the finest sort of
pastry, Chamberlain. whose old estab'
lishment on Fifteenth street. across
from the Shoreham. was famous the
world over. was charging 81 for every
slice of pie the menus provided.
Made by French chef, specially
imported for that exclusive luxury?
Not at all. Made by an old colored
nanny cook, whose fame as a pie
maker passed from her own white
family to the big provider for the
rich. and who, in the course Of her
long service, proved literally her
weight in gold to Chamberlain"
This genius, incidentally, must have
been twin to that other colored pie
maker. in the home of a baker who
made lot of money before he gave
up this world for a better one. The
baker enjoyed his pies, and the fam
ilv, in sympathy with a certain charit-
able benefit in which the cook was in
terested. persuaded him to put few
of the pies on sale to help her contri-
button along. And every one who
bought pie ordered another. And
the success proved so great and so
far-reaching that the baker capital
ICED his kitchen genius and made a
fortune for himself-and maybe for
her, though that isn't in the story.
But, anyhow, after he had made rolls
a secondary consideration and his pie
wagons reaped him a golden harvest
day in and day out, the good old cook
died. And when people found out
that a new pie maker was on the job
he had to go back to making bread.

"Do gnats and locusts enjoy i'm

"Is it disgraceful to aeach defense

"Are all antique benches made of

Should one always be censored FOR

Dressed as an artisan and carrying

Dog breeders say there are no more
than about 80 absolutely thorough

although half and mixed breeds are
common enough.
Pugs were fashionable 40 years ago,
but no attempts were made to keep
the breed pure. Now pedigree pug
owners are getting together to see
what can be done to meet the new
demand. For the present, French
pugs are commanding from $100 to
