Not infrequently here among the
seven million there Is a happening
that causes a chill despite the heat.
For instance, the experience OF a
young man who hailed a taxicab
and asked to be driven to the One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
New Haven station, his intention
being to go to Marmaroneck. The
cab had gone only few blocks
when 1t stopped and two men
sprang out OF the shadows and held
up the passenger. They took his
watch and wallet and disappeared.
That was bad enough. But the driv-
er Immediately demanded his fare
and when 1t was not forthcoming,
beat up the passenger
A patrolman finally arrived and
the passenger told his story. The
driver denied 1t, saying that the
trouble had been caused because
the passenger had refused to pay
his fare. The officer took the drlv-

man off to a police station where
he was held for two days before
his brother-in-law finally found him.
The matter is not yet ended, how
ever. The brother-in-law is a men,
Der of a prominent law firm, so an
investigation is in progress.
Since the taxicabs have been un-
der the control of the police, the
gyps and crooks have been greatly
reduced in numbers. In fact, in the
years I've been riding around New
York in taxis. I've had just one
untoward experience. One night the

low is Chef Theophile's recipe for Compete De Pommes, and for an equally delicious pineapple com- pote.
 Compete De Pommes
 Peel tart eating apples, whole. Place in saucepan with water, su- gar and little vanilla. Poach the apples until soft but not so long that they will begin to lose their shape. When done place each apy pie on an individual serving dish to cool. Add sugar and a little green vegetable coloring matter to the liquid. But until sufficiently reduced to make a syrup. Pour over apples and let cool. Garnish with a maraschino cherry placed on few mint leaves in the hollow of the apple.
 Pineapple Bavarois
 Put Tn a bowl one pint of pine apple pulp strained through a tammy. Mix in a half pound pow dered sugar. Add to this prepara- tion the strained juice of two oranges. Put a small quantity of ice according to the solidity of the mixture Git must be rather thick than otherwise). Pour into small pan, and thicken on ice while stir ring. As soon as it has acquired the consistency of thick, smooth sauce, take it off and add to it g pint and a half of firm and well drained whipped cream. Use this preparation either to fill a jelly mold or a plain cylindrical mold incrusted in chopped ice; cover with a piece of paper and lay in Q deep container; filling 1t with more chopped ice, then leave to harden for one hour. Unmold on a cold dish after depping the mold in hot l water.

From his point of vantage as chef of one of New York's most widely known hostelries, Theophile Kieffer, of the Hotel Sherry -Neth- erland, is accustomed to observe the trend of the times as 1t affects the preparation, serving and en- joyment of food. To-day Chef Theophile believes he observes the first beginnings of a revived Tor mality in dining and a veritable renaissance of the appreciation Of good food.
 That this development appears on the horizon with the repeal Of prohibition may be only a coinci- dence, but Chef Theophile is in- clined to think the return of fine wines and liquors is at least partly responsible. As he argues 1t, the serving of wines involves a time honored ritual which itself sets a keynote of formality for the repast with which it is enjoyed. Similar ly. wine sharpens both the appe- tite and the appreciation of good food. To serve anything but the most appropriate and skillfully prepared foods with fine wines is nothing less than sacrilege. Hence revival of interest in good eat ing. a,
 This revival, he believes, will have Q general effect. It will be apparent not only when and where wine is served with the meal. Like the styles in women's clothing or In home decoration, the trend once set in motion is destined to be- come national in its scope, setting the vogue for every housewife ana hostess who takes pride in the run ming of her home and the planning of her menus.
 American cooks have borrowed largely in the past from France
 justly famed as the home of the culinary arts, but in Chef Theo- phile's opinion there Is still an1- ple opportunity to improve our menus through profiting by the ex- ample of Gallic cookery. He points out, for instance, that in France the fruit compete is practically national dish, one of the most I'm. portant features of the meal, but that in this country we have little understanding of what culinary masterpieces can be achieved With what are essentially nothing more than skillfully prepared fruits.
 Served as a side dish with the main course, Chef Theophile says
