or overwhelming happiness.
Lover Brought to Trial"
Now this king had a daughter who
was the apple of her fathers eye
But the princess had an eye for the
youths of the court. One Of them
was especially handsome, and the
princess and this commoner had a
love affair. All went along well un-
til the king heard Of it. Then the
youth was brought to trial, to de-
termine whether he was guilty or
not in daring to love princess Of
royal blood.
The day came. The tiers of seats
were filled to the top row of the
arena The whole city knew Of
the royal love affair and every one
had come to see the trial.
Presently the door opened into the
arena and the youth walked into the
vast circle All the spectators
sighed, for he was indeed a hand
some young man and worthy of a
princess affection. He looked quick
ly toward the royal box, caught the
eye of the princess and knew in the
fash of an eye that she knew which
door led to the tiger and which to
the lady. He waited for some sign.
With an impatient gesture, imper-
ceptible except to the eyes of her
lover, the princess brushed her right
hand toward the right.
What Happened?
With no faltering, the youth
walked toward the right door and
opened it. The decision of the prin-
cess was given to her lover swiftly
and with no indecision.
But it had not been reached so
easily. Night after night she had
awakened hearing the sounds of his
shrieks when the tiger hurled him
self through the air upon his victim.
But night after night she had been
agonized with jealousy and despair
when she thought of her lover wed
to another woman. Anger and rage
would descend to tear her very soul.
So the princess had endured great
agony of mind to reach her decision.
Frank Stockton, author of this
story, finishes his narrative thus:
THE question of her decision is one
not to be lightly considered, and it
is not for me to presume to set up
myself as the one person able to
answer it. So leave it with all of
you: Which came out of the opened
door-the lady or the tiger?"

intolerance Of certain proteins.
Even when the offending foods are
fruits and vegetables. it is the pro
tein that is responsible. 1t has
been suggested that the sensitiza-
tion results because at some pre-
vious time, an unsplit or undi-
gested protein in some way passed
through the membranes lining the
digestive tract and entered the
blood stream. This acted very
much like foreign substance and
sensitized body cells in some way
so that whenever the same food is
eaten, the disturbing symptoms
occur as a sort of defense mechan-
ism.

Questions Answered

Mrs. A. Nj. T.-The notion that
onions or lettuce contain opium or
some other narcotic drug is wholly
without foundation. They are two
of our finest vegetables.
Mrs. A. F. 1.-THE caloric value
of fresh or canned mushrooms is
very slight, as their carbohydrate
is in a form that cannot be readily
assimilated. They are useful,
however, for adding favor and ap-
petite appeal to many dishes.

0THE LADY OR THE TIGER,

story Of olden days, when semi
barbaric king in a far land held ab-
solute power over his subjects. This
monarch had devised system Of
justice that pleased him nightly.
Instead Of all the bother of trials
that the modern world struggles un-
der. he had an arena where all
trials took place.
The defendant was put into the
arena facing two doors. At a signal
he opened one Of the doors. Each
door led into a chamber, heavily

Don't Jump 10 Conclusions

Don't Jump to Conclusions
1t must be borne in mind that
many of the symptoms produced
by food senSitivity may also result
from other causes. For this rea-
son, it is unwiSe to decide that one
is allergic without due investiga-
ton. Nor must the imagination or
the current widespread discussion
of the subject be allowed to cause
adults or children to mask their
unwillingnesS to eat certain foods
with the false notion that they are
unduly sensitive.
On the other hand, homemakers
should be sympathetic with both
children and adults who say with
good cause, 81 can't eat thatl"
And it would appear that there
may even be some compensation
in this unpleasant situation. For
a group of scientists who have
studied the subject announced
few years ago that those who be-
long to the allergy group appear
to have a definite capacity for be-
coming Intellectually superior.
Thus, the child who suffers from
skin rash or stuffy nose today,
due to food sensitivity, is apt to be
full of energy when he reaches
manhood and exhibit unusual abil-
ity for cultural leadership.

would not be used in the celebra-

SAY COUNTESS MAY
SEEK TO RENEW HER
CITIZENSHIP In u. S.

with Mitchell, informants said, the
countess visited Bow Street police
court. -,
At Bow Street, informants said,
Magistrate r. w. Fry issued a
warrant under which the count, II
he arrived in this country, would
be compelled to go to the ponce
court at once. :,
The warrant was not criminal
one. The intention was, according
to informants, to issue restrain
ing order against the count II ne
came to Great Britain. This would
forbid him to interfere with the
countess or their child, it was said.
Informants added that the mag
istrate, if the count faced him,
would point out to him that the
restraining order was merely a
civil issue but that if he disregard
ed it he might be subject to arrest
on a specific charge.
The countess conferred with her
attornev this morning at her resi-
dence, Winfield house, in Regents
park. A strong guard was. still
maintained at the gates to the
grounds and inside.
Prince Frederick of Prussia, 70
year-old grandson Of the former
German kaiser, took occasion to,
day to deny that he had received
any threats from France, that he
had discussed any such threats
with Scotland Yard, or that he
was in any way involved in al
fairs of the Haugwitz-Reventlow
family.
At his offices in the United Pot
ash company in the financial dis
trict, the prince laughed in dis
missing reports published about
him. He said that he met, the
count and countess socially only
within the last month. He said
that he had seen the countess
three times in all, that both she
and the count were very charm
ing but that his acquaintance with
them was only Slight. He added
that any mention of his name IN
connection with them was absurd
and that he, was sorry if he had
been the cause of any embarrass-
ment to them.
Reports that the countess con-
sidered seeking American citizen
ship were new development.
ONLY last December the coun-
tess renowned her American citl-
zenship absolutely and entirely"
and "abjured all allegiance and
fidelity to the United States" She
wanted to straighten out various
legal complications" by taking the
Danish nationality of her husband,
it was explained. then.
1t was understood that the
complications" had to deal with
her 40,0O0,000 Woolworth S and
10 cent store fortune.
But today, the Daily Express
reported that the countess had
made tentative inquiries regard
ing the possibility of regaining
her American citizenship.
1t seemed that new complica-
tions which had arisen-over the
fortune and the future of Lance,
the two-year-old son of the count
and countess-had impelled the
countess to wonder whether the
complications attaching to her
American citizenship were so bur-
densome after all.
