A CULINARY TREAT, Served In a Little Cake Shop In ' a Little French Town. THE COST WAS LITTLE ALSO. Surprises Came Thick arttl Fast In the Way of Meals, but the Greateet Surpriee of All Came After the Gastronomio Conquest Was Ended. They were talking about dainty dinners when Cue man who goes abroad ■aid, "The best meal I ever got was in the back parlor of a small shop In a ono horse town, and It cost me 50 cents." Urged to tell his story, he continued: “It was in a small provincial French town—Blois. A friend of mine called Bodflsh enticed me there by looking me up in Paris and throwing a tit about the delights of the town. “‘lt has a castie,’ he told me, ‘and a moat and ramparts nnd a little cake shop run by a charming old woman’— “ ‘Enough,’ said I. ‘me for Blois.’ “We went there and we castled and we moated and we ramparted, and then we blew into the little shop to cake. Tho proprietress, a very pleasant old woman, indeed. Introduced us to her son. who was modestly hiding behind his mustache in a cornet “We got Into conversation with him —that Is, Bodflsh and 1 plunged into French and he, diving in heroically after ns, was pulled under In our drowning struggles. The npshot of It all was that we agreed to hire a room In his mother’s bouse for the night—we meant to stay just one night in Blois. “ ’And—er—dinner? asked Bodflsh. “Ts the messieurs will permit I will do myself the honor of cooking them a dinner, ’ said tho cake lady’s son bowing most courteously. "Thereupon Bodflsh nnd I wont blithely to an attic 518 years old at a conservative estimate, washed the casGe and the moat and the ramparts from our hands and faces nnd descended to the dining room, a small apartment in the rear of madame’s cake shop. “Our landlady's son was there, ready for ns. So was a soup. ’That was, by actual count, the grandest soup ever produced by a human being. I have traveled ail over the world, tasting the best every country has to offer in the way of soup, but at the first taste of that Blois sample all my memories of other soups hud died together In a dark corner of my mind and froze to death. “I looked at Bodflsh. He was positively half witted with delight He looked as If he wanted to spend the rest of his life as high priest In a temple devoted to the worship—and manufac-lure-of that sonp. “’More, messieurs?* “Between us we razed that aoup to the ground. "’Entree, messieurs? "Don’t ask me what that entree was. Bodflsh ate It with his eye* shut and his head bowed reverently. “Bodflsh and I stayed In Biota for twenty-nine meals. Don’t ask me how many days that makes; we knew only two sorts of times—meals and between menls. As for sightseeing, we didn’t see much more than our pintes. because after each meal in the back parlor of that celestial cake shop we were so chock fall that we hibernated like snake*. lay sprawling on conches, un able to budge, blinking sleepily, grunting grants of Eiyslan contentment Time and again we would ask that Frenchman how he had come by his culinary skill, but in Tain. Fie would merely smile and give us another help tog. You may get some idea of what sort of meals tbat cuss gaTe us when I tell yon that Bodflsh summed up his ability In these words; “ ‘At times he seems to lose his culinary grip and descends to mere per faction.’ “After the twenty-ninth meal Bodflsh and I remembered tbat we belonged somewhere, bad a number of relatives, were engaged In business, bad restive careen to coax along. So wa called our cook, announced that we were leaving and wanted to know how much wo owed. " ’•lx franca for each day. messieurs.’ said be. ’One for the room, one for breakfast ono and ■ half for lunch, two and a half for dinner.’ “Bodflsh and I fell heavily against each other. Then wa paid and started for the door. " ’Watt’ said our host T, too, travai away today.’ “ 'Whither are yon fccund? we asked. "To St Petersburg,' be replied. ‘1 eame away but to see by old mother tn the cake abop. I had not seen her for flv# yean. I must thank you. meaetaurs, for giving me this cbnnca of kaeplng up my art Had yon not dons so.
