Our Mother Eve

A Petal From the First Flower

By Nell Brinkley

I came on a darling litt! K. i I know the other day, crouching on lu-r plump little knees on the slippery top of her mother's dressing table, among the cpnrkling crystal bottles of orange oii and beautiful golden and violet

water, gazing raptly into the mirror flower stem but they glowed like at her own little self. She had been anything, and that was all she cared! to the maid's room and decorated herrllere in her mother's jewelry box she thin little neck with that, hard work- was rioting, her little fists full of ing person's amber beads, and they I gold beads and things that glittered hung like a ball and chain around a . and winked as the sun struck them

Celebrated for its hump steak, lark, kidney and oyster puddings. Ye SuinnvT Fare. Ye Winter Fare. There were three special dishes ttiven each day of the week, both winter and summer: It was Saturday, and Helen read aloud the list for the day: Ye Pigeon Pie. Stewed Steak. Chop Toad in Hole. "Warren, whnt IS 'Chop Toad in Hole'?" "Don't know. Better take the pigeon pie. That sounds safe. And we want some prilled tomatoes, boiled cabbage and some toasted Cheshyre cheese.

They have worked that Dr. Johnson business to death." "Yet you said the food was good." "Yes." admitted Warren, "they do give you something to eat or used to. P.ut it is so overrun with rubber-necking tourists that I would rathpr get. my food some place else." Helen made no further protests, but she was so plainly disappointed that. Warren paid good-humoredly : "Oh. all right; come on, then, we v ill !o. C.'ieas I can stand it this once."

the room above, if you will kindly step up when you are through." "We came here for food not for a lot of faked tip souvenirs," growled Warren, waving aside the booklets. "Keep those for your gaping tourists." The waiter hurriedly took the booklets away, and Warren turned to Helen with an angry: "Yon see? That's what I told you! They have got a lot of booklets, postcards and such rubbish they they palm off on the fool American sightseer. There there's some of them now! As three women1, evidently Americans, came in and stood gazing around. "What, a charming old place!" gushed one. "Oh, this is Dr. Johnson's table," going over and reading aloud the brass plated inscription. "It's sit here!" And this is his veryseat!" as she settled herself on the bench right under the brass tablet with a look of pleased importance.

When the waiter came they began

dates concerning Dr. Johnson's life

rattled out with the readiness of many repititfons. Then he brought out the booklets which the women eagerly devoured and afterward bought. it was the same waiter that Warren had so rudely rebuffed. He was in his element now. "There that is the type" growled Warren. "They are New England 'school marms,' all right. I wili bet on that. Straight from Massachusetts, too. That's the sort of thing

that makes me sick of tourists. Look at them listening to that waiter's dope." "Hush sh, dear; they will hear you." "Don't care if they do." Then as the women kept plying the waiter with questions and talking aloud about Johnson, Boswell and Goldsmith, Warren grew more restive. "Say, there is plenty of places in London where yon can get good food without having to listen to all this slush," he fumed. Just then from the room back of the bar a mandolin orchestra began to play. At this Warren snorted: "Mandolin orchestra in the Cheshyre Cheese! Great Scott, that is the limit!" Fortunately the waiter came up now

with their order, and Warren's attention was diverted and his wrath somewhat appeased by the pigeon pie, steaming hot and browned to a turn. He dug into it with a fork and sniffed approvingly. "That looks pretty good. But, by George, they OUGHT to give you good food here if you put up with" But. Helen interrupted any further tirade against the place by saying: "Dear, can't I have a smaller glass for my ale. I can't drink it from this big mug. And I would like another napkin." for she had spread hers on the bare table under her plate. Warren usually grumbled about her wanting a lot of extras, but he was now so intent in exploring the contents of the. pigeon pie that he ordered the napkin and glass without comment. 'That's a pigeon pie, for you the real thing! Can't get a decent meat pie in New York. Don't know how to make 'em. Just try that crust." One of the mandolin musicians now came through carrying his hat in which he jingled a few coins. The school teachers contributed some coppers and then he paused at Warren's elbow. Warren glanced at the extended hat and then up at the man with a curt: "What's that for?" "The the music, sir," he stammered. "The devil," roared Warren. "How' much will you take to shut up and get out?" But the man had discreetly disappeared. Under the benign influence of the pigeon and the second mug of ale, Warren gradually grew less churlish. And by the time the toasted cheese came he was so genial that Helen ventured a tentative: "Dear, while we are here, we ought to see it all. They might have some interesting things upstairs."

' Oh, all right, we will go up if you want to. Come on then, if we are going. We want, to beat those school marms to it. I couldn't stand for their comments." They climbed up the steep, dark stairs to the quaint old rooms above. There was a Dr. Johnson desk which Warren sniffed at as a fake. There was a copy of the first edition of Dr. Johnson's dictionary, and some autographed letters which he inspected with interest. There was also the huge kettle in which they make the famous beef steak pie every Wednesday during the winter. But to Helen the rooms appealed most. She loved the curious windows and low, irregular ceilings. 'Not so bad," commented Warren aa

he came down. "That's the first edition of the dictionary all right and it Is worth a lot of money." Encouraged by this, Helen ventured to ask for one of the booklets. "It Is foolish, I know but I should like one to take home." "Better have some post-cards with it," he scoffed, but the derision wa3 good humored now. "Do the thing up right while you are at it." "Well dear, it WASN'T such a bad place," declared Helen when they finally came out on Fleet street. "Oh, it is all right," tolerantly. "Guess the food makes up for the

i tourist slush. That pigeon pie was

great."

The world-wide standard BaiMimg Fwdbp Absolutely Pure Royal Baking Powder is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the highest class baking powder and its use is more economical than other leavening agents, because of the superlative quality and absolute wholesomeness of the food it makes. Cheap baking powders, containing alum, are frequently distributed from door to door, or advertised as pure and wholesome. Such mixtures are not desirable for food ingredients. Most persons have learned to their sorrow that a low price doe.s not always mean economy. This is especially so in a food article. No baking powder can properly be substituted for Royal. Read the ingredient clause upon the label. IF it doe not show "Cream of Tartar, " don't buy the powder.
