Revelations BY ADELE DICKY AT THE CHAFING DISH "Don't forget the lemon Juice, Dicky. You haven't put it in yet." . "Are you sure you haven't too much butter for that number of oysters?" "Let me put in the red pepper. You got too much in the last time. Dicky looked around at his torment ers in exasperation. "If you say another word 111 pitch these oysters Into the sink. We were seated around my table in the dining room, which Lillian .Gale and I had arranged invth9 afternoon. The spring flowers in the' old earthern jar which Dicky had brought from the kitchen in spite of .my protest, really were very pretty in the centre of the table. The piles of sandwiches which I bad made looked extremely appetiz. ing, flanked as they were with dishes of olives, and of the salted almonds Lillian and I had prepared with1 so much pains. Dicky stood at the head of the table, the chafing dish before him. It was connected to one of the electric light sockets and the water beneath the blazer was bubbling merrily. He held in his hand a large spoon with which he was stirring some butter which he had put into the blazer. At the right little Mrs. Lester watched the proceedings with much Interest. Next to her Harry Underwood lolled indolently against the . table. I came next, not having been able to escape from this arrangement of seats any more than I had from his companionship during the evening. Mr. Lester sat upon my other side, while Mrs. Underwood, between Mr. Lester and Dicky, completed the circle. "Hush"' Harry Underwood lifted his hand. "We forgot that Dicky can only cook these oysters properly when there is complete harmony in the circle. Who will lead in prayer?" ; I 'suppose my face reflected the distaste I felt for his remark. Anything approaching irreverence displeases mo intensely, for Lillian Gale quickly came to the Tescue. "Shut up, Harry," she said forcibly if inelegantly, "Mrs. Graham isn't used to that bar-room brand of conversation you are handing out." "AH right, sweetie," her - husband grinned provokingly at her across the table. "Madge," Dicky's voice , was quick, impatient. "Where's the oyster juice?"

I looked at the dishes flanking the chafing dish. Butter Dicky had that in the chafing dish, stirring it. Lemon juice it was ready to his band in a pet cut class of mine. The oysters, drained and ready for cooking, were in a large dish at his right, but the bowl of oyster juice, which I had seen Kati drain with much care under Dicky's direction was nowhere to be seen.; I touched the bell with a feeling of nervousness I could not conquer. I was afraid something might have hap pened to the oyster "juice, but more than, anything else I feared what Katie might do or say- when she came into the room and saw Frank Lester. She had promised to control herself, but I knew her impulsive temperament and I trembled as I heard her footstep. As she came into - the room, Mrs. Underwood asked Mrs. Lester something about her baby, thus diverting her attention.

, LONDON, Monday, Dec. 17. Germany's way in the west is clear, inasmuch as a peace by negotiations with Great Britain is out of the" question at present, Chancellor Von Hertling asserted in an interview given to the director of the Wolfe Bureau, the semiofficial German news agency, as quoted in despatches reaching London to

day.- ; ;.r Y-..-" '' The Interview was given in response to . a request for a reply to the recent speech of Premier. Lloyd-George,' who said he would regard peace overtures with Prussia at the moment the Prussian military, spirit was, .drunk with boastfulness as a betrayal of the great trust with which he and his colleagues had been charged. .. . , "Lloyd-George calls us criminals and bandits," said .the chancellor. "Modern warfare is not won by invectivo but perhaps rather prolonged thereby, because it is clearly out of the question to negotiate with men of such temper. For some time it has been impossible for an attentive . observeto doubt that the British government under Lloyd George's leadership is completely Inaccessible to the idea of a just peace by understanding. His speech affords convincing proof of this." The chancellor then discussed the origin of the war, saying German's conscience was clear and added: "More than a year has passed since we and our allies offered the enemy the hand of peace. It was rejected. In the meantime our reply to the pap COLLEGE GIRLS DRESS DOLLS OXFORD, O., Dec. 19.

She vanished without a word and returned in a moment bearing the, bowl of oyster juice. "Ah-h!" Harry Underwood heaved a deep sigh. "The country is saved. Dicky, I warn you that if you dont pull that oyster stunt pretty soon I shall begin on Mrs. Lester." Nobody paid any attention to him, however, for Dicky had added., the lemon juice to the butter, and was stirring it with the air of a Druid performing-one 1 of his rites. (To be continued) : ,
