A Bond Street store in London, noted for its attractive novelties, is showing a clever new idea for the breaskfast table in the form of an electro-plated newspaper stand to the base of which is attached a revolving frame for holding a glass marmalade and jam container, batter dish, and cruct. A similar stand without the revolving tray has been on the market for some time and was produced in responše to a demand from many women who said that milk jugs and junt had a mysterious habit of dis- appearing on the breakfast table only to be discovered at last being used as supports for a newspaper! What principles, if any, governi

Tel Centi,

The rich man's "dinner" is real- ly a triumph of experience and art In getting the very maximum of nourishment and pleasure out of the food and time at his disposal. The really clever cook sets out to prepare the digestion, to satisfy the hunger, and to assist the digestion, and the perfect meal, therefore, leads up to the principal dish, and then, as it were, away from it. To begin with it sweet dish, for instance, would only cloy the palate, whereas the sequence of, say, olives oroysters, soup, fish and so on, draws out the gastric juices, and warns the stoniach to clear for action!" Though such niceties cannot be studied in the average man's meal, his wife, in giving him meat, sweet pudding, and cheese, is doing her best to follow the gul-inclined to lie down or stop work. a medieval king of Poland, was dance of the great chef.
