The trees had be gun to change to those soft tints of brown and red and gold that are the glory of the waning year. A soft haze turned perspectives of town and country to pastels of Borne master brush. Borne on the vagrant breeze came the tang of burning leaves By such sings as these I new the time had come. And yet I did not need them for in my sould was a yearning that naught, else would sat lsryT-wlthln me was a void that naugh else could fill ' I could get it that I knew for I had investigated before I built my hopes too high. So I made my lunch a frugal meal that I might be tbe better prepared when It came that I might satiate myself, so to speak. wnen me time came when I was ready, aye, primed, for it I called my garcon to my side I whispered in his ear his face lighted with un derstanding he noded saeelv he departed.

Row upon row of shining pots and pans graced Us walls Strung across its length, above the head, were little clumps of fragrant herbs that spiced the air. It was a place to make glad the heart of an epicure. At a big table in the center of this room stood a little, while-haired rosy-cheeked, cheery old lady the genius of the place. About her were crocks and tins and snonna ni shakers. Her sleeves were rolled up. un ner blue gingham anron were spots and flecks of flour. She deftly rolled the doUKt on a board hpfnrn her. I Presently she paused, drew a num ber of pans toward her and with th skill of an artist she fitted and shap- ea me dough Into each. From a big crock at her side she ladled a rich brown mass until each tin was filled to the brim. At wie side of the kltche n was on old-fashioned brick oven. To thin she turned, threw open the door and mrust tn her hand. Satisfied, she placed the pans in the oven and clos ed the door carefully. On her face was a whimsical smile and she hum med an old tune under her breath as she began other tasks of the day. Now and again she opened the oven aoor and inspected her work. At length she was quite satisfied. With . . . u oroaa pauaie she drew out the pans and carefully deposited them on a shelf outside the window. There they stood in tempting ar ray sif of them a triumph of cul inary art a banquet fit for a kind! With the cream and tan of their flaky crust was blent the yellow and goia and brown of thelf face, and wafted from them was an odor in describable an odor that travelled across the miles, through the years, and assailed my nostrils like some incense from the vanished past of boyhood days . . I came to myself with a start. My clgarete was burning my fingers. The garcon was approaching the table. He laid a plate before me.
