Expert Says Pies
NEW YORK. Sol. Robinskl, who
bad taken Phil Qrcltcnkopf's place
nt tho Busy Dec's pie counter, while
Phil was up In the Catskllls on his va
cation, said ho had never heard ot
Slmplo Simon and tho pieman, so that
ho could not go back to tho very be
ginning of tho history of tho plo In
dustry. But Sol could glanco back
ward from his Ann Btreet booth over
a period of eleven and one-half years
of service In the making, carving and
serving of freBh pies, and It was his
opinion that, tako It the year round,
winter and summer, and all tho rest,
pie was about the best seller In Ann
street. Sol even went so far as to
say that tho plo eaters outnumbered
tho devotees of tho lco cream cone
and tho hot waffles combined that
is among the office boy connoisseurs
of Ann street.
Which was a flat contradiction of
tho startling news which throbbed
over tho wires tho other day from
Chicago, that the American peoplo
wore losing their tasto for pie. The
head of a large Chicago pie factory,
it appears, begged off from paying an
incrcaso in taxes-on tho ground that
plo eating was on the wane and busi
ness was not what it used to be. Pie,
said he, had decreased in popularity
with the masses, Its place being
usurped by Buch things ns fruit, Ice
cream and salad. Ann street knocked
that theory sky high.
As luck would have It, the Chicago
canard reached Ann street Just as tho
rush hour for pies pies and other
things, of course, like those luscious

CHICAGO. Cupid stole Into Munici

afternoon, became bo noisy that he in

to give him precedence over all legal
matters.
Tho court room was warm and a trial
had boon dragging along throughout
tho day. Thero had been a constant

that was extremely disconcerting, but
the court was unablo to locate it.
Finally thero was heard a sharp

Tho buzzing continued and the

The Judge could stand It no longer

was not In evldenco. Then tho court

ing ono-cent lco cream cones, and
thoso tall, amber-colored glasses of
one-cent orangeade, to mention only
a few of tho Busy Bee's noontimo doll
cacios. Sol Robinskl said that the
right and the only man to see about
this hero pie question was Phil Brelten
kopf, than whom there was no higher
pie authority in tho whole cltyior
even In Coney island.
"Phil's tho boy that can talk to you
about pie," explained Sol. "That fel
low is a regular whatyer call genius
when It comes to knowing what kind
of a plo It is boforo ho cuts it. How
does ho know it? How can I toll
you 7 If I knew, wouldn't I do It my-

Sol has a wide, all-round oxporlenco
In Ann street and they say ho is the
highest salaried man In tho Busy
Bee's employ, but in tho mattor of
pio he is not tho equal of his old
tutor, Phil Broltonkopf. Ho has not
the first-hand knowledge that Phil has,
howbelt. In Phil's absence, ho is, with
out question, tho best plo counter man
In all Ann street. So his words are
not to be passed over lightly.
"In hot weather, it Is all pie, plo,

pie, and for two cents they get a
glass of milk. Porhaps If they have
more than Ave cents for lunch, y'un
dorstand, they blow it in on root beer
or ice cream co-en, but first they must
have pie and milk."
While ho talked, Sol kept both
hands working dishing out pies. There
were all kinds. As Sol said, thero was
fresh apfel and huckleberry and cus
tard and lemon morlngk. All very
fine. The boya would point to this
kind or that, and Sol would bisect It
with his long knife, balanco tho half
on tho flat of tho blado and pass a
toothsome morsel out over tho heads
of the crowd, never once dropping the
pie or missing tho right customer.

The Proper Thing to Do.

If so, what 7 -Must an Invitation to a

A. O.
It is not necessary to say anything
on tho card, on tho other hand, it is
perfectly proper to do so. Tho words
"Sincere good wishes" or "Hearty con
gratulations" seem to bring the donor
Into closer touch with tho recipient,
but as with all things, this is a mat
ter of personal feeling. Damo Curt
soy has said tlmo and again that nn
