The Married
' !Tha Unpriced Menu Clouds Helen's
' Enjoyment of Supreme
Parisian Dinner.
Tired, achinely tired, Helen
dropped into a gilt armchair by the
canopied bed.
With feminine impatience to view
her purchases, -she started tp undo
them before taking off her wraps.
Only five small "parcels I Not much
to t show- tor : a whole r day . in the
Paris sliops. But it was her first
day, and she had prudently decided
to'-have a general look around be
fore buying.
The obligation of "presents for
everybody" weighed heavily. That
appalling list of friends and rela
tives :to whom they must take
something!"
His people it was always.so dif
ficult to buy for them. Carrie 1
How she dreaded selecting anything
for her supercilious sister-in-law. .
She was examining a suede bag
from the Bon Marcho, that she had
bought with Carrie in mind. If
Warren thought it not enough it
would do for Aunt Emma.
"Sizing up your loot?"
With the noise from the street she
had not heard Warren enter, joy
ously greeting him, she took his
coat and drew up the most com
fortable chair. ,
"Jove, I've had a day of it," as he
sank into upholstered ease. "Duret's
in London but I saw Jevard. We
had a long session I'm to meet him
again in he motning. Get me a
handkerchief," fumbling in his pock
' et. ' ..- ' ' . - ' '
"Why, dear, haven't you had one
alt day?" opening his trunk.
, "Must've lost it. Too busy to
Jay one. Well, what lucik did you
have?" glancing at the packages on
the bed. "Get much?"
'MNov that's all. I want an idea of
values over here before buying. But
I got this handbag for Carrie I
love that ivory too.
-A "Huh, don t think much of that
"Get her one of those bead bags a
good one. Saw some whoppers along
the Rue de Rivoli."
.J'Why, Warren, they're so expen
sive! And we've got to take some
thing to everybody 1 We can't af
ford " , '
,; "Well, we'll take something good
to Carrie. Give that to somebody
else some . of . your folks, ! since
you're . so keen , about it." Then
starting to wash up, "Now get ready.
ijVe're igoing to the best restaurant
vci Paris for dinner."
. ."Where, dear!" with an anxious
thought of the expense.
' "Place Jevard took me for lunch.
Talk about food. The cWfef they've
got there's a wonder."
"Is it a smart place? Shall I
(Iress?"
"Oh, you're all right." without
glancing toward her. "We'll bum
around Montmartre afterward."
.'Twenty minutes later. they were
driving down the Boulevard jammed
With the dinner-going throng. The
lights, the vibrant crowd, the chorus
of honking horns, and the conscious
ness that this was "Paris", thrilled
Helen anew..
'With the characteristic reckless
ltess of French drivers; they swirled
a ' corner into a quiet side street
Several yards further and they shot
Up before a narrow gray-fronted
house with a modest sign over the
vioorway: . . . ..

K v Cuisine Extraordinaire
'When they entered the small un
pretentious dining room. Helen felt
comfortably reassured that it was
ppt an expensive place.
"Well go upstairs' Warren led
the way.
x.. "Table a deux, monsieur?" a wait
er met them at the top of the steps
'Par ici, monsieur, s'if voiis plait,"
iushering them into one of three
small rooms.
V; The whole place was conspicu
ously plain, thi walls bare except
for a few old prints, and the- floor
tmcarpeted. In the center stood a
wheel steam table with a monstrous
silver-domed platter.
"Good evening, 'monsieur' beamed

again." v.,v V , -

Life of Helen
By Mabel Herbert Urner
tested Helen hastily, knowing It
would be an expensive dish, "May
I see a menu?"
One horrified glance showed the
card was unpriced! They were In
one of those "no-price" places for
which Paris was notorious.
. "I had a late lunch. 1 just want
something simple a a chop." -
"I am sorry madame. we don't
serve chops for dinner; Would you
care fdr. Frogs Legs Vian?, They're
very nice one of our specialties."
"Fine! approved Warren. "You
like frogs' legs. Now what'll we
start off with? No, we can get
melon at home," dismissing the
suave suggestion. "We'll have
some hors d'oeuvre and St Ger
main soup. Let's see a wine list."
"Right away, monsieur," hurrying
to seat a party of four.
"Dear, there're no prices on this
menul" Helen's voice was tragic.
"Well, what of it?" with madden
ing indifferchce. '
"You know how they charge at
such places! How much was your
lunch?"
"Don't know Jevard's lunch.
Whatever it was it was worth it"
"You needn't have ordered so
much. The stories you hear about
these places! They charge. Amer
icans whatever they think they can
get." '
"Rot! This place isn't fixed ua
for tourists. Jevard knew we were
coming here he'd have tipped me
pft.if he'd thought they'd soak us.'
"Then" why don't they put their
prices on the menu?"
"They charge according to what
you order. One dish is more in pro
portion than several. That's only
fair. It won't be any more than's
right." .
Helen's anxious glance at the wine
list showed that was also unpriced.
"How's this' Chablis Village?
Fairly dry?" - i . . .
"That's a good dry wine, mon-.
sieuri A quart of water with it?"
"No, we'll take it straight Get
plenty of water in tie states."
J Two' elderly Frenthmen in eve
ning dress., evidently habitues, had
taken a nearby table. : Critically
viewing the haunch of venison, they
indicated their cut, and then in volu
ble French gave a lengthy detailed
order. ,
"Guess those old birds'll do them
selves well," observed Warren.
"Look like they know, something
about food."
Inordinately fond ? of hors
d'ocuvre. 'Helen could have purred
over the eight small dishes, had not
the check loomed ominolisly.
There was an, alluring variety
snails, caviar., anchovies coiled on
hearts of artichoke!, fillets of her-
ungs, royans, pickled eggs and two
mixed salads.
"Dear, is all this in the portion
or do we pay for what we eat?'
"Now see here, you enjoy this
dinner and stop thinking about the
check." ;; ; ' , ,
But Helen's consumption of the
hors de'oeuvre iwas restrained by
the rankling doubt as to whether the
price was inclusive or per dish.
The St. Germain soup,, a thick
vividr green, was delicious. Here at
least, she had no scruples in dis
patching it all.
The. head waiter himself served
Warren's -vension. With surgical
skill lie carved a generous, portion
and smothered it with thrufflles". '
The" casserole frogs' legs were
covered with a marvelous amber
sauce. Helen forgot the check as

For Women to Don High Necks and Long Skirts

for women is recommended by Rev.
E. Talmadge Root, executive secre
taryof the Federation of Churches of
Massachusetts. .
Dr. Root declares that the anni
versary of the Pilgrims' landing is
the fitting time for women to go
back to .the old-fashioned and "re
spectable clothes of their foremoth
ers. - i . . o - "
" "Now- is the time for every decent
woman to turn to the high neck
ruffs, the stiff starches, the long
skirts and the enveloping cloaks of
old Dame Puritan," he says.
Here are some of the thunderous
broadsides hurled at the dress of
modern women. '
and Warren
she ried to analyze the baffling
piquant flavor.
"Pretty good, eh?" demanded
Warren. "Told you this chef was
a wonder. Just taste this venison,"
forking a morsel onto her plate. .
"I suppose they cook everything
in this fresh unsalted butter."
"It's more than that Some o
these French chefs are great artists.
But you can't transplant 'em! When
they, strike America they're not the
real thing. You couldn't get this
dinner in New York. Same way
with the waiters. A few weeks there
and they're as insolent as all the
rest"
"Oh, dear, those men are having
the most wonderful things. What's
that in the chafing dish? And that
old dusty bottle of wine!"
"Told you those old coves knew
something about food."
"A salad, monsieur? An artichoke
vinaigrette?"
"I don't care for anything else,"
from Helen hastily.
"Well, I do," Warren took up the
menu. "What's this cheese you've
got in big type? Creme de la
Creme. That one of your special
ties?" "Yes monsieur. It's very fine
with strawberry tart Tvvb por
tions?" "Yes, and we'll have coffee and
cordial two Grand Marniers," ig
noring Helen's under-the-table
nudge. f . : ',
"Warren, this will be over thirty
dollars. ' I'd rather have had J"?
a sandwich I'd have enjoyed k
more. You know how I feel about
expensive dinners. If you'd spend
it on something we could KEEP!
something for the house. But to
throw it away on food!"
I "Oh, cut it! I'm going to stow
away a few good dinners while
we're in Paris. Can't get food like
this anywhere else and I'm will
ing to pay for it. Look what's
coming! Ever lamp anything like
that?" ' . , V
A creamy mound ! covered with
yellow cream' filled a tall-stemmed
dish. 0
It was a supreme cream cheese of
frothy lightness, smothered in a
golden sweet cream, almost thick
enough to out with a fork.
Helen thought of the price of
double cream. This must be quad
ruple and there was over, half a
pint!
"That strawberry tart may be all
right but I'm going to eat this
cheese alone," announced Warren.
"Bet this is the only place in Paris
you can get it."
With the coffee came a square
bottle the-fragrant Grand Marnier.
Then at last the check! Fumbling
with her gloves, Helen tried to read
the total francs, but upside ;down
the slanting French figures were
indecipherable. , Nor could she dis
tinguish the notes Warren took
from his wallet.
It v was not until they were out-,
side that she ventured a tense,
brgathless, "What was it?" ;
"About five dollars and a half,'
with a sardonic grin. "So you had
your epileptics for nothing."
"Only five and a half?" she gasped
her relief. "Why, Warren, I thought
it would be at least twenty! Oh, if
I'd only known "
"You'd have settled back and en
joyed it, ieh?" hailing a taxi.- "But
you worried so. damned much about
the pricer-you -spoiled your whole
dinner. And you'd .have spoiled
MINE, too," savagely, "if , I'd let
you!"

MY DEARS:
There is a question in the mind of
many Polly readers as to whether
the shopping department of The Bee
will do sale shopping.
VVith the different reldy-to-wear
houses taking a big loss on each
item of apparel sold, the, managers
of departments are' naturally a bit
reluctant to let things leave their
shops for out-of-town purchasers un
less they feel that the garments sent
out are bona fide sales.
For that reason, please understand
that everything ordered should be
taken with the assurance that Polly's
best judgment has selected this par
ticular garment with careful com
parisons of prices, that it is indeed
the best to be had for the money and
that it is a sale if the size is at all
right. ' ' '.'.-

letters, please, made payable to the

neously through the mail, they had no idea what kind of an affair to expect.
"It just can't be a baby party," one ot them said, "we had one last
month. And it wasn't. T ' " -
When every one had arrived the hostess passed around first a basket
containing small cards on which was written, couple one, table one;
couple two, table two; and so on, for the five tables, just like any formal
card party. Then when every one was seated she came around with little
pink crepe paper bags gathered up with pink baby ribbon, and presented
, every one with one. "These are to hold your scores," she told them.
The games at the tables were a weird -conglomeration, although they
were all fun. In the center of table one was a very good replica of a wed
ding ring ab6ut three inches across made of a wooden embroidery hoop
wrapped with cotton and covered with gilt braid. Around it was arranged
an ordinary game of tiddly winks. At table two they played the old nurs

Needless to say by the time
they were all getting suspicious, and every one was excited. But nothing
happened. When every one had played at every table, the hostess told
them to count their scores, and she cleared the table and put on little
white cloths. When she brought around the napkins on a, tray she put a
tiny little nosegay bouquet made up
and little white baby ribbon streamers at each place. In the next room
a phonograph was playing "Love's Old Seet Song" and "The Sweetest
Story Ever Told."
When the score was taken after refreshments, of course, several had
the same number of kisses in their bags. Then the hostess said that it
was so hard to decide to whom to give the prize that she was giving it
to every one, and she passed little packages to each one. When they wert
opened they were found to contain little frames with snapshots of the en
gaged couple.
