MRS. CHAS. M. ALEXANDER.
The following unique account of a
Chinese luncheon given to the Chap
man-Alexander party while at Shang
hai is taken from a copy of their
beautifully illustrated souvenir of
their wonderful work in the Orient,
and we are giving it to our Household
ers because of its rare interest, but
with no fear of a duplication of its
menu by any of our readers, regard
less of how it might help in the pres-
Dining on Birds’ Nests and Water
melon Seeds. '
One of the memorable experiences
of the visit to Shanghai was a gen
uine Chinese tiffin or lunch. This was
tendered to the party on September
15th at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A.,
by the board of dierctors of that in
stitution. Anticipation ran high as to
the manner in which the guests would
UNSIGHTLY WARTS REMOVED.
Almost any wart will yield to the fol
lowing treatment. Paint the wart with
East India Corn Paint twice a day lor
five or six days, washing the paint off
once a day. At the end of t-he sixth day
the wart goes—-no pain, no burning, no
scar or stain. Corns, bunions, callouses
and indurations of the skin also removed.
A splendid remedy for soft corns between
the toes. East India Corn Paint can be
had for 25c a bottle at drug stores or post
paid from The Abbott Company, Savan
nah, Ga.
ARE POSITIONS SCARCE?
If pay is small and employment
hard to find, why not write to us,
and let us show you how to remove
the difficulty?
We have been working on the
problem 25 years. We have solved
it. Catalogue free for the asking.

ent day effort at economy.
Both Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. Al
exander, whose pictures appear above,
are very earnest and effective work
ers in the truly marvelous meeting
that is now being conducted in At
lanta.
They are indeed “help-meets” to
their consecrated husbands who live

behave with the chop-sticks or rather,
how the chop-sticks would behave in
their hands. They were slender lit
tle implements of ivory, and quite easy
to handle, so long as there was noth
ing to be picked up, but in act a] ser
vice they were found to be cf great
assistance in promoting the doctrines
cf Mr. Horace Fletcher, whose cardi
nal principle is to eat slowly.
To be sure of stating correctly what
we had, writes Mr. Harkness, I made
pencil notes in my little book during
the meal. According to my list, we
had no fewer than fifteen courses.
This sounds like a banquet, but fif
teen dishes is considered small for
such a meal—a mere snack, as it were.
The first item on the menu was a
dish cf nuts. These were hard and
incipid, but courtesy forbade my de
clining them, so I indulged in a few
and found they were intended to act
as a kind of appetizer. Then we had
roasted watermelon seeds, which had
to be cracked and the inside eaten.
They possessed a peculiar, and not at
all objectionable flavor, though they
are also more in the nature of a fill
cip to the appetite than a substantial
item of the meal. Following these
came on a small portion of boiled
chicken. This was served very greasy
TETTERINE WHEN OTHER FAIL.
That’s the great thing about Tetterine
skin remedy. It does insist upon relieving
the severest cases of Tetter, Ringworm,
Eczema, Itch, Acne. Pimples, etc., when
others fall down. Mrs. S. E. Hart, Cross
Trails, Ala., says:—“l used Tetterine for
tetter which has been running for 5 years.
Nothing gave relief until I used your
remedy and one box made a final cure.”

THE GOLDEN AGE
and cold, and to negotiate it with chop
sticks was really a very trying ordeal.
One piece of chicken lost its balance
en route to its destination and feil
very gracefully on to my knee. I did
not attempt the impossible task of re
covering it with the chop-sticks. The
boiled chicken gave place to a ham
course. This was a very thirsty dish
and it was a very warm day, you can
well imagine that by the time 1 had
partaken of even a small morsel, I had
a thirst that seemed to be unquench
able. Next came course number five.
This consisted of one of the delicacies
of the dinner —sharks’ fins. Toe real
thing, too, but very oily and whalish
in its taste. The fins were dished up
in a thick kind of oil, which to my
doubtless distorted western taste, did
not add at all to the tone of the dish.
I doubt if any of us ever took so much
oil in our lives as we took at that din
ner.
Swallow’s Nest as a Dainty.
Dish number six was another spec
ialty, which consisted of a cooked
bird’s nest. Yes, it was! I learned
that the particular nest which was
placed before me was that of an un
fortunate swallow, and that it had
been gathered from the rocks on the
sea coast. A local wag—not a Chi
nese —suggested that it was an appro
priate nest to gather for the purpose,
and really this item sounds far worse
than it tastes. It was well cooked,
and had rather a good flavor, being
served up something like tapioca soup
of a thick order. If one can forget
the idea, suggested by bird s nest, one
may thoroughly enjoy this dish —in
fact, I feel free to recommend it.
Shrimps and green peas came next.
These were quite harmless and w’ere
soon disposed of, for by this time the
chop-sticks had become easier to ma
nipulate. I began to feel that I had
eaten more than enough, however, so
I inquired of my Chinese neighbor as
to when the last course would come.
He alarmed me by saying that the
dinner was not half over. Pigeon
eggs with friend walnuts (very oily)
and a preserved greengage dressing
was next on the list. The eggs were
very tasty and good, but naturally the
jaded western appetite was unable to
do full justice to them.
Number nine course was one of boil
ed chicken and bamboo. The bamboo
was rather fibrous and lacked flavor,
and the dish as a whole was not a
great success. Then came a piece of
de resistance, something that is known
as ‘‘eight precious pudding,’’ a pud
ding consisting of eight ingredients.
These are the ingredients: Rice, su
gar, lotus-seed, dates, cherries, raisins,
dragon-eye (a local fruit of distasteful
flavor), and another which I failed to
get the name of. The pudding was ac
companied by almond sauce, and was
unusually sweet, though rather pleas
ant as a whole. After this we had
another dish of fried shrimp and
sauce. Then came roast duck and
fritters —a very excellent dish —al-
though we were so “contented” by this
Jme that we could do but little with
