To American tourists ‘who “do” ihe Vatican, the throne room is unknown. not on the list of the hundreds | ooms and salons which they are permitted to visit. It is not in the guide books. On the right, as one enters it, is the papal throne, a raised armchair, richly ornamented, standing beneath a square canepy of red velvet embroidered in gold. = Around the room :re a few gilded chairs and several taules against :ge wall with religious orr.r® mts upon em.

It was presented |to_Pope Leo XIII | The approach to the throne room is through a series of ‘beautiful rooms. The King and the Queen will first enter the magnificent Sala Clementina, a huge room with beautiful murals. Here a squadron of Swiss guards is al- | ways on sentry ‘Guty 'at the entrance | of ‘the papal epartments. and the Queen will walk through the Sala Degli Arazzi, or: Hall .of the Tapestries. In this room hang three great Gobelin -tapestries, presented to the Pope by Louis XV of France. Between the Sala Degli Arazzi and the throne room is a small room in which. the noble guard, composed of members of the papal nobility, has its post. This room leads to the Pope’s private chapel. . Receives in Private Library. Behind the throne room is the Pope's private library. Here the Pope re- ceives privately. This is the Pope’s | working-room. Above these rooms are the Pope's living quarters. Below them are the rooms of the cardinal secretary of | state. When the King and Queen enter the throne room they will find two chairs | placed for them beside the throne. The King will take the one to ihe | right, the Queen the one to the left. ‘When their conversation begins, the doors of the room will be closed.

Surely the enterprising man who brings you to our shores will make a fortune in this life and be honored with a full size statue from a grateful public when he dies. His first meal in this country makes the Briton realize that he is in a for- eign land. At breakfast grapefruit or orange juice replaces his customary por- ridge, and coffee takes the place of his beloved tea. Lunch and dinner, too, are somewhat strange, for he finds fruit salad served with the soup instead of at the end. - And he discovers that the ' Capital “Eateasies” Win Tribute Waffles, Corn on Cob, Bacon, Popcorn and Other Offerings Inspire British Journalist With Thoughts of Native Tea and Roast Beef.

It is a never-failing wonder to watch the white-coated magician cast a handful of the grain into the spinning drum. then stand aside with an aloof, mysterious air.” A minute passes, and, hey, presto! out pours a sackful of popcorn.

And in the animal kingdom there are the succu- lent hamburger and hotdog, those ever- ready saviors of the famished news- paper reporter. We in London, too, we have hotdogs, but I avoid them there, for I suspect that the “dog” is not in the name alone. Mustard, like mercy, covers a multitude of sins! Yet another culinary triumph to which the Briton must take off his hat is the American sandwich. Noble three- deckers with inspiring names, true bouquets in yourselves! How I will miss you as I munch the greasy ham and stringy beef atrocities with which the poor belated Londoner must be con- pies and puddings which he knows as “sweets” at home are classed here as dessert, a course which is confined in BY ALFRED P. PERRY. Waffles! The word that spells America to every greedy Britain. The very name is luscious to the ear. It is what the professors, lacking longer words, would call onomatopoetic, de- scribing action by the sound alone. For does 1t not suggest the well-stuffed mouth, striving vainly to articulate the dentals through teeth that will not meet? What healthy human animal can hear the music of that word with- out an inward smacking of the lips? Almost he can feel the buttered morsel melting in a flood of sirup on his wonder that the American waffie is an irresistible temptation to the foreign glutton. But it does. not stand alone. There are many others. What fitting tribute can he pay to pop- corn, that snow-white, airy manna which bloats the happy gourmand for a nickel? The process of its manufac- ture always fascinates me as a master served at the finish of the meal. Better Than at Home. The cooking he finds mostly better than at home, especially the salads and the vegetables. For Britain’s treatment of ‘the humble, inoffensive vegetable is an age-long scandal. An American Am- bassador to the Court of St. James has even felt compellad to record an unoffi- cial protest at this barbarous custom of the Islanders. “The English,” he com- plains, “have three vegetables, and two of them are cabbage.” The true horror of this grim sentence will be clear when it is realized that our most popular method of preparing cabbage for the table is to boil it till the caterpillars die, whereafter it is served a dark- green, dripping mass of much the same consistency and taste as sodden packing paper. But any consideration of gastronomic art as practiced in this country would be incomplete without a tribute to that great Western institution, the American Britain to the fruits and fancy candies | “eateasy.” Its clean, quick service and good cooking are priceless boons to the busy man. The pioneer who brings it to the other side of the Atlantic will surely reap a rich reward and earn the blessings of innumerable clerks who now must waste their time in crowded restaurants, hoping that they may be served before their luncheon hour is up. But there are some things which we could show our Western cousins. Who can rival our bacon, with its broad. Jjuicy strips, so delicate and thin that the pattern of the plate gleams| through? Or our ham, carved into wafer slices as tender and rosy as a| maiden’s cheek? And what praises can | do justice to our tea, mahogany nectar | which no true Briton would forego, even | at the very crisis of a cricket match? | Rightly are its blessings denied to a people whose first act of independence | was to throw good tea into the sea—a | deed as barbarous as that of their de- scendants who pour choice wines into the gutter. | American infusing tea must make the angels weep. At every turn the sacred rights are scorned. No heated pot re- | ceives the magic leaves—one spoonful for each drinker and one for luck. No high priest of tannin watches for the first soft gurgle of the steaming kettl to add the water at the proper moment And no five minutes pass in silent adoration before the perfect brew is poured at last into the heated cups.| Small wonder the Americans drink coffee! And last -of all there is our beef. What joint in all the world can be com- | pared to it? Dark, crackling skin with- | out, fleecy fat within which melts like snow upon the watering tongue, and then the clear brown lean shading to rose-petal pink at heart. Fit feast in- deed to set before a king! But it is idle to expect such glories in a foreign land.
