What do you mean by bring- ing me this stuff when I asked for an omelette Tartarin?” I inquired of the waiter who served me in the Cafe Na- poleon. For whenever I visited Paris I went to the Napoleon for one of Monsieur Duhamel’s famous omelettes, The waiter shrugged his shoulders. “Helas, Monsieur, we cannot provide the original omelette Tartarin any more,” he sald. “Only Monsieur Al- phonse, the chef, knew how to make heem, and he is gone to America. He works now in the Hotel St. Charles.” This interested me, for the Hotel St.' Charles is round the corner of the , downtown New York block in which I live. And I had never known that the omelette Tartarin was to be had there! The waiter glanced toward the dark- eyed Mademoiselle Dubois, at the cash counter. “You see, Monsieur,” he explained, “there was a quarrel between Mon- sieur Napoleon, the proprietor, and Monsfeur Alphonse, the chef, over Mademoiselle Dubois, of the cash counter. Each wanted to marry her. Eh bein! Monsieur Alphonse was re- jected, and he went to America. And Monsieur Napoleon—" “Married her?” I asked. “Mais oui, monsieur. Mademoiselle | Dubois is now Madame Napoleon Only this {8 a secret, understand, be- cause it would spoil business if it were known. But helas; One can only obtain the omelette Tartarin in New York now at the Hotel St. Charles.” I spoke to stout little Monsieur Na- poleon about the matter. I did not re- veal to him my knowlege of the secret, however, though. I saw the pretty cashier look suspiciously’at me. “Monsieur,” said the “verily, since Monsleur Alphonse left me my custom has fallen off sadly. “Sacre! Monsleur, Do You Asperse My Omelette?” He was the inventor®of the famous omelette Tartarin. Kings have eaten at this little restaurant, because the omelette in royal courts. Now, alas, the ome- ! lette Tartarin is dead.” | Suddenly he caught me by the lapels ! of my coat, and stood holding me thus, his head a little on one side, and a beseeching expression on his face. “Monsieur,” he said, “will you not be an ambassador of peace for me? Monsieur, you are of New York. You know the Hotel St. Charles, that scoundrel Alphonse now cooks for a nation of unartists, who can never rise to the appreciation of the omelette Tartarin will you not go to the accursed one and beg him to return?” “And tell him we shall all be good continued Madame Na- poleon, or, rather, Mademoiselle Du- bois, as she must still continue to be known. Well, I felt sorry for Monsier Napoleon and the disappointed kings, and I thought that to forego my own chances of tasting the omelette Tartarin at the St. Charles wag an act of distinct self-abnegation. The first evening I had to spare after my arrival in New St. Charles and ordered an omelette Tartarin It was no more the omelette Tar- tarin of the Cafe Napoleon than the present omelette of the Cafe Napoleon was like the wonderful creations of yesteryear. I could not understand it “Is not Monsieur Alphonse your inquired of the headwaiter. “Yes, sir,” he answered. “Fine chef, too, he's supposed to be. He's got a gold medal from the late king of Bel- gium for his omelette Tartarin. Didn't you find it distinguished, sir?"” “No!" I shouted. “I've eaten bad omelettes in countries of the world, but for sheer unsavoriness I've never tasted one as bad as the one I've had here tonight. Bring your chef to me at once The waiter looked as if he was go- ing to burst into tears, but appare he thought better of it, and, being . pressed by my manner, he summoned the chef, who presently made his ap- He was a stout, black- most proprietor, ' Tartarin is not to be obtained ' where | When you return, ' I accepted the commission. bearded brigand, with a furtive look i his eye that I hardly liked. “What's this about my omelette?" he began truculently. “Monsieur Alphonse,” I said, "you are a fake and a fraud. Either you are not the original Monsieur Alphonse. or else you have lost your mind, or else your skill has deserted you, or else the Great American Hen has been smitten with the craze for turning out an inferior product. Come, out with your confession. What's the mutter."” “Sacre, monsieur, do you asperse my omelette?” he began. “Your omelette {s as degenerate as yourself,” I answered. “It may de- ceive the gay millionaires of the Great White Way, but it doesn't go down—I mean this literally—with one who has enjoyed the correct article at the Cafe Napoleon. Now, listen, Alphonse! Monsfeur Napoleon wants you to re- turn. He {s pining for you.” “Ah, mon Dieu, the scoundrel stole my sweetheart,” sald the chef. “Since then I have vowed never, never to cook the correct omelette Tartarin—" “Alphonse,” T answered, “you are a married man!” | “Monsieur!” he gasped. “How do you know?" “By the furtive look in your eye,” I answered “By the come-home-early atmosphere that you are shedding around this former home of bright bachelordom. Come, Alphonse, out with it.” “Monsieur, I am married three | months,” he answered. worship—" “Never mind that!

(Copyright, 1014, by W, "FIRST FLOWERS IN PULPIT Parson Allen of Northboro, Mass., Led the Way in Braving the Old Prejudice. G. Chapman.) Few church-goers who note the floral decorations of the pulpit on Sunday mornings know who it was that first brought flowers into a descendant of the New England church. Of course such a thing could not* have been | thought of in Puritan days any more than musie, or stoves, or any other awereducing Influence in the old meeting house. That makes it all the more curious that the custom of pulpit decorations ghould have originated in Northboro, Mass. The clergyman, Doctor Allen, al- though a true preacher of the old | school happened also to be a lover of flowers. He had a beautiful, old fash- foned garden in front of his house, and one Sunday in 1834 he took a bou- quet to church and placed it beside , the Bible. ! On seeing it one of the deacons went forward and removed the vase, | remarking: ‘“Parson, I'll just take them weeds out of your way.” The next Sunday Doctor Allen again placed = bunch of his garden flowers beside the Bible, and this time it re- mained. Other churches took the matter up and sermons were preached about i It was blasphemous, and a wicked, worldly show, it was declared. But the blossoms wero there each Sunday, and are there to this day It is the custom of this Northboro church to v garden flowers or wild flowers or leaves when they are In season; but collections are taken up to buy flowers through the seasons when these cannot be had.
