French. We seem to have heard
vaguely of delicious repasts concocted
out of nothing with the help of a char-
coal fire and a small pot.
Certainly among the bourgeoisie that

plish itself but in the matter of cook-

question of inherited prejudice.
Normandy is a rich province and Its
peasants are better fed than those of
other parts of the country. There la a
tradition that In olden days meat was
so cheap and plentiful that if was used
to feed the pigs at the monasteries.
They drink a great deal of cider espe-
cially in the "pays de Crux." and It is
said that this is the explanation of
their bad. teeth. The dress of th
peasant women In this part of Nor-

the loug frilled cloak and the hood
which sometimes reveals a pretty pi

Imported From Spain.
Spain Is generally believed to have
sent us our first card games. "EI hom-
bre" or "the man" corrupted by us
into "ombre" was probably our earli-
est card game In England and that
mu6t have come from Spain. Also the
oldest packs of cards fouud In England
ehow Spanish symlwls such as cupus
maces and swords Another popular
English card game In the sixteenth
century was trump clearly a form of
the Spanish game trlnmfo.
Cards could be bought In lfvlR for
twopence a pack. These were very
wretched sjeclmens and most Inferior
to those produced by (he Cardmakers'
company of London in which Charles
I. created a monopoly with the finan-
cial genius of his race by buying them
up cheap and selling them at a high
price. In this he was a more open
rogue perhaps than his father who
forbade card playing in Scotland and
Indulged in it himself at every oppor
tunity. .
Cards have always been a rovai
game. Queen Elizabeth played cards
and lost her temper over them fro.
quently. She was no Anne of Austria
to play "like a queen without passion
of greed or gain." In her reign was
commanded to 1m played "at Wvml-
sore a Coinedlo or Morra! devised on a
game of the eardes" w hich resulted in

majesty's chapel of "Alexander and

A LOAN REPAID.
The Fourth Earl Stanhope and
Gentlemanly Highwayman.
The fourth Karl .Stanhope when on
his way homeward late one dark
night was held up by the most gentle-
manly of highwaymen who preferred
his request for money dr the noble-
man's life in quite the nicest way. It
happened that Lord Stanhope had. not
any money with him and was disin-
clined to yield the alternative.
"Your watch then" suggested the
gentleman at the opposite end of the
pistol. That watch the earl explained
was dear to hlra. He valued it at 100
guineas and would not surrender It
"What. I will do" he said. "Is to bring
and deposit In this tree the worth of
the watch In money and yon can call
and get It tomorrow night."
"Done m' lord" said the highway
man.
The law knew nothing about this ar
rangement and the earl did as he had
promised. He placed the 100 guineas
where the highwayman might at his
leisure collect It. And there so far as
he knew the matter ended.
Years afterward he attended a great
banquet In the city and found himself
pleasantly entertained by an extremely
well known man whose signature was
good for a sum In several figures. Next
day came to Lord Stanhope a ietter In-
closing the sum of 100 guineas. Ac-
companying it was a note begging his
acceptance of a loan granted some
years previously to the man who now
forwarded it.
That loan said the letter had ena-
bled the sender to galu a new start In
life to make a fortune and to renew
acquaintance at dinner on the previous
night with his lordship. The city mag-
nate and the highwayman of earlier
days were one and the same. London
