King Edward brought fortune to three' watering places on the contin- ent--Homburg, Marienbad and Biar- ritz. For many years he went to Homburg regularly after the Londoa season, going on to Denmark after his cure there to join Queen Alexandra at the family gathering which her mother, Queen Louise, of Denmark, arranged with profoundly clever di- plomatic skill every autumn. An emperor, king, queens, heirs- apparent to thrones, princes and princesses all met on a family foot- ing. The balance of power in Europe was more than once decided whilst the kettle boiled for one of these August family picnics in the woods. When the ex-kaiser began to fre- quent Homburg at the time of his uncle's visits, King Edward found Marienbad--then in Austria, now in Czecho-Slovakia--a more congenial cure. His annual visits "created™ Marienbad, and we know the cachet he gave to Biarritz, whither he went to avoid the crowds and the numer- ous other visiting royalities on- the Riviera. History is repeating itself. The (Prince of Wales is now doing for Le Touquet what his grandfather did for Homburg, Marienbad and Biarritz --making it a popular resort for the fashionable and the leisured. He spent Easter there, and also Whit- suntide. Le Touquet has this advantage for the Prince. When he plays golf, which he does most of the day, he is not mobbed, an experience with which he is unfortunately too familar on some English golf courses. The chronic bargin seeker usually loads up with a lot of things he has no particular use- for. TOMORROW'S MENU Breakfast Pears Coffee 4 Boiled Eggs Toast Luncheon Escalloped Tomatoes Wholewheat Bread Cocoa Radishes *Jam Dinner Broiled Slice of Ham Mashed Potatoes Spinach Prune-Orange Salad Coffee Cup Custards Dishes in This Week's Menus, Beef Smothered with Onions: Buy five pounds of beef from the round and sear it on all sides till brown in beef drippings in a frying pan. Place it in a deep pot, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and cover top of the meat with one dozen small-sized peeled and sliced raw onions. Add one cupful of boiling water, or just enough to keep the meat from stick- ing to the bottom of pot. Cover closely and let simmer from four to five hours, adding a little more water from time to time as the original cupful evaporates. Serve hot with a gravy made from the liquid in the pot. Corn-Pepper Ramekins: Put into a mixing bowl two cups of cooked, left-over corn cut from the cob (or the canned variety may be used); add three tablespoons of cooked, chopped green peppers, two well- beaten eggs, one and one-half cups of sweet milk, one teaspoon of salt, six fried slices of bacon finely minc- ed, and a pinch of pepper. Mix well together, then turn into small, in- dividual baking dishes or ramekins, which you have previously buttered and sprinkle with dry bread crumbs. Top each little dish with more of the dry crumbs, dot with bits of but- ter and bake till firm in a moderate ovén--about 35 or 40 minutes. Peach Betty: Put into a mixing bowl three cups of dried bread crumbs and add one-half cup of melt- ed butter. Mix well with a fork till the crumbs and butter are blended. Have ready three cups of peeled'and thinly-sliced ripe peaches. Put a layer of the buttered crumbs in the bottom of a buttered pudding dish, add a layer of the sliced peaches and sprinkle generously with brown sugar and grited orange or lemon peel. Repeat these layers till both crumbs and peaches are used finishing with the crumbs. Cover the dish and bake one hour. Then remove cover and let brown for 30 minutes longer. Serve hot with the following: Hard Sauce for Peach Betty: Cream one-third cup of butter, then add to it gradually one cup of con- fectioners' sugar. Flavor with one teaspoon of vanille extract, chill, and | serve on the hot pudding. Creamy Egg Toast: Beat four eggs | slightly adding one-half teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir the | eggs into two cups of hot, sweet milk and gook the mixture over hot water, stirring canstantly, till thickened. Then remove from range, add a gen- erous lump of butter and serve on hot toast \ Tomorrow--Answered Letters, v All inquiries addressed to Miss Kirkman in care of the "Efficieat Housekeeping" department will be answered in these columns in thair turn.

I don't want to find that I have any of it. I hope some day I will be first in line at a theatre box office window when it opens, but I know my ambi- tion is useless. 1 have waited for seventeen years for somebody to step aside and allow me to precede him into a car, but without avail, I have never been able to diseover why they have that pair of scales hanging on the back end of every ice- waggon. 1 have about given up trying to get as good stuff by telephoning for it as I can by going and picking it out myself. I have always found that when I try to cut down expenses, everything 1 need that very day begins going un in price. I have a bad time trying to get to good shows, When I make up my mind it is a show worth seeing it closes before I can get to it. I would give a good deal to know how some people who lve better | than I do can get out of paying their bills. I have never been able to under- stand the stuff they call "good poetry" and phere ae times when I don't believe the author does. AUNT GEMIMA. Popular Princess Mary.
