In charming, friendly manner, Queen Mary served fried sausages and onions, twopenny meat pies, roast beef, stewed gooseberries, potatoes and a dozen other cheap and excellent comestibles to the East End poor at a new communal kitchen which Princess Christian, an hour in advance of Her Majesty's visit,, opened at Stepney re- cently, And at •her mother's side stood Princess Mary, her face rosy, a picture of girlish health. The first order which the Queen re- ceived on taking her place behind the counter rather nonplussed her. "Sausage and onions and potatoes." From the kitchen at -her side there shot forth a meat pie on a plate. The Queen Iooked at the pie, looked at the custorner,••, and politely asked again what was the order. "Sausage and onions and potatoes, j ease," "Well, it can't be in there," said the Queen, gazing at the solitary pie, cast adrift on a wilderness of counter. And it was not there. There emerged an odor from the kitchen --the onions— and in a trice was served, an appetiz- li ing sausage reclining on a bed of onions and pillowed by the potatoes, Roses For The Queen. Next carne a woman, leading a bright little fellow by the hand, ask- ing for two pennyworth of soup. Then the woman, bending forward, pushed forward the little boy, who was carry- ing three roses. The Queen smiled as the -little lad held then up, and, taking them, 'asked, "Where were they grown?" "In our back yard," an- swerd the little fellow, shyly. "I've been keeping them to give y,u:." "Thank you very much," said the Queen, placing the flowers in her waistbelt. Then turning to the moth- er, she asked for her name and ad- dress. Then business,got very brisk, indeed,• .

And as they came the Queen took their instructions and passed them on to the kitchen, presently handing the viands to the purchasers. Ham in elf Envelope. "Well, my dear, and what can I get for you ?" Her Majesty asked a very tiny, ragged mit!. "Twopenny worth of 'am, miss, please," came the unexpected reply, which caused the Queen to laugh heartily as she passed, the order along to Princess Mary. The little girl who wanted the ham had neglected to bring plate and handed Her Majesty an velope. "But how are you going to take the ham home in this ?" said the Quee i. For a moment the Queen hesitated, foie the envelope was small to hold the gendrous twopenny "portion" of ham. There was no fork within reach, but, noticing the spike file on which the tickets were placed, the Queen renov- ed the checks, made a fork of the 'spike, and thus transferred the ham to the envelope. "Bring a plate next time, dear," said the Queen. Then, a; tand back!" cried the spec - sal polic ' on duty to the visitors surg- ing round. "Make way for the cus- tomers." "Yes, give the customers a chance," said the royal waitress. "Customers," she repeated. "Come along, custom- ers." The Queen stopped an hour in the kitchen, throughly enjoying her task.

You wouldn't exactly call it hands across the sea, because Canada is only across a lake; but Canada is part of England, which is a long way from South State Street, says a Chicago Writer. Anyway, what I'm driving at is this : Lieutenant Colonel J.' S. Dennis, of- ficer commanding the western division of the British Recruiting Mission, recently clasped hands with Captain T'. R. Kenney, officer com- manding' the recruiting district of Northern Illinois for the United States army. When two belligerent parties shake hands there are only two things which the referee or third party can say either "Take your corners" or "Bless you; my children," I said neither. But I held my breath, for it was an impressive mo- ment, the formal enactment in Chi- cago of immortal history; the physi- cal union of the fighting strength of two'0:great nations. And. the spirit of patriotic cooperation in the common cause of justice sanctified the alli- ance. Colonel, Dennrs and Captain Kenney Joined in plane s`hat they ro,at rs ,,n en„ ' ^a Y .t e ,::tire. ,men.. o Canadian kil in g is or American khakis. At every one of the dozens of scat” tered stations under Captain Kenney's command volunteers of Canadian citizenship were taken for the expedi- tionary forces of the Dominion; at every headquarters over which Colonel Dennis has control volunteers of American allegiance were taken for our own National Army. Captain Kenney is credited with be- ing a bit of a bearcat on the science. of recruiting. But he was immensely impressed with the policies and ideas expressed by the distinguished Cana- dian man of war, Colonel Dennis says that there are 157,000 Canadians in Chicago. Cal- gary, with a total population of 60,000, sent 16,000 soldiers to the front. What them might Chicago yield ? There are about 350,000 British sub- jects here, and some sixty-five St. George and Maple Leaf societies. There is no shortage of material here- about for the British recruiting mis- sion. A thrillingly interesting man is Colonel Dennis. He is the most ver- satile individual I have ever met.

When a Chinese crew sets sail these days, says the New York Times, it al- ways takes along a lot of firecrackers. The Chinese is superstitious. He has always believed that the exploding of a firecracker was the most efficacious method of putting evil spirits to fight, Now that the U-boat is a danger to ships, the Chinese sailors take with them on voyages great strings of fire'- crackers, which they explode in tha danger zones to frighten away the German U-boat along with other evil things.

BRITISH ARMY SAVING FOOD. Men as Well Fed as Ever, But Saving Amounts to 15 Per Cent. The British army in the field is con- uming about 15 per cent. less of food - tuffs per capita than it did eighteen onths ago. This is not due to any studied dimi- ution of rations, but to a more care - 11 distribution and the prevention of aste. It is very easy for a generous ommissariat to supply an army with ore than it can use. In the early ays of the war this practice of gen - rosity was well-nigh universal, be- ause it was regarded as wiser to pro- de too much than too little, and the aching of the exact mean is not a mple matter. The policy of over- pply was well enough when food- uffs were•; fairly plentiful, but nowa- ys, when the result of the war may pend upon the solution of food pro- ems, nothing is being left undone to event waste. The British soldier is still the best - d soldier in Europe, but the supply opartmeus are gradually rescuing m from the stigma of being at the ame time the most wasteful.

Not long after a fire in a town near London, some children in the city held a charity fair, by which $20 was realiz- ed. This sum they forwarded to the rector of the church in the town where the fire had occurred, since he had taken a prominent part in the relief work. The letter read as follows: "We have had a fair and made $20, We are sending it to you. Please give it to the; fire sufferers. Yours truly, etc. , P.S.—We hope the suffering is not 11 over."
