Woman's Unusual Job Anna Harten 's jolly f ace creased into ceymtless wrinkles. Beaming with Falstaffian relish at memories of delicious dishes eaten in strange places she said that was her job — travelling and eating. Sh'e is.talent-spotter as it were for a group of American r estay rants wliich specialise in unusual. dishes to tickle the jaded 'palaies of big business men, says a Londou correspondent. She has eaten her way across Europe, trying the Knoedelsuppe as they make it in the Tyro!, found in Vienna 'the Bchnitzel cooked as the Emperor Francis Joseph liked it. In Capri she gloated cver a new Parmesan sauce for spaghetti, ate duck stuffed With mashed marrow in Thessaly. Now she is looking for things te eat - in England. Dark eyes sparkling with fun, she gave a little tug at her jacket, shook her head in mock sorrow when it wouldn't meet, and lamented the lost lines of a svelte figure.

She has dug up a lot of old reeipes used by "Ameriea's earlier settlers, hopes they are still used. "It's up in Lincolnshire I, shall be going to for stuck pie, and I hope they still make eel pie at Richmond. There 's lots of ginger-bread I want to try, but Congleton, in Cheshire, makes a speciality of it, I'm told. There ought to be paigle pudding in Essex, made with cowslips and god-cakes in Coventry. "I know there 's marrow-bone pie at Oxford, and there is a marrow pudding up in Newcastle. I shan't be wanting any help. 1" know where to !ook, and you can take it from me tliat menus back home are going fo-have 'some good pia JSqglislt * .v .1
