THE OMELETTE ON THE GRAMOPHONE.

A gramophone record has been made of an omelette.

Tho young bride has only to carry the gramophone into the kitchenette and follow ihc directions and then, unless fche is extraordinarily clumsy, she will turn out a perfectly Parisian omelette.

The record was made by M. Boulcstin, tho famous chef. He. -made dozens of omelettes at the studio before he made a record that was exactly night. The cracking of the eggshells and the cheerful clatter of the chef's tools arc clearly heard, as well as his little talk on "How to Make An Omelette."

Three dozen and three eggs wore used while the recording was being done, but tlic.ro are actually three eggs in each of jM. Boiile.-tin's omelettes.

That knowledge would once have saved a man's life. During the French Revolution a French aristocrat in disguise went, to a. email inn and afckod for an omelette. Much as the ice-creqin man nt-ks if you want a threepenny or a sixpenny one, the innkeeper's wife askpdi "How many eggs shall I put in?"

The aristocrat knew nothing about omelettes, except that they were good to eat. "A dozen," he replied.

Then the innkeeper's yife guessed that he was no peasant, in spite of his (■lollies. iSho told her husband, and tin: aristocrat paid for his slip with his life.
