THE MAN WITH THE CREAIVI TARTS. . . —o— People who know Stevenson's "New Arabian Nights" rubbed their eyes in Leicester square (London) on a recent afternoon, for coming towards ■ them, was. the young man of ' 'The ' Suici de Club," in-.-..evening" dress, distributing cream tarts from a tray, just as Prince Florizel saw him. He approached an old gentlemen, made a courtly bow, presented a cream tart daintily, and said: "Sir, will you honour-a stranger by accepting this?" The old gentleman's mouth was already wide-open with astonishment —wide enough for ■ two or three tarts to go in abreast — 1 and he took the pastry with a puzzled air. Then the people crowded round, ; and the young man was soon handing - out cream tarts as fast as he could. * Old and young, rich and poor, accepted them, and many a dainty pair of ■gloves had to bo cleaned that night, 1 for you cannot clutch a cream tart without being denied. ] A "Daily Chronicle" representative, who missed his tart through observing » the lifeboat rule "Women and children first," received instead, from a member of the Veterans' Corps who accom- . panied the young man, a visiting card which bore the words: The Young Man with the Cream Tarts. 7 The Suicide Club, Box court, W. P.T.O. On the other side were the words: 1 "In giving you this cream tart, which I think you will enjoy, I am enacting the incident from Robert Louis i Stevenson's . Suicide Club for the f British and Colonial Kinematograph ' Company, Limited." \And with this explanation the people b who thought they were dreaming sudp denly awoke.
