Though land and sea divide the 
Hon. Curtis Guild, Jr., American 
ambassador to Russia, from his Bos- 
ton home, he intends having things 
as homelike as possible in the em- 
bassy.. To that end, every week he 
mails a grocery order to one of the 
big Boston houses, and each week 
the groceries are forwarded from 
Boston. The orders display the 
-usual variety observable in the se- 
‘lection of groceries in an American 
city, but there is one unfailing item, 
‘fone half-dozen yeast cakes,’’? which 
appears every week. ‘‘Col. Guild 
prefers his bread made on the Amer- 
ican plan to anything the Russians 
can provide him with, I guess,’’ 
marked the grocer the other day as 
he packed the ambassador’s order 
for forwarding.
