LE DERNIER CRI SIR,—Before you dyspeptically close this corre- spondence,

please permit me to address one last word to Madame Crevecceur, and one reverberating belly- rumble to Messrs. Neve, Beck and Co. (who are still not entirely candid about what they throw into the cauldron). To these ingenious people, the margarine makers, I would say only that even if I could digest it I would not wish to eat whale oil; and to the lady who retails standard recipes and degrades them by substituting margarine for butter my one last word is Integrity!—Yours faithfully,
