They Object to tho Clubs Furnishing Re-
freshments for House Functions-The
Doings of tho Week and Some That Arc
to Come.
The caterers, having words and frowns for
their weapons of warfare, are fighting with
the clubs. The clubs recently have Deen
doing a deal of work for outside balls and
parties, and the caterers declare so great IS
the love for high sounding names that the
people to have it said a club was engaged DIV
them are willing to put up with inferior
work and even to pay more for 1t. The CLUBS
retort by turning up their noses, metaphori-
cally speaking, at the caterers. This IS the
boiling over in the little home teapot. Re
garding an outside confectioner and chef de
cuisine coming here to cater, the home ca
terers and the club stewards are of one
opinion, which is that he is very poor SORT
At a recent wedding Sherrey, OF New Y ork,
served the wedding supper, and ever since
it has been industriously circulated that the
imported article was vastly inferior to the
domestic one. 1t looks as though the ma
tlonal policy Of protection was lmDulnS
everyone with selfishness- that will De
satisfied with nothing less than Government
interference when two men WISH TO engage
in the same business i'll the same town.
