a Gallant Noble and How He Taxed Ris
Cooks Resources.
Remarkable instances of gallantry
are the subject of an article in the San
Francisco Examiner, which says:
In London n century ago it was no
uncommon practice on the part of the
"fast men" to drink bumpers to the
health of a lady out of her shoe.
The earl of Cork relates On incident
OF this kind, and to carry the compli-
mont still further, he states that the
shoe was ordered to be dressed and
served up for supper.
1.-THE cook sat himself seriously to
work upon it; he pulled the upper part
(which was of fine damask) into fine
shreds and tossed it up into q ragout,
minced the soles, cut the wooden heel
into thin slices, fried them in batter
and placed them round the dish for
garnish. The company testified their
affection for the lady by eating heartily
of this exquisite impromptu."
