VEGETARIAN's 20
POEM
Discussed in a Beautiful Bower Fes.
TONED With Carrots, Turnips
and CabbageS.

The disciples of Vatel, the King OF
cooks, he who drove a skewer through his
Vitals because he served Louis XIV with a
cold sauce, met last evening and reVeled
in all those dainties which epicures love
so we'll.
1t was the twentieth anniversary of the
founding of the Societe Culinaire Cos
mopolite de Secours Mutuels de San Fran
cisco. and couple of score of chefs
gathered about the festive board at the
Nevada restaurant at AT Pine street.
Judging from the assemblage the Maison
Richie. Marchand's, Tortoni, Delmonico's,
Jacks, Berger, Campis, Occidental,
Palace, Baldwin, Lick aud other caravan
saries must have been lacking in chefs, for
the heads of the culinary department in
these places mentioned were all present N
dress suits.
John Loupy and his brother Noel of the
Nevada restaurant were not exactly the
hosts. each chef having provided some
masterpiece from his own cuisine. But
the two brothers acted as director-generals,
and the delightful menu was partitioned
out by them with the decorum to which
its daintiness was entitled.
Following is the menu:

its usual elaboration of set pieces and
allowed its genius to lean priD cipally to
quaint pieces-mo ntes consisting solely of
vegetables. The entire hall was decorated
with cabbages, carrots and green's. man.
moth pyramids taking up space at each
corner and cleverly arranged punches OF
turnips, radishes and the like next to each
guest. 1t was truly apparent from all
outward appearances that the ruling
spirit of the present occasion was con-
irmed vegetarian, for, instead of the
meaty idea which has heretofore been so
much in evidence at these anniversar
the cabbage and carrot, the radish and
other vegetables were to the fore in great
abundance and in elaborate display.
