FAMOUS FEASTERS.
Gambetta's One Great Dinner-The Ro-
mans as Gross Feeders.

Edward Ccnnor, in an article in The
Table on the delicacics of the table, cites an
aphorism of Taleyrand to the effect that
it is essential tn give good dinners and
Keep VOL with women. Talleyrand him
self acted upon this principle, and his sue
cess in both directions is historical 1t is
also an axiom of diplomatists and states
men that bad dinners are conducive to
bad diplomacy, and bad ministerial din
ners mean bad laws and bad negotiations.
Gambetta, when ho was in power, was
av'lrse to dinner giving. He gave but one
during his tenure of Office, but that so
perfect as to make amends for his previous
shortcomings. 1t was prepared by the
celebrated Trompette, and so completely
aroused the enthusiasm of the papal nun
