FRENCH MENUS.
They Are n Thing Of the Past, and
English Is Now CseI

A gentleman who had noted the ten
dency upon the part of the restaurateurs
of late to have their menu entirely in Eng
fish, asked one of them what brought about
the change from the old way, when French
was the popular form for every menu in
tirst-class establishments. He said:
"A change of time and a change of taste.
There was a time when restaurants could
charge very big prices. 1t was in good times,
and people didn't care much what they paid
so that the service was up to the very best
Then we put the bill of fare in French as a
gentle deception. Few could read French,
and when they ordered pommes de terre
they were under the impression they were
getting a French dish when, ii fact, they
were getting plain everyday murphies with
the jackets on.
Il remember many funny cases. At one
time | had couple of young people at a
table and at the close of the meal they or
dered cafe au lalt, just because it brought up
the close of the menu. When they were
surprised, and the waiter said the girl said
to her beau: well, | know enough French
now to know that KAT aw layit is coffee 1t
won't take me long to learn French, Willie,
II you keep coming here
Another thing. In the old days the
French was gentle deception. A man who
ordered pommes de terre, say, was willing
to pay quarter for them, bat he would have
kicked like mule to be called upon to pay
that much for potatoes. People are eating
roast beef and beefsteak now, and French
dishes don't go. | guess the nation is get
ting more and more to have pride III Amer-
lea and all things that are American" ~t j o.
