A Dinner That Will Tempt Any
Epicure.

In former years it was considered
enough for store to throw a few ever
greens round the place and then point
with pride to the decorations. The old
habit still remains, but not with the
Creamerie. Messrs. Adams have dec
GRATED their celebrated restaurant in
the most artistic way. They have not
only used time-honored holly and ever
green, but have utilized corn, pump
kins and other luscious vegetables in a
manner that easily makes the Cream
erie the best decorated place in the city.
Nor do they attempt to feed the aes-
thetic senses only; their bill of fare
a work of art in gold and colors-offers
the most tempting repast that the mind
of man can conceive of. They only fear
one thing. On Thanksgiving day they
fed 400, and could have fed 100 more;
this Christmas day they are ready to
feed 500, but they want you to call
early and secure your tickets.
