BILLS OF FARE IN FRENCH-K. NJ.
! O.. CITY. Bills of fare for formal dinners,
| especially for official and semi-ofhcial
| banouets are printed in French as a mat
| ter of fashion derived from European
| customs For a long time French was
the court language in European countries,
and is still more generally used than any
other language as a medium of CORE
snondence and of conversation, not only
in the various courts and in polite soci-
CIV among peoples of different nationali-
ties. but at hotels, on railway cars, other
public conveyances and in restaurants,
also between travellers and guides. Time
was when it was the custom among dip
lomatic officers of all nations to conduct
diplomatic correspondence in French, but
that is passing away and each diplomatic
or consular officer is at liberty to use his
own language to write official documents,
but the French, for the other purposes,
is still almost necessity for travellers.
This. together with the fact that French
cooks still have the reputation of being
the best in the world, and that many Of
the finest dishes receive their names from
French inventors, will help to account for
the fact that at grand dinners the bills
of fare are printed in French. "Potage
Ia refine" would sound very common
place if given on the bill of fare as
"Queen SOUP as also would a great
many other dishes that go to make up
q French dinner.
