ment that knows no waste, that accounts
for tins thriftiness. Only the French
seem to succeed with these small res
taurants in this quarter. Both Ameri-
can and English women have tried the
experiment, armed with all the recipes
for dishes dear to the heart Of Ameri-
cans, and yet they have failed, because
their prices would mount higher than
their French neighbors.
"Henrietta's" is one of the most sue
cessful of these little restaurants. Its
situation is particularly happy. Tucked
away in the middle of that short rue
Leopold Robert" where it is rumored
that 600 Americans are housed, it enjoys
an exclusive American patronage.
Last summer it boosted only a single
room and a kitchen, hen two more
rooms We're added, and this winter the
pretty, bright court adjoining was
glassed in SO as to make a big attractive
dining room that is always croWded at
meal hours.
The greatest attraction at Henrietta's
now is the mural decoration that has been
undertaken by two of the cleverest girl
artists in "the quarter Miss Mumford
and Miss Lunborg. In the q%uaintest,
nos decorative way possible they have
told the tale OF 1.-The Queen of Hearts,
who made some tarts, all on a
day" The work has been done without
any previous sketches for the compost
ton or color scheme, and the artists here
are adj unanimous in their praise of the
decoration.
The restaurant of the Girls club rue
de Chevreuse has always been popular.
The directors of the club make every eff
fort to keep the restaurant on the most
reasonable basis possible: and at the
same time there is a wholesome variety
of food. The frieze of the dining-room
attracts no end of attention. It is a most
spirited array of game and vegetables
painted boldly on ordinary brown wrap
ping paper. Three or four years ago it
was designed for the girls dining room
by a clever architect, who has since won
laurels in his own country.
J~osephine's little restaurant, which
catches all the pupils from the great bite
A%telier, is another popular place with the
American art students. Josephine and
her sister are WI shrewd, f~ar-sighted,
business women. who have been so sue
cessful in their little restaurant that they
have been obliged to have their place en-
larged and refitted in the past year. On
Fridays, at the dejeuner hour, the little
restaurant is crowded with the bite
pupils, who come expressly for Joseph
ines celebrated Goldfish balls and corn
beef hash. These two dishes a New
England" girl taught Josephine to make,
and On these two dishes her reputation
has flourished and become famous.
Thomas is another little restaurant
that is patronized by the students.
though they make no pretenses to cater
to Americans especially. Occasionally
the little waitress tells one with great
glee that they have "sWeet put-tar-toes'
on the bill Of fare that nave been gotten
at 1.-The American grocery store"
If one happens In a little late they are
sure to be treated to a quaint little tab
leau. Monsieur, in his white cap and
coat, sitting at a little table in the back
of the restaurant. with his popular great
green-eyed, black cat sitting ~vis-a-vis,
all eagerness for the morsels that come
her way.
