that simply collecting a variety Of dishes
no matter how delicious or appetizing
each may be by itself-does not oonsti-
tute a good menu. Not all diners. wo-

the requirements for good menu. but
the gourmet does and is as disturbed
over a poorly arranged dinner as an artist
by a bad combination OF color. The host

OF giving good dinners must arrange the
menu according 60 the gourmets stand

After the dishes for the various courses
have been decided upon, their respective
appearance and flavor must be consid-

be as varied as possible and tbs eiabor-

SENSATIONS PROMISED.
A Washington Dispatch Says BristOw Was
Sent to Cuba to Prevent Official Ex-
plOsIOns in Washington.

Washington, May 28.-Sensational
stories are current here relative to
wholesale purchases of office furni-
ture for the general post office here
and in Cuba and Porto Rico, school
furniture for the islands, safes, horses
and carriages and variety of other
articles that Uncle Sam authorizes
his agents to buy. 1t is being charged.
among other things, that Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General Bristow,
who has earned a reputation for ex-
IRENE severity in dealing with fraud
and evasion, was sent to Cuba not
alone because he was deemed the
most desirable man to clean out that
involved postal service, but because
there was a demand for his expatria-
ton to prevent possible explosions in
Washington.
1t is known that Bristow for sew
eral months before his departure had
not spoken to another high official of
the post office department and that
the only communication between his
Office and that of the official in ques-
ton was of perfunctory character.
Bristow has demanded that certain
conditions which he condemned in I'M
measured language must cease and
made no cOncealment of the fact that
his condemnation was intended to be
applied to the acts of the official with
whom he had quarreled.
