fered to him, devoted himself to cookery
and became the foremost artist of his
time Could music have added to the
charm of feast prepared by him?
Would it not have been, on the con-
trary, a detriment? No appreciative
musician would wish to eat during the
performance of symphony by Beeth-
oven. But Soyers and Beethovens are
rarely found. There are plenty of cooks
who need the aid of music and there
are plenty of composers who need the
aid of cooking. Experience has taught
most of us that the usual table d'hote
dinner cannot be trusted to stand alone.
1t has certain defects much music mol
lilies or obliterates- A doubtful entree
may be transformed into something
rich and strange by the measures of an
overture. Thin claret may become
nectar under the sway of the reminis-
cences which the strains of a Strauss
waltz arouse. Yet this conclusion in
wolves the assumption that the music
is good. A violin out of tune would
only add to the misery of a muddy con-
somme Contemporary testimony is all
to the effect that the music at a New
York table d'hote is bad. The terrible
dinner orchestra, says one authority,
can be agreeable to those who are stone
deaf Obviously this argument does not
affect the abstract question of the de-
STABILITY of music at dinner. 1t only
shows that better musicians are needed.
There is another cOnSidera ton which
music, even if well played, is not dinner

culinary experts as well, and they
haughtily refuse to consult the cher.
There is a symbolism in these things
