The Formal Dinner Not Now
A Very Elaborate Function
Tend Is to Limit ime Table
Cours Easter VS.. Western Taste

dinners and banquets given in the East and
those in the West.
The tastes are very different in the two
parts of the country, he thinks. The peo-
pie of the West like palmer food and they
are also much fonder of meats than the
Fasteners. Il remember" he said. when
L came TO this city brought a French cook
with me who had been cooking in the East.
and while he was a perfect artist in his
line he could not please the people OF this
town for the reason that the food he pre-
pared too fancy. People here do not
like an entree OF sweetbreads or anything
of that kind. and in the majority of din
ners we are asked not to serve them. Now.
in the East, all dinners have an entree and
would not be considered complete with
out IT,
THE Fasteners also like FISH, oysters
and game" he went on. while i'm the West
where game and fish are both plentiful. es-
pecially game. they don't care anything
about them for dinner. The only reason
can give for this is that there is a differ
ence in taste as in everything else. L have
spent much time In both the East and West
and have noticed quite frequently that the
food eaten in this part Of the country is OF
a heavier nature, even TO the vegetables"
At the dinners given now there are more
walters so that there will be no delay.
Shortly before Lent began one OF the best
known hosts in the city gave a dinner TO a
party of men 10 which quite a large num-
Der of guests was invited. There were
eight walters to serve the dinner. In less
than an hour the men were smoking in thu
dining room. Twenty minutes later half
OF the guests were gone. The host had got
through another dinner and social progress
was advanced by the incident. which had
occupied less than two hours for the ma
jority of the persons present.
Dinners of twelve now should be served
by at least three walters. And the rule is
to keep things moving. There is none OF
the old-time dwadling through the dinners
in these days.
AS IL TO compensate for this rather per-
functory way of entertaining guests. which
always has the air of getting them TO as
semble and then doing ones duty and turn
ing them out as quickly as possible. there
has come some additional formality in the
manner of dining.
Men have occasionally been at a loss this
year after dinner, when the women were
about TO leave the room. in seeing the host
rise and offer his arm TO the woman he
happened 10 take out. They have quickly
learned that il is new fashion. and has
only been adopted this last winter, for the
men to escort the women back 20 the draw
ing room, afterward returning TO the din
ing room to smoke and leave the women
with their coffee.
The custom originated also in the East.
and there are not many Indianapolis men
who have got on TO IT, but II will doubt
less soon be the common fashion for the
a dinner
from the room. This little attention does
something 10 counteract the growing in
formaiity of the dinner "a a means of enter
tainment.

he nerves of frequent diners-eut
are now taken into consideration.
Next to being good it is thought
most important that a dinner
should be short.
