IN order to bring to a specific tase tbs
congratulations regarding the cost OF dining al
home and at the Savoy, I asked the head waiter.
OF the restaurant what he could propose In the
form OF good dinner for two persons. The usual
practice, when client makes gUch request, L.
70 indicate TO him dinner which, for a party Of.
say, four 70 twelve persons, will cost for each
Is O.. or los I'd. The higher Of these two prices
naturally suggested Itself IS the minimum II a
really GoOd dinner were TO be prepared for only
two, since, Ii aD hotel IS n private house. &c Ia
impossible TO servs certain dishes for two persons
without using enough material for four. Whan
this deIicate question had been settled va told
that for l5s- I'd each night select almost any
thing liked As the bill OF fare which We hia
upon became afterwards the subject Of very
careful study, in order that the cost OF Savoy
dinner and dinner cooked II 6 private house
might be accurately compared, the items may bs
given With q word Of comment.

Az experienced housekeeper was asked nexs
day accurately TO estimate for precisely the sane
dinner. Il seems only fair. however, II making
the comparisons, that some indulgence should ba
shown towards the houSekeeper's side Of the case
and some rigoCT toward the n0-el's, since Il IS
obviously easier for an hotel than for a private
household 70 give the choice between two dishes.
In this las. I'd. dinner at the Savoy I wac for
example. first offered the choice between I-esh
caviar and oysters. Il 50 happens that 7 havs
often bought caviar II the original packages,
which cost Isl. in Paris, or 1Ss. Cd. n London.
I know OF experience how much caviar two men
Of reasonable appetite viii cOusUns at the
beginning OF dinner, and think there can
be 10 question that IS. is a very reasonable
allowance for this item know, zoo, from agree
able experiment., that oysters At Driver's-and
1t IS from there that the Savoy oysters cone
cost So. cd. dozen 1t Is true that was offered
N this dl2ner at the Savoy the opportunity 70
ea5 both caviar and oysters bGt few men are
enough TO begin a dinner with both.
and, on the other hand 70 would Do hardly fair to
expect e cook in q private house 20 order both,
without moving which would be wanted. 7 have
therefore taken the mean between the two costs,
and the estimate for this dinner, privately cooked,
