Ex-senator and Mrs. John B. Hender-
son were hosts at an altogether unique
dinner last night. when their guests
were twenty-four distinguished men at
tending the National Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis. An entirely
vegetarian menu was served and at the
same time the guests were informed of
the gastronomie Value of each dish.
The menus were dainty affairs done on
pastel brown paper. with pictures OF
Boundary Castle, the Hendersons' beau
ti9ul home, on the cover. Each dish
was numbered. A card under bearing
corresponding figures, showed the num-
Der, kind. and proportions Of food units,
or ''calories,'' contained in each dish
served to the guests.
These analyses were made by Dr..
Wiley, chief OF the Bureau OF
Creek, and other well known chemists
from recipes furnished them by BENEFIT,
the famous English vegetarian chef Of
Mrs. Henderson.
Red Color Scheme.
The table cloth was of red silk, with
frill of the same at the border, and re-
lieyed with white silk lace trimmed
doylies Red Bohemian glass and red
roses, with red tipped candles. carried
out the strong color scheme.
The dinner consisted of:

Mrs. Henderson.s vegetarian dinners
have been enjoyed in seasons past by
nearly every statesmen and diplomat IN
Washington. The only plea against
them Is that diners seriously object 10
being defrauded. even If ever SO skill
fully, into believing they arc, eating
meat, patties and croquettes. when in
fact, they are "Just vegetables.
