mediocre success, and some are total

Tho wedding Cnlxc.

The custom Of having n special cake
at weddings was introduced into Eng

rather, biscuit, slgnlfled fruitfulness,
hospitality and prosperity. The rice

were continually eating-just as
one meal was over it was time to
get another. So she had devoted
her life to art and had painted

If one excerpts the Schweizer HOf

uriously and tastefulIy furnished than
the average foreign hotel But un-
fortunately one cannot lunch off sad
die bag lounges or dine on alabaster
pillars The food supplied by the
palaces which line the coasts Of our
island is abOminably bad.
Abroad it is very different story.
Everybody in and about d foreign
hotel, from the head waiter down to
the under cooks, takes an interest and
a pride in his business In a British
hotel the servants seem ashamed Of
being caught ministering TO the crea-
ture comforts of others. and even the
Germans and Italians catch over here
the surly, listless air of English cooks
and walters
France is the country Of culinary
extremes; there the cooking Is eth
er very good or very bad The idea
that the humbIest French inn will
produce an appetizing dish is a myth
We have had some of the most nau-
quisite meals in France and outside
the large towns a French hotel. unless
it is in the way Of receiving English
and American visitors, will have san
itary arrangements such as those de-
scribed by Arthur Young in the
eighteenth century.
OF the hotels in the United States
it only remains to be said that they
are four times as expensive as British
hotels and in every point except that
Of service four times as good.
Attendance in the shape Of getting
your bell answered, hot water brought
or boots cleaned, is simply nOn-ex-
istent in an American hotel. But in
cities like New York, Chicago, Bos-
ton and even remote towns like Den
yer, the cooking Of the restaurants
and the quality Of the food are as
good as you would get in Paris. The
linen and the sanitary arrangements
Of American hotels leave nothing to
be desired.

the world are those in. the east, in
India, at Singapore, HongkOnk and
