CHICAGO EPIcURE MEETS
WITH DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT T

WITH DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT
Take tip from Walter w. Naef, the
Chicago hotel man. and don't rely too
much on the judgment of fish house
propretors il you would learn how
really delicious are certain specimens
of the fnny family found in the Paci-
fic waters.s
There are tastes and tastes.
Mr.. Naef arrived at the Hayward a
couple Of days ago. accompanied by a
strong determination to see all Of Cali
fornia that can be seen by two eyes i'm
a brief space of time. His first move
was trip to Catalina and his first
thought upon arriving there was to ap-
pease healthy appetite with some of
the fish that made the island famous.
Being tenderfoot he decided that
| the best place to find fish would be a {
some fish house. Any one can go to a
| hotel in any city of the world, but real
fish in fish house is altogether differ
ent He and his friend found one Of the
numerous little places kept by Jim" or
'Long Tom" or one Of the Others They
asked the man who seemed to be pro-
prietor, chef and he only knows what
else what kind Of fish he had He
named a dozen and they were all as
| Greek or Sanscrit to the hungry traV-
| elers.
1--WE don't know one kind from an
other, but you cook up some Of the fish
| that you like best and we will come
back in half an hour"
| The man beamed and the two went
| out for stroll on the beach. At the
! end of the allotted time they returned
more hungry than ever and with Wis
ions of the fresh fish fried just to a
| turn.
With an air Of triumph the cook
brought on the fish. 1t was neither
fresh nor brown or fried just to turn.
1t was salt Goldfish cooked with milk
and onions and some other. things that
Mr.. Naef had never tasted.
That's the finest fish in the world.
| SIR" said the cook and his chest
swelled with pride. ''It is cooked just
the way would cook it if was doing
it for meself."
Though salt Goldfish were the greatest
dainty in the world to the old fisher
man, a visitor with a hankerlng fo- "a
sample Of freshNf fish could hardly be
expected to appreciate it. They ate a
little not to wound the old man and
then sought the Metropole hotel, where
they had a fish dinner.
Rivalry for Brides
"All mankind love a lover" said r.
w. Emerson in good truth, but II is also
a fact that all the world is interested
in bride and bridegroom. There is
no end of good natured rivalry among
the hotels to see just which one will
become the most popular with the
newly married. The contest Is an I'M
certain one and so far the odds are
about equally divided The Van Nuys
is having a turn just now Yesterday
Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Wineman of OK
nard. arrived at the hotel on their
| fn the Grand 20 nybo
are going to pass their honeymoon. Mrs.
Wineman is the daughter of Maj. Duff
| fill and there were few more popular
or attractive girls in the section of the
country from which she comes.
Football Men Arrive
| L. j. Greenhood and Sig Klein, the
advance guard of the Berkeley football
huskies, who are going to have a try
out in the Englishman's game with the
Pomona college boys, arrived at the
Angelus yesterday. Mr.. GREENWOOD is
manager of the Berkeley team and he
and his assistant had a busy time yes
terday in explaining the various good
points of the new game to the Southern
California football enthusiasts who
called upon them. Judging by the in
game. there should be large attend
ance at the game next Saturday.

can ticket at the time George C. Pardee
