whose home was on tho same street.
At first the friendship between the two
women seemed mutual, but in few
weeks the bride slowly but surely began
TO repulSe the advances of her neighbor.

From I'm cpicurean point of view it
lacked much i'll the way of prepara-
ton and manner of serving. To the
modern mind the thought of meat and
fish so lavishly garnishcd with gold
would tend to revolt rather than
tempt the palate. III the succeeding
years the manner of preparing food
hanged little by little and a certain
srOtesquc began to be felt. The wags
Of the day made many iests and the
street poets earned many an honest
penny from their parodics on the fool
ish tastes Of the day. The coming of
the French influence caused a reve-
luton gastronomically. The, heavy
repasts disappeared entirely. A deli
cacy Of taste made itself felt. French
cooks were imported from Paris to
teach the Milancse, and it is due to
them that at the present time, in Italy
Milancsc cook is priced and ranks
next to a French one
This delicacy of taste was felt
throughout all classes. In his me-
moirs the Ambassador de Brosses re-
cords with much surprise the Lon,-
bard's love Of sweets and relates hav-

take care of itself while he entered a
