HoNoRINo A MODEST EDIBLE
Banquet at Which Only Fragrant
Onion Was Served.

II is unquestIonably true that the ad'
mirable vegetable known as the onion
Is undsr the ban, so to speak. Its
pungent odor, regarded by many peo-
pie as offensive, frequently drives Its
admirers to partake of It In secret and
then TO muzzle as far as possible Its
telltale aroma The onion has served,
too, as the basis for many quips and
hings at the hands of the humorous
paragraphers. And yet 1t Ii an ex'
tremely wholesome plant and one OF
high rank with the ancients, partlcu
larly the early Egyptians, For these
.easons 1t is pleasant to note that the
tabooed edible met with deserved
recognition at what was termed an
onion reception and banquet in an In.
terror New York town called Union.
which in this case might plausibly
seem a corruption OF onion. II vas ar
ranged in honor OF the sixteenth an
adversary Of tho special guests OF the
evening. and the onion was the center,
and scenter, Of attraction, The house
was decorated with onion blossoms,
an onion centerpiece graced the table,
and the bill OF fare included onions
and onions only-top onions, sliced
onions, stewed onions, onion salad,
and friend onions. Needless to say
the guests, who departed at a late
hour, went away breathing many en-
comiums Of the fragrant bulb OF honor.
It certainly was great night for the
onion.
