REFORMING THE MENU.
Comfort in Sight for Diners Who Con
 not Read French.

Comfort in Sight for Diners Who Con
 not Read French.
 One oft-discussed but postponed reform, that of printing the menu in United States" instead of French, seems at least to be within visible dis tanee of realization, says the Pittsburg Dispatch It has made substantial pro- gress in London. New Englani hotel keepers have formally resolved to adopt 1t, and even in New York it's ad- vocacy is being listened to with pa- tience.
 There has never been any good rea- son for the Gallicized menu in English speaking countries. The use of French as the language of diplomacy can be understool because it afforded a medi- um of mutual knowledge, but French as the language of the bill of fare had no such excuse.
 If the chef could not name his crea- tions in English the walters, who had no pretext fer pretending to be French might have translated the titles into terms that their customers could un- derstand. Ii has long been suspected that the chief reason for persisting in French menus was the profit that ac- crued through the ignorance of the pa irons. The man who made bluff at reading the menu and told the wiater "to gi' me some of that" had to pay for it whether he could eat 1t or not.
 Coincident with this spelling reform is to be another of almost equal impor- tanee. The number of dishes is to be reduced Frequently the variety of items has been only less bewilderirg to the average diner than the French it. self. By reducing the number it is ex- pected that the proprietors will save money, the cooks will be able to devote more attention to the smaller selection they do prepare, the customer will get better prepared food and everybody ought to be happy.
 But the main reform will be the lan- guage. There is hope at last for the man who, confronted suddenly with an araay of unintelligihle preparations, and after a vain search for a Pork and ten cents," sign on the palatial walls. has too often been compelled to throw up his hands and console him self with ordering "beefsteak.
