has been spared by the board of
Directors TO secure to our patrons
the very best instructors 10 the

NEW YORK, April "a. = Cooking
as a fine art was the subject of the
interview with George August

the reporters on his arrival here from
Europe on the Deutschland last
night to leading question about a
characteristic American article on
diet, Schoffier, whom kings and gov
ernments have honored in acknowl-
edging the excellence of his cook

America but not for France. French
cooking is regarded as a fine art"
continued the chef, "is not a waste OF
talent as has been charged by the
envious. 1T does not induce Brights

fore him. Schofier is here on his
first visit to this side OF the water
