EPICURES STUDY HOTELS.
Then They Go One Place or Another,
as Fancy Dictates.

as Fancy Dictates.
Epicures accustomed to dining in ho-
tells and restaurants study the policy
OF each fashionable place and readily
tell just why they go to one place or
avoid another. They have their likes
and dislikes, aside from actual eating,
regarding the walters, the music, the
ventilation and a hundred and one
other things a casual visor would
fail to appreciate.
For instance, at one restaurant only
single portions are served for one per-
SOD. At another where the cooking is
equally good, half portions, nearly or
quite as large as the single portions Of
other places, are served for one per-
son. There was a little dispute at a
well known hotel over a mistake in an
order of trout and chicken that made
a difference of several dollars on
check for a rather simple dinner for
two. 1t was settled "out of court" as
it were, and quite agreeably, but hotel
managers regret and try to avoid these
mistakes, especially when the customer
is a regular visitor, for they know he
never forgets the details of his eating
and is slow to forgive an error.
Another popularity of diners is as to
the location Of tables. Some persons
cling to one table and feel aggrieved
when they find another in their favor
ite seat Restaurant proprietors have
tried to understand this peculiarly Of
their patrons, but have to admit they
fail to explain it-St Louis Republic.

Why Naval Uniforms Arc Blue.

Naval uniforms all the world over
pretty well are navy blue. The Brit
ish fashion in this matter has been the
rule with maritime people in general
That blue was ever selected for the
kings naval service was a fortuitous
happening. When in 1747 the ques-
tion Of uniform was being considered
the color selected had very like to
have been French gray laced with sill
yer. While the king was still not
quite decided be saw the Duchess of
Bedford in a riding habit Of blue
faced with white and enlivened with
gold lace. 1t was a revelation. Here,
the king declared. was the uniform for
his sea service officers. and no more
was heard of French gray. The navy
took to blue, and every other navy has
taken to it since.-Pall Mall Gazette

All the members of the commits

the following resolution:
"The commission believes Il TO be

tons licensed by the commission are
hereby instructed to permit only the

revocation of the license"
This was at once unanimously
adopted and becomes rule of the

speck of a cloud that promised to
hide ray of the sweltering sun was
eagerly watched while If ardent
wishes could have operated on nat

followed every cloudy manifestation.
Gradually this hot spell has in
creased in intensity until today the

Tally suffering. Last night a walk
along any street would have dis

dents at midnight and even later. be-
cause sleeping was so disagreeable

the day started off with a tempera
ture of 81, the highest this season
for that time of the day.
Thermometers yesterday registered
a temperature of SO degrees. II was
the highest this summer and today
bids fair to go TO the 100 mark. The
heat is all the more oppressive from
the enormous quantity of moisture
in the atmosphere. The suns rays
