used to serve about ten courses. while
now there are only FIVE or six. The
foods AS more simple. People don't
seem to care for as many gravies and
sauces, the compounds of which are
mysteries known only to the chef.
'Of course this tendency toward sim
pier foods-it might better be put sim
pier dinners-necessitat cutting out a
great many old time favorites. For
one thing ] notice a general disposition

nearly so popular as they used to be.
I can't explain it. Maybe people have
grown tired of them, or il is barely pos
sible that the typhoid agitation may
have had something To do with the
change.
Fish still holds its own and there is
no reason why il should not. with so
many excellent varieties in the market.
But it is more simply served and the
native flavor is not smothered in sauces
as it frequently was when the guests
seemed to demand highly seasoned
dressings. You always have the en-
trees and roast or game, but the roast
and game don't always figure on the
same menu. One or the other goes,
according to the taste of the diners.
Usually ii is the game that is neglected.
The salad course remains, but the
salads are simpler. Lettuce and ro-
maine perhaps lead in flavor, but with

those who are thoroughly up> to date
even the mixed salads are composed en-
tirely of vegetables. The dressings are
no longer mysterious compounds to
stimulate the imagination and impair
the digestion. French dressing seems
TO have passed the zenith of its vogue
for the time being, and some of the
guests who insist on making their own
dressings frequently leave out the oil.
As for the meat, lobster. potato and
egg salads. they are no longer seri-
ously considered They might consti-

Of the salad is only TO serve as a relish
TO an appetite whose keen edge has
been somewhat dulled by the previous
courses. The heavy salads are served
to the country cousins.
There has been A great change in
the matter Of desserts. These were al
ways the weak point of women. But
women are eating fewer desserts than
I have ever known, and 1t keeps taxing
the ingenuity of the pastry cook to
keep up interest in that part of the din
ner. This probably is largely owing to
the dieting fad which seems to have
taken such a strong hold on the society
women of to-day. At stag dinners the
desserts are more likely to be passed up
than not. but if the women keep such
strict dietary rules the men will have
to cultivate a sweet tooth or the Dastry
