ITO dine is an art" he said yester-
day. LAS with all the other arts,
there are few masters Of dining. Yet
the guiding principles are but two.
The dinner of the man who knows
how to eat is merely simple and per-
feet"
Asked to give a list of don'ts for
dinners he said solemnly:
Never serve coffee except at the
end Of the meal. Never fail to give
the utmost attention to the sauce.
The sauce fits the fish or meat as

dessert A bit Of fruit is the only
right thing to follow the pastries
Never omit pate de foie gras, if it is
in season, after the piece de resist
ance and before the dessert"

times but the esoteric artist refused

him arrested.
