endless and usually amusing. A man
whose career had confined his knoWl-

company who ordered intelligently
from an extensive bill Of fare. It con-
tanned so many classified dishes as to
make a fair sized book, the pages Of

order to go to the kitchen was stand

order slip and pencil in hand. The de-
lay was noticeable and irritating to
the unskilIed diner, and finally he
pointed blindly to the middle of a page
with his finger.
"Giye me some Of that" he said.
