The Menu Card In Its First Form

In it's old fashioned form the menu
was usually written large on cards of
such imposing dimensions that room
for one only could be found at each
end of the board. In the medieval
dinner this aid to selection must have
been an absolute necessity, for the
medieval dinner was a mine of sur
prises 1t was divided into courses, as
are our own dainty meals; but, whereas
nowadays the diner has general idea
that fish will follow soup and that en-
tree is succeeded by relieve and can
conceive generally the sort of demand
that each course will make upon his
appetite and digestion, there was no
possible arguing as to what was going
to happen at an early English dinner,
and close study fails to reveal the ex-
istence of any principle of arrange
ment.

The Site of the White House.

The site for the presidents palace,
as the first maps name it, was select
ed by President Washington and Ma
jor L'Enfant when they laid out the
federal city in 1892. They purposed to
have the presidents house and the
capitol reciprocally close to the long
vista formed by Pennsylvania avenue,
and they also laid out a parklike con-
nection between the two great build
ings. The plans for the house, select
ed by Washington and Jefferson as
the result of competition in which
L'Enfant took part, were drawn by
James Hoban, a native Of Dublin and
a medal man of the Society of Arts
