removed from Osnabrock with his fami-
ly to Belleview, Wash, about five years
ago. He had been ill with poor chances
OF recovery since last spring, gradually
growing worse, although none of the re-
latlves and friends of the family here
thought the end was so near. Since re-
moving to Belleview he had returned
here every fall for visit and to look
after his extensive farming interests at
Osnabrock and the first apparent falling
of in his health was noticeable while
here two years ago.
Deceased was fifty-tive years of age, is
survived by widow and grown family
of three, two daughters, Mrs. Helgeson
and Mrs. Johnston and one son, Attor-
ney Gordon McGauvran. He has four

ran was man who will long be remem
bered by all who knew him here for his
many kindly acts, his sympathy and ap.
preciative understanding Of the needs o.
his fellow man.

If the dinner has been ordered correctly it
will be served correctly, for nearly all Chicago
restaurants give good service. Then the only
important thing left for the host, besides the
eating, is the paying and the tin.
There are definite rules about tipping that
easily be followed. For simple luncheon
for two, tip from 10 to 35 cents, according
to the service rendered. For simple dinner
for two never tip less than 40 cents For
three, so cents is the least that tip should
be. If the bill is larger than So, the tip
should always be 10 per cent of the bill Usu-
ally the man who gives tips of 90 cents at
an average dinner is giving just the right
amount.
The man should always order the dinner.
This rule is not an iron bound one, however,
for if he wishes he may allow his guest, if she
is young lady, to order the dinner Or she
may be consulted to a choice of food. Usu-
ally, though, it is best for the host to do all
of the ordering himself.

The first thing to do in restaurant is to
check your wraps. The man who clings to his
coat as il it were a lifelong friend whom he
refuses to leave shows that he isn't accustomed
to eating in restaurant. Don't be afraid to
part with your wraps. You'll get them back.
To be sure, it will cost you trifling tip in
the process, but if mere tip is going to
worry you, you had best not eat in restaur-
ant anyhow. The checking just applies to the
man. All the women should keep their wraps,
unless the wraps in question are of ancient
cut and not ornamental The woman who
allows her coat to be checked is as wrong as

Order Starts NTH a Cocktail.

The waiter is waiting respectfully for your
order. What to do? The proper thing, ac-
cording to restaurant men, is to order cock
tail. Everybody drinks cocktails, they say.
Years ago cocktails were considered improper.
Only men drank them and only some men.
Now the person who does not drink a cock
tail before dinner in restaurant is said to
be unique. Dubonnet or French cocktails are
the best as far as "what to order :" is con-
cerned. Order Cloverleaf or a Bronx il you
wish to be up to the minute"
OF course, you need not order cocktail and
there are still hundreds of our best diners
who don't, but the proper thing to do is to
order a cocktail, 1t is declared. The man
who doesn't know will probably order Mar

your dinner. Many people believe that IL is
correct to order course by course, eating only
a section of dinner before deciding on the
next. This may do if you are preparing a

grocer but If you are in a restaurant it is all

An ideal luncheon may consist Of

waiter will see that everything is served to

The canape must come first This is, as of
course you know, the appetizer. 1t is fol-
lowed by the oysters or shell fish. Next
comes soup. On the menu it will be headed

greatest error one can make in restaurant,
according to the critic, is to order soup before
oysters. This is done every day by people
who pretend to know the right way to order
