An Oriental Meal.

There was nothing in the meal that
looked or even tasted like an Ameri-
can dish. The meat, folded up into
tmall squares. was cooked in oriental
ways, unknown 10 American cookery.
while the little rice connections, rolled
up in grapevine leaves, were as deli
cious as spinach, and the tiny sum-
nler squash. filed with an appetizing
stufing, made a pleasing dish. Pastry.
cheese and sweets were also different
from the customary American delica-
eies, and, lastly. the great Turkish
pipe, with its long smoke-cooling tube
filled with Persian tobacco. replaced
the American cigar. The bill Of fare
written in Arabic, backward, as is the
custom with that language. looked
like a stenographer's notebook.-Na

We walked on down the road. Below
