OF procuring large Quantities for the

In the three capitals there are
three varieties OF war bread Lon
don still boasts the whltest. but Paris
has the fastest. while Roman war
bread has veritable rlnd on II.
What makes the Italian bread more
unpalatable is the ieurth OF butter.

nbstemiously In Italy than In either
Paris or London. In the latter capi-

much under size. Paris Is not 10
harsh. but In Rome It Is served In
public eating places in small enVel-
opes. Its Roman dotractors assert
that marble dust finds its way into
some sugar bins.
There are other little food dlrer-
enccs. London and Paris, compare

and cream. Rome has very little. In
Paris restaurant during the last
days OF June saw magnificent big
basket of strawberries being passed
from table to table. accompanied by n
large stone Jug OF thick. delicious
cream. There was more cream in
that one jug than saw in nearly a
months stay at the Italian capital
Sherbets are fast replacing the
Ice cream in popularity. One OF the
biggest cafes In Rome recently was
heavily fned for using milk for Ice
cream. After n hot day, Rome moves
into the open as the sun goes down
and the usual evening breeze springs
up. There Is music In many Of their |
al fresco restaurants and cafes, and |
the city presents more animated |
outdoor appearance In the evening
than either Paris or London.
This form OF Entertainment Is
blotted out In the French capital

Rome cuts on It's supply OF soft ana
other varieties OF drinks, though peo-
pie linger on until 1i.SO. In London
II Is unlawful to sell alcoholic bev- /
