extensive bill Of fare. 1t contained so
many classified dishes as to make
fair sized book. the pages Of which he
paved aimlessly and in dismay. The
waiter. who needed only his order to
go to the kitchen. was standing at one
side deferentiaily. with his order slip
and pencil In hand. The delay was no
ticeabIe and irritating to the unskilled
diner. and finally lie pointed blindly to
the middle Of page with his finger.
