Supper at the Pre- Catalan That
has festive sound to those who
know their Paris and have driven out
to the gay restaurant in the Bots de
Boulogne after a night of gayety for
a drink Of milk still warm from the
cow. But the reality-well, the mock
Pre- Catalan was a charming place,
with its Towering trees and its rustic
tables shaded by gay umbrellas, and
the food was good enough, but the
service was unspeakable.
The real, live cow" widely her
aided by the committee as one Of the
stars OF the evening, was among those
present, but she was parked" on the
veranda Of the hotel and "they didn't
use her at all"-to quote q young
thing who was sympathizing with
the lonely bessie, until early morn
ing, when Miss Virginia Eckles, Miss
and their corps of milkmaids made
their rounds with trimming pals OF
milk hung from the yokes over thei-
shoulders.
Throughout the evening the long
corridor, with its midway plaisance
rivaled in popularity the ball room
and the supper room. Here the
promenade was continuous and one

Pierrots and Pierrettes, monks and
ladyes fayre, mandarins and midi
nettes, Indians and organ grinders,
all the creatures of fact and fancy,
who mingled in gay confusion. Here,
too. pretty milkmaids sold their
wares; a group of flower girls under
the leadership OF Miss Virginia Hunt.

Roulette-for charity-had its dew
otees, Photographic studio, did a
rushing business; and there was ex-
hibition dancing by way of an Eek
ira added attraction" Miss Enid
Sims did an effective Spanish dance
