that more Americans are learning every

some dishes will eventually be dropped
from the menu.
AS to how much it costs genuine bon
vivant to dine now and how much it cost
him to dine yesterday-that is, before
prohibition-there is no way to mark the
difference. Truth to say there exists no
difference, for the true bon vivant dimes

efforts of a few mistaken persons to cor

dishes into English. 1t is an impossible
thing to do and far from desirable.
Admitting that it is better to call all
dishes by good English names, capable of
being understood by English speaking
people rather than to put them in a strange
tongue the bad French that Frenchmen
do not understand, still there are names
that cannot be translated, and il they

There is good deal of social feasting
going on in New York this season just as
formerly, but if you read the social doings
columns in the newspapers you will see
that when people give dinners before the
opera or debutante party. &c, they are
quite in the mode when they take their
guests to one or other of the best liked
restaurants. Occasionally, however, they
do ask guests to their homes, and when
they do there is nothing Lucullian about
the feast they spread. 1t is, in fact, good

evidence intimating that Mrs.
